Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

As a certain possibility came to mind, Yusei's expression changed slightly.

If things are really as I think, then even if Marufuji Sho performs exceptionally well, he will never be a match for Kagurazaka...

"Hahahaha!!! Nothing is impossible before the legendary dragon!"

With unrestrained laughter erupting from his mouth, Kagurazaka, who had already envisioned the future in his imagination, gradually began to make exaggerated facial expressions after scanning the group of mortals in front of him.

"You lot, keep your eyes peeled!"

"This is the power of the bond between the Duel King and his companions, the proof of their friendship!"

"...Ultimate power that no one can surpass!"

Accompanied by Kagurazaka's frantic shouts, the phantom of a giant blue dragon appeared behind the black magician.

That majestic figure was the manifestation of the power of Timaeus, one of the three legendary dragons who guarded the world of Duel Monsters in ancient times!

Long ago, in order to protect the world, it fought to the death against the extremely evil serpent god. In the end, it fell into a deep slumber while winning the battle. Now, it has reappeared in the world.

This is the power to protect the world!

What was awakened was an ultimate being that surpassed the limits of human intelligence and was capable of killing gods and destroying stars!

"Fusion Summon——"

"The culmination of the bond between the king and his companions, an ultimate monster that surpasses all existence..."

"—【Super Magical Dragon Knight - Red-Eyes Dragon Knight】!!!!!!!!!"

With Kagurazaka's loud shout, the legendary dragon's figure transformed into endless radiance, enveloping the black magician holding the staff within it.

What was born from that was a being that devoured all light.

The supreme mage, who had mastered all kinds of magic, intertwined with the legendary dragon that once protected the world in radiance, ultimately transforming into the ultimate darkness that devoured everything...

Huge black wings obscured the moonlight cast from the sky.

It was as if the whole world had fallen into absolute darkness at that moment.

The appearance of [Super Magical Dragon Knight - Red-Eyes Dragon Knight] caused extreme anomalies to suddenly appear in the surrounding area.

All light was swallowed up, and endless darkness obscured the moonlight, covered the earth, and also robbed everyone of their sight.

The skyscrapers created by the field magic [Giant Mech City] collapsed en masse in the impact of this summoning...

An invisible pressure enveloped the surrounding area in an instant.

Under its influence, even Kagurazaka himself, who had summoned the monster, couldn't help but feel an urge to kneel down in worship...

In a world shrouded in darkness, only a single red light emanates from it.

Using the only light in the darkness, everyone was finally able to see the full form of the [Super Magical Dragon Knight - Red-Eyes Dragon Knight]...

Beneath the enormous black wings that obscured the moon was a suit of black and gold super-magical armor.

A sharp, black-gold dragon tail, sharp shoulder guards in the shape of dragon claws, a magic helmet in the form of a red-eyed black dragon, and a long, claw-like sword covered in bone spikes, a standard feature of super-magical monsters...

In terms of style, it goes without saying that it belongs to the highest level. However, what is even more eye-catching than its appearance is the dark red gem that is embedded in its joints and chest, which gathers the ultimate magic power...

Red Daddy, Red-Eyed Dragon Knight...

Matching that extremely handsome appearance is naturally a power that surpasses all limits!

In appearance, it is a combination of Yugi Muto's ace monster, the Dark Magician, and Katsuya Jonouchi's ace monster, the Red-Eyes Black Dragon.

The combination of two ace monsters, elevated by the bond of friendship, ultimately gave birth to this ultimate fusion monster with its own unique card-counting effect...

It cannot be targeted or destroyed by effects. To defeat it head-on, you can only summon a monster with higher attack power!

Although it lacks full resistance, it is still enough to cause a devastating impact on most decks!

Before it was banned, it was a nightmare for countless people...

The Wolong, infamous alongside the environmental scourge and the Phoenix Chick—the Destroyer of Phoenixes—is a devastating unnatural disaster in itself…

"Ahhh...Red-Eyes Dragon Knight..."

"...With such power, what do I have to fear?"

"This deck is the ultimate deck I've been pursuing! Only by thoroughly studying Yugi Muto's duels can I reproduce his duels 100%..."

As darkness dissipated, moonlight once again bathed the shoreline.

The Crimson-Eyed Dragon Knight, having retracted its black wings, slowly descended in front of Kagurazaka.

Looking at the huge black shadow standing in front of him, Kagurazaka's eyes couldn't help but overflow with endless madness and confidence!

Indeed, the fault wasn't mine... but the world's!

It's not that I'm too weak, it's just that my previous decks weren't good enough for me!

Look at me now, how powerful I am...

It's absolutely unbeatable, isn't it?

Who else could possibly be a match for me?

Haha ...

……

"Super Magical Dragon Knight... This is the true, most powerful ace in this deck!"

In the world of Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Egyptian God Cards would unleash a thunderbolt as punishment on duelists who refused to acknowledge their authority but forcibly used them.

Kagurazaka should be thankful that there are no God cards in this deck.

Otherwise, the moment he summoned Yugi Muto's [Sky Dragon of Osiris], he would be mercilessly blasted into dust by the ensuing heavenly lightning...

Although it doesn't possess the divine power of the three Egyptian God cards, Kagurazaka, which isn't recognized by the deck, still can't fully control this extreme power.

The moment Kagurazaka unleashed the legendary dragon, he had already paid a heavy price.

It follows the principle of equivalent exchange in alchemy.

While Kagurazaka wields unparalleled power, he also pays the price with his own soul.

The more and longer he uses this power, the more expensive the price he will have to pay!

"Super...Super Magical Dragon Knight..."

"What...what is this???"

Sensing the changes around him at the closest distance, Marufuji Sho's body began to tremble violently, and his teeth chattered uncontrollably in the face of sudden fear.

He had never heard of Yugi Muto, the King of Duel, using such a terrifying monster in his past battles!

"What's so surprising... More than ten years have passed since the Duel City era, and the Duel King's decks... naturally need to be updated!"

Half of his face was stained black, and Kagurazaka, unaware that a part of his soul had been damaged, maintained his exaggerated facial expression.

He gave a relatively reasonable explanation for Marufuji Sho's question.

However, his speech had begun to contain noticeable, abnormal pauses.

Humans have three souls and seven spirits. If one of them is missing, it will naturally be affected to some extent.

Kagurazaka's appearance at that moment looked especially terrifying in the darkness of the night...

"Kagurasaka...you..."

"Hmph! The duel continues... [Super Magical Dragon Knight - Red-Eyes Dragon Knight] effect activated!"

Noticing the changes happening to Kagurazaka, Marufuji Sho opened his mouth as if to say something, but before he could utter a word, Kagurazaka on the other side had already impatiently waved his hand to activate the monster effect of Red-Eyes Dragon Knight.

"Once per turn, during my Main Phase, I can destroy 1 monster on my opponent's field and inflict damage equal to that monster's original ATK!"

Pointing at the [Jet Man] in front of Marufuji Sho, Kagurazaka, recalling the duel scene from before, couldn't help but let his eyes flash with venom: "Disappear! You eyesore of trash!"

It's all because of you that I was defeated by the Magic Cylinder and became the object of everyone's ridicule...

Now, it's my turn to return it all to you!

My resentment, my sorrow, my unwillingness to accept defeat, my dreams...

All my emotions are now focused on this one strike!

As Kagurazaka finished speaking, the black spiral of red light gradually gathered in the left hand that the Red-Eyes Dragon Knight held in front of him.

Holding the long sword in his right hand horizontally in front of him, the Red-Eyes Dragon Knight, as if enchanted, directly imbued the weapon with the red light from his left hand.

After doing all this, he simply swung the long sword in front of him calmly.

brush--

In an instant, dimensions were severed and space was reorganized.

The jetpack-like creature, locked onto as a target, had no time to react before being disintegrated into atomic particles and vanished from the field as light particles...

(Marufuji Sho's LP: 4000 → 2800)

"Jetman...!!!"

The monster was destroyed, and Marufuji Sho also received 1200 points of damage from the Jet Man's attack power.
