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

Chapter 63 Speed ​​63 Millimeters
“Boom boom boom————————————————”

The reverberating storm rolled towards the opponent's backfield. To protect that card, the enemy revealed another face-down card: "Quick Attack Magic - Forbidden Holy Grail!"

"Target a face-up monster on the field, increase that monster's ATK by 400 until the end of this turn, and negate its effect!!"

"This way, your Synchro Monster's ability won't be activated, and my Face Card will be safe~"

"In the end, your monster's attack power will only be 2400 points!!"

The forbidden Holy Grail...

When seeing this somewhat nostalgic card, the underground duelists present were all in a trance.

They vaguely realized that the mysterious duelist in black robe today seemed different from usual. During the previous duels, he was very silent and never spoke except for necessary explanations.

But this time, he talked unexpectedly much, and the cards he used were even more ancient than before...

Under the influence of that fast-attack magic card, You Qing's effect failed to be successfully activated. He looked at the opponent's only remaining cover card and analyzed it secretly.

Judging from the situation, it would be a bit rash to launch an attack in this situation, but considering the urgency of time, we can only give it a try.

Even if you really fall into a trap, the cards you just drew can make up for it.

"Enter the battle phase!!" You Qing pointed at the transformable mecha, Gunner Dragon, "Allied Forces, Next Generation Artillery!! Launch the attack!!"

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

The gushing flames transformed into a fire snake, fiercely biting at the enemy! !

In order to trick the opponent, You Qing chose to attack with a monster with lower attack power, but the opponent did not activate the cover card at all. With a "bang", the attacked monster turned into pieces, and a little combat impact followed.

You Qing hesitated for a moment, then issued another order, ordering the next generation of wind energy people to launch a direct attack.

At this moment, the enemy's trap card finally played out, and it turned out to be a continuous trap card - Cry of the Living Dead?!

"To counter your direct attack, I've resurrected Dragonite from the graveyard!" the mysterious figure in the black robe sneered. "Since this is a Special Summon, Dragonite's attack power won't be halved; it'll remain at a full 2,800 points!"

"My monster is much stronger than yours~"

"Are you still going to attack, boy?"

“Ka-ka-ka-ka-ka————————————”

The resurrected mechanical monster fully unfolded. This time, in its full combat form, it turned into a turret more than three meters high, with its red gun barrel pointed at the monsters on the game field.

Because the number of monsters on the enemy field has changed, You Qing's attack is rolled back and a new decision must be made!!

Under the ever-changing neon lights of the underground duel arena, You Qing could see Keith's wicked smile. He frowned, but despite the attack rollback decision, he still chose to continue attacking: "Next-generation Wind Man!! Attack the Variable Beast Gunner Dragon!!!"

"What?" Keith Howard, who was hiding in the black robe, was surprised.

The surging storm poured out and the heavy guns and cannons roared.

At the moment the two monsters' attacks collided, You Qing flipped open the face-down card he had set last turn: "Activate Trap Card—Chained Boomerang. When this card is activated, it becomes an Equip Card and equips Next-Gen Wind Man!! Increases its Attack by 500!!!" Because the effect was negated and the covering magic trap disappeared, Next-Gen Wind Man could not gain attack power through his own abilities. However, this turn, thanks to the effects of Forbidden Holy Grail and Chained Boomerang, he still received a -point attack bonus!

After a series of fluctuations, it barely surpassed the opponent's Variable Beast Gunner Dragon with an attack power of 2900.

There was a loud bang, and the Variable Beast Gunner Dragon was blown into pieces by the strong wind. Another weak impact hit, lowering the opponent's LP.

“Beep beep beep————————————”

Keith Howard, LP: 3500 → 3400

This game attracted the king's attention.

The superior Jack Atlas narrowed his eyes and looked at the duelist of similar age with interest.

Seeing this, someone in the nearby underground duel arena smiled knowingly and introduced him, "His name is You Qing. He's a dark horse in this tournament. His strength and potential are immeasurable, but compared to you, Wang, he's still far behind."

"Stop talking nonsense," Jack Atlas said coldly. "What about the other person? Who is he?"

The man was a little hesitant. He didn't know whether he should tell Wang about this matter. Fortunately, the situation in the audience did not make him feel embarrassed for too long, because after losing in the first round, Keith Howard, who had been hiding under the black robe, actually took off his cloak and revealed his true identity in front of everyone.

"A boomerang with a chain..." Keith Howard, dressed in a suit and tie, adjusted his shirt collar while picking up a cigar with the help of someone beside him. "Whenever I see this card, I think of that yellow-haired bastard~"

"Honestly, before this duel, I didn't take you, a fledgling, seriously~"

"But now, I am a little interested in you~"

Keith Howard took a drag on his cigar, exhaled the smoke and grinned.

"The more talented a young man is, the more I want to crush him to death in my hands~"

"I haven't felt this kind of feeling for a long time~"

"Now, let's have some fun~"

When they saw the elegantly dressed but scarred old man beneath the black robe, everyone was stunned for a moment. But they soon recognized him as Keith Howard, the underground dueling veteran who had once battled the legendary duelist Katsuya Jonouchi!
Nowadays, no one on the street calls him a "thief" anymore. Instead, they respectfully call him "Uncle Keith". In terms of age and qualifications, he fully deserves this title.

The whole place was filled with expressions of shock, and even the usually aloof Jack Atlas couldn't help but tremble suddenly.

You Qing, who had been prepared, just looked a little serious. He put down a cover card and ended the round.

It was Uncle Keith's turn. He stretched his stiff neck slightly, then sneered and played a magic card with a price enough to buy the lives of everyone in the audience:

"Since you don't plan to pretend anymore, I'll show you some good stuff~"

“It’s my turn!!”

"Activate—Pot of Greed!!"
