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

Chapter 267 Legacy Ceremony vs. Devil's Rescue

Just as Di Xing was about to shut down the terminal, the phantom of the Ancient Fiery God suddenly appeared on the screen, startling Di Xing.

Then it gently raised its hand, and a magic card materialized in the air before Di Xing—the [Aftermath of War].

As Di Xing was still in shock, the figure of the ancient Fiery Prison God completely vanished.

Di Xing received a magic card that read, Clue Card - dt-06. Hmm, what's the pattern behind these Clue Cards?

He'd already suspected it before—how could such precious clue cards end up in the hands of a villainous nobody? Now these cards are appearing out of nowhere? Did these clue cards always exist in this world? Ugh, I don't understand, it's giving me a headache.

We've arrived.

With Kit's cheerful voice, Di Xing and his group finally arrived at the competition arena in the clean water area.

The water purification area's arena was as rudimentary as the scrap metal and livestock areas, but its exterior walls were carefully painted blue, resembling a giant rising wall of water.

Di Xing and his group entered and found Shi Xun and Aria already in place, ready to begin their duel.

Di Xing and his group hurriedly went to the stands to find seats, but the stands were already almost full. In the end, they only found a few seats next to the away spectator section behind Shi Xun.

"Wow, Brother Di Xing! You're here too!"

"Long Ying? Luggage? Are you here to watch the game too?"

That's right, they were the audience from the slag heap.

"My name is Xing Yi!" Xing Yi protested indignantly.

"Hehe, Brother Di Xing, this time we're supporting different people than you!"

"Okay, let's cheer for each other's supporters! But let's make it clear first, my Ariar is incredibly strong."

Just then, the loudspeaker came on, and it was a very pleasant female voice.

Hello everyone! Welcome to the Water Purification Zone competition arena. Today's duel will be between our second reserve player, the adorable Aria, and our first candidate from the Slag Zone, Shi Xun. Please cheer for these two!

The stands immediately erupted in noise.

Who is this blue-haired little girl?

"I don't know, but I think I saw her at Vivi's Hope Water Treatment Plant."

"So, she's from our water purification zone?"

"Look how beautiful her blue hair is, like a deep, tranquil sea. It must taste delicious."

"Teapot, are you crazy? Seawater is undrinkable!"

"I call this a metaphor! Do you understand metaphors?"

"Stop arguing, let's quickly cheer for this lovely girl!"

"Go, little Aria!"

"come on! Come on!"

Long Ying and the others also shouted as loudly as they could.

"Go for it, Brother Shi Xun!"

On the arena, Shi Xun looked tenderly at Aria.

"Little sister Aria, I know this is your first duel, but unfortunately, I will not hold back in this duel."

Aria's face turned pale with nervousness.

"Aria!" Di Xing shouted, making a megaphone shape with his hands.

Upon seeing Di Xing in the stands, Aria's face instantly lit up with a smile.

"Don't be nervous, just enjoy the duel with your cards!"

Aria took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

"Then, let the duel begin."

“Dairu!”

Shi Xun seized the initiative

"My turn, I draw a card. I activate the Field Spell Card 'Lapita Crystal of Salvation,' selecting up to 5 'Salvation' cards from my Deck and placing them on top of the deck in the order they are selected."

"Then, I Normal Summon [Analyst of the Savior], activate its effect, and flip over the top 5 cards of my deck." Shi Xun pulled out his classic miner's hat again, revealing a wicked smile as he began flipping over the cards in his deck.

"I've found a gem! I Special Summon [Salvation Stone - Dragon Crystal]! Dragon Crystal's effect: I draw 1 card."

"Then, because I have a Rock-Type monster on my field other than this card, I Special Summon her from my hand."

The petite girl, [The Explorer of Deception], makes her entrance, flashing a cute smile and happily waving to the audience. However, upon seeing Di Xing, her expression immediately turns sour, and she glares fiercely at him.

"I activate her effect to flip over the top 5 cards of my deck."

Shi Xun excitedly began digging, but after all five cards were turned over, Shi Xun was so frightened that he transformed into the world-famous painting, "The Scream."

"A mining disaster! No!!!"

The Explorer of Devil's Rescue hurriedly comforted Shi Xun.

Hehehe, Little Red, yeah, you glare at me!

"Oh dear, this is a bit troublesome. I'll use the 4-star Savior Analyst and the 4-star Core Guardian to adjust the star level. 4+4=8. O dragon sleeping in the ancient ore, spread your shining wings and soar through the sky once more! Synchro Summon, Level 8, Savior Miracle - Dragon Crystal!"

"I will set up [Dark Treant] in the Pendulum Zone. Her spell card effect increases the ATK and DEF of EARTH, WATER, FIRE, and WIND monsters on my field by 200 times the number of monsters on my field."

"Then I set two cards face down to end this turn."

"My turn, draw a card!" Ariar drew a card from the ice crystal duel disk that Nami Kitevid had jointly created for her.

Shi Xun immediately activated the face-down card: "I activate the Forbidden Holy Lance, reducing the attack power of the Miracle of Deception - Dragon Crystal by 400. It will not be destroyed by effects and will not be targeted by effects."

Aria looked nervously at Shi Xun's field. The Dragon Crystal had one spell/trap counter and resistance to Majesty, which was troublesome. Aria glanced at her hand; she was currently using the Legacy deck. Judging from her memories of the future, this was the most painful period of her existence.

However, these are experiences that she or I have truly gone through, so let these experiences become our strength.

"Miss Aria, you're using a Ritual Spell deck, aren't you? I'm so sorry, but Miracle of Salvation - Dragon Crystal is the Ritual Spell I specifically designed to stop yours."

Di Xing, standing in the stands, angrily shouted, "Shi Xun, you're so despicable!"

"You have no right to speak to me, Lord Di Xing."

Damn it, ritual decks are most afraid of ritual spells being restricted (please don't speak, you Stone Relic player), Aria is in danger!

"Aria, if things don't look good, let's play it safe for now and try to ambush him with a double trap."

"Lord Di Xing, you are truly despicable and shameless—like a baby opening its mouth!"

"Excuse me for interrupting," Aria said politely. "I need to activate a monster effect. I'm discarding [Relic Void Wizard] from my hand."

"During my Main Phase, I discard this card from my hand. This turn, you cannot activate the effects of Spell/Trap/Effect Monsters in response to the activation of a Ritual Spell Card with 'Relic' in its name."

"Furthermore, when a Ritual Monster with 'Relic' in its name is successfully Ritual Summoned, you cannot activate the effects of Spell/Trap/Effect Monsters."

"What?!"

"Well done, Aria!" Di Xing revealed a villainous, smug expression.

"Then I discarded 'Phantom Ritual Sorcerer' from my hand. I added 1 Ritual Monster with 'Ritual' in its name from my Deck to my hand. I added 'Evil Ritual Mind Ogre' to my hand."

Did you choose your future image to add to your hand? But that's not a good memory, little Aria. Di Xing couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Aria silently gazed at the [Evil Remnant Mind-Body Ogre], the mottled marks of suffering seeping into her pristine white fingers, and then she seemed to have made some kind of decision.

"I activate the Ritual Spell Card [Relic Summoning Mirror]. This card can be Ritual Summoned by paying 500 Life Points to the Level of the Ritual Summoned monster."

"I pay 3000 Life Points to Ritual Summon the Level 6 Relic Monster—Evil Relic Mind Ogre! When this card is successfully Ritual Summoned, return up to 5 cards from both players' Graveyards to their respective Deck. I return 'Dragon Crystal' from your Graveyard to your Deck!"

LP8000-3000=5000

"Miss Aria, what are you trying to do... Holy crap, could it be?!"

"Because your graveyard no longer contains any Water-type monsters, the effect of Miracle of Salvation - Dragon Crystal cannot be activated."

"I see. Miss Aria, are you really a novice? But you only managed to defeat one of my Spell/Trap Cards with three cards. You didn't really come out ahead. You could have used your Ritual Spell Cards already, didn't you?"

Aria shook her little head, not replying, but continuing to speak.

"I activate the Radiant Light of the Water Mirror. Its effect 1: Add 1 'Relic' monster from my Deck to my hand. I choose to add 'Evil Relic Sea Fairy' to my hand."

"I see, it's to activate this spell card, but my Miracle of Salvation - Dragon Crystal is still on the field and has the Might resistance."

"I activate the Ritual Spell Card [Relic Ice Mirror], releasing the Miracle of Salvation - Dragon Crystal on your field to Ritual Summon [Evil Relic Heart Sea Fairy!] from my hand!"

"Ritual Summon my card? But my Miracle of Salvation - Dragon Crystal won't be a target of the effect?"

"The effect of the Relic Ice Mirror is not targeted, and it liberates rather than destroys."

"What?!" Shi Xun quickly checked the effect of the [Relic Ice Demon Mirror]

'Required for the Ritual Monster's summoning. 1: Tribute 1 face-up monster on your opponent's field, or to make their total Level equal to the Ritual Summoned monster, Tribute monsters from your hand or field to Ritual Summon 1 "Ritual" Ritual Monster from your hand; you lose LP equal to its original ATK. 2: If this card is in your Graveyard, you can target 1 "Ritual" monster in your Graveyard; return that monster to the top of your Deck, and return this card to the bottom of your Deck.'

"This...this..."

A gigantic magic mirror, painted with an ice barrier magic circle, appeared in the air and forcibly sucked the crystal dragon into it. The crystal dragon struggled desperately, but to no avail, and its massive form eventually disappeared completely into the mirror.

Then, countless bubbles fell, and the stunningly beautiful Sea Fairy descended upon the arena.

"Ah? It's her again?" Upon seeing the Fairy of the Heart Sea, Shi Xun couldn't help but recall the battle from not long ago.

"I have lost 3000 health points, which is equivalent to the attack power of the Evil Legacy Sea Fairy."

LP5000-3000=2000

Did she burn 6000 HP in one round? Aria's fighting style is pretty aggressive!

"When the Evil Legacy Sea Fairy's Legacy Summon is successful, you can revive 1 WATER monster from your Graveyard. I revive [Legacy Void Mage]."

"Then I Normal Summon [Relic Beast]. When this card is successfully Summoned, you can revive 1 Level 4 or lower 'Relic' monster in your Graveyard in face-up Defense Position. I revive [Phantom Relic Caster]."

"I set a link marker on [Relic Void Mage] and [Phantom Relic Sorcerer]. The summoning condition is two monsters, including a Water-type monster. Confirm with the arrow, Link Summon: Link 2 [Clear Water Spirit Aria]"

Hehehe, it's here! The Stone-Seeking Special Attack Card that I spent a fortune preparing for Aria, and it's even the Water Spirit Aria Card, which has a close relationship with Aria. It's a pity it's just a Spirit-Given Card, without a soul.

However, to Di Xing and Aria's surprise, the Water Spirit Aria turned around and hugged Aria directly. Aria was shocked, her azure eyes widened, and then tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.

"What... what's going on? Did I buy a True Spirit Card?!" Di Xing touched the cat ears of the girl next to him, Kit, who immediately wrenched his wrist. Ouch! It seems he wasn't dreaming.

The Water Spirit, Aria, quickly released Aria, wiped away her tears, and returned to the Extra Monster Zone. Her eyes returned to their listless state; it seemed the True Spirit had transferred her consciousness earlier.

Arya wiped away her tears. "I activate the effect of Arya, the Water Spirit, targeting 1 WATER monster in your Graveyard. Special Summon that monster to my field in the zone this card is linked to. I revive your Miracle of Salvation - Dragon Crystal!"

"What?!"

The Miracle of Deception - The Dragon Crystal roared as it made its entrance, but quickly realized that the object of its roar was its own master, Shi Xun, leaving it completely bewildered.

The Analyst of Saviors atop it was also completely bewildered, but the next second, he was kicked off by the Water Spirit Aria, who then stood atop the Crystal Dragon's head.

The crystal dragon looked up at the stunningly beautiful blue-haired girl above it. Arya bent down and gently stroked the dragon's head, causing the dragon to let out a comfortable woof.

"Dragon Crystal, wake up! You're a dragon, not a dog!" Shi Xun'erkang reached out.

Hehehe, so awesome!

"I will use the Evil Legacy Sea Fairy to attack your Savior Seeker on the field."

Xiao Hong was startled. The pretty older sister was looking at her as if she were her sworn enemy. Her defense was already at 2800 points, but she still couldn't withstand the older sister's attack power of 3000!

The Sea Fairy waved her staff, and the blue whale beneath her lower body spewed out destructive water cannons.

"At that moment, I activated the trap card [Sand Shield - Dust Power]!"

A cloud of sand surged toward the monsters on Aria's field, but the Dragon Crystal stood in its way.

Shi Xun broke out in a cold sweat. The Miracle of Salvation - Dragon Crystal could negate and destroy the activation of his opponent's Spell/Trap Cards if there were WATER monsters in his Graveyard. The little girl opposite him undoubtedly had more WATER monsters in her Graveyard than he did.

Shi Xun looked tremblingly at the Dragon Crystal. "Senior Dragon Crystal, could you just look at it?"

The dragon crystal responded to its master with a destructive, anti-magic roar, the power of dust being dispersed by the roar.

Xiao Hong closed her eyes in despair and was swept into the cemetery by the water cannon.

"Then I'll attack you directly with all the monsters on my field!"

LP8000-3000-2500-1850-1500=-850

[This is incredible! The battle ended so quickly! The victor is Aria!]
