Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

Liang, this is clearly my turn, why are you the one who's causing the explosion?

"Ha! [Electronic Terminator Dragon] is an old friend of mine, but for victory, for reaching a higher realm, I will surpass it here!"

A fierce aura, accompanied by a dazzling white light, erupted unrestrainedly from the center of Hell Caesar's body.

Dressed in black, Hell's Caesar grinned smugly as he raised his arm and pointed to the top of his head:

"...Next, I will summon a completely new form of electronic dragon!"

"Special Summon, emerge! My newfound power—[Cyber ​​Eternal Dragon]!!!"

-

【Electronic Eternal Dragon】

(Mechanical/Light/10-star/Attack: 2800/Defense: 4000)

Blending/Effects:

"Cyber ​​Dragon" monster + 2 Machine-type monsters

Accompanied by the activation of a trap card and the shout of Hell Caesar, an Eastern dragon appeared, its body covered in platinum steel, with faint lightning crackling across its surface.

Its massive body stretched out, almost covering the entire ceiling of the dojo.

Just as its name signifies "eternity," this is proof that Ryo Marufuji has surpassed the [Cyber ​​Terminator Dragon] after becoming the Hell Caesar.

The attack and defense stats of [Cyber ​​Eternal Dragon] are exactly the opposite of those of [Cyber ​​Terminator Dragon].

To some extent, this also indicates that Ryo Marufuji has embarked on a path completely opposite to that of the past.

He used to respect his opponents and every duel.

But now, all he craves is victory, and even greater power!

He never wanted to experience that feeling of powerless defeat again!

"Hey! Samejima Master, break through this defense, get past them and defeat me!"

The strongest spear, Cyber ​​Ogre 2, and the strongest shield, Cyber ​​Infinite Dragon, these two cyber-style fusion monsters, appeared on Principal Samejima's field during his turn, at the call of Hell Kaiser.

The Cyber ​​Ogre 2, which possesses the ability to absorb the opponent's attack power during battle, undoubtedly displays an attack stance.

Meanwhile, the Cyber ​​Dragon, located atop Hellfire's head, is coiled up in a defensive stance.

After summoning the two new monsters, Hell Caesar also shouted a provocative shout at Principal Samejima opposite him.

"...I summon [Cyber ​​Superman] in attack stance (Attack Power: 1200)!"

In the first main phase, after a brief moment of surprise, Principal Samejima summons a new monster from his hand.

Because of the existence of the [Electronic Barrier Dragon], it will be unable to cause effective damage to Hell Caesar. In order to avoid this, he plans to summon a new monster to have it collide with the [Electronic Barrier Dragon].

"The goal is the same, but the timing is different... Ryo! Let me use the monster in your graveyard too!" Looking at the monster standing in front of Hell Caesar, Principal Samejima smiled faintly and held a card in his hand.

"...Heh, no wonder it's a teachers' college, it seems we're thinking the same thing."

Seemingly having guessed his opponent's plan, Hell Caesar crossed his arms and let out a disdainful "heh".

"...Go! Quick-Play Spell Card [Scrap Fusion] activated! I banish three [Cyber ​​Dragons] from your Graveyard to perform a Fusion Summon!"

Since your monster was defeated, according to the principle of reciprocity, you should make the other side experience something similar!

Principal Samejima drew a card from his hand that was identical to the one Hell Caesar had activated before, his eyes narrowing as he said, "Ryo, since you no longer need [Cyber ​​End Dragon], give it back to me for now!"

Hell Caesar: "..."

As Principal Samejima activated his Spell Card, Cyber ​​End Dragon automatically flew out of Ryo Marufuji's Extra Deck and into his hand.

Principal Samejima, having received the card, reached out and slammed [Cyber-End Dragon] directly onto his Duel Disk: "...Come on! Fusion Summon! [Cyber-End Dragon]!!!"

A three-headed mechanical dragon, representing destruction and end, spread its silver steel wings and appeared on Principal Samejima's field amidst the light of a fusion summon.

This old friend of Hell Caesar, his trusted ace monster, has now returned to his mentor's hands and is now on the opposite side.

"【Electronic Terminator Dragon】...Do you intend to rebel against me?"

"……Roar!!!"

Raising his head, Hell Caesar uttered a soul-searching question to his old friend.

The only response he received was a dragon's roar tinged with helplessness.

Brother, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that the current situation doesn't allow it!

"...Battle begins! I'm attacking [Cyber ​​Superhuman] (Attack Power: 1200) against [Cyber ​​Barrier Dragon] (Attack Power: 800)! So! Ryo, activate your effect and nullify my attack! Otherwise, you'll suffer the corresponding battle damage!"

As planned, upon entering the battle phase, Principal Samejima first commanded his lowest-attack-power character, [Cyber ​​Superman], to collide with [Cyber ​​Barrier Dragon], intending to negate its once-per-turn attack nullification effect.

Once Hell Caesar chooses to activate his effect and nullify the attack, what will follow is a divine wrath from the [Electronic Ogre] (Attack Power: 8200).

571 Arrival, Cyber ​​Dragon Infinity!

"Heh, I choose not to activate the effect."

"..."

Not easily fooled by Principal Samejima, Caesar, having seen through the current situation, calmly announced his final decision.

After that, the [Electronic Barrier Dragon] was destroyed by the attack of the [Electronic Superman] and sent to the graveyard, while Hell Caesar also received the corresponding damage value, which is 400 points of combat damage.

(Hell Caesar LP: 4000→3600)

"Hmm... so it really isn't that simple after all?"

Seeing that his plan had been exposed, Principal Samejima frowned slightly.

Although he successfully harmed his former apprentice, that was all; if he wanted to go any further, the difficulty would increase exponentially.

If Hell Caesar had activated the effect of [Electronic Barrier Dragon] just now, he would have inevitably targeted the [Electronic Barrier Dragon] with the lowest attack power, causing the [Electronic Ogre] to attack it.

Since the skill was still on cooldown, the [Electronic Barrier Dragon] that was attacked was naturally destroyed, and Hell Caesar also suffered damage exceeding his maximum health, thus losing the duel.

However, now that the plan has failed, these ideas can no longer be realized and can only remain as dreams.

"...Then, my attack continues. Let [Cyber ​​Ogre] attack [Cyber ​​Ogre 2]!"

"...Don't be afraid, face it! Charge! [Cyber ​​Cannibal 2]!!!"

Both sides simultaneously issued attack commands to their respective monsters.

At the command of Hell Caesar and Principal Samejima, the bodies of the berserker-like [Cyber ​​Ogre] and [Cyber ​​Ogre 2] collided in a simple and straightforward manner.

Although the Cyber ​​Ogre is small in size, its attack power is doubled twice after receiving the effect of the card with the same name, becoming an extremely terrifying value.

The small body contains immense power that is hard for ordinary people to imagine.

On the other hand, although the base attack power of [Electronic Ogre 2] is not as high as that of its initial form, it has the ability to absorb attack power, which theoretically makes it more threatening than its opponent.

However, it didn't have many opportunities to increase its power; its first opponent was an ultimate ogre capable of killing gods...

Therefore, it can only do its best to minimize the harm to the controller.

"...[Cyber ​​Ogre 2]'s effect activated! If this card battles, its ATK increases by half the value of your opponent's monster!"

Narrowing his eyes, Hell Caesar activated the Fusion Monster's effect.

As a layer of purple flames appeared on its body, [Electronic Ogre 2]'s attack power increased by half, which is an increase of 4100 points!

(【Electronic Ogre 2】 Attack Power: 2600→6700)

After a brief stalemate, [Cyber ​​Ogre 2] was ultimately unable to prevail and was helplessly knocked to the ground by Principal Samejima's [Cyber ​​Ogre] Ultimate Form, turning into golden specks of light amidst a loud explosion.

The monster, Hell Caesar, suffered damage to its health, which was reduced by 1500 points.

(Hell Caesar LP: 3600→2100)

"...It's not over yet! I'm attacking [Cyber ​​Dragon Nova] with [Cyber ​​Dragon Terminator]!"

"—Take this, Eternal Evolutionary Flame!!!"

The third wave of attacks followed, this time targeting the Cyber ​​Dragon Nova, which had lost its Xyz Material.

The attack power of [Cyber-End Dragon] is the same as the defense power of [Cyber-Eternal Dragon], so there is no point in fighting it.

Therefore, Principal Samejima will inevitably shift his attack target to the [Cyber ​​Dragon Nova], which has lower attack power.

The second effect of [Electronic Dragon Nova] is—

Once per turn, you can banish 1 "Cyber ​​Dragon" from your hand and the field. This card gains 2100 ATK until the End Phase. This effect can also be activated during your opponent's turn.

However, with no Cyber ​​Dragons on the field and the three existing Cyber ​​Dragons already removed by the effect of Scrap Fusion, this effect can no longer be activated.

The [Cyber ​​Terminator Dragon] with an attack power of 4000 is enough to destroy the [Cyber ​​Dragon Nova] with an attack power of 2100, and then deal 1900 combat damage to Hell Caesar.

After this battle, Hell Caesar's health will be reduced to 200 points, just a hair's breadth away from the state of being a dying candle!

As a teacher trainee, his health points are still at full capacity.

Theoretically speaking, this duel, in which he forcibly brought his misguided disciple back from the wrong path, would undoubtedly be his victory!

"--boom!!!"

Just as Principal Samejima had predicted, the torrents of light and flame erupting from the three heads of the [Electronic Terminator Dragon] instantly engulfed the red [Electronic Dragon Nova], successfully inflicting another significant amount of damage on Hell Caesar.

After receiving this blow from an old friend, he must have recalled all the memories of his past training here.

With this thought in mind, Principal Samejima looked in the direction of Hell Caesar, who was engulfed by flames.

(Hell Caesar LP: 2100→200)

"...I'll end my turn like this."

"Based on the effect of [Cyber ​​Superman], as long as this monster is on the field, I can confirm the card my opponent has drawn."
