Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

②: If this card is in your Graveyard, you can target 1 "Dragon's Blessing" monster you control; that monster loses 1000 ATK until the end of your opponent's turn, and this card is added to your hand.

"Based on the effect of [Meteor Shower], when I perform a Ritual Summon of a Ritual Monster, I can directly release monsters from my hand or field with the corresponding ATK value without considering their Level."

Asuka spoke slowly, explaining the current situation: "And according to the effect of the Xyz Monster—[Dragonlight Chord - Fukumazu 2μβ'], when I perform a Ritual Summon, the materials used for its Release can also be removed from its Xyz Materials!"

"What?! They can actually use materials from Xyz Monsters as offerings for a ritual summon... What kind of outrageous effect is this?"

"Not only that, did you hear what Asuka just said? The ritual summoning she's performing now only requires releasing Machine-type monsters whose attack power exceeds the ritual monster's value; she doesn't need to obsess over levels like before..."

"Holy crap...wouldn't this make it so easy to summon high-level ritual monsters?"

The audience members shared their opinions.

Their eyes were filled with shock at the sight of this monster from the "Dragon's Radiance" series.

With so many unconventional effects... the person who could print these cards must not have many friends, right?

That's right! I'm talking about you...

Unforgivable, Pegasus!

"I will release [Dragonlight Chord - Right Pivot α] (ATK 2000) as Xyz Material for [Dragonlight Chord - Basket Increase 2μβ'] to perform a Ritual Summon!"

"Descend, archangel of rainbows and pure white—[Announcer of Radiance]!"

[The Proclaimer of Sovereignty]

(Angel/Light/12-star/Attack 2000/Defense 3000)

Ritual/Effect:

The divine mandate of the "Announcer" has descended.

This card cannot be Special Summoned unless it is Ritual Summoned.

①: You can send 1 Fairy-Type monster from your hand to the Graveyard to activate the following effect.

●This can only be activated when your opponent activates a monster's effect, spell card, or trap card. Negate that activation and destroy it.

●This can only be activated when the opponent Special Summons a monster. That Special Summon is negated, and those monsters are destroyed.

Holy light shone down from the sky, and the eldest brother of the 12th star, Soukoku, guided by the rainbow light, raised his right arm and stood in front of Asuka.

Its body was filled with an indescribable, strange aura.

"Heh... Tenjouin, with such complicated summoning conditions, you just wanted to summon a monster with an attack power of 2000?" Looking at the "pitiful" attack power that was completely incompatible with Souko's appearance, Mizuo let out a cold laugh.

So all those exaggerated displays you just did were just meaningless smoke and mirrors?

"idiot……"

Looking at the smug Mizuo, Asuka calmly commented, "You only see the surface of things. You really haven't changed at all... Mizuo!"

"Don't call me Mizuo! I'm a boy now!" Just like a kid whose chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) has been exposed, Mizuo instinctively retorted when he heard that slightly jarring name.

"You're still as self-centered as ever, and you still do things so secretly." Ignoring Mizuo's explanation, Asuka continued what she hadn't finished saying earlier.

"What?! A gambling spirit of going all in, and this exhilarating duelist's soul... Where did I sneak around?" Mizuo's expression froze as he couldn't understand Asuka's words.

"Hey~ I think the effect of flipping a coin twice is a bit underhanded..." Yuki Jaden, who was standing to the side, glanced at the silent Yusei and tried to offer his opinion.

Although it was an additional effect of the magic card "Second Chance", Yuki Judai always felt that Mizuo lacked the courage to face his opponents directly and was always thinking of using these opportunistic methods to get the results he wanted.

"Do you remember, Mizuo? What happened when we were in sixth grade..."

A look of reminiscence crossed Asuka's pretty face as she spoke softly and fondly about what had happened in the past: "When you transferred to our class, you introduced yourself with such polite manners, and you showed us your pure, angelic smile..."

Shuiwei: "..."

"But that was just a facade. From the next day onward, that smile turned into a devil's smile." Looking directly at Mizuo, Asuka continued, "You asked your classmates for a gambling license, offering to stake a treasure..."

"Given your wealthy family background, you always have something to gamble on, so you'll issue challenges no matter how many times you try to beat your opponents... In this way, you constantly snatch treasures from your classmates."

"...So what? I won all those things? They didn't get a second chance because they didn't have the resources or money. What does that have to do with me?"

As Asuka recounted her story, Mizuo couldn't help but frown.

Even now, he doesn't think he did anything wrong.

I won, so all of this is mine! What did I do wrong? I didn't force them to gamble at gunpoint, did I? They wanted my things themselves, so they came and gave them to me willingly!

"So you still remember what happened back then..." Composing herself, Asuka smoothed a strand of blonde hair that fell beside her ear: "Then, you must also remember that I challenged you when I couldn't stand such behavior, right?"

"I……"

"We wagered my gift, and the treasures you stole from our classmates, in a duel of monsters."

Asuka glanced at Mizuo's chest, noticing the red silk scarf peeking out of his suit pocket. She frowned slightly and continued, "And then... you lost to me in our card duel... Not only did you not intend to admit defeat, but you also snatched the headscarf my mother gave me, then transferred schools without permission and ran away from there..."

"After doing all that, do you still dare to say those words?"

Mizuo: "...Gu!"

The stern rebuke, like a sharp sword, pierced through Mizuo's chest, silencing any rebuttal he was about to utter.

With his teeth clenched, Mizuo was rendered speechless by Asuka's words, and his right hand unconsciously clenched together tightly...

412 The End of the Road for Gamblers (5K)

"So that's how it is. So this guy is a thief?" Hearing this, Yusei finally understood the relationship between Mizuo and Asuka.

Mizuo, from a wealthy family, has the resources and confidence to try again in his bet with his classmates, just like the "second chance" he just initiated.

Using this advantage, he successfully snatched many treasures from others at a young age.

However, the invincible Mizuo encountered an insurmountable obstacle: Asuka. No matter how many times they fought, he could not defeat Asuka in a duel.

Enraged, he skipped the duel and snatched the headscarf that Asuka's mother had given her as a gift, then promptly fled, depriving Asuka of the chance to get it back...

No wonder Asuka went all out from the start...

It turns out this guy is not only Asuka's acquaintance, but also her enemy from many years ago!

"...That headscarf was an important birthday gift from my mother, but you took it from me! And because you transferred schools, I haven't been able to get it back..."

Asuka reiterated the significance of the gift to her, a hint of annoyance creeping into her gaze as she looked at Mizuo.

"Heh! Unfortunately, ever since then... this headscarf has been my lucky charm. Wearing it to a competition guarantees a win." Mizuo deliberately pulled out the headscarf and waved it in front of him, a playful expression on his face.

He was determined to go down this path to the bitter end, showing no intention of repentance and still not feeling that there was anything wrong with his actions.

"but

Yes, you can't beat me.

"Hmph! How will you know if you don't try? I'm not planning to lose!"

Even though Asuka had performed a spectacular show right in front of him, Mizuo had no intention of admitting defeat.

I don't know if he was unaware of the power of "Master Kong" (a popular instant noodle brand) and therefore didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, or if he was just a completely inexplicably confident idiot...

In short, Mizuo is currently wearing a mysterious smile.

"Is that so? Then I'll continue." Having witnessed Mizuo's stubbornness, Asuka gave up on trying to persuade him. She shook her head slightly and turned her gaze back to the current scene.

On her field, at this moment, there is—

【Dragon's Cleverness - Basket Support Increase 2μβ'】(Attack Power 2000 / Defense Power 0)

【Announcer of Glory】(Attack 2000 / Defense 3000)

[The Proclaimer's Shaman] (Attack 500 / Defense 300)

【Dragon Radiance Skill - Heavenly Pillar Four γ】(Attack Power 2000 / Defense Power 0)

These monsters exist.

On the opposite side, on Mizuo's field, there is an attack position [Gambling Angel Bunny Girl] (ATK 1200), a face-up Continuous Spell Card [Second Chance], and a face-down card whose contents are unknown.

Since Dragonlight Trickster monsters are always in Defense Position when Special Summoned through their own effects, [Dragonlight Trickster - Sky Pierce Four γ] cannot be considered an Attack Monster.

Therefore, if Asuka attacks at this moment, theoretically, she could deal 4500-1200... or 3300 points of damage to Mizuo.

After one round of attacks, Water Tail still has 700 health points left.

What, you're saying he also has a face card?

Compared to the highly regarded "Master Kong" brand, what is Getty Images? Does it even matter?

unimportant!

"...I activate the effect of [Meteor Shower] in my graveyard, reducing the ATK of my [Dragon Shower - Heavenly Pillar Four γ] in Defense Position by 1000, and then add it to my hand from the graveyard."

The meteor radiance of Draco emanated from the six-legged [Dragon Radiance Technique - Heavenly Pillar Four γ].

These rays of light converged in Asuka's hand, eventually transforming into a ritual magic card—[Meteor Shower]!

"Retrieving magic cards from the graveyard? What exactly are you planning to do?"

"You'll find out next!"

Without commenting on Mizuo's question, Asuka then inserted a spell card from her hand into the back row of the Duel Disk: "Ritual Spell [Meteor Shower] activated! Tribute Machine-Type monsters from your hand or field until their total ATK exceeds the ATK of the monster that was Ritual Summoned. Ritual Summon 1 Ritual Monster from your hand or Graveyard."

Everyone: "What?! From the cemetery...?"

Asuka: "That's right! When using the card [Meteor Shower] for a Ritual Summon, you can target Ritual Monsters in your Graveyard in addition to those in your hand."

【Meteor Shower】is somewhat similar to 【Monster Reborn】, but it has certain limitations and is not as comprehensive as 【Monster Reborn】.

However, unlike [Monster Resurrection], [Meteorite Swarm] can achieve precise retrieval through the effects of Dragonite Swarm monsters.

This card might not be very useful against other decks.

But for Asuka, this card... or rather the entire Dragon Radiance System, can be said to have brought her electronic angel to life, making her a super mainstream force that wreaks havoc on the environment!

Success is achieved if the search is successful!
