Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: Duellists Beyond the Light 73

Chapter 73: Speed 72 Pursuit

Rings of light descended, and a new Next Generation monster was teleported onto the battlefield. It waved its hands, seemingly possessing some special ability.

[Allied Forces・Next Generation Converter]
[Three Stars]
[Dark Attribute/Machine Type]
[ATK/DEF: 1200/800]

“I activate the effect of Allied Forces・Next Generation Converter!” You Qing declared loudly. “Once per turn, change one face-up monster on the field to the attribute I declare! I’ll change your Hell Double-Cop to Light Attribute!!”

“Nani?!” Niu Wei Zhe was stunned, unable to react.

You Qing was using a Next Generation deck, its core being the Synchro Summoning of monsters with different effects using different attribute materials.

But why wasn’t this kid changing his own monsters? What was the point of this?!

Just as he was puzzled, You Qing revealed another face-down card: “Continuous Trap Card—Dark Dimension’s Liberation!!”

“Special Summon one banished Dark Attribute monster to my field!!”

“I choose the recently banished Next Generation Controller!!”

“I will perform a Synchro Summon using the three-star Next Generation Controller and the three-star Next Generation Converter!!”

“The ultimate Allied Forces weapon!!”

“Crushing the enemy with mutated elements!!”

“Level 6!! Allied Forces・Next Generation Three Musketeers!!!”

[Allied Forces・Next Generation Three Musketeers]
[Six Stars]
[Dark Attribute/Machine Type]
[ATK/DEF: 2400/1600]

Dark Dimension’s Liberation?!

Niu Wei Zhe’s eyes narrowed.

This kid actually had this card?!

But after a moment’s thought, he understood a bit.

In Next Generation decks, more than one Next Generation Controller is usually included. In this day and age, card draw options are limited, so this kid’s deck included “A Commoner’s Offering.” (A card that allows for card draw)

And this Dark Dimension’s Liberation not only combos with A Commoner’s Offering, but can also be used with the kid’s favorite, the Necromancer Guardian. The Necromancer Guardian can banish itself from the graveyard to negate an attack. If you use Dark Dimension’s Liberation to recover it, you can activate its effect again.

One after another, a single monster can negate four attacks!!

But what concerned Niu Wei Zhe more was the Next Generation Synchro Monster that had just appeared. He didn’t know its abilities, but since You Qing had gone to such lengths to Summon it, it was certainly more than just a simple attack.

“It’s not over!!” You Qing shouted. “During my previous turn, I activated the effect of Next Generation Water Sprite to send a Water Attribute monster to the graveyard, and that monster can now activate its effect!!”

“The special ability of True Next Generation Water Sprite activates. If you have a Next Generation Synchro Monster on your field, target two Next Generation monsters in your graveyard including this card, and return them to your hand!!”

“As a cost, cards sent to your graveyard this turn are banished from the duel!!”

“I choose to recover True Next Generation Water Sprite and Next Generation Controller!!”

“Next, I activate the effect of Allied Forces・Next Generation Three Musketeers!!”

“Discard one card, and based on the attribute of the non-Tuner monsters used as Synchro Material, choose one of three effects to activate!!”

“Since Next Generation Converter is Dark Attribute, the effect of Allied Forces・Next Generation Three Musketeers is to destroy one Light Attribute monster on the field and draw one card!!!”

At these words, Niu Wei Zhe’s expression changed drastically: “What?! This Combo?!”

Just now, Hell Double-Cop was changed to Light Attribute, making it the perfect target for Allied Forces・Next Generation Three Musketeers’ attack!!

“Beep beep beep beep beep————————————————”

The giant cannon of Allied Forces・Next Generation Three Musketeers flashed with light. The three elemental charge slots were filled with dark energy. With a loud bang, a cannonball specifically designed to obliterate Light Attribute monsters roared out!!

The cannon fire, imbued with powerful destructive energy, locked onto its target, swiftly curving around an S-bend before hitting Hell Double-Cop, completely burying it!!

Then, following the trajectory of the cannonball, You Qing sped out of the bend, shouting: “Allied Forces・Next Generation Three Musketeers!! Direct Attack!!!”

“BOOM！！！！！！！！！”

Another powerful cannon blast erupted, the immense impact causing Niu Wei Zhe’s vehicle to instantly lose control. Fortunately, the stability of the Speed Dueler was excellent, and it was on autopilot. Just as he was about to crash into the roadside ruins, the Speed Dueler successfully righted itself.

However, the massive damage not only deducted two points from his SPC (Speed Points), but also cost him 2400 LP (Life Points). Niu Wei Zhe now only had his remaining 1000 base points!!

“Set one card face-down!” You Qing shouted, “End turn!!”

Niu Wei Zhe gritted his teeth, but after glancing at his VDC (Victory Determination Count) progress, he couldn’t help but let out a maniacal laugh: “Hee hee hee! You’re already panicking, aren’t you!!”

“You’re at a huge disadvantage in SPC and are about to be left behind by seventy percent. As long as I maintain my lead in the speed indicator, I can win by differential speed!!”

“My turn! Draw!”

“Summon in Attack Position—Reborn Zombie!!”

“Reborn Zombie’s effect is, as long as I have zero cards in my hand, this card in Attack Position cannot be destroyed by battle!!”

“Now I’ll use my last card!!”

“Magic Card—SP・High-Speed Power!!”

“Can only be activated when you have four or more SPC. Until the end of your next End Phase, cards you control cannot be destroyed by your opponent’s Spell/Trap effects!!”

“At the same time, I activate Continuous Trap Card—Soul Barrier!!” Niu Wei Zhe laughed triumphantly. “As long as I have a monster on my field, all battle damage I take becomes zero!!”

“The combo of these three cards will become my invincible fortress!!”

“Next turn, there’s no way you can defeat me!!”

“And when my turn comes again, just a little delay, and I’ll practically achieve one hundred percent VDC progress!!”

“The outcome of this duel is already decided!!”

“Aren’t you so good at driving a Speed Dueler? You even shamelessly became an advisor to the Speed Dueling Police Department~”

“Hee hee!! Hurry up and use your pathetic skills to catch up!!”

“But no matter how hard you try, the final outcome will not change!!”

“My turn ends, your turn!!!”

Self-satisfied, Niu Wei Zhe reveled in the howling wind and rain. He could already see You Qing in prison, his eyes full of resentment.

But just as he was about to check his VDC progress again, he suddenly noticed that the progress, which should have been rapidly increasing, had actually started to decrease?!

Niu Wei Zhe was suddenly shocked. Looking back, he saw a Trap Card had appeared on You Qing’s field at some point!!

It was…

Car Rear Airflow!!!
