The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　Therefore, it fits very well with the "Ghost Grass" series of decks.

　However, it takes significantly longer to hatch, about ten times longer than the "original dragon egg," which is thirty seconds!

　When it is reborn from the ashes, it is also when the parasitic plant withers away.

　The resulting "Phoenix Egg" will be affected by the level of the parasitic plant, and will hatch into a "Phoenix" of the corresponding level.

　The "Cloud Tree Flower" is level six. If it can be successfully hatched, the "Cloud Fire Phoenix" will be level eight!

　This is the limit for this "Phoenix Egg of Ghostfire".

　……

　Furthermore, even if the "Phoenix Egg" fails to hatch, she still has a backup plan—if she draws that card!

　"Hold on for this round, 'Dark Cloud Tree Blossom'!"

　The "Cloud Tree Flower" seemed to respond, swaying its petals.

　The "Tree Dragon" it summoned has been destroyed by Espeon.

　It has only petals and no branches, so it can only rely on the supermodel's defense to protect the "Phoenix Egg" - as well as the Blue Cube Magic Ball hidden in its body by "Plant Trick"!

　It bears a heavy responsibility.

　But the "single sheath" has already been officially launched under Dark's orders!

　The "single sword sheath," no longer lost, shot out like a flying sword.

　It gained momentum during its accelerated flight, but did not use "Sword Dance".

　The terrifying defense displayed by the "Cloudy Tree Flower" led it to decide to save "Sword Dance" for last.

　Faced with an immovable target, its "triple strike" is unlikely to miss!

　……

　"Tick!"

　When the fourth round begins.

　The first strike from "Single Sword Sheath" landed squarely on "Dark Cloud Tree Flower".

　Even though it chose the seemingly weakest part of the petals, it could only cut a harmless white mark.

　However, it was the second sword strike.

　The second sword strike, with its attack power increased by fifty percent, finally damaged the petals.

　But this was still to no avail.

　It suddenly spun halfway in the air, and the terrifying momentum accumulated from the two consecutive slashes exploded instantly, with strong air currents swirling around the sword.

　"Triple Slash" + "Sword Dance" = 200% increase in base attack!

　This sword suddenly pierced through the petals of the "Nether Cloud Tree Flower" and struck the "Netherfire Phoenix Egg" at the top of the tree!

　Faced with this incredibly sharp sword strike, the shell of the "Netherfire Phoenix Egg" emitted an extremely intense dark green glow.

　The blade of the "Single Sword Sheath" immediately felt the same sticky sensation as when slashing at the "Dark Cloud Tree Flower".

　Then it cut this three-star "Phoenix Egg" in half!

　The egg liquid from the "Phoenix of the Netherfire" immediately splattered out.

　The remaining portion flowed down the canopy of the "Cloud Tree Flower".

　……

　"Roar!"

　A somewhat immature dragon roar erupted.

　The Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon hatched from the Primordial Dragon Egg.

　It spread its wings, hovered in the air, and looked around curiously. The lingering fragrance in the air made it somewhat allergic.

　"Chimi——"

　It suddenly yawned.

　"The 'single sword sheath' transforms into weapon form."

　The "single sword sheath," having completed its mission, suddenly flew back. Then, as it transformed into weapon form, it flew into the claws of the "Blue-Eyes Young Dragon."

　Even though both "Triple Slash" and "Sword Dance" have been used, the increased attack power alone is enough to make it the best weapon.

　When the Blue-Eyes Young Dragon is equipped with the Single-Sheath, its maximum attack power can reach 4800 points.

　Unless the "Cloudy Tree Flower" is immune to more than 37.5% of physical attacks, he will definitely be able to penetrate its defenses.

　But when it went up with its sword.

　Patricia Pollin, the blue team's player on the platform, showed a slight sign of relaxation.

　Although she didn't really care about the final outcome of the duel, she had given so much advice from her senior before and after the duel, and it would still be somewhat embarrassing to lose in the end.

　Therefore, she was very satisfied with drawing the "Fantasy Beast: Ghost Plant" card in this crucial draw.

　"Magical Beast: Ghost Plant" was naturally the first Magical Spirit Card he created when he was in his first year of high school.

　The one-star "Fantasy Beast: Ghost Plant" is not a good fit for Patricia Bolin's deck in terms of strength and does not help with Special Summoning.

　But this magic card can work miracles at crucial moments. She needs such a magic card so that she will never give up hope when she is in dire straits.

　Card Name: Magical Beast (Ghost Plant)

　[Type: Spirit Card]

　【grade:】

　[Race: Plant]

　[Type: Ghost/Grass]

　【Magic Power: 100】

　[Attack: 10]

　[Defense: 100]

　[Ultimate Skill: Adhesive Potion]

　This "Magical Beast: Ghost Plant" has only one special move, which can turn itself into a "sticky potion" to forcibly stick Ghost-type and Grass-type Magical Pokémon together!

　While this is not comparable to "fusion," it is still a means of combining.

　Broadly speaking, it is based on Elsie Kevin's technology of mechanical assembly and "fusion".

　In Patricia Boling's "Ghost Grass" deck, most of the Spellweavers are dual Ghost and Grass types.

　This means that in most cases, she can stick any two magical spirits together.

　Although "Ghostfire Phoenix Egg" is not a Grass-type, it is a Ghost-type.

　"Ghost Tree Flower" is a Grass/Ghost type, and in the sticky situation, it can be considered the Grass type.

　Even if the "Phoenix Egg of Ghostfire" is broken, its egg liquid still possesses powerful magic.

　Patricia Bolin summoned the "Magic Beast: Ghost Plant" without hesitation.

　This is a magical spirit with a slimy green body and a pair of small ghost wings, similar to a grass-type slime.

　As soon as it was summoned, it pounced on the body of the "Cloudy Tree Flower" to help it quickly stick to the egg liquid of the "Phoenix Egg".

　Then, dark green ghostly flames ignited on the body of the "Ghost Cloud Tree Flower".

　It suddenly moved, forcefully pulling out its roots that were firmly planted in the ground, and then it actually started to move!

　The egg liquid that adhered to it transformed into phoenix wings burning with ghostly flames.

　It may not be as good as the original body at times, but it is extremely important to the "Cloudy Tree Flower".

　Finally, phoenix claws emerged from the body of the "Cloud Tree Flower"!

　……

　This strangely shaped magical sprite, after sticking to the target, launched a frontal assault on the blue team's area.

　The "Blue-Eyes Young Dragon," wielding a "single-blade sheath," charged forward.

　Two magical spirits, both six-star, but whose strength surpassed that of six-star spirits, engaged in a fierce battle on the field.

　After "Ghost Cloud Tree Flower" became attached to Phoenix Egg Liquid, its defense and physical immunity did not increase, but its attack power dropped from 0. It is no longer a tank that can only take hits without being able to fight back.

　……

　The red player is on the stage.

　Darkdemon looked at the magic card he had acquired and pondered for a moment.

　【Fantasy Beasts: Ditto】

　【Paradise III? Moon】

　"It's a real shame I didn't get 'Fusion'."

　"Summoning a nine-star 'Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon' on the dueling stage should encourage more upperclassmen to initiate challenges, right?"

　"It's a pity that there is no if."

　Dark shook his head and began to summon the "Foxmon".

　If you use "Elysium III: Moon" to enhance "Ditto", it can transform into either "Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon" or "Ghost Cloud Tree Flower".

　But if it's used for the evolution of "Renamon"...

　Then he can acquire a powerful fire-type attacker.

　Fireweed.

　This is the textbook right choice.

　After all, not everyone can be called a "master of reverse attributes".

　……

　Neither player stopped.

　Dark summoned "Renamon" in the red team's summoning zone and used "Elysium III: Moon" to evolve it into "Nine-Tailed Foxmon".

　Meanwhile, the "Eevee: Magical Beast," which remained active in the arena, sent the dying "Underworld Flower" back to the Underworld—preventing any potential trouble.

　Ghost-type decks often include revival-type arcane cards.

　Dak didn't want to see pollen everywhere again!

　……

　After the "Flower of the Underworld" was destroyed, Patricia Pauline indeed showed a hint of regret.

　Of course, she doesn't have any related magic cards at the moment.

　She took the opportunity in the blue team's summoning zone to summon a fruit tree.

　—That's a three-star magical spirit called "Mother and Child Ghost Tree".

　The "Mother and Child Ghost Trees" also have an attack of 0, but specialize in magic and defense.

　One of its signature moves is the ability to consume its own magic power to quickly produce fruit.

　After the fruit falls to the ground, it will transform into a "ghost baby" of one to three stars.

　The star rating of "ghost baby" is highly random.

　Although they are not very strong, each one is an independent individual after it falls to the ground.

　When Sylveon turned back after defeating the Underworld Flower.

　Patricia Bolin has summoned a six-star magical spirit, "Wandering Wood Spirit," through a sacrificial summoning spell.

　That is a fusion of grass-type elemental and ghost, one of the legendary life forms that lingers on the banks of the River Styx.

　In stark contrast to Patricia Bolin's magical spirits, which have zero attack power, this "Wandering Wood Spirit" specializes in magic and attack, while having zero defense!

　But like Diana's "Bear Spirit," it is immune to physical attacks.

　Its ultimate techniques are "Cursed Claw" and "Wandering Curse Mark".
