Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: The Path of Evolution

A magnificent square box rises from the ground, its layout resembling the tabletop of a whack-a-mole machine.

The hurricane blown by the turbine was drawn by the power of this strange box and crookedly disappeared into one of its round holes.

Karen loudly explained the card's effect.

"Activate when the opponent's monster declares an attack, flip a coin and guess heads or tails."

"If the guess is correct, the attack power of the monster will be reduced to zero until the end of the battle phase!"

"When you toss a coin, it's always heads!"

The copper-colored coin flipped face-up in mid-air, and finally landed heads up!

"It's a head-on collision, ha! Your turbine attack is at zero!"

Next-generation turbines

[Four-star] 1800/1200→0/1200

The hurricane sucked into the monster box blew out as a gentle breeze, only ruffling Karen's hair without harming him in the slightest.

He gasped for breath, as if he had been miraculously saved, and cold sweat poured down his face like a waterfall.

Guan Bai observed his disheveled state and ended his turn.

"Set one card face down, end turn."

"My turn, draw a card!"

"During the preparation phase, I choose to pay 500 base points to maintain the existence of the Monster Box."

Karen Lin's LP: 1500 → 1000

The enemy didn't even get a single touch, but my base score is already close to its limit!

He clearly had a lucky element installed in his duel disk, so every time he flipped a coin, he got the number of sides he wanted.

But even with such a sure-fire hit, why can't he still beat this Kanpaku in front of him?

Karen looked at the card she had drawn with trembling eyes.

The moment he saw Katu, his eyes gleamed!

"The inside side represents a monster, and the turn ends."

If this monster's effect works, he can turn the tide and win!

"My turn."

Kanpaku drew a card and used Wind Sweep to sweep Karen's back row.

"Activate the quick-attack spell, Whirlwind, destroy your monster box!"

"Battle Phase"

"Next-generation turbines, attack the monster indicated on the inside!"

"You've been tricked! The monster I covered up was a dice pot!!"

【Dice Pot】

【Effect】

[Demon/Earth]

[Two-star] 800/800

"When it flips, both players must roll the dice!"

"The player with the lower score will suffer damage equal to 500 times the difference in scores!"

"When one side rolls a six, the side with the lower number will suffer 6000 points of effect damage!"

Karen has the luck to win, she's sure to roll a six!

The opponent will then suffer 6000 points of damage and be defeated instantly!

This is his trump card for an absolute comeback; no one can escape it.

In the previous nine duels, three of them were turned around using this method, and this so-called Guan Bai in front of me definitely can't escape it either!

However, the sound coming from the other side wasn't because of the reduction in life points, but because a trap card had been activated!

A trap with a red card frame suddenly opened in front of Karen.

Guan Bai's clear voice entered my ears as he explained the effect of the card.

"Activate face-down card, counter Trap Dice Impact!"

"The effect of rolling the dice in the dice pot is negated and destroyed!"

This card is one of the various stylish junk items that Kanpaku obtained when opening system card packs.

He originally thought he would never have the chance to use this card in his lifetime.

Unexpectedly, I actually ran into a Karen using a gambling deck today.

So he deliberately puts three cards in his deck, just waiting to counter his opponent!

And now, the expression on his opponent's face is just as fascinating as Guan Bai had hoped!

With a joyful heart, Kanpaku inserted the last Trap Card from his hand into the Duel Disk.

"Set one card face down, end turn."

"Your turn, Karen!"

His feigned modesty sounded like the devil's whisper to Karen.

He only won a few games by cheating.

Why would Heaven send down such a demon to punish him?

"My turn, draw a card!"

"Activating the second Holy Grail Ace, face up, I draw two cards from my deck!"

Looking at the card she drew, Karen's smile vanished.

He didn't know the extent to which this official was targeting him.

I wonder if Kanpaku has drawn a card that can resist him.

Summoning monsters, which used to be as easy as breathing, has now become as difficult as the final leg of a marathon.

"Let me show you... my trump card..."

He wanted to speak with power, but when he did, he was so timid.

"Normal summon: Stealth Sniper."

Stealth Sniper

【Effect】

[Demon/Dark]

[Four-star] 1500/600

No traps were triggered during the summoning!

It seems that the card that Kanpaku had wasn't from the God series or the Cave series!

The ace made a successful appearance, but Karen's mood became even more somber.

He began to worry that Kanpaku's back row might be a second-speed removal.

The phrase "a bird startled by the twang of a bow" and "seeing enemies in every bush and tree" perfectly describes his mentality.

There's no other way. In the very end, let him take a real gamble!

The thought of "gambling" ignited a strange fighting spirit in Karen's heart.

He shouted loudly, as if he had squeezed out all his potential.

"The effect of Stealth Sniper is to discard one card from your hand, target one card on the field, and roll a die once."

"As long as the points are not one or six, that card can be destroyed."

"And this effect doesn't only occur once per round!"

This card is, in a sense, equivalent to a small visit.

If you hit every time, you can clear the opponent's entire field by throwing cards!

"Now I discard a card from my hand to activate its effect!"

Do not make a move, do not make a move!

Karen stared intently at Guan Bai's card, praying incessantly.

However, without external interference, things often don't go as planned; this is the norm in the world.

The sound of Guan Bai opening the cover card was like a final verdict, shattering Karen's last hope.

"Chain your monster effects, activate a Continuous Trap, and unleash a barrage of attacks!"

"When either you or your opponent rolls the dice, one of the numbers drawn can be used as the following numbers!"

「1、3、5为6，2、4、6为1！」

"What?!"

The stealth sniper effect does not apply when throwing 1 or 6 points.

This card forces all points to become 1 and 6!

In other words, his monster effects are disabled!

Look at the image on the top of this card; it depicts exactly the situation where a stealth sniper's shot fails.

This is clearly another card targeting me!

The Heart-Turning Bull Walker is a killer, the Battle-Ranked Demon-Sealing Triple-Power Man, the Kang Dice's Dice Counterattack, and the Random Shots Against the Stealth Sniper...

Every card hit his sore spot perfectly!

Could this Kanpaku have other cards specifically designed to counter him?

"I...I, I."
