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

Chapter 397 Speed ​​396 The Flower Baroness! Shirley Leblanc's ultimate trump card!
"XX-Swordsman Fulham Knight!!" Dolan shouted, "Sage of the Seasons!!"

“Shua la la la la————————————”

The long, whip-like soft sword swept out once more, blasting towards the defenseless Sage of the Flowering Season!

"BOOM!!!!!!"

The sage in the dark purple robe vanished as a withered rose, but from among the disappearing petals, a new flower slowly grew.

"The effect of the Sage of the Seasons!!" Sherry Rubin exclaimed, "If this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, you can target 1 monster in your Graveyard other than this card to activate this effect!!"

"That monster is back in the deck!!"

"After that, add a Level 1 Plant-Type monster from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand!!"

"Return Flower Knight to the Extra Deck, and add Death Flower from the Graveyard to your hand!!!"

Dolan ignored it and continued his attack: "XX-Swordsman Fortroll!! Attack the Radiant Centaur!!"

“Swish————————————”

"boom!!!!!!!!"

With a swift strike, the powerful monster that had persisted since the start of the duel was finally defeated and sent to the graveyard.

"Weapon Gloves effect activated!!" Dolan shouted, "When the equipped monster destroys an opponent's monster in battle, inflict damage equal to the destroyed monster's original ATK!!"

Sherry Leblanc flipped up her face-down card and said, "I know! Trap Card activated—Fragments of Flowers! When a monster on my field is destroyed by battle, and my opponent activates an ability that inflicts effect damage, reduce that effect damage to zero and draw one card from my Deck!!"

"Tsk! Set a card face down!!" Dolan's eyes turned cold. "End turn!!"

“Beep beep————————————”

[Shirley LeBlanc, SPC: 5→6]

Dolan Articar, SPC: 5→6

"My turn, draw a card!" Shirley Leblanc's eyes were icy; she knew what was about to happen.

"Trap Card activated—Knock Down!!" Dolan flipped back the card that had failed to activate last turn and was placed face-down on the field. "Send the card you drew to the graveyard!!!"

Shirley Leblanc sneered, "Whatever."

"Activate High-Speed ​​Spell Card—SP Angel Scepter!!"

"When SPC is greater than 2, draw two cards from your deck and discard one!!"

"Defense Command Summoning - Flower of Death!!"

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

"If your SPC is greater than 2, destroy one monster you control!!"

"I choose—the Flower of Death!!"

"When the Flower of Death is destroyed by a card effect, you can Special Summon - Witch of Time Flower from your Deck!!"

The Witch of Seasonal Flowers

【Eight Stars】

[Dark Attribute/Magician Clan]

[Attack/Defense: 2900/0]

"Next, discard 6 SPCs and activate the High Speed ​​Spell Card—Downgrade!!" Sherry Leblanc discards her SPCs to build up her hand, "Draw two cards from your deck!!"

“Beep beep beep————————”

[Shirley LeBlanc, SPC: 6→0]

"But I have zero monsters in my graveyard!!" Dolan had already thoroughly investigated Sherry Leblanc's deck. "The effect of Sage of the Seasons is to Special Summon one monster from your opponent's graveyard once per turn, but in this situation, you can't activate that effect at all!!"

Sherry Leblanc said coldly, "I don't care about that kind of thing. Activate the effect of Paladin's Shieldbearer on the field, banish this card from the field, and add one Level 6 or lower Beast-WIND monster from your Deck to your hand!!"

"I choose—the Leaping Lop-Eared Rabbit Flying Team!!"

"Enter the battle phase!!"

"The Witch of Seasonal Flowers!!"

"Attack XX-Swordsman Fulham Knight!!!" "Activate the effect of XX-Swordsman Fulham Knight!!" Doran exclaimed, "As long as this card is face-up on the field, only once, when an opponent's monster declares an attack, target that monster and negate that attack!!"

Several rose petals were shattered by the lightning whipped out by the long whip.

Shirley LeBlanc knew exactly what Dolan would do: "Set a card face down, end your turn!!"

XX-Swordsman Fulham Knight can negate one of the opponent's attacks each time it is on the field. As a Tuner Monster, it can easily send itself to the Graveyard as material, and then Doran can revive it with XX-Swordsman Fortroll, refreshing the ability to negate attacks, thus forming a slow loop combo.

Judging from the situation, Dolan still had the upper hand, and his 3400 attack power was still enough to dominate the battlefield, but his expression was somewhat solemn.

Since Shirley Leblanc had never used these two cards before, Dolan had no idea of ​​their effects. With his keen mind, he knew there must be a trick involved, but he didn't know where the trick lay.

“Beep beep——————————————”

[Shirley LeBlanc, SPC: 0→1]

Dolan Articar, SPC: 6→7

"My turn! Draw a card!!" Dolan glanced at the cards in his hand and announced loudly, "A trap set? Then I'll sweep it away!!"

"Defense Position Summoning—XX-Swordsman: Dark Soul!!"

"Synchronize the Level 3 Tuner monster, XX-Swordsman Fulem Knight, and the Level 3 XX-Swordsman Dark Soul!!"

"Use the trajectory of lightning to pierce the veil of fate!!"

"Let the blade of judgment dance in the chaos!!"

"Synchronous Summon!!"

"Show yourself, Level 6!!"

"XX-Swordsman - Lightning!!!"

In the dazzling light of synchronization, XX-Swordsman Swift Lightning suddenly appeared, his longsword crackling with tiny arcs of electricity, scorching the surrounding air and filling it with a pungent, burnt smell!

The moment she appeared, XX-Swordsman Swift Lightning vanished like a ghost! The next second, she was already in the center of the enemy's field, her left-hand longsword drawing a silver arc, and where the tip of the sword pointed, two dark blue lightning bolts crashed down from the sky!

“Boom——————————————”

With a deafening roar, Shirley Lubrán's Gaka on the field was instantly engulfed by lightning. The explosion shook the earth, leaving only charred marks in the rising smoke. Swiftly sheathed her sword, the remaining lightning behind her abruptly dissipating, leaving only lingering lightning crackling on the blade!

【XX-Swordsman·Thunder】

【Six Star】

【Earth Attribute/Warrior Clan】

[Attack/Defense: 2300/1300]

"The effect of XX-Swordsman Thunder!!" Doran shouted, "When this card is successfully Synchro Summoned, destroy up to three Spell/Trap Cards on the field!!"

"Chain activation of the Trap Card - Battle Frenzy!!" Sherry Leblanc shouted, "Change all of your opponent's monsters to Attack Position, and monsters that can attack this turn must attack!!"

Dolan's heart sank, but he quickly launched his attack:
"But you don't have any face cards left on the field!!"

"Furthermore, your monster's attack power is simply insufficient to withstand the attack of XX-Swordsman Fordroll!!"

"Enter the battle phase!!"

"XX-Swordsman Fortroll! Attack the Witch of Time Flowers!!!"

"Due to the effect of the weapon glove, when the equipped monster destroys a monster in battle and sends it to the graveyard, it inflicts damage to the opponent equal to the destroyed monster's original ATK value!!!!"

This was Dolan's decisive blow!

But the next second, countless gorgeous petals transformed into a tornado and swirled into the sky amidst the heavy rain. Shirley Leblanc revealed the card in her hand and sneered, "What, suddenly in such a hurry?!"

"Let's take a look at the monsters on my field first!!"

"Before you enter the Battle Phase, I've already activated the effect of Leaping Lop-Eared Rabbit Squadron from my hand!!"

"During your opponent's Main Phase, target 1 monster you control and Special Summon this card!!"

"Synch Summon this card and that monster!!"

"Make your entrance, Baroness of Flowers!!!"
