Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: Duelists Beyond Light

Chapter 230 Speed ​​229 Detonation

In the instant the horizon was abruptly torn apart, the mournful wail of an engine echoed from the clouds. It wasn't the hum of ordinary machinery; rather, it sounded like a roar, filled with metal fragments, squeezed from the depths of some gigantic creature's abdomen!
A shadow cleaved through the atmosphere, causing the air to explode with the stench of sulfur and ionization. Vein-like crimson energy patterns floated on the surface of its purplish-black armor, and four counter-rotating turbine engines spewed out hundreds-meter-long tongues of ghostly blue flames from behind its wings, scorching the clouds in its path into a viscous, asphalt-like liquid that plummeted to the ground!
Dark Dive Bomber

【Seven Stars】

【Dark attribute/Mechanical family】

[Attack/Defense: 2600/1800]

Appeared!!

You Qing's gaze suddenly froze.

Dark dive bomber!!

This card, just like its counterpart, Ice Barrier Dragon - Light Lance Dragon, has never been nerfed!
In other words, this version of the Dark Dive Bomber's effect is not limited to once per turn or specific phases!
"Enter combat phase!!" Boma shouted in a deep voice, "Dark dive bombers!!"

"Attack the Ghost Warrior!!"

"Continuous Trap Card activated - Rare Metallization: Magic Reflection Armor!!"

"Increases the Dark Dive Bomber's ATK by 500, and negates the effects of Spell Cards that target that monster only once!!"

"My attack power has surpassed yours, You Qing!!!"

“Beep beep beep————————”

[Dark Dive Bomber, Attack Power: 2600→3100]

“Boom——————————————”

The imposing giant robot transformed back into a bomber, its massive shadow sweeping across the sky above the Oni Warrior. Several shells rained down, instantly obliterating the Oni Warrior.

“Beep beep beep————————”

[YouQing, LP: 4000→3500]

"It's not over yet!!" Poma continued his attack, "Magic Reactor - Assault!! Direct Attack!!!"

"Swish swish swish swish——————————"

White smoke billowed up, and the honeycomb cluster cannons mounted on the magic reactor roared to life, launching missile after missile that locked onto Youqing's position and pierced the sky!

Faced with Poma's second attack, You Qing decisively flipped up his face-down card to defend: "Trap Card activated - Counter Gate!!"

"When the opponent's monster launches a direct attack, negate that attack!!"

"Then draw a card. If that card is a monster card, you can Normal Summon it directly to the field!!"

"Crystal Ingenuity: Matrix Citrine!!!"

【Crystal Mechanism Matrix Citrine】

【Two stars】

【Water attribute/Mechanical type】

[Attack/Defense: 500/500]

"Hmph~" Poma sneered, "But my attack isn't over yet!!"

"Main Phase Two: Unleash the effect of the Dark Dive Bomber!!"

"Unleash Magic Reactor - Assault, inflicting damage equal to 200 times its level!!"

That's 600 points of damage!

You Qing knew very well that the Dark Dive Bomber of this era could activate its effects indefinitely. If Bo Ma were to release the Dark Dive Bomber itself later, it could deal 1400 points of damage to himself.

If we wait until then to defend, it would be like taking 600 points of effect damage for nothing, so it's better to activate the effect in advance.

"Chain activation of the effect of Crystal Machine - Matrix Topaz!!" You Qing shouted, "During the opponent's Main Phase and Battle Phase, Special Summon 1 monster from the Graveyard, negating its effects, and use that monster and this card as materials!!"

"Synch Summon a Machine-type Synchro Monster!!"

"Materials used for this Synchro Summon do not go to the Graveyard except from Duels!!" "Synchro Summoning a Rank 2 Crystal Machine - Matrix Topaz and a Rank 4 Samurai of the Ice Barrier!!"

"The Broken Immortal Mecha!!"

"Shake and roar amidst the overwhelming artillery fire!!"

"Lv6!! Armored Skeleton!!!"

“Click, click, click————————”

Amidst the gleaming light of synchro, the super-heavy land mech crashed to the ground. The bullet holes and cannon founts on its body had no effect on its combat effectiveness. With a resounding roar, it retracted its massive four-legged base and used its propulsion system to accelerate its flight!

【Armored Skeleton】

【Six Star】

【Light attribute/Mechanical type】

[Attack/Defense: 2500/1600]

As soon as the fully armed heavy mech landed, it deployed an energy barrier. The shells from the Dark Dive Bomber rained down, but were easily deflected by the barrier!

"The effect of Armored Skeleton!" You Qing said, "If this card is successfully Synchro Summoned, this card cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects this turn, and all damage you take becomes zero!!"

“Bang————————————————————”

"That was fantastic!!" the commentator exclaimed excitedly. "Poma's offensive was incredibly swift!!"

"And You Qing's defense was equally flawless!!"

"The battle between the two sides continues, and it seems that Pomali currently has the upper hand!"

Two D-wheeled vehicles sped past on the track one after the other, creating bursts of sound as the swirling winds rubbed against them.

Bo Ma chuckled and said, "Hmph, You Qing, it seems I'm pretty much as I imagined."

"You really do have a way to resist!!"

"However, my Dark Dive Bomber now has 3100 attack power and can also be immune to one spell card effect!!"

"This is my other trump card!!"

"Feel the power of this card!!"

"Set one card face down, end your turn!!!"

With the arrival of a new round, both sides' SPCs have increased to four points.

Four points is another critical point for the High Speed ​​Spell Card series. The first critical point is two points. Many High Speed ​​Spell Cards require more than two SPCs to activate.

You Qing glanced at his hand, then looked at the imposing dark dive bomber behind him.

Its attack power is ridiculously high...

It can also grant immunity to one magical effect...

Originally, SPC was just enough to activate a perfectly timed card, but due to that Continuous Trap, a different tactic had to be adopted.

"Metallic Armor - Magic Reflection can only negate targeting effects!!" You Qing shouted, waving the card. "Then, I'll just use an effect that doesn't target!!"

"SP - Detonation!!"

"Can only be activated when SPC is greater than two: Destroy one card in your Spell & Trap Zone!!"

"Change the battle battle of all monsters on your opponent's field!!"

"Chain activation of the targeted Trap Card—Resurrection Gift!!" Yu Qing continued, "Special Summon one Tuner Monster from the Graveyard, and Special Summon two Gift Spell Tokens to your opponent's field!!"

"I choose to summon a token to your field in Attack Position!!"

"Rise again!! Feng Shui Master of the Ice Barrier!!!"
