Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

"For the strongest duelist, everything is inevitable!"

"Even the card-drawing process itself is created by the duelists!"

Suddenly, Dark Wanderer uttered words that left everyone present bewildered.

What nonsense are you spouting?

"How could such a thing be possible?"

Titan couldn't help but let out a disdainful snort at Darkstar's words.

"No way..."

Only Yusei knew that Overlord intended to finish the battle quickly, planning to slaughter Titan in his very first round...

Dark Star's body was gradually enveloped in a pale golden light.

To his right, the entire face of the card at the top of the deck was dyed a brilliant gold!

"Now's the time! Flash gacha!"

(Dark Star's hand size: 3 → 4)

Dark Yusei opened his eyes and pulled the gold-colored card out of the Duel Disk.

The card swept past him, leaving a golden afterimage...

Upon seeing this bizarre scene, everyone present, including Jaden Yuki, gaped in astonishment.

Titan's chin slammed onto the floor with a loud thud.

"you you you……"

He pointed at Dark Wanderer with trembling hands. The disdainful expression from before had vanished, replaced by undisguised shock.

"Hehehehe..."

As Dark Star looked at the card he had drawn, he couldn't help but let out a playful laugh.

"You are already dead."

"In this round, your LP will be reduced to zero."

Golden Eyes stared directly at Titan, and Dark Star delivered his final judgment.

Next, it will be time for the execution!

"What a joke!"

"I have two powerful monsters on my field, and I also have a face-up in the back row."

"What nonsense is this guy, who's practically sitting on the field, spouting?!"

Upon hearing Darkstar's arrogant remarks, Titan instinctively retorted.

He couldn't believe that he, with his full LP, would really face the tragic fate of defeat in this round, just as the brat in front of him said.

"I have a feeling that Yusei is a bit scary these days..."

Marufuji Sho gripped Yuki Judai's arm and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

At this moment, Yusei seemed to vaguely see a huge black shadow behind him that blotted out the sky.

Mojera, who had previously put immense pressure on them, and Titan, the man in black, had been shrouded in this blurry shadow since the beginning... without them even realizing it.

"I activate the Demon-type Spell Card [Dark Fusion] from my hand."

Instead of answering Titan's question, Dark Star inserted the Spell Card he had just added to his hand using "Flash Draw" into the Duel Disk to activate it.

"Dark Fusion... A card never seen before..."

"what is that……"

Does Yusei have this card in his deck?

Everyone had some questions about the new card that appeared before them.

The projection of [Dark Fusion] appeared on the field.

Centered on the projection of this card, a black vortex of air suddenly erupted.

Although it is somewhat different from the usual Fusion Spell Cards.

But clearly, this vortex-like airflow is the prelude to activating the "Fusion" spell card.

"I will use the [Evil Hero - Evil Blade Demon] in my hand, and the [Evil Hero - Ferocious Corpse Demon] that I just added to my hand through the effect of Shadow Mist Lady, as materials for Dark Fusion."

"Come forth! [Evil Hero - Evil Blade Death Demon] (Demon/Dark/8-Star/Attack 3000/Defense 3000)!"

The azure-blue ghostly fire shot into the sky from the vortex-like airflow.

A terrifying demon, cloaked in black, with four enormous bone spikes extending from its back, its entire body covered in purple bone armor, and its hands equipped with massive demonic claws, emerged from the Netherfire.

"Ughhhh..." The appearance of the Evil Blade Death Demon caused Titan to instinctively take a few steps back.

A very ominous feeling suddenly welled up inside him.

This terrifying demon seems to be even more frightening than its own Magella!

"Evil Hero... is it a new Hero Monster?" Jaden Yuki pondered, stroking his chin as he looked at the monster that had appeared on the Dark Wanderer's Field.

"I activate the monster effect of [Evil Hero - Evil Blade Death Demon]. Destroy all monsters on your opponent's field that have this card's ATK or less. Also, for each monster destroyed by this effect, Evil Blade Death Demon's ATK increases by 200."

"……What did you say?"

"How is this possible??? I don't believe such a thing could happen!!!"

Darkstar's voice echoed in Titan's ears.

Upon hearing the effect of the Evil Blade Death Demon, the Titan collapsed to the ground with a thud...

The Evil Blade Death Demon has an attack power of 3000 points, which is higher than that of the Demon Lord Magella and the Demon Queen of Inferno.

This effect is equivalent to letting a Titan take a direct hit from a lightning strike.

All the monsters on his field will be destroyed by the effect of the Evil Blade Death Demon!

"Go! Evil Blade Death Demon! Evil Heart Explodes!"

Dark Star gave instructions to the monster in front of him.

"Roar!!!"

A terrifying roar came from the mouth of the Evil Blade Death Demon.

The enormous body seemed unaffected by gravity, leaping into the air in an instant.

From his palms, enormous bone spikes emerged, piercing through both Mojera and the Demon Queen of Inferno.

The evil blade Death Demon, which destroyed two monsters, has its attack power increased to 3400 points!

126 Regret (3K)

Dark Star, having activated the effect of Evil Blade Death Demon and destroyed all the monsters on Titan's field, did not rush to set up his strategy. Instead, he suddenly spoke up and asked Titan a question.

"You said you were a Dark Duelist, right?"

"To engage in a dark duel, we need to use the Millennium Item."

"Do you have something like that in your hands?"

Titan, who had collapsed to the ground, only remembered that he still possessed the "Millennium Puzzle," a powerful weapon, after hearing Yusei's words!

Even if you lose the duel, you don't need to worry about any consequences.

By using the "Mind Shock" of the Millennium Puzzle, everyone present can fall into a coma.

With such a backup plan, what am I afraid of?

As if grasping at a straw, Titan suddenly stood up from the ground.

He dusted himself off and calmly took the "Millennium Blocks" out of his coat pocket.

"Jie Jie Jie Jie..."

"If you hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten about this."

"Now you'll regret not being able to defeat me in time!"

A sinister laugh escaped from Titan's mouth.

He held the rope binding the "Millennium Block" and aimed it at the Dark Star.

Clearly, seeing that he couldn't beat Dark Star in card duels, Titan was planning to cheat by relying on the Millennium Puzzle in his hand.

"Look! This is the legendary item—the Millennium Puzzle, proof of the Dark Game!"

As Titan's voice faded, golden light began to shine from the eye engraving on the front of the Millennium Puzzle.

"What? This guy actually has a millennium-old artifact!"

Jaden Yuki exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the Millennium Puzzle in Titan's hand.

On the stone slab on the second floor of the old school building, Yuki and his two companions learned about the Millennium Treasures. They were surprised to see the real thing so soon.

According to legend, there are seven artifacts that last for a thousand years: the Millennium Building Block, the Millennium Eye, the Millennium Balance Scales, the Millennium Key, the Millennium Wheel of Wisdom, the Millennium Staff, and the Millennium Jewelry.

Within these ancient building blocks once resided the soul of a pharaoh.

At the end of the first Yu-Gi-Oh! series, Yami Yugi—Ogre Atem—who regained his memories, used the Seven Sacred Treasures to open the gates of the underworld and left this world.

The ancient artifacts, having been lost for millennia, fell into the depths of the royal tomb along with the ancient stone slabs.

Since then, no one has seen any trace of them.

It's unbelievable that the Millennium Puzzle could be found in Titan's hands again today.

……

"Disappear! Mind Shock!"

Titan shouted at Darkstar, and then a strong golden light burst forth from the eye imprint of the Millennium Puzzle.
