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

When traveling the martial arts world, the most essential items are a mask and a cloak.

Fortunately, these items were in Guan Bai's personal storage space.

After being chased twice, he specifically asked Joel for these items so that he could use them to escape the next time he was caught by the police.

I never expected that the first time I would use it would be to deal with these thugs.

Kanpaku pulled a mask with dragon horns out of thin air, put it on, and then made the Duel Disk simulate the material of dragon bones.

Excellent, a dragon duelist has been born.

Now, it's hunting time!

……

"Damn it, so what if they're from the city? Acting all high and mighty, calling me to find some Gray Snake Gang in the middle of the night!"

The thug with the yellow headscarf kicked an abandoned trash can and said viciously.

Another green-haired thug sighed.

"Who told him to be a duelist? Alright, stop complaining. Maybe he'll give up when he can't find the place?"

"well……"

Being a thug isn't easy...

We're being bullied by the officials, and our wages won't increase by even a penny!

"Splat..."

"Sigh, when I get back this time, I'm going to switch jobs!! You agree, right? You agree...right? Where is everyone?"

The thug with the yellow headscarf looked around and realized that his friends were nowhere to be seen.

He stood frozen in the alley, the entrance to which was pitch black, like a gaping maw. In the depths of the empty alley, a dark shadow seemed to flicker, only to be swallowed up by the thick darkness of the night.

No matter how he called out, he only received his own echo in response.

"No way...did we run into some kind of ghost or monster...?"

He heard footsteps and followed behind them!

"What R...?"

The thug quickly turned around, only to be met with a glowing duel disk!

"Snapped!"

The thugs collapsed, and Guan Bai appeared.

He stroked the duel disk on his arm, sighing with considerable experience.

"This thing is really hard..."

The duel disk was still clanging as it was being slammed onto the heads of these thugs.

While sighing, Guan Bai squatted down, took some money from the thug, and then dragged him to another dark corner.

He has already knocked out three thugs tonight and earned about eight thousand yuan in extra money.

Well, only that mountain town is left.

Several traps were set up at the intersections, and Kanpaku approached the target.

The arrogant city dweller was still preoccupied with finding the location of the Gray Serpent Studio, completely ignoring the vanished thugs.

Perhaps in his eyes, the people in these satellite areas deserve to be bossed around by him, and it's normal for them to get lost.

Guan Bai could hear that the mountain town was still cursing angrily.

"As expected of the satellite district's trash, they can't even handle something as simple as finding their way!"

Guan Bai couldn't help but complain out loud.

"When it comes to finding your way around, aren't you just as bad?"

The sudden sound startled Shancheng, who quickly turned around to look for the source of the voice.

The sound originated from the alleyway entrance. When Shancheng opened his eyes, he saw a peculiar figure standing there, backlit by the moonlight.

The flashlight shone on the figure, and Yamashiro saw it clearly...

WTF?!

That looks like an army dragon!

Green skin, dark brown dragon horns, and a strange, wing-like cape behind him!

The unopened duel disk was made entirely of dark green scales and skeleton, with no gaps between it and the arm, as if it were growing on the flesh.

What the hell is that?!

Yamashiro instinctively raised the duel disk and shrank back.

"What kind of monster are you?!"

"Just a dragon duelist passing by, remember that!"

Guan Bai gave his answer, looking at Yamashiro's face with great interest.

This person seems to be very afraid of themselves.

Is it because of the mask?

Kanpaku stuffed his deck into the shrinking Duel Disk and opened it up against Yamashiro.

"Duel! Win and I'll let you go; otherwise—die!"

His deliberately hoarse voice sounded to the mountain town like the howl of a strange man hunting.

Shancheng had realized that the guy in front of him was definitely a person, but he was definitely not a simple person!

He remembered that there had always been a legend among duelists about rare card hunters.

It is said that there is a group of powerful individuals who roam the streets and alleys at night, hunting down lone duelists and stealing their rare cards.

Could it be such a coincidence that he ran into one today?

Why is the Rare Card Hunter here?!

Especially the moment the Duel Disk was unfurled, Yamashiro vaguely saw a flowing red light appearing behind the monster!

What's going on? Does this guy know the legendary Dark Duel?!

The worst mistake I ever made was theft, so why would the heavens send down a rare card hunter to punish me?

Escape is out of the question; it seems the only hope is a duel.

Shancheng took a deep breath, then looked up and said.

"Then... let's duel!"

Guan Bai was a little curious as to why this mountain town didn't run away. Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of him setting up tripwires in front of it?

But that's good! It's easier to catch an opponent who won't run away!

"Duel!!" x2

[Kanpaku LP: 4000]

【Mountain City LP: 4000】

"I'll take the first strike... I'll make it!"

Driven by his will to survive, Yamashiro burst into an astonishingly fast speech, unexpectedly gaining the initiative.

Guan Bai hadn't expected that he had created so much psychological pressure on this mountain town, making the man feel like he was "fighting to the death."

His lips, hidden beneath the mask, twitched.

Okay, let's see how far you can struggle.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Yamashiro tried to speak loudly to calm his growing fear.

"I usually summon the Mech Soldier, and then, based on its effect, I Special Summon the Mech Sniper from my hand in Attack Position."

A green mechanical warrior descended from the sky, landing with a clang on the ground. It brandished a gleaming sword on its arm, then signaled for reinforcements to the sky.

Another robot carrying a sniper cannon landed and stood in front of Kanpaku as an obstacle.

Mech Soldier

【Effect】

[Mechanical/Ground]

[Four-star] 1600/1500

Mech Sniper

【Effect】

[Mechanical/Ground]

[Four-star] 1800/800

"Activate the perpetual magic, to the front line of the mech forces."

The Continuous Spell, which had failed to be effective against Allen, was activated again, and steel trenches rose from the ground behind the two monsters.

Yamashiro Gangyuan covered a card and exhaled a breath of stale air.

"I set one card face down, end of turn!"

The turn of the recluse.

The deck he chose this time was a Dragoon deck.

Of course, it's sold in bulk.

Kanpaku didn't draw Thunder Spear or Red Spear, so he couldn't utilize the Dragon Rider Synchronization system; he also didn't draw powerful archetype cards like Dragon Valley, Silver Oak Sword, and Calamity Sword.

There are even fewer future reinforcement cards like those for the Senate and Commander.

I do have a copy of Dragon Taming, but... I won't put the Full Power Dragon Riders in my deck.

So this time, Kanpaku plans to use this Yamashiro credit card wallet.

After all, if Guan Bai really drew the entire Dragon Rider deck, why would he still be agonizing over Next Generation and Valley of the Dawn in the competition?

However, there are ways to play a deck with a mix of cards. The current Dragon Rider deck by Kanpaku is a heavy trap and beat deck with a lot of trap cards mixed in.

His goal is to bring joy to his opponents!

"My turn, draw a card!"
