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

Under the starry sky, amidst the howling wind, You Qing's two Heart Cards merged into one, finally unlocking the system most perfectly suited to the Illusionary Wings—the Swift Robot!

With a loud shout, You Qing synchronized his Speedster with the monsters on the field!
The rapidly spinning four-sided die flew into the air, creating ripples that transformed the Synchro Monsters used as material into even greater power!
"The sacred crystal wings radiate an immortal light!!"

"Use the power of dazzling crystal starlight to dispel the darkness!!"

"Synchronous Summon!!"

"Come on stage!!"

"Lv8!! Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon!!!"

The colors of heaven and earth distorted in an instant, and a galaxy-like rift suddenly tore open in the dark purple thunderclouds!

Countless tiny particles of light, like a collapsing galaxy, rapidly coalesced in the void, forming a pillar of light that reached the heavens and the earth, illuminating the entire battlefield as if it were daytime!
With a deafening dragon's roar, the pillar of light shattered, and countless crystal-like fragments floated in the air, refracting thousands of dazzling rays of light!
These fragments, as if imbued with life, began to spin and recombine rapidly, gradually outlining the silhouette of a dragon! Its body was composed of pure light crystals, each scale like a crystallization of the essence of the universe, shimmering with a seven-colored halo in the light, radiating a breathtakingly sacred aura!

Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon

【Eight Stars】

[Wind Attribute/Dragon]

[Attack/Defense: 3000/2500]

Shirley Leblanc's lips curled into a smile as she said:

"I actually found a card that suits me in the duel?"

"But that was just one picture~"

"Come on, Youqing!!"

"Let me see the power of you, you monster!!"

“Swish————————————————————”

A gust of wind surged, and You Qing waved his arm, shouting loudly:

"Enter the battle phase!!"

"Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon! Attack on Flower Knight!!"

"Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon's effect: When this card battles a Level 5 or higher monster, its ATK increases by the same amount as that monster's ATK!!"

"The Flower Knight's attack power is 2700, and the final attack power of the Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon will reach 5700 points!!!"

The dazzling starlight transformed into a surging galaxy, and explosive beams of light flashed across the Daedalus Bridge, blasting towards the knight-monster amidst a flurry of flowers!
Perhaps because of the fact that Speedster Three-Eyed Dice is a Tuner Monster, Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon is now even more dazzling than before!

Faced with the powerful attack of Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon, Sherry Rubin flipped her face-down card and shouted, "Trap Card activated—For the Ideal!!"

"This card allows you to Tribute one monster on your field!!"

"Make one monster immune to battle once this turn!!"

Shirley LeBlanc currently has two monsters on the field: a low-level monster in defense position, Paladin's Spearman, and her ace, Flower Knight.

Enjō Mukuro, who was watching the battle, saw Sherry Leblanc flip open the cover and sneered:
"What?!"

"This is a completely pointless operation!!"

"Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon can only deal 3000 damage, and her LP is not enough to sustain it."

"To stop the attack, we must release the Flower Knight to avoid battle, but in doing so, our trump card for victory will also disappear."

"In the end, You Qing has won this duel!!"

Upon hearing Yan Cheng Mukuro's words, the butler riding the black heavy D-wheel directly in front remained expressionless and composed.

It's unclear whether he didn't think Shirley LeBlanc would lose, or whether he felt it didn't matter if she lost the duel.

Everything was just as Yan Chenghai had said.

Sherry Leblanc used the desired effect to release Flower Knight, forcing Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon to retract its attack. Yuqing chose to continue attacking, but thanks to the resistance provided by the trap card, Paladin's Spearman easily blocked it. Yuqing thus ended his turn.

With the powerful Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon present, he didn't even need to set a face-down card.

Shirley LeBlanc's turn begins, and both cars accelerate again, with SPC increasing by a point each!

“Beep beep——————”

[Game Engine, SPC: 4→5]

[Shirley LeBlanc, SPC: 4→5]

The appearance of Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon made Sherry Leblanc, who had just been somewhat disappointed, serious and excited. Her eyes gleamed with fighting spirit, and she remained incredibly confident even though there were no Synchro Monsters on the field.

“Finally starting to look like this, You Qing,” Shirley Leblanc shouted. “But the duel has only just begun!!”

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

"Put a card on it!!"

"Activate the High-Speed ​​Magic Card again—SP: Explosion!!"

"If your SPC is greater than two, destroy one card in your Spell & Trap Zone and change the battle position of all monsters on your opponent's field!!"

"Destroy the face-down card I just set! With this effect, Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon will be switched to Defense Position!!!"

“Boom——————————————————”

The covered card shattered, flames and air currents swept through, forcing the Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon into Defense Position.

But then, countless petals scattered from the shattered card and transformed into a flower spirit on Shirley LeBron's field.

"Trap Card - Reviving Flower Messenger's effect triggered!!" Sherry Rubin swung the card and shouted, "When this face-down card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, Special Summon 1 Flower Messenger Token to my field!!"

"The paladin's spearman and flower messenger derivatives as sacrifices!!"

"Superior Summoning!!"

"The Witch of Seasonal Flowers!!!"

The Witch of Seasonal Flowers

【Eight Stars】

[Dark Attribute/Magician Clan]

[Attack/Defense: 2900/0]

Shirley LeBron's counterattack has succeeded:

"Enter the battle phase!!"

"Attack on the Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon!!!"

Yan Chenghai's heart sank.

Oops……

The Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon's effect cannot be used to counter abilities other than Monster Effects.

Furthermore, its effect of enhancing combat power is only meaningful when an attack signal is present.

Seeing Yan Chenghai's gaze in the rearview mirror, the butler, Goukou, sneered, "Not only that."

"Miss Sherry's trump card - Witch of the Flower of Time can Special Summon 1 monster from your opponent's Graveyard to your field once per turn."

"Although this effect only lasts for one turn, the monster captured will be destroyed at the end of the turn."

"However, Miss Sherry must have already made preparations; that final face-down card is intended to permanently seize the Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon!" (End of Chapter)
