Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

The 8-star monster, [Cloud Monster - Eye of the Typhoon], originally required two sacrifices to be released before it could be summoned. However, with the effect of [Great Summoning Cloud], this cost was naturally eliminated.

"...[Cloud Demon - Eye of the Typhoon]? What exactly is this monster...?"

Looking up at the one-eyed giant whose body was formed from clouds and whose size almost reached the heavens and the earth, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Is this... Amon's ace monster, the card he pins his hopes for victory on?

"It's not over yet! Next... I'll target my [Cloud Monster - Eye of the Typhoon] on the field and activate the Equip Spell Card in my hand—[Gigantify]!"

"According to this card's effect, when my Life Points are lower than my opponent's Life Points, the equipped monster's ATK will double!"

Amon's remaining health is 800, which is lower than Wan Zhangmu's 2800 health.

Its body swelled once more, literally becoming twice its original size [Cloud Monster - Eye of the Typhoon], and its lower body had already sunk into the lake water at the feet of the two.

At that moment, amidst the rising gales and surging waves of the lake, Amon, adjusting his glasses, gave his monster his final command: "Battle! [Cloud Monster - Eye of the Typhoon] attacks [Disruptive Yellow]! Take this! Perfect Storm!"

"Hmph! My monsters are all in defense mode, so even if they are destroyed, they won't harm me!"

Seeing the incoming attack, Manjou let out a cold laugh: "Even if your monster has the effect of penetrating defense, it will only cause me 2000 points of piercing damage, and it won't wipe out my life points!"

"Oh, is that so?"

Hearing Wan Zhangmu's words, Amon's face showed a smile without saying a word.

At this moment, as the giant swung his arm, a huge tornado appeared out of thin air on the lake surface and rushed straight towards the direction of Wan Zhangmu.

As the tornado drew closer, the monsters on Manjoume's field that should have been in defense position, meaning they wouldn't be harmed even if the tornado was destroyed, began to uncontrollably change their battle positions.

[Disrupts Yellow, Green, and Black] (Attack Power: 0)

"...What? What's going on? What exactly happened?"

Seeing the three monsters in front of him suddenly change their appearance, Manjou couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Damn it! What are you guys doing? Are you planning a rebellion? How dare you!

"Ughhhh... Brother Manjoume, our bodies are out of control~~~"

"……What's the meaning?"

Feeling the unfriendly gaze from behind Wan Zhangmu, the panicked brothers of Chaoluan cried out for justice, telling their leader, Wan Zhangmu, about their current situation.

It wasn't that they wanted to do it, but some inexplicable force suddenly compelled their bodies to abandon their defensive stance and, with zero attack power, face the attack of the eye of the typhoon.

"Heh, let me tell you!"

Responding to Wan Zhangmu's question, Amon calmly explained, "When [Cloud Monster - Eye of the Typhoon] declares an attack, the battle positions of all other monsters on the field, except for [Cloud Monster], will change!"

"In other words, your monster will be in an attack stance to meet my monster's attack!"

"No! I'm going to die! Brother Manjoume, save me!!"

Feeling the immense pressure closing in on him, and seeing his two older brothers beside him turning their heads away with indifferent expressions, the terrified Huang immediately crouched down and cried out for help to Wan Zhangmu behind him.

692. Kill a thousand enemies, lose eight hundred of your own.

With the effect of the equipped magic card "Gigantification", "Disruptive Yellow", which was targeted by the Cyclops "Cloud Monster - Eye of the Typhoon", whose body swelled to twice its original size, had a pitiful 0 attack power.

It can be said that it does absolutely nothing to block Manjoume's attacks.

If nothing unexpected happens, after the eye of the typhoon sweeps across Manjoume's territory, Manjoume will suffer a staggering 6000 points of combat damage...

For someone with only 2800 health points remaining, this was undoubtedly a catastrophe.

"This is the final one! Manjoume!"

"...You are no special person. In this world, there are people who suffer a far more tragic fate than you!"

Facing the boundless horizon, Amon adjusted his glasses and made his final declaration.

As his words fell, a tremendous gust of wind swept in, swaying the three brothers' bodies to the side and causing them to involuntarily emit cries of agony for help.

Among them, Huang, who was chosen as the target of the attack, suffered the most concentrated firepower and disruption. His body was lifted up by the wind pressure and drifted wildly in the air following the direction of the tornado.

Just now, it transformed into the "Disruptive Triangle Hurricane" and wreaked havoc on Amon's entire field.

This time, it's his turn to be the one most ridiculed and to suffer the retaliation from Amon!

"Ughhhhhh... My Banjou-no-Ikari! How could I fall here?! I absolutely cannot accept this!!!"

Feeling the intense pressure of the oncoming tornado, Manjoume's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly stretched out his arm, flipping over the face-down card in the back row: "--Trap Card [Messenger of Peace] activated! According to this card's effect, my monsters cannot be destroyed by battle this turn, and all battle damage I take will be reduced to 0!"

"Varied……?!"

At this critical moment when defeat seemed imminent, Manjoume activated the backup plan he had prepared in advance as a precaution.

Originally, this card was only included in his deck as a precaution against possible unforeseen circumstances. Its effect could only protect him for one turn and could not provide any assistance afterward.

However, to Manjoume's surprise, this card came in very handy at this time.

If we can survive Amon's desperate attack in this round, then his Manjō-gakure lightning will be ready next!

Three women, clad in blue cloaks and with serene expressions, appeared before the three brothers who were disturbing the peace, holding amulets of peace amidst the light of a trap card being activated.

They created a protective barrier in front of them, completely blocking the "perfect storm" generated by the eye of the typhoon from the outside world.

No matter how fiercely the tornado swept through, it couldn't affect this temporarily invincible barrier in the slightest.

At this moment, the liberated Chaos Yellow also fell from mid-air, and as it crashed face-first into the void, it instinctively revealed a relieved expression of surviving a disaster.

Ah! As expected of Brother Manjoume, he is indeed... still so reliable!

Although the movements were a bit rough...

"...How about that? Amon! Now you've exhausted all your tricks! Next up is my turn, Manjoume's turn!"

The attack of 【Cloud Monster - Eye of the Typhoon】 was blocked by the effect of the trap card.

As the massive storm that had swept across the entire area gradually dissipated, the lake beneath Amon and Manjoume's feet slowly returned to its calm state.

Looking at Wan Zhangmu, who was still in good condition with 2800 life points and was currently giving him a provocative look, Amon adjusted his glasses and then placed his last card face down in the back row: "...I'm setting up an ambush. End of turn."

At this moment, Amon's deck had been cleared due to the side effects of the previous [Miracle Cloud].

As he announces the end of this round, the initiative will once again pass to Manjou.

In the current situation, Manjoume doesn't need to do anything. He just needs to draw a card and then declare the end of the turn. Amon will then be defeated because he has no cards left to draw.

That's what makes duels so dramatic.

Just when everyone thought that Manjoume would succumb to the power of the [Cloud Demon - Eye of the Typhoon], he unexpectedly turned the tide and forcibly rewrote the status quo of the duel.

Although Amon still has the [Cloud Monster - Eye of the Typhoon] with an attack power of 6000 standing on his field, for him, who has no future to speak of, this is the end.

"My turn, draw cards."

Looking at Amon, who stood calmly opposite him, showing no joy or sorrow, and seeing the dawn of victory, Manjou wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and drew a card from his deck: "With this, victory is mine!"

Amon: "..."

Before announcing the end of the turn, Manjoume habitually glanced at the cards in his hand and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

[Disruptive Demon Modification]

(Spell Card)

effect:

①: Reveal 1 Machine-Type LIGHT Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck to your opponent, and banish any number of "Disruption" monsters from your hand, field, or Graveyard; Special Summon Fusion Material Monsters equal to the number of monsters banished from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard (maximum 1 of each name).

②: You can banish this card from your Graveyard, then target 3 of your banished "Disruption" monsters; shuffle those monsters into your Deck. After that, draw 1 card from your Deck.

"【Disruptive Magic Modification】...If it were this card...I wish I could have gotten my hands on it sooner..."

Looking at the long-awaited green-bordered magic card in his hand, Manjou couldn't help but let out a faint sigh.

With the effect of this spell card, Manjoume can banish the Disruption Trio from his field and then Special Summon the three Material Monsters of either [ABC-Dragon Destroyer] or [XYZ-Dragon Cannon] to his field at once.

Union monsters with fusion abilities can Special Summon the fused Fusion Monster from the Extra Deck by banishing themselves if they meet certain conditions, even without a Fusion Spell Card.

In Manjoume's original plan, he was supposed to control his powerful monsters and, with both sides having used their ace monsters, inflict massive damage on his opponent through the most normal beam-counting method, thus securing victory in the duel.

However, the reality kept taking unexpected turns, one after another, forcing Manjoume to temporarily change his plans and use the effect of the trap card to survive the most dangerous moment.

Although it wasn't quite what I expected, in any case, this duel was ultimately a victory for him, the Manjō-gaze!

"My turn is over..."

"Wait, at this moment, I'm also planning to activate my trap card."

"...Nani?"

Seeing that Manjoume was about to wave his hand to end his turn with a bored expression, Amon seized the opportunity and immediately interrupted him: "Manjoume, I didn't expect you to be able to push me to this point... Even if it's just to pay tribute to your efforts, let me be a little serious for once!"

"What? You're not planning to struggle, are you?"

At this point, what else does Amon want to do?

It's my turn now! Does he think he can just one-shot me with this trap card? Are you kidding me?

Instinctively, such a thought flashed through Wan Zhangmu's mind.

If he really had such an ability, why didn't he use it during his own turn, but instead waited until now?

Hmph! This guy... he must be bluffing! I'm not going to fall for his tricks!

"Originally, I didn't plan to use this card... After all, the effect of this card is like killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of your own, but under these circumstances, I have no choice but to activate it."

"Kill a thousand enemies, lose eight hundred of your own..."

The adjectives Amon had uttered echoed in his ears, and suddenly Wan Zhangmu's eyes widened as if he had just realized something: "Could it be...could it be that the face-down card in your backcourt is?!"

Dead memories suddenly surfaced from the depths of his mind, transforming into a fist that launched a direct attack on Manjoume himself.

Upon realizing what Amon was about to do, Manjoume's eyes widened in disbelief.

Damn it! How could anyone save this "little brother" card for last?! Did this guy plan this all along, intending to find someone to take his place?

"...Ha! Looks like you already know what I'm planning to do."

Adjusting his glasses, Amon said this, then after giving a deep look to Wan Zhangmu, whose eyes were filled with surprise, he suddenly flipped open the face-down card in the back row: "...Ambush card open! At this moment, I activate the trap card in the back row—[Destruction Wheel]!"
