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

The Scrap Beast's attack, accompanied by a whirlwind of acceleration, slammed into Allen's body, a swift and devastating blow aimed directly at him.

Faced with his monster's charge, Allen gritted his teeth and opened the cover card.

"Activate the Continuous Trap Card, Blood Sacrifice!"

"Based on its effect, I can summon a monster from my hand by paying 500 Life Points during my Main Phase and my opponent's Battle Phase!"

[Alan Green's LP: 4000 → 3500]

"I'm going to Normal Summon the Scrap Chimera!"

A majestic, scrap metal lion's head emerged from the void, followed by a dark brown body. It spread its old, steel-framed wings and hovered high in the air, looking down at the scrap metal beast opposite it.

Overwhelmed by the immense pressure, the Scrap Iron Beast dared not advance any further and had no choice but to turn back to the field of the Miyako Tiger Hall.

"I see. So the effect of the Steel Dragon is that it can directly attack the opponent player."

Koji Torado issued another attack order, and the mechanical lifeform with drills all over its body began to spin rapidly.

It transformed itself into a spinning, advancing drill, breaking through Allen's defenses from underground and striking Allen in the abdomen from below!

The powerful impact sent Allen flying, and he crashed to the ground.

[Alan's LP: 3500→1900]

"Activate the Continuous Spell Card, Dimensional Rift."

The moment Miyako Torado inserted this magic card into the Duel Disk, an invisible cracking sound appeared on the field.

A rift opened in the air behind him, revealing nothing but an endless expanse of deep purple.

An invisible suction force enveloped the entire dueling arena.

"You must know about its effects, Alan."

Alan was sweating profusely.

Seeing Allen's reaction, Lai Gong began to explain the card's effect in a serious manner.

"The effect of Dimensional Rift is that, as long as it exists face-up on the field, monsters sent to the Graveyard are not sent to the Graveyard, but are banished directly."

This is going to completely counter the scrap metal deck!

Guan Bai, standing on the platform, frowned deeply, confirming once again that this person who had come to the palace would be difficult to deal with.

For a scrap metal deck, the most important place is the graveyard. All of its lower-level monsters are designed to accumulate and recycle graveyard resources.

Although Allen's scrap metal deck is not a standard playstyle, it is relatively less affected.

However, the inability to freely use scrap metal monsters to recycle graveyards is still a significant drawback!

The effects of the Scrap Chimera, Search Bird, and Stone Golem are basically useless now!

Moreover, due to the effect of the Sword of Obsession, it will definitely be the card to be drawn in the next round, and drawing the wind card will be at least another round later!

In other words, Allen has to keep fighting against this perpetual card that's targeting him!

On the stage.

Allen glared at Kurumiya Torado, feeling frustrated and indignant at Torado's series of attacks.

And these thoughts of Alan were naturally also grasped by Torado Raimiya, and were within his prior expectations.

Because Allen participated in so many competitions, the records he left behind are rich and detailed.

This allowed Lai Gong to fully utilize his profiler skills and completely perfect Alan's character portrait.

Compared to Allen, Samejima, who uses the electronic flow, is harder to find information about because he is a relatively new player and has had fewer duels.

Fortunately, he has already been eliminated by Guan Bai.

Lai Gong mentally reviewed the information he had gathered over the past few days and then placed another card on the field.

"I'll set one more card face down, then the turn ends."

It's Allen's turn again.

The instant Allen drew his card, Lai Gong opened the first trap card he had set down.

"Activate the trap, and your mind will collapse."

"Declare a card name. If the card with the declared card name is in your hand, you need to discard all cards with that card name; otherwise, you need to discard one card from your hand."

"The card name I'm declaring will naturally be 'Sword of Obsession'!"

"Say it now, quickly send the sword of obsession in your hand to the graveyard!"

With his right hand pointing straight at Allen's nose, Kojiro Torado's fingertips were like a fired pistol, and this invisible bullet forced Allen's body back!

Allen felt frustrated and resentful, but there was nothing he could do. He could only tremble as he discarded the sword of obsession from the card.

Lai Gong's refined yet hypocritical voice rang out again.

"The effect of Sword of Obsession activates; when it is sent to the Graveyard, it returns to the top of your Deck!"

The Duel Disk spat out the Sword of Obsession with such force that it almost sent the card flying out of its slot.

It's as if the Duel Disk itself is also feeling frustrated by this insurmountable predicament.

Allen put the Sword of Obsession back into the deck, then looked at the two cards left in his hand: a Scrap Hunter and a Meteor Strike.

If you summon the Scrap Hunter now, you can use the Meteor Strike effect and the Scrap Chimera to deal a lot of damage to your opponent.

But did Miyako Torado know that he had these two cards in his hand?

If I had known, would I have used the scrap metal chimera directly in the next battle, as I had anticipated when I came to Miyakodo?

What tactics should I choose?

His conflicting thoughts and guesses about his opponent left Allen's mind in complete chaos, and he couldn't imagine how to win!

"End of round..."

A thought flashed through my mind like lightning.

Just fight with all your might, and let your soul be satisfied.

In my mind, a familiar voice originates from where memories are stored, echoing between every neuron.

Allen looked up and saw Joel and Kanpaku cheering him on in the opposite audience.

wrong!

Allen shook his head, letting go of all the negativity.

Ending the round like that isn't my fighting style!

Since he's targeting me so much at Gonghu Hall, maybe he has a plan for every choice I make?

If that's the case, then what is he still hesitating about!

Since everything is already part of the plan, he might as well just start fighting at his own pace; at least that way he can have a good, satisfying battle!

Allen forcefully slammed the card onto the court.

"I usually summon the Scrap Metal Hunter!"

With its tracks turning and grinding, the heavy, steel-made hunter slowly entered the battlefield, its eyes fixed on the enemy. As soon as a weakness appeared, its cannon would fire!

Now, it was Rikiya Torado's turn to secretly realize he was in trouble.

For the first time, he felt that his opponent's actions were beyond his expectations. In his calculations, Allen should have ended the round because of his hesitation!

"Equip the Scrap Hunter with Meteor Strike, and it will gain the ability to pierce targets!"

"Battle Phase!!"

"Scrap Metal Hunter, tear that disgusting slug to shreds! Hunt down Meteor!!"

The Scrap Hunter's powerful right hand lifted the cannon barrel on his left arm, where red-hot energy gathered, and the force of the meteor strike was also mixed in.

"boom!!"

The orange-red cannon fire dimmed the surrounding scenery, and like a meteor trailing a flame, it pierced through the embodiment of hatred and struck directly at Miyako Torado!
