Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

Upon hearing Fubuki's question, Hell Caesar temporarily stopped what he was doing.

He didn't answer Fubuki's question directly. Instead, he put his finger to his lips, blinked, and struck a rather mysterious pose: "Fubuki... your ace monster—the [Meteor Dragon Meteor Black Dragon] with an attack power of 3500—is indeed very strong, but in front of a true Cyber ​​Dragon, even it can only sigh in regret!"

"Varied……?"

"...Fubuki, feel honored, you will be the first duelist...to be defeated by my brand new [Cyber ​​Dark] deck!"

After making this announcement to Fubuki, Hell Caesar then Normal Summoned a monster from his hand to his field: "...In Attack Position, I Normal Summon 'Cyber ​​Dark Chimera' from my hand and activate its effect. I discard one Spell/Trap Card from my hand and then add one 'Power Bond' from my Deck to my hand."

Casually discarding a spell or trap card from his hand, Hell Caesar then added the key fusion card to his hand.

【Power Fusion】 is a Fusion Spell Card exclusive to Machine-Type monsters. It was a key card that Ryo Marufuji used frequently in the past to summon 【Cyber ​​End Dragon】 to OTK the opponent.

And now, with his life hanging by a thread, this card, just as it has in the past, has destined itself into his hands.

"It's actually... a combination of powers? Liang, could it be that you're planning to...?!"

"...Yes, that's exactly what you want."

At this point, Hell Caesar unconsciously curled up the corners of his mouth, revealing a pleased smile: "...By the way, the effect of [Cyber ​​Dark Chimera] has a follow-up. During the turn I activate the search effect, I can only perform a Fusion Summon once, and I can also banish monsters from my Graveyard to use as Fusion Materials!"

The "once" here refers to the fact that in the case of Fusion Summoning, only one chain can be opened, and multiple Fusion Summonings cannot be performed at the same time. It does not mean that materials in the graveyard can only be used for one Fusion.

In theory, as long as you have enough Fusion Spell Cards in your hand and enough resources in your graveyard, you can use these cards as Fusion materials as much as possible to summon multiple Cyber ​​Spell Cards in one turn.

Tianshanguan Fubuki: "...!!!"

Hearing Hell Caesar's nightmarish words, Fubuki, upon first seeing this deck, finally understood her best friend's plan.

No wonder... no wonder Liang kept repeating those bizarre grave-building behaviors that seemed incredibly strange to others.

It turns out that all of this was preparation for this moment...

【Power Combination】While it can double the attack power of a Fusion Monster, as the price for gaining powerful strength, its negative effect is that the player who activates it will also suffer damage equal to the original attack power of that Fusion Monster at the end of the turn.

After taking two consecutive hits from Red-Eyes, leaving him with only 400 health points, Hell Caesar was clearly planning a final struggle, as he had previously declared, to end the duel in this round.

We will win this duel with absolute power!

"Spell Card [Power Fusion] activated! I will use [Cyber ​​Dark Chimera] on my field, along with [Cyber ​​Dark Claw], [Cyber ​​Dark Cannon], [Cyber ​​Dark Chimera 2], and [Cyber ​​Dark Horn] in my Graveyard as materials to perform an Ultimate Cyber ​​Fusion Summon!"

With his arms raised high and a determined look on his face, Hell Caesar shouted the name of the monster: "...At this moment, let the five parts become one! Fusion Summon, come forth! The ace monster of the Cyber ​​Dragon deck—[Armored Dragon Cyber ​​Dark Dragon]!"

-

A crimson sky and blue ground spread out in front of Hell Caesar, and the phantom images of five [Cyber ​​Dark] series monsters appeared simultaneously in front of Hell Caesar in the next moment.

Accompanied by the call of Hell Caesar, the phantoms of the five monsters finally overlapped, becoming a giant, evil dragon-shaped mechanical aggregate with all the characteristics and physical form of the original monsters.

The razor-sharp skeleton scattered outwards, transforming into wings that extended and expanded outwards.

On the back of that enormous dragon-shaped monster, one can also see a terrifying device, similar to a planet-destroying cannon, that is constantly gathering energy.

"【Armored Dragon - Electronic Dark Dragon】...Five Bodies Fusion..."

The wondrous and awe-inspiring scene depicted on the [Cyber ​​Horizon] card, and the terrifying monster that ultimately appeared, resembling a final weapon, left Tenjouin Fubuki, the rival of Hell Caesar, momentarily stunned, abandoning any thought of further thought.

The Ultimate Fusion Monster with an ATK of 4000 is indeed far superior to the [Meteor Dragon Meteor Black Dragon] with an ATK of 3500 on the field.

This monster, however, possesses powerful attributes corresponding to its appearance.

However, if it's only at this level, it hasn't actually surpassed the previous [Electronic Terminator Dragon], whose attack power doubled to 8000 under the effect of [Power Combination].

Not to mention, after the [Limit Removal], the Electronic Flow Ace Monster surpassed its limits and its attack power doubled to 16000.

"Heh... At the very moment of Fusion Summoning, I activate the effect of [Armored Dragon Cyber ​​Dark Dragon]! This effect can only be activated if this card is Special Summoned. Equip this card with a Dragon or Machine monster from my Graveyard..."

Retrieve Cyber ​​End Dragon from the Graveyard using the effect of Cyber ​​Horizon, and then Infernal Kaiser inserts it into the back row of the Duel Disk, equipping it as an Equip Spell Card to Cyber ​​Dark Dragon.

"...The target I've chosen is none other than the ace of the Electron Flow—[Electron Terminator Dragon] (Attack Power: 4000)!!!"

With a burst of dazzling white light, Marufuji Ryo's old friend, the ace of the past surpassed by the current Hell Caesar, spread his silvery wings and appeared behind Hell Caesar like a king.

Seeing the [Electronic Terminator Dragon] appear beside it, the [Armored Dragon - Electronic Dark Dragon], having found its target, acted like a jackal that had spotted its prey. With blood-red light flashing in its eyes, it appeared behind the [Electronic Terminator Dragon] at a speed that belied its enormous size.

As it teleported, numerous restraining claws sprouted from the skeleton on the chest of the [Armored Dragon - Electronic Dark Dragon].

These sharp claws firmly locked onto the body of the [Electronic Terminator Dragon], immobilizing it while simultaneously absorbing all of its power.

603 He can be replaced!

After a series of dramatic events orchestrated by Hell Caesar, the Cyber ​​Dark Dragon, formed by the fusion of five Cyber ​​Dark monsters and enhanced by the Power Fusion buff, finally appeared on his field, radiating an extremely powerful aura.

Furthermore, at the moment of successful Fusion Summoning, [Armored Dragon Cyber ​​Dark Dragon] also activated its effect, pulling the ace card of the Cyber ​​Stream—[Cyber ​​Ender Dragon]—from the graveyard and making it its own Equip Card.

Thus, the Cyber ​​Dragon Cyber ​​Dark Dragon, which physically merges with Cyber ​​End Dragon and becomes its own Equip Card, has its base attack power, which has already doubled, increase by a terrifying 4000 points due to the attribute of the equipped monster!

【Armored Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark Dragon】(Attack Power: 4000→8000)

On Tenjouin Fubuki's side, there's a [Meteor Dragon Meteor Black Dragon] with 3500 ATK on the field, and in the graveyard there's a [Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon] that can banish itself to search for the Fusion Spell Card [Red-Eyes Fusion].

In his mind, even if his monsters were destroyed by Hell Caesar, when it was his turn, he could regroup his resources and summon new powerful monsters to fight against the opponent.

However, the actions of Hell Caesar were completely unexpected.

Under the watchful gaze of Tenjouin Fubuki, Hell Caesar completely abandoned his previous respect for his opponent in duels; now, all that remained in his eyes was the desire for victory.

He will fight with all his might to win.

"...I target [Armored Dragon Cyber ​​Dark Dragon] and activate the Equip Spell Card for DARK monsters from my hand—[Dark Dragon Claw]!"

He pulled out one of his cards, waved it in front of him, and then inserted it into the back row of his Duel Disk, activating it immediately: "...Monsters equipped with this card gain 600 ATK and cannot be destroyed by their opponent's card effects."

Furthermore, if this card is sent to the Graveyard when the equipped monster is destroyed by battle, you can activate this effect: Special Summon that destroyed monster to my field, then equip this card to it. If this card leaves the field after this effect has been activated, it is banished.

(【Armored Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark Dragon】 Attack Power: 8000→8600)

Hell Caesar, having summoned his ace monster, did not rush to attack. Instead, he targeted the monsters on the field and activated a spell card that granted them resistance.

There is another face-down card with unknown contents in the back row of Fubuki. Hell Caesar, who noticed this, is obviously making preparations for this, in order to avoid any unexpected situations.

"...Won't the effect be disrupted? Ryo, you're really cautious."

Even with a significant overt advantage, they still maintained a cautious attitude.

Regarding Hell Caesar's actions, Tenjouin Fubuki couldn't help but express a heartfelt sigh.

"Heh, I've already learned my lesson about this before, and I haven't forgotten it... In that case, I won't have to worry about your card affecting me anymore."

"Previously" refers to the time when Kaiser Ryo had just joined the Duel League.

That was when he debuted as a rising star and became Edward's duel opponent.

In that duel, Caesar was defeated by Edward's relentless attacks from behind. His old friend, the "Cyber ​​Terminator Dragon," was also toyed with by Edward, and Caesar ultimately met a humiliating defeat.

It's fair to say that the inexperienced Caesar was thoroughly taught a lesson by Edward, making him realize the difference between professional players and ordinary duelists...

It was this feeling of discontent that drove Marufuji Ryo to pursue great power.

In his desperate struggle, he transformed into the Hell Caesar, but ultimately returned as a king to this destiny-bound dueling academy.

"...Battle has begun! [Armored Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark Dragon] attacks [Meteor Dragon - Meteor Black Dragon] (Attack Power: 3500)!"

Having completed all preparations and given the order to attack, Hell Caesar finally stretched out his arm towards his best friend, Fubuki: "...Fubuki! This will end it!"

"...Gu!"

As Hell Caesar's voice rang out, the fully-formed [Armored Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark Dragon] flapped its segmented wings, carrying the body of [Cyber ​​Terminator Dragon], and charged straight towards Fubuki, revealing its sharp fangs.

Feeling the massive shadow looming over her, Fubuki, feeling the pressure mounting, gritted her teeth and immediately activated her face-down card in the back row: "...It's not over yet! Ryou, at the very moment you attack, I'm activating my back row trap card—[Absorption Shield]!"

Pressing the button on the Duel Disk, Fubuki immediately flipped over the face-down card in the back row.

"You can only target an opponent's monster when it declares an attack. Negate that monster's attack and restore my Life Points equal to that monster's ATK!"

"Hmph! [Absorption Shield], is that it..."

Looking at the trap card that had been flipped open in front of Fubuki, a card with which he had many connections, Hell Caesar subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

He has many bad memories associated with this card.

“Liang... I knew it. You would think that I had laid a counterattack effect on a card like [Holy Shield - Mirror Force -].

A knowing smile played on her lips as Fubuki continued, "...The Dark Dragon Claw can indeed prevent monsters from being destroyed, but the Absorption Shield's effect isn't limited to that! As long as we survive this wave of attacks, this duel will be my victory!"

Due to the negative effect of [Power Combination], at the end of this round, Hell Caesar will suffer effect damage equal to the original attack power of [Armored Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark Dragon], which is 2000 points.

Hell Caesar currently has 400 health points remaining, which means he will lose at the end of the round.

The attack that embodied his hopes and determination was countered by Fubuki's backline [Absorption Shield], and it seems... the outcome of this duel has already been decided.

"...Ha, Sorevadocana (Is that really the case?)!"

"Nani?!"

Hearing Tenjōin Fubuki's words, a knowing look flashed across Hell Caesar's face: "Fubuki, if it were the old me, perhaps I would have lost to you..."

"But now that I've returned from hell, I'm completely different!"

A layer of blue battle aura emanated from his body, and Hell Caesar's rather heroic face revealed a twisted, exaggerated expression: "To achieve victory, to reach a higher realm, I chose to abandon my old friend! How could I... who has sacrificed so much, possibly fall here?!"

“…Ryo!” Sensing her best friend’s determination, Fubuki instinctively called out his name.

"Fubuki, you're still too naive! By chaining the activation of your trap card, I'll activate the effect of [Armored Dragon Cyber ​​Dark Dragon]!"
