Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

Rather, she actually felt somewhat pleased?

The more difficult an object is to conquer, the more it will arouse her competitive spirit.

"Could Camilla be a masochist...?"

Seeing Camilla being treated coldly by Caesar, yet still not angry, but rather somewhat excited (?), Yusei couldn't help but voice his doubts.

To be honest, before this, he had a certain interest in this vampire noblewoman among the Seven Stars, and was thinking about whether he should take her as his own little ball of fluff.

However, after seeing her ferocious facial expressions and her wicked personality, Yusei... decisively abandoned the plan.

Hmm... let's leave it for someone who's meant to have it.

Miss Yui, Ria, I-I-I Girl, Asuka... Aren't these top-notch beauties appealing?

In addition, there is also the mature older sister, the school doctor and dormitory manager of the Obelisk Blue Girls' Dormitory, Ms. Ayukawa Megumi, and Asuka's two beautiful best friends, Junko and Momoe!

Honestly, when it comes to women, Yusei has no shortage of them...

"duel!"

"……duel!"

(Camula LP: 4000)

(Ryo Marufuji (Kaiser) LP: 4000)

Just as Yusei's consciousness was wandering elsewhere, the duel between Caesar and Camilla had officially begun.

Without needing many words, Caesar, filled with determination, only wanted to end this duel, which was essentially a foregone conclusion, as soon as possible and rescue Professor Chronos, who had been turned into a puppet.

"I'll attack first, draw a card!"

Camilla, who took the first turn, placed one of her cards horizontally on the Duel Disk: "...I summon [Vampire Girl] (Defense 1550) in Defense Position!"

A female vampire, dressed in a long purple dress, with fleshy wings on the inside of her arms and blue skin and hair, appeared in front of Camilla while crouching.

"Next, I'll place a card on the field. End of turn."

After summoning a new monster to act as a meat shield to protect himself, Camilla set a card face-down and waved to end his turn.

Overall, the performance was mediocre, without any explosive developments or malicious actions like taking the initiative to block five targets.

Facing a formidable enemy like Caesar, Camilla... seems oblivious to the impending crisis he faces...

"Hehehe... Camilla is finished!"

Jaden Yuki, who had previously fallen to the torrent of light and flame from the [Cyber ​​End Dragon], couldn't help but feel a deep pity in his gaze as he looked at Camilla.

This duel has only just begun, but it will be over soon.

because……

That man named Caesar is furious!

"My turn, draw a card!"

Determination transformed into unwavering will. Caesar abruptly drew a card from the top of his deck, then, without even glancing at it, slammed it directly onto the Duel Disk: "...I activate the Spell Card [Power Bond] from my hand!"

"...Power combination?" Camilla was taken aback upon hearing the card's name.

"This card is a Fusion Spell Card for Machine-Type monsters... Monsters Fusion Summoned using this card will have their ATK doubled."

After a slight pause, Caesar pulled out three more cards from his hand: "I will use the effect of this spell card to fuse the three Cyber ​​Dragons (ATK 2100) in my hand!"

Without showing his inner rage, Caesar maintained a calm expression as he called out the name of his old friend: "Come forth—Electronic Terminator Dragon!!!"

With Caesar's shout, the three electronic dragons merged into one amidst the lightning, transforming into a completely new being.

Its silvery-white body, gleaming with a cold light, accompanied by a dazzling white radiance, swept through every corner of the dark hall in an instant, banishing all darkness to the distance.

After that, a pair of fluorescent white wings spread out in the void. Its entire body was forged from steel, and its appearance was more like a feathered serpent than a dragon. It had three heads of different shapes and slowly descended in front of Caesar.

348 As sweet as honey

"As expected... Caesar, like President Kaiba, doesn't shuffle the cards... and are all the fusion cards glued together?"

Watching Caesar perform a classic four-for-one exchange and hand-to-hand electronic finishing move for everyone present, Yusei, who was standing aside with his arms crossed, waiting to see the show, suddenly had a strong urge to complain.

Even Camus, Caesar's rival, couldn't help but pause for a moment, his expression momentarily stunned.

Referee! I want to report someone for fighting without shuffling the cards!

What...? You're saying the person who doesn't shuffle the cards is my teammate?

Emmm...

That's okay...

……

Caesar: "Due to the effect of [Power Combination], the attack power of [Electronic Terminator Dragon] will increase by its original value, meaning the value will be doubled!"

【Electronic Terminator Dragon】(Attack Power: 4000→8000)

Bathed in the fused white light, the Electronic Terminator Dragon's body grew a full size larger, signifying that its attack power was now on par with two Colossus warriors.

"Caesar... he actually summoned the strongest monster right from the start?"

"My brother is usually so calm, always maintaining a forward-looking strategy, using his strongest duel to achieve victory... But today, he is so sharp and unrestrained..."

"His attack power is as high as 8000... He really doesn't intend to show any mercy at all!"

"It seems... Caesar has already won this duel!"

"...No matter what, Caesar Ryo is a sure winner in this round!"

Regarding the current situation, everyone expressed their own opinions and views.

In their view, Camilla was no match for Kaiser Ryo, who had summoned his ace monster at this moment.

The [Electronic Terminator Dragon], with an attack power of 8000, also possesses the ability to penetrate defense.

Therefore, the monsters in defense position on Camus's field are completely unable to function as tanks.

After the attack, Camilla will also suffer massive penetrating damage, losing the dark duel and being consumed by her own curse, turning into a comical puppet like Professor Chronos...

"【Electronic Terminator Dragon】...its attack power is only 8000 points?!"

Completely enveloped by the oppressive aura of the Electronic Terminator Dragon, Camilla seemed to sense, for a moment, a deathly aura rushing towards her at close range.

Camilla, whose throat was being choked by the oppressive force, instinctively tried to back away.

However, at this moment, the dark artifact around her neck suddenly burst into light, dispelling her negative thoughts and pulling Camilla back to her senses.

"Gu...!"

Camilla, recovering from her initial panic, couldn't help but show a frosty expression of anger on her face after realizing her change in mindset.

I, Camilla... a noblewoman of the Seven Stars!

How could they be afraid of a student who hasn't even graduated yet?!

How can this be?

How can this be allowed?

...Unforgivable, Caesar!

"...Using [Power Combination] also comes with huge risks. Is it really okay to act so impulsively?"

"At the end of the round, you will take 4000 damage from the increased attack power of [Electronic Terminator Dragon]!"

Camilla glanced at his Geka, and a slight smile crept onto his lips.

Although I was startled by the appearance of the [Cyber ​​Terminator Dragon], it's alright now.

After all... before the duel, she had already instructed her familiars to gather information about the key holder, making sure they knew the opponent's tactics and card information.

Therefore, she was fully prepared for the attack from the [Electronic Terminator Dragon].

Come on! The moment you attack will be the moment I activate my trap card!

Then... I will be reborn, while you will destroy yourself because of the effect of the card you activated!

"Don't worry about what you call the final stage..."

Clenching his teeth, Caesar's face was filled with rage towards Camilla: "If you ask why, it's because the duel is about to end!"

"【Electronic Terminator Dragon】Attack 【Vampire Girl】!"

"—Eternal Evolutionary Flame!"

Facing Camilla, Caesar raised his arm and swung his fist of vengeance.

Upon receiving the command, the Electronic Terminator Dragon roared to the sky with its three heads, and a golden energy wave carrying a strong aura of destruction gathered in its mouth.

After that, the three energy waves that were ejected spun and intertwined in mid-air, transforming into a huge golden energy torrent, accompanied by a fierce storm, and rushed towards the location of the [Vampire Girl]!

The intense fluctuations left no doubt that Camilla would soon be carried by this torrent of energy into the depths of the underworld.

"Don't try to succeed!"

Facing the oncoming torrent of light and flame, Camilla raised his arm and opened the face-down card in front of him: "Ambush card activated! I activate the trap card—[Suspicious Red Moon]!"

The image on the flipped-over trap card depicts a stairway through the night sky leading to the moon.

However, the red moon that marks the end of the road bears the image of a human face with a strange smile.

No matter how you look at it, it's an incredibly strange card.

Caesar: "...!"

Yusei: "As expected... it won't end so easily, will it?"

"The effect of this card is to discard one Zombie monster from your hand to convert the attacking monster's ATK into my Life Points and end the Battle Phase."

Camilla sent the Undead Werewolf from her hand to the graveyard, adopting a relaxed posture of anticipation.

The Electronic Terminator Dragon's attack power is currently 8000, which means that her health will also increase by 8000 points.

Furthermore, after that, Caesar, whose battle rank was forcibly ended, will suffer up to 4000 points of effect damage due to the side effects of [Power Combination]!

With just one trap card, he not only resolved the immediate crisis but also gained a huge amount of life.
