Chapter 127: The Counterattack Begins
C1 "Growing Flower" effect activated, I add Giant Ghoul Magella to my hand.
Yao Shang didn't move. The Flower Baroness's second effect could only be used once, so she didn't plan to use it.
"I'll set a card down to end this round."
Di Xing's lips twitched uncontrollably as he looked at the monster on Yao Shang's field.
How should we describe Yao Shang's current situation?
Let's take stock of the monsters.
【Baroness of Flowers】, the noble tricolor Kang (can nullify the activation of magic, traps, and monster effects);
[Formula Athlete, Lightning Track Champion], Spell and Trap Con (can nullify the activation of magic and trap effects);
The hand contains [Crimson Light Declarer] and [Green Light Declarer], which can be used to counter monsters or spells depending on the situation;
[The Lurking Abyss] Graveyard Lockdown (Prevents the opponent from activating Graveyard card effects)
【Tears of Elegy - Rusaka Mermaid】Special Summon Counter (can negate the Special Summon of monsters)
The face-down card on the field should be 【The Lament of a Wicked One】, with the effect "Negate" (it can negate the opponent's activated effects).
There's also the invincible [Twin Knight Astram], whose attack selection is restricted (the opposing player can only attack him).
Fighting King (When battling a Special Summoned monster, your attack increases by the same amount as the opponent's monster's ATK, meaning you are guaranteed to win the battle).
Furthermore, it also has the effect of [IP: Lena from the Prom], and will not be disrupted by other effects.
Furthermore, she must have The Little Mermaid in her hand, otherwise she wouldn't have used up Satellite Shining so easily.
Once the Little Mermaid's effect is activated, it may also summon either Mimi (【Shadowdew Midrash】) or the Footwasher Dragon (【Predatory Hercules Rhinoceros】).
Xiaomi allows Di Xing to perform a special summon only once per turn.
Washing Feet Dragon can negate the activation of Dixing's monster effects and render them ineffective.
Even so, he managed to remove Pearl World (card-bombing effect) and Kaledorhat (deck-boosting effect) during his opponent's turn.
Simply put, Di Xing was completely suppressed.
This scene couldn't help but remind him of the underworld scene in a Yu-Gi-Oh! novel written by a famous author that he had read in the modern world.
But in that novel, the protagonist stands behind the weeping lament, feeling utterly at ease, while facing utter despair.
But in this situation, he stands opposite the one who sheds tears and sings mournful songs.
At that moment, looking at Yao Shang's location, he couldn't help but recall the famous song, "I should be there (under the car), not here (in the car)."
If he didn't respect his opponent, he would have been ready to win quickly in the top right corner.
However, if his face-down card truly represents "The Lament of a Lifetime of Evil" rather than "The Clear Echo of a Lifetime of Evil," then he still has a chance to survive.
As a result, at this time
"You stinky Dixing, you'd better surrender now!" Nami shouted.
“That’s right, Di Xing, you can’t possibly defeat Senior Yao Shang. You should surrender quickly,” Ai Xiao added.
All the women were already standing behind Yao Shang on the opposite side.
Di Xing's lips twitched even more violently.
Tears welled up in my mind, and there it was, quietly singing, "You should be there (under the car), not here (in the car)."
It's not tears that make you feel sorry for me; can you read my heart?
But then he caught sight of Ruan Nuo still firmly standing by his side, and he couldn't help but happily pick her up and rub his face against her soft little face.
"That's great, Ruan Nuo. I knew you wouldn't betray me."
Ruan Nuo felt utterly hopeless after being taken advantage of.
With a small hand raised, she broke free from Di Xing's embrace and silently walked to the other side.
Di Xing couldn't help but make the Er Kang gesture.
Damn it, the more you guys act like this, the more I want to win!
"My turn, draw a card!" Di Xing forcefully drew the top card of his deck.
"At this moment, I activate the effect of Lurking Abyss, removing 1 counter to activate it. You cannot activate the effects of cards in your Graveyard this turn." The timing of C1's appearance caused Yao Shang to slightly furrow his handsome brows.
But she wasn't afraid, because she had a three-color counter on the field, a spell/trap counter, and two Declarants in her hand. She was confident she could make the effect of Lurker of the Abyss work.
"I chain-activate the Quick-Play Spell Card [Cluster of the Moon Goddess (cu)]"
"What? This card is...?" A duelist of Yao Shang's caliber couldn't possibly be unaware of this card; it might indeed be able to resolve Di Xing's current predicament.
"This card's effect is: Send a monster from my Extra Deck to the Graveyard, then target one monster of the same type as that monster on your opponent's field. Return that monster to its owner's Deck, and you cannot activate any monster's effect in response to this card's activation."
"What!" The women exclaimed in surprise, "Why does Di Xing have such a powerful card?"
No one noticed that Ai Xiao was nervously fiddling with her pigtails.
"I send [Whispering Bird] from my Extra Deck to the Graveyard, and bounce [Lurking Abyss] back to your Deck."
Seeing that Yao Shang hadn't triggered a chain reaction, Di Xing breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the card on the field was indeed Lament, not Echo.
In that case, my chances of winning are already there.
"While your ineffective effects are numerous, they are of different types. I don't need to go through every single pitfall; I only need to target the specific area I want to break through. And what I need to break through now is the 'Strange Effect Concentrate'," Di Xing declared confidently.
"If I activate the effect of [Daitaro the Wizard] in my Graveyard, and this card is in my Graveyard, and I have two or more Zombie-Type cards other than this card in my Graveyard, I discard 1 card from my hand to activate this effect: I discard [Bone Prince] and add it to my hand."
"【Bone Prince】's Graveyard effect activated, the Bone Couple enters the graveyard!"
Yao Shang did not take action against this chain of events.
It seems she realized this was a feint, and Di Xing's original goal was to throw the White Bone Prince, so even if she was defeated, it wouldn't matter much, since throwing the White Bone Prince was the cost.
Furthermore, she cannot activate the Little Mermaid's effect right now, because the Little Mermaid can only be activated when the opponent activates a monster's effect on the field.
"I usually summon the [Bone King]."
"At this moment, the effect of [The Sound of Piercing Through Eternity] activates. If I have the Tearful Lament monster on my field, and a monster is Normal or Special Summoned to the field, send three cards from my Deck to the Graveyard."
The "Distant Sorrow" deck sends three cards to the graveyard.
The first image is of the ancient guard, Argento.
The second image is [Sword Priest Mudora].
The third image is of [Ancient Vanguard Kelberk].
"【Ancient Guardian Agito】Grave Deliverance Effect Activated" C1
"【Ancient Vanguard Kelpock】Grave Deliverance Effect Activated" (C2)
Results settlement
Both sides sent ten cards to the graveyard.
Among them are the Crusaders, the Bone King, Melo, the Sirens, the Little Mermaid, and the Shaddoll.
"[Blocking Crusader] effect activated, I choose to change [Tearful Lament - Rusaka Mermaid] to Defense Position" C1
"It's useless. Fusion Summoning is the only way to summon monsters that can be fused together," Yao Shang said leisurely.
Di Xing did not return, and continued speaking
"【White Bone Roast King】Grave Delivery Effect Activated" C2
"【Tears of Elegy Clan - Mermaid of Mermaid】Grave Departure Effect Activated" C3
"【Tears of Elegy Clan - Little Mermaid】Grave Departure Effect Activated" C4
"【Shadowmon】Graveyard effect activated" C5
