Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

As Yusei said this, he held a card high above his head. It was the key card of the Hero deck—[Fusion]!

"...Spell Card [Fusion] activated! I send [Elemental HERO Clayman] from my hand and [Phantom HERO Incremental] from the field to the Graveyard to perform a Fusion Summon!"

Clayman is of the Earth element, while Incremental Man is of the Dark element.

The fusion summoning of two monsters with different attributes happens to meet the summoning conditions of a certain hero!

"Come forth! Crimson Flash—[Elemental Heroes: Sunrise Warrior]!!!"

Warm light shone down on the earth, and then, the bull-horned hero, clad in red armor, raised his cloak and slowly descended onto the field of Yusei.

“If Sunrise Spellbook is successfully Special Summoned, I can add one Miracle Fusion Spell from my Deck to my hand.” As Yusei said this, he added a brand new Fusion Spell from his Deck to his hand.

"Then... Miracle Fusion activates! I banish Elemental HERO Sunrise from the field and Elemental HERO Liquid from the graveyard to perform a second Fusion Summon!"

A red and blue vortex, along with the symbol representing the [Elemental Heroes], appeared in front of Yusei, drawing Sunrise and Liquid Heroes into the vortex, which then erupted with an extremely strong energy fluctuation.

A new hero will be born here.

"...Unite that belief into one, and be born—[Awaken your sleeping elemental heroes]!!!"

A white light shone, and multiple elemental heroes appeared in mid-air...

New Bubble Man, Flash Flame Wingman, Sawtooth Wilderness Man, Necromancer Darker, Hero Boy...

This monster, which was previously summoned by Jaden Yuki and is somewhat different from ordinary monsters, is a plural Hero Fusion Monster that looks a bit unusual. Now, Yusei has pulled it out of his deck again and placed it on the field.

Since this is a duel against the Cyber ​​Dragon deck, Yusei specifically placed this monster on the Duel Disk in Defense Position.

Cyber ​​Dragon Infinite's Minotaur effect can only affect monsters in Attack Position.

Changing a monster to defense position can prevent the transfer of control.

"The attack power of [Awaken Your Sleeping Elemental Hero] will increase by 300 times the number of material monsters used as materials. Since there are 2 material monsters, its attack power will also increase by 600 points!"

(【Awaken Your Sleeping Elemental Heroes】Attack Power: 2500→3100)

For monsters in Defense Position, the increase in attack power is somewhat negligible, but it's better than nothing.

After pointing to the monster in front of him and explaining its effect, Yusei then inserted two cards from his hand into the back row of the Duel Disk and waved to end his turn: "Two cards are buried. End of turn."

(Yusei's hand size: 6 → 1)

437 The strongest evolved Cyber ​​Dragon

"...By the way, when Liquid Man is banished as Fusion Material, I can draw two cards from my deck and then choose one card to discard from my hand."

At the end of the round, Yusei pointed to his current hand.

Based on the original single card, he drew two more cards through the monster's effect, and after some thought, sent one of his three cards to the graveyard.

"Understood... Well then, it's my turn next."

Nodding to indicate that he understood the situation, Caesar then placed his right hand on top of the deck and drew a new card: "My turn, draw!"

"Hmm... this ending..."

Caesar glanced at Yusei's final performance, a look of doubt flashing across his face.

The final scene that Yusei is showing at this moment seems terrifying, but in reality, it has many loopholes.

Although there were many monsters, they did not have any effective suppression power.

There are no restrictions on the number of people who can play the game, and at most, there are just more people playing it.

The only thing that could be considered a threat was probably the Shadow Mist Lady, who could transform at any time.

I have absolutely no idea what he's thinking.

"Yusei... are you stuck with a bad hand?" Before rushing to make a move, Caesar stared at his opponent and asked this question.

What he can confirm at present is that one of the two face-down cards in Yusei's back row is the Quick-Play Spell Card he searched earlier - [Mask Change], which is used to allow the Mistress of Shadows to transform into a mask.

The other one, however, has no specific information.

However, if that card is a trap card, then there's no way to avoid his [Red Reboot]... It's pointless to set it, so there's no need to worry at all.

"Holding your hand? Well... is that what you're thinking?" Scratching his head, looking at his frontcourt, Yusei's face immediately showed a knowing expression.

Yes, judging from the surface, I've just summoned a bunch of meat shields.

Apart from the one fusion monster that poses some threat, the other monsters are merely low-level meat shields in the face of Cyber ​​Dragon.

No wonder Caesar on the other side said those things.

"...You think my final shot wasn't strong enough? Well then, so what?"

Entering the main phase of Caesar, Yusei smiled and, as everyone expected, flipped over a face-down card from the back row: "At this moment, I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card—[Mask Change]! Send my [Elemental HERO Mist Lady] to the Graveyard, and Special Summon a [Mask HERO] monster of the same Attribute from my Extra Deck!"

Yusei tapped the Duel Disk on his arm and then slammed the Grand Spaceman onto it: "Come on! The dark hero who brings smiles to everyone—[Masked Hero Dark Claw]!"

As Yusei finished speaking, a dazzling light enveloped the Shadow Mist Lady's body.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, countless fragments gathered around her, then adhered to her body one by one, eventually transforming into a werewolf-shaped black and purple armor.

The Masked Hero Dark Claw was born!

Of course, Darkclaw, which appears at this time, is still in a defense position (defense power: 1800).

"...Since [Elemental Hero: Lady of the Mist] has been sent to the graveyard, her second effect will also be triggered."

During his opponent's turn, Yusei began his performance as if no one else was around: "Now I can add one [Hero] monster card other than Shadow Mist Lady to my hand from my deck!"

"...I choose to search for the second card, [Elemental Hero Sky Knight]."

"Very good, this is the kind of strength that the person I want to defeat should have." Yusei's act of summoning his friend, Hero, did not put pressure on Caesar; on the contrary, it invigorated him.

Just like Cyber ​​Dragon is his Tamashi, his representative card.

"Friend Hero" is also a synonym for "Youxing".

Defeating this monster head-on is equivalent to delivering a heavy blow to Yusei!

This was exactly the opportunity he had always hoped for.

"You've already Special Summoned Friend Hero, so now... it's my turn to make my move!"

As he said this, Caesar slammed a monster card from his hand onto his Duel Disk: "...This card can be Special Summoned directly from your hand only when there is a monster on your opponent's field!"

"...Come on! [Electronic Dragon]!"

The steel dragon coiled its body and descended before Caesar as his words fell.

Its body, forged from steel, occasionally reflected a cold, gleaming light.

(【Electronic Dragon】Attack Power: 2100)

"Next, I will Normal Summon [Cyber ​​Dragon Core] from my hand and activate its effect. If this card is successfully summoned, I can add one [Cyber] Spell/Trap Card from my Deck to my hand! I choose to search for [Cyber ​​Emergency Call]."

After summoning a monster from his hand, Caesar immediately retrieved a clan-specific Spell Card from his deck, namely the one jokingly called "Dragon's Light Emergency Call"—[Cyber ​​Emergency Call]...

"Searching for cards? Heh... Then I'll activate the effect of [Masked Hero Dark Claw] once per turn. If your opponent adds a card from their deck to their hand outside of their draw phase, banish one random card from their hand!"

After explaining the second effect of Friend Hero, Yusei casually pointed to Caesar's hand, indicating that he should randomly select a card and send it to another dimension.

"...Randomness excluded? Looks like it's time to test my luck!"

With a slight smile, Caesar flipped over his hand, shuffled it randomly, took out the top card, looked at it, and put it into his uniform pocket.

"Unfortunately, the card that was just banished was not the previously searched [Cyber ​​Emergency Call], but the monster card [Cyber ​​Dragon III]. When this card is banished, you can activate its effect: target 1 [Cyber ​​Dragon] monster you control, and that monster cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects this turn."

"Tsk... Not selected?" Yusei clicked his tongue in disappointment, his brows furrowing slightly.

“The Dark Claw’s hand banishment effect can only be activated once per turn, so I don’t have to worry about anything anymore!” Caesar said, taking out a card and inserting it into the back row of the Duel Disk: “I target the Cyber ​​Dragon Core on the field and activate the Spell Card Machine Copy!”

"While [Cyber ​​Dragon Core] is on the field or in the Graveyard, its card name can also be used as [Cyber ​​Dragon]. Furthermore, Machine Copy can only target Machine-Type monsters you control with 500 or less ATK. By combining these two cards, I can Special Summon two [Cyber ​​Dragons] from my Deck!!!"

"...What?! There's such a thing?" Upon hearing Caesar's explanation, a gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd in the stands.

Just as they were marveling at this, two electronic dragons appeared on Caesar's field, accompanied by a burst of light.

"I don't need to tell you what to do next, do I?"

"There are three 5-star Cyber ​​Dragon monsters... which means..."

“That’s right! Yusei…you should know better than anyone what I’m planning to do!”

Extending his arm forward, Caesar's eyes narrowed as he clenched his fist tightly: "I will stack two [Cyber ​​Dragons] to construct an Xyz Network and perform an Xyz Summon!"

"...The light of a new star guides my way! Xyz Summon, Rank 5—[Cyber ​​Dragon Nova]!!!"

As Caesar finished speaking, the two Cyber ​​Dragons plunged into the black and white Xyz vortex, and then transformed into a brand new Cyber ​​Dragon of the next generation!

Steel wings covered in red patterns stretched out wildly, blocking the light falling from the ceiling.

The enormous red power source located on his chest continuously transmits power to his limbs and bones.

This is the future form of the Cyber ​​Dragon—Cyber ​​Dragon Nova!

"Then, I will construct an Xyz Network using the monster [Cyber ​​Dragon Nova] and perform an Xyz Transformation!"

Caesar, still raising his arm high like a sword, immediately launched a second Xyz Summon: "This is the new, even ultimate, power I have gained!!!"
