Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

The aftershocks also dealt 1500 points of damage to Abidas III.

"...Gu!"

(Abidas III LP: 4000→2500)

Having taken the piercing damage from the Winged Warrior head-on, Abidas III couldn't help but let out a painful groan.

As the Pharaoh, this was perhaps the first time he had ever suffered such immense harm.

"My turn is over!" Having successfully dealt a significant amount of damage to Abidas III, Jaden Yuki lowered his arm with satisfaction, ending his turn.

The Winged Warrior's attack power also dropped to 1000 points.

"Hmph...! At the very moment the turn ends, based on the effect of [First Coffin], I activate [Second Coffin] from my deck!"

394 people still have a strong craving for vegetables.

Because he was wearing a mask, no one knew what Abidas III was thinking at that moment.

But clearly, after suffering a near-direct attack, he certainly wouldn't feel good inside...

After activating the Continuous Spell Card "Second Coffin" by inserting it into the Duel Disk using the effect of the Continuous Trap Card "First Coffin," he muttered to himself, "...Just one more! Just one more coffin, and your fate will be over!"

You dare to inflict such great harm upon me, Ten-generation Yuki! You have such audacity!

I suppose... you've already resigned yourself to death!

"How terrifying...how terrifying~~~" Daitokuji-sensei, who was holding Pharaoh, felt the terrifying aura emanating from Abidas III and couldn't help but tremble as he stared at the scene in fear.

However, in Yusei's eyes, his behavior seemed a bit pretentious.

It is indeed terrifying, but it's not that exaggerated, is it?

Daitokuji-sensei, don't you feel awkward performing a one-man show?

"It's my turn, draw a card!"

After making his boastful remarks, Abidas III composed himself, drew a new card from his deck, and inserted it into the back row of the Duel Disk: "...Activate the Spell Card [Pot of Greed]. With this card's effect, I can draw two cards from my deck!"

The familiar Jar of Chronos appeared before everyone, bringing two new cards to Abydas III.

Yuki Judai: "..."

Adding two cards to his hand, Abidas III pointed to the card opposite him, the one that had previously damaged him, and roared, "...Next, I activate the spell card 'Beckoning to the Dead' from my hand! Discard one of my cards to destroy Winged Warrior (ATK 1000) on your field!"

As the magic card was activated, a circle of brown mud suddenly appeared beneath the Winged Warrior.

Two withered arms wrapped in bandages emerged from the mud.

The Winged Warrior, who was floating slightly in mid-air with his arms crossed, was dragged into the swamp and sent to the graveyard by this sudden arm.

"Ugh... Wasteful Man (a transliteration of the Winged Warrior)!"

The monster was destroyed, creating smoke from the explosion. Jaden Yuki instinctively raised his arm to shield his eyes, assuming a defensive stance.

Although it was his monster that was destroyed, the result of trading one for two makes him the one who profited.

"Ah this..."

Seeing Abidas III's mesmerizing actions, Yusei couldn't help but open his mouth.

Excuse me?

Is it really necessary to deliberately destroy a Winged Warrior with an attack power of 1000 in such a costly way?

If you just pull out any monster with an attack power of 1000 or more, wouldn't that easily solve the problem? Not only could you destroy the monster, but you could also damage Jaden Yuki, right?

Abidas III, what the hell are you thinking?

It's so confusing...

"Hmph! The monster protecting you has been destroyed. Now, it's my turn..."

Seemingly oblivious to the fact that his actions had resulted in the destruction of the Winged Warrior, Abydas III wore a satisfied expression: "My attack-enabled [Pharaoh's Servant] (Undead/Dark/2-star/Attack 900/Defense 0)!"

A normal monster with the same attributes and similar appearance as the previous "Royal Guardian" appeared before Abydas III, accompanied by a beam of light.

Those were the spirits of servants who had once served the Pharaoh, possessing unwavering loyalty.

"Another Normal Monster with an attack power of 900... I feel like this Pharaoh is a bit weak... He's not the dueling god I imagined."

The crowd, who had just been in awe of Abidas III, couldn't help but voice their doubts as they watched the situation unfold.

This might be Atum's former Pharaoh. He certainly had a high-class entrance, but his card-playing skills were just so bad.

"Attack! [Pharaoh's Servant] has launched a direct attack!"

Raising his spear, the servant, acting on Abydas III's orders, thrust the spear directly at Jaden Yuki, taking away 900 of his health points.

(Yujo Judai LP: 4000 → 3100)

"……How about it?"

Having finished his attack, Abidas III quietly asked Jaden Yuki a question.

After enduring that attack, can you still maintain that calm and collected attitude?

"Hehehe... I'm still far from it! No problem at all!" Wiping his mouth, Jaden Yuki's face showed a defiant look.

"Ha...you can only say things like that now!" With a cold snort, Abidas III set one of his cards face down in the back row: "Set up a card, end turn."

"It's my turn, draw a card!"

Seeing that Abidas III had ended his turn, Jaden Yuki quickly drew a card from his deck: "Here it comes! I activate the Spell Card [E-Emergency Call] from my hand! I add one [Elemental HERO] monster from my deck to my hand!"

Jaden Yuki drew his deck from the Duel Disk and added a monster card from his deck to his hand: "The monster I choose is—[Elemental HERO Wilder]!"

"Search monster... what exactly are you planning to do?"

Abidas III frowned and raised his question.

His card-playing mindset hasn't changed in three thousand years, so he completely doesn't understand what fusion is, let alone what comes after that: homophony, xyscaling, pendulum, and connection...

"Hehe...you'll find out soon enough!"

With a mysterious smile, Jaden Yuki slammed one of his cards into the Duel Disk: "Now that I have all the materials, I activate the Spell Card 'Dark Fusion'! Banish the Fusion Material Monsters listed on a Fusion Monster Card from my hand and Graveyard, and Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster that can only be Special Summoned by the effect of 'Dark Fusion' from my Extra Deck as a 'Dark Fusion' Fusion Summon."

"...Fusion summoning? What's that? I've never heard of such a summoning method before."

Gazing at the dark vortex that appeared on the field, Abidas III's brows, hidden beneath his mask, furrowed tightly.

This unexpected summoning had a profound impact on his values.

"Dark Fusion? No... it's Dark Divine Summoning! Does Jaden also have an evil hero?" The onlookers couldn't help but exclaim in surprise as they watched Jaden activate his magic card.

"Was the card retrieved from that well?"

Recalling his previous experiences, Wan Zhangmu's face showed a look of sudden realization.

That adventure to find the cards wasn't just for him; Yusei and Jaden Yuki also gained new powers.

Yusei's side has a bunch of cards including [Shining No.0 Hope of the Heat], while Jaden Yuki has gained a brand new power - [Evil Hero].

Originally, the "Evil Heroes" series was a deck that appeared later in the series after Jaden Yuki sacrificed his companions to obtain "Super Polymerization." However, when he was freed from his corrupted state and merged with Yubel to become Yasuo Yuki, "Evil Heroes" reverted to "Elemental HERO" and never appeared in the main story again...

At this time, Jaden Yuki, ahead of Ultraman, seized the evil power of the Overlord!

"...I will banish [Elemental HERO Wilder] from my hand and [Elemental HERO Winged Warrior] from my graveyard to perform Dark Fusion!"

Driven by the domineering power buried deep within his heart, Jaden Yuki, gazing at the dark vortex, raised his arm and shouted: "Come! [Evil Hero Wild Fuma]!"

The corrupted form of Elemental Hero Wild Wingman – Evil Hero Wild Wind Demon – appeared above the golden ship amidst a black storm.

That demon-type monster, which combines the physical features of two elemental heroes and is further enhanced, possesses an extraordinary and powerful aura!

"Battle has begun! [Evil Hero Wild Wind Demon] attacks [Pharaoh's Servant]! — Cyclone Slash!!!"

Jaden Yuki, his eyes turning golden, waved his arms and gave the order to attack the Wild Fuma.

The Wild Wind Demon, following the command, flapped its bat wings, creating a vast gust of wind that shredded the ancient undead.

Abidas III: "Ugh...!"

(Abidas III LP: 2500→1500)

"Heh... [Evil Hero Wild Wind Demon] When attacking, the opponent cannot activate Spell/Trap Cards until the end of the Damage Step... Abyss III is probably going to cry his eyes out right now!"

Yusei, arms crossed, watched Jaden Yuki's actions and offered his opinion.

Having also possessed this monster, he was clearly very aware of its abilities.

"Huh? But the Wild Wind Demon's attack power is only 1900... Even if the monster is destroyed, Abyss III should only suffer 1000 points of damage from the difference, right?"

Upon hearing this, Asuka asked Yusei, "Could it be that Wild Fuma has other effects?"

“That’s right…” Yusei nodded firmly, then smiled and pointed towards the dueling arena: “Jaden will tell us the answer soon.”

"Your Majesty! You just said you wanted to collect three coffins, right?" Jaden Yuki, now in a composed posture, the golden light in his eyes disappearing and returning to his original appearance, asked Abydas III for confirmation.

"That's right! By the end of your round, I'll have collected the final coffin!" Abidas III said bitterly, making a "I want them all" gesture. "Next round, it will be my victory!"

"Hehe...that makes things easier! I'll just stop you from collecting all these cards, won't I?"

"...Nani?"
