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

“Bang————————————————”

A crimson flower suddenly exploded from the ground, tearing XX-Swordsman Fulham Knight to shreds!

To Dolan's astonishment, the blood-stained petals scattered, and the Baroness of Flowers rode her steed through the fallen blossoms, piercing him with a single, swaying sword in the pouring rain!
"Baroness of Flowers!! Direct Attack!!"

With Shirley LeBlanc's loud shout, Dolan's LP was completely emptied!!

"That's amazing!!" the commentator exclaimed. "Shirley LeBron's new monster is incredibly powerful!!"

"As expected of a Level 10 Synchro Monster, its dominance is comparable to that of Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon!!"

"Due to Dolan's defeat, Team XXX must make an immediate substitution!!"

"We can see that Dolan left his teammates with eight SPC points and a mysterious face-down card!!"

"I wonder if XXX team's number two player—Fulgaria—can avenge his teammates?!"

“Duel!!!!!!!”

[Shirley Leblanc, LP: 3800]

[Virginia Ankoshid, LP: 4000]

"Baroness of Flowers... What a powerful monster!" The calm and collected Virginia drew the card, thinking to himself, "However, that monster's effect has already been used, so it no longer has the ability to counter it."

"In that case..."

"I can deal with that first, but it's best to leave the tactics to Duel King You Qing for last!"

"It's my turn!! Draw a card!!"

“Beep beep——————————————”

[Shirley LeBlanc, SPC: 2→3]

[Virginia Ankoshid, SPC: 8→9]

But the moment Virginia drew her card, the magnificent flower baroness on the battlefield vanished into thin air?!

"Activate the effect of Baroness Flower!!" Sherry Leblanc shouted. "During the preparation phase for both players, this effect can only be activated by targeting one monster of rank 9 or lower in your own Graveyard!!"

"This card returns to its owner's Extra Deck!!"

"Special Summon the target monster!!"

"Rise again!!"

"Radiant Centaur!!!"

【Radiant Centaur】

【Six Star】

[Light Attribute/Beast Warrior Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2200/1600]

Upon witnessing Baroness Flower's abilities, Virginia's eyes widened; he immediately realized the monster's strongest combo!
When Shining Centaur is used as Synchro Material for a WIND Warrior-Type monster, it can destroy one monster on the field. Next turn, Sherry Leblanc will Synchro Summon Flower Baroness using Shining Centaur!

The reappearance of the Flower Baroness will unleash a powerful counter-attack ability, just like XX-Swordsman Fulham Knight!

Negate and destroy the effects of Spell & Trap Monsters, plus destroy one monster and one card on the field...

This level of attack is enough to severely damage the vast majority of formations, and what's most terrifying is that this tactic can be used indefinitely!

This is a slow, infinite loop just like Dolan's!
"Looks like I need to take down this fusion monster first!!" Doran decisively unleashed a card to attack, "Attack Position Summon—XX-Swordsman Galsem!!"

【XX-Swordsman Garsem】

【Four stars】

[Earth Attribute/Beast Tribe]

[Attack/Defense: 1400/400]

"The effect of XX-Swordsman Galsem!!" Fulgaria exclaimed, "This card's ATK increases by 200 for every face-up X-Swordsman monster you control!!"

"Activate the Trap Card again—Body and Sword as One!!"

"This card can only be activated if you control only one face-up monster with 'X-Swordsman' in its name!!" "After activation, this card becomes an Equip Card that increases the monster's ATK by 800!!"

"If your equipped monster destroys an opponent's monster by battle, draw 1 card from your Deck!!"

“Beep beep beep——————————”

[XX-Swordsman Garsem, Attack Power: 1400→1600→2400]

"So it was this card!!" the commentator exclaimed. "Doran left his teammates a card that can greatly boost their combat power!!"

"XX-Swordsman Garsem's attack power has surpassed that of the Radiant Centaur!!"

"It seems Virginia is about to launch an attack!!"

"But Sherry Leblanc, as a steady control-type duelist like Dolan, must have already set up defensive measures!"

Just as the commentator predicted.

Virginia commanded XX-Swordsman Galsem to attack Radiant Centaur, but was blocked by the second Flower Shield. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the invalid attack, Sherry Leblanc also successfully added a card to her hand.

“Tsk…” Virginia realized the disadvantage in the situation. He still had the means to destroy the Radiant Centaur, but the price to pay for that was too high.

Other teams might not have taken the gamble, but Team XXX has been remarkably consistent.

Terrified of the slow, infinite loop, Virginia finally gritted her teeth and unleashed her card: "High-Speed ​​Magic Card Activation—SP Accumulation Rise!!"

"Each discarded card increases SPC by two points!!"

"Now, my SPC has reached 12!!"

"Activate the effect of High Speed ​​World 2, remove 10 SPC, and destroy the Glowing Centaur!!"

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

Draw two cards from your deck, then discard one!

"Since XX-Swordsman Sicroze has been sent to the Graveyard, I can draw one card from my Deck. This effect can only be used once per Duel, and you cannot Summon any monster other than X-Swordsman during the turn it is activated!!"

"Set one card face down, end your turn!!!"

“Boom——————————————”

The Radiant Centaur shattered in the intense light, but Team XXX's investment was enormous.

“Beep beep————————”

[Shirley LeBlanc, SPC: 3→4]

[Virginia Ankoshid, SPC: 2→3]

Shirley LeBlanc has no cards on the field, and even after drawing all her cards, she will only have four cards left in her hand.

But she didn't care at all!

"My turn! Draw!!" Sherry Leblanc swung down a card. "Set one card!! Then activate the High Speed ​​Spell Card—SP: High Speed ​​Collision!!"

"I choose one card on my field and one card on both players' fields to destroy. The card I'm destroying is my face-down card and one of your monsters—XX-Swordsman Galsem!!"

"At the same time, the effect of my destroyed card—Z-ONE—triggered!!"

"When this card on the field is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, select 1 card from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard to activate this effect!!"

"Ban the selected card from the Duel, and this card in your Graveyard becomes the selected card to activate or Summon on the field. This card that appears on the field under this effect is not destroyed!!"

"Copy Z-ONE into the Witch of the Flower Season!!!"

The Witch of Seasonal Flowers

【Eight Stars】

[Dark Attribute/Magician Clan]

[Attack/Defense: 2900/0]

Copy cards?!
It won't be destroyed?!

And she's the Flower Witch who can revive monsters from her opponent's graveyard?!
The card's terrifying power shocked everyone!
Amidst the battlefield, the magical flower that had been conjuring up suddenly bloomed! (End of Chapter)
