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

Three days later, in the eastern part of the satellite region.

"Don't come any closer!"

"Don't come near me!!"

The young man fled in a disheveled state, his terrified cries echoing through the alley.

Two thugs, one wearing a green bandana and the other a red bandana, followed closely behind him, laughing wildly as they drove the young man into a dead end.

"Hand over the rare cards you have!"

"And your money!"

Laughing arrogantly, the two thugs, holding dueling disks, kept approaching the young man.

The young man trembled all over, collapsed to the ground, and crawled backward.

"No, I... I don't have any rare cards!"

"You're kidding me, you bastard!"

The red-haired thug roared angrily, took a big step forward, and kicked the young man in the stomach.

"ah!!"

The young man was kicked against the wall, clutching his stomach and howling in pain.

Maybe he really doesn't have any rare cards, but the thugs won't care.

It's better this way!

This way, they can vent their violence on young people more freely and relieve their anger at being bullied by gang leaders!

The young man wept in despair.

There is no way back.

He looked up at the sky in despair.

The concrete walls of the ruins, like a prison, sealed off his future, leaving only the dark, abyss-like night sky above.

Just as the thugs were about to forcibly take the card, a hoarse voice came from behind them.

"Compared to the homeless on the street, aren't the rare cards in my hand more valuable for hunting?"

When did you arrive?

The sudden sound sent chills down the spines of all three people.

The two thugs quickly turned around.

"Who goes there?!"

The thugs' shouts were still echoing when a figure came into their view.

It was a man wearing a dragon head mask.

He stood in the darkness, draped in a robe as black as the night sky.

The bone duel disk on his left arm, sharp as a blade, revealed a blood-red hue hidden beneath the cold night.

"Duel Killer!!"

"Why is the Duel Assassin here?!"

The two thugs simultaneously took a step back in shock.

The person before me looked exactly like the latest urban legend—the Duel Killer!

I've heard that this person is heartless and cruel, and his favorite thing to do is to beat people up in duels and then take away all of the duelist's deck!

Yamashiro Takemoto, a member of the gang, was killed by this man!

They were just trying to meet the gang's KPIs, how could they be so unlucky as to run into that damned dueling assassin?!

The young man who had been robbed showed a look of joy at surviving a disaster.

He's a dueling killer!

This is an idol in the hearts of homeless people who are oppressed by gangs!

A legendary figure who hunts down evil duelists at night and steals their entire decks!

Guan Bai, hidden behind the mask, took in their reactions, his eyes twitching slightly.

It seems I've gained quite a reputation in the satellite area...

He had only succeeded in hunting once; was his fame really that great?

How should he react now?

Should we go along with the atmosphere and say, "Duelists deserve to die"?

Forget it, so be it.

"Let's duel, just the two of you against me."

Guan Bai pointed at the two thugs in front of him and issued a low challenge for a duel.

The thug with the red headscarf looked around, trying to find a way out of this area surrounded by three walls.

Unfortunately not.

Traps originally used for hunting have now become hunting grounds for higher-level hunters!

They have nowhere to escape now!

"The thug with the green headscarf gritted his teeth and said."

"Bring it on! I don't believe you're really as scary as the rumors say!"

The woman in the red headscarf drew a little courage from her companion's words.

"Yes, it's two against one!!"

Yes, that's exactly the kind of fearless spirit we need!

Guan Bai's lips curled up beneath his mask.

"Duel!!"

[Green headscarf & red headscarf LP: 4000]

[Kanpaku LP: 4000]

The order of duels: Green headband → Kanpaku → Red headband → Kanpaku.

"You can have the first strike."

Guan Bai calmly shrugged, relinquishing the right to attack first.

The red-turbaned thug and the green-turbaned thug looked at each other, unable to contain their excitement.

He's the one who said we should attack first!

If we manage to hunt down the rare Duelist card this time, the boss will definitely reward us handsomely!

No, they can rise to prominence with the Duelist deck and write their own legend!

Thinking of this, the thug with the green headscarf finally burst into unrestrained laughter.

"My turn, draw a card!"

"I usually summon the Green Gear, then activate the effect of the Green Part to add a Yellow Part from my Deck to my hand!"

A green-painted circular gear popped out of the air, rolled half a circle on the ground like a tire, and came to a cheerful stop in front of the green-turbaned thug.

As soon as it stood still, it sent a reinforcement signal into the depths of the dimension, and a card with a yellow glow appeared and was added to the green-headed bandana's hand.

[Green Components]

【Effect】

[Mechanical/Ground]

[Four-star] 1400/1100

As soon as this monster appeared, Guan Bai recognized which gang these thugs belonged to.

According to the intelligence provided by Joel.

This is the most commonly used parts card set by the Gear Gang thugs.

Use the effects of lower-level components to replenish your hand, ensuring a constant stream of monsters. Then, combine this with traps and spells to defeat your opponent with a continuous supply of resources.

Of course, the lower-ranking agents in the gang usually only have two colors of parts.

Only cadres like Yamashiro Tsuyoshi could obtain complete parts shafts.

The thug with the green headscarf took a deep breath and put two cards into his duel disk.

"Set two cards face down, end turn!"

The turn of the recluse.

He calmly drew a card from his deck, glanced at it, and placed it face down in the back row.

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

The two thugs couldn't help but show their wild joy when they saw Guan Bai's territory!

Duel Killer only set one card face-down in the back row, which means—

He got stuck!

God helps me too!

Just before the end of the turn for the Kanpaku, Green Headband hurriedly opened the card that was face down in the back row.

"Activate the Continuous Trap Card, Mechanical Castle Fortress! After this card is activated, it will be Special Summoned as a Level 4 Effect Monster in Defense Position!!"

The earth trembled, and the silver-gray fortress rose with a rumble, transforming into an insurmountable steel wall that stood guard in front of the two thugs.

[Mobile City - Fortress]

【Effect】

[Mechanical/Ground]

[Four-star] 0/2000

"Hahaha, this round is your end, Duel Killer!!"

The hope of victory was undoubtedly a powerful stimulant, and Red Headscarf excitedly accepted the round.

"My turn, I activate my ally's Continuous Trap, Blood Sacrifice!"

The legendary forbidden card trap, Blood Sacrifice, has been activated!

"Based on its effects, I can pay 500 Life Points to add a Normal Summon!"

Red Headband excitedly pulled a card from his hand and slammed it onto the duel disk.

"I usually summon the Red Part, activate its effect, and add a Yellow Part from my Deck to my hand!"

"Then pay 500 Life Points to Normal Summon the Yellow Part!"

[Green headscarf & red headscarf LP: 4000 → 3500]

Blood shimmered in the perpetual trap, flowing, writhing, and finally solidifying into a hard red bridge.

The red and yellow parts rolled down the bridge one after another and came to the thugs' field!

[Red parts]

【Effect】

[Mechanical/Ground]

[Four-star] 1300/1100

[Yellow parts]

【Effect】

[Mechanical/Ground]

[Four-star] 1200/1100

The two thugs, one in green and one in red, shouted in unison.

"We have red, yellow, and green parts all gathered on the field at the same time, therefore, Mechanical City Fortress's attack power becomes 3000!!"

The three colored parts simultaneously retracted their arms and legs, transforming into three shooting stars that embedded themselves into the shell of the mobile city.

The clicking sound of gears meshing rang out, and the entire mechanical city gained powerful vitality, transforming into a towering iron giant that looked down at Guan Bai from above!

【Mechanical City - Fortress】

[Four-star] 0/2000→3000/2000

"Attack power of 3000!! That's comparable to King's ace monster, Crimson Dragon!"

The young man shouted in astonishment.

"Hahaha!!"

The red and green thugs, laughing wildly, simultaneously raised their right hands, loudly proclaiming their victory.

"6600 attack power, duel killer, you'll fall right here!!"
