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

Chapter 252 Speed ​​251 Dark Synchron Monster! Arachne of the Underground!

“Boom——————————————”

A dazzling white light descended from the sky, and amidst the long roar of the Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon, the ugly Dark Synchro Spider under the Dark Signer's command burst into bubbles, its power quickly stolen by the Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon!
The wings of the Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon suddenly became brighter and clearer; that was its third special ability, which allowed it to gain the original attack power of the monster whose effect it had destroyed.

A powerful force poured from the fragments of Arakne underground into the wings of the Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon, instantly boosting its attack power to nearly five thousand points!

However, the next second, a huge silver-white cross rose from the shattered earth, and the Dark Synchro Monster that had just been defeated was resurrected!
"Spell Card activated—Monster Resurrection!!" the Dark One roared, a wild, joyful laugh filling his eyes. "Special Summon Arachne from the Graveyard!!"

"This will reset the effect count of Underground Arachne!!"

"Activate its power again, equip the Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon as an Equip Card to yourself!!"

"Hiss hiss hiss——————————————"

Stretching, silvery-white spider silk once again formed a vast, overwhelming web that rained down upon the magnificent silvery-white dragon. Unable to use its first ability, the Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon was bound by the enemy this time, becoming the spider's backup food!
"Tsk!!" You Qing's heart sank.

The grayish-white spider cocoon throbbed like a heart, faintly radiating the glow of the Illusionary Winged Synchronous Dragon.

"Enter the battle phase!!" the Darksigner shouted immediately. "You have no monsters on your field!!"

"Arakne of the Underground!!"

"Launch a direct attack!!!"

“Squeak——————————————”

This time, it wasn't the disgusting spider silk from before, but a dark green venom. The half-human, half-spider monster spewed black and emerald green breath from its human and spider mouths respectively. The two toxins intertwined, forming an incredibly terrifying attack!
With an attack power of 2400, the Underground Arakne is not going to let the opponent attack it directly.

“Pah————————————”

He immediately pressed the button on the Duel Disk, intending to activate the face-down card for defense.

But a strange thing happened: the information on the Duel Disk showed that he couldn't activate a magic trap!
Just like many times before when he used the Demon Warrior to attack his opponents.

"Hahahaha!!" the Dark Signer roared with laughter. "Stop struggling! This is the immense power of the Dark Synchro Monster!!"

"When this card attacks, your opponent cannot activate any Spell and Trap Cards until the end of the Damage Step!!"

"Enjoy the pain this blow brings you!!"

"In the duel of darkness, all damage is materialized!"

"Set a cover card, end the turn!!"

“Bang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Large swaths of dark green pus exploded on You Qing's body, a pungent stench assaulting his senses, followed by excruciating pain as if his entire body were being corroded!
Fortunately, with the help of the spirits, You Qing, whose mental strength was already formidable, quickly recovered from the pain.

However, after this attack, he had less than half of his LP left.

“Beep beep beep————————”

[YouQing, LP: 4000→1600]

The Darkmarker sneered madly, while the Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon continued to struggle within its spider cocoon. Dark purple flames emanated from the center of their battle, forming a large ring that prevented others from entering and the duelists from escaping...

In just his first duel with the Dark Marker, You Qing felt considerable pressure.

Besides the physical damage, there was also the negative rank that the Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon couldn't handle... "It seems... after this duel, I'll need to adjust my deck again..." You Qing thought to himself, his eyes hardening once more. He had to defeat this guy before he could head to the Satellite Zone and save those in need. "My turn!! Draw!!!"

“Swish——————————————”

You Qing shouted loudly and drew a card from the deck:
"Continuous Spell Card activated - Scrap Metal Oil Slot!!"

"This card can be Special Summoned from the Graveyard by 1 Scrap Monster; the effects of monsters resurrected by this effect are negated!!"

"Come back, you scrap metal goblin!!"

"Offering the Scrap Goblin as a sacrifice, Superior Summon—Scrap Stone Golem!!"

"Activate the effect of Scrap Stone Golem: Once per turn, Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Scrap Monster from your Graveyard to your or your opponent's field!!"

"Resurrect the Scrap Goblin from the graveyard once again!!"

"Synchronize a Level 3 Scrap Goblin with a Level 5 Scrap Golem!!"

"The rusted body has not corrupted the soul!!"

"To vindicate the useless with an immortal will!!"

"Synchronous Summon!! Level 8!!"

"Reborn!! Scrap Metal Dragon!!!"

“Ka-ka-ka-ka——————————”

The sounds of metal clashing rang out one after another, filled with the noise of mechanical transformation.

Immediately following, a metallic dragon roar echoed, and the battered, scrap metal dragon spread its steel wings across the battlefield, roaring as it took flight amidst crimson flames and thick smoke!
【Scrap Iron Dragon】

【Eight Stars】

【Earth Attribute/Dragon Clan】

[Attack/Defense: 2800/2000]

"Once per turn, activate the effect of Scrap Dragon!!" You Qing continued to announce, "Choose one card from your field and one card from your opponent's field, then destroy the chosen card!!"

"What I will crush is your Dark Synchronous Monster—Arachne of the Underworld!!"

"And my backcourt cover card!!"

"At the same time, the Trap Card chosen by the Scrap Dragon is activated in a chain reaction—Resurrection Gift!!"

"Special Summon 1 Tuner Monster from your Graveyard, and Special Summon 2 Gift Spell Tokens to your opponent's field!!"

"Special Summon Scrap Goblin in Defense Position! Special Summon Gift Demon Token in Attack Position!!!"

"Rumble!"

Two bursts of red flame exploded, blasting towards the opponent's and You Qing's own fields respectively. The sound of cards shattering rang out, and amidst the raging flames, Arakne from the depths let out a piercing and chilling shriek!
But strangely, it wasn't destroyed; only the Phantom Wing Synchronous Dragon sealed in the spider cocoon disappeared?!
"Hehehe~" the Dark Signer sneered, "Useless~ The effect of Underground Arachne: If this card is destroyed, you can send the opponent's monster equipped to this card to the Graveyard to negate the destruction of this card!!"
