Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Roar of the Weak

Chapter 142 Detoxification

"I'll set a card to end this turn. How about it? Can you break through this monster with all resistances?"

While verbally mocking him, Maktu was inwardly calculating: This Di Xing is very strong. He had seen the combat video of Di Xing against Zuo Feiji from other infiltrators. Although his Red-Eyes Black Steel Dragon was almost fully resistant, the opponent had many ways to counter it.

However, with a full deck, using "Bone Tower Absorbing Essence" is clearly inappropriate. Furthermore, Red-Eyes Black Steel Dragon carries one three-color counter and one Bloodthirst. If he activates "Summoning Exophysis" to try and kill me by destroying the strongest Bone King, I have a chance to kill him first.

So all I need to do is watch out for him using the [Penetration Test Shovel Armor] to penetrate my defenses and kill me. However, my face-down card is [Guardian Barrier], a trap card that can be activated during battle damage calculation, reducing the battle damage I took in that battle to zero and drawing a card.

However, he might destroy his own trap, so it's best to be cautious.

"Draw a card on my turn, then set one card and Normal Summon 'Fallen Warrior.' When 'Fallen Warrior' is Normal Summoned, send one Zombie-Type monster from your Deck to the Graveyard. Do you want to chain it?"

Marktu pondered: If the Fallen Warrior leaves the field because of my effect, it will Special Summon a monster of level 4 or lower to the field. The effect of Red-Eyes Black Steel Dragon will only negate it and will not destroy the card, so it is quite suitable to deal with it. However, I only have one counter card right now, so it is better to be cautious.

Furthermore, even if [Fallen Warrior] is ineffective now, he might still revive the Singing Zombie in the graveyard, and neutralizing it now would mean losing the chance to unleash a burst of blood. Therefore, Maktu chose not to follow the chain.

But a sly smile crept across Di Xing's lips.

"What I'm sending to the grave is [the lingering spirit of the dungeon]."

"what?"

Upon hearing the card name, Maktu's expression changed. He had carefully collected information on Di Xing and had no idea that Di Xing possessed this card.

"When the Dungeon's Wanderer is sent to the Graveyard, you can activate its effect to send all cards on my field to the Graveyard, and then send the same number of cards on your field to the Graveyard."

"Send it to the graveyard instead of destroying it? But my [Red-Eyes Black Steel Dragon] won't be a target of monster effects."

"Sorry, the effect of the 'lingering spirit' in the dungeon is indiscriminate."

"What?! You won't get away with this! I'm activating the effect of [Red-Eyes Black Steel Dragon], negating the effect of [Dungeon's Wanderer]!"

"It's useless; neither side can counter the Graveyard Sending Effect (one effect) of [Dungeon Wanderer] to activate the monster's effect."

"They can't even connect with the chain?"

Suddenly, countless tentacles emerged from the ground of Dixing's arena, dragging the terrified Fallen Warrior and the Gaika in the backcourt into the ground. Then, countless tentacles also emerged from the ground of Maktu's half of the arena. Red-Eyes Black Steel Dragon frantically spat out black flames in terror, but it could not cause any damage to these tentacles. It could only helplessly be entangled by the tentacles and dragged into the ground.

Thus, Red-Eyes Black Steel Dragon and the face-down card Guardian Barrier on Marktu's field were sent to the graveyard. Because Red-Eyes Black Steel Dragon went to the graveyard, all three of its equipment cards also went to the graveyard.

As the cards entered the graveyard, Di Xing suddenly felt a chill, as if countless tentacles were binding him. The tentacles were covered in a disgusting, fishy-smelling slime. Just as he was about to be dragged into an underground dungeon in the sea, Lei Xi in his mind hurriedly called out to him. Di Xing quickly rallied his spirits and broke free from this mental prison.

It seems I haven't completely mastered this card yet, and using it now carries a lot of risk! Or rather, it turned into a card following me just to better capture me. In any case, it's best to use this card less often in the future.

"I activate the Spell Card 'Forbidden Book of the Living' from my hand, banishing Red-Eyes Black Steel Dragon from your Graveyard, reviving Singing Zombie from my Graveyard, activating Singing Zombie's 2nd effect, sending Bone King from my Deck to the Graveyard, and increasing Singing Zombie's Level by 1."

"The effect of the Bone King is to take two and discard one. I add the Bone Lord and the Bone Prince to my hand, discard the Bone Prince, and then send the Bone Couple to the Graveyard."

"I activate the effect of Singing Zombie again, discard the Bone Prince from my hand, increase Singing Zombie's Level by 1, send the Bone Prince to the Graveyard, and then send the Bone Couple to the Graveyard."

"I will discard another Bone Lord. There are 11 Bone Lords in the graveyard. Send 11 cards to the graveyard."

"I will sever the Bone Lord of the graveyard and resurrect the Bone King."

"There are 14 skeletons in the graveyard, so the Skeleton King's attack power is [points]. Excluding the [Shiranui Style - Talent Formation] in the graveyard, the Skeleton King's attack is unaffected by your effects."

"The Bone King is attacking directly!"

The Bone King's massive fist struck Maktu, sending him flying and defeating him in the duel.

While flying through the air, Makto didn't forget to leave behind two classic villain lines: "What an awful feeling, but I'll definitely be back, meow!"

Then, not forgetting to launch a small rocket, it sent the antidote back.

"This guy is probably a comedian," Di Xing remarked.

By this time, Vitty had arrived at the water's edge. She carefully examined the water and discovered it had turned purple. Angrily, she slammed her fist on the ground. "The water is indeed polluted!"

"What should we do? Should we try his antidote?"

"It seems there's no better way right now, but the contaminated area is quite large, and I'm afraid this small tube of antidote won't be very effective."

At this moment, Di Xing held the antidote up to his eyes and examined it closely, discovering that it contained many tiny slimes.

After hesitating for a moment, Di Xing opened the antidote and poured the slime into the water.

As a result, upon contact with the contaminated water, these slimes immediately swelled up, began frantically sucking in water, and then, like whales, expelled water from small holes on their heads. The water that was expelled had regained its clear color.

The slime gradually turned purple, and when it became almost black, it split into two smaller slimes. The smaller slimes then returned to blue and continued filtering the water.

It seems the poison in the water is their energy source.

In this way, the slimes multiplied rapidly, soon forming a large swarm that completely cleaned the water in less than an hour.

Without the toxins to replenish their bodies, the slimes quickly withered and died, turning into clear water.

"These guys actually prepared such a powerful antidote! Then why did they go through all that trouble to poison me?" Di Xing was completely bewildered. "Are these guys from the Dark Mechanics team crazy?!"

"Or perhaps they have some other conspiracy, otherwise they wouldn't have joined forces with the Li family," Vivian pondered.
