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

"What...what kind of monster is that?!"

On the other side of the elevated highway, Tetsuya Ushio arrived on his security D-bike.

He arrived at the perfect time, just in time to witness the five parts of the Machine King Monster combining into one and taking over the Synchro Monster from Enjou Mukuro.

When he learned of the Machine Emperor's terrifying abilities, Ushio Tetsu's face fell:

"Tsk..."

"He can actually convert the power of Synchro Monsters into his own?!"

"This is terrible..."

In this era, top-tier duelists primarily rely on Synchro Monsters.

The King of Machines' effect seems to exist solely to eliminate Synchro Summoning!

“Boom————————————————————”

The instant the Machine Emperor God unleashed his energy on the monster of Flame City Corpse, flames erupted, and both sides' LP decreased once again!
Yan Chenghai's deck revolves around a strategy of reducing the opponent's health, and includes a wide variety of cards such as the Destroyer Ring.

The timely activation of the Trap Card not only interrupted the effect of the King of Machines, but also weakened the enemy's LP once again.

"Damn it..." The ghost's voice turned extremely angry. With its card resources almost exhausted, it could only fight in the most ordinary way, "Enter the battle phase!"

"Machine Emperor - Divine Mind!!"

"Attack the Burning Skeleton!!"

"Put a card on it!!"

"The round is over!!!"

A perpetual light shone from the armored chest of the Machine Emperor. The "attack section," which served as the arm of this mech, rose up, and a silver-white beam of light exploded out, shattering the skull that was burning fiercely in the flames!

“Boom————————————————”

After the Ghost's turn ended, Yu Qing, watching from afar, glanced at Enjo Mukuro, who was in the middle of a duel, and continued to offer hints: "Enjo Mukuro, that guy is a killer who specializes in eliminating Synchro Monsters!! Defeat him with your true ace!!"

Yan Chenghai felt somewhat displeased.

He was dueling this mysterious guy late at night to train new synchronization tactics.

But now we can't even use Synchro Monsters?!
But Enjō Mukuro is an optimistic person.

In other words, the core of his deck wasn't a Synchro Monster. If it were anyone else, they would probably have died to that guy's weird monsters.

"Ha! Got it! Yu Qing!!" Yan Chenghai smiled smugly, the black and red D-Wheel emitting a deafening roar. He accelerated at full speed and swung out his true main card, "Activate the Continuous Trap Card - Double Hook!!"

"Discard one card from your hand to Special Summon two monsters from your Graveyard!!"

"Resurrect the Nightmare Horse and the Burning Skull!!"

Burning Skull

【Samsung】

[Fire attribute/Undead]

[Attack/Defense: 1000/800]

Double Hook is a card that Youqing really likes.

Although the negative effect of this card is somewhat similar to the Universal Mine Unexploded Bomb, if one of the two monsters and the card itself is destroyed, the other cards will also be destroyed.

However, if you use its effect in your own turn and launch an offensive, it will be very cost-effective.

Not only can it revive a group of monsters from the graveyard in one go for Synchro Summoning, but it can also pile up graveyards, making its gameplay very flexible.

The blazing, fiery red skull floated again beside Yan Chenghai. He smirked and laughed, saying:

"Offer the burning skull and the nightmare horse as sacrifices!!"

"Superior Summoning!!"

"Skeleton Flame Demon!!!" With a roar, Yan Chenghai's skeleton, which had been flying through the flames, transformed into magma erupting from hell!

The harsh sound of bones rubbing against each other could be heard in the firelight. The flames gradually condensed and turned into a huge skeleton. Red will-o'-the-wisp fire burned in the empty eye sockets. Its body was made up of charred bones. Every bone seemed to have been tempered by the fire of hell, emitting a suffocating hot breath.

The Skeleton Flame Ghost let out a long roar, and the countless magma turned into its bright red cloak. As the heat waves spread, it spread its arms and followed Yan Chengkai in a strange posture.

【Skull Flame Ghost】

【Eight Stars】

[Fire attribute/Undead]

[Attack/Defense: 2600/2000]

"Yosh~ Although the attack power is exactly 100 points higher, but~"

"There's absolutely no need for me to risk attacking!"

With a whoosh of wind, Yan Chenghai swung his arm, and a card was immediately inserted into the duel disk.

"Activate the effect of the Skeleton Flame Demon!!"

"Once per turn, you can Special Summon one Burning Skull from your hand!!"

"During the turn this effect is activated, you cannot enter the Battle Phase!!"

"However, when the Burning Skull is Special Summoned from your hand, you will suffer 1000 effect damage!!!"

“Boom————————————————”

[Ghost, LP: 2000 → 1000]

Seeing that Ghost only had one thousand LP left, You Qing breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Although Enjou Mukuro was a bit reckless, he wasn't stubborn and didn't insist on using Synchro Monsters to decide the winner.

Machine King - Divine Mind has 100 less attack power than Skeleton Flame Demon. Next turn, Flame City Corpse can use Skeleton Flame Demon's effect to retrieve a third Burning Skull from the deck, then activate its effect to end the duel!
The ghost's eyes grew increasingly cold as it stared at the undead monster that had absolutely no synchronized energy, its disgust reaching its peak.
"My turn! Draw a card!"

"Machine Emperor - Infinite Wisdom!!"

"Attack the Skeleton Flame Demon!!!"

Yan Chenghai exclaimed in surprise: "What?! Does this monster have other abilities?!"

"Ha!" the ghost roared in a cold, synthesized voice, "At the instant of the attack, I activated the Trap Card—Intelligence A3!!"

"Send the Machine Emperor Psychic Attack Unit on the field to the Graveyard, Special Summon - Machine Emperor Psychic Attack Unit Type 3!!"

"The attack power of Machine Emperor - Divine Mind is calculated based on the combined attack power of its five branch monsters!!"

"Due to the appearance of Machine Emperor·Divine Intelligence·Attack Unit Type 3, Machine Emperor·Divine Intelligence's attack power has increased by 400!!"

"beat!!"

"Skull Flame Demon!!!"

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

White lightning flashed, and surging sparks and currents dismantled the right arm of Machine Emperor Divine Mind. New reinforcement parts were added, instantly reversing its attack power!
A short beam of laser light, resembling a long spear, shot out with a deafening roar, directly shattering Yan Chenghai's trump card!

“Beep beep beep————————”

[Flame City Mutant, LP: 3000 → 2700]

"Hehehe..." Despite the gusts of wind, Yan Chenghai revealed a smug smile. "Do you choose to destroy the Skeleton Flame Demon?"

"But like this..."

"That's exactly what I wanted!!"

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

"Activate the effect of Speed ​​King - Skullfire Demon from your hand, banish Skullfire Demon from your Graveyard, and Special Summon this card!!!" (End of Chapter)
