Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

"...Look! Lord Sai-o, your wish is about to be fulfilled!"

With his arms outstretched and spread wide in front of him, Prince Auchin's face was flushed with a sickly redness due to intense excitement.

See! This is the final blow after the evolution! Before the opponent can react, they will meet their doom under this triple attack!

I would call it the strongest tactical strategy in history!

"What an idiot..."

Yusei, whose lips twitched, did not react at this moment despite being targeted by three satellites simultaneously.

To enhance the show's effect, he even crossed his arms and waited for the satellite cannon to fire before slapping a card from his hand onto the duel disk deck.

At the very moment Yusei slammed the card onto the Duel Disk, attacks from the three satellite cannons also reached him.

--boom!

--boom!

--boom!

As three explosions rang out in succession, the area where Yusei had been standing was filled with dazzling light and smoke from the explosions.

According to Prince Auchin's original plan, Yushin, who was unable to put up any resistance at this moment, would naturally be defeated due to damage exceeding his maximum health.

however……

According to the traditional rule that smoke does not cause harm, some unexpected and extremely dramatic scenes are bound to occur at this time.

"That's it? Is there anything else?"

"...What?!"

As the smoke from the explosion dissipated with the night breeze, what appeared in Prince Aujin's dilated pupils was Yusei, standing calmly and unharmed in the same spot.

His health points were not reduced at all by the three consecutive hits from the satellite cannon.

Moreover, at this moment, in front of him stood a figure of a new Yu Xia, arms crossed, ethereal and proud, head held high, guarding him like a wall reaching to the heavens.

That was the figure of [Elemental HERO Neos Elf], Special Summoned to the field at this moment, possessing the effect: "This effect can only be activated when an opponent's monster declares an attack. This card is Special Summoned from your hand in Defense Position. This card Special Summoned by this effect cannot be destroyed by battle."

Facing the stunned Prince Okin, Yusei spoke calmly, uttering a question laced with strong sarcasm.

"...Impossible! How could this happen?! Why haven't your health points decreased at all? You should have already lost!"

After launching its attack, the [Satellite Cannon]'s attack power returned to 0. However, Yusei was not affected by this attack at all, as all the attacks were blocked by the [Elemental HERO Neos] in front of him.

The incomprehensible facts unfolding before his eyes caused Prince Auchin to let out an uncontrollable shout.

Seeing Prince Aukin's reaction, which seemed genuine, the onlookers were all stunned. Lingduo, as his secretary, awkwardly turned her head to the side.

"Looking at you now reminds me of the Seven Star King I encountered before..."

In the past, when facing the Seven Star Kings, Yusei also encountered a Pharaoh who had a similar situation to Prince Auchin.

That guy was also born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and his eyes were blinded by the compliments he received from a young age.

Despite his terrible card skills, riddled with flaws, he gradually developed the mindset of a peerless master, someone who "seeks no defeat," after those around him deliberately let him win more often out of fear of his status...

Not only do they have no self-awareness, but they also flaunt their various "brilliant" actions as exemplary models... which is quite speechless.

Therefore, after so long, seeing this person who resembled that Pharaoh doing similar things again, Yusei couldn't help but twitch his lips and ask, "Hey... Prince Auchin, you've already suffered this loss before, how come you don't learn your lesson at all? Your so-called true strength isn't just about turning one monster into three, is it?"

"Shut...shut up! Shut up!!!"

Prince Okin, whose proud attempt at victory had backfired, was now the butt of jokes. Under the mocking gazes of the crowd, his face flushed crimson, and he let out an uncontrollable scream: "Aaaaaaah... Damn it! Why didn't you do it my way! Yusei, you bastard, you're unforgivable!!!"

Accustomed to the sense of superiority of commanding others, Prince Okin, who considered himself a superior being from birth, subconsciously regarded Yusei and the others as his servants.

In his view, he was the center of the world, and everything should revolve around him.

People like Yusei, who don't follow the rules and disrupt his plans, should be severely criticized and denounced!

"...To be honest, I'm a little speechless with you."

Living in modern society, and having no superior-subordinate relationship with Prince Okin, Yusei naturally didn't need to pay attention to his nonsense.

However, Yusei, a kind-hearted and helpful person, still decides to convey the beauty of love and peace to his rival.

Choosing his words carefully, not wanting to hurt the baby boy in front of him, Yusei blinked and asked, "You've used up your tactics, so now it's my turn, right?"

"Hmph! I..."

"If 【Elemental HERO Neos】 is successfully Special Summoned, add one Spell/Trap Card or 【Fusion】 Spell Card from your Deck to your hand."

Before Prince Auchindo could announce the end of the turn, Yusei interrupted him, saying, "...I choose to search for the Spell Card [Easy Contact]."

"...Tsk! End of turn... During my end phase, the effect of [Satellite Cannon] activates, increasing my attack power by 1000 points and recharging my energy!"

The words were interrupted by Yuxing, and Prince Ojin clicked his tongue in annoyance.

However, his royal elegance compelled him to speak again and announce the end of the round.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Yusei drew a card from the top of his deck and looked at the new spell card, [Fusion], with a slight smile.

The moment he got his hands on the magic card, the formula for victory immediately came to mind.

"Yusei's expression...it looks like he got the card he wanted?"

Noticing the change in Yusei's expression, Jaden Yuki spoke up.

"Hmph! Bring it on, whatever tricks you have up your sleeve!"

With an aloof expression, Prince Auchin crossed his arms and shouted at Yusei, who had entered the main phase: "...Yusei! I have three [Satellite Cannons] (ATK: 1000) on my field! I'd like to see what kind of tricks you have up your sleeve, the one who mocked me like that before!"

"Mocking? Ha, forget it." Shaking his head, not wanting to dwell on this topic any longer, Yusei replied, "Then you'd better keep your eyes wide open and watch how you head down the road to defeat!"

"...Main Phase 1, I activate the third effect of [Elemental HERO Neos], returning myself to the Deck, and then Special Summon one [Elemental HERO] Normal Monster from the Deck...Come on! Neos!"

The ethereal New Universe Spirit, as Youxing'e's words faded, transformed into specks of starlight and vanished without a trace.

After that, accompanied by a rainbow of seven colors in the new space, the new Space Knight, with its silver-white streamlined body, appeared in mid-air and came to Yusei's side.

【Elemental Hero - Neo-Universe】(Attack Power: 2500)

"Ha... Foolish fellow! You replaced the Neo-Eyed Spirits, which cannot be destroyed in battle, with Neo-Eyed Warriors made of mortal bones, and you have the nerve to laugh at me?"

Having checked the effects of the new Yu-Yu elf on his phone and roughly understood the situation just now, Prince Aujin seized the opportunity to mock Yu-Xing without hesitation.

It seems that Prince Auchin wants to take advantage of this opportunity to get his revenge for the humiliation he suffered earlier.

"You're the fool."

Ignoring Prince Auchin's barking, Yusei stretched out his arm and shoved the spell card he had previously searched into the back row of the Duel Disk: "I activate the spell card 'Easy Contact' from my hand. According to this card's effect, I can pay 1000 Life Points to Special Summon one Level 7 or lower Elemental HERO monster or Neo Skull Monster from my Extra Deck, ignoring the Summoning conditions."

Prince Auchin: "What?! It's a Special Summon that ignores the summoning conditions?!"

Yusei: "By the way... if there is no [Elemental HERO Neos] on the field or in the Graveyard, the monster Special Summoned by this effect is negated, cannot attack, and returns to its original owner's Deck during the End Phase..."

However, since I have Neos on my team, this negative effect naturally doesn't exist.

Extending a single finger and waving it in front of him, Yusei spoke in a teasing tone to the gritting Prince Okin, "One card, two actions, have you learned it?"

"...Hmph! Don't get too cocky!"

Prince Auchin, having failed in his argument, wore an extremely embarrassed expression.

Feeling he was losing face, he stubbornly shouted, "So what if I pull out a Level 7 monster from the Extra Deck? You think you can one-shot me?"

"Tsk tsk tsk... This guy is just like an old general with flags all over the stage!" Wan Zhangmu, who had his worldview refreshed by Prince Aujin's various performances, couldn't help but make a tsk tsk sound of admiration, instinctively shaking his head.

He originally thought that losing to heroes was embarrassing enough, but then he discovered there was an even more formidable opponent here, which was truly eye-opening.

"...Let me see, monsters below 7 stars."

Yusei casually pulled out his Extra Deck from the card pouch at his waist, spreading a large handful of cards out in his hand as he observed the situation on the field and considered his next move.

After some deliberation, he finally chose the card with special significance, took it out separately, and slammed it onto the front area of ​​the Duel Disk: "I choose you! Come on, [Elemental HERO Flame Wingman] (Warrior/Wind/Level 6/ATK: 2100/DEF: 1200)!"

As the magic card was activated, Neos, whose body was bathed in a layer of silvery-white light, raised his arm and casually waved it, creating a temporary passage in the void in front of him that connected to the Extra Deck.

As the passage opened, the [Elemental Hero - Flame Wingman], with half a white wing on its back and a dragon-shaped right hand, rushed out of the passage and came to the side of New Universe Knight.

This hero is a 6-star Warrior-type Fusion Monster formed by the fusion of Winged Warrior and Burst Girl, and is also the first Fusion Hero summoned by Jaden Yuki.

His effect is to inflict damage equal to the original ATK of the opponent's monster when it is destroyed in battle and sent to the Graveyard.

Furthermore, he can also fuse with The Flash a second time to become the even more powerful [Elemental Hero: Flash Flame Wingman].

Before the appearance of Neos, this hero was Jaden Yuki's favorite card, appearing very frequently in the early stages.

Faced with the flawed Prince of Orcs, Yusei deliberately chose to Special Summon this hero to the field.

"...Let me see. The satellite cannon has an attack power of 1000, while the Flame Wingman has an attack power of 2100. Hmm... the Neo-Universe Warrior has an attack power of 2500. Together, they will deal 2600 points of damage."

While muttering addition and subtraction on his fingers, Jian Shan, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, said, "In that case... as long as we summon a monster with an attack power of 2400 or more, we can reduce that Prince Auchin's life points to zero!"

"It's a pity that the original attack power of the [Satellite Cannon] is 0, otherwise the Flame Wing Man could have dealt the effect damage again..."

639 My dad has never hit me!

"Let me see... The [Satellite Cannon] only has 1000 attack power, while Neo-Universe Warrior has 2500, and Flame Wingman has 2100..."

"If we enter the combat phase, it will be 1500 points... uh, and another 1100 points of damage..."

"...Sigh! Never mind! Anyway, Yusei-nii is definitely going to win! He didn't even perform a Normal Summon!"

Calculating the damage Prince Aujin was about to suffer, Jian Shan, who was watching, slapped his forehead and revealed a bright smile: "...To be honest, this prince is only a real man for a few seconds at most. As long as he can figure out how to survive that slightly troublesome one-shot kill tactic, then it'll basically be a crushing defeat for him~"

"Given the current situation... if I were in his shoes, I could easily beat him to a pulp!"

The ace monster of Kenzan, [Ultimate Conduction Terror], has the ability to attack all monsters on the opponent's field during a Battle Phase. Even monsters in Defense Position can be forcibly sent to the Graveyard and inflict 1000 effect damage on the opponent.

It also possesses an attack power of up to 3500 points, which means it has Prince Ojin completely under its control.

The more monsters he summons, the greater the damage he will suffer.

"You bastard! How dare you humiliate me, a member of royalty!"

Upon hearing Jianshan's assessment of him, Prince Aojin felt insulted, and his expression turned unfriendly.

Just as he was about to speak up in rebuttal, Yusei made a new move.
