Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

“出来吧！【A-突击核】（机械族/光/4星/攻击力：1900/守备力：400）、【B-破坏龙兽】（机械族/光/4星/攻击力：1500守备力：1800）、以及【C-粉碎翼龙】（机械族/光/4星/攻击力：1200/守备力：2000）！！！”

With Wan Zhangmu's movements, orange-yellow scorpion-shaped tracked armored vehicles, gold-green velociraptor-shaped armed artillery turrets, and blue-purple wing-dragon-shaped missile launchers...

In the end, at the cost of one card, three Machine-type allied monsters appeared before Manjou, accompanied by a burst of light.

This card-earning maneuver made Jaden Yuki, who was used to exchanging multiple cards for one, feel quite ashamed.

Gokaido: "It's actually... three allied monsters?!"

"It's not over yet! Let's go! ABC Triple Combination!"

Suddenly stretching out his arm, Manjoume shouted at the three monsters in front of him: "Ban melee monsters [A-Assault Core], [B-Destroyer Dragon], and [C-Crusher Winged Dragon] from my field, and Special Summon—[ABC-Dragon Annihilator]!!!"

[A-Assault Core] was used as a chassis, and [B-Destroyer Dragon] sat on its crotch. Then, [C-Crusher Wyvern] pressed its body tightly against the back of [B-Destroyer Dragon], interlocking with it and gradually becoming one with it.

Two long cannon barrels, along with rocket launchers, were pointed at the location of the Fifth Hall on the opposite side.

And so, a brand new fusion monster with the characteristics of the three monster alliance monsters ABC—the [ABC-Dragon Annihilator] with 3000 attack power—appeared before everyone's eyes, accompanied by surging lightning!

[ABC-Dragon Annihilator]

(Mechanical/Light/8-star/Attack: 3000/Defense: 2800)

Blending/Effects:

②: During your opponent's turn, you can Tribute this card to target 3 of your banished Machine-Type LIGHT Union Monsters; Special Summon those monsters.

"So...so awesome!"

With the appearance of [ABC-Dragon Annihilator], an extremely terrifying pressure swept towards the Fifth Hall.

Under this pressure, he involuntarily took a half step back, and a look of fear appeared on his face.

He could feel the aura of destruction emanating from the monster opposite him.

"It's ABC... Looks like Manjoume has gotten stronger again!" Yusei, stroking his chin, couldn't help but exclaim from the audience upon seeing this scene.

【ABC-Dragon Destroyer】 was once a staple monster in the top-tier decks of the Pie chart.

Although there is an even more powerful one above it, namely the AtoZ-Dragon Annihilator, which is a combination of the ABC-Dragon Annihilator and the XYZ-Dragon Cannon, its summoning conditions are too demanding, so it is stronger to remove it in actual battle.

The mere existence of ABC alone is enough to exert a tremendous deterrent effect on the opponent!

"3200 attack power, is that right? In a head-on confrontation... it would certainly take damage on me, but... a duel isn't just a contest of attack power!"

Looking at the [Charging Captain] wielding twin swords opposite him, Manjoume's lips curled into a smug smile as he said, "[ABC-Dragon Annihilator]'s effect activated! Once per turn, discard one card from your hand and banish one card from the field! My chosen target is none other than your [Charging Captain]!"

Gokaido: "...What?!"

"Disappear from my sight, you eyesore monster!"

Sending a card from his hand to the graveyard, Manjoume reached out and activated the monster's effect.

Upon receiving the order, the [ABC-Dragon Annihilator] aimed all its weapons at the [Charging Captain] and fired all its cannons at once, sending him to the other side of the dimension with a single shot!

"I haven't made a Normal Summon this turn, so next, I'll summon this monster from my hand."

Watching the annoying captain disappear from his sight, Manjoume nodded in satisfaction and summoned the monster from his hand: "Come forth! [X-Boss Cannon] (Machine/Light/Level 4/ATK: 1800/DEF: 1500)!"

The monster, equipped with a powerful cannon on its upper body and possessing the ability to combine, came onto his field as Manjoume made his move.

This monster, which has been given the title of leader, has a standard attack power of 1800 points.

"Then comes the battle phase! [X-Boss Cannon] (Attack Power: 1800) attacks [Wilderness Warrior] (Attack Power: 1400), and [ABC-Dragon Annihilator] attacks Fifth Hall directly!"

He issued attack commands to his monster one after another, his eyes filled with confidence.

He crossed his arms, striking a pose of composure.

And the situation on the other side was exactly as he had predicted.

After being attacked by two monsters in succession, Gokaido's health dropped by 3400 points in one go! His body was also knocked away by the huge impact and fell backward.

"Ugh...ugh...ugh..."

(Wujietang Baoshan LP: 4000→600)

After struggling to his feet, Gokaido wiped the dust off his face and revealed an expression of utter defiance.

He had 600 health points remaining, and Manjoume, who had launched the attack, could no longer harm him.

(【"

In any case, we've at least made it through this round!

"Hidden card, turn ends!"

Having completed his offensive, Manjoume habitually set a card face down and ended his turn.

The attack designations are [ABC - Dragon Annihilator] and [X - Boss Cannon].

"Hmm~ Manjoume is quite capable!" Leaning on the railing, watching Manjoume unilaterally slaughter Gokaido, Coach Napoleon couldn't help but cast an admiring glance at him.

As expected of a former student of Obelisk Blue, even after spending so much time with Osiris Red, his strength has not diminished.

"...Of course! Although Manjoume is still in Osiris Red, there is no doubt... his dueling prowess is unfathomable! As a gem... he shines wherever he is!"

Professor Chronos nodded in agreement, hands on his hips, a smug expression on his face: "I have high expectations for Manjoume!"

"Is...is that so?"

The newly arrived instructor, Napoleon, was unaware that Professor Chronos had previously used Manjoume as a tool to deal with Judai Yuki, so he could only be skeptical of his statement.

"My turn, Manjoume is Sang... My turn, draw a card!"

With his hands behind his back, Gokaido drew a card from his deck and immediately activated it: "Activate the Spell Card [Pot of Greed]! Based on this card's effect, I draw two cards from my deck!"

"Next, I'll open the face-down card in the back row and activate the Continuous Trap Card 'Call of the Living Dead' to revive the monster you destroyed and sent to the Graveyard before—'Warrior of the Wilds'. Then I'll equip 'Warrior of the Wilds' with the Equip Spell Card from my hand—'Greatsword'!"

Manjoume: "A greatsword?"

Gokaido: "That's right! Monsters equipped with this card gain 300 ATK. When it is Tribute Summoned, one monster can be used as two."

With that, Gokaido removed "Warrior of the Wilds" and "Greatsword" from the Duel Disk and sent them to the Graveyard, then placed a brand new monster card on the Duel Disk: "Come forth! My ace monster! Level 8—[The Legendary Sword Saint] (ATK: 2600)!!!"

"...What?! It's a high-level summon?!" A little confused by Gokaido's actions, Yusei couldn't help but exclaim in bewilderment.

Using this thing to fight against the [ABC-Dragon Annihilator]... Dude, are you kidding me?

"The effect of [The Legendary Sword Saint] is activated! When this card is successfully summoned, you can equip as many Equip Cards as possible from your Graveyard to Warrior-Type monsters on your field."

Pointing his arm forward, Gokaido's face was full of confidence: "【Fragile Blade Sword】, 【Greatsword】, 【Divine Sword - Phoenix Sword】... These Equipment Spell Cards that were previously sent to the Graveyard will now return to my field!"

"My ace monster, my Tamashi—the legendary swordsman! Grasp these weapons that have lost their wielders in your hands!!!"

Ding--

As Wu Jietang finished speaking, three greatswords appeared one after another on the field with a soft hum, floating silently in front of him.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, these greatswords attracted each other and eventually merged into a brand new weapon, which was then held in the hands of the legendary sword saint.

The legendary swordsman who wielded the greatsword also experienced a three-stage increase in attack power, which skyrocketed from the original 2600 points to almost double to 5200 points in an instant!

(The Legendary Sword Saint's Attack Power: 2600→4600→4900→5200)

Everyone: "Attack power... it's only 5200?!"

Gokaido: "It's not over yet! I discard a card from my hand and activate the Equip Spell Card again—【Greatsword of Exorcism - Twilight】! Equip it to 【The Legendary Sword Saint】, and in doing so, his attack power will increase by 500 points, and the effects of any monsters destroyed by him will be negated!"

The greatsword, exuding an evil aura, like the previous three greatswords, merged into the weapon in the Sword Saint's hand.

With the final piece of the puzzle in place, the weapon in the hands of the [Legendary Sword Saint] transformed into a forty-meter-long scarlet greatsword!

(The legendary Sword Saint's attack power: 5200...5700)

"Heheheheheheha ...

It went too smoothly, it really went too smoothly!

It was as if someone was helping him play cards; in this duel, he always managed to draw the cards he wanted.

The Legendary Sword Saint has an attack power of 5700, while the X-Boss Cannon, which has the lowest attack power on the field, has an attack power of 1800.

The legendary Sword Saint with divine equipment is an almost perfect being, like an impenetrable wall.

This attack will destroy the monster while dealing 3900 points of damage to Manjoume!

Not only can it undo the damage that Manjoume caused him in the previous round, but it can also reduce Manjoume's own health to the point of near death.

"Attack! The [Legendary Sword Saint] attacks [X-Leader Cannon]! The Demon-Slaying Overlord Slash!!!"

Without hesitation, Gokaido pointed at the four-star monster on the opposite side and gave the attack command to his own Divine Sword Saint.

Upon hearing these words, the "Legendary Sword Saint" immediately picked up his forty-meter-long greatsword and slashed it vertically towards the location of "X-Leader Ganon".

The sharp blade, carrying a strong wind, exuded an unstoppable momentum.

It looked like this attack was about to cleave [X-Leader Cannon] in two.

"Ha... Naive!" Facing the incoming greatsword, in this critical moment, Manjoume stepped forward and stretched out his arm: "Activate the effect of [ABC-Dragon Annihilator]! Discard one card from your hand and banish one card from your opponent's field!"

"...What?!"

"Are you stupid?! This effect can be activated during the opponent's turn!" Having sent one of his own cards to the graveyard as the cost of activating the effect, and taking in Gokaido's expression, Manjoume swung his right arm sharply: "[ABC-Dragon Annihilator], send this arrogant fool to another dimension!"

It must be admitted that times have indeed changed!

Faced with high-tech cannons and missiles, even wielding a forty-meter-long sword would be futile in providing any effective countermeasures.

Just as the greatsword was about to be swung down, a destructive laser cannon from the other side, [ABC-Dragon Annihilator], instantly broke through the sword wind's defenses, sending the greatsword and its wielder together to another dimension in one blow.

It's not just a simple matter of sending someone to the grave; it's a complete exclusion!

The legendary swordsman thus perished with deep resentment.
