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

Chapter 78 Vampire Eaters

The next moment, she swung her golden longsword, severing the [Spiritual Taoist Zombie] in two. Du Shuhao suffered 81.92 damage, which was fortunately not due to the activation of the simulated damage mode; otherwise, Du Shuhao would probably have died on the spot.

The screen displaying Durant's health points nearly exploded, triggering an alarm.

"Manager, stop betting. We can accept losing 120 gold coins if we do."

Upon hearing his assistant's words, a flicker of madness flashed in Du Shuhao's otherwise lifeless eyes.

"Xiao Wang, withdraw all the money that the gamblers used to place bets today."

"No, no, manager, if we do that, we won't have any money to pay out the bets for today's customers!"

"It's alright. As long as I survive this round, the [Folding Paper God] with 80 attack power will return to my field next round. Then I'll be invincible, and I can make back everything, including those 120 coins."

"Manager, please reconsider!"

"Shut up and do as I say."

Helpless, the assistant rushed out the door, but Di Xing didn't miss the slight smile that appeared on his lips as the assistant left.

Du Shuhao had only 30 seconds to decide whether to call or not. As the timer neared zero, the platform in front of him finally rose, revealing a huge basin, like a washbasin, filled with gold coins. Without hesitation, Du Shuhao pushed this basin of coins into the dueling arena.

The conveyor belt transported the bowl of gold coins to the central prize pool, displaying 2000 coins. The system then displayed "Insufficient chips, please continue betting."

Then, basins were brought out one after another. Du Shuhao didn't even look at them before pushing them into the dueling arena. Di Xing noticed that the third basin of gold coins had begun to be mixed with some silver and copper coins.

The fourth and fifth pots were almost empty of coins, so what should have been a four-pot prize pool took six pots to collect the full 8193 coins before Du Shuhao's health had just recovered to 100.

"I'll set two cards to end this round," Di Xing said jokingly.

"At the end of the phase, [Folding Paper God] will return to my field." [Folding Paper God] slowly floated back to Du Shuhao's field, its paper face seemingly filled with reluctance.

Looking at this monster, its entire body engulfed in golden flames and seemingly made of gold coins, Du Shuhao's eyes were filled with madness.

"My turn, draw!" Du Shuhao shouted wildly as he drew his card. "I've won this match! I activate!"

"Wait, I activate the Continuous Trap Card [Rules of One Race], declaring a race. As long as this card is on the field, that race cannot declare an attack. I declare the Zombie race."

"The Undead?"

"Have you forgotten? Because of the effect of the Undying World, all the monsters on the field have become undead."

Du Shuhao muttered to himself, "Undead? Wait, doesn't that mean..."

"That's right, you finally realized it? The [Folding Paper God] from before was completely unaffected by the effects of your Spell & Trap Cards because of Lady White Bone's effect. In other words, whether you could guess the coin tossed by the Monster Box or not, it was completely useless."

"what?"

"Du Shuhao, you said those people below are easily blinded by desire and lose their judgment, but I think you're the one who's like that."

"Shut up!" Du Shuhao roared, his elegant demeanor from when he first entered completely gone. "I'm going to kill you! I'll definitely kill you!"

"Heh, you're already talking about killing me, but what about those people you've driven to ruin and death? Also, your monster boxes require a 500-point investment, otherwise they'll be destroyed."

Du Shuhao reluctantly sent the monster box to the graveyard; it seemed he truly had no more coins. "I activate the special effect of [Folding Paper God], flip a coin!"

The first coin, inside

I activated my second chance and tossed again, but the result was still down.

"Looks like, even without cheating, you're pretty bad at it. Or have you already been abandoned by the god of gambling?"

"Shut up, I'm activating [Magic Flowerpot] to send [First Place Judgment] on the field to the graveyard, draw two cards, and then I'll set two cards face down to end the game."

"My turn, draw a card. 'Rules of the Clan' requires a monster to be released to maintain its existence. I won't release it; I'll send 'Rules of the Clan' to the graveyard." Just in case, the other of the two cards Di Xing set was Intimidating Roar. Activating 'Rules of the Clan' was actually meant to annoy Du Shuhao, but how come he didn't even have a single Whirlwind in his hand? What kind of cards did he have?

"I activate the Forbidden Cloth, reducing the ATK of [Folding Paper God] by 600. After this, this card cannot be targeted by card effects and cannot be destroyed by card effects."

"This way, my protection of the [Folding Paper God] is perfect. You can't destroy it." Du Shuhao stared at the monster covered in golden flames, as if it were his everything. The [Folding Paper God] broke out in a cold sweat under his gaze.

"Is that so? I set up connection markers on [Lady White Bone] and [The Legendary Gambler]. Arrow confirmed, connection summoning [Vampire Eater]." A dark-skinned female vampire wearing a large hat appeared on the field.

"[Vampire Eater]'s 1st effect activates: I revive [Grail Couple's Double Aces] in Defense Position on your field."

"Then, if her second effect activates and a Zombie-Type monster is Special Summoned from my Graveyard, I draw one card."

"【Vampire Eater】has three more effects: when I Tribute Summon a monster, I can use it as a substitute for a monster I control, and by Tributing a Zombie monster you control, I Tribute your 【Paper God】 and 【Cheese Couple Aces】 to Normal Summon 【Gigantamax Magella】."

As the [Folding Paper God] was offered as a sacrifice, the [Folding Paper God] visibly showed an expression of relief.

"What? It's liberation! My [Folding Paper God], my invincible [Folding Paper God]! Ahhhhh!" Watching the [Folding Paper God] transform into a ball of light and fly towards Di Xing's hand, Du Shuhao's mind collapsed. He let out a painful wail and then slumped heavily into his chair.

"Amazing! They actually created a turtle-themed solution!" Ai Xiao praised.

Although Du Shuhao currently only has one face-down monster on the field, giving Di Xing a significant advantage, he still doesn't dare to attack rashly. After all, his life points are only 100, and if Du Shuhao has another face-down monster box, he still has a 50% chance of losing.

"I activate [Book of the Living Forbidden], banishing [Paper God of Folding] from your Graveyard, reviving [Vampire Enchantress] from my Graveyard, activating Enchantress's 2nd effect, releasing [Vampire Eater], and gaining control of that monster you control."

Di Xing glanced at the monster that had come towards them; it was actually a bat with a face. Thankfully, Du Shuhao hadn't attacked it earlier, because it was impossible to get past the connecting monster.

Di Xing glanced at his Extra Deck and realized he didn't have a Level 9 Zombie Synchro Summon. Honestly, if only he had [True Blood Vampire], he could use Faceless Bat as an Level 8 Xyz Material. But for now, it was enough. "I change Faceless Bat to Attack Position. All monsters attack you."

Du Shuhao, whose mind was already in a state of collapse, did not react at all. But just then, a stern voice came through his earpiece, "What are you doing? Activate the trap card immediately!"
