Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: Duelists Beyond Light

"Tsk...that's disgusting..."

Shirley LeBlanc frowned.

Her battle phase is over.

Although, judging from the current situation, the opponent's attack power is not enough to surpass that of the Witch of the Flower of Time.

The problem is that by the next round, both sides' SPC will have accumulated to ten points.

If the opponent removes ten points of SPC, they can directly destroy the Witch of the Flower of Time, and then defeat themselves through a direct attack!
Shirley Leblanc rapidly considered all the possibilities.

The effect of the Flower Witch has not yet been activated this turn.

If activated, it might be possible to steal a monster from the opponent's graveyard and bring it to your field for Synchro Summoning. Even if the opponent's Natural Rock Turtle effect is negated, at least some resources will be sacrificed.

But the problem is...

That Continuous Spell Card – Summoning Restriction Power Filter.

That card will block the Special Summoning of all monsters with an ATK of 1000 or less.

The opponent, Haruka Tenjinki, only has two low-level Nature-type monsters in her graveyard, both with pitifully low attack power.

Therefore, it seems that the Witch of the Flower of Time will definitely be unable to activate her effect...

Shirley Leblanc turned her attention to her hand and analyzed the situation as best she could, despite being at a complete disadvantage.

This natural combo may seem impenetrable on the surface, but it's not entirely without its weaknesses!
To negate the effect of a Trap Card, Natural Wood Scale Dragon needs to banish two cards from the graveyard each time, but now, the opponent only has three cards in their graveyard.

In other words, the opponent, with the Flower Knight's ability, can negate the activation of a trap card a maximum of two times.

With her opponent's spell and monster zones almost full, it's difficult for her to continue filling the graveyard. From a tactical perspective, the deck of this last duelist, Haruka Tenjinki, should consist mostly of spell cards.

Because in high-speed duels, the most frequent effects are monster effects. To completely lock down a monster, you need to use the effect of Natural Rock Turtle. And each time you activate this monster's ability, you have to discard one of your spell cards.

“There are no empty spaces in the magic trap area…” Shirley Leblanc analyzed calmly, “so the probability of her actively creating graves will be greatly reduced…”

"Therefore, as long as we refrain from activating spell cards for the time being, we can try to break through using trap cards!!"

"A trap card... that's the only chance to turn the tide!!"

"Tsk..."

"Although I don't want to, victory still rests in the hands of that guy You Qing..."

"Before that, let me destroy the monster that was stolen from me!!!"

“Swish————————————————”

With that thought in mind, Shirley Leblanc let out a loud shout and launched her final counterattack:

"Attack signal summons—Flower of Death!!!"

The Flower of Death

【one star】

[Dark Attribute/Plant Family]

[Attack/Defense: 0/0]

"Next, activate the effect of the Sage of Flowers from your hand!!" Sherry Leblanc shouted, swinging the card. "You can target 1 monster on your field and 1 monster on your opponent's field to activate this effect!!"

Special Summon this card from your hand!

"The target card is destroyed!!"

"My choice is—my own 'Death Flower' on the field and your 'Flower Knight' on the field!!!"

The Sage of Seasonal Flowers?!

Haruka Tenjin's eyes flickered.

This is a monster's effect ability, which she can counter by activating the effect of Natural Rock Turtle. However, she only has one Spell Card in hand right now, so if she counters the effect of Sage of the Flower of Time, she won't be able to counter the ability of Death Flower.

They had already done their research.

The effect of the Flower of Death is that it can be activated when this card is destroyed by card effect and sent to the Graveyard, allowing you to Special Summon one Flower Witch from your Deck.

Right now, the attack power of the monsters on her field is not enough to surpass that of the Flower Witch. Even if she removes 10 SPC next turn, she can only destroy one card.

If Shirley Leblanc summons two Flower Witches, the battle will be prolonged...

Instead of forcibly keeping that monster, it's better to leave a monster area empty to prepare for summoning a more powerful monster later.

"Bang bang ————————————————"

Cards shattered, flowers scattered!

Shirley LeBlanc finally reclaimed her ace, albeit through destruction!
"Since the Flower of Death was destroyed by a card effect and sent to the Graveyard," Sherry Leblanc exclaimed, "Special Summon a Flower Witch from my Deck!!"

"Activate the effect of Natural Rock Turtle!!" Haruka Tenjin immediately countered, "Send a Spell Card from your hand to the Graveyard to negate and destroy the effect of Death Flower!!!"

“Bang——————————————————————”

Shirley LeBlanc's moves were completely suppressed.

However, Haruka Tenjin only has four cards in her graveyard. As long as she doesn't activate a Spell Card first, she can still counter the activation of two Trap Cards.

In the next round, if FFC's second player sets up as many cards as possible, they will have a chance to break through this defense during the opponent's turn!
Decade's deck leans towards heavy traps, and although he lacks dueling experience, it might be a key breakthrough point!

Shirley LeBlanc gently closed her eyes.

Her turn has ended.

“Beep beep————————————”

[Shirley LeBlanc, SPC: 9→10]

【Haruka Tenjinki, SPC: 9→10】

"Things have changed!!" the commentator exclaimed. "Just now, the situation was quite tense!!"

"But now, the situation has changed!!"

"Both sides have reached ten points in SPC this round!!"

"In other words, Team Nature can activate the effects of High Speed ​​World to shatter the monster that's acting as a barrier!!"

"From this moment on, the scales of the duel will tip!!!"

"However, Shirley LeBlanc has two monsters on the field. How will Haruka Tenjinki choose?!"

As Haruka Tenjin drew a card from her deck, the audience erupted in cheers and celebrations.

However, her eyes were very cold, as if she couldn't feel the enthusiasm of her supporters at all.

"I……"

"I don't want to be just a pretty face anymore..."

Haruka Tenjin's gaze was unwavering.

They were once a hugely popular idol group overseas, but during their time as idols, they experienced a lot of unfair treatment and felt a lot of strange looks!

To escape those gazes, they embarked on the path to becoming duelists!
These three girls fought their way here entirely on their own...

It's not for those people's idolization of their looks or their filthy fantasies!
What they want is the same dignity as duelists!

"My turn!!"

"Draw a card!!!" (End of this chapter)
