"Umu~!!"
[Heroic Spirit – Nero Claudius ★★★★★★ (Level 6)][FIRE][Warrior/Effect][ATK 2300/DEF 1900]
As Nero's summoning was completed, Hoshino immediately drew a card from her deck.
"Nero's special effect allows me to draw one card when she's summoned, provided no other monsters are on the field!"
"Neroooo!!"
[Heroic Spirit – Caligula★★★★ (Level 4)][DARK][Warrior/Effect][ATK 1500/DEF 1200]
"And with Caligula's effect: once per duel, if Nero is on the field, this card can be Special Summoned from the Graveyard or Deck!"
As the Roman Heroic Spirits continued to appear, the radiance of Hoshino's Continuous Spell Card, Vive la France, became even more dazzling.
"According to Vive la France's effect, summoning two monsters adds two Glory Counters to the card. I'll remove those counters to add Marie Antoinette from my deck to my hand!"
After adding Marie Antoinette to her hand, Hoshino raised her Command Spell, its light cutting through the oppressive darkness.
"Now comes the main event. I target Nero Claudius and remove one Command Spell counter to
With a flourish, Marik inserted a card into his Duel Disk. "I set one card face-down and end my turn!"
[Marik: 2 Cards in Hand | 1 Set Card]
[Slifer the Sky Dragon | ATK: 3000 → 2000]
Seeing Marik's move, Jonouchi leaned forward. "He didn't try to keep Slifer's attack high? He set a card instead? What a mistake!"
Mokuba joined in. "This is your chance, Hoshino! Attack now!"
However, both Yugi and Kaiba frowned, remaining silent. Marik wouldn't overlook Nero's remaining attack power of 2300, even without the theater. That set card had to be a trap designed to bait her into attacking.
"My turn! Draw!" As her turn began, one of the Command Spells on Hoshino's arm reappeared. However, with her field matching Marik's in monsters, she couldn't Special Summon Spartacus from the Graveyard.
[Command Spell ×2]
"I summon [Heroic Spirit – Mash Kyrielight] in Defense Position!" Hoshino declared. Faced with the overwhelming power of Slifer, Mash was her best option.
[Heroic Spirit – Mash Kyrielight ★★★★ (Level 4) | LIGHT | Warrior/Effect | ATK: 1000 | DEF: 2000]
Marik chuckled darkly. "The moment you summon, Slifer's effect activates! Summon Lightning Sphere!"
A spherical bolt of lightning shot out from Slifer's secondary mouth, striking Mash's shield directly.
[When a monster is summoned to your opponent's field, reduce its ATK or DEF by 2000. If this reduces it to 0, destroy that monster.]
[Mash DEF: 2000 → 0]
"Though her DEF has dropped to 0, Mash can't be destroyed while in Defense Position," Hoshino said, using Mash's shield to barely stave off Slifer's devastating attack.
