Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

"However, Camilla doesn't seem to be too panicked..."

Yusei glanced at Camilla on the other side of the platform and frowned.

Logically, Camilla should have been wearing an expression of uncontrollable shock at this moment.

However... she maintained a relatively calm demeanor.

It was as if... she had known in advance that this would happen.

what is going on?

Did someone leak our intelligence beforehand?

If that's the case... then what's the purpose?

Tsk... I can't understand it...

With these questions in mind, Yusei turned his attention back to the dueling arena.

In any case, it's time for Caesar to put on his show.

"On my turn, I activate Pot of Greed and draw two cards from my deck."

Drawing a card, confirming, activating... all done in one smooth motion.

The green Jar of Chronos has a ring of golden ripples appearing on its surface.

As Caesar drew two cards from his deck thanks to the effect of a magic card, a slow smile crept onto his lips.

It seems he drew the card he wanted.

"I summon [Cyber ​​Dragon Core] in Attack Position and activate its effect. When the summon is successful, add one [Cyber] or [Cyber ​​Tech] Spell/Trap Card from my Deck to my hand."

"The card I chose to add to my hand is the trap card—[Cyber ​​Overflow]."

Composed of numerous small mechanical spheres, a miniature electronic dragon with several red veins extending from its red power source on its chest floated beside Caesar, carrying a trap card with a pink border, seemingly intending to hand the card to him.

"Thanks for your hard work……"

Caesar, having received the card from [Cyber ​​Dragon Core], looked up at Camilla: "While [Cyber ​​Dragon Core] is on the field or in the graveyard, its card name can also be used as [Cyber ​​Dragon]..."

"Next, I will activate the second effect of [Cyber ​​Dragon Nova], which will exclude the [Cyber ​​Dragon Core] that is considered [Cyber ​​Dragon], thereby increasing its attack power by 2100 points!"

(【Electronic Dragon - Nova】 Attack Power: 2100→4200)

Camilla: "What... [Cyber ​​Dragon Nova]'s attack power has actually become 4200?!"

Camilla, who had been calm and composed just moments before, underwent a noticeable change in expression.

An electronic dragon whose attack power surpasses that of a god...

This is completely incomparable to the previous situation.

"...It's not over yet! My story isn't finished!"

Seeing Camilla's surprised expression, Caesar continued, "I will activate the first effect of [Cyber ​​Dragon Nova] again, sending the [Cyber ​​Dragon] used as its Xyz Material to the Graveyard to Special Summon a [Cyber ​​Dragon] from the Graveyard!"

"...Rise, Sebadorgon (Cyber ​​Dragon)!"

The [Electronic Dragon], whose body was made of silver-white steel, revived from the graveyard accompanied by the red glow of a new star.

This gives Caesar three Cyber ​​Dragon monsters on his field.

These are [Cyber ​​Dragon Nova] with an attack power of 4200, [Cyber ​​Barrier Dragon] with an attack power of 800, and [Cyber ​​Dragon] with an attack power of 2100.

Camilla's field only has the [Vampire Creator] with 3000 attack power, and no face-down cards.

Clearly, after this offensive, Caesar will be victorious.

Even without the [Electronic Terminator Dragon], Caesar's offensive was still incredibly swift and fierce.

In a duel with him, the slightest carelessness could lead to defeat.

"...The battle has begun!"

Once deployed, Caesar waved his hand, entering the battle phase. Facing Camilla, he unhesitatingly issued the attack command: "[Cyber ​​Dragon Nova] Attack [Vampire Creator] - Next Generation Evolution Light!"

The power reactor located on the new star's chest began to beat violently, much like a human heart.

Along with this change, a deep blue laser beam began to gather in its mouth.

"Roar……!!!"

Seemingly sensing the approaching danger, the [Vampire Creator] instinctively spread the fleshy membrane on its back, protecting its chest.

However, all efforts were in vain. The moment it was ready, the laser from [Electronic Dragon Nova], with its unparalleled power, pierced through it in one fell swoop!

Camilla, who was behind it, was also sent flying by the impact of the attack.

"……Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

Camilla's body slammed violently against the wall behind him, and a clear look of pain appeared on his face.

Even vampires with extremely strong physical abilities cannot escape unscathed from the impact of this wave of light!

(Camula LP: 4000→2800)

"Next, Electronic Barrier Dragon, attack directly!"

With a cold, expressionless face, Caesar gave the order to continue the attack without hesitation: "--Evolve Reflective Light!"

"...Ughhhhhh!!!"

Camilla, who had just stood up, was then struck by the blue light wave from the [Electronic Barrier Dragon] and knelt down again, about to collapse on the platform.

(Camula LP: 2800→2000)

"Yosh! Camilla has 2000 life points left, and Caesar still has a Cyber ​​Dragon with 2100 attack power that hasn't attacked yet... This means Caesar wins!"

"Caesar is really amazing!"

"It looks like the second Seven Star King can be dealt with without a scratch!"

"Professor Chronos... is saved!"

Just as everyone was excitedly discussing Caesar's impending victory and harboring endless fantasies, Camilla, driven to the brink of despair, suddenly lowered his head and let out a series of eerie laughs.

"Hehehehehe..."

"Hahahahahaha..."

"Ughhhh... Caesar!!! Look what you've done!!!"

Kneeling on the high platform, Camilla, with her head raised, wore an incredibly ferocious facial expression.

His pupils were wide open, his mouth was cracked, and veins were bulging on his body, exuding a ruthless aura that kept people at bay.

If she could be considered an elegant noblewoman before, then Camilla now is undoubtedly a non-human being who treats humans as playthings.

Both her appearance and personality have undergone earth-shattering changes.

"This is... a second transformation???"

Seeing Camilla's change, Yusei made a somewhat uncertain guess.

As we all know, in various RPG games, when a BOSS's health drops to a certain value, it will activate a second or even a third transformation.

It's not incomprehensible that a fantastical creature like Camilla could transform into a burst of energy when enraged.

only……

What does she plan to do?

Are you planning to print cards on the spot and break the duel rules?

"..."

As Camilla stared at him with hatred, a hint of displeasure flashed across Caesar's face: "This is the final moment. [Cyber ​​Dragon], attack Camilla directly—Evolutionary Flame!"

Whether it's a burst of energy or a second transformation!

In any case, Camilla could not change the inevitable defeat that lay before him.

I won this dark duel filled with sorrow and anger!

Caesar couldn't help but think this.

"The effect of 'Vampire Heiress' in my hand is activated! Special Summon it when a monster declares an attack!" Facing the incoming flames, Camilla in her performance mode slammed one of her cards onto the Duel Disk.

Then, a full moon suddenly appeared in the center of the hall.

Beneath the full moon is a staircase suspended in mid-air.

Holding a black parasol and sporting a pair of small black wings, a blonde girl with a somewhat languid expression walked slowly down the steps while yawning. She then gracefully placed her hand in front of the electronic dragon.

[Vampire Heiress] Attack 600 / Defense 2000

"...Special Summon from my hand? But why is it in Attack Position?"

Because the number of monsters on the field changed, Cyber ​​Dragon's attack was also reversed, and the flames automatically dissipated in mid-air just before they touched Camilla.

Next, Caesar can choose to let the [Electronic Dragon] continue attacking, or he can cancel its attack declaration.

"The vampire heiress... is that the monster that Ria used before?"

Looking at the blonde young lady who appeared in front of Camilla, Yusei couldn't help but recall the image of that silver-haired little girl.

I haven't seen her for months; I wonder how she's doing now.

Did she become stronger after losing to herself?

Unlike Yusei, who is a transmigrator, Ria Amamiya is a true native, without any external influences.

Even so, she possesses strength comparable to professional duelists, making her an undisputed genius!

Yusei had no doubt that she possessed the aptitude and strength to become the Duel King.

Given time, she might even become a legendary duelist who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Yugi Muto and Seto Kaiba!

……

"...【Vampire Heiress】? No matter what kind of monster it is, I have no intention of giving up the attack! The battle continues!" Caesar had never seen the monster 【Vampire Heiress】 before, so naturally he didn't know what its effects were.

Faced with the attack, Caesar hesitated briefly before deciding to continue his attack.

"Hehehe... This is the moment I've been waiting for!"
