Chapter 384 Retaliation
"But why haven't I encountered this kind of duel before?" Di Xing asked Xia Lu.
Xia Lu thought to herself, "I didn't know you before either," but since you were her savior, she still timidly said...
"Duel requires a high level of Spirit Power from the user, and it can only be initiated with the consent of both parties. To force a duel, the player initiating the duel must have a Spirit Power far exceeding that of the opponent."
"That's right. Why do you think the cognitive-impairing magic on those three auction items was dispelled? It's because I mobilized all the elven power in the entire arena to prepare for this duel."
"Ha, so what? Do you think you can defeat a dueling master like me? Di Xing's nose has even grown longer."
"I don't need to win against you, I just need to stall for time until our reinforcements arrive."
Wow, what a realistic villain!
"I activate my skill 'Deadly Confusion' once per duel, paying 1500 Life Points to transfer one Spell/Trap Card from my field (excluding Continuous Spell/Trap Cards) to your field. At the start of your next Main Phase, that card returns to my field, and then I select one monster from my field and transfer control to you."

【Nightmare Iron Barrier】 has been moved to the Di Xing field, but its effect is "As long as it's in the Spell & Trap Zone, monsters cannot attack," so the effect is the same whether it's on the Di Xing field or the Ju Xiang field. However, I haven't seen this Duelist skill in Duel Links before.
"This...this is a special skill!"
"Special skills?"
"That's right. Generally, a duelist's skills are determined by the duelist's Spirit Power attribute. Although people who can participate in duels already have high Spirit Power, most of them can only use very basic skills, such as increasing the attack or defense of their monsters of the same type or species by 500 points. Skills like hers are really rare."
So, in this world, is the Pharaoh's "Destined One-Draw" skill still a game-changing powerhouse? Truly worthy of being called the Pharaoh!
"Um, your name is Xia Lu, right? Can you help me see what skills I have?"
"I'm sorry, I don't have that ability."
"So I'm just a blank slate now?" Di Xing thought to himself.
"Hmph, looks like this is your first time participating in a duel. Well then, you can just relax and be a blank slate. Since I have no cards on the field, I can Special Summon [Rampage Express Rocket Arrow] (EARTH/Machine, Level 10, 5000/0) from my hand."
"This card cannot be Normal Summoned. It can only be Special Summoned if I have no cards on my field. The turn I Special Summon this card, I cannot take the Battle Phase. The controller of this card must either send all cards in their hand to the Graveyard during each of their Standby Phases, or allow this card to be destroyed without sending them to the Graveyard."
"Furthermore, as long as this card is in the Monster Zone, the controller of this card cannot activate the effects of Spell/Trap Monsters, nor can they set the card face-down."
Kikuka slammed the card in her hand heavily onto the floor, as if she were having a face-to-face duel, using the floor as a duel disk.
However, Bakusou Tokyuu Rocket Dagger did not appear on the field.
"Hey, where's your monster?"
Haven't you noticed? Look around you.
Di Xing looked around and was immediately shocked, because the walls of the entire auction hall had turned into metal sheets, and the entire auction hall had transformed into a carriage of a high-speed train.
"That's certainly amazing, but why did you summon that monster? You can't do anything with it on the field... Holy crap, could it be?"
"That's right. When your main phase begins, the Rampage Express will be transferred to your field, and you won't be able to do anything but attack. But because of the Nightmare Barrier's effect, you won't even be able to attack!"
"Don't even think about it. I discard 'Sakuya Shigure' from my hand. When you Special Summon a monster, discard this card, and that monster's effects are negated until the End Phase!"
Sakuya Shigure walked onto the field with a blank expression, staring silently at the sheet metal on the ceiling.
Instantly, Di Xing felt that the entire metal carriage had become stupid.
"Are you stupid?" Juxiang sneered. "He's still on my field. If you negate his effect, doesn't that mean I can activate and set cards?"
"What?"
"How foolish! Just like how foolish you were to even think of rescuing these people from the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion."
"The lives of all the items in this auction house end the moment they enter. This auction house is a train leading to a living hell. No one can escape; they can only wait here for their grave-like fate, whether it's them or me!"
"Sorry, I'm in a hurry. Could you please hurry up?"
"Heh! Not gentlemanly at all, but since you helped me remove the restriction that [Boom Express Rocket Arrow] couldn't be set, it would be a shame if I didn't set some cards. I'll set two cards, and then... Hehehe, you think I'll end my turn? My mission is to delay you until reinforcements arrive."
"So I'll definitely do everything I can to stall for time. Even though you won't be able to do anything next round, I have no reason not to stall for time this round!"
"I see. He's quite a rational villain after all. But like I said, I'm in a hurry."
Di Xing brandished a pistol with his right hand. Along the line extending forward from his hand were the cards: [Nightmare's Iron Bars], [Bakusou Express Rocket Arrow], the card Ju Xiang had just placed, and Ju Xiang herself behind it. Perhaps due to the auctioneer's professional habit, Ju Xiang habitually placed the cards in the middle.
For some reason, Juxiang, who was being targeted, was on high alert, thinking, "What are you thinking...?"
"Because there are three cards in the same column, I Special Summon [Iron Knight Dragon - Creation Mother Machine]! This effect can also be activated during your turn!"
A mechanical black dragon, its entire body made of metal, flew from Di Xing's fingertips. Hmm, this card was one he had just picked up.
"When Ironclad Dragon, the Mother of Creation, enters the field, destroy all cards in the same column as her!"
The Creator Mother Goddess wrapped her entire body in metallic wings, forming a black bullet that instantly pierced through the three cards in front of Di Xing.
"Damn it! Did they ruin the Rampage Express? But it's still my turn, I'll stall until..."
"Your turn is over." Di Xing put away his hand. "The effect of Shuo Ye Shi Yu: When a monster whose effect is negated leaves the field, inflict damage to you equal to that monster's original ATK. Because of the DL rule, the effect damage is halved, so you inflict 2500 damage."
"Wh-what?"
"So-called humans can't even wait a mere ten minutes!"
Sakuya Shigure appeared in front of Kikuka without her noticing. "Big sister, you can't just stand there like that."
Then, instantly, the [Boom Express Rocket Arrow] card shattered, cracks began to spread across the entire massive carriage in the auction house, and then a tremendous explosion occurred.

"This...this is a zero-turn kill!" Xia Lu exclaimed in disbelief.
