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

"Set two cards face down!" You Qing announced loudly. "End of turn!"

“Beep beep————————————”

[Game Engine, SPC: 0→1]

[Rex Godwin, SPC: 0→1]

"Heh, so this is your Synchronous Dragon, You Qing?"

Rex Godwin gave a sinister laugh as his arm, covered in deep purple markings, swept across the deck and drew a card into his hand.

"Phantom Wings..."

"Among the many Synchro Dragons, he is indeed an exceptionally powerful fighter."

"However, this level is still not enough to stop me!!"

"Activate the effect of the Sun Priest from your hand!!"

"If only your opponent controls a monster, this card can be Special Summoned directly from your hand!!"

"Attack again to summon—Red Ants!!"

"Synchronize the Level 3 Tuner monster Red Ant with the Level 5 Sun Priest!!"

"When the sun rises, it illuminates all darkness!!"

"Shine forth, light!!"

"Synchronous Summon!!"

"Appear!!"

"Sun Dragon Inti!!!"

The dark, boundless night sky was suddenly stained with an eerie dark red, as if it had been splattered with blood!
A blinding beam of light shot down from the sky with a deafening roar, like a giant axe splitting the heavens and earth!
Accompanied by a piercing, teeth-grinding shriek, a colossal figure slowly emerged from the light—a deep red sunstone, with the heads of four crimson dragons roaring incessantly from its center!

This bizarre monster had no wings; it levitated in the air entirely through mysterious telekinesis. When it appeared, it hung high above the giant vulture painting, like the sun!
【Sun Dragon Inti】

【Eight Stars】

[Light Attribute/Dragon Race]

[Attack/Defense: 3000/2800]

"Sun Dragon Inti's attack power surpasses that of the Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon!!" Rex Godwin shouted. "Go!! Sun Dragon Inti!! Attack the Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon!!!"

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

The bursting red sun shone brightly, and the Illusionary Winged Dragon roared, gathering the power of the stars to defend itself, but it was instantly swallowed up by the deep red sun!
“Beep beep beep————————”

[YouQing, LP: 4000→3500]

"But this is just the beginning!!" Rex Godwin continued to wield cards, "After defeating your Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon, I can summon another Ace!!"

"Eliminate the Red Ants from the Graveyard from the Duel, and Special Summon—The Statue of the Weeping God!!"

"Then pay 1000 LP to Special Summon the Dark Tuner Monster - Itaka, Goddess of Darkness, from your hand!!"

"Activate the effect of Itaka, the Goddess of Darkness, to make this card's Level the same as a Synchro Monster on the field!!"

"Using Sun Dragon Inti as the target, raise the level of Dark Goddess Itaka to eight!!"

"Use the level 2 Weeping God Statue and the level 8 Dark Goddess Itaka to perform Dark Synchro!!"

"At the full moon in the darkness!!"

"A monster's whisper can be heard!!"

"Lure them to their deaths!!"

"Dark Synchronization!!"

"Appear!!"

"Moon Shadow Dragon, Kilia!!!"

The power of Itaka, the Goddess of Darkness, surged wildly into the weeping statue!
Its body instantly became transparent, and six dim, level-specific stars shone forth, followed by an eerie moonlight rising in the night sky!
A moon rock emitting a blue light flew out, revealing the heads of four blue dragons!

Moonshadow Dragon Kilia and Sun Dragon Inti hovered together in the sky!
The pale blue moonlight and the crimson blazing sun mirrored each other, shrouding the entire city of Shin-Domino in a terrifying spectacle!
[Moonshadow Dragon - Kilia] [Negative Six Stars]

[Dark Attribute/Dragon]

[Attack/Defense: 2500/2000]

They were all summoned in the very first round...?

You Qing frowned deeply.

One is the Sun Dragon, symbolizing the power of the Dragon Signers, and the other is the Moon Shadow Dragon, representing the power of the Dark Signers.

Rex Godwin chose to Synchro Summon Moonshadow Dragon during Main Phase 2 to prevent Transparent Wing Synchro Dragon from activating its effect counter.

The two monsters he just summoned were indeed both below level 5, so their effects wouldn't be affected by the effect of the Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon. However, the level-changing effect of the Goddess of Shadow, Itaka, required the target to be the Sun Dragon, Inti.

Sun Dragon Inti is a level 5 or higher monster, and the Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon can obliterate the Goddess of Shadow, Itaka!
"Set two cards face down, end turn!!" Rex Godwin announced. "Due to the effect of Moonshadow Dragon Kilia, this card is destroyed during its own effect at the End Phase!!"

“Beep beep beep————————————”

[Game Engine, SPC: 1→2]

[Rex Godwin, SPC: 1→2]

"You've summoned both dragons?!" You Qing shouted, waving a card. "Then I'll seal away both of your trump cards with a single dragon!!"

"Continuous Trap Card activated—Cry of the Living Dead!!"

"Special Summon Transcendental Dragon from Graveyard!!"

"High-Speed ​​Magic Card Activate—SP Angel Scepter!!"

"Draw two cards from your deck and then discard one card!!"

"Next, activate SP: Phantom Wind!!"

"Special Summon the Dragoon Corps Military Officer who was just abandoned in the graveyard!!"

[Dragon Rider Regiment - Military Officer]

【one star】

[Wind Attribute/Bird and Beast]

[Attack/Defense: 500/300]

"Dragon Rider Corps Military Officer's effect activates!!" You Qing exclaimed, "When this card is Normal or Special Summoned, send one 3-star or lower Dragon monster from your Deck to the Graveyard!!"

"Attack signal summoned—Dragon Riders: Forked Dragon!!"

"Synthesize the Rank 1 Tuner monster, Dragoon, Rank 1 Dragoon Military Officer, and Rank 7 Synchro Dragon!!"

"Immortal Ice that Shatters Heaven and Earth!!"

"Sacrifice my soul!!"

"Awakening from the eternal frost!!"

"Freeze all enemies completely!!!"

“Lv9!!!”

"Ice Barrier Dragon - Trident Dragon!!!!"

“Kaalaalaala——————————————————”

The frost on the ground, formed into hexagonal snowflakes, suddenly shattered. A dragon's roar, like a glacier collapsing, resounded through the sky. A massive ice and snow storm, carrying an endless chill, surged from the magic circle, and the entire high-speed space was buried in the overwhelming cold current and blizzard!

Three ice dragon heads burst forth from the sealing formation, followed by wings wrapped in a biting icy wind! They slowly spun and soared high into the sky, freezing the air wherever they passed!

[Ice Barrier Dragon: Trident Dragon]

Nine Stars

[Water Attribute/Dragon]

[Attack/Defense: 2700/2000] (End of Chapter)
