Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

Because of the Equip Spell Card "Underdog Jewelry", Yusei can trigger its effect whenever he attacks "Evil Token" with a high-level monster, causing "Evil Token's" ATK to skyrocket during the Battle Phase.

Therefore, at this time, the best target should be the [Yoyo] whose attack status has returned to 300 points.

Mogi has 2400 HP left, which means that as long as I summon a monster with an attack power of 2700 or higher, it will be a victory for me...

Just fuse any monster...

"Ambush Card activated - Continuous Trap Card [Fusion Forbidden Zone]! As long as this card is on the field, neither player can perform a Fusion Summon!"

Just as Yusei was about to deliver a devastating blow to Mogi, Mogi surprised him with a huge surprise.

"...【Fusion Forbidden Area】?!" Upon seeing the densely activated Trap Card, Jaden Yuki couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his brow.

Does everyone in the world know that to beat a hero deck, you have to disable Fusion first?

"Hehe... How about it, Yusei? This is the big gift I prepared for you..." Playing with his fingers, Mogi's sleepy face showed a rare look of pride: "...Do you like this gift?"

"...Well done, Mogi!"

Professor Chronos, his face beaming with joy and his heart overflowing with excitement, wished he could rush to Mogi, hug him, and give him a big kiss.

What Manjoume, what Misawa... they're all a bunch of useless, worthless little brothers!

He can't even beat Jaden Yuki! (Although he himself can't beat him either...)

When it comes to playing cards, only my old master Mogi can do it!

As expected of a troubled youth who once caused a major incident, he certainly lived up to my expectations!

Hehehe...

The red Osiris are finally doomed!

"Yusei, what do you plan to do?"

Looking at the powerful stickers on Mogi Field, Jaden Yuki couldn't help but ask worriedly.

"Heh...you sealed the fusion, huh...?"

Seeing Mogi and Professor Chronos's performance, Yusei did not show any despair. Instead, under their gaze, he slowly curled the corners of his mouth.

If you're going to target integration, why can't I counter it?

Besides, who told you that all I can do is fuse?

"I activate the effect of [Secret Spinner - Flower Prince] in my hand, declare the type of the top card of my opponent's deck (Spell, Trap, Monster). If it is correct, I can Special Summon this card and then destroy one Spell/Trap card on my opponent's field."

The [Secret Spinning Disc - Flower Prince], which shone brightly in the previous duel with Misawa Daichi, has reappeared in Yusei's hands.

"It's that damned monster card..."

Recalling the scene when Misawa Daichi was defeated by Yusei, Professor Chronos couldn't help but clench his fists.

It was because of this monster that the seal on the Misawa lands failed, allowing Yusei to run rampant like a wild horse...

Is it possible that the same scene will repeat itself now?

No! This is my last hope!

Oh my god~~~~ Stop it!!!

"But the declaration has to be correct first..."

Upon hearing Yusei's explanation, Mogi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and forced himself to remain calm as he spoke.

"I declare...emmm..."

After glancing at Mogi's field and thinking for a moment, Yusei immediately spoke up: "—Monster Card!"

"A monster card? It's going to be this easy... Huh?! It really is a monster card?" Upon hearing Yusei's declaration, Mogi, who was smiling as he flipped over the top card of his deck, was stunned for a moment. His previously sleepy eyes widened suddenly.

The card that was flipped over was a Level 2 Normal Monster – [Mushroom Man].

In other words, [Secret Spinner - Flower Prince] will be Special Summoned from Yusei's hand due to its own effect, and then destroy the [Fusion Forbidden Area] that seals off Fusion...

"—Great!" Upon seeing this scene, Jaden Yuki couldn't help but raise his fist and shout.

"If the second effect of [Mystic Disc - Flower Prince] is activated, and this card is Special Summoned by the effect of [Mystic Disc], you can target 1 Spell/Trap Card on your opponent's field; destroy that card."

Yusei placed the monster card in his hand onto the Duel Disk, then stretched out his arm and activated the monster effect of Flower Prince: "What I choose to destroy is, of course, [Fusion Forbidden Area]!"

As before, a black helicopter suddenly appeared overhead.

Then, a long rope ladder was dropped from the helicopter.

A blond youth with a wicked grin, spiky hair, and an arrogant demeanor, holding a suitcase in one hand and a rope ladder in the other, leaped down and landed right in front of Yusei.

The instant he landed, the playboy suddenly pulled out a pistol and fired at the [Forbidden Fusion Zone] in front of Mogi...

"Don't even think about succeeding! At this moment, I activate another Ambush Card in the back row, the Trap Card [Skill Imprisonment]!" Facing the incoming bullets, Mogi, who had already activated his face-down card beforehand, slowly curled a smile at the corner of his mouth.

-

[Skill Imprisonment]

(Trap Card)

Effect: You can activate this effect by selecting 1 card on your field.

This turn, negate the monster effects activated by targeting the selected card.

Furthermore, you can banish this card from your Graveyard, then target 1 card on your field to activate this effect. This turn, negate the monster effects activated by targeting the targeted card. This effect cannot be activated the turn this card is sent to the Graveyard.

-

The bullets fired by 【Secret Spinning Disc - Playboy】are blocked by an invisible wall the moment they touch the 【Fusion Forbidden Zone】, unable to penetrate any further.

After a brief stalemate, the bullet seemed to be caught by a giant hand, lost its momentum, fell to the ground, and then turned into particles of light and disappeared from the field.

Yusei: "...So there really are protective measures in place?"

"What...? Why wasn't the [Forbidden Fusion Area] destroyed? The effect of [Secret Spin Disc - Flower Prince] was clearly activated!" Looking at the strange scene before him, Jaden Yuki was somewhat bewildered.

"Hmph! A bad student is a bad student... They don't even know this much!" Professor Chronos snorted at Jaden Yuki's question, then explained, "Because of the Trap Card [Skill Imprisonment], all monster effects targeting [Fusion Forbidden Area] will be negated this turn... Although the effect of [Secret Spin - Flower Prince] has already been activated, according to the reverse chain resolution principle, this effect activated on C1 will be negated by [Skill Imprisonment] on C2..."

"Speaking of which... this was all covered in class, didn't you listen at all? Look!"

Professor Chronos, seemingly realizing something, looked at the bewildered Jaden Yuki with a scrutinizing gaze.

Jaden Yuki, that kid, has a pretty good track record in actual combat, but his theoretical knowledge is a complete mess!

"Uh……"

Jaden Yuki, who usually sleeps in class, shuts up and hides behind Yusei when Professor Chronos questions him.

"Alright... Fusion Summoning is prohibited. With only two low-level monsters, what can you do, Yusei?"

With his hands on his hips and still looking sleepy, Mogi chuckled, "Your highest attack monster on the field right now is [Secret Spinner - Flower Prince] with 1900 attack. Even if you use it to attack my lowest attack monster on the field, [Yuyu] (300 attack), it can only deal a maximum of 1600 damage to me... Next turn, I'll..."

Yusei: "...You don't have a next turn!"

Motegi: "...Nani?"

Waving his hand to interrupt Mogi's speech, Yusei immediately said, "...The battle will end in this round!"

"No fusion? What else can you do?" Scratching his head and pondering Yusei's plans, Mogi couldn't help but ask a question.

Could it be that Yusei has other trump cards up his sleeve? ...Did I overlook something?

Mogi: Scratching his head with both hands.jpg

"...Watch closely, this is my duel!"

With a golden light seemingly dancing in his eyes, Yusei slowly raised his arm.

As he moved, a black vortex slowly appeared in front of him and Mogi.

"I will construct a superimposed network (Obari) with the two monsters, [Wa Wa Wa Guardian] and [Secret Spinner - Playboy], to perform an Xyz Summon!"

Mogi & Professor Chronos: "...What??? Xyz Summoning?"

As Yusei's shout faded, the two monsters in front of him instantly transformed into two beams of light of different colors, and then quickly plunged into the vortex in front of him.

-

I'm in good spirits today, so I'm giving away the bonus chapter ahead of schedule!

310 Auntie clasps her hands, let's eat mud together!

As the two streams of light transformed from [I Guardian] and [Secret Spin Disc - Flower Prince] poured in, a dazzling white light suddenly burst forth from the constantly rotating black vortex, shooting straight into the sky!

"Auntie, let's clap our hands and eat mud together! (Let's become one now!)"

Reflecting the shocked expressions of Mogi and Professor Chronos in his eyes, Yusei raised his finger high towards the sky: "Descent, cloaked in light! Dazzling king who pierces the darkness!"

"Xyz Summon! Rank 4 - [Heroic Champion - Steelbreaker King] (Warrior/Light/4-Star/ATK 2000/DEF 2000)!"

Golden sword light pierced the sky.

The king, clad in red armor, swung his longsword with one hand, slowly revealing his majestic figure amidst the soaring white light.

Two golden orbs of light, like satellites of a planet, continuously circled around the Broken Steel Sword King.

Heroic Champion - Broken Steel Sword King, Attack Power 2000

"An Xyz Monster with an attack power of 2000...?"

After rubbing his eyes and confirming that he hadn't misread anything, Mogi looked at Yusei with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

With an attack power of 2000, it's 100 points higher than the [Secret Whirlwind Disc - Playboy]...

You were just saying I didn't have a next turn, and after all this time, you summoned this thing?

I still have 2400 points in my life!

How do you plan to cut it all down? Yusei.

"Hohoho~~~ You scared me! I thought some powerful monster was coming~~~ But it's just a guy with an attack power of 2000!"

Professor Chronos, who had been startled by the dazzling summoning effect, patted his chest with relief when he looked at the Broken Steel Sword King.

If it's only this bad, then there's nothing to worry about!

"Heh... The original attack power of the Broken Steel Sword King was only 2000 points, but..."

At this point, Yusei changed the subject and continued, "...I activate his effect once per turn: I can detach 2 Xyz Materials from this card to activate this effect. This card's ATK becomes double its original ATK until the next End Phase of your opponent's game."
