"After two years, I finally have the chance to compete with Jack again! Now, let me use this card deck I accidentally obtained during training to compete with you!"

After opening the wooden box, Shirley took out a set of cards stored inside. After confirming that everything was correct, she turned and walked towards her D-wheel car.

"Aki, Miona, I'm leaving!"

"Come on, Shirley!"

"It's all thanks to you, Sister Shirley!"

Shirley gave her two teammates a confident smile, then started the engine of the "Emperor Knight" and rushed out of the Rose Maiden's maintenance station.

"Rozen Maiden's second runner-up has appeared. She is the current student council president of the Sanctuary Duel Academy, known as the strongest empress—Shirley Leblanc!"

As Hiroshi Tsuda announced, Shirley soon appeared behind Jack driving a D-wheeled vehicle.

"Jack, this duel is my battle of revenge. I will make you taste the humiliation you once brought upon me!"

"Hmph, Shirley, don't forget, you're just my defeated opponent. Do you really think you can bridge the huge gap between us? That's ridiculous. If you can do it, then go ahead and give it a try!"

As former rivals, Shirley and Jack can be considered old acquaintances in the duel arena.

Because of this, the two duelists didn't exchange many words. After catching up with Jack, Shirley immediately declared that it was her turn.

"My turn, draw a card!"

【High-speed counting point Jack 7】 (beat points)

【High-speed counting point Shirley 7】

"First, I'm going to send a Trap Card from my hand to the Graveyard, then Special Summon Lisette of Shiraki from my hand in Defense Position!"

Shirley then explained after special summoning a small loli monster from the Magician clan to her front field.

"The effect of Lisette of White Forest's monster is: I can activate it by sending a Spell or Trap Card from my hand or field to the Graveyard. I can Special Summon this monster from my hand. After that, I can also add one White Forest monster other than Lisette of White Forest from my deck to my hand."

"According to this effect, the monster I'm going to add to my hand is Lisette, the Saint of White Forest!"

After retrieving a monster into her hand, Shirley then slapped the card that popped out of the graveyard onto the Duel Disk.

"This is the special effect of Bai Sen's Bane, a trap card in the graveyard!"

"Once per turn, if this card is sent to the Graveyard due to the effect of a monster, I can place this card on my field."

"Next, I will Normal Summon Shiraki's Sylvie in Attack Position!" (Attack 1500, Defense 200)

Normally summoning a female magician monster, Shirley added a card that popped out of her deck to her hand.

"Bai Sen's Sylvie monster effect activated!"

"When this monster is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned, I can add a White Forest Spell Card or Trap Card from my deck to my hand."

"Based on this effect, the card I want to add to my hand is the Magic Card Baisen's Strange Tales!"

Although there are restrictions on the use of magic cards in high-speed duels, the magic cards of the Baisen series can be used more than just to activate their effects.

"Saint Lisette of White Forest activates her monster effect!"

"By showing this card from your hand to your opponent, you can activate this card and Special Summon 1 White Forest Monster or Saint Monster from your hand."

"Using this effect, I will Special Summon Saint Lisette of Shiraki in Attack Position!" (Attack 0, Defense 0)

Three monsters gathered on the field in an instant, and Shirley raised her hand and pointed at the two monsters in the front field.

"Saint Lisette of White Forest activates her monster effect!"

"During my Main Phase, I can Fusion Summon 1 Saint Fusion Monster using monsters from my hand or on the field as Fusion Materials."

"According to this effect, I will send this card itself and the monster Card Whiteson's Astraea in my hand to the Graveyard as Fusion Materials!"

"The white forest will be shrouded in darkness, and this will be the beginning of disaster!"

"Fusion Summon, descend, Saint of Death, Mlucielag, in defense position!" (Attack 2000, Defense 2500)

"What? It's a fusion summon?"

I didn't expect Shirley to use fusion summoning. Just when Jack showed a vigilant look, he heard a series of "clicking" sounds coming from the fusion space above the high-speed track.

Accompanied by an insect-like buzzing sound, a fantasy demon monster with huge wings and an insect-like appearance appeared in front of Shirley.

"Saint of Death? Mlucielag's special effect activated!"

"This card can be activated when it is Fusion Summoned. I can add a Saint card or Sin Treasure card from my deck to my hand."

"According to this effect, I will add the continuous magic card Sin's Deception from my deck to my hand!"

After successfully and accurately retrieving a card, Shirley then looked at the other two monsters in front of her.

"The 2-star monster Lisette of White Mori and the 4-star monster Sylvie of White Mori are switching their stars!"

(2+4=6)

"The ancient fairy tale will now become reality, and the forest of fantasy will reveal its sharp thorns!"

"Synchronous Summon, Reveal Yourself, Bai Sen's Demonic Nature? Luciela, Attack Position!" (Attack 2000, Defense 1500)

Shirley used Synchro Summon to Special Summon a Witch Monster with bat wings from the Extra Deck, and then activated the special effect of this monster.

"Bai Sen's evil nature? Activate the Luciela monster effect!"

"When this monster is Special Summoned, I can activate this by sending a Spell or Trap Card from my hand or field to the Graveyard, then add a White Mori Card or a Spellcaster-Type Light monster from my Deck to my hand."

"According to this effect, I will send the Continuous Spell Card, Sin's Deception, from my hand to the Graveyard, and then add the Monster Card, Astraea, from my Deck to my hand!"

After gathering two Level 6 Fusion Monsters and Synchro Monsters on her front field, Shirley looked at Jack with a sneer.

"Jack, come and see the new power I've gained through hard training!"

"SP High Speed Spell - High Speed Fusion special effect activated!"

"This card can only be used when the High Speed Counter is 4 or higher. I can send the cards used as Fusion Materials to the Graveyard and then Special Summon a Fusion Monster from the Extra Deck!"

"This monster requires a Level 6 Fusion Monster and a Synchro Monster. Now, I'm sending Bai Sen's Demonic Luciela and Death Saint Mlucielag to the Graveyard as fusion materials!"

"Oh, thorn flower blooming in the dark forest, devour everything in your endless wail!"

"Fusion Summon, Reveal Yourself, Saint Thistlelord, Attack Position!" (Attack 0, Defense 4000)

Swish!

Accompanied by a burst of rapid sounds, the fusion space once again cut through the sky like lightning and suddenly appeared above the high-speed track.

And in this shocking scene, the two monsters rushed in like meteors, their figures intertwined and entangled in the air, and finally merged perfectly together.

In an instant, a dazzling light flashed, and a huge cluster of flowers appeared in the originally empty space in front of them!

This cluster of flowers is like a sea of blooming flowers, with layers of petals overlapping and colorful, beautiful beyond words. However, beneath this gorgeous appearance, endless dangers are hidden.

I saw countless vines with sharp thorns, like poisonous snakes, spreading rapidly from the flower clusters, with their fangs and claws bared, as if they wanted to devour everything.

As the flower cluster gradually unfolds, the center of the flower cluster that was originally hidden inside gradually reveals its true appearance.

What is shocking is that among these flowers, there is a half-female monster standing!

Her upper body was that of a beautiful woman with a pretty face, but revealing a ferocious and terrifying look; her lower body was made up of countless vines woven together, and these vines supported her huge body like her legs.

Saint Thistle Lord!

Like the embodiment of corruption, this monster exists to kill everything!

"Saint Thistle Lord's special effect activated!"

After Special Summoning one of her Ace Monsters with a Fusion Summon, Shirley then announced, "As long as this card is in the Monster Zone, your opponent cannot target this card, cards on the opponent's field, in the Graveyard, or in the Banished State with its effects."

"Also, during your or your opponent's turn when this monster is Fusion Summoned, I can Special Summon 1 Saint monster of Level 9 or lower from the Deck or Extra Deck."

"According to this effect, I will Special Summon this monster from the Extra Deck!"

Placing another Fusion Monster onto the Duel Disk, Shirley said loudly, "O Saint of the Dark Forest, wielding the Blade of Judgment, destroy everything with endless slaughter!"

"Show yourself, Saint of Slaughter, Mole Regina, attack!" (Attack 3000, Defense 2000)

"What? This monster can actually be special summoned from the extra deck as a fusion monster?" Jack's face changed instantly as he watched a terrifying monster with steel wings emerge from the black thorns.

Due to the restrictions of the Mounted Duel rules, the Fusion Deck is not a very strong deck at this stage. After all, activating a magic card requires paying 2000 life points. Under such rules, the only situations where there is no cost are the effects of the monster itself and the effect of the High-Speed Spell - High-Speed Fusion.

Although he had a bad feeling, after noticing the monster's attack power, he still managed to hold on and shout at Shirley, "The Slaughter Saint? Regina's attack power is only 3000 points, and the Saint Thistle Lord's attack power is a pitiful 0 points. With just a monster like that, it's no match for the Crimson Dragon!"

"Hmph, is that really the case?" Shirley raised her lips in a charming smile as she pointed to her frontcourt and said, "I forgot to mention that Saints of Thistle has the effect of allowing the opposing player to bear the damage they take. Jack, do you understand what this means?"

Jack: “!!!”

"Tsk, what a troublesome effect!"

"Hehe, more troubles are yet to come!"

Pointing to another monster in front of her, Shirley shouted, "Saint of Slaughter? Activate the special effect of Moore Regina!"

"Once per turn, this monster can target a Fantasy Demon-Type monster in your Graveyard other than this card, and I can Special Summon that monster."

"Now, return to the field, Saint Lisette of Baisen!"

After Special Summoning a Key Monster from the Graveyard back to her own field, Shirley then revealed a card that popped up from the Graveyard.

"Bai Sen's Sylvie's special effect activated!"

During your or your opponent's turn, if this card is in the Graveyard, you can activate this effect by targeting 1 White Forest Synchro Monster you control or in the Graveyard. Return that monster to the Extra Deck, negate the effect of this card, and Special Summon it.

"Now, I'm going to return the Synchro Monster White Mori's Demonic Luciela from the Graveyard to the Extra Deck and Special Summon this monster!"

"2-star monster White Mori's Saint Lisette and 4-star tuner monster White Mori's Sylvie tune the stars!"

(2+4=6)

"O Holy White Wolf of the Dark Forest, strike down this endless darkness with the swiftness of a raging wind!"

"Sinclo summons, appear, Baisen's demon wolf? Sylvia!" (Attack 1900 Defense 2400)

It was completely different from the dark creature summoned before. As the six stars gradually formed a row in the sky, a demi-human girl wearing a black and white dress and golden wolf ears appeared in front of Shirley riding a magic wolf.

"Bai Sen's Demonic Wolf? Sylvia's special effect activated!"

"When this monster is Special Summoned, you can change all face-up monsters on your opponent's field to face-down Defense Position."

"Also, while this card is in the Monster Zone, increase the ATK of a Phantasmagoric-Type or Spellcaster-Type Synchro Monster on your side of the field by 500 points. If it attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict Battle Damage to your opponent equal to twice the amount by which its Defense exceeded its Attack."

As Shirley spoke, the demon wolf suddenly let out a heart-shaking wolf howl. Under the effect of the sound waves, the three monsters in front of Jack were directly changed in their appearance.

"Tsk! Shirley has grown a lot!"

Jack's Crimson Lotus series has extremely powerful offensive power, but after being flipped, the value of these three monsters has obviously been greatly reduced.

Of course, having said that, the Crimson Lotus Monster in defense position, even as a protective shield wall, is not something that can be easily broken through.
