Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

Yusei drew a card from his deck. He looked at the card and saw that it was a field spell called "Rampage Magic Circle".

This is the [Summoning Beasts] deck that Yusei previously added to the Hero deck, which can basically cooperate with various decks.

The moment Yusei saw the card, he had already planned out his next strategy.

"I activate the Field Spell [Rampage Magic Circle] from my hand!" Yusei raised his Duel Disk in his left hand and placed the Field Spell into the designated area of ​​the Duel Disk to activate it.

"Buzz buzz buzz buzz~~~"

A circular red magic circle appeared in the center of the field, then slowly expanded as it rotated, gradually covering the entire field and enveloping Yusei, Manjoume, and the cards on his field.

Red mist began to rise from the area covered by the magic circle.

The [Regenerated Zombie] infected by the fog trembled instinctively, seemingly under immense pressure.

"What is this?" Manjoume looked at the red mist surrounding them and the red magic circle with mysterious runes under his feet, and asked Yusei with some doubt.

"Huh... Does Elemental HERO have this Field Spell?" Jaden Yuki scratched his head, a puzzled look on his face.

"If only Misawa Daichi were here at this moment..." Marufuji Sho began to reminisce about this erudite "human card checker".

"Oh right, the equipment the school provided seems to have a card lookup function. I'll go look for it."

"It's no use, I've already checked, this card isn't in the database..."

Wan Zhangmu's henchman A adjusted his glasses, remembering that the card could be searched through an electronic manual. Just as he was about to do so, his henchman B said that he had already checked and found no relevant information.

"How could there be a card that can't be found?"

"Could it be that this [Rampage Magic Circle] is a card that isn't even recorded in Kaiba Corporation's database?"

Upon hearing his follower's words, Manjoume's face showed a shocked expression.

"I activate the effect of the Field Spell [Rampage Magic Circle]. When this card is successfully activated, I can add one [Summoner - Aleister] from my Deck to my hand."

Yusei doesn't care what the other side thinks.

He now has a complete process in mind.

"I will Normal Summon [Summoner - Aleister] (Mage/DARK/Level 4/ATK 1000/DEF 1800) that I just added to my hand to the field!"

A handsome and refined young man dressed in white robes, holding a wand and a spellbook in his left and right hands respectively, appeared on the field as Yusei spoke.

Aleister raised his staff with his left hand upwards, and the mysterious magic circle beneath his feet seemed to respond to his action, causing the red mist that filled the arena to intensify.

061 I saw through you, you saw through my tactics

"I activate the effect of [Summoner - Aleister]. When this card is successfully summoned, I can add one Normal Spell Card [Summoning Magic] from my Deck to my hand."

Aleister raised the spellbook in his right hand, and the book opened automatically, then a beam of white light shot out from it, heading towards Yusei's deck.

The deck illuminated by the light automatically ejected a card. Yusei casually added the ejected card to his hand and showed it to Manjoume opposite him, explaining that this card was a [Summoning Magic] added to his hand through Aleister's effect.

"Tsk! This is different from what I heard." Manjou looked at the [Summoner-Aleister] on the field, who was marked as attacking, and couldn't help but click his tongue.

Based on previous investigations, Yusei's ace monster should be "Masked Hero Dark Claw," summoned using the quick-attack spell "Masked Change."

It is said to be a powerful monster capable of sealing off the opponent's graveyard.

The deck that Manjoume was using at this moment was specifically designed to counter this Fusion Monster.

The trap card he has hidden on the field is called "Hell Aggregator". Its effect is that when the opponent successfully Fusion Summons, you can Tribute one of your monsters to gain control of that monster.

His [Regenerated Zombie] in Defense Position on the field is used as a tribute to activate a Trap Card.

Originally, Manjoume planned to become a minotaur on the spot and snatch the monster the moment Yusei summoned Touhou.

However, reality turned out to be contrary to expectations. Yusei's unexpected actions directly disrupted Manjou's plans.

"A mere fodder with an attack power of only 1000 cannot defeat a regenerating zombie with a defense power of 1600. You are not a threat at all."

Looking at the Summoner Aleister, who was attacking on the Starry Sky Arena, Manjoume comforted himself.

"That's not necessarily true!"

"I activate the Spell Card [Fusion]! I use Elemental HERO Electro and Elemental HERO Wingman from my hand as materials to perform a Fusion Summon!"

Yusei sent three cards from his hand, including the [Fusion] Spell Card, to the Graveyard to perform a Fusion Summon.

Jaden Yuki, the card king, silently gave Yusei a thumbs up for his move.

(Yusei's hand size: 6 → 3)

“Using two heroes’ Normal Monsters as materials, could it be that Yusei is planning to summon…” Marufuji Sho watched Yusei’s actions and thought of the hero who had shone brightly in the previous duel.

"Wow~~~ Is the Magnificent Hero coming out?" Judai Yuki exclaimed excitedly, clenching his fist.

Yusei had previously relied on this monster to perform a second Special Summon during the battle phase, thus defeating himself.

"That's exactly what I've been waiting for!"

Manjou looked at his card, a "plan in the bag" expression on his face.

"Hey! Hurry up and fuse to summon a powerful monster!" Thinking of the despair on Yusei's face after he spent a huge price (referring to the classic three-for-one exchange) to fuse and summon a monster, only to have it stolen by him, Manjoume couldn't help but want to burst out laughing.

"as you wish!"

Yusei stretched out his right hand into the void and shouted, "Come forth! Hero of lightning speed!"

"Fusion Summon! Elemental Heroes: Grand Hero!"

A hero clad in golden armor, with enormous wings on his back, his body crackling with lightning, and claws and a gun barrel on each hand, suddenly appeared on the field as a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky.

The magnificent hero waved his enormous wings, crossed his arms, and floated in the air, still displaying that arrogant and domineering attitude.

The moment he appeared, the red smoke in the arena seemed to dissipate considerably.

Manjoume: "!?"

"A monster with 0 attack power? What's going on?"

Manjoume and his two henchmen looked at the imposing and magnificent hero on the field with big question marks on their faces.

"This monster is not as simple as it looks!" Marufuji Sho rarely showed such a tough attitude.

“That’s right! Magnificent Hero has special effects!” Jaden Yuki, the first victim of Magnificent Hero, explained the situation to the three bewildered people opposite him.

"Just keep your eyes wide open and watch carefully!" Yusei said, pointing at the three people opposite him.

A look of surprise flashed across Wan Zhangmu's face, but he quickly realized that this was an excellent opportunity.

"Hehehe... This is the moment I've been waiting for!" Seeing the magnificent monster appear on the field, Manjoume planned to activate his back row face-down card to snatch this cool and imposing monster from Yusei's hands.

Although Manjoume was somewhat puzzled by the monster's zero attack power, he did not believe that the magnificent hero was a weak monster.

The three people opposite also said that this monster named "Magnificent Warrior" has a special effect. Although he doesn't know how special the effect is yet, it's always a good idea to snatch it.

Even if you don't need it yourself, it can still hinder the development of the asteroid.

Manjou's idea was good, but no matter how hard he tried to press the button on the Duel Disk to activate the face-down cards on the field, the Duel Disk did not react at all.

"What's going on?" Manjoume asked, puzzled. Could it be a bug in the Duel Disk?

"The second effect of [Rampage Magic Circle] is that as long as this card is on the field, if an effect that summons a Fusion Monster is activated by itself, the activation of that effect will not be negated."

"And when a Fusion Summon is successful, the opponent cannot activate the effects of Spells, Trap Cards, or Monsters!"

Yusei explained the effects of the field magic to Manjoume.

In other words, as long as the red magic circle under his feet still exists, Manjoume cannot stop Yusei's fusion summon, nor can he activate the back row face-down card when Yusei's fusion summon is successful.

Just as Friend Hero's effect is to seal off the graveyard, [Rampage Magic Circle] seals off all effects that hinder fusion...

Not to mention the [Hell Aggregate] covering the field of Manjoume.

Even with his god-level status, he couldn't activate it at this time...

"Damn it!" Having figured this out, Manjoume could only helplessly and furiously complain about his miscalculation.

Am I going to be defeated here today?

Manjoume thought with a hint of despair.

"Manjoume-san... are you alright?" Follower A asked with some concern, looking at Manjoume in this state.

"It's alright! Manjoume still has a 'Regenerating Zombie' in defense position on the field, and Yusei has already used up his normal summon opportunity this turn. There's no way he can reduce Manjoume's LP to 0 in one turn..."

Follower B said there was no problem and there was no need to panic.

Yusei overheard their conversation, and a black line appeared on his forehead.

Dude, don't you know what it means for a commentator to die?

Your boss might be killed by you two idiots!

Testimonials

I received a message from the editor that this book will be available tomorrow.

I counted on my fingers, and it's been about a month since the book was first published.

This is my first time writing a post about a book's release, and I don't really know what to say... (scratching head)

In short, I would like to thank everyone for their support, which motivates me to continue writing.

……

Then comes the rant/criticism segment.

Before I started writing the book, I originally thought that writing Yu-Gi-Oh! fanfiction would be easy...

However, after actually trying it out, I found that it was not like that at all!

Tactical arrangements, deck building, relationships between characters, plot development, and how the protagonist, as an OCG card master, should act cool and blend seamlessly into the main group without feeling out of place...

These are all things that require time to think about.

……

At last……

Tomorrow at midnight!
