Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

"Well done...you did a great job, Half-Bird Dragon!"

Clenching his fists tightly, tears of emotion welling in his eyes, Kenzan, who had witnessed the entire scene, felt a fierce fire ignite in his heart.

If the effect of the Bird Dragon is not activated, this blue Evolution Emperor will be released and sent to the Graveyard, and Yusei will have a powerful monster with an attack power of 3000 on his field.

After activating the Half-Bird Dragon effect, although one counter was lost, it was still a successful trade for Yusei's World Destroyer hand trap.

Although the half-bird dragon has lost its power, it is still alive and can be used as a blank monster with an attack power of 2400, which is better than nothing.

Jianshan felt he had made a profit from this.

At least, he had vaguely glimpsed the disguise on the other side and realized that this guy named Yusei was not a weakling, but a wolf in sheep's clothing!

"Ha... Ineffective and destructive, is that really how it is?"

Having anticipated the current situation, Yusei couldn't help but sigh before placing the [Primal Life Form Nibiru] he was holding into the graveyard.

With a one-for-one trade, Meteorite has essentially completed its basic mission.

"So, Yusei... your performance just now was all an act, right?"

After successfully weathering the crisis, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, and silently giving himself a thumbs-up for his quick thinking, Kenzan's expression began to turn serious.

Even a fool would realize, after being hit by a meteor, that a duelist with such a ridiculous card must be no ordinary person.

Kenzan, who defeated many duelists, could not possibly be an idiot with no emotional intelligence.

Therefore, there is only one explanation.

That is, Yusei's previous performance was all an act!

The purpose was to lower his guard so that we could take the opportunity to gather intelligence and prepare corresponding countermeasures.

"Well... you could say that."

Seeing that his disguise had been seen through, Yusei decided to give up pretending.

After shrugging his shoulders and showing a slightly helpless expression, Yusei's face began to return to its usual state.

With the combined power of the Overlord and the Spirit, Yusei's eyes instantly transformed into a dazzling golden hue.

An invisible aura emanated from his body and spread outwards.

This powerful aura, born from humanity, seemed to subtly overshadow the ace monster of Sword Mountain—the [Ultimate Transmission Terror Beast].

"If your turn is over, then... it's my turn next!"

Raising his left arm and placing it flat on his chest, Yusei gently placed his right hand on top of his deck, and then... slowly closed his eyes.

Kenzan: "?"

Unable to figure out what the other side was up to, Jian Shan and his gang looked bewildered as they stared at the golden Yu Xing, who was now bathed in light and whose appearance had changed drastically compared to before.

What...what's going on?

What's with suddenly closing your eyes during a duel?

Masaka, Yusei... is he planning to give us a live transformation performance?

I haven't even reduced your health points yet?!

How come the second phase has started ahead of schedule?

Wait... something's not right? What's this second phase? What am I even talking about...?

"Judging from this situation, could it be...?!"

Seemingly realizing Yusei's plan, Jaden Yuki, who had placed his arm in front of him to shield himself from the storm sweeping around him, showed a look of sudden realization on his face.

As the ultimate Inka King, favored by the spirits and possessing the power of a tyrant within him, he couldn't help but recall scenes from long ago.

During his duel with the Titans, when he first experienced the cruelty of a dark duel, Yusei... seemed to have fallen into a similar state, transforming into a different personality.

then……

The wandering star began to chant.

"For the duel of the strongest duelists, everything is inevitable!"

"Even the card draw itself can be created by duelists!"

"All light and power! Reside in my right hand, and illuminate the path to hope!"

As these words fell, countless rays of light, just as the words implied, began to converge in Yusei's right palm.

His tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open at that moment.

At this moment, Yusei, unleashing his immense pressure, shouted his final words: "My turn... Flash Draw!!!"

A golden arc of light, carrying an unstoppable force, swept across the void in front of him in an instant.

Holding the brand-new card he had acquired with the power of hope in his hand, Yusei glanced at the front of the card out of the corner of his eye, and a slow smile crept onto his lips.

452 The Counterattack from the Remnant Card (6K)

"【Dinosaur Wrestler - Pankrasin Ceratops】 and 【Ultimate Teleporter Terrorbeast】, one is responsible for destroying cards, and the other can force a flip and send the entire party to the graveyard... So these two troublesome monsters are left?"

"...But it's alright now!"

After the light faded, Yusei, holding the card that brought about change and the hope it held, observed the situation on the field. Under everyone's watchful eyes, he directly slammed the card he had drawn onto the Duel Disk: "Spell Card - [Black Hole] Activated! This card's effect is - destroy all monsters on the field!"

Hmm... That's right. The card that Yusei drew through the Flash Draw was neither the [Pluto Barrier Wave] that could subdue all monsters, nor the [Forbidden Drop] that could achieve a one-for-one trade. Instead, it was the card that affected both sides simultaneously, with its power spreading across the entire field. In a sense, it was the most suitable card to clear the current situation.

Due to the effect of the Field Spell Card "Lost World" activated by Kenzan, there is currently a "Jura Egg Token" with 0 attack and 0 defense on Yusei's field.

Furthermore, as long as this token exists on the field, Yusei cannot target monsters other than tokens as effects.

Under these restrictions, general-purpose cards such as [Lightning Storm] and [Infinite Bubble] cannot meet the activation conditions.

The "Battle of the Two" that meets the conditions can only be activated at the end of the battle phase, which will cause you to miss the opportunity to attack and also leave your opponent with a card.

As for [Hades Barrier Wave]... it can indeed be used to clear the field, but after it is activated, all damage received by Sword Mountain this turn will become 0, thus losing the meaning of the battle.

In conclusion, for Yusei at present, the veteran-level Black Hole is more suitable than the one-sided, all-destroying Lightning Strike.

"Gah! It's actually... a black hole!"

Upon seeing the magic card activated by Yusei, Kenzan's eyes widened in surprise.

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel sad for the sacrifice of [Evolution Emperor - Half-Bird Dragon].

It fought against the meteorite and protected the life of its companion.

But... no sooner had one wave subsided than another arose.

What followed the meteorite was the boundless black hole that swallowed everything.

All life will be drawn into its center and then broken down into the smallest specks of dust.

"Kenzan, accept the wrath of the old guard!" Yusei stretched out his arm forcefully towards the dinosaur herd ahead, his eyes flashing with dazzling light.

Then, a huge black vortex appeared above everyone's heads, absorbing the numerous dinosaurs into it and turning them into nothingness.

The invincible ultimate transmembrane, the Pankrasin Diablos known as the Little Phoenix, the Evolution Emperor who has lost its power, and the little Diablos destined to be blown up...

These monsters that survived the meteorite are now finally facing their fate, being forcibly sent to the graveyard under immense attraction.

"[Little Horned Dragon]'s effect activated... If this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Dinosaur Monster from my Deck!"

Engulfed in the smoke of the explosion, the entire arena emptied. Kenzan cried out in despair, "It's not over yet! It's not over!!!"

"Based on the effect of [Little Horned Dragon], I Special Summon [Jurassic Velociraptor] (Dinosaur/FIRE/Level 4/ATK: 1700/DEF: 1000) from my deck!!!"

It's not the Jurassic period, but a completely new one.

With Jian Shan's shout, a velociraptor with red stripes covering its upper body appeared in front of him, baring its fangs and claws.

"If the [Jurassic Velociraptor] is destroyed while in Attack Position, I can Special Summon 1 monster with 1700 or less ATK and whose name contains the word 'Jurassic' from my Deck."

Pointing to the monster in front of him and explaining its effect, Kenzan continued to speak to Yusei: "Furthermore, since I Special Summoned a new Dinosaur-Type monster, you will now have a new [Jura Egg Token] on your field."

As before, as a new dinosaur appeared, a grayish-white dinosaur egg appeared in front of Yusei.

With an extra, largely useless card on the field, the "Hero's Arrival" ability, which requires specific conditions to activate, is sealed away. Yusei can no longer use that DNA-deep manipulation to summon the lone dark hero, "Masked Hero Dark Claw."

Furthermore, Yusei, affected by this, can no longer target monsters other than Eggs as effects.

"Sword Mountain, your strength is not bad, and your tactical considerations are also quite thorough... However, you made a huge mistake, which is to make me your opponent!"

After tearing off his cowardly facade and revealing his true colors to this arrogant first-year student, Yusei immediately gave him an unforgettable lesson.

A packed exhibition, huh?

Kang brand, right?

Get the hell out of here!!!

"First, I summon [Summoner Aleister] from my hand in attack position, and then activate his effect to search my deck for one [Summoning Spell].

Adjusting his monocle, the white-robed summoner displayed his elegant figure as Yusei moved.

However, a frivolous and mocking smile hung on his face.

"Summoning spell? Is it a Fusion Spell Card?"

Looking at the card that Yusei had retrieved, Kenzan, who had never heard of this card before, couldn't help but ask this question.

“That’s right, as you said… this card is indeed a Fusion Spell Card… and I will use this card to duel with you!”

Approving of Kenzan's wild instincts, Yusei nodded and immediately inserted the card into the back row of his Duel Disk, activating it: "Spell Card [Summoning Magic] activated! According to this card's effect, I can send the Fusion Material Monsters specified on a Fusion Monster Card from my hand to the Graveyard, and Fusion Summon 1 of those Fusion Monsters from my Extra Deck. Furthermore... if a 'Summoned Beast' Fusion Monster is Fusion Summoned, I can also banish monsters from my field and from both my and my opponent's Graveyards as Fusion Material."

Kenzan and his underlings: "What?!...They actually used monsters from the opponent's graveyard as material?!"

Previously, through the effect of the black hole, Yusei sent all the dinosaurs on Kenzan to the graveyard.

Among them are also some cards with light, fire, earth, and dark attributes.

These dinosaurs, sent to the cemetery, will now become Aleister's material, turning into light along with him to summon contracted magical beasts from another world through a magic circle.

"Ha, that's right! The monsters in your graveyard will also become my fusion materials... Based on the effect of the Fusion Spell Card [Summoning Magic], I will banish [Summoner Aleister] from the field and [Ultimate Teleporting Terror] from your graveyard to perform a Fusion Summon!"

The attribute of 【Ultimate Transmission Terror Beast】 is light, so the next summon to appear will also be a light attribute summon.

"Come forth! Chariot of God—[Summoned Beast Merkaba]!!!"
