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

Chapter 156 Speed ​​155 Wall of Thorns

The world of Yu-Gi-Oh is often not as we imagine, where everything is not resolved by duels.

When there is a huge power gap, villains often don't need to waste time dueling, such as Tapir in the DM series. Like Izayoi Aki, he has the ability to materialize cards. If it weren't for the existence of Atem in the protagonist group, he would probably have used the man-eating worm to take away the Millennium Artifact long ago.

This implicit rule continued into the 5Ds. The current Izayoi Akira could not be considered a true duelist, and she did not come to You Qing for a sparring match. If she had not encountered the elf from the ice barrier, her efforts would never have been in vain.

after all……

The duel brought back too many painful memories for her...

“Shuashuashua————————————”

The thorn monster on the field of Shizayoi Akira exploded, shooting poisonous thorns at You Qing. After the self-destruction, it used itself as nutrients to produce two new evil thorns.

【Evil Thorn】

【one star】

[Dark Attribute/Plant Family]

[Attack/Defense: 100/300]

When new monsters appeared, two more roses slowly blossomed on You Qing's battlefield. Izayoi Akira said in a cold voice, "Black Garden's effect: whenever a monster is Special Summoned or Special Summoned by an effect other than this card, its attack power is halved."

"After that, Special Summon a Rose Token in Attack Position on your opponent's side of the field."

"Set three covered cards, and my turn ends."

【Rose derivatives】

【Two stars】

[Dark Attribute/Plant Family]

[Attack/Defense: 800/800]

Since Izayoi Akira summoned twice in one turn, You Qing now has two Rose tokens on the field.

"Then it's my turn, draw a card!"

You Qing glanced at his hand and the situation on the field. He needed to resolve this battle quickly. He had to reach the designated location before 3:00 AM and win the duel there in exchange for information about Decade. Due to some special circumstances, he had better adjust his deck before the duel and remove the Ice Barrier cards...

Before leaving the satellite area, Mr. Monk Zheng mentioned a duel gym in Shindojino City that had the same rich history as Jibingliu - the Six Samurai. Monk Zheng told You Qing that it was best to avoid those guys and not approach them as Jibingliu. As for the reason, it was traced back to the time before the third generation of gym leaders. Too many things happened in those years, especially a lot of grievances.

Kurosawa, the boss of the Tavern, had reminded me that the opponent in that duel was a warrior, and the deck was also a warrior. There weren't many warrior-related series in Yu-Gi-Oh, and since this era was known for its 5Ds, Yu Qing naturally thought of the Six Samurai...

The long wind of the night continued to blow back from all sides. You Qing waved his card and used the derivative given by Shizayoi Aki to start a counterattack:

"Defense Position Summon—Crystal Mecha Matrix Topaz!!"

"Synchronize the two-star Crystal Mecha Matrix Topaz with two Rose Tokens!!"

"The Broken Immortal Mecha!!"

"Shake and roar amidst the overwhelming artillery fire!!"

"Lv6!! Armored Skeleton!!!"

【Armored Skeleton】

[Six-Star] [Light/Mechanical]

[Attack/Defense: 2500/1600]

"Since you summoned monsters twice, I Special Summoned two Rose Tokens onto the field," Izayoi Akira said in a cold and calm tone. "Also, the attack power of your Synchro Monsters is halved."

“Beep beep beep——————————”

[Armored Skeleton, Attack Power: 2500 → 1250]

You Qing was not disturbed. He decisively launched an attack on Shizayoi Qiu: "Enter the battle phase! Armored skeleton!! Attack the evil thorns!!"

“Boom——————————————————”

As You Qing finished speaking, a dark green wall of thorns suddenly rose up, blocking the Evil Thorn and flinging countless tentacle-like vines towards You Qing's monster! !

"Activate Trap Card - Wall of Thorns." Izayoi Akira said calmly, "This can only be activated when a face-up Plant-Type monster on your side of the field is selected as an attack target. Destroy all Attack Position monsters on your opponent's side of the field!"

Countless thorny vines with barbs lashed out at the armored skeleton, but failed to cause the slightest damage. The seemingly terrifying destructive force was easily blocked by the solid shield! !
"The effect of Armored Skeleton!" You Qing shouted, "During the turn this card is Synchro Summoned, this card cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects! Armored Skeleton, attack Evil Thorn!!"

"boom!!!!!!!!!!!"

Under the influence of the Black Garden, the destructive power of the Armored Skeleton is not as terrifying, but Izayoi Akira's derivative only has 50 attack points. If this attack succeeds, You Qing will cause a full 1200 points of damage! !
However, Izayoi Aki seemed to have anticipated that Youqing would perform a Synchro Summon, and even the derivatives he summoned were probably just to trick Youqing into using his Tuner monsters: "Activate Trap Card - Synchro Banish."

"Select a face-up Synchro Monster on your opponent's field and banish it from the Duel."

"The opponent draws a card from their deck."

“Wow————————————————”

The power of the armored skeleton quickly dissipated. It first turned into five-level stars, and then slowly disappeared on the battlefield.

Now, You Qing's battle phase had to end, and he had no monsters on the field since his Normal Summon had already been used.

You Qing pondered secretly.

Izayoi Aki did this...

Most likely, it was to accumulate strength for the next round of onslaught...

As I recall, Black Garden has another effect, which is to destroy all Plant-Type monsters on the field and itself, and Special Summon a monster from the Graveyard with an attack power equal to the total attack power of all Plant-Type monsters on the field.

The total ATK of the Plant-Type monsters on the field is currently 1700. If she summons another monster, Black Garden's effect will trigger, raising the total ATK to over 2500. If that third face-up card is a card that exceeds the death line, then the Plant-Type monsters resurrected from the graveyard with Black Garden will gain a -point ATK bonus, which is very likely to result in an OTK!
After all, after being affected by the Evil Thorn, I only have 3700 LP left...

You Qing deduced the most likely tactics that Izayoi Qiu would use, and then began to arrange defenses in the second main phase: "Activate the continuous magic card - Sea of ​​Regeneration!!"

"Once per turn, you can Special Summon a Water monster with 1000 ATK or less from your Graveyard!!"

"Resurrection!! Crystal Machine Matrix Topaz!!"

"Activate the Spell Card again - Emblem of Ice Barrier, and add an Ice Barrier monster from your deck to your hand!!"

"Ban the Ice Barrier Emblem from the Graveyard, and Special Summon from your hand—Magic Strikers!!"

"Synchronize the Level 2 Crystal Machine Matrix Topaz with the Level 3 Magic Striker!!"

"Summon!! Crystal Machine Matrix Ametrine!!!"
