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

Kanbai parked the Planet in a secluded corner and planned to sneak inside.

The third cutting-edge technology introduced by the startup system: when the Planet and the white-clad humanoid aircraft are more than 30 meters apart, it will enter a hidden mode.

This way, the discovery of the D-wheel will not alert the enemy.

Looking towards the Gear Gang's stronghold, Guan Bai took a distant photo and sent it to Joel.

Within three minutes, she relayed the information to Guan Bai: this stronghold used to be a bustling residential area, but after the midnight reversal, it was abandoned and turned into ruins.

However, due to the complex layout of the buildings here, it has been regarded as a prime location by multiple gangs.

They plundered, eliminated, and absorbed each other, eventually forming this gear-like gang.

The intelligence even included a defense map of this outpost!

Kanpaku tiptoed through a gap recorded in the intelligence and quickly entered the interior of the stronghold.

He hadn't expected the infiltration to be so easy.

It's not just because of intelligence.

Recently, the Gear Clan and even the Gear Gang's leaders have been sent out hunting, leaving only a small number of thugs to guard the headquarters.

The elites all went out to collect cards, so it's quite obvious what level the remaining scoundrels are at.

The two thugs guarding the gate could fall asleep standing up.

According to normal logic, Kanpaku would say that this leader has lost his mind.

Sending out all the elite troops, leaving headquarters so empty, aren't you afraid of a surprise attack by the enemy?

But this is the Yu-Gi-Oh! world.

You have to think about it the other way around.

Most things can be resolved by playing cards; even gang conflicts are resolved through duels instead of physical fights.

So in a sense, this place is a place where the strong are respected.

If the leader has excellent card skills, he can completely control the headquarters by himself, and the other henchmen used to protect him are just icing on the cake.

Of course, we still need to be careful.

After passing through another layer of barbed wire, we were very close to the six-story building in the center.

At the crossroads ahead, two alert cogs were guarding the entrance.

It seems we need to find a solution.

Before Guan Bai could think for more than three seconds, three thorns appeared from the other side of the road and instantly wrapped around the necks of the two guards.

With a little more force applied to the thorny vines, the two thugs quickly suffocated and lost consciousness.

This power... it's Izayoi Aki again?!

Guan Bai looked towards where the vines were extending, and sure enough, a robed man wearing a pure white mask slowly walked out.

The thorny shadows slowly disappeared around her, leaving only faint, mottled marks on the ground, resembling the shape of a rose.

Last time, I only saw the damage she caused, but this time Kanpaku almost faced Izayoi head-on.

Guan Bai could even sense a mountain of knives emanating from her body, as if thousands of invisible and sharp thorns were baring their claws, ready to devour their prey at any moment.

Such a dangerous power...

As expected of a powerful duelist who is both a Dragon Seal user and a Mind Fighter!

What a coincidence! She's infiltrated the Gear Gang too?

What exactly did this Gear Gang do to Dewayne that they sent Izayoi Aki to relentlessly pursue them?

"Come out."

The cold female voice reached Guan Bai's ears, making him shudder.

Discovered?

Did you discover me through the power of the cards?

I need to get out first, otherwise it will be dangerous if Izayoi Aki forces me out with her mental power.

However, before Kanpaku could take a step, Izayoi Aki suddenly attacked.

A huge thorn swept across and tore a wall apart!

Broken bricks flew everywhere, and dust filled the air, obscuring half of the intersection!

Several members of the Gear Clan, wearing two-tone headscarves, tumbled out from among them, falling to the ground in a disheveled state. They looked at Izayoi Aki with trembling eyes, begging for mercy with tears streaming down their faces.

"Witch, please spare us! We...ah!!!"

Before the thugs could finish speaking, thorns wrapped around their bodies, strangling them unconscious!

After dealing with these minions, Izayoi Akiho put away the Duel Disk and turned to continue "infiltrating".

Guan Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems they didn't notice me.

Damn it, who would have thought?

You just decided to raid the Gear Gang headquarters on a whim, and you still managed to run into Izayoi Aki going berserk?

Judging from her appearance, she must have been instructed by Dewayne to come and wipe out the Gear Gang, right?

Although Dewayne's goal was definitely to obtain the mysterious deck from the Gear Gang.

But Dewayne's words to Aki Izayoi will probably be something like, "The Gear Gang are scum who abuse power, so they should be eliminated."

All I can say is that that scumbag actually did something good this time.

It is a case of having bad intentions but doing good deeds.

After thinking it over, Kanpaku decided to follow Izayoi.

Why not take advantage of the protagonist group's powerful combat strength?

This could significantly increase the success rate of this trip. Kanpaku said that being a passive winner is not bad either.

Izayoi Aki walked toward the building where Yamada Gorin was.

Guan Bai kept a distance behind him, keeping watch for any appearance of the Gearmen.

There's not much to say about the rest of the journey.

The two disappeared into the night unnoticed. Like performing surgery, Izayoi Aki precisely eliminated the thugs stationed there one by one.

Every time she taps a card onto the Duel Disk, she can create an attack with immense power.

When dealing with thugs, the sound can even be heard throughout the entire neighborhood.

Such reckless behavior is typical of a fraternity member!

There's absolutely no need to worry about alerting them.

Go in head-on without using any special tactics; that's the best way to assassinate someone!

The power of a mind-based duelist is really convenient...

However, at the last intersection near the building, an unexpected event occurred.

A bright white light suddenly shone from the building's main entrance and both sides, turning the dark environment into daylight.

Four figures appeared from these three directions, like puppets controlled by invisible threads.

Their movements were mechanical and stiff, each step as rigid as a robot's, as if rusty gears were stuck in their joints.

Izayoi Aki reflexively unleashed her power, and countless crimson rose petals transformed into a tornado, attacking the four people!

For an ordinary person, such an attack would be enough to leave him covered in wounds!

However, a blinding golden light burst forth from the four duel disks, instantly colliding with the Rose Storm.

A whirlwind of light and roses shot into the sky, triggering a terrifying sonic boom!

With a deafening roar, a terrifying shockwave erupted, shattering the windows of several surrounding residential buildings!

Glass shards scattered in the wind, appearing like a sky full of ice crystals under the white light.

Aki Izayoi looked at the person opposite her in surprise.

As a mind duelist, she could sense that the source of this power was not the bodies of these four people, but the cards in their duel disk!

There's no way to resolve this directly through a mental duel...

Let's duel then!

Aki Izayoi raised the rose-colored Duel Disk and activated Duel Mode.

The four people opposite seemed to sense Izayoi Aki's battle suit, and they uniformly unfolded their duel disks and spoke in unison.

"Duel!"
