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

Chapter 394 Speed ​​393 Counterattack Against the Blockade! The Flawless XX-Swordsman!

"Radiant Centaur!!" In the pouring rain, the commentator stood on the commentary platform, passionately explaining, completely ignoring the rain splashing from the side and the pattering of the raindrops from the awning above his head. He took it all as applause from the audience. "Shirley LeBron's classic opening!!"

"If nothing unexpected happens, Sherry Leblanc will easily summon the Flower Knight via Synchro Summoning!!"

"However, considering that FFC only has two players, Shirley LeBron has likely prepared a new tactic!!"

"Let's see what she does next!!!"

"Sizzle—sizzle—sizzle—sizzle"

Amidst the dazzling light, a magnificent centaur knight charged out through the rain, exuding an imposing aura!
But this powerful and domineering aura affected not only her opponents, but also Shirley LeBron herself!

The moment this fusion monster appeared, the resulting energy repulsion caused Sherry Leblanc's D-Wheel to tremble slightly. Combined with the slippery ground due to the rain, her D-Wheel even slightly lost control while turning!

“Tsk…” Shirley Leblanc’s eyes sharpened. “Damn rain!!”

"In this situation, the stable heavy-duty D-wheel actually has an advantage over the speed-type D-wheel!"

"There is no way..."

"If something happens to me, You Qing will be fighting alone. We must slow down now..."

"However, the reduced speed will be compensated for with the power of cards!!"

"Activate the effect of Glorious Centaur: This effect can only be activated during Main Phase 1. Special Summon 1 Level 2 or lower monster from your hand or Graveyard!!"

"Come forth, Flower of Death! Defense signal!!"

"Put two cards on the ground, and the turn ends!!"

The Flower of Death

【one star】

[Dark Attribute/Plant Family]

[Attack/Defense: 0/0]

Flower of Death...

Is that the monster that can be Special Summoned as the Flower Witch?!
Sherry Leblanc's turn has ended. Team XXX's number one duelist, Dolan, immediately recognized the effect of the Level 2 monster. Sherry Leblanc had used this card in her previous battle against Team Nature!

If the Flower of Death's effect is destroyed, the incredibly powerful Witch of Time Flower can be Special Summoned!!
"Don't be careless!!" The usually composed Dolan's gaze sharpened, and he launched a steady, mountain-like attack. "My turn! Draw a card!!"

“Beep beep——————————————”

[Shirley LeBlanc, SPC: 0→1]

Dolan Articar, SPC: 0→1

"Attack Position Summon—XX-Swordsman Fulham Knight!!" Doran's deep voice boomed through the rain. "The Flower of Death must be destroyed by an effect to activate its effect, so I choose to defeat it through combat!!"

"Enter the battle phase!!"

"XX-Swordsman Fulham Knight!!"

"Electric Serpent's Sting!!!"

【XX-Swordsman Fulham Knight】

【Samsung】

【Earth Attribute/Warrior Clan】

[Attack/Defense: 1300/1000]

"Swish la la la la——————————"

With a loud shout from Dolan, a nimble swordsman leaped out from the flashing light!
With a flick of his right arm, the chain sword, as long as a snake, flew out, crackling with electric current!
It's more like a whip than a sword!
As the raindrops scattered, a lightning-fast strike slammed into the evil flower of death on the battlefield! But the next second, a blooming rose blossomed, its fragrance wafting through the rain, scattering its petals and shielding the flower of death from the attack!

"Trap Card activated—Flower Shield!!" Sherry Rubin shouted. "When your opponent's monster declares an attack, negate that attack and draw one card from your Deck!!"

Dolan's fighting phase was over, but his mind was working even faster.

Shirley Leblanc summoned the Flower of Death, which means there are two ways to trigger the Flower of Death's power to summon the Witch of Time Flower.

First, you can use trap cards to actively destroy your own monsters. This method is more direct and gives you the initiative to activate it as the second player, allowing you to chain your opponent's attacks flexibly.

But Shirley LeBlanc did not do that, so she most likely chose the second option.

That means destroying the Death Flower with a monster effect or a Spell Card during your turn!

Dolan's eyes seemed to see right through everything.

In the next round, the cards Sherry Leblanc might use to destroy the Flower of Death are the High Speed ​​Spell Card—SP Lightning Staff, SP High Speed ​​Collision, or the Monster Card—Sage of the Seasonal Flower.

The Lightning Staff can only destroy one monster on your field, so there's nothing to worry about.

But if...

A high-speed collision or the arrival of the Sage of the Flower would be troublesome!!

Those two cards can also destroy cards on the opponent's field!

The Sage of the Seasons can even summon herself onto the field!

Dolan is a very cautious duelist. He will not gamble on any possibility and will always deal with things in the safest way.

In order to withstand Shirley Leblanc's next powerful attack, Doran forcibly increased his SPC and changed his hand resources:
"Main Phase Two!!"

"Activate the High-Speed ​​Magic Card—SP Boost!!"

"Increases the number of SPCs by 4, then reduces it to 1 at the end of the round!!"

"Next, activate the High-Speed ​​Magic Card—SP Angel's Scepter!!"

"Draw two cards from your deck and discard one!!"

“Shuashua——————————————”

With the new card in his hand, Dolan's eyes lit up; he had clearly gained a way to counter it: "Set two cards face down, end your turn!!"

“Beep beep beep————————”

[Shirley LeBlanc, SPC: 1→2]

Dolan Articar, SPC: 5→1→2

"Ha, it's my turn, draw a card!!" Sherry Rubin shouted, "Activate the effect of Sage of Flowers from my hand, Special Summon this card to 1 monster you control and 1 monster on the field, and destroy the targeted card!!"

"I choose my Death Flower on the field and your one and only monster!!"

"And through the destruction of the Flower of Death, summon the Witch of Time Flower from the deck!!!"

Water splashed everywhere as Shirley LeBlanc's unstable D-wheels drifted and spun around the corner, a purple glow gathering around her to form a rose that bloomed in the wind!
"You can't do it!!"

"Counter Trap Card activated - XX eliminated!!"

"You can only activate this effect when your opponent activates a monster's effect from their hand!!"

"If that effect is negated, and the opponent has cards in hand, then force the opponent to discard one more card from their hand!!"

Dolan seized the opportunity, flipping over a card in the back row. A sharp sword light swept across, instantly locking down the effect of the Sage of the Seasons. Then, a second sword light followed closely, forming a huge "X" shape with the first. The sound of a card shattering rang out, and one of Sherry Leblanc's cards was instantly destroyed!
