Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

Jaden Yuki, whose attack failed to reach Manjou, and whose monster was destroyed by a trap card, could only regretfully set up a defensive formation and end his turn.

"My turn, draw a card!"

"First, I summon the Guardian of the White Knights in defense mode (Defense: 2000)."

With a smirk, Manjoume tapped his Duel Disk and said, "Next, I'll activate the effect of the second 'White Knights Swordsman' that was sent to the Graveyard earlier, increasing the ATK of all my 'White Knights' monsters by 300!"

[White Knights Spearmen] (Attack Power: 1800→2100)

"Attack! The White Knights' Lancer attacks Disruption Green! Jaden, defending is pointless. Next... you will suffer piercing damage from the monster!"

Disruptive Green: "...Oh no! I'm going to be killed!"

Using his spear as a javelin, Jaden Yuki hurled it at the source of the disturbance, piercing through the White Knight's spearman and inflicting another 1100 points of armor penetration damage.

Fortunately, this time Manjoume didn't draw the magic card that would allow the monster to attack twice, so Jaden Yuki didn't suffer a defeat this time.

(Yujo Judai LP: 2000 → 900)

"At the very moment the monster is destroyed, I activate the effect of the Continuous Trap Card 'Beyond Limit' on the field again, paying 500 LP to revive the 'Disruptive Green' (DEF: 1000) that was just destroyed!"

(Yujo Judai LP: 900 → 400)

"Yay~ I'm back to life! Thank you, Tenth Master~~"

A look of emotion shone in its large, single eye. The lush greenery, revived from the cemetery, expressed its heartfelt gratitude to the ten representatives of Youcheng.

Huang, who was standing to the side, also looked at his second brother with a smile.

One more Disruptor Black is needed to complete the Disruptor trio.

"Judai, you bastard!"

Seeing that Jaden Yuki still had no intention of repenting, he insisted on using his own life points to revive those trashy monsters with 0 attack power.

Feeling increasingly impatient, Manjoume complained, "Are you so concerned about those worthless monsters that you're deliberately trying to lose this duel?"

"No, I wasn't holding back!" Shaking his head, Jaden Yuki said to Manjoume, "I was simply showing respect to your beloved monsters!"

"...My beloved monsters? You mean, these hideous, disruptive monsters???"

Disruptive Yellow: "Ugh! Brother Wan Zhangmu, you're going too far!"

Disrupting Green: "...That's right, that's right, we brothers clearly love you so much!"

Manjoume: "..."

Upon hearing the shocking fact that those vulgar, disruptive monsters were his beloved creatures, a thousand eyes filled with sweat appeared on his forehead, his lips twitched, and he stood there stunned.

"That's right, it's my turn again. My turn, draw a card!"

After nodding, Jaden Yuki drew a brand new card from his deck.

Looking at the [Disruptor Black] he had just drawn, and sensing the presence of fate, Jaden Yuki smiled slightly before placing the eldest of the Disruptor Brothers horizontally onto his Duel Disk: "I summon [Disruptor Black] in Defense Position (Defense Power: 1000)!"

Accompanied by the light of the monster summoning, the third Disruptive Monster appeared in front of Jaden Yuki in a defense stance.

Now that the three disruptive brothers are gathered on the field, the activation condition for a certain card can be met.

"Let's go! We'll disrupt the brothers!"

"...Ooooooooo!!!"

"I activate the Spell Card [Disruptive Triangle Hurricane] from my hand! According to this card's effect, if Disruptive Triangle is on the field, you can destroy all cards on your opponent's field!"

Disruptive Huang: "Let's go, brothers!"

Disruptive Green: "Yellow, Green, Black! We are the 'Great Heroes'—the Disruptive Three Brothers!"

Disruption Black: "Brother Manjoume, take this combined attack filled with our fury! Disruption Triangle Hurricane!!!"

As the magic card was activated, the three Disruptors leaped into the air simultaneously, then joined their buttocks together in mid-air.

The three brothers, their bodies spinning continuously, transformed into a hurricane and charged straight towards Wan Zhangmu, sweeping all the cards on his field into the hurricane.

——Boom, boom, boom!

"...Gu!"

With a series of explosions and a low growl coming from Manjoume's mouth, the Disruption Brothers indiscriminately destroyed all of Manjoume's territory.

589 That day, they recalled...

With a series of explosions, the entire area of ​​Wan Zhangmu was immediately subjected to a thorough cleanup by the hurricane created by the three brothers.

After destroying all the cards on Manjoume's field with the Disruptive Triangle Hurricane, the Disruptive Brothers returned to Jaden Yuki's front and reverted to their original defense position.

With such a grand offensive, the enemy commander, Manjoume, must have already sensed the determination of his brothers!

"Did you see that? Manjoume!"

Clenching his right fist tightly and raising his arm in front of him, Jaden Yuki shouted loudly in Manjoume's direction at the same moment that Manjoume's card was destroyed: "...This is the true power possessed by the monsters you mocked as trash!"

"Hmph! I don't know what you're so fixated on, but right now, I have absolutely no interest in watching this ridiculous farce!"

With a flick of his wrist, Wan Zhangmu, his brows furrowed, swept away the smoke from the explosion in front of him and glared fiercely at the three brothers who were huddled together in fear.

After that, he spread his palms out in front of him: "At this moment, I activate the Trap Card [Sealed Gate] that was just destroyed and sent to the Graveyard! Heh... This card is a trap that can only activate its effect when it is destroyed!"

"Manjoume..."

Hearing Manjoume's smug speech, Yuki Judai subconsciously frowned.

The attack just now didn't seem to have been able to convey the emotions that had been disturbing the brothers to Wan Zhangmu's heart.

"...Hahahaha!!! Jaden, thanks to your help, I was able to get the chance to summon the Ace Monster!"

"But for this reason alone, let me thank you a little!"

With a smirk, Manjoume continued, "...Based on the effect of the Trap Card 'Sealed Gate,' I will banish one 'White Knight's Spearman,' one 'White Knight's Swordsman,' and one 'White Knight's Guard' from my Graveyard. Then, I can Special Summon 'The Lord of the White Knights' from my Deck!"

"Come forth! My ace monster—[Lord of the White Knights] (ATK: 2000)!!!"

With his signature white cloak billowing in the wind, the blue-haired knight, wielding a meteor hammer in one hand, appeared before Wan Zhangmu's body, accompanied by a white light that illuminated the surroundings.

As the ace monster and leader of the White Knights deck, this humanoid knight monster exudes an awe-inspiring presence simply by standing there.

"...It's not over yet! Next, I'll activate the effect of the [Swordsman of the White Knights] in the graveyard. The attack power of the [Lord of the White Knights] will increase by 300 points!"

Lord of the White Knights (Attack Power: 2000→2300)

"How about it? Judai... This is the strongest card in the deck that Lord Saiou gave me! Its existence represents my unwavering loyalty to the Society of Light!"

With a smug grin, Manjoume began to flaunt his current strongest fighting power.

"Hey... wake up, Manjoume!"

Seeing that Manjoume remained obstinate, Judai Yuki couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.

Does a monster with an attack power of 2300 deserve to be called the strongest card?

Manjoume... This monster, just like that pure white uniform, is completely unsuitable for you!

Aren't the combined VWXYZ Alliance Monsters you used before, and that LV10 Ultimate Armed Dragon, much stronger than this monster?

"Hmph! Wake up? I'm perfectly awake! Judai... This pure white, which has burned away all the filth, is what our Society of Light strives for!"

After summoning the ace monster from his deck, Manjoume's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

He raised his head, looked at the monster in front of him, and spoke his true thoughts.

Disrupting the three brothers: "Brother Wan Zhangmu..."

Judai Yuki: "Manjoume, what nonsense are you spouting? You can wear a uniform that hasn't been washed in half a year without a care in the world... Now that things have come to this, what are you talking about, this pure white that's supposed to be spotless!"

"...Nani?"

"Don't think I don't know that you always like to wipe up the spilled soy sauce with your sleeve while eating!"

Pinching his nose, he pointed with his other hand at Yuki Judai, who was wearing a black uniform draped over a roadside stone monument, and said with a look of disgust, "...Let me be frank, when I brought that black trench coat with me, I could clearly smell that sour smell!"

"...Judai, you bastard!"

Having his secret exposed, Wan Zhangmu, unable to refute it, immediately had a dark cloud appear on his face.

That previously calm expression began to unconsciously turn into panic: "Don't you know... that bears put honey on their hands before hibernating?"

Yuki Judai: "..."

"So that's how it is! So they're preparing for hibernation!" Jian Shan, who had been watching the battle from the sidelines, clapped his hands suddenly, making a look of sudden realization.

"...Hmph! Anyway, let's stop with all that nonsense and focus on the duel!"

Forcibly changing the awkward topic, Manjoume spoke in a deep voice: "My trump card monster—the Lord of the White Knights—possesses an attack power of up to 2300 points! In front of this monster, no matter how many rabble you gather, it will be meaningless!"

"Uh... Attack power 2300... Gulp..."

Feeling the immense pressure emanating from the White Knight opposite him, Disturbed Yellow, a sense of fear rising within him, rolled his eyes, then scratched his head, looking apologetically at Jaden Yuki behind him: "Um, Jaden-sama... although it's rare for you to let me make an appearance, I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered I have some things to take care of, so I might have to leave for a while..."

"Uh...yes! I just remembered! My mother is critically ill..."

"Me too...me too! My dad's having surgery! I have to go to the hospital to see him!"

Seeing that their younger brother was planning to make an excuse to leave, Disruption Green and Disruption Black quickly realized what was happening and also adopted a retreating posture.

Are you kidding me? !

How can we, mere mortals with zero attack power, possibly fight the White Knights on the other side?

If we don't run away now, we're going to face the tragic fate of being instantly killed...

We don't want pain!

"You...you guys..."

Looking at the three useless clowns in front of him, Yuki Judai felt a headache coming on and couldn't help but press his head.

At this moment, he could probably understand the mental state of Wan Zhangmu earlier.

No wonder... no wonder Manjoume's attitude towards them was so hostile, completely different from his own Winged Kuriboh...
