Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

"You watch out, kid! This monster is the real ace in my deck!"

"Tribute the [Warrior of Jera] on the field to Special Summon - [Great Demon King Magella] (Demon/DARK/Level 8/ATK 2800/DEF 2300)!"

Titan extended his palm and placed [Great Demon King Magella] from his hand in place of [Zera's Warrior] in the front row of the Duel Disk, then placed [Zera's Warrior] into his Graveyard.

As he moved, a black beam of light suddenly shot out from the mouth of a demon statue created by the field magic [Pandemon Temple - Lair of Evil] towards [Jera's Warrior].

The warrior of Jera, struck by the beam of light, clutched his head, crouched down in pain, and dropped his magic sword to the cold ground.

"Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow..."

Black flames gradually emerged on the outside of [Jera's Warrior]'s body.

The warriors of Jera, bathed in this flame, underwent a tremendous change in appearance.

The previous human form no longer exists; in its place is a great demon that has been resurrected from the Pandemonium!

124 You think you have a big advantage?

The many glories of the past have now all vanished like smoke.

The lone warrior, [Jera's Warrior], who relentlessly pursued the location of the Sanctuary and longed to become an archangel, ultimately succumbed to the temptations of the demons. He was consumed by the corrupted black flames in [Pandemon Palace - The Lair of Evil] and became the great demon he never wanted to be.

And so, under everyone's watchful eyes, huge green fleshy wings suddenly unfurled from behind [Jera's Warrior].

Its body began to swell, its eyes gradually turned bloodshot, its expression uncontrollably became ferocious, the sharp horns on its head forked again, and its hands, which were originally wearing green gloves, gradually turned into sharp claws...

When the warrior of Jera stood up again, he had transformed from a warrior wielding a demonic sword into a terrifying demon—the Great Demon King, Morjera.

Facing the empty field of Dark Star, Mojera instinctively roared at him.

A strong wind pressure swirled around Magella's body and blew towards the direction where Yami Yusei and Jaden Yuki were.

"Ha... Ridiculous!"

The storm that approached Dark Star's body automatically split apart just before it touched him, avoiding his body and blowing to both sides.

It was as if an impenetrable wall of sighs existed around Dark Wanderer's body.

"What's wrong with this kid...?"

Seeing Dark Wanderer's uniform being whipped up by the surrounding wind pressure without any effect whatsoever, Titan couldn't help but start to panic.

Something is wrong!

How can there be such a powerful will among duelists of this age?!

What's going on with this brat named Yusei?

In the request from that guy Kunonos, there was no mention of dealing with such a strange guy!

……

"【Great Demon King - Mojera】...What a terrifying monster..."

Unlike the calm and collected Yami Yusei, Marufuji Sho and Hayato instinctively hid behind Yuki Jaden, feeling the terrifying pressure emanating from the monster, their teeth chattering uncontrollably.

Even at such a distance, their bodies were trembling uncontrollably...

It's truly unimaginable how intense the feeling must have been for Yusei, who was right in the center of this oppressive aura, facing this terrifying monster directly...

Jaden Yuki placed his arm in front of his cheek to shield himself from the storm that had arisen from Magella's appearance.

He stared at the colossal demon on the Titan field, and at Dark Wanderer, whose uniform hem fluttered in the wind but remained motionless, not even taking a single step back, his eyes gleaming with intense light!

As expected of the strongman who defeated me! He remained calm even in this critical situation!

I knew it! How could a duelist as powerful as Yusei possibly lose to such a despicable scoundrel!

Titan was lying after all!

ah ah ah...

I really want to strangle that annoying Titan so I can fight Yusei instead!!!

At this moment, Jaden Yuki couldn't help but have this thought in his mind.

……

"The effect of [Great Demon King - Mojera] is activated!"

"When you control a Field Spell [Pandemon's Den -], if this card is Special Summoned by Tributing [Jera's Warrior], you can randomly discard three cards from your opponent's hand!"

Titan suppressed his inner turmoil and activated the monster effect of Magella.

【Great Demon King - Mojera】possesses the terrifying effect of destroying three cards in the opponent's hand...

No matter how powerful a duelist is, they still need cards to make their moves.

With most of their hand destroyed in a single turn, they simply cannot unleash their full potential.

In past duels, this effect of Magella has helped Titan defeat several duelists who were originally stronger than him.

Today, in order to deal with Yusei, Titan specifically summoned this monster to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

He wanted to make this kid named Yusei kneel down in front of him.

Only his defeat can wash away his sense of humiliation!

"What!?"

"Three of my cards were destroyed in one go... Yusei is in danger now!"

Marufuji Sho recalled the scene during the previous monthly exam, when his hand and deck were wiped out in one fell swoop by Yusei's "Genmei Style".

The current situation isn't as dire as it was before, but losing three cards in one go is still a significant blow...

Even someone as strong as Yusei would probably find it quite troublesome...

"Go! Quickly discard those three cards!"

Seeing the unmoved Darkstar, Titan couldn't help but urge him on.

Just as I expected! It seems that the effect of the Magellan has hit this kid's weak spot!

That reluctant (or perhaps reluctant?) attitude is the best proof!

“Ahahahahahaha!!!”

Feeling the joy brought by "Plan Ahead," Titan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"..."

Under Titan's watchful eye and urging, Yusei placed his three cards into the graveyard.

He now only has two cards left in his hand.

"At this moment, the effect of [Elemental HERO - Lady of the Mist] activates! If this card is sent to the Graveyard, I can add 1 [HERO] monster from my Deck to my hand."

As Titan laughed, Darkstar's emotionless voice began to echo in his ears.

Because of the effect of Magella's discarding card, the Shadow Mist Lady's own effect was triggered, allowing Dark Yusei to choose one [Hero] monster from the deck and add it to his hand.

"Helping your opponent search for cards...you're such a kind person!"

Dark Wanderer uttered words that were clearly sarcastic.

"Tut (fuck dish fuck)..."

Upon hearing Darkstar's mockery, Titan's laughter abruptly ceased.

He tried hard to keep his mouth shut, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word.

"I've laid a trap... Turn over!"

"Next... it's your turn!"

After calming himself down a few times, Titan finally waved goodbye and ended his turn.

……

The Pandemonium in the field area, a face-down card in the back field, and [Great Demon King Magella] and [Queen of Inferno Demon] in the front field area.

This is Titan's current configuration.

To outsiders, Titan's strength might not be underestimated.

But in An Youxing's eyes at this moment, this arena with no suppressive power was practically a freebie!

Next, it's my turn.

When it came time to draw cards, Yami Yusei didn't rush to draw new cards from his deck. Instead, he placed his index and middle fingers on the deck and then slowly closed his eyes...

125 Dark Fusion, Evil Blade Death Demon!

"What is Yusei planning to do?"

Seeing that Yami Yusei didn't rush to draw a card but instead chose to close his eyes, Marufuji Sho couldn't help but ask him a question.

"I don't know... It can't be that he's sleepy..."

Hayato scratched his head and said somewhat uncertainly.

After all, it's late at night, a good time to sleep.

"...Oh my god!!! Is it coming!!!"

Seeing Yami Yusei's actions, Jaden Yuki seemed to have found a kindred spirit, and his face lit up with excitement.

"Hey! You're not planning to use 'that move', are you...?" Seeing the Overlord's actions, Yusei, who had been observing from his inner world, finally couldn't help but ask.

"That's right, just like you thought, it's 'that'."

In response to Yusei's riddle-solving behavior, Bawang also gave a corresponding riddle-solving answer.

Yusei and Overlord are two separate individuals. The one currently dueling with Titan is a being known as "Dark Yusei".

Using Yusei's body, he reveals a personality that belongs to another timeline, the Overlord.

Their communication also takes place in their minds.

From the outside, Yami Yusei simply closed his eyes and placed his hands on the deck.
