Chapter 41 Amidst the Alluring Fragrance (The End)
"You mean Zack showed up?"
"I'm not sure, but that's how it seems based on the descriptions from my men, even though it only appeared briefly last night."
"That's impossible! Zack's true form disappeared a long time ago, and they haven't seen him before. He's probably mixed up with some other elf. Haven't those two goblins returned yet?"
"No, they probably got killed by those bugs."
"Two useless pieces of trash! Giving them the Magic Card would be a waste! Forget it, we've captured enough elves, let's go back and report."
"The first Lord of the First Order has appeared in this world. Shouldn't we consider capturing her and taking her back? That would increase the chances of the ritual succeeding."
"...It's not the right time yet."
-----------------
"My turn, cough cough, draw a card!"
Although the nearby flames do not cause harm, they have a significant impact on Marjoram, who is a plant spirit.
"I activate the third effect of Graceful Wind, pay 1000 Life Points, and Special Summon Seraph - Rosemary from my Graveyard!"
Marjoram LP7900→6900
"Afterwards, activate the effect of Fragrant Garden 1. If I control a 'Fragrant' monster, I recover 500 Life Points. Until the end of your turn, the ATK and DEF of the monsters I control increase by 500!"
Marjoram LP6900→7400
Seraph - Rosemary ATK2000→2500
"I activate the effect of the card 【Aromatic Lilith - Heather Leaf Melaleuca】, discard it from my hand, and target Seraphim - Rosemary on my field to gain Life Points equal to half of its ATK."
Marjoram LP7400→8650
"Because I recovered my Life Points, the effect of Thirsty Winds destroyed your Magnolia on the field, and I have more Life Points than you, so the effect of Seraph - Rosemary activates! Target your Tendo on the field and negate it until the end of the turn!"
However, the white-haired little girl remained unmoved, while the face-down card in Sera's (human) back row was automatically flipped over at that moment.
"Ah, well, I activate the face-down card [Trap Hole]. This effect can be activated when a monster you Special Summon this turn activates its effect; negate that effect and destroy it."
Sera, realizing what was happening, quickly explained the effect.
"Negate the effect of Seraph - Rosemary that you Special Summoned this turn and destroy it!"
A giant spider phantom appeared, swatted away the Seraph Rosemary's staff with a single claw, and then wrapped her up in spider silk and carried her away.
"Because the Aromatic Monster was destroyed, the Aromatic Garden 2 effect restores 1000 Life Points, then activates the Aromatic Healing effect in the Graveyard, banishing this Card which summons Magnolia back to my Graveyard!"
Marjoram LP8650→9650
"After the effect of Aromatherapy is applied, I recover 500 Life Points. At the same time, with the effect of Magnolia, if I recover Life Points, all Plant-Type monsters on my field gain ATK equal to that amount until the end of the turn."
Marjoram LP9650 →
Mulan ATK2600 → 3100
"Activate the effect of Mulan, pay 2000 Life Points to activate, banish the number of cards on my field equal to the number of [Benevolent Wind], [Thirsty Wind], and [Moist Wind]!"
Marjoram LP → 8150
This time, the white-haired little girl pouted, waved her hand, and summoned back the red dragon and the giant sword, disappearing from the spot along with the flames.
"Battle begins. Mulan will now launch a direct attack on you!"
Mulan waved her staff lightly, and a wisp of pollen drifted to Sera (the human). She sniffed and sneezed.
"A chirp!"
Sera (human) LP7700→4600
"Entering Main Phase Two, the effect of Rose Maiden in the Graveyard: If I have a Plant-Type monster on my field, return it to my hand, and then I declare the end of my turn."
"My turn, draw a card, uh..."
【Explosive Armor】
She insisted on putting this card in her deck despite her teacher's advice, and now she's stuck with it.
I should have listened to the teacher!
"Emmm, I surrender."
Sera (human) is still a novice, lacking in both deck building and dueling skills.
The duel is over.
Ma Yulan wiped the sweat from her forehead; she had just been worried that Sera (the human) would pull out another Lord-level being.
"Haha, little sister Sera's duel is really... uh, unexpected..."
Back to morning.
"Hmm, Xiaoya is still working on her deck, right? Take these cards and go upstairs to practice with Albus. While you're at it, revise your deck and I'll have a chat with you about the system."
Xing Liang dismissed Xing Ya, explaining that the matter at hand was serious and that she was just a child and didn't need to worry about it.
"Oh, then hurry up!"
She went upstairs, looking back every few steps. Although she really wanted to hear what they were talking about, seeing Xing Liang staring at her, she could only pout and sullenly knock on the door of the guest room where Albus and the Saintess were.
"Hey, get up and fight!"
The saintess who opened the door and Albus, who was resting in bed, were both bewildered.
"Alright, Xiaoya has left now. Can you answer my question now, Your Majesty?"
Xing Liang, still looking at the stairwell, spoke with his back to the system.
"...I don't know why either, I just found your sister by sensing her presence."
She did not deny the title.
"Is the sensor... that card?"
Xing Ya was curious about the cards Xing Liang played with every day, and seeing her interest, he taught her how to play. Before teaching Xing Ya how to play Yu-Gi-Oh!, he gave her a card.
【The Fearful Dragon - The Queen of the Nail-like Dragons】
Xing Ya kept the card with her at all times afterward, as if it were a talisman.
Was it a problem with that card? No, there are plenty of people with the Queen's Card, why did he specifically choose his silly sister?
There are other reasons.
"Sensation, what did you sense?"
“My magic card is near Xiaoya, so I can open the ‘door’ to her. The reason I found her is that I sensed the aura of an eleventh-tier being on her. Her planet had fallen into ‘stagnation’ for some unknown reason. At that time, I was in a weak state and was no longer able to open the ‘door’ again. Her body was ‘stagnant’, so I could only bring her soul here alone and find her a new body.”
"The eleventh rank? You need to see [Executioner]?"
“I’m looking for Liang Long. Liang Long once underwent the eleventh-level trial, and he also has the aura of [Execution] on him. By the way, you also have this aura on you.”
Xing Liang knew that the twelve ranks corresponded to twelve spirits, and that [Execution] should also correspond to a certain monster card, but he had no recollection of it at all.
[Execution]... Which monster is related to execution? [Lightning Executioner]? [Executioner - Moshura]? No, the levels don't match.
Related to [execution], Level 11…
He had a terrible headache. He remembered having such a card, but he couldn't recall it at all.
"I have the aura of execution on me? Are you sure you're not mistaken?!"
His headache made him unconsciously raise his voice, and his tone revealed his annoyance.
“I am certain, to be precise, that the aura of execution on you all comes from the former eleventh rank, and I have seen Him with my own eyes, so there is no way I could be wrong.”
"System," or rather, "Queen," replied with great certainty.
"Damn it!"
His head was throbbing more and more; something was preventing him from remembering.
In their subsequent conversation, he learned that the Fearmaker Spirits had been forced to separate due to an enemy attack. Originally, the Queen only had a few Fearmaker Cards, but after she brought Xing Ya to the Basic World, Liang Long appeared using his own card from the Queen. He gave her all the Fearmaker Cards and then disappeared. Those cards were the very ones Xing Liang had lost before.
"So everything is related to Liang Long. Where is that guy now?"
Xing Liang gritted his teeth and said.
"I don't know. We originally thought he and the Tyrannosaurus Rex would be on this planet, but we can't find them anywhere after we got here. My senses are being interfered with."
The Queen shook her head helplessly.
As the Queen of the Fearsome Peptides, she can sense the location of all the Fearsome Peptide Spirits. After Liang Long underwent the trial, his original aura was covered by [Execution]. After bringing Xing Ya to the Basic World, she had been searching for Liang Long by locating the Tyrannosaurus Rex, but now the Tyrannosaurus Rex's location no longer exists in her perception.
Something was preventing her from searching.
