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

You Qing plummeted rapidly in the biting cold wind, the howling wind in his ears like the shrieks of a demon.

His body spun uncontrollably, the ice wall rushing past him, each sharp icicle seeming to be waiting to tear him apart.

Just as my consciousness was about to be swallowed by despair, a familiar figure suddenly broke through the wind and snow.

Hanster's face was faintly visible in the light and shadow refracted by the ice crystals, and his eyes burned with a determined flame, clearly having been transported to this perilous abyss by the mysterious power of the ancient fairy dragon.

"You Qing!"

Hanster's shout pierced through the howling wind, and his outstretched hand, as if possessing some invisible gravitational pull, grabbed You Qing's arm at the last second.

The two formed a strange arc in the air, and the impact of their rapid fall almost tore their arms off. Veins bulged on Hanster's forehead.

Although the Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon is incredibly powerful, it cannot be summoned as easily as the swordsman George of the Ice Barrier.

At this moment, George is trapped above the ice pit, engaged in a fierce battle with the treacherous snow tiger!
Beside the shattered sealing array, George, the swordsman of the ice barrier, spread his wings, his ice sword gleaming with a chilling light. Each swing of his sword sent up a trail of ice flowers. However, the snow tiger, now freed from its seal, remained unmoved, its breath of cold air constantly condensing into solid ice around George, attempting to trap him completely.

In the critical moment, Hanster, who was falling at the same time as You Qing, did not hesitate to swing his card. In the midst of the great light, the mechanical toad 4624 appeared out of thin air.

It was a mechanical toad transformed from an old wooden barrel, its metal shell gleaming with a cold, hard sheen under the icy light.

It plunged its drill-like hands and feet deep into the ice, making a screeching sound, and then flung out an extremely long springy tongue that wrapped around the falling two people like lightning.

"hold onto!"

Hansster's voice became hoarse from straining.

You Qing felt a tightening in his waist and abdomen, and his falling body slowly came to a stop. He and Hanster were hanging in mid-air, with a bottomless ice abyss below them!

Ingenious Toad...

Is this also a card-based spirit?!
After thinking it over carefully, You Qing no longer felt it was outrageous.

After all, the Android Psychic Shocker also has card spirits, and even his Quick-Attack Wrench Knight is a machine race.

However, Hanster seems to have never summoned the Machine Toad...

Under Hansster's command, the ingenious toad began its arduous climb upwards.

The tremors of Ice Spirit Mountain grew more and more intense, each tremor like the awakening of an ancient behemoth. Countless ice spikes fell from above, exploding into crystalline ice mist around them.

The toad's springy tongue was scratched by sharp ice shards, yet it stubbornly held onto the two of them, its metal joints creaking under the strain.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and every inch of upward movement was accompanied by a test of life and death.

To prevent the mechanical toad from collapsing, the two clung to the ice wall as tightly as possible and strained upwards.

Finally, with the toad's last desperate pull, they stumbled out of the ice pit and collapsed at the edge of the ancient formation that sealed the snow tiger.

But the sight before him made You Qing feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar—the swordsman George of the ice barrier had been transformed into a crystal-clear ice sculpture.

George remained in a fighting stance, his ice sword still pointing forward, but the expression on his face was forever frozen in resentment and anger.

The blue light flowing across the surface of the ice sculpture seemed to be his lingering soul making a silent accusation.

"What...what's going on?"

Hanster staggered to his feet, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.

You Qing slowly stood up.

He knew what was going on. It was even George, the swordsman of the Ice Barrier, who told him.

Any life that dies here will be transformed into an ice sculpture like this.

This card spirit, given to him by the monk, has been by his side since the time he was in New Domino City. George, the swordsman of the Ice Barrier, once fought against Izayoi Aki, who was then the Black Rose Witch, for Yuuki, and also punished the evil and perverted Pegasus Seito with his powerful ice barrier...

Along the way, this young elf has given so much.

But now, it has been turned into an ice sculpture forever.

You Qing's gaze grew colder and colder.

He had thought that if he couldn't successfully obtain the power of the Zero Dragon Trident of the Ice Barrier, he could at least wait for the power of the Ice Barrier's Spirit Master to recover before escaping.

But now...

He has made the Snow Tiger, the Tiger King of the Ice Barrier, pay the price!

In the distance outside the ice cave, the figure of the snow tiger could be seen faintly in the wind and snow.

It raised its head and let out a deafening roar, the sound waves causing the surrounding ice surface to crack inch by inch, as if it was feeling exhilarated by its long-lost freedom!
Its unsealed power surged forth like a tidal wave, and the chilling aura surrounding it condensed into sharp ice spikes that swirled and danced in the void!

The Snow Tiger, the Tiger King of the Ice Barrier, ran through the avalanche, its back to the collapsing Ice Spirit Mountain, and gradually disappeared into the distance.

For it, there is no longer any point in staying here!

If the price of remaining king is death here, then it chooses to betray, for no one knows better than it the pain of its years of imprisonment…

The Snow Tiger, the Tiger King of the Ice Barrier, galloped wildly with exhilaration!
It spotted a figure with a long sword tucked into his waistband amidst the distant snowstorm.

The Snow Tiger, the tiger king of the ice barrier, glared with resentment. The figure of that person reminded it of the guys who had imprisoned it here.

"roar--------------------"

An angry roar of a tiger echoed, and the Tiger King of the Ice Barrier, Snow Tiger, resolved to celebrate this day of rebirth with the life of this stranger!
Amidst the swirling snowflakes, it leaped high into the air and pounced towards the figure!

But just then, a flash of purple light slashed past, the snow tiger's head fell off, and its body exploded, turning into ice shards that flew in all directions...

“Swish——————————————”

The sound of swords sheathing rang out, and it turned out to be a blind swordsman. He carried a large sword on his shoulder and asked the weathered young man who was running towards him, "Goro Shinnosuke."

"I seem……"

"A dog was killed."

The one speaking was Iro, one of the Six Samurai.

The crisis at Mount Ice Spirit alarmed the Six Samurai sect, which was also located in the Spirit Dimension. The Six Samurai of the Spirit Dimension were far more skilled than the so-called Duel Gym in New Domino City, and unlike that sect, they did not only recruit some simple-minded and impulsive fools.

Carrying a lot of luggage, Goro Shinnosuke stared blankly at the shattered ice tiger head on the ground. He could roughly guess that this was the Snow Tiger, the Tiger King of the Ice Barrier.

He just hadn't expected that Iran, a level four Six Samurai, could actually kill a level six Synchro Monster in one hit!
Of course, these are just his thoughts as a duelist.

The strength of an elf's power has never been related to its level.

As one of the elite members of the Six Samurai, given the right opportunity, even the heads of the Heavenly Spear Dragon, the Light Spear Dragon, or the Trident Dragon would be nothing more than a single strike for Iro!! (End of Chapter)
