Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

Page 77

"My turn, draw a card!"

Jaden Yuki drew a new card from his deck.

He looked at his hand and smiled knowingly.

"What are you grinning about over there like an idiot for?!" Seeing Judai Yuki's frank smile, Manjoume couldn't help but frown.

Whether it was Yusei before, or Jaden Yuki now...

Those red guys from Osiris are all so annoying!

What? You mean there's another one, Marufuji Sho?

Ha, that cowardly fellow doesn't even deserve to be my opponent.

What's there to mention?

……

"Hehe... You're here!"

As he spoke, Judai Yuki showed the magic card [Fusion] in his hand to Manjoume.

"Manjoume, you just said my deck is full of useless, trash hero monsters, right?"

"I did say it, so what?" Manjoume crossed his arms and gave Yuki Judai a disdainful look.

"Then I'll show you the true nature of a hero!"

"The ordinary monsters with low attack power that you see are just their appearance. Don't be surprised when you see their true forms!"

Upon hearing Judai Yuki recount the words he had spoken to him during the entrance exam, Professor Kunonos pressed himself against the glass wall of the stands, intently watching Judai Yuki's every move.

Back then, I was just like Manjoume now.

I felt utterly disdainful of what Yuki Judai said.

My team has the Ancient Mechanical Giant on the field, with an attack power of 3000.

Are they afraid of the lower-level minions of [Elemental Heroes]?

Oh ho ho ho~ That's utterly ridiculous.

As a result, he, who held this idea, was taught a lesson by Jaden Yuki's [Flame Winged Man]!

He himself became a stepping stone for Jaden Yuki...

The situation that Manjoume was facing at that moment was very similar to his own back then.

This silly boy still doesn't realize how serious the problem is!

"I activate the Spell Card [Fusion] from my hand!"

"Use [Elemental HERO The Flash] and [Elemental HERO Clayman] from your hand as materials for Fusion Summon!"

Jaden Yuki sent his remaining two cards, along with the spell card [Fusion], to the Graveyard.

He has now used up all his cards.

"Fusion Summon! [Elemental Hero - Thunder Giant]!"

【Elemental Hero: Thunder Giant】

(Warrior/Light/6-star/Attack 2400/Defense 1500)

Fusion materials: [Elemental Heroes: The Flash] + [Elemental Heroes: Nendoroid]

effect:

This monster cannot be Special Summoned except by Fusion Summon. When this card is Fusion Summoned, destroy 1 face-up monster on the field whose original ATK was lower than this card's ATK.

The Flash and Clayman appeared on the field.

The two of them, back to back, kept spinning around like that.

A vertical tornado was generated centered on their bodies.

The stadium suddenly went dark. As a bolt of lightning flashed, the enormous golden giant broke through the tornado and slowly landed on the field.

"what?"

As Manjōmu stared at the thunder giant that had appeared on the field, a sense of foreboding flashed through his mind.

"The Thunder Giant can destroy a monster whose attack power was originally lower than its own," Jaden Yuki said slowly.

"Its attack power is lower than mine... Could it be?" Manjoume looked at the only monster on his field, the V-Jet Tiger equipped with W-Eject Wing.

The original attack power of the V-Jet Tiger is 1600, which is lower than the Thunder Giant's 2400 attack power.

"That's it!"

"I activate Thunder Giant's monster effect to destroy [V-Jet Tiger]!"

Upon receiving the order, the Thunder Giant charged in front of the V-Jet Tiger and opened its massive right hand.

On his right hand was a blue jewel.

Countless bolts of lightning gathered around the precious pearl.

While the Thunder Giant's body wasn't as exaggerated as the Earth Core Hero's, it was still exceptionally large compared to ordinary monsters.

At least for now, even the V-Jet Tiger equipped with the W-Ejection Wing is only half the size of the Thunder Giant.

The gathered lightning struck the V-Jet Tiger.

If [V-Jet Tiger] is destroyed by the effect of Thunder Giant, Manjoume will face an empty field.

With his current LP of 2200, he obviously cannot withstand the attack of the Thunder Giant, whose attack power is as high as 2400.

"If I activate the effect of [W-Catapult Wing], and the equipped monster is destroyed, I can destroy this card instead!"

Faced with the Thunder Giant's charge, Manjoume decisively activated the protective effect of [W-Ejection Wing].

The blue wings beneath the V-Jet Tiger disengaged from their combined form and took its place to block the Thunder Giant's lightning strike.

Without its equipment card, the [V-Jet Tiger]'s attack power reverts to 1600 points.

"what?"

Seemingly not expecting the monster to have such an effect, Jaden Yuki hesitated for a moment.

Jaden Yuki originally planned to destroy the monsters on Manjoume's field before launching a direct attack to win the duel.

Unexpectedly, Manjoume actually blocked the effect of the Thunder Giant.

"Well done!"

"Next comes the Thunder Giant's attack! Can you withstand it this time?"

As Yukichi Judai spoke, he swung his right fist while thinking of the direction of Manjou.

"Take this! Destructive Lightning!"

The Thunder Giant extended its other hand and unleashed an even more powerful lightning strike on the V-Jet Tiger.

The V-Jet Tiger, having been hit a second time, was finally destroyed and sent to the graveyard.

"Well……"

Manjoume held the Duel Disk in front of him, blocking the gray smoke generated by the destruction of the monster.

(LP of Wan Zhang Mu: 2200→1400)

(Yuki Jaden's LP: 4000)

"End of round."

Having finished his attack, Jaden Yuki lowered his arm and quietly gazed at Manjoume opposite him.

"As expected of the eldest brother! That arrogant guy Manjoume is no match for the eldest brother at all!" Marufuji Sho watched the scene on the field and couldn't help but clench his fist.

"..." Daichi Misawa crossed his arms and remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.

"Is that right?"

Yusei didn't think Manjoume could be such a weak duelist.

So far, we haven't seen the ace monster, Manjō-moku.

It's obvious that Manjoume has been hiding his true abilities.

107 Complete Form! VWXYZ - Powerful Dragon Cannon!

"Manjou-san... are you alright...?"

"If this continues, he'll lose to Jaden Yuki!"

The two henchmen of Manjou, sitting in the audience, couldn't help but show worried expressions.

Just now in the corridor, Professor Kunonos handed over the rare card he had snatched to Manjoume.

Manjoume also added these cards to his deck.

The current Manjoume should theoretically be stronger than when he fought Yusei.
