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

As expected of the Blackwing deck, it's incredibly powerful in every aspect!

Guan Bai wiped the sweat from his forehead and stood up straight.

A puzzled voice came from Crow.

"Even though the base score was reduced, why wasn't the Delta destroyed in the battle?"

Guan Bai took a deep breath to calm his heart rate, and then explained.

"This is the effect of the Great Sun Tetrahedron."

"If an equipment monster is destroyed, you can destroy it in its place."

Kro followed Guan Bai's finger and looked at the base of Delta.

Sure enough, the tetrahedral structure on the red pyroxene had fallen off and turned into fragments.

"So that's how it is..."

Kro's voice trailed off with a hint of surprise.

Unexpectedly, his confident strike did not achieve the desired effect!

"It seems I can't relax for a moment while dueling with you!"

"My turn is over!"

Finally, it's time for the Kanpaku to counterattack!

"My turn, draw a card!"

"I usually summon the Great Sun Soldiers."

Kanpaku inserts the Spell Card that Delta searched in the previous turn into the Duel Disk.

"Activate the equipment magic, Great Sun Components and Great Sun Materials, and equip it!"

"Thus, the Great Sun soldiers' attack power increases by 600, and they gain the ability to pierce targets!"

A giant golden arm tore through space, bringing pure white holy light into reality and dispelling the shadow cast by the Azure Flame Asura.

The gold and white components were inserted into the white fuselage of the Japanese soldier, adding a touch of sanctity to its majesty.

【Great Japanese Soldier】

【Effect】

[Angel/Light]

[Four-star] 1700/800→2300/800

"A monster with an attack power of 1700, and an equipment card..."

Kro glanced at his cue cards and smiled confidently.

"Not bad, Regent! Charge with all your might!"

Kanpaku answered Kro's fighting spirit with his actions.

"Battle phase, Great Sun Soldiers, attack the Winged Ravens!"

"The effect of activating the Great Sun Soldiers."

"When declaring an attack, you can change your opponent's monster to Defense Position!"

"What?!"

To Kro's astonishment, the Great Sun soldier released a shimmering rainbow-frequency light wave.

The light waves struck the Soldier-Winged Raven, disrupting its sensory system.

Unable to distinguish up, down, left, or right, it had no choice but to enter a defensive posture.

In doing so, it exposed its weak defenses to the Japanese soldiers!

"Gurgle!"

The golden beam pierced through the black wings of the Soldier-Winged Raven and struck Kro's body directly.

He was struck by this force and couldn't help but take a step back.

[Crow Hogan LP: 4000→2700]

Kanpaku inserts the card into the Duel Disk.

"Cover two cards, end turn."

"At the end of the turn, activate Delta's effect again to add one equipment card from the deck to your hand."

"What I chose is the finest silk of the Great Sun."

The effect of the Great Sun Silk is a battle-level magic-sealing trap.

The addition of this card means that Kanpaku is planning to finish off the enemy in the next turn!

Although Crowe didn't know the effect, he could guess what Kanpaku was thinking.

Therefore, he must defeat Kanpaku in this round, or at least clear Kanpaku's board!

He straightened up and exhaled solemnly.

"Phew, you're really capable, Kanpaku."

"But now it's my turn!"

The field was cleared, which gave him the perfect opportunity to complete his next combo!

"I activate Blackwing Treasure! I banish one Blackwing monster from my hand and draw two cards from my Deck!"

"Draw a card!"

Crowe looked at the card he had just drawn and a smirk appeared on his face.

"If you control only one monster, this card can be summoned without Tributing."

"I usually summon Black Feather - Sirocco of Dawn".

The tall birdman warrior appeared with his arms crossed, a wicked grin on his lips beneath his giant raven-head armor!

【Black Feather - Dawn of Sirocco】

【Effect】

【Birds and Beasts/Darkness】

[Five-star] 2000/900

"If there is a Blackwing monster on the field, this card can be Special Summoned directly."

"Special Summon Blackwing - Blaster the Black Spear in Attack Position!"

"Finally, I Special Summon Blackwing Gale in Attack Position!"

In just a few moves, Kro's field was filled with three monsters!

A raven-winged warrior wielding a spiraling spear appeared, its head covered by a gaping maw, seemingly grinning as it looked at the monsters under the governor's command.

At the same time, a black whirlwind blew out from Kro's hand card.

The little blue bird flapped its wings, deflecting two wind blades. It stared intently into Guan Bai's direction with its crimson, demonic eyes.

【Black Feather - Black Gun: Brast】

【Effect】

【Birds and Beasts/Darkness】

[Four-star] 1700/800

Blackfeather - Gale the Gale

[Effects/Adjustments]

【Birds and Beasts/Darkness】

Samsung 1300/400

These are the three Blackwing monsters that Kro usually uses, the Overwork Death in the Blackwing deck!

Their appearance rate is already comparable to that of Crab Bro's Junk Synchrons.

The reason is that this combo of consecutive special summons is very useful.

The scriptwriters loved to use this when writing the final structure, and early Blackwing players also loved to use it when executing kills!

The three black-feathered monsters struck their respective poses, looking down at the monster that had been sent to kill the White Knight.

This oppressive blackness rivals that of the three pillars of men under the moon!

"Activate the effect of Blackfeather - Gale of the Gale, reducing Delta Sun's attack and defense power by half!"

Delta Great Sun

[Seven Stars] 1700/2800→850/1400

"Then, I activated the trap card I set in the previous turn, Raven Triangle - Anti-Ambush."

"These cards can be activated directly from your hand if there are three Blackwing monsters on the field!"

If this effect is successful, the back row of the Guan Bai will be completely wiped out!

That way, Kro can enter the finishing move!

Seeing the red light bombarding the back field, Kanpaku hurriedly activated his trap card!

"Follow the chain, I'll launch a world-reversal attack."

"Based on its effect, the ATK and DEF stats of all monsters on the field are swapped!"

The anti-ambush bombardment swept across the area, but it couldn't stop the card from activating!

Pure white light flashed throughout the arena, rewriting the power of every monster!

【Great Japanese Soldier】

[Four-star] 1700/1000→1000/1700

After the attack power was exchanged, Kro was no longer able to get a kill in one turn!

Immediately afterwards, Guan Bai pressed the button for the cemetery, and the Dairi component emitted a golden light.

"Activate the effects of the Great Sun Component and Great Sun Element in the graveyard."

"Add two Great Sun Equip cards from your deck to your hand."

"I chose to add the Great Sun Fragment and the second Great Sun material to my hand."

Croma immediately understood the situation.

He scratched his head helplessly, looking like he'd known all along.

"So that's the combo? I really shouldn't underestimate you!"

Crowe rubbed his nose and thought for a very brief moment.

We definitely can't finish them off this turn, so let's try to remove as many monsters as possible from the field.

He waved his right hand and shouted loudly.

"I'll use the level four Black Gun Blaster, plus the level three Gale Star Tuner!"

"Black whirlwind, transform into wings that soar through the sky!"

"Synchronization Summon, Blackwing-Knight Raven!"

The deep black armor gleamed with a cold metallic luster, and orange-red energy patterns flowed like molten iron.

Three pairs of iron wings, resembling black giant swords, appeared, their sharply defined armor outlining a highly aggressive silhouette.

The Blackwing deck's original trump card, the Argent Raven's Descent!
