Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

"At the same time as Flower Serenade (Card Explosion) is activated, Flower Nocturne (Nullify and Destroy) will also be activated! I nullify you, I nullify mine... Asuka, according to the order of chain reverse processing, the effect of [Forbidden Holy Grail] will be nullified and destroyed! In other words, the destruction effect of [Flower Baroness] will be successfully passed."

"……Well!"

She subconsciously made a reluctant sound, but at this moment, Asuka had already used up all the backup plans she had prepared before.

Now, there is no way she can stop the attack of the Flower Baroness no matter what.

Under the gazes of everyone, the [Forbidden Holy Grail] was negated by the Nocturne of Flowers and split into two under the sword of the [Flower Baroness], decomposing into golden spots of light.

After that, the Snow Fairy was also transformed into ice fragments under the sword energy of Flower Serenade and dissipated into the void space.

The blockade cloud that had been covering Youxing's head for a long time also completely dissipated into nothingness at this moment.

"Next, we enter the battle phase. I will use [Flower Baroness] (Attack Power: 3000) to attack [Queen of the White Night] (Attack Power: 2100)!"

After removing the restriction on magic cards, Youxing did not choose to activate magic cards for a new deployment, but directly waved his hand to enter the battle stage and launched an attack on the remaining [Queen of White Night].

Since [Lord of the White Knights] is a symbol of Manjomu's loyalty to the Society of Light, then [Queen of the White Night] should have the same effect on Asuka.

No matter what, we should first find a way to get rid of this monster.

With this thought in mind, Yusei quickly gave instructions: "...This is the end, take it! Flower Rhapsody! Asuka...wake up from being controlled by Saiou!"

Carrying Youxing's will, the [Flower Baroness] held up her slender sword and rode her white horse towards the [Queen of White Night].

On the other side, the [Queen of White Night], although her attack power is not as good as that of the Flower Baroness, has no intention of giving up easily.

Sensing the impending danger, she suddenly raised her arms and built multiple ice walls directly in front of her body.

These interlaced and overlapping ice walls wrapped her and Asuka deeply.

However, this seemingly solid defense could not stop the Flower Baroness.

The final Rhapsody, played after the Serenade and Nocturne, possessed a power that was far beyond the reach of the previous mild attacks.

Under the gazes of the crowd, the Flower Baroness's sword pierced through multiple ice walls directly, and then went straight through the chest of the [Queen of White Night] without any hindrance, nailing her body to the rising ice wall of [White Night City].

"Well……"

The body of the [Queen of the White Night] was fatally injured. As the ice wall she had built dissipated, Asuka also took damage equal to the difference in attack power between the two monsters and lost 700 health points.

Asuka, who was hurt by the impact, slowly lowered her head under Yusei's gaze, making it impossible to see her specific expression.

(Asuka LP: 2300 → 1600)

Yujo Judai: "The [Queen of the White Night], that monster has been destroyed! In other words, Asuka will return to normal just like Manjome did at that time, right?"

Wanzhang Eyes Lightning: "Ah! I have always believed that Tenjouin has not changed. The reason why she has become like this now is just because she is temporarily controlled by Saiou!"

Tenjouin Fubuki: "Yes, my lovely sister, beneath her seemingly cold heart, there must be a kind heart sleeping..."

Marufuji Sho: "Well... rather than saying she's kind, it would be more appropriate to say she's strong and reliable..."

Jianshan: "No matter what, the Asuka-senpai from before must not be the real her!"

"Asuka, are you awake?"

With the sound of people's discussion echoing in his ears, Yusei, who was also full of expectations, stopped what he was doing and looked towards where Asuka was.

He was looking forward to the return of the original Asuka.

You've been away long enough, it's time to come back, Asuka!

Asuka: “…”

There was only a long silence in response to Youxing's reply.

Everyone did not see the original Asuka return as expected.

The cold and solid atmosphere surrounding Asuka was still the same as before.

Although the representative monster was destroyed, Asuka's body did not show any obvious changes as Manjome had seen before.

"Well, that's not enough, is it? I ambush a card, and the turn ends."

After destroying that iconic monster, Asuka still had no intention of changing back.

Yusei realized this and after putting one of his cards in the backfield, he could only wave his hand to end his turn.

"What's going on? Why didn't Asuka change back?"

"Could it be that Saiou changed his control strategy after the Manjomu was restored to its original state?"

Looking at Asuka's condition, a layer of doubt emerged in everyone's mind.

Something is wrong and it doesn't make sense.

This is not scientific, nor should it be done...

"No... it shouldn't be like this... Logically speaking, Manjyoume, who is highly regarded by Saiou, should be under even stronger control! Since Manjyoume has already woken up, there is no reason for Asuka not to wake up as well..."

"Uh... could it be because [Queen of the White Night] is not the ace monster of Asuka's deck?!" Scratching his head, Yuki Judai seemed to have noticed the blind spot and suddenly spoke out his guess.

599 Return the Pearl to the King

"Hmm? You mean... Asuka hasn't used her full strength yet?" Looking at Yuki Judai who said this beside her, Tenjouin Fubuki showed a curious look.

Although it was a question, Fubuki also agreed with Yuki Judai's idea.

After much thought, this is the only possibility.

After eliminating all doubts, the most unlikely hypothesis will often be the truth of the incident.

In order to fully awaken Asuka and free her from the control she is under, the card representing her pledge of allegiance must be destroyed in the duel.

Since [Queen of the White Night] is not that card, but just an illusion that looks real, then Asuka, who has been forced into a desperate situation, should use all her strength next.

"What's next... will be the real trump card?" After stretching his limbs which were slightly stiff due to the cold, Youxing narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of Asuka.

Regardless, the next big thing is probably coming.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Asuka slowly raised her head, her face was as cold as frost.

After [Queen of the White Night] and [Snow Fairy] were both destroyed by Yousei, as everyone expected, it seemed that she finally stopped hiding her strength and was ready to summon her real ace monster.

"Activate the magic card [Pot of Greed]. According to the effect of this card, I draw two cards from my deck."

After replenishing two cards in her hand, Asuka took out another Magic Card and activated it separately: "Next... I activated the Magic Card [Sacrificial Icicle] from my hand. According to the effect of this card, I can Special Summon an [Icicle Token] (Attack: 0) at the cost of not being able to use one of my Monster Zones."

Just like the previous scene, as Asuka finished her words, two icicles with human faces carved on them emerged out of thin air from under the ice surface generated by [White Night Castle].

When performing an Advanced Summon of a monster, this derivative can be used as two.

"I release the [Icicle Token] to perform a higher level summon!"

Asuka raised her arms high and shouted with determination: "...Come down! [Blue Ice White Night Dragon]!!!"

-

【Blue Ice White Night Dragon】

(Dragon/Water/8 stars/Attack power: 3000/Defense power: 2500/)

effect:

①: When your opponent's Spell or Trap Card that targets this card is activated, that activation is negated and destroyed.

②: When a face-up monster other than this card is selected as an attack target, you can activate this by sending 1 Spell or Trap Card on your field to the Graveyard. The attack target is transferred to this card.

-

Ice flowers were flying all over the sky, and finally gathered together under the guidance of the light.

Along with gusts of violent wind, the white night dragon made of ice spread its magnificent mirror-like wings and appeared in the void in front of Asuka.

Towards Youxing and the Flower Baroness, the Blue Ice White Night Dragon opened its mouth and let out a roar that carried the intimidation of the dragon clan.

"Blue Ice White Night Dragon... is it a monster with 3000 attack points like Flower Baroness?!"

"Is this the true trump card monster possessed by Asuka that surpasses the Queen of the White Night?"

"But if the attack power is 3000, is Asuka summoning this monster with the intention of dying together?"

Looking at Asuka's actions, everyone gave their own guesses.

As Asuka, the person involved, just sneered as she heard these voices echoing in her ears, and then inserted a card into the back field of the duel disk: "I use [Blue Ice White Night Dragon] as the target and activate the equipment magic card - [Sword of Lone Poison]!"

-

【Sword of Lonely Poison】

(Equip Magic Card)

Effect: Only monsters on your field can equip this card.

①: You can only have 1 face-up "Sword of Lonely Poison" on the field.

②: The equipped monster's original ATK and DEF are doubled only when calculating damage in a battle with an opponent's monster. ③: If you have a monster other than the equipped monster on your side of the field, send this card to the Graveyard.

-

As the equipment magic card was activated, a layer of black and purple evil energy waves also covered the surface of the body of [Blue Ice White Night Dragon].

The pair of claws made of ice blades were now replaced by white sword blades, armed with a layer of evil dark armor.

"...For a monster equipped with [Sword of Lonely Poison], its original attack and defense will be doubled only when calculating damage in battle with an opponent's monster."

Pointing to Yusei's location, Asuka slowly raised the corners of her mouth and continued to explain in a rather proud tone: "That is to say, Yusei... the next thing you will face is not a monster with an attack power of 3000, but will be... the [Blue Ice White Night Dragon] with an attack power doubled to 6000!"

Everyone: “What…?!”

Youxing: “…”

“Hehehe~~~ Surrender to the white light!”

As if she had seen the dawn of victory, seeing Yusei remained silent and seemed to be completely out of options, Asuka couldn't help but smile knowingly: "... Let's fight, [Blue Ice White Night Dragon] attacks [Flower Baroness]!!!"

Upon receiving Asuka's order, the [Blue Ice White Night Dragon] immediately opened its mouth and spewed out a breath of icy air mixed with an evil aura towards the [Flower Baroness].

Yusei has 2700 health points left, and Asuka has 1600 health points left.

After the attack power of [Blue Ice White Night Dragon] doubled to 6000 points at this moment of the battle, Yusei, who only had [Flower Baroness] with an attack power of 3000 standing on the field, would receive up to 3000 points of battle damage at the same time as the monster was destroyed.

Also, due to the existence of the continuous magic card [White Night Castle], Yusei cannot activate trap cards to respond during Asuka's turn.

No matter how you look at it, Yusei seems destined to be defeated in this attack.

“…Yusei!?”

Seeing that Youxing was about to be defeated, the people watching the battle couldn't help but exclaim.

Feeling impatient, Judai Yuki even thought about rushing out directly to block this wave of attacks on behalf of Yusei.

"Well done..."

Looking at Yusei who was about to attack, his hands finally made new movements.

Facing the incoming wave of ice, he smiled slightly, then quickly pressed the start button on the duel disk and activated the card lying in ambush in the backcourt: "...But, you are still too young! Asuka!"

"…At the moment you attack, I open the face card in the backfield and activate the quick-play magic card - [Mirage Cylinder]!"

Asuka: "It's actually... a quick-attack magic card?!"

Just like before, Asuka dodged the activation restriction of the Trap Card of [White Night Castle] and took out a Quick-Play Magic Card [Forbidden Holy Grail] during Yusei's turn, intending to negate the effect of [Flower Baroness].

At this critical moment, Youxing also turned over the card that was lying in ambush in the backcourt.

It is not the [Magic Cylinder] which is a Trap Card, but the [Mirage Cylinder] which has a similar effect and exists as a Quick-Play Magic Card!

-

【Mirage Cylinder】

(quick attack magic card)

effect:

This card can only be activated when a face-up monster on your field is selected as an attack target. That attack is negated, and the opponent is dealt damage equal to the attack target's attack power.
