Plant Princess

Sakura, who called out the trump card of her deck, had a rosy face and was quite excited.

But what was rare was that she seemed to remain calm and did not attack rashly.

"First, I activate Upstart Goblin. Draw 1 card, and the opponent gains 1000 LP. (*)

Then the effect of 'World Carrotweight Champion' in the GY is activated!" Sakura continued, "If this card is in my Graveyard, I can send 1 Plant-Type monster from my hand or face-up from my field to the Graveyard, except 'World Carrotweight Champion'; Special Summon this card!"

Yuei Vu understood: "Did you discard that card along with the 'Rose Lover' last turn?"

As the girl discarded a card from her hand, a card from the grave area popped up.

A monster with green vegetable leaves on its forehead and a carrot-like head, hands, and feet appeared. The art style was quite cartoonish and comedic.

[World Carrotweight Champion, ATK 1900]

"Then at this moment, the effect of 'Card of Safe Return' is activated." Yuei Vu said, "I will draw three more cards."

"Battle! First, I use Queen Angel of Roses to attack Elemental HERO Gaia!" Sakura gave the order.

The Rose Queen flew out without the slightest hesitation and aimed her sword straight at the Gaia's forehead. It seemed that she wanted to avenge the fact that she was stuck in the ground just now and was beaten up by the hero without a gentleman's demeanor.

"Open the set card: Trap Card – Half Unbreak." Yuei Vu opened the trap, "Target 1 monster on the field; this turn, that monster cannot be destroyed by battle, and the battle damage it causes to me will be halved. "

The blue light was released from the trap card, forming a transparent shield to envelop the body of Gaia.

Sakura smiled, a little smug on her face.

She felt that she was one step ahead of the Duel King!

"Tytannial, Princess of Camellias' effect is activated!" She waved her hand to the flower fairy beside her, "When a card or effect is activated that targets a card on the field, I can Tribute 1 face-up Plant monster to negate the activation and destroy it!

I tribute the 'World Carrotweight Champion' and negate Mr. Yuei Vu's trap card! "

The two green vines rolled up the World Carrotweight Champion on the field, and the latter quickly turned into golden powder and dissipated under the wrapping of the vines. Countless flower petals flew over, densely covering the shield protecting Gaia, disintegrating that layer of defense in the blink of an eye.

The Rose Queen's sword slashed fiercely at the armor of the Earth Hero, causing cracks with one strike. The hero's armor cracked, and the huge body staggered back two steps, turning into a phantom and dissipating.

Her Majesty the Queen withdrew her sword, flicked her skirt, and turned her head away as if she was satisfied with her revenge.

[Yuei Vu, LP 3700 → LP 3500]

"Next is Tytannial, Princess of Camellias." Sakura continued, "Attack Mr. Yuei Vu directly!"

Tytannial made a move. The huge petals opened, and the flying green leaves and bright flowers obeyed her command, turning into a piercing gun and shooting out through the air!

[Yuei Vu, LP 3500 → LP 700]

Yuei Vu closed his eyes and calmly took Tytannial's direct attack. The impact of the three-dimensional image lifted his bangs and caused his clothes to undulate slightly.

The girl among the players began to want to eat the eye candy again.

There are people in the world who are so beautiful when they are beaten…

Even Sakura Izayoi, who was his opponent, was a little distracted for a while…

Oh no, I'm still dueling now! Focus!

The girl shook her head, pulling herself back to reality.

"Set a card, I end my turn."

Her ace monsters "Tytannial, Princess of Camellias" and "Queen Angel of Roses" were both present and the opponent's LP was only 700 left!

Sakura clenched her hands into fists.

She instinctively felt that this duel——

——was a little unstable…

"My turn." Yuei Vu drew the card, his eyes moved slightly.

To actually draw this card at such a time…

…well, at least I should give him a chance to play.

"I summon 'Elemental HERO Sparkman'."

The blue electric current burst out of thin air, and the lightning warrior came to the field with a cool pose!

[Elemental HERO Sparkman, ATK 1600]

Sakura secretly said in her heart: Sparkman? I heard that it seems to be one of Mr. Yuei Vu's favorite monsters. But with his strength, he can't defeat my monsters, so Mr. Yuei Vu's purpose should be…

"Quick-Play Spell – Mask Change!"

When this Spell Card emerged, the emotions of the audience were immediately pushed to the top.

Mask Change!

According to legend, only the Duel King Yuei Vu had the key card that allowed the hero to wear a mask and gain the ability to transform!

"Sure enough!" Sakura said in her heart.

Like countless children of the same age, Sakura has watched every duel that Yuei Vu has made public countless times. She knew that if the opponent was allowed to transform, a Masked HERO who could instantly turn the tide of battle would appear!

He must be stopped!

"The effect of 'Tytannial, Princess of Camellias' is activated!" Sakura said, "Using 'Queen Angel of Roses' as a sacrifice, I negate the activation of 'Mask Change'! "

The vines wrapped the Rose Queen's body, and the latter quickly turned into golden spots of light and disappeared, being absorbed into Titania's body like nutrients.

The magic effect has just been activated, and the gorgeous transformation light effect has just appeared in front of Sparkman. The hero was opening his arms, waiting for the transformation. He never expected that a torrent of flowers was coming domineeringly at this time, breaking through the special effects of the transformation, and the aftermath of the shock even nearly knocked him to the ground.

Don't you dare to believe that a monster can interrupt the transformation of Kamen Rider?!

What about "being invincible during transformation time"?

"Very good!" Sakura said in her heart, "In this way, Mr. Yuei Vu will not be able to transform…"

However, before she even had time to give herself a thumbs up, Yuei Vu immediately played the next card: "Spell Card – Mask Charge! Add 1 'HERO' monster and 1 'Change' Quick-Play Spell Card in my Graveyard to my hand."

"Eh!?"

Sakura watched the two cards spit out from Yuei Vu's GY area and was dumbfounded for a while.

In that case… are all I did just now for nothing?

No, there is still a chance.

Sakura bit her soft lips, squinting at the set card at her feet.

If it is this card…

But Yuei Vu quickly shattered her last hope.

"Activate Field Spell – Fusion Gate!"

The space trembled, like a dark vortex leading to another dimension opened in mid-air, in which extremely huge fluctuations of magic power were brewing, radiating out in the form of lightning from time to time.

"I fuse 'Elemental HERO Sparkman' on the field with the 'Elemental HERO Blazeman' that was just recovered in the hand.

The fusion condition is 1 'Elemental HERO' monster + 1 LIGHT monster.

Fusion Call! Dispel the darkness with endless flashes—

——Elemental HERO The Shining! "

The heroes of electricity and fire both flew into the vortex of the fusion gate, releasing endless brilliance and bursting down. The all-white hero embraced his arms, and the golden pendant behind him slowly descended like the sun.

[Elemental HERO The Shining, ATK 2600]

"The Shining will gain 300 ATK for each of my banished 'Elemental HERO' monsters." Yuei Vu said, "Because Sparkman and Blazeman are banished by the effect of 'Fusion Gate', The Shining's attack power increased by 600."

[Elemental HERO The Shining, ATK 2600 → ATK 3200]

His attack power has surpassed that of Tytannial, Princess of Camellias!

"Battle! Elemental HERO The Shining, attack Tytannial, Princess of Camellias!"

The flashing hero flew high into the air, and the pendant behind him bloomed like a golden sun, as if spewing out the golden brilliance backward, pushing the hero to dive straight down!

At this point, both sides already understood what the ending would be.

However, after hesitating for a moment, Sakura still waved her hand: "O… open the set card: Trap Card – Trap Hole of Spikes! When an opponent's monster that was Normal or Special Summoned this turn declares an attack: Destroy that attacking monster, and inflict damage to the opponent equal to half the original ATK of that monster!"

The Shining's original attack power was 2600, half of its ATK would be 1300, while Yuei Vu's remaining LP was only 700.

If this blow passed, she would win!

…Of course, both of them knew that wasn't going to happen.

"Quick-Play Spell – Mask Change." Yuei Vu played this card again, "Send 1 'HERO' monster I control to the Graveyard, then Special Summon 1 'Masked HERO' monster from my Extra Deck with the same Attribute.

I sent the 'Elemental HERO The Shining' to the GY.

Transform! Masked HERO Koga!"

The trap hole appeared on the path of the flash man's sprint, but the special effect of this instant transformation had already appeared. The golden light turned into armor, quickly dressed the hero, and embodied it into armor, covering his whole body tightly, transforming into a Masked HERO with golden armor and shining flashes.

This time, the law of "being invincible during transformation time" finally applied, and the Trap Hole of Spikes lost its target, and it was directly judged invalid.

[Masked HERO Koga, ATK 2500]

"The first effect of Masked HERO Koga – This card gains 500 ATK for each monster the opponent controls!"

[Masked HERO Koga, ATK 2500 → ATK 3000]

"Then comes the second effect! Once per turn, I can banish 1 'HERO' monster from my Graveyard, then target 1 face-up monster on the field; that target loses ATK equal to the ATK of the monster banished to activate this effect, until the end of this turn!"

Yuei Vu showed a card that had been ejected from the GY area.

"I remove 'Elemental HERO Flame Wingman' from the game! Tytannial, Princess of Camellias's attack power has been reduced by Flame Wingman's attack power, which is 2100 points!"

[Tytannial, Princess of Camellias, ATK 2800 → ATK 700]

Koga's figure flickered, with a golden afterimage trailing behind him, and a few flashes came to the plant princess in an instant. Although she tried her best to resist, with her current attack power, she could not rival the enemy at all.

The blade of light tore apart her body and the flowers beneath it like fangs, and boundless golden brilliance erupted from the crack, crushing her body, and at the same time putting an end to the duel.

The loli blocked her body with her small hand wearing a Duel Disk, her rose-colored hair danced wildly in the wind, her body was finally overturned by the impact, and her little butt slammed onto the ground.

[Sakura Izayoi, LP 1800 → LP 0]
