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

Chapter 162 Predatory Plants - Rhinoceros Horned Dragon

A dark green light exploded, and a strange plant resembling a scorpion sprouted from the ground, its tail gleaming with a dark purple stinger.

Its petals are as beautiful as those of a bee orchid, yet they drip sticky, highly poisonous sap and take root on the field.

It emitted a sizzling, corrosive sound, and was surrounded by a faint venomous mist.

【Plant-eating Bee Orchid Scorpion, ATK1200】

"If the Bee Orchid Scorpion is successfully summoned, its effect will activate!"

Yuri shouted sternly, "Discard a monster from your hand, and Special Summon a Plant-eating Monster from your Deck!"

"I discard Cordyceps sinensis," Special Summon "Predatory Plant - Cobra" from my Deck!

The deck next to the graveyard lit up again, a dark green light rose, and a plant monster resembling a cobra slowly appeared.

The snake's body was wrapped in emerald green vines, its head was open, its mouth was full of sharp teeth, and dripping venom fell to the ground.

It instantly corroded a small black hole, making the aura even more eerie.

[Predatory Plant: Snake Bottle Grass and Cobra, ATK1000]

"The effect of 'Snake Bottle Grass Cobra' has activated!"

Yuri's lips curled into a sinister smile. He lightly tapped the monster with his fingertip. "If this card is successfully Special Summoned by the effect of a Plant-eating Monster, add one Fusion Spell Card from your Deck to your hand!"

A card with a fusion pattern popped out of the deck. Yuri grabbed it and slammed it onto the Duel Disk, shouting feverishly, "Activate the Spell Card Fusion! Fusion the 'Hornet Scorpion' and 'Snake Bottle Grass Cobra' on the field!"

Using poison as a catalyst and plants as a body, fuse and summon the predatory plant, the Pineapple Insectivorous Valley Spirit Whale!

Two dark green figures flew into the fusion array at the same time, and the fusion array expanded instantly, with the mist churning.

A giant pineapple-shaped carnivorous plant slowly coalesced, with a whale-like body growing beneath it.

It was wrapped in countless tiny vines, the tips of which were covered with tiny poisonous thorns.

The pineapple petals opened, emitting a strong, poisonous fragrance. It slowly moved across the field, each step causing the ground to tremble slightly.

[Plant-eating Pineapple Insectivorous Whale, ATK1000]

"If this card is successfully Fusion Summoned, its effect activates!"

Yu Li raised his hand and gave a command, his eyes fierce: "Add a Plant-related Spell/Trap Card from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand."

I choose to add the spell card "Predator Graft" to my hand!

"Activate Predatory Graft!" Special Summon a Plant-like Monster from your Graveyard—Rise, Plant-like Venus Flytrap Spinosaurus!

A dazzling green light rose from the cemetery, and a Venus flytrap monster resembling a spiny dragon burst from the ground, its body covered with emerald green scales.

Its back is covered with sharp thorns, and its head is a huge Venus flytrap leaf with sharp teeth along its edges.

It appeared menacingly on the field, dripping with highly toxic liquid.

【Predatory Plant - Venus Flytrap Spinosaurus, ATK1800】

"The effect of 'Venus Flytrap Spinosaurus' has activated!"

Yuri's eyes narrowed, and his fingertip pointed directly at the Nightingales gathered on the glass field. "If this card is Special Summoned, you can target 1 face-up opponent monster on the field and place a Predator Counter on that monster!"

I've placed an indicator for your "Lyrical Robin - Gathering Nightingale"!

The Venus flytrap opened its huge leaves, and a dark green ray of light shot out, landing on the gathered nightingales.

A small green marker slowly emerged and attached itself to the wings of the gathered nightingales.

The nightingales' calls instantly weakened, and the light around them dimmed slightly.

"Next, activate the effect of Pineapple Insect-Eating Valley Spirit Whale!"

Yuri burst into laughter, "Tribute one monster with a Predator Counter on your opponent's field, and Special Summon one Plant-like Monster from your Deck!"

"Oops!"

Ruri Kurosaki's expression changed drastically, her whole body trembled slightly, and she gripped the Duel Disk tightly with her fingertips, a sense of panic rising in her heart.

Gathering the nightingales is her only defensive barrier now, and also the key to her subsequent counterattack.

If this monster is freed, she will completely lose her support and will no longer be able to resist Yuri's attacks!

She instinctively took a step forward, her eyes filled with anxiety and resentment, her heart screaming: This is the only way.

"Activate the Nightingale Swarm effect!"

Liuli blurted out, her voice trembling slightly, "Remove one Xyz Material, this turn."

All Lyrebird monsters cannot be destroyed in battle, and the battle damage they take is reduced to 0!

The supermaterial gathered on the nightingale dissipated, and a soft light returned to its body, with the predator markers on its wings flickering slightly.

"It doesn't matter."

Yu Li scoffed, his tone full of disdain, "Even if you activate the effect, it won't change anything!"

Unleash your "Gathering Nightingale" to Special Summon "Predatory Plant - Sundew Frilled Lizard"!

As soon as the words were spoken, the nightingales gathered in the glass arena let out a reluctant cry, and were entangled by a dark green vine.

It was forcibly pulled into the fusion array within the game world, where it transformed into a beam of light and dissipated.

At the same time, Yuri's deck lit up, and a plant-eating monster resembling a frilled lizard slowly appeared.

Its body is covered with sticky, sundew-like leaves, its tail spreads out like an umbrella, and a faint poisonous mist surrounds it.

【Plant predator sundew lizard, ATK600】

You probably don't know the effects of the sundew frilled lizard, do you?

Yuri's lips curled into a cruel smile as he stepped forward: "As long as this card is on the field, it can be Fusion Summoned even without Fusion Spell!"

He spread his arms wide, his tone fanatical and ruthless, and his demonic energy erupted completely. The dark green fusion array unfolded once again, enveloping the entire arena.

"Fusing the Sundew Frilled Lizard, the Pineapple Insectivorous Valley Whale, and the Venus Flytrap Spinosaurus! Using three poisonous plants as a base and demonic energy as a catalyst, we summon—a Level 8 Predatory Plant, the Rhinoceros Horned Dragon!"

Three dark green figures flew into the fusion array at the same time, and a violent burst of light erupted, with demonic energy surging and boiling.

A giant, rhinoceros-horned dragon-like predatory plant slowly materialized, its body thick and covered in hard green armor.

It has a huge rhinoceros horn on its head, which glows with a dark purple poisonous light, and its back is wrapped with countless thick vines.

The vines were covered with sharp, poisonous thorns and were surrounded by a thick, highly toxic mist.

The pressure was even stronger than that of the previous Hungry Poison Fusion Dragon. The arena floor was slightly dented by its weight, making a "creaking" sound.

[Herbivorous Rhinoceros Horned Dragon, ATK2700]

"fighting!"

Yuli raised his hand to give the order, his eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty light, "Use the Predatory Plant Rhinoceros to attack the player directly!"

"Let me show you the pain of being devoured by poisonous plants!"

The rhinoceros-horned dragon let out a deafening roar, and its huge horn gathered dark green, highly toxic energy as it charged towards Ruri Kurosaki.

Wherever the highly toxic fog passed, the ground was corroded, leaving a black mark.

Liuli instinctively raised her hand to block, but was violently thrown away by the shockwave and stumbled to the ground.

Virtual blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his life points on the duel disk plummeted instantly.
