My Stubborn Soul Card Follower-Chapter 595 - 434: The Sacred Rose Is Blooming!

"Duel begins!"

Both players almost simultaneously activated their Dueling Devices. Along with the glow from the devices, the platform lit up with blue light, followed by a large screen appearing in the sky.

"I’m going first!" An Hai announced first, drawing five Life Cards from his deck.

Both were veterans of Life Card Duels, so they didn’t need any useless chatter.

An Hai swiftly drew a Life Card from his hand, officially declaring the start of his turn.

"Paying 5 Soul Points, I activate from my hand, Spell Card [Flower Fertilizer Manufacturing]. I choose a [Rose], [Rose] Follower from my deck to add to my hand, and then I need to discard three cards from my hand."

"I choose to add the [Bloodthirsty Rose] from my deck to my hand." An Hai drew three cards from his hand and discarded them. At this moment, a timing point lit up.

An Hai showed Shen Sui the final card in his hand, the [White Rose·Lu Ya].

"When I lose my entire hand, I can Special Summon [White Rose·Lu Ya] from my hand to the field." An Hai raised his hand and loudly declared, "Come forth! My Soul Card!"

In the sky, as the beautiful white rose bloomed, a girl appeared lazily yawning amidst the roses.

Enhanced by the latest technology from the institute, the girl’s image seemed very realistic, as if she had truly appeared in this world. She even winked at Shen Sui and An Wei.

"Activate the effect of [White Rose·Lu Ya]; since I lost three cards from my hand, I can banish three of your cards from your hand!"

The cards banished by White Rose Lu Ya will return to the owner’s hand at the end of the turn.

Ever since Shen Sui’s Deep Sea Fish King appeared, every Life Card Master using the Burst Expansion Card Set would guard against the Deep Sea Fish King in their duel with Shen Sui. For them, achieving five summons was not that difficult.

Thus, in this duel, even though An Hai had a good starting hand, he had to first banish Shen Sui’s hand to guard against a wave of defense from Deep Sea Fish King.

What An Hai didn’t know was that Shen Sui’s deck for this duel didn’t include the Fish King at all, not even the regular Fish King.

An Hai glanced at Shen Sui, but there was no timing point to trigger any card effects on Shen Sui’s side, meaning the Special Summon of White Rose had gone through.

But An Hai still felt insecure and spoke again: "Next, I pay Soul Points to normal summon [Bloodthirsty Rose] from my hand, then activate the effect of [Bloodthirsty Rose] on the field, send it to the cemetery, and discard up to two cards from your hand. Then I draw the same number of cards from my deck."

With that said, An Hai sent the freshly Special Summoned Bloodthirsty Rose to the cemetery, raised his hand to discard the last two cards from Shen Sui’s hand to the cemetery, and drew two cards from his deck.

What a totally fake card.

Shen Sui watched as his two adorable [Puppets] were taken away in one go and felt terribly distressed.

"You’re going with this right off the bat, huh?" With An Hai’s aggressive first move, Shen Sui was left with no cards in hand. He clapped his hands, feeling a bit exasperated, "You can’t do this."

An Hai originally felt apologetic, but then saw the two cards Shen Sui had just discarded to the cemetery.

[Cursed Puppet·Natasha].

[Bound Holy Artifact Puppet·Naphitaya].

Instantly, An Hai was on edge.

Originally thinking he had profited, it turned out to be a pit he dug for himself.

[Cursed Puppet·Natasha] was actually fine since if An Hai didn’t help Shen Sui send it to the cemetery, Shen Sui would do it himself using the Liberation Fee method in his own turn. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

But the Holy Artifact Puppet typically relies on discard costs to send to the cemetery, so not only did An Hai help Shen Sui, he also inadvertently harmed himself.

[Bound Holy Artifact Puppet·Naphitaya], upon the start of Shen Sui’s turn when there are no cards on the field, can be activated from the cemetery to release five Followers from the field for a Special Summon from the cemetery.

That means An Hai can’t flood the field with five Followers this turn.

Well, although he guarded against the Deep Sea Fish King, he ended up with a tightrope around himself.

Already frustrated, hearing Shen Sui speak like that made An Hai respond irritably, "Don’t act innocent after gaining the upper hand, according to [Bloodthirsty Rose]’s effect, you’ll still be able to draw two cards from your deck later."

Helping the opponent stack two draws, although he also drew two cards, against a cemetery deck, this effect definitely results in the long-term loss.

But letting Shen Sui draw two cards happens only at the end of Shen Sui’s main phase, skipping the main phase allows An Hai to use some card effects to banish [Bloodthirsty Rose] from the cemetery and prevent follow-up effects from triggering.

After clearing Shen Sui’s hand, without needing to worry about the threat of hand traps, An Hai slowly began his normal unfoldings.

Recalling the painful experience of losing three Follower Cards to a single [Dragon Race’s Friendship] from Shen Sui, An Hai cautiously controlled the number of Rose Followers with [Dragon] attributes on the field this time.
