Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

"I summon the Legendary Black Stone in an attack gesture (Dragon/Dark/1-star/Attack: 0/Defense: 0)."

As Fubuki placed one of her cards onto the Duel Disk deck, an egg-shaped gem radiating a brilliant red light emerged from the soil of the volcanic island.

Looking at the monster that had appeared before her, Fubuki stretched out her arm again and said, "Activate the effect of [Legendary Black Stone], Tribute this card on the field, and Special Summon 1 Level 7 or lower [Red-Eyes] monster from the Deck!"

"Come forth! The terrifying black dragon that will burn everything in its path with its furious black flames—[Red-Eyes Black Dragon] (Dragon/Dark/7-Star/Attack: 2400/Defense: 2000)!"

The crimson egg-shaped gem shattered into fragments with a dazzling light, and then, amidst the flames that suddenly ignited, it outlined the shape of a dragon-like monster.

The figure of Caesar was reflected in her blood-red eyes. A black dragon, wreathed in flames, stretched its body wildly and materialized, appearing in front of Tenjouin Fubuki.

"Wow? It's actually... [Red-Eyes Black Dragon]?"

Seeing Fubuki pull out this long-unseen "Red-Eyes" deck, Caesar's face showed a rather interested expression.

Compared to those comedic decks used for laughs, the True Red-Eyes Black Dragon deck, which is on par with Blue-Eyes White Dragon, definitely delivers a greater visual impact!

"Next, I will activate the Spell Card from my hand—[Black Flame Bullet]!"

Showing off the magic card in her hand, which featured the image of Red-Eyes Black Dragon spitting out a ball, Fubuki continued explaining towards Caesar: "This turn, in exchange for blocking the attack of Red-Eyes Black Dragon, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the original ATK of one Red-Eyes Black Dragon on your field!"

"Take this, Liang!"

"An impact from the Red-Eyes Black Dragon... Black Flame Bullet!!!"

Since the player who goes first cannot attack in the first round, this negative condition is essentially nonexistent.

The original attack power of the [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] is 2400. This means that the Hell Caesar, whose turn is not yet his turn, will suffer 2400 points of effect damage and lose most of its health.

As the magic card was activated, the black dragon immediately spread its wings and leaped into the air, opening its mouth and spitting out a reddish-black energy ball towards Hell Caesar.

The energy sphere carrying destructive power exploded in front of Hell Caesar, creating a strong wind and a large amount of smoke.

Caesar: "..."

(Hell Caesar LP: 4000→1600)

"It's not over yet! Next... I'll activate the Spell Card [Fusion] from my hand! I'll send [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] from my field and [Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon] (Dragon/DARK/Level 6/ATK: 2000/DEF: 2000) from my hand to the Graveyard as materials for a Fusion Summon!"

Unlike [Fusion Fate], which restricts the summoning of DARK HERO monsters after activation, the Spell Card [Red-Eyes Fusion], which can also use monsters from the deck as materials to perform Fusion Summoning of Red-Eyes monsters, has a rather large self-restriction effect.

During the turn this card is activated, you cannot Normal or Special Summon monsters using effects other than Red-Eyes Fusion.

In other words, once the above-mentioned summoning action is performed, [Red-Eyes Fusion] cannot be activated in this turn and can only wait until the next turn.

So... unless it's to bring out the invincible Red-Eyes Dragon Knight to control the field, or if you only have this one card left in your hand, very few people would intentionally sacrifice the opportunity to set up a combo and use this card.

Moreover, Fubuki had not yet used [Red-Eyes Fusion] at this moment.

Therefore, he chose to achieve a similar effect in another way, by pulling out a large monster from the Red-Eyes archetype from the Extra Deck.

"Crimson dragon that drives the raging black flames, Black Star dragon that symbolizes destruction, now merge into one and become a new being!"

With her hands clasped together in front of her, striking a standard prayer pose from the Fusion Dimension in A5, Tenjouin Fubuki, her face solemn, shouted, "...Fusion Summon! Descend! My ace monster—[Meteor Dragon Meteor Black Dragon]!!!"

【Meteor Dragon Meteor Black Dragon】

(Dragon/Dark/8-star/Attack: 3500/Defense: 3000)

Blending/Effects:

7-star "Red-Eyes" monster + 6-star Dragon monster

①: This effect can only be activated if this card is successfully Fusion Summoned. Send 1 "Red-Eyes" monster from your hand or Deck to the Graveyard, and inflict damage to your opponent equal to half of that monster's original ATK.

②: If this card is sent from the Monster Zone to the Graveyard, you can target 1 Normal Monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that monster.

-

In the distant sky, countless crimson meteors crashed down towards the ground.

Amidst this sudden shower of meteors, a crimson-black fire dragon with wings that blotted out the sky and whose body was constantly engulfed in crimson flames descended from the heavens, bringing with it an indescribable and immense power, and landed before Tenjouin Fubuki.

This superior dragon monster, created by fusing the [Red-Eyes Black Dragon], is the best proof of Darkness and its dark power.

"At this very moment, the effect of [Meteor Dragon Meteor Black Dragon] activates!"

Her body was shrouded in black mist, and Fubuki appeared on her face with the mask representing the Darkness Evil Dragon, her eyes flashing with an ominous crimson light.

With a powerful swing of her arm in the opposite direction of Caesar, Fubuki continued shouting, "When this card is successfully Fusion Summoned, send one Red-Eyes monster from your hand or Deck to the Graveyard and inflict damage to your opponent equal to half of that monster's original ATK!"

As she said this, Fubuki reached into her deck and, without hesitation, pulled out a card and sent it to the graveyard: "I sent the card 'Red-Eyes Black Dragon' (ATK: 2400) from my deck to the graveyard. Ryou, I'll give you half of its original ATK, which is 1200 points of effect damage!"

Once again, Fubuki activated her effect damage.

As he sent the card in his hand to the graveyard, [Meteor Dragon Meteor Black Dragon] also guided a swarm of meteors in the sky, hurling them towards Caesar's location.

"...Well, you guys are pretty good, Fubuki!"

(Hell Caesar LP: 1600→400)

In just one encounter, the now-powerful Hell Caesar, corrupted by evil, lost the vast majority of his health points under the relentless onslaught of the Red-Eyes Black Dragon, plummeting from a full 4000 points to a precarious 400 points.

Compared to when she fought Yusei, Tenjouin Fubuki, now facing Hell Caesar with a strong determination, has undoubtedly grown and possesses strength far exceeding that of before!

"Bury a card, end the turn."

Tenjouin Fubuki drew a single card from her hand, inserted it into the back of the Duel Disk, and then waved her hand to end her turn.

"Heh... She achieved the Red-Eyes chain in the first round, reducing my HP by nine-tenths. As expected of my good friend, Tenjōin Fubuki!"

Wiping away the unconscious smirk from the corner of his mouth, Caesar looked at his health bar dropping to freezing point, a playful expression appearing on his face, completely different from his state of crisis: "No, this ominous dark aura... perhaps, this is the power of Darkness left in your body?"

Those familiar with Caesar of Hell know that the closer he is to death, the more powerful he becomes.

Caesar is now clearly about to start struggling!

"Heh... Don't worry, Ryo, I'm still your friend, still the Tenjōin Fubuki you know."

Despite the ominous black aura emanating from its body, it looked completely abnormal.

However, despite being enveloped in a dark aura and wearing the evil dragon mask, Fubuki still retained her conscious mind.

602 Armored Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark Nether Dragon

Darkness, which was attached to Fubuki Tenjouin's body in the past, was the evil soul of the Seven Star King. Due to her defeat in the dark duel with Yusei, it was sealed forever in the card.

What remains in Fubuki's body now is only the powerful darkness that has lost its original master.

Holding this snowflake, perhaps a form of divine compensation for the lost years, a feeling of unprecedented self-confidence welled up within him.

Even when facing the Hellish Caesar who has gathered both the surface and the inside of the electronic flow, Tenjouin Fubuki firmly believes that she can defeat her misguided best friend and pull him back from the abyss of darkness.

"My turn, draw a card!"

With a calm expression, Hell Caesar, whose turn it was, drew the top card of his deck.

After looking at the card in his hand, he immediately threw it into the graveyard of the Duel Disk: "...I activate the effect of the [Cyber ​​Dark Cannon] I just got, discard this card from my hand, and then add a [Cyber ​​Dark] monster from my deck to my hand."

"...I choose to search for [Electronic Dark Claw]."

As Hell Caesar finished speaking, the indicator light on the Duel Disk flashed intermittently. Then, a card automatically flew out of the Duel Disk, was caught by Hell Caesar, and added to his hand as it arced through the air.

"【Cyber ​​Darkness】Monster... Is this the other side of the Electron Stream?"

Upon noticing the brand-new card series that her best friend had shown her, a series she had never seen before, a strange sense of foreboding flashed through Tenjōin Fubuki's mind.

"...The search continues. I discard [Cyber ​​Dark Claw] from my hand and activate its effect to add one [Cyber ​​Dark] Spell/Trap Card from my Deck to my hand."

Repeating the search operation from before, this time Hell Caesar chose to search for Spell/Trap Cards in his deck: "Come into my hand, [Cyber ​​Horizon]!"

-

Electronic Horizon

(Normal Spell Card)

effect:

This card name is also treated as a "Cyber ​​Dark" card according to the rules. You can only activate 1 card with this name per turn. During the turn this card is activated, you cannot Special Summon non-Machine-Type monsters from your Extra Deck.

①: You can activate this effect by sending 1 Dragon/Machine "Cyber" monster from your hand and 1 "Cyber" monster from your Deck to the Graveyard (maximum 1 of the same Attribute). Add 1 Dragon/Machine "Cyber" monster from your Deck to your hand, and send 1 "Cyber" Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck to the Graveyard.

-

While Tenjōin Fubuki inherited the power of Darkness and grew stronger, Marufuji Ryo was not idle either.

The combination of the dark side of electrons and Caesar, who has returned from hell, will unleash unparalleled power.

"Next, I'll activate the Spell Card—[Cyber ​​Horizon]!"

A faint smile played on his lips as Hell Caesar looked in Fubuki's direction and slowly began to explain: "...This card can only be activated by sending one Dragon-Type and one Machine-Type monster from your hand and Deck to the Graveyard. According to this card's effect, I can add one Dragon-Type or Machine-Type Cyber ​​Monster from my Deck to my hand, and then send one Cyber ​​Fusion Monster from my Extra Deck to the Graveyard!"

"...I send the [Cyber ​​Dragon Core] from my hand and the [Cyber ​​Dark Chimera] from my deck to the graveyard, then search for a second [Cyber ​​Dark Chimera] from my deck, and then send the [Cyber ​​Ender Dragon] from my Extra Deck to my graveyard."

This is how Hell Caesar described it, taking four cards from his hand, deck, and extra deck at the same time.

After adding one of the [Cyber ​​Dark Chimera] cards to his hand, he immediately discarded the remaining three cards into the Graveyard of the Duel Disk.

As he moved, two beams of light, representing the activation of the effect, simultaneously lit up from the graveyard in the next instant.

"Heh... At this moment, I activate the second effect of [Cyber ​​Dark Chimera] which was sent to the Graveyard. This effect can only be activated if this card is sent to the Graveyard. Send 1 [Cyber ​​Dark] monster with the same name that is not in your Graveyard from your Deck to the Graveyard, and I choose to send [Cyber ​​Dark Magic Horn] to the Graveyard."

"Next, I can chain the effect of the Level 1 monster [Cyber ​​Dragon Core] that was also sent to the Graveyard. When this card is sent to the Graveyard, I can add one [Cyber ​​Dragon] other than this card from my Deck or Graveyard to my hand. I choose to search for [Cyber ​​Dragon] in my Deck (ATK: 2100)."

After a series of searches and discards, Hell Caesar's hand size remained at 6 cards, including the [Cyber ​​Dragon] he retrieved from his deck and another [Cyber ​​Dark Chimera].

"...Another grave-piling operation? Ryo, what exactly are you planning to do?!"

As she watched Hell Caesar repeatedly pile up graves, Fubuki's ominous premonition grew stronger, and she couldn't help but ask a question in confusion.

The act of continuously piling up various resources in a cemetery must have a profound meaning.

And considering Caesar of Hell's current calm demeanor...

perhaps……

"...Heh, you'll find out soon enough."
