Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

"That monster that was so imposing just now... it actually..."

"Holy crap... There's actually such a thing?!" Finally realizing what Yusei was planning, the group couldn't help but swear...

Ignoring the Red-Eyes Dragon Knight's "cannot be targeted" effect, he was forcibly and directly liberated from the rules...

Turtle Hero – Gamseyelle…

...It is indeed a failed application!

It's practically a nightmare for almost all top-tier monsters!

What if the monster on the other side is too strong and we can't beat it?

Don't panic!

I'll demonstrate the "Turtle Transformation Technique" right here on the spot! I'll turn the impossible into possible, and then seize victory into my grasp...

……

"As expected of you! Yusei... you always bring us unexpected surprises!" Gazing at Yusei's figure, Jaden Yuki's eyes couldn't help but shine brightly.

"Ugh... Damn it!!!!" After carefully reading the description of the turtle's effects, Kagurazaka's face turned deathly pale, and she let out a roar filled with intense resentment.

He tried hard to find loopholes in Yusei's words, to refute him with reason, to loudly refuse his request, to throw the card he was given at him, and to bravely say—"No!"...

however……

These are ultimately just fantasies...

The cruel reality was laid bare before Kagurazaka, and whether he believed it or not, he could not change the inevitable fate of the "dragon" turning into a "turtle"!

Indeed... as Yusei said, all his actions conformed to the rules of the duel...

Kagurazaka must go against her own will and act according to Yusei's instructions.

He had to personally send Red Daddy to the graveyard as a sacrifice to be freed, then stick the turtle that Yusei flew over onto the Duel Disk, and also, according to his request, position the turtle in an attack stance...

"..."

This feeling of frustration and grievance almost made Kagurazaka furious!

"Ughhhhhhh...!!!"

"Damn it! Liberation is liberation! Who's afraid of who?! You think you can kill me in a second?"

As if resigned to his fate, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Kagurazaka hesitated for a long time, his face full of unwillingness, before finally tearing the [Super Magical Dragon Knight - Red-Eyes Dragon Knight] off his Duel Disk with reluctance, and then pasting the [Turtle Kaibun Gamisiere] back into its original position.

As Kagurazaka made his move, the sea in the distance began to churn.

It was as if some terrifying species was about to awaken from the sea and display its majestic form before everyone...

"This is……!!!"

Under everyone's watchful eyes, a blue sea turtle, tens of meters tall and with a body as huge as a mountain, suddenly leaped out from the churning sea.

It has a dragon-shaped head, a streamlined blue and white body, and a hard, dark blue tortoise shell.

On either side of the tortoise shell, a huge fleshy wing extends for flying and gliding...

That figure was none other than the turtle-like Kaibeast, Gamesiale!

"……Roar!!!"

The sea turtle Kaimon leaped out of the sea and pounced on the motionless Red-Eyes Dragon Knight, then swallowed him whole to Kagurazaka's astonishment...

And so, the invincible Red Daddy, before he could even play any role, was forced to become Turtle Man's turtle food...

"Hiccup~~~"

After devouring the Red-Eyes Dragon Knight, the turtle floating in mid-air even let out a symbolic burp, seemingly to express its satisfaction with the delicious dinner and its wish for another serving...

"I...my Red-Eyes Dragon Knight...Aaaaaah!!!"

Watching the Red-Eyes Dragon Knight, who embodied his hopes and caused a cataclysmic event upon his entrance, being swallowed whole by a sea turtle as its meal, Kagurazaka's heart broke down...

Although he had already had some ideas in mind beforehand.

But when it actually happened, he still found it hard to accept.

Gone……

It's really gone...

My invincible [Super Magical Dragon Knight - Red-Eyes Dragon Knight] has just turned into a clumsy, goofy turtle...

凸(艹皿艹)！！

"Next... I'll activate the Spell Card—[Monster Resurrection]!"

"...?!"

Just as Kagurazaka was lamenting that his hopes were slipping away, he heard a voice that was both mocking and secretly pleased.

Upon hearing this voice, Kagurazaka looked up at Yusei opposite him and saw him insert a magic card into the back row of his Duel Disk to activate it.

"Magic Card... Resurrection of the Dead..."

"Ma...Masaka (Could it be)?!"

Slightly stunned, Kagurazaka, whose mind was suddenly filled with a terrible thought, began to show an even more desperate expression than before.

He originally thought that the dragon turning into a turtle was bad enough...

But Yusei gave him another huge surprise!

The effect of the spell card "Monster Resurrection" allows you to revive one monster from your or your opponent's Graveyard onto your field.

Yusei's graveyard is empty of monsters, so when he activated this card, he naturally intended to revive the monsters from Kagurazaka's graveyard onto his field...

In the Kagurazaka cemetery, besides the [Dark Magician] and [Destruction Dragon Gandora] who were brought in as materials... there is also an extremely terrifying existence...

That is the [Super Magical Dragon Knight - Red-Eyes Dragon Knight] that was just sent to the graveyard as turtle food!

Clearly, the monster Yusei intends to revive is the very monster that Kagurazaka least wants to see...

When they are partners, they are the most reliable people.

However, when they are enemies, they are the ultimate nightmare that terrifies me the most...

"No way!!!!"

"...Reawaken! The fruit of friendship and bonds—Super Magical Dragon Rider!—Red-Eyes Dragon Rider!"

Amidst Kagurazaka's desperate screams, Yusei, with a wicked grin on his face, mercilessly uttered the name of that person.

Furthermore, as if to make Kagurazaka fully experience what despair is, when declaring the monster's name, Yusei deliberately chose to pronounce it word by word...

Your red dad is awesome, but unfortunately he'll be mine in the next second!

So, are you surprised? Were you taken aback?

Doesn't it feel like a green glow is starting to emanate from above...?

brush--

As Yusei finished speaking, the Duel Disk in Kagurazaka's hand suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

Then, ignoring Kagurazaka's obstruction, a card flew out of the graveyard on its own and landed in Yusei's hand.

That card was none other than [Super Magical Dragon Knight - Red-Eyes Dragon Knight]!

"...You've arrived, Master!"

The ultimate form of the master—Dark Magician Mahad—possesses the most terrifying suppressive power even among the monsters of the [Super Magician] series…

Upon receiving the card, Yusei couldn't help but exclaim in genuine admiration after seeing the magnificent figure engraved on the purple-bordered card illustration.

After that, Yusei, without hesitation, slammed the card onto his Duel Disk with a loud thud.

Despite being denied recognition, Kagurazaka stubbornly persisted in using this card, paying a heavy price for gaining power...

The body has been corrupted, and even the soul is forever incomplete...

However, Yusei has absolutely no reason to worry about this.

Just like what Gilgamesh once said, "The king acknowledges, the king permits, the king bears the weight of the whole world!"

Yusei, who has already been recognized by Mahad, the black magician and loyal servant of Pharaoh Atum, is now qualified to be the king's rival!

Without paying any price, one can freely use Yugi Muto's deck, as well as the monster cards that should have been his exclusive possessions...

"...Descend here! The ultimate darkness born at the end of chaos, transcending the boundaries of time and space!"

A fierce wind blew across the earth...

Black wings once again unfurled before everyone's eyes, obscuring the moonlight from the sky and extinguishing Kagurazaka's last glimmer of hope...

that's it.

Clad in black and gold dragon bone armor, wielding a bone spiked longsword, and with enormous black wings unfurled behind him, [Super Magical Dragon Knight - Red-Eyes Dragon Knight] solemnly resurrected on Yusei's field.

Turn into a turtle, then pull it up from the graveyard...

This move essentially snatched Red Daddy from Kagurazaka's grasp right then and there...

Do not!

Rather, it's more accurate to say that he ended up in the hands of someone more qualified to possess him!

"I...I...I...you...you...you..."

With trembling fingers, Kagurazaka looked at the [Super Magical Dragon Knight - Red-Eyes Dragon Knight] that appeared in front of Yusei, and made incoherent muttering noises.

Kagurazaka seemed to want to say something friendly to Yusei, like a greeting to his whole family.

However, the invisible pressure emanating from the Red-Eyes Dragon Knight directly robbed him of his courage to resist, forcing him to swallow the foul words he was about to utter...

"Red-Eyes... Red-Eyes Dragon Knight only has 3000 attack power! I also have [Magician's Staff] with 1600 attack power and [Turtle Kaiju Gamishiele] with 2200 attack power on my field..."

Forcing himself to regain his composure, Kagurazaka continued, "Have you forgotten... that the 'Super Magical Dragon Knight - Red-Eyes Dragon Knight' resurrected through 'Monster Resurrection' will lose the effect of 'destroying one monster on your opponent's field and inflicting damage equal to that monster's original ATK'..."

"With just this one [half-crippled] monster, no matter how powerful it is, it can't possibly kill me instantly!" Kagurazaka glanced at the [Kuriboh] in his hand, which could absorb one instance of battle damage for him, and a smug expression appeared on his lips.

Let's say this round is advantageous for you, Yusei...
