Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

Next, the moment when the true king of hell will be born will arrive!

"...No matter what form it takes, it doesn't matter how it is, I just want to win, and for that... I'm willing to risk everything!" With a tangible flame burning in his eyes, Marufuji Ryo spoke his determination in Inukai's direction.

"Ha... It's no use. No matter how much you struggle, it's all in vain!"

With a cold laugh, Inukai genuinely disdained Marufuji Ryo's words.

“I know… I finally realize it now. Ever since I lost that duel with Edward, I’ve been in a state of confusion…”

"In my past view, as long as I respected my opponent in a duel, as long as I could do that, winning or losing didn't matter to me..."

As if no one else was around, Ryo Marufuji spoke his mind, raising his head and confronting his own heart for the first time: "But, all of that is wrong! I crave victory..."

"Inukai! I will take victory from you and..." A powerful fighting spirit emanated from Marufuji Ryo's body and spread outwards.

At this moment, Ryo Marufuji seemed to have transformed back into the powerful and influential Emperor Caesar of Duel Academy...

"Well……!!!"

Stunned by Ryo Marufuji's current frenzied state, Inukai, feeling a sense of fear, instinctively took a few steps back.

Then, realizing this, Inukai's face showed a hint of annoyance.

You damned stray dog, how dare you spout nonsense at me! I'll tear your stinking mouth apart!

"...Trap Card activated! [Cry of the Living Dead]! Based on this card's effect, I Special Summon a monster from my Graveyard!"

Revealing the face-down card that had been lying in wait on the field since the first turn, Ryo Marufuji resolutely activated its effect: "Resurrect me from the Graveyard! [Primal Cyber ​​Dragon]!!!"

Inukai: "What...it's the Primal Cyber ​​Dragon?"

Despite having the chance to revive the [Cyber ​​Terminator Dragon], Ryo Marufuji chose this monster, which is theoretically the most useless...

What exactly is he planning to do?

Ryo Marufuji: "Next, I activate the Spell Card [Overload Fusion] from my hand! Banish the Fusion Material Monsters listed on a Machine-Type DARK Fusion Monster Card from my field or Graveyard, and Fusion Summon that Fusion Monster from my Extra Deck!!!"

Inukai: "So... they're using monsters from the graveyard as fusion materials?"

"...I banished the 'Primal Cyber ​​Dragon,' which I was using as the 'Cyber ​​Dragon' card on the field, along with all the Machine-Type monsters previously sent to the Graveyard, to perform a Ultimate Overload Fusion!!!"

Holding all the monster cards in his graveyard, including "Cyber ​​Ender Dragon," and "Primal Cyber ​​Dragon" on his Duel Disk, Ryo Marufuji, his eyes flashing with madness, threw them away, letting them flutter and scatter in front of him.

"Look closely... this is my struggle to survive!!!"

"...Fusion Summon! Descend! [Chimera Overload Dragon]!!!"

Those who were sent to the cemetery, those who made a brief appearance and then disappeared, those who left with regret and remorse...

These machine-type monsters, under the effect of the Fusion Spell Card, have now merged into one.

Embracing its wielder's thirst for victory, the Cyber ​​Dragon's attribute shifted from light to darkness. As it fell into darkness, it also gained the great power to change everything!

Before the astonished eyes of the crowd, the Overloaded Fusion Dragon, with multiple heads like a chimera from mythology, appeared on Marufuji Ryo's field, exuding an indescribable power.

That enormous body, stretching as far as the eye could see, almost shattered the cage that bound the two people's freedom...

-

【Chimeric Overload Dragon】

(Mechanical/Dark/9-star/Attack: ?/Defense: ?)

Effects/Blending:

"Cyber ​​Dragon" + 1 or more Machine-type monsters.

This monster cannot be Special Summoned except by Fusion Summon.

When this card is successfully Fusion Summoned, all other cards on your field are sent to the Graveyard.

This card's original ATK and DEF become the sum of the number of Fusion Material Monsters x 800.

This card can attack your opponent's monsters as many times as the number of Fusion Material Monsters.

-

"The attack power of [Chimera Overload Dragon] is... 800 points equal to the number of monsters used as fusion materials. There were 6 monsters banished just now, so its attack power and defense power are... 4800 points!!!"

(【Chimera Overload Dragon】Attack Power: 0→4800)

Inukai: "Attack power...it's 4800!!!"

Ryo Marufuji: "...Battle has begun! [Chimera Overload Dragon] attacks [Composite Slime]!!! Evolve into Final Flame!!!"

Having finished his maneuver, Marufuji Ryo almost roared as he gave the attack command to Inukai's monster.

As Marufuji Ryo finished speaking, one of the dragon heads of the [Chimera Overload Dragon] immediately raised, and a beam of light carrying a destructive aura shot towards the location of the [Composite Slime].

Bombarded by the flames, the yellow slime exploded and scattered all over the ground.

(Dog feed LP: 15000→11700)

"Ughhhhhhh...!!!"

This time, it was Inukai's turn to suffer the pain caused by the damage amplification device.

The [Composite Slime] has an attack power of 1500, while the [Chimera Overload Dragon] has an attack power of 4800. After taking this attack, Inu-Ki also suffered 3300 damage to its HP.

Fortunately, Inukai's base health was high enough, and he also had a certain tolerance for the impact of the red lightning. So even though he suffered a lot of damage, he only instinctively howled in pain for a while before quickly adjusting his physical condition.

"It's...no problem!" Maintaining his composure and pride, Inukai immediately replied, "At this moment, the effect of [Composite Slime] activates! When this card is destroyed by battle, Special Summon three WATER [Slime Monster Tokens] (ATK: 500) to my field!"

The scattered bodies of the composite slime writhed on the ground, and then, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, transformed into three ferocious-looking slime monsters.

"Next, I activate the Trap Card [Trap Trip]! Based on this card's effect, I select one Trap Card from my Graveyard and add it to my hand!!!"

"Heh... [Acid Corrosion - Mechanical Virus], is that it?"

"That's right! This is the card I chose!" A smug look on his face, Inukai laughed loudly, "Hahahaha!!! Next turn will be your death day!!!"

"That is... if you have another round."

"...Nani?"

Seeing the upturned corners of Marufuji Ryo's mouth, Inukai suddenly had a bad feeling.

Is it possible...

Is it really as he said, that he will meet his end in this round?

With three [Slime Monster Tokens] still on my field and a whopping 11700 life points remaining... how could I possibly lose under these circumstances?

What a joke!

You incomprehensible madman!

If you leave even one slime monster behind, I will send it to the graveyard as the cost of activating a trap card in the next turn, so that you can once again experience the destructive effects of the Corrosive Virus!

"...You'll never have another chance to activate that troublesome targeted trap card!"

Making this announcement, Marufuji Ryo raised his arm high and pointed to Inukai's location.

In his eyes, there was only a pure desire for victory, and he was willing to sacrifice anything to achieve it.

"【Chimera Overload Dragon】can attack up to the number of Fusion Material Monsters in the same battle cycle... and after launching one attack just now, it still has up to five more attack attempts!"

"Varied……"

"...Impossible! How could this happen?!"

"It's over! The Final Flame of Evolution... Five-hit combo!!! Vanish under the impact of this deadly five-hit combo!!! Ahahahahahahaha!!!"

What Inukai saw in his final moments was five dragon heads that opened up in his direction at the same time.

As his cry of alarm escaped his lips, the destructive aura of the apocalypse engulfed all the monsters on his field, including himself...

(Dog feed LP: 11700→0)

Amidst Ryo Umaru's maniacal laughter, the duel that took place in the underground world came to an end!

A fierce wind arose, and a violent storm raged.

Under the five-hit combo of [Chimera Overload Dragon], everything around was thrown into chaos. The cage that had originally bound Marufuji Ryo's freedom shattered at this moment, turning into a pile of scrap metal, no longer able to perform its original function...

Having finally gained his freedom, Marufuji Ryo did not rush to take any steps.

After glancing around at the disheveled men and women who were casting fearful glances at him, a pleased smile appeared on his lips.

Honors are reserved for the strong!

The law of the jungle—survival of the fittest—is the truth of this world and an unchanging rule.

"Hellish Kaiser Ryou... This is the ultimate monster born from the underworld!!!"

Beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead as Montgomery Saruyama got up from the ground. Looking at Marufuji Ryo, who stood alone in the center of the dueling arena, standing proudly like a king, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

490 The movements of all parties

"...Amazing! Absolutely amazing! Absolutely overwhelmingly powerful!!!"

"This is a power I've never seen before; it's an absolute, one-sided annihilation!"

After that, having survived the duels in the underworld and finally found his purpose in life, Ryo Marufuji returned to the big stage of professional dueling.

Relying on the demonic power awakened during the duels in the underworld, Ryo Marufuji avenged his previous defeats, brutally killing each of his former opponents and causing them great physical and mental harm.

Seeing Marufuji Ryo dressed in a black trench coat, surrounded by a sinister mist, looking like a ghost, even the seasoned host couldn't help but tremble slightly in his commentary: "Ahhhhh...!!! So strong! Marufuji Ryo, who returned from hell, has been resurrected here!!!"

"Marufuji Ryo... no! He should be called Hell Caesar Ryo! Although I don't know what happened during this time, his immense power is undeniable!"

"Now, even Ed Phoenix probably wouldn't be a match for him, right?"

Watching Marufuji Ryo, who had decisively defeated his opponent and then turned away with a cold expression, the host couldn't help but utter this heartfelt sigh.

His thoughts also represent the sentiments of the vast majority of viewers...

……

...

During the time when Ryo Marufuji awakened as the Hell Caesar, Yusei and Jaden Yuki, who had experienced a long cosmic drift, also safely returned to Earth after waving goodbye to Vesas.
