Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

As he moved, the Mimic opened its huge mouth and sucked the four cards from Yusei's deck into its mouth, which was connected to the graveyard.

"Hehehe... Yusei, you must be feeling very heartbroken to have lost four cards at once, right?"

Extending his right hand, X combed his bangs back from his forehead, thinking he had gained the upper hand, and couldn't help but let out a smug laugh.

At this moment, he shed his previous gentlemanly disguise and reverted to the ferocious look he had when he was tormenting the beauty under the moon.

Or perhaps, this is his true nature.

In short, X, displaying the exaggerated facial expressions characteristic of duelists, occasionally let out bursts of strange laughter.

"No, that's not the case."

Yusei shook his head slightly, then tapped his Duel Disk with a smile: "Actually, X... you did me a huge favor!"

"...Nani?"

Seeing the calm expression on Yusei's face, X's smile froze on his face as well.

Feeling uneasy and uncertain, he subconsciously looked at the mimic chest in front of him.

Could it be... that there was something I missed just now?

No, not possible!

I'm a professional player, a specialist. How could I possibly make such a basic mistake?

This boy named Yusei must be deliberately trying to trick me, playing mind games with me!

"Hmph! You think I'd believe your nonsense? Yusei... You may look calm on the outside, but inside you're actually panicking, aren't you?"

Having made a firm deduction in his mind, X pointed in Yusei's direction and expressed his guess: "Talk is cheap, show me what you've got!"

Yusei: "...?"

Slowly typing out a question mark, Yusei looked up at the top of the cave.

After mentally processing X's thoughts and roughly understanding his words, Yusei couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You don't believe me? Well then, I'll do as you wish and show you!"

Yusei glanced at X with pity, then waved his hand, activating the effects of the cards that had been sucked away by the Mimic: "The effects of [Tearful Song Tribe - Little Mermaid], [Tearful Song Tribe - Mermaid of the Mermaid], [Shadow Dragon], and [Ancient Guardian Argento] activate simultaneously!"

Multiple chain sounds, accompanied by chain effects, appeared on Yusei's field.

Whether it was a coincidence or destiny, in any case... the four cards that were sucked away by the Mimic were all monster cards with the effect of a dying word.

The mermaid ladies of the Tearful Song tribe can perform Fusion Summoning using monsters from the Graveyard as materials when sending cards to the Graveyard, while Shaddoll Dragon can destroy one Spell/Trap Card on the field, and Ancient Guardian Argento can send five cards from the top of both players' decks to the Graveyard by triggering the Graveyard effect again.

These cards, all activating their effects simultaneously, surged in Yusei's graveyard, showing signs of breaking through the soil.

"What...what happened?!"

Unable to comprehend the situation before him, X's smile instantly transformed into one of shock and fear, and he instinctively took a half-step back.

As he scanned the flickering lights around him in fear, large beads of sweat welled up on his forehead and dripped onto the ground beneath his feet.

"Chain reversal: I'll activate the [Shadowdow] Graveyard Sending effect last in the chain! Therefore, its effect will be processed with the highest priority!"

Raising his arm, Yusei pointed to another face-down card in X's back row: "Activate the effect of [Shadow Dragon], destroy that face-down card!"

Black threads swept from the depths of the graveyard toward X's face card.

In the blink of an eye, the card was flipped up and turned into fragments in mid-air.

At that moment, Yusei also saw the detailed information of that face-down card.

-

[Magic Cylinder]

Effect: When an opponent's monster declares an attack, you can target 1 attacking monster. Negate that attacking monster's attack and inflict damage to your opponent equal to that monster's ATK.

-

Magic Cylinder is a trigger-type trap card that rivals Exalted Power. It can negate the opponent's monster's attack and inflict damage equal to that monster's ATK.

This card can often play an unexpected role in crucial situations.

For example, if Yusei intends to target X's Trap Disruptor, X will activate this card without hesitation and deflect Yusei's attack directly!

"Heh... a [magic cylinder], is that it? How dangerous!"

Despite saying it was dangerous, Yusei's face showed no sign of panic.

In any case, X could no longer stop his continued unfolding.

Therefore, the outcome of this duel is no longer in doubt.

"Next... the effect of [Tears of Elegy - Little Mermaid] activates! If this card is sent to the Graveyard by a card effect, you can activate this effect. The Fusion Material Monsters listed on a Fusion Monster Card, including those in the Graveyard, are returned to the bottom of their owners' Deck in any order from your hand, field, and Graveyard. Fusion Summon 1 of those Fusion Monsters from your Extra Deck."

"...I'm returning the [Elegy of the Pearl-Tear Tribe - Little Mermaid] and [Elemental HERO Neos] from my Graveyard to my Deck for a Fusion Summon! Come forth! [Elemental HERO Neos]!!!"

【Elemental Heroes: Valiant New Universe Warriors】

(Warrior/Light/7-star/Attack: 2500/Defense: 2000)

Effects/Blending:

"Elemental HERO Neos" + Effect Monsters of 4 stars or lower

This card cannot be Special Summoned without a Fusion Summon.

①: This card gains 100 ATK for each "Neo Sci-Fi" monster and "HERO" monster in your Graveyard.

②: When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle: You can activate this effect. Add 1 Spell/Trap Card with "Elemental HERO Neos" in its name from your Deck to your hand.

-

Donning the enhanced armor, the Neo-Universe warrior, whose blue light on his chest had turned green, arrived in front of Yusei in a battle stance.

Although the attack power has not changed, it is still the standard 2500-point protagonist ace monster template.

However, it has become an Effect Monster, which can increase its attack power based on the number of Hero Monsters in the Graveyard.

"It's not over yet! I'll continue by activating the effect of [Tears of Elegy - Mermaid of the Pearl Tribe] once per turn. If this card is sent to the Graveyard by a card effect, you can activate this effect. The Fusion Material Monsters listed on a Fusion Monster Card, including those in the Graveyard, are returned to the bottom of their owners' Deck in any order from your hand, field, or Graveyard. Fusion Summon 1 of those Fusion Monsters from your Extra Deck."

"...I'll return the [Tears of Elegy Mermaid] and [Shadowdome] from my graveyard to my deck and use them as materials for a second Fusion Summon!"

521 Since we can't be friends, let's become each other's nemesis!

"...Apostle of the Dark Shadow, appear here to obscure the light of the Divine Star Tree! Fusion Summon! Come forth! [Shadowbringer Midrash] (Attack Power: 2200)!!!"

Waving his arms wildly, Yusei called out the woman's name.

As his voice faded, a flash of black light appeared in the cave.

Accompanied by this light, the corrupted priestess Vinda, riding the shadow-formed wind dragon Star-Purao, appeared on Yusei's field, controlling countless threads.

As she appeared, an invisible pressure spread out instantly, enveloping the entire arena and thus blocking the limit on the number of Special Summoning attempts.

Next, under Xiaomi's influence, the two sides that were suppressed could only perform a maximum of one Special Summon per turn.

As for things like massive exhibitions, those are just a pipe dream now that Xiaomi has entered the scene.

"...【Shadowy Midrash】? What exactly is this monster?"

Adjusting his glasses, X, a professional gamer, instinctively felt a sense of foreboding.

From his first glimpse of Xiaomi, he seemed to have caught a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of that boundless abyss...

"【Shaddoll Midrash】cannot be destroyed by card effects. As long as she is on the field, each player can only Special Summon a monster once per turn. Furthermore, if she is sent to the Graveyard, I can add one 【Shaddoll】Spell/Trap Card from my Graveyard to my hand..."

Looking at Xiaomi in front of him, Yusei felt a sense of reliability spreading through his chest, and explained the monster's effects to X, who was seeing Xiaomi for the first time.

Then, he stretched out his arm again and continued the chain: "According to the effect of [Ancient Guardian Argento], since it was sent from the hand to the graveyard, both players will choose 5 cards from the top of their decks to send to the graveyard... And if [Reversal of the Realm and the Underworld] is in my graveyard, there will be a follow-up effect, which will allow me to choose 5 cards from the top of either my deck or my opponent's deck to send to the graveyard."

Unfortunately, Yusei's graveyard did not contain "Reversal of the Real and the Underworld," so he was unable to place this trap card in the graveyard. Therefore, the subsequent effects of "Ancient Guardian Argento" could not be activated.

However, even so, it is enough for the current situation.

"What did you say???"

"...It actually sends both players' decks to the graveyard simultaneously???"

X, who relies on deck-destroying tactics to annoy his opponents, is the first player I've seen Yusei play with such a reckless and shameless style.

Shocked by his actions, X couldn't help but feel a sense of regret.

wipe……

This kid named Yusei seems completely unafraid of his deck-reduction tactics!

What should we do?

The compatibility is so bad, there's no way to fight!

If I had known it would turn out like this, I wouldn't have come today!

"...Send all the cards in your deck to the graveyard!"

With a urging sound, Yusei reached out and sent the top five cards of his deck to the graveyard one by one. Although he didn't draw a powerful spell card like "Neighborhood Grass Cutting", he achieved a similar result by using the graveyard-filling effect of the Earth Angel.

After gritting his teeth, X had no choice but to send the top five cards of his deck to the graveyard.

Unlike Yusei, the cards he sent to the graveyard didn't have any final effect; once they were lost, they were simply lost, and it was a huge loss.

"Heh...it seems the god of fate is on my side!"

After looking at the cards he had just sent to the Graveyard, Yusei's lips slowly curled into a smile: "...This turn I can only perform one more Special Summon, so...I'll activate the effect of the [Tearful Lament Siren Mermaid] that I just sent to the Graveyard—This effect can only be activated if this card is sent to the Graveyard by an effect. The Fusion Material Monsters listed on a Fusion Monster Card, including those in the Graveyard, are returned to the bottom of their respective Deck from their hand, field, and Graveyard in any order, and 1 of those Fusion Monsters is Fusion Summoned from the Extra Deck."

X: "What... not again?"

Watching Yusei's frantic storytelling, X felt his composure crumbling.

If Yusei keeps telling stories, he'll probably just pull out the screws and run away on the spot...

Yusei: "Don't worry, this is my final move! Using the effect of the Siren Mermaid, I will return the [Tears of Elegy - Siren Mermaid], [Tears of Elegy - Renohart], and [Tears of Elegy - Little Mermaid] currently in my Graveyard to my Deck, and use them as materials for a Fusion Summon!"

Returning the three cards from his graveyard to his deck, Yusei then pulled a Fusion Monster card from his Extra Deck and slammed it onto his Duel Disk: "...Come forth! The evil god of the Pearl World—[Pearl Tears Elegy Tribe - Kaledorhat]!!!"
