Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: Duellists Beyond the Light 26

Chapter 26: Speed 26, Game Over

“Swish———”

“My turn! Draw!”

“Activate continuous trap card—Restriction Resurrection!”

“Special Summon one monster with ATK less than 1000 from the Graveyard in attack position!”

“I choose to revive—Magical Striker!!”

Seeing You Qing summon this three-star trash monster again, Dankel Jin sneered, “I’ve already said it, your combo is useless. Even if you revive that Ally monster again, you can’t destroy my field!”

You Qing shook his head and replied, “Your duel is too self-centered, and too one-dimensional. My purpose in reviving Magical Striker isn’t what you think.”

“You brat… dare to lecture me?” Dankel Jin’s face darkened. “I want to see what new tricks you can pull!”

“Swish——————————”

You Qing revealed a monster card and slammed it on the Duel Disk:

“Using Magical Striker as a tribute, summon in defense mode—Dark Noble!!”

“Then activate Double Summon, I can perform two normal summons this turn.”

“Set one monster face-down in defense position. End turn!!”

【Dark Noble】
【Five Stars】
【Dark Attribute/Undead】
【ATK/DEF: 2000/1400】

An elegant yet eerie and terrifying vampire duke descended before You Qing. Seeing this obscure monster, everyone was stunned; almost no one had ever seen this card before.

However, Dikede, who was watching the duel,’s eyes lit up. This card was in his deck.

Dark Noble’s ability is to let the controller choose the target of an opponent’s monster’s attack. Dikede’s own Machine-type deck contained various “mine” monsters.

By summoning Dark Noble, he could force the opponent’s monster to attack those mines, achieving a double combo of card destruction and Life Point reduction!!

Dikede was excited.

You Qing must have understood his deck construction!!

Then, the face-down defense monster should be one of his most prized cards—Sphere Limit Bomb!!

“Huh? Another obscure thing?” Dankel Jin sneered disdainfully. “Two thousand ATK isn’t enough to even scratch me!”

“Under the effect of the field spell card—Legendary City – Atlantis, the ATK of Aqua Mad Dragon is boosted to 2300!”

“With a single blow, your disgusting Undead monster will be destroyed~”

“My turn! Draw!!”

“Summon in attack position—Dark Fortress Whale!!”

“Due to the field’s effect, its Level is reduced to four stars, so it can be summoned without any tributes!!”

【Dark Fortress Whale】
【Five Stars】
【Water Attribute/Sea Serpent】
【ATK/DEF: 2100/1200】

“Beep beep beep beep——————————”

【Dark Fortress Whale, ATK: 2100→2300】

“Battle!!” Dankel Jin shouted, “Smash that ridiculous bat! Dark Fortress Whale!!”

“Attack Dark Noble!!”

“Torpedo Assault!!”

“Boom boom boom boom————————————”

Water splashed, countless bubbles formed as torpedoes flew towards the enemy!

But facing the barrage, Dark Noble simply smiled mysteriously, using its crimson wings like a cape, and with a gentle sweep…

The next second, a shocking scene unfolded. The torpedoes all changed direction and bombarded the other monster on You Qing’s field!!

Due to the attack, the face-down defense monster flipped over, revealing a fluffy white cotton candy monster. It easily neutralized the opponent’s attack and dealt 1000 points of damage to Dankel Jin!

【Cotton Candy】
【Three Stars】
【Light Attribute/Angel】
【ATK/DEF: 300/500】

“Boom——————————————”

“Beep beep beep beep————————”

【Dankel Jin, LP: 3400→2400】

“Huh? Not a bomb but this thing?” Dikede laughed.

“What?!” Taking the unexpected blow, Dankel Jin roared incomprehensibly, “What’s going on?! I clearly didn’t attack that monster!”

You Qing smiled faintly:

“Dark Noble’s effect: As long as this card is on the field, the target of the opponent’s monster’s attack is chosen by its controller.”

“Therefore, Dark Fortress Whale’s true target was the monster I set—Cotton Candy.”

“When Cotton Candy, in face-down defense position, is attacked, it inflicts 1000 damage to the attacking duelist, and this monster is not destroyed by battle.”

Dankel Jin’s face couldn’t hold its composure anymore.

What kind of background does this kid have?

In this day and age, he’s actually dueling with a bunch of random cards?!

Yet these random cards somehow formed a bizarre system?

The onlookers vaguely saw the pattern, some even wanted to bet on You Qing, but the betting on this duel had been closed since last turn.

Leaning against an old sofa in the corner, a fat man with a toothpick in his mouth smiled with amusement. Before him was a stack upon stack of cash.

Because a crowd was blocking his view, he couldn’t see You Qing dueling, but his shrewdness allowed him to make a judgment—this newcomer was not simple.

At the wooden table, several people who bet heavily on Dankel Jin were panicking. Some loudly encouraged him, while others cursed.

Until now, the newcomer hadn’t lost a single Life Point, but Dankel Jin had already lost almost half his LP! If this continued, they would lose everything!

“What the hell is going on? Taking bribes?!”

“Jin! Don’t fight so poorly! Quickly finish him off!”

Dankel Jin’s eyes darkened.

Dark Noble can change the target of attacks, Cotton Candy can’t be destroyed by battle…

If that brat revives that three-star trash monster again, he could endlessly whittle down his Life Points!

No!

He had to get rid of those two annoying monsters quickly!

“Activate magic card—Foolish Burial!” Dankel Jin shouted, “Send Torpedo Fish from the deck to the Graveyard! End turn!”

It was You Qing’s turn again. A magic card came at just the right moment. He immediately revealed the card and began his “Turtle Shell Direct Attack Combo”: “Activate magic card—Warrior’s Return!”

“Add one Warrior-type monster from the Graveyard to your hand, then banish this card from the Graveyard!”

“Special Summon Magical Striker from my hand!!”

“Enter Battle Phase! Direct attack!!”
