Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

After that, he plans to return to Obelisk to study and make up for the wonderful campus life he missed over the past year...

"Yusei! Danger!" Asuka, her face filled with worry, couldn't help but shout out her inner thoughts.

"Could it be... that Yusei is going to lose?" After a slight pause, Jaden Yuki had this thought in his mind.

"That Yusei who defeated his brother is actually going to lose to this savage..." His eyes trembled violently, and Marufuji Sho's mouth opened unconsciously.

"Uh... (⊙o⊙)... Anyway, at this point, all we have to do is shout '666' and that's it, right!" Maeda Hayato looked around, still not quite following the others' train of thought.

270 shines in my hands (4K)

Originally cornered by Wilderness Knight, the mountain turned the tables and cornered Yusei after drawing the magic card "One-Hit Kill! Iai Draw".

With a damage output of up to 10000 points, if successful, it can turn the tide of battle and seize victory!

This kind of behavior, which can be described as a high-stakes gamble, where failing to draw the winning ticket would result in instant death, undoubtedly requires extremely good luck.

Even Ooyama, who had undergone painful training and believed he had grasped the secrets of gacha, would not have chosen to use this uncertain tactic that required a bit of luck if he hadn't been facing imminent defeat.

After all, the Heavy Trap Card deck alone is enough to deal with most duelists, so there's no need to play such thrilling and risky maneuvers.

However, this was the first time that Daiyama had ever met such a troublesome fellow as Yusei.

Originally, I thought he was just a poor student from Osiris Red, a stepping stone for me to verify the results of my cultivation.

Unexpectedly, this guy turned out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing, forcing him to reveal his trump card and engage in a duel where luck was on his side.

Good thing...

The final gacha result was just as Daiyama had expected; nothing unexpected happened...

Having traversed the mountains of training, I was no longer as unlucky as I used to be, unable to draw the cards I wanted. Instead, I grasped the only glimmer of light in the endless darkness and glimpsed the path to victory...

Now it's time to enjoy your moment of victory!

"...Hahahaha!!! It seems the God of Duel has also favored me!"

Holding the magic card high above his head, Daishan, with a smug look on his face, let out a wild and unrestrained laugh.

Seeing Yusei's slightly surprised face due to the unexpected situation, Daiyama couldn't help but feel even more excited.

Youxing: “…”

"One-hit kill! Iaijutsu draw!"

As Da Shan finished speaking, a huge black shadow, whose exact features were obscured, gradually emerged behind him.

Gazing towards the dueling arena, the black figure, assuming an iaido stance, slowly placed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist. Then, in an instant, he drew his katana and unleashed countless silver-white sword lights towards the arena in front of him.

The two face-down cards facing down in the back row of the mountain, the Elemental HERO Wilder holding the Cyclone Boomerang on the field, and the counter trap card that hadn't been activated and was now too late—Divine Judgment—were all shattered into pieces by this burst of blades, then turned into golden particles of light and disappeared from the field…

The blades flashed, destroying all the cards on the field, and the aftershocks of the attack rushed straight towards Yusei, who stood frozen in place, determined to annihilate him in one fell swoop...

"Yusei!!!"

Seeing the scene on the dueling field, Yusei's companions, worried about him, couldn't help but let out panicked cries.

"Yusei! Take this... a full 10000 points of damage!!!"

As victory seemed within his grasp, the mountain's expression gradually contorted, slowly transforming into a state of exaggerated facial expressions: "For Osiris Red's level, you've done very well, but... in the end, the victor of this duel is still me!"

With five cards destroyed, Yusei is about to suffer 2000*5, which is a whopping 10000 points of damage.

Yusei only has 4000 life points, and there are no face cards on the field right now. Logically speaking, there is absolutely no way he can escape this impact.

"...So, who really won?"

Looking at the current situation, Aunt Duomei, who was completely confused, scratched her head and asked with a puzzled look.

However, with everyone focused on Yusei, they had no time to answer her question.

--boom!

The impact of the Iai Slash directly collided with Yusei's body, and the collision generated a large amount of smoke around Yusei.

Because the scene was obscured by smoke, no one could see what was happening in the dueling arena.

However, the last thing they saw was Yusei taking 10000 points of damage head-on...

No matter what you think...

Even Yusei couldn't possibly survive this impact.

"How could this be? Yusei actually lost..."

Yusei, who always wore a confident expression on the dueling field, had never suffered a defeat, and seemed unafraid of any difficulties, was regarded by himself as his greatest rival in this life...

They actually lost?

I still lost to a savage...

How could I possibly accept something like this?

In disbelief, Yuki Judai clutched his head and collapsed to his knees in anguish.

Shock, confusion, bewilderment, anger...

All sorts of negative emotions surged up in an instant, seemingly threatening to overwhelm Jaden Yuki.

If anyone should lose, it should be to me.

...My Yusei belongs only to me, and I will never give it up to anyone else!

"The face-down card that Yusei destroyed... was clearly [Divine Judgment], which can negate and destroy the activation of Spell & Trap Cards..."

With a look of regret and confusion, Asuka murmured blankly, "He could have stopped Ooyama from activating the trap card, but Yusei deliberately chose not to activate it... Why? Why did he do something so foolish?"

"Huh?" Hearing Asuka's words, Marufuji Sho couldn't help but retort, "Uh... so Yusei just got himself killed by being too reckless?"

"..."

No one answered Marufuji Sho's question. Everyone was shocked by Yusei's defeat and had their own different thoughts.

Yuki Jaden, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly raised his head and showed a look of hatred towards the mountain, his pupils turning golden in an instant.

Jaden, the Overlord, drives the "Evil Hero" and "Hyperfusion"...

The "tyrant" personality that resides at the pinnacle of this other world, leaving all his companions behind, and lies dormant deep within Jaden Yuki's heart, seems poised to awaken at this moment, unleashing its vengeful fury upon the mountains...

"That was close...that was close..."

"If we don't draw that card, it'll be dangerous..."

Feeling a chill creep down his spine, Daiyama, hands on his hips in a victorious pose, turned his gaze toward Asuka and the others: "Your companions are truly strong to have pushed me to this point!"

"But they still fell to me..."

"Ah ha ha ha ha..."

Everyone: "..."

"Ooyama..." A whisper came from Yuki Judai's mouth. Yuki Judai stood up and looked at Ooyama, who was laughing loudly, with an emotionless expression.

"...Who are you saying lost to you?"

Just as Jaden Yuki was about to do something, Yusei's calm voice suddenly echoed in the quiet night.

This voice pulled Yuki Jaden, who seemed to have fallen into a dark state, back to reality, and also cut off Oyama's smug smile.

(Yusei's LP: 4000 → 4000)

"Yusei!"

As the smoke gradually dissipated, Yusei's figure slowly emerged.

Seeing that he was still unharmed, as if he had not suffered any injury, everyone couldn't help but feel relieved.

However, what followed the relief was a huge question mark.

why?

Why did Yusei's health points not suffer any damage?

At that moment, the light from the Iai Slash, which dealt 10000 points of damage, had completely overwhelmed it...

"!?"

With a look of utter disbelief, Daiyama, whose eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, stared in the direction of Yusei.

"Why? Why are you completely unharmed?!"

Oyama, who shared the same doubts as the others, almost lost control of his emotions and shouted his question to Yusei.

impossible! ! !

How could such a thing happen??

"Feeling confused and incredulous?"

Facing the stunned mountain, Yusei dusted himself off and slowly pulled a card from his Duel Disk: "As you activated your effect, I also sent this card to the Graveyard and activated its effect..."

| 【!-

"Varied……"

Looking at the card in Yusei's hand, Daiyama's eyes revealed an even greater shock than before: "[Winged Cotton]... Its effect is to discard this card from your hand, thereby reducing the effect damage you receive this turn to 0, and this effect can also be activated during your opponent's turn..."

"...How is this possible! How could it have such an outrageous effect?!"

His eyes gleamed with disbelief as he watched the mountain recede into the distance from him, and he let out a helpless roar.

"As Iai Slash charged towards me, I activated the effect of this card..." After winking at the people behind him and giving them a reassuring look, Yusei continued to explain, "So, after the cards on the field are destroyed by the effect of [One-Hit Kill! Iai Draw], I will not take any damage!"

Raising his arms high in front of his chest again, Yusei wore a "that's it" expression: "What a pity! Daiyama! Your ultimate trump card, on which you placed so much hope, still couldn't pose any threat to me..."

"No, no, no... I don't believe it!!!"

Unable to recover from the reality before him, Da Shan continued to mutter incomprehensible words.

Seeing the mountain in a dazed state, Yusei waved his hand and entered his turn: "My turn, draw a card!"

"Yusei, use Tomokazu to deliver the final blow to Ooyama!"
