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

Chapter 39 Speed ​​39 Dragon Seal and Phantom Wings
In an abandoned and deserted neighborhood, a few shriveled rats were foraging on the edge of the road. Not long after, the ground shook slightly, and a seemingly shabby D-wheeler sped past, scaring away these creatures with long tails.

Driving the newly acquired D-wheeled vehicle, You Qing quickly headed towards Area F17. It was still dark, so he could probably get back before the factory shift changed.

The last time I checked the machine, the wear and tear was already very obvious. I guess it won't be long before another problem occurs. However, as long as I can get it back to be repaired before the shift change, there is no need to worry too much even if a problem does occur.

Gusts of cold wind whistled past his face as You Qing drove the D wheel, recalling everything that had just happened in the black market.

According to the original plan, he just came to purchase a card deck, but after many twists and turns, he actually got a D-round vehicle?
Although this D-wheel is a bit old, it should be enough for participating in the competition. Besides, there is still about half a month before the high-speed duel competition. He can find a way to modify this D-wheel into a better one during these days.

In the black market, as long as it is a D-wheel car, no matter what the quality is, the price is at the ceiling level. The money for one D-wheel car is more than enough to buy five of Dickade's privately assembled broken cars.

only……

I don't know how Dickard will react when he finds out about this.

You Qing couldn't help but sigh and smiled helplessly.

But at this moment, a burning pain came from his right arm and his face suddenly turned pale.

"Tsk!!"

"Were you injured in the duel just now..."

He thought so, but still kept on going, until the intense pain made him break out in cold sweats all over his body, and he was forced to stop the D wheeler on the side of the road and check the injury on his arm.

You Qing frowned and pulled up his sleeves, but the scene before him shocked him.

I saw a special mark on his arm glowing crimson. It looked like a wing, a dragon wing on the left side only!
"This is... a dragon seal?!"

You Qing was extremely surprised. When he was about to take a closer look at the mark, an ethereal dragon roar suddenly echoed in his mind. Then his whole body seemed to be pulled away to another world, and he saw a series of strange scenes like a kaleidoscope.

The destroyed city...

A giant painting of the earth burning with purple flames...

The terrifying evil god that devoured tens of thousands of lives...

He had seen all of these in the original animation!
It seemed that the ancient god did not want him to know too much now. When You Qing was about to look down, a white light lit up, and he was back to the deserted and abandoned block, with the old D-wheeled car still next to him.

Large patches of sweat soaked You Qing's clothes. The pain just now was nothing compared to this illusion. He recalled the plot in the animation while muttering to himself:
"Red Dragon... It's a Red Dragon!"

"That thing on my arm... is a dragon seal!!"

In his memory, the dragon-marked man with dragon wings was Jack Atlas, but now, it seemed that because of his appearance, the dragon wings were split into two parts, one on the left and one on the right.

Is it...

Is it because of the double victory just achieved?
You Qing secretly guessed it, but had no way to confirm it.

He didn't know the real reason why the red dragon gave him the mark. Judging from the scene in the hallucination, it might be for the disaster that would happen several years later. He also didn't know whether his travel to this world was the red dragon's intention.

but……

With this dragon seal, his chances of returning to his original world increased.

The burning pain gradually faded, and the mark gradually became lighter until it disappeared completely...

After a few minutes, You Qing could no longer see any marks on his arms, only scars left from training.

"call……"

You Qing took a long breath. He needed some time to sort out his thoughts.

He gripped the handlebars again and prepared to continue on his way, but a strange card that appeared on the duel panel at some point caught his attention.

Just as every Dragon Seal holder will receive a legendary Dragon Card, the moment You Qing was given the Dragon Seal, a brand new Dragon Synchro Monster also appeared before him.

Picking up the card, You Qing suddenly became alert and unconsciously called out the card's name:
"Phantom Wing... Synchro Dragon?!" [Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon]

【Seven Stars】

[Wind Attribute/Dragon]

[Attack/Defense: 2500/2000]

[Summoning Conditions: Tuner + one or more non-Tuner monsters]

[Effect: Once per turn, when the effect of a Level 5 or higher monster other than this card is activated, negate its activation and destroy it. Once per turn, when an effect is activated that targets only one Level 5 or higher monster on the field, negate its activation and destroy it. If this card's effect destroys a monster, this card's ATK increases by the original ATK of the monster destroyed by this card's effect until the end of this turn.]

You Qing was overjoyed. After repeatedly confirming the name and effect of this card, he put it into the deck.

How did the Dragon Sealer obtain the Dragon Card?

This point does not seem to be mentioned in the original book.

Jack Atlas's Dragon Seal seems to be innate, so he probably obtained the True Crimson Demon Dragon after obtaining the Dragon Seal; and Fudo Yusei's Dragon Seal appeared much later, so he must have obtained the Stardust Dragon before obtaining the Dragon Seal.

The power of the red dragon is too mysterious, and the reasons are difficult to investigate.

You Qing could only tentatively assume that he had been chosen by the Red Dragon from the moment he crossed over, and the double victory he had just achieved was like an opportunity to unlock the power, allowing him to obtain the Dragon Seal and the Dragon Card.

Although the mark on his arm had disappeared, You Qing knew very well that it would be activated again as long as he got close to or duelled with other Dragon Markers.

“Buzz————————————————”

The roar of the D round resounded in the darkness again.

The appearance of the Red Dragon made You Qing more determined to stick to his original goal. He wanted to participate in the Satellite Area High-Speed ​​Duel Competition in half a month, and use that opportunity to enter the New Tongshiye City!
This is not only to leave this ruined garbage dump, but also to prepare for the disaster that will occur several years later. Only when they arrive in Shindo Mino City will the Dragon Sealers awaken the power to fight against the Dark Sealers.

perhaps……

As long as we can defeat those evil gods and finally save this city...

He can use the power of the red dragon to return to his original world and realize the dream he and his best friend share!

You Qing drove all the way from the unmanned Area X to Area F where the factory was located.

On this way, he naturally passed by the underground duel venue - Area R.

In an underground venue with flashing lights and noisy voices, the second half of the round of 32 to 16 had just ended. Stacks of banknotes were piled on a wooden table in the corner. A fat man with a toothpick in his mouth picked up the phone under the guard of two burly men with guns.

"Hehehe~ Of course~"

"It's that kid's turn tonight~"

"Just do as I say~"

"Let him win, always let him win~"

"Just wait until everyone has placed their money on him, and then defeat him."

"No, there's no need to wait for the king to make a move. The king's appearance will only tilt the odds."

"Let that guy come~"

"Notorious, yet an underground duelist who has endured three eras~"

"As long as he is given a large sum of money, he will be able to defeat that guy easily~"

"After all, he was once a bounty hunter—a 'thief'~"
