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

“Swish, swish, swish——————”

"BOOM!!!!!!"

The combined attack of the three X-Swordsmen exploded on the Flower Witch, the explosive sword light flashed, and countless petals drifted down, being rolled into fragrant mud in the heavy rain.

A barrage of attacks rained down on Shirley Leblanc, and after three strikes, her LP plummeted.

“Beep beep beep————————”

[Shirley Leblanc, LP: 3800 → 2550]

"A very effective attack!!" the commentator exclaimed. "Fugeia's counterattack was incredibly swift, not only significantly weakening the Witch of the Flower of Time's combat power but also successfully inflicting damage on Sherry Leblanc!!"

"But... what if Sherry Leblanc changes the Flower Witch to Defense Position?!"

"The X-Swordsman series doesn't seem to have any cards with defensive penetration abilities!!"

"Oh!! The Virginia player set up a cover card to end the round, seemingly setting up an attack later!!"

"Let's see how Shirley LeBron does it!!!"

“Beep beep————————”

[Shirley LeBlanc, SPC: 5→6]

[Virginia Ankoshid, SPC: 4→5]

"I copied the Witch of the Flower with Z-ONE, not just for offense!!" Sherry Leblanc shouted, drawing a card. "My turn! Draw!!"

"Change the Flower Witch to Defense Position!!"

"Activate its effect! Special Summon XX-Swordsman Galsem from your Graveyard to my field!!"

"Let us once again become servants of flowers!!!"

【XX-Swordsman Garsem】

【Four stars】

[Earth Attribute/Beast Tribe]

[Attack/Defense: 1400/400]

Seeing his Heart Card stolen once again, Virginia's anger intensified, but his usual composure prevented him from acting impulsively. Instead, he held the card in his hand, ready to deliver a devastating blow to Sherry Leblanc!

"Next, I activate the High Speed ​​Spell Card—SP: Illusionary Wind!!" Sherry Leblanc continued, "If my SPC is greater than 2, I can Special Summon 1 Level 2 or lower monster from my Graveyard, and the effects of the monster summoned by this effect are negated!!"

"Rise again!! Leaping Lop-Eared Rabbit Flying Team!!!"

"Next, Normal Summon from your hand—Paladin Jeanne d'Arc!!"

"Use the Level 2 Tuner monster, Soaring Lop-eared Rabbit Team, the Level 4 Paladin Jeanne d'Arc, and the Level 4 XX-Swordsman Garsem as materials!!"

"Synchronous Summon!!"

"Flower Baroness!!!"

This time, Shirley LeBron changed her playing style.

The monsters resurrected by the Witch of Timeless Flowers no longer focus on offense, but are instead used as Synchro Material to summon even more powerful monsters!
The Flower Baroness!! We've already witnessed how terrifying this card is!
If this monster were to appear, even without any special effects, its 3000 attack power alone would be enough to destroy Virginia!

"Heh... three monsters..." Fury sneered, "Trying to use my card to Synchro Summon your sinful monster?"

"I absolutely will not allow it!!"

"Trap Card activated - High-Speed ​​Chant!!!"

“Pa————————————————”

With a roar, Virginia flipped his card face down instantly. At the same time, a spell card in his hand was sent to the graveyard. The trap card emitted a bright light and transformed into the same effect as the spell card!
"The effect of High Speed ​​Chant is that you can only activate it by discarding one Normal Spell Card from your hand at the cost of being unable to activate Spell Cards during your next turn!!"

"Make this card's effect the same as that spell card's effect!!"

"The magic card I sent to the graveyard is—Sword Slash!!!"

"Destroy all face-up cards on the field based on the number of X-Swordsman monsters you control!!"

"I have three X-Swordsmen on my field. In return, I can destroy all three of your monsters except for the Flower Witch!!!"

The Witch of Time Flower cackled, her withered hands gesturing wildly in the air. Countless crimson vines crawled out from the black magic circle, piecing together the remains of XX-Swordsman Garsem once more!

Rotten petals wrapped around its shattered armor, twisting and reforming in a vortex of magic. At the same time, two other monsters beside the witch were also bound by scarlet chains, trembling in sync with Garsem's phantom!

Just as the Synchro Summon was about to be completed, the air suddenly plummeted to freezing point, and icy blue runes rained down from the void, forming a massive array on the ground. The runes released a chilling aura as they swirled!
X-Swordsman Urd's chain sword burst forth with silvery-white light, XX-Swordsman Pogart Knight's lance was wrapped in lightning, and XX-Swordsman Gardstrike's greatsword shimmered with an overwhelming blue light!
The three swordsmen roared in unison, their figures transforming into streaks of light that merged into the center of the formation! In an instant, a storm of sword energy, blotting out the sky, tore through the battlefield. Countless sword energies, condensed from magical power and carrying icy chill and lightning, swept towards the group of three enemies beside the Witch of Time Flower!

XX - Swordsman Galsem's newly recovered body was shredded by the sword energy, and the flying chunks of flesh were frozen into ice crystals in mid-air; the other two monsters were equally unable to resist and were also cut to pieces by the swift sword technique!

The Synchro Light that had just appeared vanished, leaving Sherry Leblanc, the Witch of Timeless Flowers, with no cards left in her hand and only one card remaining on the field, forcing her to end her turn.

“Tsk…you bastard…” Shirley Leblanc’s eyes were icy.

A new turn begins, and Virginia's SPC has reached six, but the side effect of High Speed ​​Casting prevents him from using any Spell Cards this turn. Therefore, after drawing and setting a card, Virginia's turn ends.

“Beep beep beep——————————”

[Shirley LeBlanc, SPC: 6→7→8]

[Virginia Ankoshid, SPC: 5→6→7]

"As the duel has progressed this far, my card resources are almost exhausted..." Sherry Leblanc revealed the card she had just drawn, "But I anticipated this situation, and to complement the powerful effect of Z-ONE's indestructibility, I prepared this card!!"

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

"Activate the High-Speed ​​Spell Card—SP: High-Speed ​​Storm!!!"

"This can only be activated when SPC is greater than 3, dealing 1000 LP damage to the opponent!!!"

"During your Standby Phase, if this card is in your Graveyard, you can remove 3 SPCs and return this card to your hand!!"

"Just bear this pain for now!!!"

"Then, using the effect of the Witch of the Time Flower, revive XX-Swordsman Garsem!!!"

"Enter the battle phase!!"

"XX-Swordsman Garthum attacks X-Swordsman Urd!!!" (End of Chapter)
