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

As soon as the giant bird appeared, a bad premonition began to flare up in Lai Gong's mind.

He quickly opened the covered card.

"Activate a trap card to force the device out! Return your Giant Bird to your hand!! Now you're guaranteed to lose!"

"The effect of the Giant Bird of the Valley of Mist! When a monster, spell, or trap card effect is activated, you can return one Valley of Mist card from the field to your hand to activate this effect, negate it, and destroy it!!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Kanpaku immediately activated the monster effect of the Giant Bird.

Witness the power of Tricolor Kang!

"What?! How could there be such a monster?!"

The look in Miyako Torado's eyes was filled with disbelief.

He never expected that the giant bird in front of him would be such a powerful card!

Kanpaku retrieved the Kazekage of the Valley of the Mist from the field into his hand.

The divine wind swirling around the duel arena merged with the divine bird, transforming into a golden rainbow's breath that pierced through the trap card of the palace.

"Then, I will activate the Divine Wind of the Valley of Mist."

The field card drive allowed the scenery of the Valley of Dawn to once again envelop the entire arena, and from this wind of dawn, a blue vulture soared through the air!

It was Guan Baifa who used the last card in his hand, the effect of the Mist Vulture!

"Activate the effect of Mist Vulture, return the Thunderbird from the Mist Valley to your hand, then Special Summon itself, its ATK becomes 1700!"

【Misty Bald Eagle】

[Four-star] 1400/400→1700/400

With a wind-type monster returning to hand, the Valley of Mist's Divine Wind can certainly be activated again!

The effect is described as once per turn, rather than once per turn according to the card name. That's how sturdy and durable this old-fashioned card is!

"Special Summon Valley of the Mist Falcon from your Deck, then Special Summon Valley of the Mist Thunderbird from your Hand!"

In the misty winds that swept across the battlefield, the Thunderbirds chirped merrily, leading the brown-winged falcon warriors as they flew past, circling and landing in front of Kanpaku.

The Falcon of the Valley of Mist

[Four-star] 2000/1200

Thunderbird of the Valley of Mist

Samsung 1100/700

In that short instant, four monsters gathered on the field, each one adding a pound of stone to the heart of the Reaper.

"As expected of the Regent-senpai, he managed to counterattack so effectively despite the interference of such traps!"

On the stage, Enya Shin stroked his chin, marveling at the Kanpaku's ability to perform consecutive Special Summons.

Allen glanced back at him and nodded in deep agreement.

The two then turned to the arena and joined the audience in cheering for Kanpaku.

"Advanced to the combat rank!"

"Giant Bird of the Valley of Mist, crush the Mad Data Collector! Heavenly Feather Strike!"

The giant bird spread its enormous wings and shook them violently. Thousands of golden feathers rained down from the sky like arrows, piercing the demon's body and tearing through Miyako Torado's flesh.

[Lai Gonghutang LP: 7400→7300]

Lai Gong roared in pain as he flew backward, crashing heavily to the ground with a muffled groan.

However, the attack by the recluse did not stop because of his pain!

"Then came the direct attack from the Mist Vultures!"

[Lai Gonghutang LP: 7300→5600]

"Finally, I will return the Thunderbird of the Valley of Mist to my hand, allowing the Falcon of the Valley of Mist to launch a direct attack on you!"

[Lai Gonghutang LP: 5600→3600]

"A brilliant three-pronged attack! Kanpaku has finally broken through Kuromiya's entire defense, instantly destroying his advantage!"

"The relentless, storm-like attacks have left Kimiya battered and bruised!"

"Kanpaku, Kanpaku, Kanpaku!"

"Regent, I have to make sure we win!!"

Excited howls and loud cheers filled the air, as if the audience had also participated in the attack on Kuromiya Torado.

Three consecutive blows sent the previously composed Komiya Torado rolling on the ground in a panic.

The painful physical reaction and the humiliating mental anguish shattered Kodo's thoughts. He lay on the ground trying to get up, but due to exhaustion, he fell hard again.

My turn is over.

The sound of Guan Bai ending his turn floated into his ears, finally bringing him back to his senses.

Despite the cool and comfortable breeze blowing on the field, Miyako Todo was covered in sweat.

Now he's used up all his traps, and all he has left is a useless Discordant Counterattack!

The only cards that can still activate their effects in the next turn are Monster Resurrection in the hand and Killer Snake in the graveyard.

If only two effects can be activated, one of them will definitely be resisted by Kanpaku's Giant Bird!

Neither the Resurrection of the Dead nor the Killer Serpent card could allow him to defeat Kanpaku!

It all depends on the next draw; let's see what the third one will bring!

"My turn, draw a card!!!"

The black hole's card appeared in Lai Gong's eyes!

When Miyako saw the last card draw, a look of ecstasy spread across his face. The miraculous draw in the face of despair gave him hope again, which had brought him to the brink of collapse.

The so-called dueling profiler is nothing more than a duelist who wants to win!

Come to the Palace Tiger Hall and press the button for the cemetery.

"During the Preparation Phase, I activate the effect of the Killer Snake in the Graveyard! It returns to my hand from the Graveyard!"

The near-rank return effect of the Killer Serpent is indeed quite good when used in conjunction with the Mad Data Collector.

But whatever the effect, the Giant Bird is cured!

"Activate the effect of the Giant Bird, returning the Thunderbird of the Valley of Mist to your hand, and negating the effect of the Killer Serpent!"

After Thunderbird returns to the hand, its field effects and monster effects are triggered.

Kanpaku Special Summoned a third Mist Valley Warrior from his deck and also Special Summoned Thunderbird Guardian from his backhand.

Ha! Using your precious resistance effect so carelessly, that's where the stupidity of a low-level duelist like you lies!

Now, eat my complete destruction!

Miyakodo's smile was practically reaching for the sky.

"Haha! Activate the spell card, Black Hole! Destroy all the monsters on both my and yours!!"

A black vortex appeared at the center of the Kaze of Mist, its powerful suction drawing in all the rainbow-colored divine winds, threatening to destroy all of Kanpaku's monsters.

however……

"I activate the effect of the Giant Bird of the Valley of Mist again, returning the Thunder Bird on the field to my hand, negating its effect, and destroying it!"

I don't understand, the Giant Bird is dead!

Lai Gonghutang's smile froze, and he fell into a daze of disbelief.

"What?! This effect doesn't have a one-turn effect?!"

"yes."

Guan Bai shrugged indifferently.

This is the power of the old-fashioned three-color Kang; it's not as valuable as using it once per round.

Returning a three-color counter to the field and then combining it with the special move effect of Thunderbird creates the famous Tormentor infinite counter combo!

Using it in this 5DS era is simply unbeatable!

Lai Gonghudou was completely disoriented. He roared and stuffed his last hand into the duel disk.

"I still have the power of the dead to rise from the dead!! I don't believe you can resist a third time!"

"The effects of the Giant Bird..."

boom!

The last card in his hand was shattered by the power of the divine bird, and Kodo Kōki collapsed to his knees, utterly dejected and dazed.

Seeing that his opponent had completely lost his fighting spirit, Guan Bai considerately helped him end the round.

"Your turn is over, now it's my turn—draw a card!"
