Duels should be played with a smile.

That's fine.

No! Something's wrong! Something really serious!

This lawn mowing is so embarrassing!

It must be that guy Leyou who sucked up all my luck!

A thorough investigation is necessary!

Fortunately, the quality was lacking, so we made up for it with quantity. Out of a total of twenty, there was at least one or two that were usable.

"The effect of the monster card 'Bullhead Demon' in the Graveyard: Once per turn, if this card is sent to the Graveyard, banish 1 Zombie-Type monster other than the same name from your Graveyard to activate this effect, and Special Summon 1 Zombie-Type monster from your hand."

“I’m excluding the gray flow of the cemetery.”

The dog-eared loli I've been longing for has entered the graveyard, so this is the only way she can still contribute what she can.

"Then, chain C2 is activated, and the effect of [Growing Flower] is activated. If this card is sent to the Graveyard, banish this card from the Graveyard to activate it. Search your Deck for 1 Level 5 or higher Zombie monster. After this effect is activated, you can only Special Summon Zombie monsters until the end of this turn."

If the field had an Undead World, it could be Special Summoned directly, but unfortunately, the Undead World was removed.

Then, it was gone.

After discarding 20 cards, only 2 were able to be sent to the graveyard to take effect. It's heartbreaking to hear and brings tears to the eyes of listeners—which also further highlights just how fake the "Bitter Choice" card really is.

"Chain reversal, first the effect of the flower, I added the Level 8 Zombie monster, [Dead King Evil Eye], to my hand."

"Then, at this point, deal with the effect of the Minotaur and Special Summon the Evil Eye card from your hand!"

The Minotaur opened the gates of the underworld, welcoming the arrival of the King of the Dead. After a cloud of mist, a powerful undead appeared in the dark world.

[Dark 8★ Undying 2800 Attack Power]

"Hahahaha! Now's the time!"

King Jai laughed like a child over a hundred years old as he opened his card.

"The moment you summoned the Undead King, I activated a face-down trap card!"

"【Shadow Deck Destruction Virus】!"

"Tribute 1 DARK monster with 2000 or more DEF on your field to activate this effect. Reveal all monsters on your opponent's field, all cards in their hand, and all cards they have drawn in the last 3 turns (calculated from their turn). Destroy all monsters with 1500 or less DEF among those monsters!"

A giant virus emerged from the trap card, resembling a bat, with a blood-red "Shadow" character on its body.

"But you don't have any monsters on your field that meet the requirements... Wait a minute!?"

"That's right, just as you thought!"

"Dark World's effect: Once per turn, if you Tribute a monster you control to activate a card effect, you can Tribute 1 DARK monster your opponent controls instead of 1 monster you control!"

"I release your Necromancer King as the price for unleashing the destructive virus!"

The most enjoyable thing is being with a cow.

What's even more satisfying than bullying the opponent is bullying them and then using the things the bull brought to disgust them.

Furthermore, since it is a cost-based release that is activated, Yuki-onna cannot avoid this release even if she wants to use other cards in a chain.

"And that's not all. I chain-activate the effect of Lilith the Demon Girl, Tribute one of my DARK monsters to activate it, reveal three Normal Trap Cards from my Deck to my opponent, who then randomly selects one to Set on my field, and the rest are returned to my Deck."

"I will free Lilith herself!"

If it weren't for the fact that the Dark World's alternative liberation could only be used once per turn, Saiou would have even wanted to use Lilith to be powerful again.

"This is really troublesome. Since you're going to destroy my hand anyway, I might as well just throw it away now. I'll chain your effect and activate the Multiplying Destiny! I'll discard it from my hand, and then I'll have to draw a card every time you Special Summon it."

The chain reaction begins, with the parasite taking effect first, followed by Lilith's effect.

Saiou's Duel Disk popped up with three cards from his deck and displayed them. Yuki-onna glanced at them and then wanted to point and criticize Saiou again.

He showed three identical copies of the [Dark Deck Destruction Virus].

How am I supposed to choose? They're all the same!

"Okay, I'll put this card face down now. Now, show me your hand!"

[Roasted Bone King] [Singing Zombies Together] [Bone Nightmare] [A Forbidden Drop]

Let alone a single monster card with less than 1500 defense, even all four monster cards combined don't reach 1500.

In the blink of an eye, all that's left in my hand is one card with no cost, making it impossible to activate its effect.

The Snow Woman... seems to be in dire straits.

Chapter Sixteen: One Punch!!!

"Not only are there no monster cards now, but for the next 3 turns, if you draw a monster with 1500 or less DEF, you must destroy it immediately!"

"Your deck is mostly composed of Zombie monsters, and most Zombie monsters have very low defense! This means you have virtually no chance to use monsters from your hand!"

"I have already seen through your future! Your future is nothing but darkness!"

King Jai laughed heartily; his scheme had succeeded, and he was overjoyed.

But to his surprise, the Snow Woman did not appear too frustrated.

The Snow Woman remained as casual and nonchalant as ever.

She even felt like laughing.

"That's pretty good~" the Snow Woman replied casually, "I'm an undead, and it's not bad to say I'm on the dark side~"

"Besides, you already know that I'm using an Undead deck, so don't you know that Undead players are as happy as if they're going home when they enter the graveyard?"

"After you destroyed my hand, the effect of [Bone King], which went to the Graveyard, was also activated."

"If a card is sent to the Graveyard, you can activate this effect: Add up to 2 different monsters with the name 'Bone' from your Deck to your hand, other than those with the same name, and then discard 1 card from your hand."

Seeing this, the Prince of Zhai let out a cold snort and slapped out a card from his hand.

"Chain with your activation, I activate the effect of [Diablos the Dark Lord] in my hand. If this card is in my hand or Graveyard and a DARK monster on my field is Tributed, I can activate this effect and Special Summon it!"

"Because the demon girl on my field has been freed, Diablos can be Special Summoned!"

"The darkest hour has come! The ruler of the dark world will descend upon this place!"

Countless wisps of black mist rose from the ground, and under the gathering of the dark whirlwind, they transformed into a giant dragon with a completely black body, roaring to the sky.

[Dark 8★ Dragon 3000 Attack Power]

"3000 attack power, that's pretty impressive."

After making a casual comment, the Snow Woman drew a card from the top of her deck.

"The added value effect will be shown to you based on the effect of your virus destruction."

"Field Spell Card [Undying World]".

"Then comes the effect of the Bone King. I add [Bone Prince] and [Bone Princess] to my hand."

"Because it was learned through searching, it won't be damaged by your destructive virus."

While destructive viruses can be very powerful in many situations, many well-developed decks have smooth search chains. As long as they can move around, they can use search to avoid the destructive virus's damage.

Therefore, the most significant effect of destroying the virus is actually the "check your hand" effect in the first wave and subsequent waves.

"The effect of the Bone King requires me to discard 1 card from my hand after searching. I discard the card 'Bone Prince' from my hand and activate its effect."

"This effect can only be activated when a card is sent to the Graveyard. Send one [Bone] and one [Lady Bone] from your hand or Deck to the Graveyard."

As the saying goes, a family should be together. Since the White Bone Prince has gone to the tomb, the White Bone and White Bone Lady should go with him!

Unless they are thoroughly investigated.

"Activate [Undead World] from my hand... I wish it had come sooner."

If I had come earlier, I could have Special Summoned the Necromancer, then used the Minotaur's effect to Special Summon Singing Zombie, and maybe I could have directly performed a Link 2, and then... well, you know what I mean.

"Next is another effect of the Bone Prince: banish 2 Bone monsters from the graveyard and this card, and Special Summon 1 of my deck's ace cards from the deck!"

"【The Bone King】!"

Under Saiou's astonished gaze, a standard low-level monster with only 1 star, a question mark for attack power, and 0 defense power was summoned to Yuki-onna's field.

It still indicates an attack.

"Can such a weak monster really become an ace up its sleeve?"

"Little girl! A duel isn't something to be taken lightly!"

In response to Saiou's mockery, Yuki-onna responded with a disdainful smile.

"I think you don't understand at all!"

"Use your eyes, which are either fully grown or not, to take a good look!"

"Bone King's Continuous Effect: This card's original ATK becomes 1000 for each Bone King and Bone card in your Graveyard!"

"In my graveyard, I consider [Lady White Bone], [Nightmare White Bone], [Roasted King White Bone], [Princess White Bone], and [Prince White Bone] all to be [White Bones]!"

The graveyard contains a total of 24 cards. Even though the number of skeletons wasn't particularly large due to bad luck, it was still quite substantial.

"I have seven skeletons in my graveyard, therefore, my Skeleton King is my trump card!"

"His attack power has increased to 7000!"

[Dark 1★ Undying Attack Power? →7000]

He was just an ordinary skeleton, but with the support of his family, he was able to gain great power!

Although the art style of the beautiful Yuki-onna (Snow Woman) and the skeleton king (White Bone King) don't quite match, under the shroud of this undead world, Yuki-onna, who is an undead, also exudes a hint of demonic aura, which immediately sets off alarm bells in Sai-o's mind.

"7000 attack power is indeed not to be underestimated, but 7000 is not enough to defeat me."

Saiō was not afraid of any powerful monster, because the last monster he had was a monster that could be described as weak, but was also very strong. That monster was the nemesis of most monsters.

Monsters with zero attack and defense are said to possess more terrifying power than those with zero attack and defense.

“You’re right, the Bone King with 7000 attack power is indeed not enough to defeat you.”

"but!"

"I haven't used a Normal Summon yet this turn!"
