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

Chapter 8 A Hymn to the Virgin Mary to Save the Maidens

"Holy crap, there's even a G!" Di Xing glanced at his hand and drew [Bone King]. His initial five cards were [Pot of Greed], [Whirlwind], [Undying Spirit], [Fallen Warrior], and [Bone Prince]. He didn't draw Singing Zombie or Minotaur, but if his opponent was the Exorcist Girl, maybe [Fallen Warrior] would be better. She had two Trap Cards on the field, at least one of which was [Exorcist Girl's Prayer]. "Activate [Pot of Greed], banish 6 random cards from your Extra Deck face down, and draw 2 cards." He drew [Bone] and [Graveyard Cave]. "Activate the Spell Card [Whirlwind], destroy 1 face-down card on your field." Hopefully, he'll target Prayer.

"I activate this Trap Card, 'Where Do We Go, Exorcist Girls', paying 800 Life Points to Special Summon 'Exorcist Girl Irena' and 'Exorcist Girl Sofia' from my Deck. ATK: 1600 DEF: 800" LP 8000 - 800 = 7200. The Irena and Sofia sister duo appear. Sofia wears a small hat, holds a small flashlight, is 4 meters tall, and looks defiant. Standing next to the 175cm Irena, she somewhat resembles Irena's daughter.

Damn it, did I choose the wrong card? "I Normal Summon [Fallen Warrior], activate its effect to send [Bone Roast King] from my Deck to the Graveyard, activate [Bone Roast King]'s special effect, add one [Bone Lord] and one [Bone Princess] from my Deck to my hand, then send [Bone Prince] from my hand to the Graveyard. If [Bone Prince] is in the Graveyard, send the Bone Couple from my Deck to the Graveyard."

"Then I discarded the White Bone Princess from my hand and activated her effect: all monsters on the field lose ATK and DEF equal to 300 times their Level." [Hymn of the Holy Mother of the Exorcising Maidens] was entangled in bones, and its ATK and DEF both dropped to 400. The other two Exorcising Maidens fared even worse, with their ATK and DEF both becoming 0.

Seeing this, Li Fei Hua Yue remained expressionless, only muttering, "It seems this demon-slaying expedition will be a bit tricky."

"Then send the [Bone Lord] from your hand to the graveyard. There are 6 Bone Monsters in the graveyard. Send 6 cards from your deck to the graveyard."

Since the deck included [Bone Prince], Di Xing sent the Bone Couple to the graveyard. At the same time, Di Xing discovered that [Banshee of the Corpse World] had also been sent to the graveyard. The next second, Kaling Leixi jumped out of the graveyard and clung to Di Xing like an octopus.

"Big Silly Xi, what are you doing?"

"Waaaaah, that girl on the other side is so scary! All the monsters on her field are terrifying. I feel like she's going to exorcise them at any moment! Waaaaah!" Leixi started crying again.

Di Xing hurriedly patted Ban Xi's head, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I'll exclude you first, so you won't be affected by her monster's effects." At the same time, he quickly observed the other side, afraid of being mistaken for a pervert. Fortunately, Li Fei Hua Yue still had a blank expression, but the next moment, her jade lips moved slightly.

"abnormal"

These two words dealt Di Xing a heavy blow. "No, let me explain! No, let me put it another way!"

"We're dueling now," the cold words brought Di Xing back to his senses. Right, this woman was trying to exorcise him. What was the point of explaining to her? He should just continue the duel.

"I'm excluding [Bansi from the Corpse Realm] from the cemetery." With this announcement, Bansi reluctantly got off Di Xing, but instead of entering the excluded area, she found a corner behind Di Xing and squatted down looking rather aggrieved. Di Xing couldn't care less about her now.

"Activate [Undead World] from the Deck!" A massive horde of skeletons instantly swept across the world. Seeing this, Li Fei Hua Yue's usually calm face instantly changed, her expression twisting with pain, anger, and sorrow. Her small chest heaved violently. She immediately declared, "I activate the effects of [Exorcism Girl - Irena] and [Exorcism Girl - Sophia]. When my opponent leaves the Graveyard, I Special Summon 1 Exorcism Girl Xyz Monster overlayed on this card on my field, treating it as an Xyz Summon from the Extra Deck. I Special Summon [Exorcism Girl - Gibrina] ATK: 2100 DEF: 1800 and [Exorcism Girl - Mikaelis]. Activate Mikaelis's effect, banishing [Undead World] from your field!" The horde of skeletons instantly collapsed and vanished. Seeing this, Li Fei Hua Yue's emotions stabilized.

Wow, this reaction is hilarious! The Undying World shouldn't have much impact on the Resurrection Girl, whose effects are mainly activated by the card name. Why such a strong reaction? I definitely need to find a way to get involved in this later. "I banish the Horse-Headed Demon from my Graveyard, Special Summoning the Singing Zombie from my Graveyard."

"I activate [Salvation Maiden's Prayer], paying 800 Life Points to banish the Singing Zombie from your Graveyard. Then, because I performed an Xyz Summon this turn, I banish the [Fallen Warrior] from your field." LP 7200 - 800 = 6400

"Because [Fallen Warrior] has left the field, I Special Summon a Level 4 or lower monster from my Deck. O King of Bones who rises from among the ancient bones, let out an indomitable roar on behalf of all the dead! This strike pierces heaven and earth, Special Summon [White Bone King]!" Di Xing shouted out his improvised summoning words without batting an eye.

"Because you Special Summoned a monster, I draw a card."

"The attack power of the [Bone King] is the number of bones in the graveyard * 1000. I have 9 bone monsters in my graveyard, so the attack power of the Bone King becomes 9000 points. Then, I will remove the Bone Lord from the graveyard and revive the Bone Princess from the graveyard."

"G, gacha," Li Fei Hua Yue briefly stated.

"Activate the effect of [Hymn of the Holy Mother for the Salvation of the Maidens]: Remove 1 Xyz Material from this card and banish 1 card from your field."

At this moment, the White Bone Princess glanced back at Di Xing, indicating that he could chain the effect of [Hymn of the Holy Mother Who Saves the Maidens]. This effect activates before the target is selected, meaning it's often referred to as "not choosing a target." Therefore, he could potentially banish either his own White Bone King or his own White Bone Princess. However, in this situation, he'll most likely banish the White Bone King, so it's best not to chain the White Bone Princess's special effect.

"Except for your Bone King."

As expected, "After Special Summoning the Bone Princess, I send the Bone Prince from my Deck to the Graveyard, then send the Bone Lady from my Deck and the Bone from my hand to the Graveyard. I use the Bone Princess to attack your Hymn of the Mother on your field, destroying Hymn of the Mother, and then set two cards to end this turn."

"I activate the special effect of Mikaelis, remove one Xyz Material, and add one Spell or Trap Card of the Exorcism Girl from my Deck to my hand. I chose 'Exorcism Girl: Where to Go'. Then I activate the special effect of 'Exorcism Girl Gibrina', remove one Xyz Material, and all my Xyz Monsters gain 800 ATK this turn." Irena's Sacred Armor Form raised her Sacred Rifle and fired a bullet into the sky. The bullet exploded in mid-air, turning into magical powder that enveloped her field.

"Then I stack these two Xyz Monsters to Special Summon a second 'Hymn of the Holy Mother Who Saves the Maidens,' and then I activate the effect of the card 'Lucky Soul' in my hand."

"Wait a minute, because you activated the effect of a monster in your hand, I activated the Trap Card 'Graveyard Hole' to negate that effect, inflicting 2000 Life Points damage on you." A crater appeared beneath Li Fei Hua Yue's feet, followed by a violent explosion. LP 6400 - 2000 = 4400. As the smoke cleared, Li Fei Hua Yue was clearly injured; one of her ponytails had come undone. However, she remained completely calm and continued...
