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

"I'll take the first strike!"

Kanpaku seized the initiative without hesitation.

Kro is a powerful duelist, and his deck is the same Blackwing deck that was the champion back then.

Faced with such pressure, Kanpaku cannot afford to let the first strike slip away.

Blackwing deck is a deck with extremely strong OTK (One-Turn Kill) capabilities.

It has a lot of special recruitments, and it's also very easy to use high-level attacks.

If the next battle isn't strong enough, he'll be killed in one fell swoop.

This farewell duel for Crowe is both a parting and a test for the Regent!

Then Kanpaku accepts the challenge!

"My turn, draw a card!"

"I usually summon the Radiant Angel."

【Radiant Angel】

【Effect】

[Angel/Light]

[Four-star] 1400/800

The Radiant Angel was part of the Light Attribute Last Will Chain from back then.

Adding it to a deck can prevent monsters from running out and replenish Synchro materials.

And now, this is also one of the methods that Kanpaku uses to deal with Kuroba's fast attacks.

"Set one card face down, end turn."

After a simple handover, it was Kro's turn to make his move.

He placed his right hand on the deck.

He was already thinking about what tricks Guan Bai would use this time.

During this period, he sparred with Guan Bai many times.

I also have some understanding of the playing style of Guan Bai.

Kanpaku is a versatile duelist with multiple decks.

Furthermore, they excel at maximizing the potential of their decks.

Therefore, he was guessing what deck Kanpaku would use in this match, as well as his dueling style.

This is different from the Valley of Dawn, which was dominated by birds and beastmen, and the next generation, which was dominated by machines...

Is it a light-attribute, angel-type monster?

Is this a new deck?

Crowe decided to test the waters, and he swiftly drew his card.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Kro looked at Guan Bai's card.

"Normal Summon: Black Feather - Azure Flame Asura!"

Black raven feathers drifted down from the sky, transforming into swirling black winds.

The giant, humanoid bird spread its enormous wings, blocking the rising sun from the west and casting its shadow onto the Regent!

Black Feather - Azure Flame Asura

【Effect】

【Birds and Beasts/Darkness】

[Four-star] 1800/1200

Crowe clenched his right fist and shouted.

"Battle phase, Azure Flame Asura, attack Radiant Angel!"

The Azure Flame Asura fanned its black feathers, creating a black wind that slammed into the Radiant Angel, shattering it instantly!

[Kanpaku LP: 4000 → 3600]

Guan Bai lowered his head and closed his eyes, enduring the electric current stimulating his muscles.

At the same time, Crowe's decisive voice came from ahead.

"The effect of Azure Flame Asura is activated when an opponent's monster is destroyed in battle and sent to the Graveyard."

Special Summon one Blackwing monster with 1500 or less ATK from your Deck!

"I hereby Special Summon Blackwing - Secret of the Silver Shield!"

He pulled out his deck and shouted at Kanpaku.

"Go all out! Let me see how much stronger you've become!"

Guan Bai responded without backing down.

"Then watch closely!"

"Chain effects with your monsters!"

"Activate the effect of Radiant Angel, Special Summon 1 monster with 1500 or less ATK from your Deck in Attack Position!"

"I hereby Special Summon the Great Sun Tetrahedron!"

Chain processing leads to the latecomer's arrival and the early arrival of the first.

Mechanical angels glowing with heavenly fire descended from the sky, while ravens swirling with black winds rose from beneath the Daedalus Bridge.

Light against darkness, white feathers against black wings!

Black Feather - Silver Shield's Secret Stella

[Effects/Adjustments]

【Birds and Beasts/Darkness】

[Two-star] 100/1800

The Great Sun Tetrahedron

[Effects/Adjustments]

[Angel/Light]

[Two-star] 900/900

"Main Phase Two"

Kro moves two monsters from his Duel Disk to the Graveyard and draws an Extra monster!

"I'll use the fourth-level Azure Flame Asura, combined with the second-level Silver Shield Secret Star!"

"O dark power residing within your wings, unleash a raging storm!"

"Synchronization Summon, Blackwing-Winged Raven!"

Two black-feathered birds glided at high speed, flying towards the colorful clouds in the west, turning into streaks of light in the air!

A dark gray whirlwind blew in from the direction of the setting sun, and a high-speed flying Soldier-Winged Raven cut through the gale and landed to the left of Crowe!

Blackwing - Soldier-Winged Raven

【Effect/Synchronization】

【Birds and Beasts/Darkness】

[Six-star] 2300/1000

"My turn is over!"

It's time for Kanpaku's turn again.

He pulled out the cards and glanced at them in his hand.

My current hand isn't very good; I haven't gotten any of the key cards yet...

In that case, we should adopt a defensive stance here!

"Activate the face-down card to enhance revival."

"Resurrect the Radiant Angel in the graveyard, raising its star level by one!"

【Radiant Angel】

[Four-star → Five-star] 1400/800 → 1500/900

"I, with the power of a fifth-rank Radiant Angel and a second-rank Sun Tetrahedron, will adjust the stars!"

"O golden flame of heaven, burning with blazing fire, descend and become my divine shield!"

"Synchronous Summon, Delta Sun!"

A blazing pillar of fire crashed down, piercing through the sky and the ground, and a colossal, obelisk-like machine appeared behind Kanpaku.

Delta Great Sun

【Effect/Synchronization】

[Angel/Light]

[Six-star] 1700/2800

The Delta, in a defensive posture, closes its wings to protect the regent.

The mechanically forged white wings transformed into a massive, impenetrable shield!

"Activate the effect of the Great Sun Tetrahedron."

"Pay 500 base points to equip it to Delta as an equipment card."

[Kanpaku LP: 3600 → 3100]

The large sun tetrahedron in the cemetery rises and deforms.

It is assembled on the red pyroxene of the Delta base, radiating a reddish-brown light along with the Delta.

The round ended just like that.

"At the end of the turn, activate Delta's effect."

"With it in Defense Position, I can add an Equip Spell to my hand during the End Phase of my turn."

"Add one Daishin Component from your deck to your hand."

"What a cool monster!"

Kro looked at the monster that Kanpaku had captured with surprise, his voice filled with admiration.

The monsters in the Daiichi series are all mechanical angels that combine physical beauty with divine majesty.

No man could resist such a monster!

"Unfortunately, this kind of monster is currently dueling with me..."

After making a comment, Crowe continued to observe Kanpaku's place.

A monster with a defense of 2800...

It's not going to be easy to get through this.

While calculating how to deal with the shield, Kro began his turn.

"Draw a card!"

A flash of golden light.

Kro looked at the card he had drawn and a smile appeared on his lips.

From this perspective, a breakthrough is now possible.

Without saying a word, he went straight into battle!

"Battle Phase"

"Blackwing-Winged Raven, attack Delta Sun!"

"This card gains 500 ATK when attacking a defense monster!"

Blackwing - Soldier-Winged Raven

[Six-Star] 2300/1000 → 2800/1000

Guan Bai's eyes narrowed as he watched the winged crow's blade approach.

Should we proceed directly to the combat phase?

Did Kro draw that card?!

"Before the damage step, I discard Blackwing - Carthus of the Moon from my hand!"

As expected, Kro quickly sent a card from his hand to the graveyard!

"This card's effect increases the attack power of the Soldier Winged Raven by 1400."

"Furthermore, the Soldier-Winged Raven's effect is that its attacks have a piercing effect!"

Blackwing - Soldier-Winged Raven

[Six-Star] 2800/1000 → 4200/1000

With an attack power of up to 4200, it slashed directly at Delta's wings!

A powerful gale raged across the bridge, and even after being weakened by the Delta Aegis, it still lashed violently against Kanpaku's duel disk!

"Ah...uh..."

Guan Bai was knocked back several steps and almost lost his footing.

[Kanpaku LP: 3100 → 1700]
