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

Chapter 251 Speed ​​250 Ability Sealing! The Gloomy Illusionary Winged Synchro Dragon!
Yuqing, who was eager for a quick victory, summoned his ace monster, Transparent Wing Synchro Dragon, in the first turn and ended his turn after setting two face-down cards.

Facing the dazzling dragon summoned by You Qing, the Dark Marker revealed an excited and arrogant smile:
"Hehehe~"

"So you've summoned the pride of the Dragon Signers—the Synchro Dragon—so quickly?"

"Then I will repay you with the most powerful force of the Dark Signers!!"

"It's my turn, draw a card!!"

“Swish——————————————”

The Dark Signer swung his arm, and the card immediately fell:

"Spell Card Activated - Offering to the Dead!!"

"Discard a card from your hand to destroy the Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon!!"

This is a very old card. In Yugi Muto's time, it would have been a very rare and valuable card. In this day and age, it is not so rare, but it is still very useful for both graveyard clearing and monster removal.

"Counter Trap Card activated!!" You Qing immediately flipped up his face-down card to protect his ace, "The Demon Palace's Bribe!!"

"When the opponent activates a Spell Card, negate that activation and destroy it!!"

"As a trade-off, your opponent can draw one card!!"

The Dark Marker chuckled smugly: "Hehehe~ Just what I wanted~ Otherwise, this revenge spanning five thousand years would have become utterly boring~"

"When I activated the offering to the dead, I sent the Death Submarine to the graveyard from my hand~"

"Now, the Death Submarine effect is activated!!"

"If you control no monsters, Special Summon this card from your Graveyard!!"

Dark fluctuations spread across the ground like ripples on water, turning the land, corrupted by dark energy, into a muddy, poisonous swamp. Bubbles rose to the surface, accompanied by the sound of viscous water flowing, and a monster as tall as nine stars emerged from it!

However, although this monster was ridiculously high in level, its attack and defense power were both less than 500 points, and the aura it emitted was only strange, not the oppressive feeling that a nine-star monster should have.

【Death Submarine】

Nine Stars

【Dark attribute/Mechanical family】

[Attack/Defense: 0/300]

"Next, proceed with the normal summon!" The Dark Signer raised a wicked smile, raising his arms high as if performing some kind of ritual, and devoutly invoking, "Attack position summons Memory Destroyer!!"

"Subtract Dark Tuner's Level 9 from Memory Destroyer's Level 3 and perform a Dark Synchro Summon!!"

"When darkness overlaps with darkness, the gates of the underworld will open!!"

"Go to that world without light!!"

"Dark Synchro Summon!!"

"Level -6!!"

"Arakne of the Underworld!!!"

“Boom boom boom boom——————————————”

The earth trembled slightly as the two monsters offered up transformed into level stars and flew towards the dark energy condensing in the sky. A total of twelve stars collided and shattered, leaving only six dim, malevolent dark stars!

Like a thick fog descending upon the earth, vast swathes of dark energy crashed down upon the ground, stirring up dust and smoke. At the same time, terrifying, half-human, half-spider beasts appeared menacingly on the battlefield!

Arachne, the Underground

[Negative Six Stars]

【Earth Attribute/Insect Tribe】

[Attack/Defense: 2400/1200] It's this card?!
You Qing's heart sank.

In the original work, the final villain of the Dark Signers arc summoned this monster during his duel with Yusei Fudo, and I recall its effects being quite troublesome...

Once the manipulated person becomes a Dark Signer, their deck will become a random Dark Synchro deck, and the Dark Tuners and Dark Synchro Monsters they acquire will be completely unpredictable.

Only a small number of chosen Dark Signers, such as the corrupted Poma in the original work, will receive specific cards based on their abilities.

“What terrible luck…” You Qing’s expression became even more serious. “However, the situation is still under control!”

When the Dark Synchro Monster and the Synchro Dragon of the Dragon Signer appear on the battlefield at the same time, the Dragon Sign of the Yu-Qing and the Dark Signer's Dark Sign light up simultaneously!
A burning sensation spread from his arm. Although You Qing felt pain, a gentle feeling still flowed through his limbs and bones.

But the situation is completely different for those with the Dark Mark. When the Dark Mark activates, their face turns deathly pale and contorts, and the pain feels like being cut by a knife, as if it wants to slice their arm off bit by bit!

However, this level of pain only drove the Dark Marker even more insane and excited. After resting for a moment, he grinned maliciously:

"Open your eyes wide and take a good look at this magnificent monster!"

"Activate the effect of Arachne the Underground: Once per turn, equip 1 monster your opponent controls as an Equip Card to this card!!"

"Come, offer your dragon to the underworld!!!"

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle————————————"

Threads of viscous, dark spider silk shot out, each carrying drops of venom, binding the Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon that shone brilliantly in the night!
You Qing naturally couldn't let his opponent run rampant. He immediately prepared to activate the effect of the Illusionary Wing Synchronous Dragon, but only one of the two abilities could be used!

The Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon can negate and destroy the effects of one Level 5 or higher monster on the field once per turn, and can also negate and destroy monster effects that target only one Level 5 or higher monster on the field once per turn.

Currently, the Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon can only activate the latter; the former cannot be activated at all!

"Tsk! Just as I guessed!!" You Qing gritted his teeth. "The abilities of the Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon are all based on the monster's level being five stars or higher, while the level of Dark Synchro Monsters is negative, below five stars!!"

"So... when facing Dark Synchro Monsters..."

"The Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon only has one ability that can be activated!!"

"Phantom Wing!! Activate its second effect: When a monster effect targets only one Level 5 or higher monster on the field, negate and destroy it!!!"

"boom---------------"

Suddenly, the bright, clear wings lit up, and countless rays of light burst forth, completely dissolving the spider silk of Arakne beneath the earth!
The hideous monster shattered into countless fragments, only to be resurrected in the blink of an eye. The Dark Signer revealed the card in his hand, grinning sinisterly: "Then, I activate the Spell Card—Monster Reborn!!"

"Resurrect Arakne from the cemetery!!"

"Activate its effect again, steal the Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon!!!"

The heavy night enveloped the entire city of Shin-Domino.

Due to the rapid expansion of the Dark Markers, terrible events have occurred in various parts of the city.

The entire Sheriff's Department was in a frenzy, but Godwin remained calm and composed, standing at the highest point, gazing at the eerie blue flames burning on a distant street.

That's a light that only appears when the Dark Markers initiate a dark duel.

"Lord Godwin!! Something terrible has happened!!" a sheriff reported frantically, "Youqing has been attacked by suspicious individuals, and a dark duel has begun!!"

"Moreover...moreover, judging from the data from the testing equipment, the opponent that You Qing encountered was much stronger than the one that Fudou Yusei faced!!"

"what……"

Godwin raised his hand, interrupting his report, and stood before the bright French windows, a faint smile on his face:

"It doesn't matter."

"You Qing is the king of the entire dueling world, and he will not easily lose to others."

"Besides, I also want to see just how much power he has."
