Chapter 67: The Power of Insects!
In a dark projection room.
BANG! A loud noise shattered the silence.
The tall and slender Téa shot up from the floor, panic on her face as she stared ahead, muttering incessantly:
"Why am I here?"
Téa remembered clearly being with Yu Miao and the others on the mysterious "fourth floor" leading to the abandoned school building, undergoing a trial.
After that...
She inexplicably appeared in this place, then a pain in the back of her head... and then she woke up like this.
In front of Téa stood a short figure clad in a black hooded cloak, who spoke:
"Hehe, Mai, you've been kidnapped by me."
Téa looked wary and asked suspiciously:
"That creepy and cowardly voice... I think I've heard it somewhere before?"
"Are you that despicable and shameless Weevil from Duelist Kingdom?"
The hooded figure, whose identity had been exposed, panicked and retorted: "No, I'm not, don't talk nonsense."
In fact, Téa had guessed correctly. This hooded figure was indeed Weevil Underwood, his heart filled with turmoil.
—Damn it, this Mai actually saw through my disguise?
Téa looked at Weevil with contempt, her gaze seeming to say: "Stop lying, you must be Weevil."
Since things had come to this, Weevil Underwood stopped pretending. He removed his black hooded cloak and chose to admit it openly!
That's right, Weevil Underwood intended to kidnap Téa.
He had discovered during this time that Yu Miao was quite familiar with this Téa; even the dance machine at the arcade was reserved for her use.
An idea struck Weevil Underwood: he would kidnap Téa, then use her to negotiate with Yu Miao, trading a person for a few rare cards—not an unreasonable deal, right?
On the day of the school festival, Weevil Underwood could openly mix in.
But he couldn't find Téa and was about to give up.
Unexpectedly, right in this place, he happened to run into the appearing Mai.
Weevil Underwood raised his hand and knocked Téa unconscious with a stick in the corridor, then grabbed her shoes and dragged her into this projection room.
He didn't expect that after going out to find a rope, he'd return to find this woman had already woken up...
"Darn it, couldn't you just stay quietly kidnapped?" Weevil Underwood picked up the nearby stick, intending to give Téa another knock on the head.
Just at this moment, an anomaly occurred.
Time was stopped.
Footsteps approached from the distance.
Yu Miao opened the room door and walked in.
He hoisted Téa onto his shoulder and moved a few steps. Time resumed its flow.
BANG!!
The wooden stick in Weevil's hand hit the wall, then rebounded and struck his own forehead.
"Oww, that hurts." Weevil dropped the stick, rubbing his forehead with both hands, muttering.
More than physical pain, Weevil was more shocked about why Yu Miao was here.
"So, the thief that night was you." Yu Miao suddenly understood.
This guy Weevil Underwood employed all sorts of underhanded tactics. From the moment he appeared at the arcade, Yu Miao should have known.
Probably failing to steal cards, he then set his sights on Téa.
It seemed the final part of the Bingo mission's protagonist was Weevil Underwood.
"Yu Miao, how did you know I was here?" Téa felt the position was a bit awkward and started wriggling, wanting to get down.
Instead, because of this movement.
Téa's face instantly turned fiery red.
In contrast to Téa's embarrassment, Yu Miao remained calm. He replied: "The most skilled magicians are proficient in all kinds of tracking magic."
The Bingo mission had already alerted Yu Miao that Téa would be in danger, so he had long ago secretly let his Dark Magician Girl do something to her.
After leaving the abandoned school building, Yu Miao directly followed the tracking magic to find Téa.
At this moment, in Yu Miao's eyes, Weevil Underwood was a walking 800 points of Card Dust.
"If you want rare cards, why resort to such lowly methods as kidnapping? Why not just duel me?" Yu Miao's expression turned fierce as he challenged Weevil Underwood to a duel.
Weevil Underwood had his back against the wall; his kidnapping failed, and he was caught red-handed.
At a time like this, only a duel could save him!!
When in doubt, resolve it with a duel—this is the truth of the dueling world.
"Darn it, you Yu Miao, as a former duel champion, I'm not afraid of you!" Weevil Underwood activated his Duel Disk, accepting the duel.
Duel*2!!
Weevil Underwood: 4000 LP
Yu Miao: 4000 LP
"My turn, draw." Weevil Underwood, grinning, simply set 1 card face-down and ended his turn.
From his despicable smile, it was clear this card held some scheme.
"My turn, draw." After drawing, Yu Miao immediately summoned Gaia!!
Gaia the Magical Knight dragged "Curse of Dragonfire" onto the field, fusing with it through its effect.
Gaia the Magical Knight of Dragons entered the field!!
Yu Miao didn't have the Spell Card "Spiral Spear Strike" in his hand, so he chose to place it in Defense Position. Its hefty 2100 DEF rear was presented on the field.
It was the first time Weevil Underwood had seen a Fusion Summon without using a Fusion Card. He couldn't help but be shocked by this power.
Unfortunately, no matter how strong you are, you'll still fall into his trap.
"Hahaha, I've been waiting for this move."
"Activate my face-down Trap Card, Bottomless Trap Hole."
Ding~
A despicable trap hole activated.
Dragon Curse Knight Gaia was sucked into the opening crack below; its powerful suction was irresistible.
[Bottomless Trap Hole: Can be activated when your opponent Summons, Flip Summons, or Special Summons a monster(s) with 1500 or more ATK. Destroy and banish those monster(s) with 1500 or more ATK.]
Just like that, Dragon Curse Knight Gaia was destroyed, and the entire card was banished from the game.
"Bwahahaha, no matter how strong you are, you absolutely cannot resist such a trap." Weevil Underwood laughed heartily.
Yu Miao didn't speak. Duels were never smooth sailing. Compared to the various "hand traps" that stopped plays in his past life.
Weevil's Bottomless Trap Hole was just child's play.
"Then I'll also set 1 card and end my turn." Yu Miao said calmly.
"Heh, feel the terror of the Insect-Type." Weevil forcefully drew a card and raised the monster in his hand high~
Ding~
On the field, a burst of light emerged.
A white-haired girl wearing red rounded-toe shoes appeared.
[Traptrix Myrmeleo, 1600 ATK, Insect-Type]
Seeing this monster, Yousei instinctively blurted out:
"Traptrix?"
"Why do you have this kind of monster?"
Weevil felt insulted and retorted loudly:
"She is also an Insect-Type; this is a new rare card I painstakingly searched for."
"Yu Miao, let her new power be your sacrifice."
After his defeat in Duelist Kingdom, Weevil Underwood was dejected. Once glorious, he could only live a life of hardship.
Getting a real job was out of the question.
Then, one night in a dream.
Weevil Underwood felt he had arrived at a strange place.
In that place, he experienced a series of adventures. Upon waking, he found unfamiliar rare cards in his hand.
That was this 4-Star "Traptrix" monster.
And another powerful monster called "Insect Queen."
"Haha, Yu Miao, feel the power of the Traptrix!"
"When she is Normal Summoned successfully, I can activate her effect."
"I can add 1 Normal Trap Card with 'Hole' or 'Trap Hole' in its name from my Deck to my hand."
Amidst sinister laughter, Weevil Underwood opened his Deck and added a second "Bottomless Trap Hole" to his hand.
Clearly, the power of Traptrix was anything but ordinary; it was downright treacherous.
However, just as Weevil Underwood thought he was the big bad guy, the Yousei across from him revealed a "terrifying" and greedy smile.
Weevil was so scared he sat right down on the floor, pointing at Yu Miao in a panic and asking: "W-w-what's with that smile you're giving me?"
