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

"It's here!!" You Qing shouted, "Reverse Summoning - Effect Veiler!!"

"Next, activate the High-Speed ​​Spell Card—SP Cyclone!!"

"This effect can only be activated when SPC is greater than 3, destroying one Spell Trap Card on the field!!"

"Smash it!! Dissonance!!!"

A storm swept across the battlefield, shredding Placido's card that influenced Synchro power!

“Tsk…” Placido frowned. “The monster Special Summoned with that effect… is Effect Veiler?!”

"That card should theoretically be a monster that stays in the hand to activate its effect..."

"That guy Yu Qing is doing this to exploit the fact that it's a Tuner Monster for Synchro Summoning!!"

Another magic card was triggered, and magic power continued to pour in, bringing the Crimson Mage's attack power to 3500!
"Attack Position Summon - Magic Guide!!" Yu Qing added a monster to the field.

【Magic Guide】

【Four stars】

[Earth Attribute/Mage Race]

[Attack/Defense: 1700/1400]

"Enter battle phase!!" You Qing shouted, "Crimson Archmage!! Launch an attack on the Machine Emperor - Divine Intelligence - Defense Department!!"

An even more powerful magical force rapidly condensed, unleashing a crimson burst of magic bullets, only to be blocked in an instant.

"The effects of Machine Emperor - Divine Mind - Vehicle are activated!!" Placido exclaimed, "ensuring that Machine Emperor - Divine Mind - Defense Unit will not be destroyed in this battle!!"

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

The light screen of the Machine Emperor's Divine Wisdom formed, completely dissolving the attack.

Meanwhile, the magnetic field of Machine Emperor, Mind, and Defense Department is still in effect. As long as this monster exists on the field, it can redirect the opponent's attack target to this card.

"I have an Attack Position monster on my field! Magic Guide!!" Yu Qing announced loudly, "Attack Emperor of Machines - Mind & Defense Department!!"

"BOOM!!!!!!!!!"

This time, the seemingly indestructible Emperor of Machines has finally suffered a major blow!

Sparks flew from the explosion, and one of the Machine Emperor Divine Mind's arms was severed, constantly emitting dazzling electric sparks.

Placido's face darkened.

He knew all too well what You Qing wanted to do.

This guy disrupted the dissonance and summoned that one-star Tuner monster, all for the sake of Synchro Summoning!!

His backup plan must be that emergency synchronization card!!!
“Tsk…” Placido gritted his teeth, “So, he planned from the beginning to lure me into attacking the novice mage…”

"His real purpose wasn't to protect the Crimson Mage at all!!"

"It's for the counterattack in this round!!!"

Just as Placido had predicted, after the two monsters finished their attack, Yuqing flipped the face-down card in the backcourt:

"Trap Card Activate—Emergency Synchro!!"

"Synthesize the Level 1 Tuner monster Effect Veil and the Level 6 Spellcaster monster Dark Magician!!"

"Synchronous Summon!!"

"Lv7!!" "Arcanite Mage!!!"

In the gloomy sky, dark purple lightning danced through the cracks, twisting the entire space into boiling liquid metal!

With a piercing shriek that defied the laws of physics, three rifts burning with emerald flames tore open in the void!

The moment the Archmage stepped out, all magical energy began to flow in reverse—the suspended rubble receded back to the ground! Frozen flames reignited, and even the afterimage of time appeared in the reversal!

[Arcanite Magister]

【Seven Stars】

[Light Attribute/Magician Clan]

[Attack/Defense: 400/1800]

"The effect of the Arcane Magister!!" You Qinglang exclaimed, "This card has been successfully Synchro Summoned and activated. Place two Spell Counters on this card."

"This card's ATK increases by the number of Spell Counters this card * 1000!!"

“Beep beep beep——————————”

[Arcanite Mage, Attack Power: 400 → 2400]

"Arcane Magister!!" You Qing launched a final attack on the Machine Emperor - Divine Intelligence, "Attack Machine Emperor - Divine Intelligence - Infinite!!!"

A blinding light shone from the Archmage's staff, instantly distorting space. From the torn rift, countless magical arrows surged forth, piercing through the defenseless head of the Machine Emperor, Divine Mind, and blasting it to smithereens!

“Boom————————————————”

Since Machine Emperor - Divine Mind - Infinite was in defense mode, Placido did not suffer any combat damage.

However, infinity is the core of Machine Emperor's Mind. When this card is destroyed, the other components also collapse and shatter, turning into energy fragments scattered everywhere!
"Tsk..." Placido's face darkened. He had almost no means to summon the Machine Emperor - Divine Mind again.

"Set one card face down, end of turn!" You Qing was now in an invincible position, and all he had to do was wait for his next turn's attack opportunity.

A flicker of resentment and ferocity flashed in Placido's eyes as he gritted his teeth and roared, "My turn! Draw a card!!"

"Activate the High-Speed ​​Spell Card - SP Synchro Destruction!!"

"Gain control of your Synchro Monster, Arcane Magister, until the end of this turn!!"

You Qing's gaze turned cold: "This card of mine has been waiting for the entire duel!!"

"Chain activation of Trap Card - Burst Mode!!"

"Unleash the Arcane Mage, Special Summon—Arcane Mage: Burst Form!!!"

The light emanating from the Arcane Gem suddenly twisted into a bizarre spiral, and the twelve chains shattered in mid-air, transforming into countless runes burning with dark golden flames!
The Archmage's robes began to tear apart inch by inch, revealing his body wreathed in liquid flames. As those flames moved through the air, they even cut fine, spiderweb-like cracks into the space itself!
With a flick of his right hand, the twelve Arcane Gems exploded simultaneously, unleashing a torrent of energy like countless golden lightning bolts. Space collapsed wherever it passed. At the center of this energy storm, the Arcane Magister, clad in armor formed from pure magic, slowly opened his vertical pupils, radiating an aura of destruction!
[Arcanite Mage - Burst Form]

Nine Stars

[Light Attribute/Magician Clan]

[Attack/Defense: 900/2300]

"The effect of Arcane Magister Burst!!" You Qing announced loudly, "When this card is successfully Special Summoned, place two Spell Counters on this card, and this card gains ATK equal to each Spell Counter * 1000!!!"

“Beep beep beep————————————”

[Arcanite Mage - Burst Form, Attack Power: 900 → 2900] (End of Chapter)
