Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

-

"...Baroness of Flowers?" Feeling the terrifying pressure from the monster opposite him, Jaden Yuki instinctively lowered his body and placed the Duel Disk in front of him.

“That’s right, this is the monster that will bring you despair, and it’s also my trump card.” Looking at the reliable knight in front of him, Daitokuji waved his arm and activated its effect: “The first effect of [Baroness of Flowers] is activated once per turn. Target one card on the field and destroy it.”

“I choose to destroy…” Pointing to the only monster on Jaden Yuki’s field, Daitokuji continued, “Of course, it’s your [Masked Hero Acid].

Yuki Judai: "...!"

"Disappear, you eyesore!" After casting a complicated look at the hero who had dealt him the heavy blow earlier, Master Daitokuji then gave his instructions to Baroness Flower.

Upon receiving the order, the Flower Baroness raised her longsword and unleashed a gust of wind, sending the Masked Hero Acid Water to the graveyard.

There was not the slightest hindrance throughout the entire process.

"Next, a direct attack! Go... [Baroness of Flowers]!" With the obstacles in her path cleared, Jaden Yuki, now completely exposed, was laid bare before Daitokuji-sensei's monster.

Targeting his prized student, Daitokuji issued an order for a direct attack.

"Don't even think about it! At this very moment... I open the face-down card in the back row and activate the Trap Card—[Hero's Visit]!"

Holding up his hand, Jaden Yuki smiled and said, "Hey! Teacher, choose one of my cards. If it's a monster, I can Special Summon it directly to the field!"

"There's no need for that!" With a wave of his hand, Master Daitokuji immediately said, "I'll chain your Trap Card and activate the second effect of [Baroness of Flowers] to negate and destroy the effects of Spell, Trap, and Monster cards!"

"...What?" Upon hearing this effect, Jaden Yuki's expression froze, and the smile on his face also vanished.

It's all about card bombings and card-related issues...

Isn't this 10-star Synchro Monster a bit too overpowered?

"Go forth, my monster!"

He swung his longsword and cleaved the trap card in two.

Baroness Flower, riding her warhorse straight towards Judai Yuki, maintained her charging posture and made direct, close contact with Judai Yuki...

--boom! ! !

"Ughhhhhh...!!!"

As if struck head-on by a high-speed train, Jaden Yuki's body, having taken the hit, was sent flying backward and crashed into the wall behind him.

His health points were reduced by more than half in an instant.

(Yujo Judai LP: 4000 → 1000)

"Ten generations!"

"...Big Brother!!!"

"Are you alright, Judai?"

Rushing towards Jaden Yuki, Yusei helped him up from the ground and asked him with concern.

The Dark Duel inflicts real physical damage.

Just watching that happened made him feel pain...

It's hard to imagine what kind of pain Jaden Yuki, as the person involved, must have been experiencing.

"Cough cough... It's... It's alright..."

After coughing a few times, Jaden Yuki, who had successfully survived the attack thanks to his protagonist aura, gave everyone a reassuring look.

Master Daitokuji: "Oh? Judai... after suffering such severe injuries, can he still stand up?"

Jaden Yuki: "Of course... I don't intend to give up on the duel just like that, Daitokuji-sensei!"

Wiping his mouth, Jaden Yuki, having recovered, strode back to his previous position and said, "Fine! Bring on whatever tricks you have up your sleeve!"

"Heh... Well then, I'll grant your wish." With a soft chuckle, Master Daitokuji entered his Main Phase 2, beginning the second phase of his turn: "I activate the Spell Card [Synchro Deactivate] from my hand, returning my [Baroness of Flowers] to the Extra Deck, and then Special Summon the Synchro Material Monsters used in the Synchro Summon from my Graveyard!"

-

[Collaboration Cancellation]

(Normal Spell Card)

effect:

You can target 1 Synchro Monster on the field; return that Synchro Monster to its owner's Extra Deck.

After that, if a set of Synchro Material Monsters used in the Synchro Summon of the monster that returned to the Extra Deck are gathered in your Graveyard, you can Special Summon that set to your field.

-

Enveloped in a whirlwind of starlight-filled bubbles, the Flower Baroness, having achieved her objective, returned to her extra deck.

Then, the figures of [Jet Synchronizer] and [King Kaio vs. King Hal] reappeared before everyone's eyes in its place.

[Jet Synchronizer] Attack Power: 500

[King Kaio vs. King Hal] Attack Power: 3000

"This is... fusion... fusion release?"

"No! It should be Synchro Release!"

The spell card activated by Daitokuji-sensei can be described as a Synchro version of [Fusion Release].

However, unlike [Fusion Release], which is a Quick-Play Spell Card, this card is a Normal Spell Card, so it cannot be activated during the Battle Phase.

"What exactly are you planning to do?" Judai asked, puzzled by Daitokuji-sensei's actions.

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

With a mysterious smile on his face, Master Daitokuji extended his arm: "For the second time this round, I will perform a Synchro Summon by adjusting the star level of the 1-star [Jet Synchronizer] and the 9-star [King Kaio vs. King Hal]!"

Everyone: "...Masaka (Could it be)?!"

"...Appear once more riding your warhorse! [Baroness of Flowers]!" Shouting the monster's name, the smiling Daitokuji-sensei pulled [Baroness of Flowers] out of his Extra Deck once more.

"...Huh? What is Master Daitokuji doing?"

"Flowers become flowers... What's the point of doing that? Isn't it just a waste of cards?"

Sho and Hayato both looked puzzled by Daitokuji-sensei's perplexing actions.

Wasn't that round of development just a waste of time?

"No! That's not it!" Squinting at Daitokuji-sensei, Yusei explained to the two, "After the resynchronization operation, the effect of [Flower Baroness] has been refreshed!"

Sho & Hayato: "...Nani?"

Yusei: "In other words... [Baroness of Flowers] can now activate her card-bombing effect again, and her second effect of countering cards can also be activated again in the next turn of Jaden!"

"...Such a thing exists?!"

After hearing Yusei's explanation, both of them immediately showed expressions of shock.

Even Jaden Yuki on the field couldn't help but show a troubled expression.

Back and forth, Daitokuji-sensei's actions seemed futile, but in reality, he performed a brilliant maneuver, giving the two people beside him a good lesson.

Those unaware of this situation might still believe that [Baroness of Flowers] has already activated its effect and can no longer destroy cards, thus putting their minds at ease...

Then, he'll be swiftly proven wrong by the [Flower Baroness]...

"Bury a card, end the turn."

Since there were no other cards on Yuki Jaden's field, Daitokuji-sensei did not activate the effect of [Banshee of Flowers].

After placing one of his cards in the back row, he ended his turn immediately.

"My turn, draw a card..."

With a thoughtful expression, Jaden Yuki drew a new card from his deck.

At that very moment, Daitokuji-sensei, seizing the opportunity, also revealed his face-down card: "Ambush Card Open! Judai, at the very instant you draw your card, I activate the Trap Card—[The King's Battle]!"

Jaden Yuuki: "...The King's War is coming?"

Daitokuji-sensei: "That's right. You can only activate one of these cards per turn. Its effect is to select one 'King of War' Field Spell Card from your Deck or Graveyard, and then let your opponent draw one card."

The order of action is to activate the Field Spell Card first, and then... only then allow the opponent to draw a card.

"...Could it be?!"

Seemingly having guessed Daitokuji-sensei's plan, Judai's expression became quite interesting.

"Hehehe... Did you guess it? The Field Spell Card of [King's Battle] - [King's Battle Stage] is a card whose effect is triggered the moment the opponent draws a card."

With a smile on his face, Daitokuji retrieved the Field Spell Card "Stage of the King's Battle" from the Graveyard into his hand, then placed it directly into the side area of ​​the Duel Disk and activated it: "...Come on! Jaden...let's return to the World Tree together!"

420, my lord, the tenth generation has changed!

"Here again... Is it going to be the same thing that happened last time?"

The surrounding scenery changed once again with the activation of the Field Spell Card [Stage of the King's Battle].

The final battle, which Jaden Yuki had managed to destroy with great difficulty using the effect of "Masked Hero Acid Water," now seems to be making a comeback under the control of Daitokuji-sensei, who has opened his eyes.

As the light spreads, the nightmare returns.

Nine points representing nine worlds appeared above everyone's heads, accompanied by light. The pure white and enormous tree trunks of the world trees replaced the original floor and spread out beneath everyone's feet...

"...According to the effect of [The King's War], after you activate a Field Spell Card from your Graveyard, I must draw one card from my Deck."

With a reluctant expression, Yuki Jaden, who drew another card from his deck thanks to the effect of a trap card, was thus pulled back onto the stage by Daitokuji-sensei.

Wang Zhan's stage has reappeared.

This means that the realm kings of the nine worlds are about to make a comeback.

“Judai, since you added a card from your deck to your hand, the effect of [Stage of the King's Battle] will also be triggered…” Tapping his Duel Disk, Daitokuji-sensei continued with a smile, “…Next, I can Special Summon a [King's Battle] monster from my deck in Defense Position.”

"...Damn it, it's that card again. Is it really this combination?" Looking at the surrounding scenery and having experienced the feeling before, Yuki Jaden had already guessed what Daitokuji-sensei was planning next.

Starting with a Field Spell Card, unleashing a burst of power during the opponent's turn – that's the strategy of the King's Battle series!

"First, I Special Summon a second 'Lopto the Shadow of Kings' from my Deck... And as I Special Summon the 'Kings' monster, the second effect of the Field Spell Card 'Kings' Stage' will also be triggered, and I will Special Summon as many 'Kings' Team Tokens' as possible to my field in Attack Position!"

As Daitokuji-sensei finished speaking, the God of Mischief, clad in a white robe, appeared on the field, bowing slightly, along with three petal-shaped [King's Team Derivatives].
