Want to play cards? I'll use my King's Deck!

Replacing the liberated "Lone Spark," a new plant-type monster from the Trisolaran race arrived on the battlefield.

Two of them are Tuner monsters, and one is a non-Tuner monster.

"Have you collected them all again?"

Despite Grafa's attempts to intercept, he ultimately failed to stop Izayoi Yuki.

"I used the 4-star 'Mandala Angel Trumpeter' to level up my 3-star 'Dandelion Lion'. Cold flames envelop everything in the world, let the black flowers bloom! Synchro Summon! Come forth, 'Black Rose Dragon'!"

"Black Rose Dragon, Rank 7 / Fire / Dragon / Synchro" "ATK: 2400 / DEF: 1800"

A synchronized light shone, rose petals rained down, and the most magnificent yet tyrannical dragon appeared, its wings outstretched. Roaring, it was about to unleash the pent-up hatred of years past in place of the young girl.

"When the effect of 'Black Rose Dragon' is activated, and a Synchro Summon is successfully performed, all cards on the field are destroyed."

"He activated his trump card effect without hesitation."

Grafa said in surprise, "But doing this will involve all the monsters you've managed to summon."

"No need to trouble yourself. Chain 'Black Rose Dragon', 'Navigate Rosemary' effect activated!"

[You can target 1 face-up monster you control. Send 1 Plant-Type monster you control (other than that monster) to the Graveyard. The targeted monster cannot be destroyed by battle or monster effects once this turn. This effect can also be activated during your opponent's turn.]

"I send 'Navigate Rosemary' to the Graveyard and choose 'Black Rose Dragon' to grant it one instance of Effect Break Resistance this turn."

A blue-haired girl in a sailor uniform waved a flag, transforming herself into a beam of light that landed on the "Black Rose Dragon." Then, the "Black Rose Dragon," having charged to its limit, spread its wings, unleashing a whirlwind of wind and swirling rose petals.

"That way, the 'Black Rose Dragon' won't be destroyed. Destroy everything, [Black Rose Storm]!"

—Destruction by "Rain, the Demon God of the Dark World".

— The "Transforming Jar" is destroyed.

The scattered rose petals, like blades, instantly sliced ​​through all the monsters on Grafa's field. Grafa had previously used a monster version of Izayoi Yuki's second-speed "Lightning Strike," but she immediately retaliated in kind.

And it's not over yet.

"Finally, there's the guaranteed effect of 'Dandelion Lion': if it's sent to the Graveyard, Special Summon 2 Level 1 Wool Tokens to my field. Then there's the second effect of 'Navigate Rosemary': if it's sent to the Graveyard by a card effect, send 1 Level 5 or lower Plant-Type monster from your Deck or Extra Deck to the Graveyard. Send 'Spore' to the Graveyard. Then, the effect of 'Spore' activates."

[This card's effect can only be used once in a Duel. ①: If this card is in your Graveyard, you can banish 1 other Plant-Type monster from your Graveyard to activate this effect. Special Summon this card. The Level of this card Special Summoned by this effect is equal to the Level of the banished monster.]

"Special Summon 'Spore' in Defense Position, excluding the Level 4 'Mandala Angel Trumpeter'."

"Spore, Level 1→5 / Wind / Plant / Adjustment" "ATK: 400 / DEF: 800"

By consuming the star power of cards in the graveyard, a plant monster that looks almost exactly like the cotton wool derivative left behind by "Dandelion Lion" appears.

Then the second beam of synchronized light burst forth.

"If you control a Plant-Type monster, return 'Rozen Maiden' from your Graveyard to your hand. Use 'Spore' (Level 5) to Synchro Summon two Level 1 Tokens of the Cotton Token. Synchro Summon 'Fairy Ring' (Level 7)!"

"Fairy Ring, Level 7 / Anemo / Plant / Synchro" "ATK: 2200 / DEF: 2500"

The giant, made of plants, stood tall behind Izayoi Yuki, and a girl wearing a white round hat stood upright on the position of its circular head.

"When a Plant-Type monster is sent from the field to the Graveyard, Rozen Maiden is Special Summoned in Defense Position. Then comes the effect of Fairy Ring!"

[While this card is in the Monster Zone, you can Normal Summon 1 Insect/Plant monster during your Main Phase, in addition to your Normal Summon (once only).]

"I summon 'Plant Girl' in an attack stance."

"Plant Girl, Level 3/Water/Plant" "ATK: 1300/DEF: 1100"

By consuming the second Normal Summon opportunity granted by the Synchro Monster, a new monster is summoned to the girl's field. Combined with the "Rozen Maiden" that adjusted the attribute earlier, this completes another set of Synchro Materials.

"Use the 3-star 'Rozen Maiden' to adjust the star level of the 3-star 'Plant Maiden', then Synchro Summon—!"

Chapter 110: The Ascension to the Throne of the Dark Realm Begins!

"Is this the place?"

After getting off the shared bicycle, You Xi looked around and saw nothing unusual except for the peaceful scene.

However, judging from the phone's location signal, Izayoi Yuki should have disappeared in this area.

"You Xijun!"

Not long after You Xi arrived, a shout came from not far away.

He turned around and saw that the person who came was a blonde girl with a bob haircut.

"Miss Hoshino, have you notified Officer Ushio yet?"

"Yes, Uncle Ushio said he'll be there as soon as possible. It'll probably take a while for people to arrive."

"So that means we can only rely on ourselves now?"

You Xi frowned, but he also understood that it would take time from receiving the news to dispatching the police.

After all, no one can teleport. At least, no one with that skill exists in the local security bureau.

What they should do now is wait where they are, until Ushio arrives with his men, and then hand over all the intelligence they have to him, relying on the Duel Guards to help solve the problem.

This is the best and most reasonable approach.

But doing that might be too late.

"...Miss Hoshino, I don't feel anything. Have you noticed anything unusual on your end?"

Yuki asked the blonde girl, explaining that he had learned from training and the teachings of Izayoi Yuki and Hoshino Mai that Feel could also be used as a kind of sensory radar. It could not only sense the strength of enemies and Pokémon, but also detect anything amiss in the surroundings. Simply put, it was similar to "Ki" in Dragon Ball.

If Izayoi Yuki had encountered an enemy, she would have strongly displayed her own "Feel" during the duel, and Hoshino Mai, who is familiar with her fluctuations, should have been able to immediately detect the traces.

however--

"No."

Xing Yewu shook her head. At this moment, she was no longer in the mood for jokes, and her expression was quite serious.

"I've been trying to sense her since just now, but I haven't been able to feel Xiaoxue's presence. I never imagined that this urban legend would prevent Xiaoxue from even having a chance to send a distress signal."

"Really?"

Xingyewu's answer did not surprise Youxi too much.

If she could sense it, Xingye Wu would have notified him immediately.

This answer also reveals two possibilities—either the true form of this urban legend is so powerful that even Izayoi Yuki, who has received training from the Public Security Bureau, cannot resist it, or something is covering up the fluctuations emitted by Feel.

Yu Xi believes the latter possibility more than the former.

In other words...

[An alternate dimension! There's an alternate dimension hidden here.]

"Miss Belle, have you discovered something?"

A second female voice, besides Hoshino Yewu's, reached his ears. Yu Xi had become quite familiar with that voice over time. It was none other than "Diabelstar the Black Witch," whom he had lured back from the Duel Trials of the Trial Cards.

After his last duel with the projection of Yugi in his mind's space, Yuki discovered that he could hear the voices of the spirits.

Although we can't see any elves yet, it's enough for now.

Besides, he also has Xingyewu.

"Of course, who do you think I am? This level of disguise is no challenge for this legendary thief. It's not even as difficult as the traps in the ruins I encountered the first time."

"That's it."

Regardless of how much boasting there was in the Black Witch's words, she certainly had far more experience in adventure and dismantling traps than Yuki and Hoshino.

Therefore, the problems that Yu Xi and the other two couldn't discover might not be ones she couldn't discover either. Finding flaws in mechanisms and barriers is a specialty of someone of the Black Witch's status.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Miss Bell. Please help us find Izayoi's location!"

……

"Synchronization Summon! Rank 6, 'Gorgeous Rose'!"

"Gorgeous Rose, Rank 6 / Wind / Plant / Synchro" "ATK: 2200 / DEF: 2000"

The third beam of synchronized light dissipated, revealing a darker side and a lighter green side, as a girl in a symmetrical dress entered, surrounded by thorns.

When "Plant Girl" is sent from the field to the Graveyard, add 1 Plant-Type monster with 1000 or less DEF to your hand from your Deck. Then activate the Spell Card: "One Against All!"

【One Against All (Normal Spell): You can target 1 face-up monster on the field. That monster gains 1500 ATK until the end of this turn.】

"Use this card's effect to raise 'Gorgeous Rose's' ATK to 3700 and enter the Battle Phase!"

The simple and unadorned attack-boosting cards lead to a deadly formation.

With the declaration of battle, the Trisolaran Synchro Monsters all assumed an offensive stance, their fierce killing intent concentrated on Grafa alone.

"First, there's the direct attack from 'Fairy Ring'!"

[Grafa LP: 8000 → 5800]

The plant giant slammed down, causing the ground to shake and crack. Although Grafa dodged the direct hit a step in advance, his base score still dropped by a quarter.

Following closely behind was a cherry-colored, furious dragon's breath.

"The second strike, a direct attack from the 'Black Rose Dragon,' [Black Rose Flame]!"

[Grafa LP: 5800 → 3400]

Bathed in flames, Grafa's health dropped sharply again. If "Gorgeous Rose" could finish him off, this [Doomsday Bell] executive would be completely eliminated.

However, at that moment, Grafa, who had taken two direct hits with his own body, spoke up.

"You really intend to take me down in one turn, huh? But you can't. The effect of 'Tragodia' in my hand is activated."

"Special Summon this card when you take battle damage!"

"Tragodia, Level 10/Dark/Demon" "ATK: ?/DEF: ?"

As the card was struck, a large, black, lobster-like monster emerged in front of Grafa, becoming his new human shield.
