Yu-Gi-Oh!: Phobic Peptide Mad Dragon Executioner Dragon

Wherever its trails went, everything was burned to ashes.

The crimson dragon looked down with disdain, its flames blazing brightly.

—Excerpt from "The Enlightenment Record - Old Chapters"

Looking at the smiling Marjoram, Sera (human) took a deep breath and pulled a card from the top of the deck with her small hand.

"My turn, draw a card!"

In a sense, this was her first real duel with someone other than her teacher, so it would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous.

She glanced again at the card Xing Liang had specially given her and began to think about how to break through Ma Yulan's defenses.

"I Normal Summon [Putica's Trap Hole]. When this card is successfully summoned, you can activate this effect: add 1 [Trap Hole Garden] from your Deck to your hand."

"At this moment, I activate the Face Card Perpetual Trap [Thirsty Winds], but do not activate its effect for the time being."

Ma Yulan was still smiling, seemingly lost in thought.

"A trap card... I set a Link Arrow on Putica and Link Summon LINK 1 [Sera's Trap]! This Link Summoned card is unaffected by trap card effects!"

Sera's (insect's) clone appeared, angrily waving its little fists at Marjoram.

"Then I chain-activate the effect of [Blessed Wind], targeting the Plant-Type monster Lone Spark in my Graveyard, returning it to the Deck, and I recover 500 Life Points."

Marjoram LP8000→8500

"Because I recovered my Life Points, the effect of [Aroma Seraphim - Rosemary] can be activated once per turn by targeting 1 face-up card on your opponent's field. Negate that card's effect until the end of the turn. I also target your Sera card until the end of the turn."

Rosemary waved her staff lightly, and a wisp of fragrant pollen floated gently toward Sera's (insect's) clone. She sniffed it in confusion, then felt dizzy and fainted.

Being young is great; you can fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow (laughs).

"Ah, well then, the effect of my card 【Gino's Trap Monster】is that if I control a 'Trap Monster' monster, I can activate this effect during either player's Main Phase: Special Summon this card from my hand. The cost is that after this effect is activated, I cannot Special Summon any monsters other than Insect or Plant monsters from my Extra Deck until the end of this turn."

"Next, I activate the Field Spell Card [Trap Garden]. Its first effect grants me an additional Normal Summon opportunity for a 'Trap Monster'. I Normal Summon [Tio's Trap Monster]. When this card is successfully Summoned, its effect activates: Special Summon Putica in Defense Position to my Graveyard. Putica's Special Summon effect can be activated by banishing it to Mulan on your field!"

However, nothing happened, and Putika looked at Sera (the person) helplessly, not knowing what to do.

"Hehe, when [Aroma Seraphim - Sweet Marjoram] is on the field and I have more Life Points than you, you cannot target Plant-Type monsters on your field with your effects. At the same time, I chain your Putika to activate the face card [Aromatherapy], and I recover Life Points equal to 1000 for each type of 'Aroma' monster on my field."

Marjoram LP8500 →

"Because I recover my basic points, Magnolia's effect activates, and the ATK of all Plant-Type monsters on the field increases by that number until the end of the turn."

木兰ATK3100→6100；甜马郁兰ATK2700→5700；炽天使-迷迭香ATK2500→5500；莉莉丝-迷迭香ATK2700→5700

"At the same time, if I recover my Life Points, I can target 1 card on your field and destroy it; then, I can chain-activate the effect of Thirsty Wind 1. If I recover my Life Points, I can target 1 face-up monster on your field and activate this effect, destroying that monster. I can then target and destroy Gino and Tio on your field respectively."

Seeing the fragrant fairies whose aura suddenly surged, Sera (human) gasped.

Marjoram's monsters on the field have too high attack power; she "currently" cannot break through them.

"I activate the 3rd effect of Garden of Insect Bewitchment, banishing Sera on my field, and Special Summon Treon from my hand in Defense Position. Its Special Summon effect destroys your [Thirsty Wind]!"

"Then, I chain-activate its effect. If I have an 'Aromatic' monster on my field and my Life Points are more than 3000 higher than my opponent's, I must pay the difference in Life Points to activate this effect. The total ATK is up to the Life Points paid to activate this effect. I then destroy any face-up monster my opponent controls."

Marjoram LP → 7700

Pay a base score of 3800

"Destroy monsters with a total ATK of 3800, but it seems that the total ATK of the monsters on your field is less than 3800. In that case, destroy them all."

Sera (human) only has two cards in her hand now, and Marjorie doesn't think she can break through this field.

The main strategy of using Trap Monsters is to intercept the opponent's Summoned or Special Summoned monsters with Cyclic Trap Cards, and then gradually defeat the opponent by using Trap Monsters to defeat them.

Once the opponent special summons a high-attack monster to the field, or special summons a monster with corresponding resistances, the Trap Crypt Lord has no way to deal with it.

"Um, Sister Ma Yulan, you don't have any effects that you can activate anymore, right?"

Sera (the person) asked cautiously.

"Hmm... the field has one more effect, but it can only be activated when one of my aromatic monsters is destroyed by battle or a monster effect."

It is normal to ask your opponent about the remaining unactivated effects during a duel, so Marjoram answered truthfully.

"Do you still have any monsters on your field that haven't activated their effects this turn, sister?"

"And what about Lilith Rosemary?"

Marjorie felt a vague unease.

At that moment, she smelled smoke.

Fire, big fire.

The sudden flames engulfed all the monsters on her field except for Lilith-Rosemary, transforming into a giant red dragon that hovered above them.

If the Ptsundere family itself cannot resolve this situation, then what about those who are not from the same family?

"I Tribute all face-up monsters in your Monster Zone that activated effects this turn, and then Special Summon from my hand..."

A crimson-gold halo appeared beneath Sera's (human) feet, and an ancient greatsword emerged from the air and was planted on Sera's (human) field.

The crimson dragon in the sky also descended at this moment, and a petite figure was standing on the end of the sword hilt.

"[Kurigara Tendo]!"

"The First-Rank Lord..."

Marjorie was stunned. She had expected that Sera (the human) would have other cards attached, but she hadn't expected that Sera (the human) would directly draw the first card.

That's the first-ranked Lord!

After the divine realm ceased to interfere in the mortal world, the twelve lords who held divine authority were, in a sense, equivalent to gods.

Who exactly is Sera (a person)?

The two Sera were also shocked by the appearance of the first Rank Lord. Humans had never seen a Rank Lord, and even among elves, very few knew of the existence of Rank Lords.

But the crimson-gold halo clearly indicated the identity of the visitor.

The First Lord of the First Rank!

So the question is, who is Nian Zhong (Xing Liang's pseudonym) and how could he so easily hand over a card of a Lord of Rank to someone else?

"Uh, well, the effect of Kurikara-dōji is that this card gains 1500 ATK for each monster Tributed when this card is Special Summoned. I Tributed three of your monsters, so that's 4500 ATK."

Kurikara Tendo ATK1500→6000

The duel was not over yet, and even though they were full of questions, they could only ask Nianzhong (Xing Liang's pseudonym) when they got back.

"Entering the battle phase, Kurikara Tendo attacks your Lilith-Rosemary on the field!"

The little girl with white hair and red eyes sat on the end of the sword hilt, swinging her legs and waving her hand. The red dragon roared and charged towards Lilith-Rosemary.

Marjoram LP7700→6900

Because Seraph-Rosemary left the field, Lilith-Rosemary's attack power decreased by 500, becoming 5200.

"Ahem, the second effect of Fragrant Garden is activated. If a 'Fragrant' monster on my field is destroyed by battle or effect and sent to the Graveyard, I recover 1000 Life Points."

Marjoram LP6900→7900

Flames surrounded them, and Marjoram, a plant spirit, felt short of breath.

"Entering Main Phase 2, I set one card, and then enter the End Phase. Kurikara-dōji's effect can be activated by targeting Magnolia in your Graveyard and Special Summoning it to my field."

Serra (player) forwards: Juligara Tendo ATK 6000; Mulan ATK 2600

Back row: 1, Hand: 0, Field: Garden of Insects

"My turn is over."

Kurikara looked at Sera (the human) with great interest, her two small, white feet swaying back and forth, seemingly in a good mood.

Is this also Mr. Nianzhong's daughter?

Tian Tong thought to himself.
