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

Chapter 290 Predatory Plants

"【Predator Generation】By revealing any number of 'Predator' cards from my hand to you, I can place a Predator Counter on each of the same number of monsters you control. Then, the Level 2 or higher monsters with Predator Counters become Level 1." "I reveal 【Predator Plant Bee Orchid Scorpion】 to you, and place a Predator Counter on that twin-tailed brat on your field."

"Who are you calling a brat?" Primella's twin tails flared with anger, but a seed struck her arm, from which countless vines quickly sprouted, binding Primella and reducing her star level to 1. "Ugh, you bastard!"

"Oh no, this means I can't perform a Synchro Summon. But this binding method..." While inputting Spirit Power and watching the duel on the screen, Di Xing couldn't help but glance at the bound Primella.

"You stinky Dixing, don't look!" Primella yelled, thrashing about.

No, how did you know I was watching?

"Yes, don't look! She's only 14 in the story! Pervert! Lolicon!" Immortal Dao Divine Chronicle frantically covered Di Xing's eyes.

Although Nami was also angry, her attention was now focused on the duel. Her opponent was the head of the Hexagram family, just like her father. Legend had it that every family head possessed the strength of a top-tier duelist, so this Allen was arguably the strongest enemy she had ever encountered, especially since he was using a plant-based weapon.

The decks of the heads of the Hexagram families are usually publicly available, but Allen Garcetti is an exception. Rumor has it he's just a glutton who doesn't know how to duel, and there's no information about his deck. It's surprising to find it's a Predator Plant deck.

This is a Fusion deck, characterized by the ability to raise the level of your opponent's monsters to 1 by placing Predator Counters on them (this is the "Predator" part), while "Predator" refers to using monsters with Predator Counters as Fusion Material.

This level-down effect is a nightmare for Xyz and Synchro decks, especially my Centurion deck, which basically lacks low-level Synchro monsters. Now that Tuner monsters are reduced to Level 1, they're essentially locked down. Damn it, what can I do? If only a powerful Dexter could counter this Allen, since he's basically a "low-level (Dexter)" deck.

No, that guy has already paid too high a price. Nami's mind flashed back to the image of Di Xing, broken and battered. She couldn't let him become like that again! The girl looked up at the shimmering "stars" in the sky, a fierce fighting spirit burning within her. This person, I must defeat!

"In short, I'll reduce your board presence first, then I'll attack your face-down cards with Gargoyle 2."

Gargoyle 2 swung its claws, tearing away Gekko's disguise to reveal the [Predatory Plant Pterodactyl] (Dark/Plant 3-Star 300/2100).

"What?! The defense stat is 2100 points!"

LP8000-2100+2000=7900

"Girl, you really think 2000 ATK is enough to defeat all Normal Summoned monsters? You've met your match! It's not over yet. I'll activate the effect of Pitcher Plant Wyvern: When this card inflicts battle damage to your opponent, place 1 Predator Counter on 1 monster you control and make it Level 1. I choose your Gargoyle 2."

Gargoyle 2 was also entangled in vines. "Damn it, I... I activate [Triple Strike Power], then set two cards to end this turn!"

The harsh reality left Nami with no choice but to cover it twice.

"Heh, now you realize how cruel reality is, huh?"

"My turn, draw a card. Heh heh, I activate the second effect of Pteranodon: Once per turn, gain control of 1 monster with a lower Level than this card. I choose your Primeira."

The pitcher plant pterosaur sprouted countless tentacles, pulling Primella onto its own field.

"Gulp, kill me," Primella turned her head and uttered the classic line of the female knight. Although he felt bad for Primella, Di Xing still laughed rather unkindly.

"I activate the Spell Card 'Predatory Activity' again, Special Summoning 1 'Predatory Plant' monster from my hand. Then, add all 'Predatory' cards except this one from my Deck to my hand. After this card is activated, this turn I can only Special Summon Fusion Monsters from my Extra Deck."

“本大爷特殊召唤【捕食植物 蜂兰蝎】（暗/植物 3星 1200/800），从卡组把【捕食植物 腺毛草胡蜂】（暗/植物 1星 0/1900）加入手卡”

"If both Bee Orchid Scorpion and Predator are successfully summoned, send 1 'Predator Plant' monster from your hand to the Graveyard to activate this effect. Special Summon 1 Level 3 or lower 'Predator Plant' monster from your Deck. I send 'Predator Plant Glandular Wasp' to the Graveyard and Special Summon 'Predator Plant Lily Cobra'."

"If Lily Cobra is successfully Special Summoned, activate this effect. Add 1 'Fusion' Spell Card from your Deck to your hand." (C1)

"When the Glandular Wasp is sent to the Graveyard, you can add 1 other 'Predator Plant' monster from your Deck to your hand." (C2)

Results settlement

C2 "I added [Predatory Plant - Frilled Lizard] to my hand."

C1 "I add [Fusion Fate] to my hand".

Holy crap! A fusion of destinies?! Could it be...?

"I, the Great One, normally use the [Predatory Plant Frilled Lizard] (DARK/Plant Level 2 600/200). As long as it's on the field, any monster with a Predator Counter that I use as Fusion Material has its Attribute changed to DARK. Then I activate the Field Spell Card [Fusion Gate]."

It even has a Fusion Gate? Are you planning to fuse multiple times in one turn?!

"I'll banish Pteranodon and Primella and Fusion Summon them using two DARK monsters on the field!"

The felt-frilled lizard spat a mouthful of black slime at Primella, staining her black.

"Damn it!"

But Primella's ordeal wasn't over yet. The pitcher plant pterosaur opened its massive jaws at her, ignoring Primella's terrified expression, and slowly approached her.

"No!!!" Primella cried out in anguish, but it was no use; the pitcher plant pterosaur still swallowed her whole.

"Primeira!" Nami cried out in anguish.

Primella, who had been swallowed, fell directly from the dueling arena on the roof into the carriage, landing squarely in Di Xing's arms. Di Xing quickly caught her with his non-elf-powered hand; it seemed the dueling system was treating this area as an exclusion zone.

Primella looked up and saw that it was Di Xing who was hugging her. She immediately hugged his head and cried out, "Waaah, Di Xing, I'll never get married!!!" Even the strong knight Primella couldn't bear the treatment she had just received and burst into tears.

Di Xing hurriedly stroked her golden hair to comfort her. Indeed, with all this talk of corruption and pill swallowing, some gentlemen might even draw doujinshi about it. Ah, what do those terms mean? Why did they suddenly pop into my head? How strange. Di Xing tried to deceive himself.

"Don't cry, Primella, I won't despise you."

Primella looked up at Desmond and cried even louder.

Di Xing: Are you being polite?! ???
