Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: The Path of Evolution

Chapter 140 The Terrifying Black Rose

[Kanpaku LP: 4000]

【Izayoi Aki LP: 4000】

"I'll make the first move."

Kanpaku successfully gained the first strike advantage.

He himself was somewhat surprised that he was able to take the initiative so easily.

Based on his impression, duelists of Izayoi Aki's caliber should have a much greater ability to take the initiative than he did.

However, Aki Izayoi did not react at all to Kanpaku taking away the first strike opportunity.

She seemed to have no intention of getting ahead of everyone else.

Is he planning to use a wave of Flower Dragons to sweep the board as a counter-attack?

It seems that Aki Izayoi believes that the entire duel ahead is under her control.

Since that's the case, then Guan Bai should at least teach her what it means to "not underestimate your opponent in a duel"!

"My turn, draw a card."

Guan Bai drew a card and smoothly began to operate.

"Normal Summon, Great Sun Haputo."

The warm light spread out, merging with the sunlight falling from the sky, outlining the golden mechanical fists.

A mechanical angel, enveloped in a gentle warmth, floated in the air, calmly surveying everything around it.

"Then activate the equipment magic, Great Sun Material."

[Four-star] 1800/800→2400/800

"Set one card face down, end turn."

A simple and unpretentious start, but as solid as ever.

With Haptor at 2400 in the frontcourt and a mysterious Gaika in the backcourt, he could give the opponent an unexpected surprise!

"Easily raising the monster's attack power to 2400, the Kanpaku's start is as oppressive as ever!"

The host leaned out halfway to give his explanation.

"The layout is complete from front to back, without a single flaw to be found!"

"How will Izayoi cope with this situation?"

The round of Izayoi Aki.

She paid no attention to the surrounding noise, only whispering in Guan Bai's direction.

"Let me show you just how dangerous a duel of wills really is—"

"My turn, draw a card!"

"Activate a quick-play spell, ending the hand. Both players discard two cards from their hands and draw two cards from their decks."

Both sides decisively discarded two and drew two.

Izayoi drew a card and, without even looking at it, slapped one onto the Duel Disk.

"Normal Summon: Black Rose Witch".

A rose-colored light with a cold gleam cleaved through the air, revealing a petite witch holding a turquoise staff.

It leaped onto the field, swung its staff with an air of authority, and stared intently at the Regent's Haputo Daihi.

"When this card is summoned, if there are no other cards on my field, I can activate this effect: I can draw one card from my deck and reveal it to my opponent."

"If the card you draw is not a monster, send the drawn card to the Graveyard and destroy this card."

Izayoi Aki drew a card and showed it to Kanpaku. Then she threw it onto the duel disk.

"The card I drew is the monster card Rose Fairy."

Because a monster card was drawn, the Black Rose Witch will not be destroyed.

Her sudden movement stunned Guan Bai.

It's one thing to draw a monster card, but what you draw is a monster that can be Special Summoned to replenish points!

At this moment, Guan Bai only had one question to ask.

Did you shuffle the cards?

Keep in mind that if the Black Rose Witch doesn't draw a monster card, she'll self-destruct, causing Izayoi Aki to lose two cards!

She was just taking advantage of her incredible luck with the draw and started betting right from the beginning.

And she actually succeeded!

Is this the kind of divine power that the main characters possess?

While Kanpaku was internally complaining, Izayoi continued to calculate the effects of her cards.

"If the card Rose Fairy is added to your hand by the effect of a monster, spell, or trap card, it can be Special Summoned."

"Make your appearance, Rose Fairy."

The solid ground of the dueling arena twisted and became as soft as soil, with green roots breaking through the soil and intertwining to form a huge flower.

The bright red roses bloomed, and beautiful flower fairies flew out from the heart of the flower, twirling around Izayoi's fingers.

"What a brilliant combo!! Izayoi has already assembled two monsters right from the start!"

The host's voice still carried the lingering panic from yesterday.

But the thought of the duel reaching its climax caused the fear in his voice to fade, replaced by pure excitement.

"3+4=7! Is it coming?! Izayoi Aki's ace, the Black Rose Dragon symbolizing destruction?!"

The host didn't even need to say anything.

Kanpaku could already sense a terrifying tremor emanating from Izayoi Aki's Extra Deck.

It was as if some uncontrollable, crazy force was about to explode and be released!

The fire in Aki Izayoi's eyes intensified, revealing a strange sense of terror.

It seems she has truly become the witch in the story, taking pleasure in destruction and invasion!

Her cold voice rang out.

"I'll use a level three Rose Fairy, combined with a level four Black Rose Witch to manipulate the stars!"

"The icy flames will engulf everything in the world; black flowers, bloom!"

"Summon Synchro, appear, Black Rose Dragon!!"

Countless dark vines burst forth from the earth like a raging swarm of snakes, intertwining and coiling in the gale, quickly outlining the magnificent form of a giant dragon.

The icy flames erupted with a sharp dragon's roar, unleashing a storm that swept across the entire area!

[Seven Stars] 2400/1800

"Activate the effect of Black Rose Dragon. When Special Summoned, destroy all cards on the field!" (Animation effect)

"The Black Rose's Deception!!"

Terrifying, absolutely terrifying!

The sweep effect of Black Rose Dragon at level 0 was already strong enough in the 5DS era, let alone the original anime version which was not weakened at all?

In the anime, the activation condition for Black Rose Dragon's effect is not "Synchro Summon", but "Special Summon"!

Whether it's from the Extra Deck, Graveyard, or Banished, as long as it's Special Summoned, it can wipe out the entire field—it's just too overpowered.

The.

It looks like the animation team printed the card with their butts!

Damn, I was so scared I cried!

The rose-colored dragon spread its wings and transformed into a blooming rose.

Millions of sharp petals burst forth from its body, spreading in all directions accompanied by a devastating gale!

The terrifying impact spread outwards, threatening to destroy everything in the Guanbai field!

The immense pressure was imminent.

Kanpaku could wait no longer and pressed the Duel Disk to flip over the face-down card.

"Chain this effect, I activate the quick-attack magic, the Forbidden Cloth!"

"Target one face-up monster on the field; it loses 600 ATK until the end of this turn and cannot be destroyed by monster effects!"

The holy feather robe gently wrapped around the body of Haputo Daishin, transforming into a gentle shield.

The terrifying aura of the Black Rose Dragon spread out, crashing against the Saint Cloth like a tsunami, yet it could not be destroyed no matter what it did.

As the storm subsided, Haputo's sun remained perfectly suspended on the field!
