My Stubborn Soul Card Follower-Chapter 597 - 434: The Sacred Rose Is Blooming!

"My turn, draw a card." Shen Sui pouted with boredom, drew a card from the deck, and at the same time, the three cards banished by the effect of White Rose Lu Ya returned to Shen Sui’s hand.

An Hai stared intently at the four cards in Shen Sui’s hand.

He was very confident in his field and was curious about how Shen Sui would dismantle it.

Shen Sui calmly drew a card from his hand.

"My main phase." Shen Sui declared the start of his main phase, "Pay 5 Soul Points, normal summon from my hand, [Miniature Parasite Puppet]."

"Activate the effect of [Miniature Parasite Puppet]." Shen Sui pointed to [Cultivated Rose Rootstock] on An Hai’s field, "Choose your [Cultivated Rose Rootstock] as the target to activate, equip [Miniature Parasite Puppet] to this follower as an Equipment Card, and then I gain control of that follower."

Because An Hai had already activated the effect of [Cultivated Rose Rootstock] at the start of this turn, the restrictions of [Holy Rose Lu Ya] on follower card effects were nullified.

An Hai knew this, which was the flaw in Holy Rose he had considered, thus he thought of compensating through Qi’s effect.

"Then, I release [Cultivated Rose Rootstock] on my field." Shen Sui decisively released the follower card he had just obtained.

With the release of this follower, the restriction on special summoning was also lifted due to its departure from the field.

Whoa! Impressive!

An Hai felt as if he was spitting blood internally.

Countless plans for dismantling the field flashed through his mind, but he never expected Shen Sui to use this simplest and most brutal method of acquiring and then releasing to solve his restriction.

"Interesting strategy." Though feeling frustrated, An Hai couldn’t help but admire Shen Sui’s tactic, "But it still doesn’t solve the problem!"

An Hai then activated [Holy Rose Lu Ya] on his field: "Once per turn, when a [Rose] or [Rose] follower is sent to the graveyard, I can activate the effect of Holy Rose, special summoning one [Rose] or [Rose] follower from the deck. Followers special summoned by this method will be sent to the graveyard at the end of the turn."

Since the timing for summoning a Holy Artifact Puppet had passed, he could now complete the reinforcement of Seven-Colored Rose.

An Hai planned to special summon [Seven-Colored Rose·Xiaoqi], which would give him two more chances to negate Shen Sui’s card effects.

Wait! There’s a timing!

An Hai’s heart tightened. Clearly, this timing didn’t belong to him, which meant Shen Sui had a hand trap!

Sure enough, as An Hai activated the effect of Holy Rose, Shen Sui quickly drew a card from his hand: "During my main phase, when you activate the effect to special summon or search cards, I can activate the effect of [Miniature Tracking Puppet] from my hand..."

An Hai’s initial play to counter hand traps was indeed effective. If it weren’t for him using [White Rose·Lu Ya]’s effect to banish Shen Sui’s [Miniature Tracking Puppet] from his hand, Shen Sui would likely have performed a first-hand expansion during An Hai’s opening turn.

"Negate that effect, then I can special summon that follower to the field."

A cute little golden puppet with a telescope lively appeared on Shen Sui’s field.

Shen Sui then continued to activate the effect of [Miniature Tracking Puppet]. When it’s special summoned to the field by a card’s effect, Shen Sui can special summon a [Puppet] follower from the deck to the field.

"I choose to special summon from the deck." Shen Sui said as he spread out the deck and drew a follower card, "[Self-destructive Puppet]."

Shen Sui glanced at his hand, then said again: "Next, I pay Soul Points, activate Spell Card [Puppet Creation] from my hand, discard a card from my hand, choose a [Puppet] follower card from the deck to add to my hand."

He paid the Soul Points and sent his last card in hand, [Mermaid Guardian God Martina], to the graveyard.

When the [Puppet Creation] effect execution timing came, the card effect timing appeared once more, and everyone knew this timing came from An Hai’s [Holy Rose Lu Ya].

[Puppet Creation] was the first Spell Card Shen Sui used this turn, and based on the effect of Holy Rose, An Hai could negate the effect of this card.

Sure enough, without hesitation, An Hai activated the effect of Holy Rose on his field: "Activate the effect of [Holy Rose Lu Ya], negate the effect of your [Puppet Creation]."

"Good, with this, your restriction on Spell Cards is also gone." Shen Sui smirked.

An Hai gave a bitter smile, knowing Shen Sui intentionally sacrificed [Puppet Creation]. When he sent [Mermaid Guardian God Martina] to the graveyard, the mission of this Spell Card was complete; whether he could search for a [Puppet] follower card from the deck was no longer crucial.

Two consecutive defenses failed under Shen Sui’s card effects, forcing An Hai to shift his focus to [Buried Dragon Bone Rose].

Once Shen Sui’s field started to build up, An Hai would not hesitate to activate the effect of that follower card to destroy all the cards on the field.
