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

Chapter 268 Little Red Riding Hood

"Brother Shi Xun, you lost?" The duel ended too quickly, and Long Ying was still a little confused.

"That girl is so strong!" The audience in the water purification section of the stands only just realized what was happening and then burst into enthusiastic cheers.

"Aria's dueling style is pretty aggressive. I'll have to be careful not to offend her in the future," Di Xing muttered to himself. "Also, hehehe, as expected of my Aria."

Just as Di Xing was about to rush down from the stands to celebrate with Aria, a silver-white figure rushed towards Aria first and grabbed her in a hug.

"Well done, Aria," Vitty said happily. "So impressive in your first duel!"

Di Xing, who had been beaten to it, could only go to Shi Xun, who was slumped on the ground, and said, "Hey! Isn't this Shi Xun, the number one mining expert in the slag heap? Haven't seen you for a few days, what's gotten into you?"

"Lord Di Xing..."

"what happened?"

Has anyone ever told you that you deserve a beating?

Seeing Shi Xun stand up and summon his mining pickaxe in an attack stance, Di Xing took off running, with Shi Xun dragging the pickaxe in hot pursuit. The two began circling the arena.

Ai Xiao sighed helplessly, "What two idiots."

Just then, Xing Yi secretly tripped Di Xing, who immediately transformed into a whirlwind and rolled towards Vitty and Aria.

At this critical moment, Ji Ge's wrench fell from the sky, pinning Di Xing to the spot.

Wearing sunglasses, Kit stood smugly on Di Xing's back and said, "Isn't your brother Kit awesome?"

Di Xing shakily raised a thumb.

Aria rushed over and helped Di Xing up. "Di Xing, are you alright?"

"It's alright, you won beautifully, Aria."

Aria hugged Dixing happily, "This is all thanks to the card deck you gave me, thank you!"

"Hehe, why are you being so polite with me?" Di Xing sensed Vitty's unfriendly gaze and quickly turned to her with a smile, saying, "Vitty, did you win?"

“Of course,” Tie proudly puffed out her barely noticeable chest. “The opponents were probably mercenaries hired by the Hexagram family. Although they were strong, they were still far inferior to me. And Miss Ye Xuefang also won.”

"Hmm, in that case, it'll only be Dai Meng left, right?"

Speaking of Dai Meng, a shadow crossed Vivi's eyes. "You haven't seen it yet? Dai Meng... lost. That opponent was incredibly strong."

"What!?"

Di Xing hurriedly picked up the terminal and started watching the replay of Dai Meng's match.

The recording began, and the screen showed a competition arena made up of densely packed giant trees, which seemed to have grown directly from the ground.

Then the commentator's voice came on.

Welcome to the Ranki Competition Arena, my street folks of Reitou Village!

"Poplar Tree, are you trying to act all high and mighty?!"

"If you can't speak a foreign language, you don't have to!"

The spectators in the stands, sitting neatly, wearing hard hats, angrily exclaimed, "They're obviously lumberjacks who work in the logging industry year-round!"

Their voices were so loud that even the commentator in the broadcasting studio could hear them, but he wasn't in a hurry.

Alright, my family, let's start the game!

"Damn logging! Although logging is indeed very tiring."

"By the way, who is that short-haired girl? She's incredibly pretty!"

"That big scythe behind her looks like a jinx."

"Willow branch, did you get hit by a tree trunk and go crazy? Have you ever seen such a big crow? By the way, that little girl looks so slender, how could she carry such a big sickle?"

Among the group, a muscular man wearing a hard hat, the strongest of the group, with a stubble, calmly said, "That sickle must be so satisfying to chop down trees. I probably couldn't even swing it. This young girl must have an iron will to cut down a whole bunch of trees. Let's cheer her on, everyone!"

"Okay, boss."

"Keep it up, little girl!"

"come on"

In the middle of the arena, Dai Meng stared blankly at his opponent in red clothes and a red hat. According to Vivi, both his and Ye Xuefang's opponents were dressed in black robes, but this Luya was clearly different. Come to think of it, this outfit looks so familiar... Holy crap, wait a minute, Di Xing gasped.

Dai Meng spoke softly, "Mr. Louis, please guide me."

As a result, a tic-tac-toe pattern appeared on Little Red Riding Hood's head.

"My name is Qi Bai, what Louis? I'm Louis XVI!" As he said this, Qi Bai suddenly felt a chill on his neck and quickly reached up to touch his head. Thankfully, he could still feel it.

"But your name is listed as Louis on the race schedule."

"That was obtained by those lazy people who hired me. Honestly, if I hadn't been called here specifically for this match, I would have taught them a lesson. Alright, once eyes meet, it's time for a duel; that's standard practice for duelists."

"No way, are you some Red who's tired of Pokémon battles and's here to duel?" Di Xing thought to himself, desperately trying to find the right person for the role. These two seem to be classic player characters.

Dai Meng was a little confused, but still tilted her head and said, "Okay."

“Duel!” (Diel)

Qi Bai guessed first with a coin toss, but surprisingly chose to go second.

"Let him go first?" Di Xing immediately had a bad feeling.

"My turn," Dai Meng's voice was very soft, a stark contrast to the huge scythe on her back.

"I'll cover five cards to end this turn."

So neat

[Miss Daimon didn't summon any monsters, but instead set 5 cards face down?]

"What's going on, boss? Did this little girl not draw a monster card?"

"Calm down, maybe she was originally going for a deck full of traps."

Well, calling Dai Meng's deck a major trap might not be an exaggeration, Di Xing thought, rubbing his chin slightly.

"Hmph, my turn-based card draw."

"Please wait a moment, I activate the Quick-Play Spell [Ancient Relics Movement]. This card can destroy one Spell/Trap Card on the field. I destroy my second face-down card to the left."

[Dai Meng actually destroyed her own card?]

A giant gear began to turn, and then the card on the field was destroyed, revealing a huge scythe—the [Ancient Relic - Death Scythe].”

"Great!" Di Xing clenched his fist. [Ancient Relic - Death Scythe] can be Special Summoned if it's destroyed and sent to the Graveyard during the opponent's turn. Furthermore, if this card successfully Special Summons during the opponent's turn, the opponent cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck that turn. It's an incredibly powerful Extra Deck blocking card, which is why it's now listed as a Limited Card.

If Qi Bai's deck matches my guess, then Death Scythe will be unable to move this turn once he gets past him.

"Hmph, don't even think about succeeding. I'll activate the quick-attack spell [Called by the Tomb], except for the ancient relic in your graveyard—the Death Scythe."

"What?" Dai Meng's pale gray eyes widened.

The Ancient Relic - Death Scythe has been banished and cannot be Special Summoned; furthermore, the effects of cards with the same name are nullified.

Dai Meng said somewhat aggrievedly, "You excluded my trump card. Were you prepared for this all along?"

"Hmph, don't underestimate my intelligence network. I already knew you were using an Ancient Relic deck."

"What? That's amazing!? How did you know?" Dai Meng seemed very surprised.

Qi Bai glanced somewhat guiltily at the Ancient Relic – the Death Scythe – that Dai Meng was carrying on her back, which couldn't be added to her deck due to the Banned Card List. He then crossed his arms, feigning pride, and said, "That's a trade secret; I can't tell you."
