Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting as a Rabbit-Eared Demon King

"Are you crazy? If there were a whirlwind, wouldn't this situation be resolved? You've been with me for so long, don't you know how?" Li Youming couldn't help but curse Zorc.

“I don’t want to be like you, so what?” Zorc retorted, his voice choked with sarcasm.

"Fine, I'll just watch the show. I don't care anymore. Let's see how you guys win." Li Youming simply floated to the side and watched the show.

"My turn, draw!" Malik drew a card directly from his hand: "I'll give you a powerful monster. Tribute two of your monsters to Tribute Summon Lava Demon (3000/2500) in Attack Position!"

"Hahahaha, are you stupid? Giving me a monster with such high attack power?" Zorc directly mocked Malik.

"That monster's effect is to deduct 1000 life points from you every Standby Phase. I have a Regenerating Slime on the field. If you don't have a way to deal with it, you'll be gone in four turns."

"You!" Zorc glared at the monster through gritted teeth, but there wasn't much he could do.

"My turn is over." Malik ended his turn abruptly.

Malik's hand: 1

"My turn, draw a card!" Zorc drew a card, and Malik immediately followed up: "Based on the Lava Demon's effect, your life points are reduced by 1000!"

Zorc: 4000-3000

The intense pain caused Zorc to lose part of his left leg. The excruciating agony made him cry out. However, glancing at his hand, Zorc smiled and thought, "I entered the graveyard because of the Dark Necrophiliac; I can activate the field spell in my hand, Dark Sanctuary!"

As Zorc placed a Field Spell into the Duel Disk, the surroundings began to turn crimson, as if blood were churning. Eyes opened, creating a terrifying sight.

"This card's effect is that whenever your monster attacks and the necromancer's vengeful spirit attaches itself to it, that attack is negated, you take half the damage, and I restore your life points equal to the damage you took."

“What if I don’t attack?” Malik retorted directly.

"..."

"Hahahaha..." Malik burst into laughter: "So all that effort you put in to produce this? If this is your level, I'll accept the victory, hahahaha!"

“You! I’ll reveal my face-down card! Vega!” Zorc reluctantly revealed another face-down card: “During your end phase, I will collect a letter: d, e, a, t, h. When I collect them all, I will win! Now I have a d, so you only have four turns left!”

"So how many rounds do you have left?" Malik asked again.

"..."

"You're so embarrassing!" Li Youming looked at Zorc with utter disappointment, thinking, "What are you doing?"

"Open face down, big arrest! Transfer control of one monster on the opponent's field to me; this monster cannot attack. I control your Regenerating Slime on my field!"

Zorc waved his hand and finally activated a card that looked somewhat useful.

"Lava Demon God Attack, Lava Bullet!"

"Open the face-down card, interrogate the wheel! Depending on the effect, target one of your opponent's monsters, rendering it unable to attack! And during my preparation phase, you will suffer 500 damage!"

"You!" Zorc felt extremely frustrated that all his strategies had been suppressed.

"My turn is over!"

Zorc's hand: 2

"My turn, draw a card!" Malik added after drawing a card, "During my preparation phase, you lose 500 health points due to the Torture Wheel effect!"

Zorc: 3000-2500

"I'll put another card face down, end of turn." Malik didn't do anything, he just put another token back on the field.

Malik's hand: 1

The moment Malik finished, the Vega Disc started to activate, eventually pointing to the letter E. A magic card was retrieved from Zok's deck and placed in the magic zone.

"My turn, draw a card!" Zok had just drawn his card when Malik reminded him, "Based on the Lava Demon's effect, you will lose 1000 health points!"

Zorc: 2500-1500

"You bastard!" Zorc immediately raised one of his monsters: "I Tribute two monsters on the field to Special Summon Nine-Tailed Fox (2200/2000) from my hand in Attack Position!"

The Lava Demon and the Regenerating Slime were both sent to the graveyard. A nine-tailed fox, pure white with a bright red tail tip, appeared on the field and let out a sharp screech.

"I Special Summon Resentful Spirit - Infernal Fire (2200/1900)! Destroy my Nine-Tailed Fox according to its effect!"

"When my Nine-Tailed Fox is destroyed, there will be two Nine-Tailed Fox tokens on the field (500/500). That way I will have three tributes."

"Activate the Spell Card, exchange your hand, and hand over the Winged Dragon of Ra!"

"How did you know I had the Winged Dragon?" Malik asked fearfully, pretending that he had been seen through.

"That one card in your hand, which you neither summon, use, nor overwrite, is most likely the Winged Dragon of Ra that's stuck in your hand because you don't have enough tributes!"

Malik flipped over his only card, and sure enough, it was Ra's Winged Dragon.

Zorc's only remaining card is Dead Resurrection.

"So it really is going according to the original plot, huh?" Li Youming looked at the duel helplessly, feeling quite embarrassed.

"I offered two nine-tailed fox derivatives and the resentful soul - karmic fire as sacrifices to summon the sun god, Ra the Winged Dragon of Ra."

"Lei bei le xu, le Quang, sei fute, e puru, mu ying gan men, le wu, wu le, la, lei rui le wu. La's Winged Dragon of Ra effect activated! Attack and defense become the sum of the tribute!"

Zorc finished reciting the ancient priest's incantation and immediately summoned the Winged Dragon of Ra. At the same time, Malik activated his face-down card: "Open face-down card, Joyful End-Destroyer! This can be activated when the opponent makes a Tribute Summon, reducing the opponent's Tribute ATK to 0 and converting it all into your Life Points!"

Malik: 4000-7200

Ra: 0

"How could this happen?" Zorc was furious, having been suppressed the whole time. He had been patiently waiting to use Ra's Winged Dragon of Ra to achieve his goal, only to be outmaneuvered.

"Did I tell you not to summon the Winged Dragon of Ra?" Li Youming couldn't help but ask Zorc at this point.

"Stop making sarcastic remarks, since you're not going to help anyway!" Zorc replied somewhat angrily.

"...Nobody cares about you!" Li Youming had clearly given instructions and even changed the deck. This bastard just ignored him and changed the deck back. There's no saving him.

"My turn is over!"

Zorc's hand: 0

"My turn, draw a card!" Malik drew a card and ended his turn immediately without hesitation.

Malik's hand: 2

"My turn, draw!" Zorc said immediately after drawing the card. "I don't keep useless monsters. Tribute Winged Dragon of Ra to Tribute Summon Necromancer in Attack Position (2000/1600). Necromancer, attack Slime Token!"

"That's incredibly stupid..." Li Youming was speechless.
