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

“Boom————————————————”

The roar of Earthbound God Crimson Lotus Nova exploded across the sky, a demonic roar as powerful as thunder, seemingly capable of shattering everything in the world!

A dark red, serpentine pillar of fire shot skyward, burning the shimmering Stardust Dragon to ashes!

The scalding heat swept across the motionless Yusei, and the realistic impact immediately caused him to let out a heart-wrenching scream.

"what!!!!!"

“Beep beep beep——————————”

[Immovable Star, LP: 3700 → 2700]

“Yusei!!” Kro Hogan shouted.

"Tsk... I'm fine!" Yusei Fudo replied, forcing a smile despite the pain. "This Earthbound God's attack... is even more terrifying than that of the Giant Earthbound God!!"

"Hahahahaha!!" Ludger Godwin laughed maniacally, waving down two cards and grinning maliciously, "That's right!!"

"This demonic earthbound god cannot be attacked directly, nor does it possess the ability to avoid being targeted."

"However, it can still ignore the effects of all the opponent's spell trap cards and possesses even greater magical power!!"

"Put two cards on the counter!!"

"End of round!!"

"Enjoy this boundless terror to the fullest!!"

"hahahahahahahaha!!!"

Giant, crimson serpents writhed and danced around the demonic painting. Kro Hogan roared, "You...don't be so arrogant!!"

"It's my turn! Draw a card!!"

"Attack signal summon—Black Feather: Azure Flame Asura!!"

Black Feather - Azure Flame Asura

【Four stars】

[Dark Attribute/Bird and Beast]

[Attack/Defense: 1800/1200]

"Activate the effect of Blackwing Gale!!" Kro Hogan shouted. "Once per turn, halve the ATK of one monster your opponent controls!!"

"While Earthbound Gods are unaffected by Spell & Trap Cards, they are still affected by Monster Effects!!"

"Black Feather - Black Spear Blaster!! Attack Earthbound God - Crimson Nova!!!"

Within the burning crimson painting of a demon, a nimble black raven spread its wings, unleashing a venomous storm that swept towards the colossal demon, the Earthbound God!
Immediately following was another powerful thrust from a black-feathered creature!
【Earthbound God - Crimson Lotus Nova, Attack Power: 3500 → 1750】

Faced with this level of attack, Ludger Godwin sneered and shouted, "A futile struggle!!"

"Activate Trap Card - Energy Boost!!"

"Discard one card from your hand to increase the ATK of Earthbound God: Crimson Nova by 1500 until the end of the turn phase!!!"

“Beep beep beep——————————”

【Earthbound God - Crimson Lotus Nova, Attack Power: 1750 → 3250】

"Heh heh heh!" Ludger Godwin sneered, "How about that?! Now it's your own monster that's going to be destroyed!!"

Faced with the Earthbound God, who had become terrifying and powerful once again, Crow Hogan showed no panic. He shouted, "Yusei!!!"

"Understood!! Kro!!" Fudo Yusei decisively activated his Trap Card, "Activate Trap Card - Emergency Synchro!!"

"This card can be Synchro Summoned during both players' Battle Phases!!"

"Kro, use this opportunity to avoid this battle!!"

"Heh! Trying to run away?!" Ludger Godwin sneered.

"No!!" Kro Hogan's eyes burned with rage. "This is preparation for the next attack!!"

"Synchronize Blackwing Gale, level 3, and Blackwing Black Spear Blaster!!"

"Black Whirlwind!!" "Become wings that soar through the sky!!"

"Synchronous Summon!!"

"Lv7!! Black Feather Armored Raven!!!"

A black bolt of lightning ripped through the sky and plummeted downwards!
With a deafening roar, the Black-feathered Armored Raven appeared amidst the echoing dark winds!

Its feathers, like the deepest ink in the night sky, shimmered with a mysterious and cold luster. Each feather resembled a meticulously crafted blade, trembling slightly in the wind and exuding a deadly aura! Its body was heavily armored in sturdy black armor, and sharp claws extended from within, their sharpness capable of easily tearing through any enemy's defenses!
Blackwing Armored Raven

[Dark Attribute/Bird and Beast]

[Attack/Defense: 2500/1500]

"My battle phase isn't over yet!!" Kro Hogan waved his arm, and a black storm instantly surged forth. "Black Feather - Crimson Crow!! Attack Earthbound God - Crimson Nova!!"

"This card cannot be destroyed in battle, and any battle damage inflicted on yourself through battle will be reduced to zero!!"

"Furthermore, at the end of the Damage Step when this card attacks a monster, it will drive a wedge into the opponent's body!!"

“Bang————————————————————————”

Earthbound God: Crimson Lotus Nova's muscles twitched, repelling Black Feather: Armored Crow's charge, but a black feather as sharp as a nail was embedded in its arm.

"Well then, it's my turn!" Yusei Fudo waved his card and declared loudly, "Since this Earthbound God can't dodge the attack, let's defeat it head-on!!"

"My turn! Draw a card!"

Special Summon - Unknown Synchron!!

"This card's effect can only be activated once per duel. If your opponent has a monster on their field and you have no monsters on your field, you can Special Summon it from your hand!!"

[Unknown Synchron]

【one star】

【Dark attribute/Mechanical family】

[Attack/Defense: 0/0]

"Yusei!! Gather our strength and defeat that monster!!" Kro Hogan shouted, "Summon Armored Raven using Synchro Summoning!!"

"But before that, I need to activate the effect of Blackwing Armored Raven!!"

"Remove the wedge from that demon, reducing its attack and defense to zero for this entire turn!!!"

【Earthbound God - Crimson Lotus Nova, Attack Power: 3250 → 0】

Fudo Yusei glared angrily at the terrifying demon, the Earthbound God:
"Jack..."

"Crow and I will never let you down!!"

"Synchronize the Rank 1 Unknown Synchron with the Rank 7 Blackwing Armored Raven!!"

"A prayer for a miracle will illuminate the endless darkness!!!"

"Become the path of the King of Light!!"

"Roar! Crimson Lotus Dragon!!!"

[Red Lotus Dragon]

【Eight Stars】

[Dark Attribute/Dragon]

[Attack/Defense: 3000/2000]

"You who hurt Jack, we will never forgive you!!" Yusei Fudo roared, "Enter battle phase!! This is the true Crimson Lotus!! This is the power of Jack Atlas!!"

"Go!! Crimson Lotus Demon Dragon!!"

"Attack!! Earthbound God - Crimson Lotus Nova!!!" (End of Chapter)
