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

Chapter 29 Turning Defeat into Victory

"Stop arguing. The outcome is uncertain until the very last moment, don't you think, Officer Lestrade?"

Di Xing had intended to tease him about his outfit, saying it resembled Inspector Lestrade from Sherlock Holmes. However, Ming's eyes visibly lit up when he heard the name Lestrade, though he quickly returned to normal.

"Since that's the case, then show me how you plan to win."

"I'll show you right now. I activate the Spell Card 'Neighborhood Grass Cutter.' This card can only be activated if your deck has more cards than your opponent's. Until your decks are equal in size, send the top cards of your deck to the Graveyard."

"My deck has 15 more cards than yours, so I'm sending 15 cards to the graveyard." Please, I really need that card!

Fifteen cards were sent to the graveyard one by one. Di Xing stared intently, hoping to see that card. When only two cards remained, the number of skeletons in the graveyard had reached 13, but unfortunately, the Skeleton King's attack power was still zero.

When the second-to-last card was delivered, Di Xing finally saw the card he had been longing for. Great, now he had all the elements for victory. The number of skeletons in the graveyard was finally fixed at 13, which was more than enough.

"Officer, look closely, this is my struggle to survive."

Mingzai: Why do I inexplicably find him kind of handsome?

Borrowing a famous line from Hell Caesar, Di Xing's momentum surged: "I banish the trap card [Shiranui Style: Talent Formation] from the graveyard!"

"To make one of my Zombie monsters immune to the effects of other cards this turn, I choose—The Bone King."

A brown-haired girl wielding a naginata and wearing a red skirt-pants leaped out of the graveyard. It was none other than Takebe Shiranui. Takebe drew his demon sword, Shiranui, from his waist.

The blade, burning with flames, severed the chains binding the Bone King's hands with a single strike. Freed from his shackles, the Bone King stood up again, his attack power reduced to a single point.

"Bone King, attack the [Void Ruler]!"

Although he knew it was useless, Mingzai still hurriedly activated his trap card: "I activate Trap Card [Scrap Scarecrow]".

But the Bone King's fist shattered the scrap metal scarecrow and slammed heavily into the Void Ruler, dealing a small amount of damage to Mingzai.

Under the enormous impact, Ming was sent flying, even coughing up blood, indicating that his simulation damage level was also the highest.

Having won the duel, Di Xing hurriedly tried to grab the seven little ones and run away, but then he heard a roar behind him.

"Don't even think about running away. I will never allow outlaws like you to harm the residents of the fourth floor. They are already suffering enough, so I will not let any of you lawbreakers get away with this."

Mingzai miraculously stood up again with astonishing perseverance.

"No, brother, I'm really touched by what you said, but I'm truly not a criminal." Ming shakily raised a gun-shaped object. Seeing this, Di Xing hurriedly summoned his connecting particle sphere to prepare to block the damage.

However, what Mingzai was holding wasn't a real gun. He didn't yet know what crime Dixing had committed, so he wouldn't use a gun against him. He was holding a Kaling Summoner.

Ming wasn't a graphics card maker, and his own spiritual power was pitifully low. If he wanted to materialize cards, he had to use this card materializer.

A spirit stone was embedded inside, used to manifest the power of the cards. Ming placed the Void Ruler into the card slot, and the next moment, the phantom of the Void Ruler appeared above the card manifester.

Just as he was about to pull the trigger and solidify the Void Ruler, a white figure flashed by. [Ash Blossom] snatched the card materializer from his hand and considerately tossed the Void Ruler back to him.

"what?"

"Big brother, run!" Ash Blossom didn't stop and ran straight ahead. Only then did Di Xing notice the other six little cuties had already started running away.

Di Xing didn't have time to think, and he took off running after Ash Flowing Beauty, also picking up "Misty Wood" and "Shuoye Shigure," two of the slower runners.

Watching the group quickly run away, Ming coughed up blood again in anger and collapsed to the ground. "Damn it, they actually recruited such a young child as an accomplice! Bastards, I will definitely catch you!"

"You're here, Captain!" A voice called out from behind Mingzai, and Mingzai's eyes lit up.

Di Xing ran frantically without daring to stop for a moment, and finally saw the entrance of the inn. Overjoyed, he didn't notice that a yellow figure was rushing towards him from his right front.

The figure was also looking back, not noticing Di Xing rushing towards them. Unsurprisingly, the two collided violently. Di Xing rolled twice on the ground, while the figure used the force of the impact to perform a beautiful backflip.

Without stopping after landing, it continued to run forward. Di Xing, who was dizzy from the impact, struggled to his feet and looked at the figure running away, asking in a daze, "What's going on?"

Suddenly, he noticed a small yellow booklet-like object on the ground. It must have fallen from that person earlier. If he picked it up, he'd probably run into him again tomorrow, triggering a series of troublesome events. Thinking this, Di Xing decisively ignored it and went straight back to the inn.

Back at the inn, Di Xing was panting heavily. Just then, a small hand placed a piece of emerald green crystal in his hand. The moment he touched the crystal, Di Xing felt a surge of energy flow into his body. "What is this?"

"This is an Elf Jade, taken from that policeman's gun."

Wow, not only did they assault a police officer, they also stole police equipment. If they get caught, they're really in big trouble.

But thankfully he was wearing a mask, so it should be fine, right? At this moment, he looked at the seven little cuties who were now curiously looking around the room. The small room was almost filled with them, and he couldn't figure out how they had managed to huddle under such a small table earlier.

"Alright, alright, I'm going to turn you into cards now. We robbed the police today, you're too conspicuous, it's better to turn you into cards."

This evening at the market, Di Xing bought several blank cards of various attributes to capture wild Pokémon. He never expected them to come in handy now, so the seven little guys lined up and obediently came to Di Xing's side.

Di Xing placed his hands on their heads and began to turn them into cards. Turning them into cards seemed to consume a lot of mental energy. Fortunately, he had the support of the Elf Jade, otherwise Di Xing might not have been able to continue.

After a while, he finally converted all six cards into cards, leaving only the last one he didn't recognize. He placed his hand on her head and tried, but found he couldn't convert her card.

Huh? Had I run out of spirit power? But I can still feel a lot of energy in the spirit jade. So, he carefully examined the little girl.

Her snow-white hair was covered in dirt, and her emerald green eyes scrutinized Di Xing, lost in thought. Di Xing asked, "Um, what's your card name? What's your attribute?" The little girl blinked her big eyes. "My name is Ruan Nuo. I'm human, not a card spirit."
