Yu-Gi-Oh!: I've Been Kidnapped by the Spirits and Taken to Duel City

Chapter 10 Sunlight Duelist

Mio Yosaki laughed, "You probably thought that a Gemini Monster needs a Normal Summon to activate its effect, but I've already used up my Normal Summon chance this turn, so I'm out of options, aren't I?"

"Just you wait and see, I'm activating my Spell Card, Double Summon!"

Mio Yosaki inserts a card into the Duel Disk: "Spell Card, Double Summon activated!"

"This turn, I can perform two Normal Summons!"

She pointed to the giant plant on the field: "I'm Normal Summoning this card once again!"

The giant plant in the duel arena was summoned twice, and the entire plant roared joyfully.

With its status refreshed, the mantis-like scythes on its body bared their fangs and claws, seemingly eager to help its master defeat the opponent.

A card pops out of Yosaki Mio's graveyard:

"After I activate the effect of Giant Plant following my Double Summon, once per turn during my Main Phase, Special Summon one Plant or Insect monster from my Deck or Graveyard!"

She drew a card from the graveyard and showed it to Kagura Kiryu; "I choose to revive the Plant Lion from the graveyard!"

The giant plant jumped back onto the duel disk again, its flower buds wilted, and let out a listless roar.

This monster is definitely the hardest worker in this duel, being sent to the graveyard every turn and then making a fancy comeback to return to the field.

"Plant Lion's effect: Increases ATK by 300 for each Plant-Type monster on your field!"

Kagura Kiryu said, "You have two Plant-type monsters on your field: Giant Plant and Plant Lion."

"That's right! Therefore, the Plant Lion's attack power increases by 600 points!"

[Plant Lion, Attack Power 1600 → Attack Power 2200]

The lion roared, feeling confident that it was invincible again.

Hmph, it couldn't beat it by itself just now, but now that there are two of them against one, it might not be a match for them!

"However, their attack power is still not as high as my Dark Magician's."

[Dark Magician, Attack Power 2500]

The plant lion looked dejected again and turned to look at its owner.

Master, quickly use your invincible Plant-type deck to think of a solution!

Sure enough, its owner did not disappoint it.

Yosaki Mio waved her hand: "Open the face-down card, Trap Card, Plant Chain Activation."

The red trap was opened; this was the first card she had ever covered.

"After this card is activated, it becomes an Equip Card that increases your ATK by 500. Equip it to one Plant-type monster on your field!"

Her slender finger pointed at the giant plant: "Equip the giant plant!"

[Giant Plant, Attack Power 2400 → Attack Power 2900]

The onlookers erupted in excitement: "A monster with an attack power of 2900, it's only 100 points away from being as powerful as the legendary Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"

"As expected of a top-four finalist nationwide, the duelist known as the Queen of Plants!"

Kagura Kiryu clapped his hands in praise, "So strong, absolutely amazing!"

I activated the Magic Cylinder directly... well, he didn't have that card.

However, his praise was also sincere. In the DM era, being able to execute such a combo was a testament to both strategy and combat prowess, making one a true powerhouse.

"Hmph! Even if you praise me, I won't hold back!"

Yosaki Mio tried hard to suppress the smirk on her face. To be praised by an enemy was an honor for a duelist, especially a formidable foe like Kagura Kiryu.

"Fight! I..."

Just as Yosaki Mio entered the battle phase, she was interrupted by Kagura Kiryu.

"Wait, at this very moment, I activate the face-down card, Damage Slimming!"

Before the opponent could declare an attack, Kagura Kiryu activated his face-down card: "This turn, the damage I receive is halved!"

"It's pointless! First of all, the giant plant is attacking the Black Magician!"

Yosaki Mio issued a declaration of attack.

The giant plant immediately brandished its scythes and attacked the black magician. The black magician dodged nimbly, but was eventually at a disadvantage and was struck by a scythe.

Kagura Kiryu, overwhelmed by the 3D image, raised his hand to shield his eyes: "It will damage the slimming effect, but the damage I suffer will be halved!"

The attack power of both sides differs by 400, but because it has been halved, therefore...

[Kagura Kiryu: LP4000→LP3800]

For the first time, Kagura Kiryu experienced the pain of being hurt, and it was quite intense. No wonder people always screamed during duels; it was because it hurt.

"Black Magician! Defeat!"

Yosaki Mio said smugly, "You have no monsters on your field anymore. Plant Lion, attack directly!"

The plant lion pounced excitedly, its jaws wide open. "So you're the one who made me jump around in the graveyard, huh?! Get ready!"

Kagura Kiryu instinctively raised his hand to cover his mouth: "Uh..."

He gritted his teeth: "It will harm the weight loss effect, but the damage will be halved!"

[Kagura Kiryu: LP3800→LP2700]

"Yosh, now the Plant Queen's health points are only 100 points lower than his."

"As expected of the Queen of Plants, she actually defeated the Dark Magician!"

"He summoned monsters with 2900 and 2200 attack power in just one turn! That's incredible!"

Yosaki Mio instinctively puffed out her chest with pride, then shook it slightly: "I'll set my remaining two cards face down, turn over! Let me see how you break this deadlock!"

Two more set cards in the back row, their dark surfaces resembling vengeful spirits.

Kagura Kiryu: "My turn, draw a card!"

His smile became sunny and cheerful, like a kind and gentle anime protagonist: "Very well, let Mio-nee witness my duelist spirit!"

Mio Yosaki, infected by the infection, chuckled softly, "Come on!"

Kagura Kiryu played a card, exclaiming energetically, "Spell Card: Mind Control activated! Pay 800 LP and gain control of one of your monsters before the end of your turn!"

The dueling arena was instantly filled with a sense of sunshine and justice, as the card art depicted a pair of green demonic hands manipulating an exposed brain. Hmm, this is definitely a card a champion of justice would use.

[Kagura Kiryu: LP2700→LP1900]

"I choose your giant plants on the field; come, use them to my advantage!"

Yosaki Mio: ...You bastard!

In such an exciting and passionate situation, you pull out a brainwashing technique?

You have such a handsome face, yet you're such a despicable duelist!

She scoffed, "Don't even think about it. Open the faceplate, counter-trap, mana drain!"

"You can only activate this effect when your opponent activates a Spell Card. Negate that activation and destroy it!"

After saying that, she looked at Kagura Kiryu's hand with some wariness: "However, you can also choose to discard a magic card to nullify the magic draw effect."

Kagura Kiryu glanced at his hand: "I won't discard them."

The brainwashing card was neutralized and sent to the graveyard. Yosaki Mio felt relieved; it seemed that this kid didn't have any magic cards in his hand.

But then, a bright smile appeared on Kagura Kiryu's lips: "Then I'll activate this card in my hand, Mind Change."

"Before the end of the turn, gain control of one of your opponent's monsters."

He innocently declared, "Of course, I chose the giant plant!"

Yasaki Mio:......

You M (interjection)
