Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

Therefore, whether she likes it or not, her summoning behavior will be restricted from now on.

This restriction will only be temporarily lifted in her next turn.

"It doesn't matter, I've already achieved my goal!"

Speaking calmly, Asuka raised her right arm and pointed to her graveyard: "At this moment, the effect of [Old God Nuz] activates! If this card is sent to the graveyard, you can target one card on the field and destroy that card!"

"...What? An effect activated in the graveyard?"

Similar to [Shadow Robe], which activates its effect from the hand, [Old God Nutz]'s effect is activated from the graveyard, and therefore is not affected by [Skill Drain] on Manjoume's field.

Once again astonished by Asuka's actions, Manjoume instinctively took a few steps back.

Clean the motor!

This situation is getting a bit bad!

"So, the card I'm going to destroy next is..."

Looking at the three cards remaining in the back row, Asuka was momentarily lost in thought. She was now choosing which card should be destroyed in this situation.

"[Summoning Limiter]...This card also has a restriction on Manjoume..."

"【Skill Drain】...With this card present, monsters on the field cannot activate their effects. It's a rather powerful sticker, and we need to deal with that..."

"And then there's that last face-down card in the back row of the field... If we use the process of elimination, that card should be [Great Sandstorm], whose effect is to destroy two Spell/Trap Cards on the field at the cost of sacrificing the Battle Phase of this turn..."

"Hmm... If I could, I'd like to destroy all three cards, but given the current situation, I can only choose one..."

With a furrowed brow, Asuka made her final choice after careful consideration, raising her arm and pointing at Manjoume: "...The card I want to destroy is that troublesome [Skill Draw] card!"

As Asuka finished speaking, a spear flew out of her grave and shot straight at Manjoume, piercing right through the [Skill Drain] card!

Having lost the negative effects of [Skill Drain], the monsters on the field are also freed from their effects and return to their original form.

"Next, the battle begins. I'll use the [Shadow Robe of Unico] to attack [Thunder King], and then have the [Proclaimer's Shaman] launch a direct attack on Manjoume!"

Following Asuka's command, the [Yoneko's Shadow Robe] immediately launched its spear, piercing through [Rai-Oh] and shattering it into dust.

The seven-colored light from the shaman then came into contact with Wan Zhangmu's body, taking away 500 points of his life.

(Manjoume LP: 3000→2600→2100)

"...Hmph! It doesn't even hurt! Tenjouin, is this all you've got?"

Despite having only half his health remaining and one of his powerful stickers in the backcourt destroyed, Manjoume's face still showed no sign of panic.

He gave Asuka a defiant look: "...Come! Tenjouin, give me more...more damage!"

"...Two cards are laid down, turn over." Ignoring Manjoume's masochistic declaration, Asuka frowned slightly before ending her turn with a face-down card.

Just then, Manjoume across from him smirked and flipped over the last card: "You were careless! Tenjouin!"

"...Huh? Carelessness?"

Asuka unconsciously uttered a questioning sound, as if she had forgotten something.

"Hmph! I'll take care of those two troublesome face-down cards in your back row for you!"

As he said this, Manjoume waved his hand and pressed the activation button on the Duel Disk: "...Trap Card [Great Sandstorm] activated! In exchange for sacrificing my Battle Phase this turn, destroy two Spell/Trap Cards on the field!"

It's now the end of Asuka's turn, and Manjoume shouldn't be able to launch an attack at this time anyway.

Therefore, the side effect of this trap card is essentially non-existent. At this moment, Manjoume can directly trade one for two, eliminating the two cards that Asuka had hidden in the back row!

With a grand vision and an open strategy, he subtly drew Asuka into his rhythm, causing her to unconsciously ignore other information...

It was precisely because of this precise timing that Manjoume activated the hidden ambush card in the back row at this moment.

"【Messenger of Harmony】 and 【Disciple of Purity】, is that it? As expected... these are two rather troublesome face-down cards! Hmph~~ Tenjouin! Just as I said, the light of truth shines upon everything in the world, and I already know in advance what you will do next!"

The effect of 【Messenger of Peace】 is: During the turn this card is activated, your monsters cannot be destroyed by battle, and all damage received is reduced to zero.

The effect of [Pure Disciple] is to destroy the monster when the opponent activates its monster effect. In addition, this card has a prerequisite: there must be a monster with 1000 or less ATK on the field to activate this card.

Both of these cards were somewhat troublesome for Manjoume.

Therefore, looking at the card being swept up by the giant tornado, a smug look flashed across Manjoume's face.

This one-for-two exchange really left him speechless!

After clearing out the two somewhat troublesome backline cards, the only thing he needed to deal with next was Asuka's [Yoneko's Shadow Dress] with 2300 attack power on the field.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Due to the effect of the Continuous Spell Card "Hell White", Manjoume can still only duel with his cards revealed, so the cards he draws from his deck are seen by everyone.

"【Pot of Greed】? Heh... Perfect..." Looking at the card he had just drawn, Manjoume's lips curled into a smile, and he activated it without hesitation: "Spell Card 【Pot of Greed】Activated! Based on this card's effect, I draw two cards from my deck!"

As he finished speaking, Manjoume added two new cards to his hand.

Naturally, the information on these cards was also seen by everyone on and off the stage.

[Level Demotion], [Divine Declaration]

These are the two cards that Manjoume drew from his deck using the effect of [Pot of Greed].

A magic card related to level, and an omnipotent old god card.

Asuka: "...!!!"

"...Heh heh heh! Here it comes! I activate the Spell Card [Level Down] from my hand. According to this card's effect, I will reduce the level of [Armed Dragon LV5] in my hand by 2 stars until the end of this turn!"

With a wild laugh, Manjoume activated the magic card he had just acquired.

With the activation of this magic card, the level of the [Armed Dragon LV5] that was originally in Manjoume's hand has changed. Now it is a Level 3 and can be summoned directly from the hand without tribute.

"...Appear, my monster! I summon [Armed Dragon LV5] in attack stance (Attack Power: 2400)!"

A mature-stage Armed Dragon, its body adorned with massive iron spikes and sharp teeth, appeared on the field as Banjou made his move. This monster, with an attack power of 2400, had an attack power exactly 100 points higher than Asuka's "Yoneko's Shadow Robe".

It's easy to imagine that Manjoume will then retaliate accordingly.

"Oh no, Manjoume is going to retaliate!" Seeing the Armed Dragon appear on Manjoume's field, Yusei couldn't help but worry about Asuka.

Today's Manjou is completely different from how he used to be.

It seems that, just as he himself said, after joining the Society of Light and feeling the greatness of the light, he has gained the ability to foresee the future and can see the outcome of this duel.

The cards he prepared today were, to varying degrees, a deliberate tactic aimed at Asuka...

Under layers of constraints, Asuka was unable to unleash her full potential.

"Hahahaha! Tenjouin... This time, it's my turn!!!"

With a smirk, Manjoume immediately gave the attack command to the monster in front of him: "...[Armed Dragon LV5] (Attack Power: 2400) Attack [Declarator's Shaman] (Attack Power: 500)! Take this, Armed Blast!!!"

Naturally, Manjoume did not hesitate to choose Asuka, the priest with the lowest attack power on the field, as his target.

Accompanied by a faint rumble of thunder, [Armed Dragon LV5] charged towards [The Proclaimer's Shaman], punching her away into the distance, leaving the beautiful girl to turn into golden particles of light.

He showed no mercy to his girlfriend, and his ruthless gambling skills made him single by choice!

"Well……"

The monster was destroyed by the beast that showed no mercy to the woman. Asuka, who was affected by the wind pressure generated by the Armed Dragon's attack, raised her arm to protect her chest.

(Asuka LP: 3400→1500)

Yusei: "Asuka... are you alright?"

Tenjouin Fubuki: "How could you... lay a hand on such a pitiful and weak girl? You did something you shouldn't have done! Manjoume!"

Junko: "Wow! Fubuki, you're so kind..."

Momoe: "But this is just a duel, right?"

The audience members showed various expressions after witnessing Wan Zhangmu's actions.

505 Blackened? Whiteened! (8K)

While subconsciously criticizing Manjoume's actions, everyone was also pondering the outcome of the upcoming match between Asuka and Manjoume.

Clearly, under the deliberate targeting of Manjou, who seemed to have divine assistance, Asuka was unable to unleash her full potential.

From the start of the duel until now, she has been in an extremely passive state.

With powerful stickers like [Skill Draw] and [Summon Limiter] in the back row of Manjoume, [Ryuki Takumi] simply has no opportunity to activate.

After Asuka managed to resolve the issue using the [Shadow Robe] chain, her resources were almost exhausted, leaving her unable to form a strong defensive line for the time being...

This gave Wan Zhangmu an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

"...At this moment, I activate the effect of my monster!"

As he destroyed Asuka's "Declarator's Witch" and ended the Battle Phase, Manjoume simultaneously raised his arm and activated the effect of the monster on the field: "During the End Phase of the turn a monster is destroyed by battle, send this card on the field to the Graveyard to activate this effect; Special Summon 5 "Armed Dragon LV7" from your hand or Deck!!!"

"...Appear! The pride of Northern Academy—the fully-formed [Armed Dragon LV7]!!!"

"--roar!!!"

Evolving again from its LV5 mature stage, Armed Dragon becomes its LV7 complete form.

With a tremendous dragon roar, an armed dragon monster, its body covered in dense lightning and armor and blades that almost covered its teeth, appeared before Manjoume, accompanied by the light of evolution.

Heading towards Asuka's location, [Armed Dragon LV7] extended its right claw and slammed it onto the floor.

As a result of its powerful strike, the surrounding ground began to shake violently and uncontrollably.
