Yu-Gi-Oh!: Holding Ruri Kurosaki, I'm invincible!

Chapter 161 Birds VS Plants

Ruri glanced at the four Lyrebird monsters on the field, a glint of light flashing in her eyes. Her tone was firm: "Stack the level 1 Jade Swallow, Turquoise Warbler, Azure Wagtail, and Beryl Canary!"

Four small bird shadows took off simultaneously, merging into an even more dazzling pale blue supercharge vortex.

Birdsong mingled within the vortex, and Ruri raised her hand, calling out loudly: "Xyz Summon—Appear! Level 1, Spirit Bird of Hope, Lyric Robin - Gathering Nightingale!"

The supermassive vortex exploded with a roar, and a nightingale larger than the other lyrebirds appeared. It was entirely silvery-white, with colorful light patterns adorning its wings.

Its crest was even more magnificent, and its body was surrounded by a rich, soft light. Its cry was grand and melodious, as if it could dispel all darkness.

[Lyrical Robin - Gathering Nightingales, ATKO]

"The effect of Gathering Nightingales has activated!"

Ruri explained with a smile, "This card's ATK increases by 100 times the number of Xyz Materials. Now that we have 4 Xyz Materials, our ATK increases by 400 points!"

The light surrounding the nightingale grew increasingly dazzling, and its attack power value rapidly fluctuated, eventually settling at 400 points.

[Lyrical Robin - Gathering Nightingales, ATKO→400]

"fighting!"

Liuli raised her hand to command, "Gathering Nightingales will allow for an extra number of attacks using materials, and they can directly attack the player! Attack!"

The nightingales gathered and took flight, condensing a soft beam of light from their beaks.

The light bullet hurtled straight at Youli, and the moment it hit, Youli's health dropped.

[During the trip, LP increased from 4000 to 3600]

"Second time!" Liuli continued to command, gathering the Nightingale to condense light bullets again and launch an attack.

[During the trip, LP increased from 3600 to 3200]

"The third time!"

[During the trip, LP increased from 3200 to 2800]

"The fourth time!"

[During the trip, LP increased from 2800 to 2400]

Youli staggered back a step and raised his hand to wipe the virtual sweat from the corner of his mouth.

A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he said in a flippant tone, "Heh, is that all? Just a tickle?"

Ignoring his taunts, Liuli continued to command: "Next, use the Lyric Robin - Chanting Jade Bird to attack the Hungry Poison Fusion Dragon!"

The singing bird flapped its wings and took flight, the musical notes in its beak condensing into a pale blue blade of light that charged toward the Hungry Poison Fusion Dragon.

"Ugh, they actually used a monster with even lower attack power to ram my Fusion Dragon, are they out of their minds?!"

You Li scoffed, his face full of disdain.

In his view, this was undoubtedly courting death.

The 600-attack-power Chanting Bird has no chance against the 2800-attack-power Hungry Poison Fusion Dragon.

A faint smile appeared on Liuli's lips, her tone calm yet powerful: "The combat damage inflicted by chanting 'Starling' can cause the opponent to suffer the same amount of damage."

"What?!"

Yu Li's expression changed slightly, his eyes instantly turning serious, and he exclaimed in shock, "Make me take combat damage too?"

He reacted instantly, immediately realizing the card's fatal flaw.

My deck is all about aggressive play, and the Hungry Poison Fusion Dragon is the type of card that needs to be destroyed to trigger its subsequent effects.

However, Ruri Kurosaki's tactic was not to destroy it at all, but to gradually reduce her own health through this kind of offensive maneuver.

This playstyle is a nemesis for his aggressive decks.

Yuri was secretly alarmed: this aggressive deck was a completely advantageous situation for Kurosaki Ruri.

She doesn't need to fight head-on; she can just wear me down slowly, and I'll lose sooner or later!

"Is this the end of this attack? Go, Singing Starling!" Ruri raised her hand, her tone firm.

"Tch, it's not that simple!"

Yuri's eyes sharpened, and he shouted in a stern voice, slamming his hand on the trap zone of the Duel Disk: "Activate the Trap Card Crossbow Force!"

Tribute one of your monsters to destroy any other monster on the field!

I will sacrifice the Hunger Poison Fusion Dragon to destroy your Chanting Starling!

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge black crossbow suddenly appeared on the field. Several green-skinned, pointy-eared goblins appeared beside the crossbow, chattering and bustling around it.

The Hungry Poison Fusion Dragon let out a reluctant roar and leaped onto the crossbow's quiver, transforming into a giant poison arrow.

The goblins shouted in unison and pulled the crossbow strings with all their might, instantly drawing the bowstrings to their full draw.

With a piercing whistling sound, the poisoned arrow shot towards the charging singing starling like an arrow released from a bow.

"boom--!"

The poisoned arrow and the singing starling collided with a deafening roar, and both figures shattered simultaneously, turning into countless specks of light that vanished into nothingness.

The Hunger Poison fused with the Dragon's deadly mist and the soft glow of the Singing Starling.

The two forces vanished instantly, and the oppressive atmosphere of the arena also weakened somewhat.

Ruri Kurosaki frowned slightly as she watched the singing starlings disappear from the field.

His tone carried a hint of regret, and he lightly clenched the Duel Disk with his fingertips, his movements revealing a slight sense of unwillingness: "What a pity."

She took a deep breath, suppressed her disappointment, and raised her hand to draw a card from her deck.

I neatly and decisively place it in the trap zone. "I set a card face down, end of turn."

Yuli stood there, looking at his empty court, the disdain in his eyes long gone.

Instead, there was a sense of solemnity and a hint of sinister intent.

He snorted coldly, took a small step forward, and looked down at Liuli: "Hmph, it seems I really underestimated you, little girl."

He raised his hand to straighten his sleeves and pressed his fingertips firmly onto the duel disk.

Dark purple demonic energy swirled around him once more, his eyes grew increasingly fierce, and his aura grew ever colder: "But it doesn't matter. Soon, you'll witness my terror. My turn, draw a card!"

Yuri suddenly raised his hand to draw a card and slammed it into the spell zone of the Duel Disk: "Activate Spell Card Take!"

"Over 5! Send the top 5 cards of your deck to the graveyard!"

As soon as he finished speaking, five cards automatically popped out of his deck, surrounded by black mist, and slowly disappeared into the graveyard.

A strange purple light suddenly appeared in the cemetery, as if countless evil forces were surging in the dark.

Youli's lips curled into a cold smile, his eyes fixed on Liuli with a sinister gaze, as if victory was already in his grasp.

"Activate the effect of the Compensation Card for Being Sent to the Graveyard!"

Yuri tapped the graveyard with his fingertip, a hint of smugness in his voice, "If this card is sent to the graveyard, draw two more cards from your deck!"

Two more cards popped out of the deck. Yuri quickly scanned them, his fervor growing even stronger: "Activate the effect of Predatory Plant - Glandular Wasp from the Graveyard again!"

Add one Predator Monster other than this card from your Deck to your hand!

I choose to add "Predatory Plant - Cordyceps" from my deck to my hand!

A card printed with a strange insect-like plant popped out of the deck and flew into Yuri's hand.

Without pausing, he raised his hand and slapped a monster card onto the Duel Disk.

A dark green light shone, carrying a pungent, fishy odor: "Immediately afterward, I summon the predatory plant, the Bee Orchid Scorpion!"
