Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: Duelists Beyond Light

Chapter 144 Speed 143 Extreme Ice and Red Lotus

"My turn!! Draw a card!!" Jack Atlas shouted, accompanied by the Crimson Dragon's roar. "Crimson Dragon! Attack the Ice Barrier Dragon, Sky Spear Dragon!! Absolute power and pressure!!!"

The sky was torn in two, one half was filled with blazing crimson fire, the other half was filled with icy cold air!!
"Roar----------"

With a deafening roar, blazing flames erupted from the Crimson Lotus Demon Dragon's mouth, transforming into an exploding fireball that charged directly at the Sky Spear Dragon! The Ice Barrier Dragon, Sky Spear Dragon, showed no sign of weakness. With a long roar, a streak of icy blue aurora streaked across the sky, colliding head-on with the infernal fireball! Flames and ice intertwined, erupting in a dazzling radiance that shook the entire high-speed space!

Crimson flames spread out, and the Red Lotus Demon Dragon suddenly flapped its wings, instantly closing in on the Sky Spear Dragon. Its sharp claws, wrapped in blazing flames, fiercely clawed at the Sky Spear Dragon's icy body. The Sky Spear Dragon swiftly counterattacked, also stabbing the Red Lotus Demon Dragon's heart with its dragon claws. However, the Red Lotus Demon Dragon was faster, and its flames instantly devoured the Sky Spear Dragon's attack, melting it into a pool of water vapor!

"BOOM!!!!!!!!"

The Sky Spear Dragon's body disintegrated in the red lotus fire, and the ice crystals shattered, turning into countless shining ice chips and dissipating into the air.

The Red Lotus Demon Dragon stood proudly in the sky, domineering flames surrounding it! !
“Beep beep beep——————————”

[YouQing, LP: 4000→3500]

"As expected of the King of the Satellite Zone!!" the commentator exclaimed. "Jack Atlas's counterattack is powerful! The Crimson Dragon, with 3000 attack points, has completely dominated the battlefield!"

Under the scorching cyclone, Jack Atlas sped on his D-wheel, laughing wildly:
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!"

"This is the absolute gap in power!!"

"Come on, You Qing!!"

"Tremble in the roar of the Red Lotus Demon Dragon!!!"

"roar----------------"

Another dragon roar sounded, this time it was the Red Lotus Demon Dragon declaring its dominance! !

"Tsk! You think too simply!" You Qing waved his hand and said immediately, "My turn! Draw a card!!"

"Activate High-Speed Spell Card—SP: Phantom Wind!!"

"You can only activate this effect when your SPC is greater than two. Special Summon a Level 2 or lower monster from your Graveyard. The monster Special Summoned by this effect will be destroyed at the end of the turn!!"

"Resurrection!! Preacher of the Ice Barrier!!"

"Activate its effect, Tribute this card, and Special Summon an Ice Barrier Monster from the Graveyard!!"

"Shining Heavenly Ice!!"

"Refreeze everything!!"

"Ice Barrier Dragon - Sky Spear Dragon!!!"

In the high-speed space, a phantom afterimage emerged from the raging wind. An old man holding a long staff loomed in the distance. He lowered his head and chanted an ancient and complex spell. Suddenly, a hexagonal snowflake formation on the ground shone brightly!
The sealed ice dragon once again let out a clear, high-pitched roar. The frost and snow that had just dissipated reappeared, and a brilliant ice storm reverberated. The ice barrier dragon, Sky Spear Dragon, broke free from its seal and proudly reborn!
[Ice Barrier Dragon - Sky Spear Dragon]

【Seven Stars】

[Water Attribute/Dragon]

[Attack/Defense: 2500/2000]

"What..." Jack Atlas gritted his teeth slightly. He obviously didn't expect You Qing to have such a trick.

“Swish!!!!!!!!!”

You Qing discarded the last remaining card in his hand and shouted, "Activate the effect of Ice Barrier Dragon: Sky Spear Dragon!! Discard a card in your hand!! Destroy the Crimson Lotus Dragon!!!"

"boom-------------------"

A shimmering dragon's breath of ice gushed out across the battlefield. In an instant, the Crimson Lotus Demon Dragon soaring through the sky was frozen into a gigantic, glittering ice sculpture!

The chaotic fire that filled the sky was swallowed by the ice, and the originally half-red and half-blue sky turned into a scene of ice and snow! The huge ice sculpture of the red lotus demon dragon crashed to the ground, and countless ice crystals scattered in the sound of explosions and shattering!

"Well done!! Brother You Qing!!!" Tianguang Wulan cheered excitedly.

On the other side of the audience, Hirata Shun and the others were praising him. If Yu Qing's opponent was Yusei Fudo, Lali would definitely favor Yusei, but since his opponent was Jack, no matter who won, it didn't matter to him; as long as the duel was exciting, he would be very happy.

"Enter the battle phase!!" You Qing shouted, "Ice Barrier Dragon, Sky Spear Dragon, attack directly!!!"

"Hmph!" Jack Atlas sneered, "You still have some tricks up your sleeve! But if you think you can hurt me like this, you're still dreaming!"

"Activate the effect of the War Eliminator from your hand!!"

"When your opponent's monster declares a direct attack, Special Summon this card from your hand!!"

"After that, the battle phase is forcibly ended!!!"

The echoing pendulum demon floated out, and the moment the bell rang, the Sky Spear Dragon's attack was forcibly blocked.

But You Qing was not surprised. Just as he knew that Yusei Fudo would have Scrap Scarecrow and Effect Veiler when he duelled with him, War Eliminator was also a classic good card of Jack Atlas.

"Main Phase Two!!" You Qing said, "Ban the Trap Card - Ice Barrier from the Graveyard!"

"Send a Level 5 or higher Water monster, Crystal Dragon, from your Deck to the Graveyard, then add a Water monster from the Graveyard to your Hand!!"

"I choose——the Preacher of the Ice Barrier!!"

"I haven't Normal Summoned this turn yet, so I'm going to summon in Defense Position—Preacher of the Ice Barrier!!"

"Activate the effect, release the Preacher in the Ice Barrier, and Special Summon the Transmission Unit in the Ice Barrier from the Graveyard!!"

"Activate the effect of Ice Barrier's Transport Unit, returning Ice Barrier's Monk and Ice Barrier's Shugenja from the Graveyard to the Deck, and each player draws a card!!"

"Activate SP: Whirlwind again!!"

"You can only activate this when your SPC is greater than two. Return the Royal Knight of Ice Barrier to the deck, then draw a card!!"

"Set a cover card!! End of turn!!!"

Logically speaking, You Qing didn't need to recover the preachers of the ice barrier. He could just recover the transmission troops of the ice barrier.

However, once he finishes his round, the SPC of both sides will be equal again. Now Jack Atlas is about to catch up with the acceleration thrusters installed on the D wheel, so he needs to delay time as much as possible to gain a speed advantage when his SPC is ahead!

Duels do not allow deliberate delays without any operations. In high-speed duels, the non-operation time of each duelist is limited to a very harsh level. However, the practice of Youqing is legal and reasonable.

Jack Atlas noticed You Qing's thoughts and said with a sneer:

"Are you starting to think of ways to delay now?!"

"But no matter how long you delay, you'll only delay your defeat!!"

"It's my turn!! Draw a card!!"

"At this moment, my SPC reached three points!!"

"At the same time, relying on the powerful power of the acceleration thrusters, my car speed has completely crushed the enemy!!"

"At this moment, this king will leave you behind!!!"

"boom--------------"

The roar of a powerful engine resounded as Jack Atlas, without any skill, overtook You Qing simply by relying on speed. VDC's progress reversed, and You Qing was being pulled away at a speed visible to the naked eye!
But this was just the beginning. Jack Atlas swung his card and summoned another violent dragon! !
