Chapter 358 Bloodshed!
"I will attack first."

Qi Mengsi calmly scanned her five initial cards, her movements fluid and without the slightest hesitation.

"Send the [Growing Bulb] card from your hand to the Graveyard, activate the Spell Card, [One-on-One]!"

A card was played swiftly and decisively, and the light on the card image instantly materialized.

Special Summon a Level 1 monster from your Deck.

Moon frowned and subconsciously looked down at her hand.

【Harpie's Feather Broom】, 【Forbidden Drop】, 【Great Sun Maiden's Mage】, 【Mage's Water Dance】, 【Lava Demon】.

A perfect back-attack breakthrough hand.

As long as the opponent doesn't use FTK (First Strike), [Water Dance of the Witch] can be used in conjunction with [Lava Demon] to clear the opponent's field in one turn, and then [Great Sun Maiden] can counter-kill.

But Qi Mengsi's unusual behavior made her feel uneasy.

They wouldn't actually play [Lycoris Radiata FTK] in such an important match, would they?

"There is no chain." Moon suppressed her unease, her voice feigning composure.

"Then I shall accept your offer." Qi Mengsi gave a faint smile, picked out a card from her deck, and placed it on the Duel Disk.

Special Summon - [Evil Thorn]!

A small, purplish-black flower with strange patterns sprouted from the hard alloy arena and swayed gently.

Immediately afterwards, Qi Mengsi continued operating without hesitation.

"Unleash [Evil Thorns] and activate its effect."

"Inflict 300 damage to your opponent, and Special Summon two [Evil Thorns] from your Deck."

The purplish-black flower vanished as a curtain of light, and a phantom vine covered in barbs suddenly shot out from it, whistling through the air, and swung precisely across a distance of tens of meters towards the moon's face!

Snapped!
A crisp sound rang out, particularly jarring in the silent arena.

The moon's head was jerked to the side by the blow, and a burning pain shot through her cheek beneath the silver mask.

She instinctively reached out to touch it, and where her fingertips touched, a clear red welt was rapidly swelling.

pain!
It was real, tangible pain!

This bastard!
In the red zone below the stage, Taiyang and the others' faces darkened. This was no longer a duel, but a blatant slap in the face!

On the Moon's Duel Disk, the Life Points jumped from 4000 to 3700.

"Wow—is this what women fighting looks like?" Li Guanqi was dumbfounded. "That lash must have been fueled by some personal grudge."

His lover beside him giggled, her warm breath brushing against his ear: "Brother, we can play this too."

"You can hit me or I can hit you."

Li Guanqi: "..."

Can someone please teach her a lesson?
On the other side, Tang Xin was stunned for a moment, then jumped up, waving her fists and shouting, "Good hit! Instructor! Give it a good beating!"

On the stage, Yue Liang suddenly raised her head, her mask unable to conceal the anger and horror in her eyes.

She finally understood.

This crazy woman.

The outcome of the duel is secondary.

Hitting someone is the most important thing!
Qi Mengsi ignored her murderous gaze, simply watching the two identical purplish-black flowers slowly bloom in her field.

She raised her eyes, and a clear, emotionless smile appeared on her perpetually icy face.

"Don't worry."

"This is just the beginning."

"Activate the effect of [Growing Bulb] in the Graveyard, send the top card of your Deck to the Graveyard, and Special Summon this card."

The projection of the Dandelion Lion flashed by and entered the graveyard, where the Growing Bulbs bloomed on the battlefield.

"Activate the Graveyard effect of [Dandelion Lion] to Special Summon two [Wool Tokens] to the field."

Two dandelions floated up, their faces radiant with sunshine and cuteness.

The classic field attack totals 300, but there are five monsters, which, in layman's terms, means five values.

"【Growing Bulbs】piled up 【Dandelion Lions】, is the referee really not going to do anything about it?" Li Guanqi complained. "Does high leadership really mean you can do whatever you want?"

"Oh dear," the lover said sarcastically, "you're pretty much the same, brother."

"【Beast King】just happened to drop 【Lila】, sigh, it's all fate—"

It was clear that she still cared a lot about the duel in her dream.

"I'll set connection markers for the two [Wool Derivatives]," Qi Mengsi continued, "Connect Summon!"

"Link2, [Aroma Seraph-Jasmine]!"

The purplish-black flowers simply transformed into specks of light, merging into the body of [Fragrant Seraph - Jasmine].

"Release [Evil Thorn], activate the effect of [Jasmine], Special Summon 1 Plant-Type monster from your Deck."

Qi Mengsi drew a card from her deck and played it.

Special Summon: [Lone Spark]

A small flower, enveloped in flames, blooms before Jasmine.

"Next, I will link the [Growing Bulb] with the [Evil Thorn]!"

Green lights and purplish-black flames intertwined and rose into the air, tearing open a brand new circuit on the arena.

"Connect Summon!"

"Link-2, [Crystal Mechanism - Inherited Fiberglass]!"

A small mecha warrior, made entirely of translucent crystal, descended and hovered in mid-air. Though small in size, it exuded a great sense of oppression.

"What a classic twin flower Kondratiev," Immy X muttered softly.

"Activate the effect of [Inherited Fiberglass]." Qi Mengsi spoke calmly and deliberately, "Special Summon one 3-star or lower Tuner monster from your Deck."

She popped a card from the deck.

"Special Summon, [Crimson Rose Dragon]."

With a clear and melodious dragon's roar, a small red dragon entwined with rose vines flew out at the summoning of [Inherited Fiberglass] and gracefully landed on Qi Mengsi's shoulder.

"I will set a connection marker between Link-2's [Fragrant Seraph - Jasmine] and Link-2's [Crystal Mechanism - Inherited Fiberglass]!"

The adorable plant girl and the cold mechanical warrior simultaneously transformed into streams of light, rushing towards the center of the loop in the sky, where a square light curtain descended.

"If the future is a snare that leads to the end!"

"Then let's break through the cage!"

"Connect and summon!" Qi Mengsi shouted.

Above the arena, four bright red connecting arrows lit up, one up and three down!
"This arrow!" The moon's eyes widened suddenly. "[Topological Logic Bombardment Dragon]?!"

It’s over.

Only those two words remained in her mind.

"Tsk tsk tsk..." ImiX licked his lips, "Connect to summon [Topological Logic Bombing Dragon], send [Lycoris radiata] to the graveyard, at the end of the turn [Bombing Dragon] blows up [Lycoris radiata], and burns it to death in a loop."

"She really dares to play [Lycoris Radiata FTK] in this kind of situation?"

"I told you to bring some [DD Raven] and [Ghost Rabbit], but you didn't."

Imi X's words were like a bomb, detonating in the crowd in the red zone.

The sun subconsciously tightened its grip on Li Guanqi's hand, so much so that Li Guanqi couldn't help but frown.

The moon's fingertips trembled slightly as she held the cards, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead. Her hand was strong, but none of them could interrupt the opponent's turn.

If it really is FTK, she can only stand there and wait to die.

This crazy woman!
On the arena, Qi Mengsi was oblivious to everything around her; her eyes were only on her own battlefield.

"Connect Summon!"

However, what descended from the portal was not the dark mechanical dragon that brought destruction.

Instead, she is a goddess clad in silver armor and wielding a dazzling divine bow.

She was surrounded by the bright moonlight, sacred and majestic, and had a pair of adorable animal ears, making her both lovable and hateful.

"Come on!"

"Link-4, [Bow of the Summoning God - Apollos]!"

[Divine Bow of Summoning Destiny-Apolosa]

Attack: 1600
The moment she saw the Divine Bow, Moon's extremely tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and she collapsed.

"Phew... thankfully, it's just the [Divine Bow]..."

Within the red zone, the Pope's confidants all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Just keep playing games; as long as you keep playing games, there's still hope for a solution."

"Luckily, she didn't know our deck information, so she didn't dare to gamble."

"Ha, they're just a bunch of cowards after all."

Only Li Guanqi frowned even more deeply.

He stared intently at Qi Mengsi's performance on the field.

To play it safe, I'll use two points of [Divine Bow] for protection first. There's also [Lone Spark] on the field that hasn't been activated yet, and I haven't used Normal Summon. The field should be quite large.

However, [Witchcraft] is a deck that is compatible with [Lava Demon].

If it comes down to a head-to-head battle, it's really hard to say.

"Release [Lone Flower] and activate its effect." Qi Mengsi continued, "Special Summon [Lone Flower] from the Deck."

The moon frowned, looking quite puzzled.

Are you still piling up plant-type monsters in the graveyard?

What's the point of not doing the Lycoris radiata FTK?
The Divine Bow and the Bomber Dragon are not compatible in terms of arrowheads, so the Divine Bow cannot be used to escort the Lycoris Radiata FTK.

"I activate [Lone Spark], Special Summon 1 Plant-Type monster from my Deck." Qi Mengsi's fingertip swept across the deck, precisely slamming the card down. "Come on!"

"【The Black Knight of Night Rose】!"

Unfortunately, I drew a [Lone Spark] card in my opening hand, so I can't continue to overwork myself.

As the pitch-black night fell silently, a scarlet full moon hung high in the sky. Under the moonlight, countless black rose petals swirled and danced, converging to form the tall figure of a knight.

"【The Black Knight of Night Rose】?!"

The moon's voice trembled as she stared intently at the unfamiliar knight, a sense of foreboding gripping her heart.

"Have you also gained new power?"

Below the stage, the Pope's cloudy old eyes narrowed sharply. He turned to look at Chu Linfeng, his voice icy: "Your intelligence didn't mention this."

"Inquiring about the construction of the Twin Flowers?" Chu Linfeng's face darkened, and he scoffed, "Your Holiness, you're making things difficult for me."

"Interesting, very interesting!" Imi X, always eager for a good show, clapped his hands excitedly. "Let's fight! It'll be more fun if they all show their true skills!"

Qi Mengsi gave a light snort, continued her operation, and waved her hand, saying:
"Activate the effect of [Black Knight of Night Rose]".

She pointed and said, "Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Plant-Type monster from the Graveyard, negating its effects."

The Black Knight slowly raised his armored hand and pointed to the ground. A familiar little flower trembled as it broke through the soil; it was the [Lone Spark], who had sacrificed itself due to overwork.

The Lonely Fire Flower, which died from overwork, bloomed again, but the petals were much dimmer, clearly indicating that it was no longer able to activate its effect.

But that's enough.

"I will use the Level 3 Tuner [Crimson Rose Dragon] and the Level 3 [Lone Flower]—"

Qi Mengsi's voice echoed in the empty arena, carrying a chilling sense of impending doom.

"Adjust the stars!"

The Crimson Rose Dragon let out a clear and melodious roar, transforming into three emerald rings that surrounded the dim Lone Flame!
A column of light shot up into the sky!

"Thorns entwine withered bones, and black flowers bloom at the end!"

"Under the cold moon, witness the witch's demise!"

"Summon Synchro!" "Bloom—Level 6! [The Witch of Black Rose and Thorns]!"

As the light faded, a figure slowly descended.

She wore a deep red dress woven from countless black rose petals and sharp thorns, her bare feet hovering in mid-air, her long red hair cascading down like a waterfall, making her stunningly beautiful face appear even paler.

She slowly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of emotionless, pitch-black pupils. The moon trembled in fright at the mere glance they met.

"Whoa—" Below the Blue Team's stage, a group of Dark Guards and female interns instantly erupted in cheers, "Boss!"

"Instructor—!"

【Black Rose and the Witch of Thorns】is a new card based on the training story of the Dark Island, with Qimengsi as the main character. It's really rare to see a new 【Rose Dragon】 card these days.

The number of duelists in Biantana who are still playing [Rose Dragon] can probably be counted on one hand.

After all, without special moves like the [Bulb] Pile [Dandelion Lion], it's really hard to win a duel.

As for why the card is called "Witch," it sounds so ferocious.

You'd have to ask Tang Xin and the others.

"Activate the effect of [Thorn Witch]!" Qi Mengsi shouted, "Send [Spore] and [Garden Rose Maiden] to the Graveyard from both the Deck and the Extra Deck."

"Chain activation of the effect of [Red Rose Dragon], Special Summon [Rose Dragon of Izayoi], and then add [Cold Rose's Embrace] to your hand."

They grabbed two units in one go, gaining four resource points in quick succession, leaving the Red team dumbfounded.

Yuuki Hinale, also on the red side, thought of her own [Evil Hero Fallen Claw Demon] and exclaimed inwardly, "Miss Rose—! Your new card looks so fake!"

And this is only the beginning.

The chain reopened.

"Activate the effect of [Izayoi Rose Dragon]." Qi Mengsi's voice was cold. "Add [Black Rose Garden] from the deck to your hand."

"【Black Rose Garden】? Another new card?" Moon frowned sharply.

The black rose thorns on the card, like whips, sent a chill down her spine. Could it be...?
She was starting to panic.

Let's have a duel! Why does this crazy woman keep thinking about wielding a whip?
"Activate the Continuous Spell, [Black Rose Garden]," Qi Mengsi said coldly. "Add [White Rose Dragon] from the deck to your hand."

"Next, activate the effect of the card [White Rose Dragon] in your hand, and Special Summon this card."

A pure white light flashed, and a rose dragon with snow-white scales and a holy halo around its body quietly appeared beside the [Night Rose Black Knight].

One is black, the other is white; one represents the end of decay, the other symbolizes the new life of purity.

"I will use the level 3 [Night Rose Black Knight] and the level 4 [White Rose Dragon]—"

Qi Mengsi pondered, her voice carrying the chilling air of announcing the end.

"Adjust the stars!"

The black knight and the white dragon roared to the sky at the same time, transforming into three jet-black star rings and four pure white pillars of light.

"The prelude to destruction has begun!"

"In the ruins of the end, witness the withering of all things!"

"Boom—" A dazzling beam of light burst open behind Qi Mengsi, and Yue Liang, Li Guanqi and the others held their breath.

"Synchronic Summon!"

A burst of light erupted, and an indescribable, terrifying pressure descended, causing the entire steel arena to tremble and groan violently!
"Bloom—Level 7! [Black Rose of Destruction Dragon]!"

"Roar—!" A dragon's roar accompanied by the blooming of jet-black roses in the void.

That's not a dragon.

That was a disaster.

Endless black rose petals, with edges as sharp as knives, surged out from the torn portal of spacetime, converging into the form of a ferocious dragon. It had no physical form, but was composed of pure destructive will and the law of decay.

"What... what kind of monster is this...?"

On the arena, the face beneath the moon mask was completely drained of color.

Her fingertips trembled violently as she gripped the cards in her hand. Those five perfect cards, enough to turn any disadvantage into an advantage, now felt so heavy that she could barely hold them.

The red area is below the stage.

"What a beautiful dragon!" Li Guanqi exclaimed.

“It has the aura of the Black Rose Dragon!” Immy X examined it, a smile playing on her lips.

The Pope and others looked grim; the appearance of new cards was affecting more than just this match.

They can certainly accept losing this game, but the problem is they don't know if the opponent has any new cards, and who will deal with the next one?
We can only hope that the moon can probe the opponent's hand as much as possible.

On the arena, Qi Mengsi slowly raised her eyes, her cold gaze piercing through the raging storm of black petals. She slowly raised her hand: "Activate the material effect of [White Rose Dragon], send [Purple Orchid Witch] from the deck to the graveyard."

"At this instant, activate the Grave Deliverance effect of [Violet Orchid Witch]!"

"Discard the card 'Fragrance of Cold Rose' from your hand and Special Summon 'Natural Camellia' from your Deck!"

On the arena, a pink camellia quietly bloomed, its petals layered upon each other, delicate and dewy, forming a strange and twisted beauty with the [Black Rose Annihilation Dragon] formed by the will to destroy.

"Activate the effect of [Natural Camellia] to send [Natural Star Tree] from the Deck to the Graveyard."

Qi Mengsi's voice was completely flat.

"【Nature God Star Tree】has been sent to the graveyard, its effect is activated."

"Add one [Nature] card from your deck to your hand."

Qi Mengsi paused for a moment, her fingertip hovering over the deck list.

This brief pause, lasting less than a second, sent chills down Yue Liang's spine, making her hair stand on end and sending a cold sensation straight up to the top of her head.

What is she looking for?
[Nature]... This field, this damn field!
The moon's pupils contracted sharply as a series of chilling names flashed through her mind.

not……

"I will—" Qi Mengsi slowly drew a card from her deck and showed it to her opponent.

"【Natural Bamboo Shoots】, add to hand".

"Natural...bamboo shoots?" The moon looked at the harmless little bamboo shoots and took a deep breath.

"By the way," Qi Mengsi smiled faintly, "I haven't done a normal summon this turn."

Within the red area, the Pope's confidants looked ashen-faced.

From one-on-one battles to now a scene teeming with powerful beings, and yet... there's still no Normal Summon?!
On the stage, Qi Mengsi had already made her next move.

“I will offer the natural camellia on the field as a sacrifice.”

The newly blossoming pink camellia instantly transformed into specks of green light and vanished into the air.

"Summoned by superiors!"

Qi Mengsi slammed the card in her hand onto the duel disk!
"Come out!"

"[Natural Bamboo Shoots]!"

The ground shook violently, and green light burst forth from the soil. A small, emerald-green bamboo shoot with two adorable leaves emerged from the hard alloy arena, swaying from side to side as if greeting the crowd.

However, this seemingly harmless and even somewhat cute monster caused the moon to feel as if it had fallen into an ice cave, its entire body chilled to the bone.

The continuous effect of 【Natural Bamboo Shoots】 can be summed up in one sentence: the opponent cannot activate Spell or Trap Cards.

The Harpy's Feather Broom, Water Dance, and Forbidden Drop in her hands became utter waste paper.

But don't worry, thankfully there's the [Lava Demon God].

Could she possibly become a "little cactus recluse" again?!
"【Embrace Fragrance】 can search for 【Little Cactus Locker】, and then Synchro Summon a Seven Star 【Fairy Ring】 to increase Normal Summoning," Immy X analyzed. "Is it locked up?"

"What are you talking about?" Chu Linfeng interrupted, "Didn't she throw away [Embrace Fragrance] as a cost? There's no more."

“Oh right.” Immy X was confused.

"Still under lockdown? I feel like there's no next round," Li Guanqi said casually.

The Papal Council, Immy X, and Chu Linfeng all cast questioning glances at him. Immy X asked, "What do you mean by 'no next round'?"

"How many plant-type monsters are there on the other side, no, in our graveyard?" Li Guanqi asked rhetorically. "The [Destroyer Dragon] is about to explode."

Chu Linfeng narrowed his eyes: "Do you know the effect?"

In fact, Luli's feedback did mention the new card, but the details of its effect were not available.

Li Guanqi spread his hands: "See for yourself, it's coming."

Qi Mengsi glanced at her graveyard, then pointed at the monster on the field: "Release [Black Rose Destroyer Dragon], activate its effect!"

Special Summon 1 "Black Rose Dragon" from your Extra Deck as a Synchro Summon.

"Black flowers, bloom!"

boom!
The portal to time and space tore open again where the Black Rose Annihilation Dragon had vanished, and endless rose petals surged out from it, each one shimmering with an ominous dark red light.

At the center of the light, the destructive dragon, representing the clearing of the field, roared and descended.

Black Rose Dragon!
"Activate the effect of [Black Rose Dragon]!" Qi Mengsi's voice boomed like thunder in everyone's ears.

"Destroy all cards on the field!"

A violent burst of energy erupted from the center of the [Black Rose Dragon], forming a visible black shockwave that swept across the entire arena!

"What?!" Moon was stunned at first, then the corners of her mouth under the mask couldn't help but turn up.

"Are you crazy! I don't have any cards on the field, you're just destroying your own stuff!"

However, Qi Mengsi just looked at her quietly, as if she were looking at a clown.

"With the presence of [Black Rose Garden], all monsters on the field are considered to be of the Plant race."

"At the same time, with [Thorn Witch] on the field, our Plant-type monsters will not be destroyed by effects."

The Thorn Witch lightly touched the ground with her bare feet, and countless crimson vines rose up, forming a huge thorn cage that protected the Divine Bow, the Rose Dragon of Izayoi, the Natural Bamboo Shoots, and even the Black Rose Dragon herself.

A black storm of destruction swept through, but the barrier made of vines remained unmoved.

"But!" The hope in the moon's eyes did not die out; instead, it shone even brighter. She pointed at the Continuous Spell Card, her voice tinged with sarcasm, "Your [Black Rose Garden] will be destroyed! It's not a monster!"

“Yes.” Qi Mengsi nodded, her nonchalant expression making Yue Liang’s heart sink.

"The Garden of Black Roses will be destroyed."

She slowly raised a cold smile, a smile devoid of warmth, containing only pure, condescending pity.

The moon made me feel cold all over.

"boom--!"

At the eye of the destructive storm, the Continuous Magic Card depicting the beautiful garden shattered, turning into countless points of light.

The moon stared intently at the scene, glancing warily around as if guarding against a ghost.

"What's going on..." She couldn't understand these inexplicable actions.

After going through all that trouble to create the Divine Bow and the Natural Bamboo Shoots for protection, was it all for this one blunder?
Qi Mengsi's gaze passed over the shattered light and shadow and landed on her. She gently raised her hand and waved it toward the cemetery.

"The effect of [Black Rose Garden]".

"If this card is destroyed, inflict damage to your opponent equal to 100 for each Plant-Type monster in your Graveyard that is banished!"

"I see." The moon's pupils contracted, and it chuckled, "So all that plant-type monsters were there for this moment!"

"Hmph, but no matter how hard you try to stack them, you can't possibly have 37!"

“That won’t be necessary—” Qi Mengsi suddenly smiled, very charmingly, “The situation where the Black Rose Garden was destroyed by the Black Rose Dragon.”

"Deal an additional 2400 points of damage to the opponent!"

"What did you say?!" The moon could no longer hold back and her eyes widened.

She, along with the spectators from both the red and blue teams, and everyone else, slowly turned to look at Qimengsi's graveyard. 3700 base points, minus 2400 additional damage; to secure a kill, the graveyard would need at least [number missing].
Qi Mengsi slowly began to speak: "My grave has—"

"3 copies of [Evil Thorn]".

"2 [Lone Spark] cards."

"Also available are [Spore], [Natural Camellia], [Dandelion Lion], [Purple Orchid Witch], [Night Rose Black Knight], [Garden Rose Maiden], [Fragrant Seraph - Jasmine], and [Black Rose Ruin Dragon]."

"The total is—"

"13 pictures."

Goodbye. (Sayonara)
