Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with a Hellish Deck, Depressing the World
"The Shadow Duel begins now! The mark of the Crimson Dragon, and the life of Crow, are at stake!"
On the tall, ancient altar in the distance opposite, Goodwin's chuckle quickly rang out as he raised his hands and spoke.
"As agreed before, if you Crow, lose, then your soul will become food for my Earthbound Immortal!"
"Of course, if you win, I'll release those brats from the Satellite!"
Upon hearing his words, even the orange-haired, spiky-haired Crow, in the dark purple flames of the dueling arena some distance away, couldn't help but grit his teeth.
The Duel Disk, glowing red, was deployed ahead of schedule, its gaze fixed directly on Akiza Izinski!
"Duel!"
"Duel!"
As Akiza Izinski and Crow simultaneously raised their Duel Disk and solemnly announced their arrival, each drawing five starting cards from their respective Duel Disk.
Both sides quickly displayed the same [4000LP] health bar!
Seeing this, Jiang He did not try to stop it at all!
In any case, the price of the Shadow Duel was merely that Akiza Izinski's Mark of the Crimson Dragon was taken away.
He had been thinking anyway that if he had the chance, he could help Qiu remove this unreliable mark...!
As for the orange-haired, spiky-haired Crow losing, it's not a particularly troublesome situation either.
If souls die as food or sacrifices to Earthbound Immortal, then as long as we deal with that cunning old fox Goodwin and the King of the Netherworld,
The opponent will then be automatically resurrected!
Therefore, Jiang He was not worried at all about what might happen.
Even the real damage that Shadow Duel might cause,
He was even able to use the Aesir protection power of his Runick Eyes - Thor's Mark to help protect Akiza Izinski!
The only one who would actually get hurt and be in pain for a while was that unlucky old man, the orange-haired, spiky-haired Crow.
If Crow, with his orange hair and spiky hair, knew about Jiang He's outrageous actions, he would definitely have given him a torrent of complaints.
Then I really thank you!
"My first move, draw a card!"
The next second, Akiza Izinski immediately seized the initiative and drew cards from her own Duel Disk deck.
0 ·····Requesting flowers····· ·
Immediately after glancing at the card she had drawn, she slapped it directly onto her Duel Disk!
"I summon the Tuner monster, [Rose, Warrior of Revenge], in Attack Position!"
"Drink!!"
As a vortex of blue light appeared, a short, young knight-monster figure wearing black armor and a white cloak, wielding a toy short sword, emerged from it!
He appeared in front of Akiza Izinski with a low growl!
[Rose, Warrior of Revenge]
[Star Rating: 3]
[Attribute: Dark]
[Attack Power: 1000]
[Defense Strength: 1000]
"Next, activate the effect of [Rose, Warrior of Revenge]. When it is successfully summoned, you can Special Summon one Level 4 or lower Plant-Type monster from your hand!"
I choose to Special Summon this Level 3 Plant-Type monster from my hand, [Guard Hedge] Defense Position!
As he spoke, Akiza Izinski immediately took out a card from her remaining five cards and held it out between two fingers!
"Appear, [Guard Hedge]!"
"Waaaaaah!!"
As another vortex of blue light appeared, a brownish-red, bamboo-like plant monster emerged from it!
It appeared in the field before her, whimpering and calling out softly!
[Guard Hedge]
[Star Rating: 3]
[Attribute: Earth]
[Attack Power: 0]
[Defense Strength: 2100]
"A Level 3 Tuner monster, and a Level 3 Normal monster... Is it time to summon that Level 6 Synchro Monster, [Splendid Rose]?"
Seeing that Akiza Izinski had gathered two Synchro Material Monsters on the field at once,
Having witnessed the duels between Akiza Izinski twice before, Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, and Bastion Misawa immediately guessed that it was Yuki.

Even the orange-haired, spiky-haired Crow, his dueling opponent in the distance, had the same guess!
While he was being threatened by Goodwin, he received a lot of information about Akiza Izinski's deck from him.
This includes information about some of the cards that Akiza Izinski used in her public duels!
As Akiza Izinski's two ace Synchro Monster, besides the Level 7 [Black Rose Dragon],
The only one left is that Level 6 Synchro Monster, [Splendid Rose], which can reduce the ATK of one monster on your opponent's field by half, except for one Plant-Type monster in your Graveyard!
However, the next second,
But then, Akiza Izinski summoned a monster called "220" that was completely unexpected!
"Synchro the Level 3 Tuner monster [Rose, Warrior of Revenge] and the Level 3 Normal monster [Guard Hedge]!"
"Drink!!"
As Akiza Izinski raised her hand in a gesture...
In front of him, the black-armored, white-cloaked toy sword-wielding knight monster figure suddenly let out a low shout, raised its short sword, and flew into the air.
It transformed into three green halos and three level stars.
The brown bamboo fence beside it also flew upwards, landing within the three green light circles and transforming into orange-yellow bone patterns.
It revealed its 3-star rating, quickly placing it alongside the 3-star [Rose, Warrior of Revenge]!
"Let the thorns sprout from the depths of hell, drawing upon the enemy's pain to bloom!"
"Synchro Summon, appear! [Hell Bramble]!"
"Um!!"
As Akiza Izinski finished speaking, the six stars that were side by side in the three green halos suddenly connected and lit up with a dazzling beam of light!
Soon, a large number of yellow and green thorny vines flew out and took root in the ground below, revealing the figure of a mature monster wearing a floral dress made of bright red flowers and yellow and green thorns, and covered with thorny leaves!
A low, muffled shout appeared in front of her on the field!
Even its hands were pincers formed of thorns and roses, making it look extremely intimidating!
[Hell Bramble]
[Star Rating: 6]
[Attribute: Light]
[Attack Power: 2200]
[Defense Strength: 1800]
"What?! [Hell Bramble]!"
Upon seeing the completely unfamiliar plant- Synchro Monster summoned by Akiza Izinski, neither Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, nor Bastion Misawa could contain their shock.
Even from a distance, Crow, who was his dueling opponent, was startled and showed a completely bewildered expression!
Of all the information they had, there was absolutely no mention of this monster!
Jiang He, however, was not surprised at all; in fact, he even showed a knowing smile.
Even Alexis Rhodes and Rei Saotome, who were also aware of the situation, showed the same calm expression!
On the distant altar platform opposite, Goodwin, who had originally intended to check the situation first, couldn't help but be surprised!
However, he quickly seemed to remember something and looked at Jiang He!
"That's one of the six rare cards collected by the Security Maintenance Bureau that I traded for when I helped Jack Atlas retrieve the [Red Dragon Archfiend] as part of the Crimson Dragon Revival Ritual plan?!"
"They actually gave such a rare card to Akiza Izinski...!"
During the previous Fortune Cup World Duel Tournament, Jack Atlas had his [Red Dragon Archfiend] temporarily taken away after his duel with Jiang He.
They indirectly ripped him off.
In order for the plan to fully revive the Crimson Dragon to succeed, and to keep Prince Jiang He in check,
He specifically used six rare cards from the Security Maintenance Bureau's collection as an exchange to help Jack Atlas retrieve [Red Dragon Archfiend]...!
Goodwin hadn't considered this matter when he provided Crow with the information!
"[Hell Bramble]'s special effect: While it is on the field, if either player Summons or Special Summon a monster other than Plant-type,..."
Therefore, 1000 LP of health must be paid as a price before summoning!
Akiza Izinski quickly smiled and said, "..."
"What?! It's a monster from the underworld that summons and restricts abilities?!"
Meanwhile, on the other side, in the distance, his dueling opponent, the orange-haired, spiky-haired Crow, was immediately taken aback upon hearing this!
His face began to involuntarily wear a mask of pain!
In other words, as long as this plant monster with the effect of the underworld exists, it will be unable to be summoned once its HP drops below 1000!
Moreover, even before that, each summoned unit required a cost of 1000 LP (Limited Life Points)!
His Blackwing deck excels at constantly Special Summon monsters and combining them with monster effects and traps to launch various powerful attacks and counterattacks!
Now that this monster has appeared, it's practically impossible to say that it has completely restricted his limbs!
And judging from the looks of it, Akiza Izinski definitely has other hidden cards or something to work with this monster...!
Having also heard about the effects described by Akiza Izinski,
Even the people watching from a distance, such as Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, and Jack Atlas, couldn't help but have strange expressions on their faces!
He subconsciously glanced at Jiang He, who was nodding with a satisfied look on his face!
Many of them secretly wanted to complain!
