Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

A real duel should indeed be a back-and-forth battle!

“That’s true… Theoretically speaking, with this card, the risk of gambling decks will be halved.” Yusei nodded slightly and shared his thoughts.

It seems that Mizuo's deck is similar to Jonouchi's gambling deck.

Whether or not one can achieve victory largely depends on luck.

"Hehehe... Since I guessed the coin toss correctly, at this moment, I activate the effect of [Gambling Angel Bunny Girl], dealing you 1000 points of damage!"

Pointing in Asuka's direction, Mizuo wore an arrogant smile: "Take this! Gold Coin Rain!"

Upon hearing Mizuo's instruction, the bunny girl immediately leaped upwards, then reached into the air and pulled out a stack of gold coins, which she then threw without hesitation towards Asuka.

And so, the raindrops formed from the gold coins pelted down on Asuka, dealing her 1000 points of damage.

(Asuka LP: 4000→3000)

"Hmm... You're already 1000 points behind in health right from the start?" Asuka sighed as she shielded herself with her right hand, enduring the damage from the falling coins.

411 Long Huiqiao's Emergency Call for Help (5K)

"Hehehe...I've laid a card in ambush, turn over!"

Right from the start, relying on the monster's effect, he successfully dealt 1000 points of damage to Asuka, and a satisfied smile appeared on Mizuo's face.

After sealing one of his cards, he waved to end his turn, handing the initiative over to Asuka.

"My turn, draw a card!"

With a sweeping motion of her right arm, Asuka drew a new card from her deck, bringing her hand to six.

Then, without hesitation, she inserted one of her cards into the back row of the Duel Disk: "My turn! I activate the Spell Card 'Cyber ​​Emergency Call' from my hand! According to this card's effect, I add 1 'Cyber ​​Dragon' monster or a Machine-Type LIGHT monster that cannot be Normal Summoned from my Deck to my hand."

-

Electronic Emergency Call

(Normal Spell Card)

Effect: You can only activate 1 card with this name per turn.

①: Add 1 "Cyber ​​Dragon" monster or a Machine-Type LIGHT monster that cannot be Normal Summoned from your Deck to your hand.

②: If your opponent negates the activation of this card and it is sent to the Graveyard, you can discard 1 card from your hand to activate this effect. Add this card from the Graveyard to your hand.

"...Huh? An electric dragon? Where did Asuka get an electric dragon?"

Seeing Asuka activate her magic card, Jaden Yuki scratched his head, a look of confusion on his face.

If I remember correctly, Cyber ​​Dragon should be a monster exclusive to Kaiser, inherited from the "Cyber ​​Stream" dojo!

Other people should not have these cards.

With this question in mind, Jaden Yuki began searching for Caesar's whereabouts in the arena.

However, unsurprisingly, he did not find Caesar.

"Mizuo...it looks like it's already been sent..."

Upon seeing Asuka activate her magic card, Yusei covered his head.

While others were still wondering what was going on, he had already foreseen the outcome.

Facing Mizuo, a former acquaintance, Asuka showed no intention of holding back and unleashed her ultimate weapon—Dragon Radiance Takumi!

“I don’t have a Cyber ​​Dragon in my deck, but…” Asuka changed the subject, taking a card out of her deck: “Based on the effect of Cyber ​​Emergency Call, I’m adding the Machine-Type LIGHT monster, Dragonfire Takumi-Usopp Alpha, to my hand!”

Yusei: "As expected..."

"Long Huiqiao? What kind of monster is that?"

Unaware of the seriousness of the problem, Mizuo's face was filled with confusion.

The card currently face down on his field is a continuous trap card called "Monster Box," whose effect is similar to the coin toss effect of the Bunny Girl.

If you guess heads or tails, and you guess correctly, the attack power of any monster attacked by the opponent will be reduced to 0 until the end of the battle phase.

Even if he guesses wrong, with the effect of the Continuous Spell Card "Second Chance", Mizuo can choose his fate once again.

No matter what, he didn't think he would lose to Asuka.

"Next, I activate the Spell Card [Super Dragon Shining Takumi] to Special Summon a [Dragon Shining Takumi] monster from my Deck. I choose [Dragon Shining Takumi - Shangbi ζ]. The monster Special Summoned by this effect is destroyed during the End Phase."

【Dragon Glory Clever - Shangbi ζ】(Attack 2000 / Defense 0)

The sixth star in the "Dragon" constellation, Zeta Ussuri, appears as a dragon-humanoid monster clad in crystal blue armor. When a spell card is activated, it shines with golden light and appears above the duel arena.

To accommodate the size of the dueling arena, the size of [Dragon Radiance Technique - Upper ζ] has also been appropriately reduced.

Even so, it still occupies an extremely large area of ​​airspace.

"Activate the effect of [Dragonlight Takumi - Right Pivot α] in your hand, Tribute [Dragonlight Takumi - Upper Pivot ζ] on the field to Special Summon it."

The first star in the constellation Draco, whose appearance is that of a crystal-blue mechanical dragon, Alpha Oskar, descended from the other side of the Milky Way along with a meteor shower, thanks to the power of Zeta Usiris.

It flapped its wings, releasing layers of starlight.

【Dragon Radiance Technique - Right Pivot α】(Attack Power 2000 / Defense Power 0)

α and ζ, the two initial points of Long Huiqiao, converged in Asuka's hands.

After successfully gathering the two monsters, her momentum became unstoppable.

Furthermore, Asuka has not yet performed a normal summon.

"【Dragon's Radiance - Right Pivot α】When I Special Summon a monster using my own effect, I can add 1 Ritual Monster from my Deck to my hand. I choose 【Cyber ​​Angel - Benten-】."

After drawing the Cyber ​​Angel from her deck, Asuka continued, "...Next, I activate the effect of [Dragon's Glow - Upside ζ], which was just released to the graveyard, and release [Cyber ​​Angel - Benten-] from my hand to Special Summon it to the field. Then I search for the Ritual Spell Card [Meteor Glowing Gathering] in my deck."

Sacrifice a ritual monster from your hand, and [Dragonlight Takumi - Uesugi ζ] is revived from the graveyard and comes to the vicinity of [Dragonlight Takumi - Uesugi α].

"At this moment, I activate [Cyber ​​Angel - Benten-]. This effect can only be activated when this card is Tributed. I add 1 Fairy-Type LIGHT monster from my Deck to my hand. I choose to search for a second [Cyber ​​Angel - Benten-].

Mizuo: "So many chains and searches... Tenjōin! What exactly are you trying to do?"

"Well... you'll find out soon enough."

With a mysterious smile, Asuka retrieved the cards from her deck and stretched out her arm toward the void ahead: "I'll use the Level 1 [Dragonlight Takumi - Right Pivot α] and the Level 1 [Dragonlight Takumi - Upper Star ζ] to construct an Xyz Network and perform a stacking attack!"

"Xyz Summon! Come forth! Rank 1 - [Dragon Radiance Technique - Basket Plus Two μβ']!"

-

【Longhui Qiao - Supporting the Basket Increases Two μβ'】

(Mechanical/Light/1-star/Attack 2000/Defense 0)

Effect/Overdose:

2 or more 1-star monsters

The effects ① and ③ of this card can each be used once per turn.

①: This effect can be activated if this card is successfully Xyz Summoned. Send 1 "Dragon's Blessing" card from your Deck to the Graveyard.

②: When a Ritual Summon is performed, you can also remove the Tributed Monsters from this card's XYZ Materials.

③: If you control a Machine-Type Ritual Monster, and your opponent activates a Spell/Trap Card, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to activate this effect. Negate that activation and destroy it.

An enormous vortex unfolded in front of Asuka, absorbing the dragon-shaped mecha on both cheeks. Then, a massive amount of starlight suddenly burst out from the vortex.

Everyone: "Ahhh!!! What on earth happened???"

The ground beneath their feet began to shake violently, and even the spectators in the stands felt a very noticeable tremor.

After that, an enormous warship, invisible to the naked eye, appeared beneath their feet, accompanied by a burst of light.

Replacing the original ground, this massive dragon-shaped star destroyer revealed only the tip of the iceberg.

Compared to the [Dragon Radiance Technique - Support Basket Increase Two μβ'] that is appearing now, the previous [Dragon Radiance Technique - Right Pivot α] seems not to be that huge.

"The effect of 【Dragon's Radiance Takumi - Basket Plus Two μβ' is activated! If this card is Xyz Summoned, send one 【Dragon's Radiance Takumi】 card from the Deck to the Graveyard, and I discard 【Dragon's Radiance Takumi - Heavenly Pillar Four γ】 from the Deck."

"The effect of 【Dragon's Glamour - Heavenly Pillar 4γ】 is activated. I Tribute the second 【Cyber ​​Angel - Benten-】 in my hand and Special Summon it from the Graveyard... When 【Dragon's Glamour - Heavenly Pillar 4γ】 is Special Summoned by this effect, I can draw one card from my Deck by revealing one Ritual Spell Card or one Ritual Monster from my hand."

After showing the Ritual Spell Card "Meteor Shower" from her hand to Mizuo, Asuka drew a card from her deck.

The card that was drawn was the Rainbow Witch with braided hair – [The Proclaimer's Witch] (Angel/Light/2-star/ATK 500/DEF 300).

Youxing: “…”

Mizuo: "Will this ever end...?"

"Next, I Normal Summon the [Announcer's Witch] from my hand and activate its effect to send [Rainbow Announcer] from the Extra Deck to the Graveyard."

"If [Rainbow Declarator] is sent to the Graveyard, I can search for one Ritual Monster Card or Ritual Spell Card from my Deck. I choose to search for [Declarator of Light] in my Deck."

Mizuo: "Is...it over?"

Mizuo felt as if a million ants were crawling on his mind, and as he watched Asuka continue to unfold her story with growing anxiety, his mind gradually became muddled.

How many searches were performed, and how many special summons were actually conducted...?

Now that things have come to this, can we still count them all?

"No! Not yet!"

In response to Mizuo's question, Asuka, who had been telling stories for a while, finally inserted the Ritual Spell Card she had previously searched into the back row of the Duel Disk: "I activate the Ritual Spell Card from my hand—[Meteor Shower]!"

-

【Meteor Shower】

(Ritual Spell Card)

Required for the summoning of a Ritual Monster. You can only use the ② effect of this card's name once per turn.
