My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

Following the effect of [Dragon Race's Friendship], Shen Sui exchanged three 1-star, 0 Spirit Value derivatives for three powerful Rose Beasts.

But just moments ago, An Hai's field, which was full of powerful followers, now only had an 8-star Fish King and three Sacrificial Puppet derivatives.

Moreover, due to the effect of [Fish King · Paiyiga], as long as it remains on An Hai's field, he cannot release the derivatives on his field, effectively blocking four-fifths of his follower slots, which is incredibly painful for a deck built around filling the board.

However, such pain is something only others would experience.

For An Hai, this was an exciting thing.

Crushing an opponent to death is, of course, satisfying.

But a duel between evenly matched opponents is the battle he truly desires.

"Then, pay the cost to cover a Spell Card, and now activate the effect of [Sacrificial Puppet · Ada] on my field to release the Sacrificial Puppet derivatives on my field, reducing the card's cost by 15."

The second effect of [Sacrificial Puppet · Ada] can reduce the cost of using a Life Card by releasing Ada or her derivatives, where X is the number of Ada + her derivatives on the field times 3, which includes those on the opponent's field.

Generally, giving Sacrificial Puppet derivatives to the opponent is a very risky move because the opponent can also use this effect to reduce the cost of using Life Cards.

Unfortunately, due to the presence of Paiyiga on An Hai's field, he cannot release derivatives.

Shen Sui once again activated Ada's effect, released Ada on his field, and covered another Spell Card.

"Then pay 6 Soul Points." Shen Sui used the last of his Soul Points to cover the last card in his hand.

"Enter the battle phase." Without any hesitation, Shen Sui directly entered the battle phase.

There were three 0 Spirit Value derivatives on An Hai's field.

While the Spirit Values of the three roses on Shen Sui's field were 5000, 4000, and 5100 respectively, in the face of these values, An Hai's Life Value of 3000 was indeed like a candle in the wind.

Of course, such 'candle in the wind' clichés were not something Shen Sui would say.

"Let me witness the true strength of a professional eighth-rank Life Card Master! An Hai!" Shen Sui shouted loudly, "Your current Life Value is like a candle in the wind, how will you respond?!"

Alright, he said it.

No one can resist saying this phrase when the opportunity arises.

The main point is, Shen Sui didn't think An Hai could be defeated so easily.

"If you have no other moves, then I will end this duel with your Soul Card! Lu Ya! Attack the Sacrificial Puppet derivatives!"

Countless vines ensnared the attack target.

5000 points of damage were about to fall upon An Hai.

An Hai remained unfazed, laughing heartily: "As you wish!"

He raised his hand and directly flipped open the covered card.

"When I take lethal damage, flip open the covered card!"

"Activate Spell Card, [Rosebushes]!"

"This can be activated when I take lethal damage," An Hai shouted, "making the damage ineffective, and then I can release all [Rose] and [Roses] followers on both sides of the field, ignoring any summoning conditions, and special summon one [Rose] or [Roses] follower from my deck!"

"I release your [Radiant Dragon Spirit Rose · Lu Ya], [Dragon Shield Rose · Bai Ling], and [Buried Dragon Bone Rose] on your field!"

As the light of release shone, Shen Sui's front field instantly became empty.

An Hai waved his hand fiercely, spreading open his deck.

"Special summon from my deck!"

"A weak flower!"

"That needs the nourishment of blood!"

"To devour the flesh, the Bloodthirsty Demon Rose."

"Blossom in darkness and sin!"

An Hai raised his hand as the blood-red mist spread from behind him.

"Descend!"

"Bloodthirsty Demon Rose!"

A flower of evil blossomed on An Hai's field.

With the blooming of the blood-colored rose, the followers on An Hai's field were gradually consumed by flower vines.

"The effect of Bloodthirsty Demon Rose must activate when it is successfully special summoned, destroying all follower cards on both sides of the field."

An Hai pointed at Shen Sui, saying, "Your turn is over."

What the fuck!

You high-level professional Life Card Masters, can't you save the debut of new cards for official matches? Why bring out new cards in such private duels!

Looking at the [Bloodthirsty Demon Rose] he's never seen in the data, Shen Sui was quite helpless; this way, his restriction on An Hai's board was lifted.

He spread his hands: "That seems to be the case. Then, please start your turn."

"My turn! Draw!"

An Hai raised his hand and drew a card from the deck, bringing his hand to four cards.

Drew a card.

"Pay 3 Soul Points and activate the Spell Card [Initial Rose] from my hand."

"Special summon a [Rose] or [Roses] follower with multiple forms from my graveyard and bring her out in her initial form."

"Revive from the earth! [White Rose · Lu Ya]!"

Oh no! Again?

No need to think; An Hai is planning to once again switch Lu Ya's form to the radiant Dragon Spirit Rose form. If he really manages that, there's no way to target her.

"At this moment! Open the covered card!" Shen Sui, without any hesitation, opened the 6-star covered card, "Activate Spell Card [Spiritual Enchantment]!"

"This can be activated during the main phase on both sides; select an opponent's follower as the target, and gain control of that follower!"

"I choose to gain control of your [White Rose · Lu Ya] on the field."
