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

Chapter 24 Speed ​​24 Alliance Combo! Striker and Destroyer!

The underground duelists gathered in front of an open space automatically made way for two lanes. As the two duelists appeared, various voices came from the crowd, many of which were encouragements and cheers for the deep-sea duelist, Dankel King.

In the corner of the underground dueling arena, a gambling table piled with money was surrounded by people. Seeing that the second duel was about to begin, many people holding banknotes flocked in. To them, this was a duel without any suspense!

On one side, there are duel masters who have been here for many years, with an overall winning rate of over 70%, but on the other side, there are new faces whose names have never been heard of.

No need to think, everyone just knows who to bet on.

"I didn't expect it would be Danker's turn so soon. I'm already getting my bag ready to fill with money~"

"Haha, Danker's odds are incredibly low. Even if I win, how much can I win?"

"Speaking of such bullshit! Then you're going to bet on that brat? Are you going to bet on him?"

"I won't. Why would I give money away when I have nothing better to do?"

"I'm betting on You Qing!!" Suddenly, a completely different voice was heard. It was Dickade, who had rushed over with a satchel. He pressed several rolls of banknotes on the table and said firmly, "All of this! Betting on You Qing!!"

The fat man sitting on the old-fashioned sofa put down the toothpick in his hand in surprise, then laughed and made a note.

After paying the money, Dickade quickly left amidst everyone's astonished gazes, and a few disdainful words were heard behind him.

"Heh, interesting, another one hoping for an upset~"

"How can there be such a big bargain? Even after fifty games, there's still no chance of an upset!"

"Okay, if they're willing to give it to us, then let them give it to us. Otherwise, how can we win?"

"Hahahahahahaha, that's right, just wait and see that silly boy cry~"

As soon as Dickard returned to the scene, the duel began.

“Duel!!!!”

Two loud shouts rang out, and You Qing's opponent, Dankel King, took the initiative to attack at a lightning speed!

The method of determining the first attack here is very traditional. After both sides have called a duel, they start drawing their starting cards. Whoever draws five cards first will attack first. If the number of cards drawn is incorrect or a card falls, the opponent will be judged to have the first attack.

You Qing had never practiced this way of making decisions, and he would not have used this method to make judgments in his previous life.

Therefore, the right to attack first was naturally taken away by the seemingly shrewd foreigner on the opposite side.

This white man known as the Deep Sea Duelist had a beard and a very strong physique. He smiled smugly and said jokingly in a deep and somewhat hoarse voice:

"Judging from your appearance, you should be in your twenties~"

"You're still too young to make a living by dueling!"

"Don't cry when I knock you down, little brat!!"

Huh~
You Qing sneered in his heart.

This level of trash talk really has no offensive power.

When he worked in the auto repair shop a few years ago, he had seen real swear words, but later he was controlled too strictly by the team for too long, so he stopped learning those dirty words.

Hearing the foreigner's sarcasm at this time, he felt just like a college student watching a kindergarten class showing off that one plus one equals two. He felt nothing but ridiculous.

"It's coming! I take the initiative! Draw a card!" Dankel King swung his hairy arm and a Field Card was snapped down. "Field Magic Card - Legendary City of Atlantis!!"

"As long as this card is on the field, increase the ATK and DEF of all Water monsters on the field by 200!!"

"At the same time, the level of both players' hand cards and water attribute monsters on the field decreases by one star!!"

As the cards fell, the roar of waves echoed around the venue. An ancient underwater city slowly emerged, and the entire duel battlefield was filled with seawater generated by three-dimensional projections.

You Qing's eyes fixed.

It's this card? It seems this guy might not be a high-speed duelist, but more of a traditionalist.

Because no Field Magic Cards can be activated in High-Speed ​​Duels, and even in traditional Standing Duels, since this Field Card will lower the monster level, it is not suitable for decks centered around Synchro Summoning.

Everything went just as You Qing had expected. After taking down the field, the opponent used the level reduction effect to summon a monster that was originally level 5.

"Haha, relying on the Field Card's Star Drop ability, I Normal Summon this monster from my hand in Attack Position—Abyssal Warrior!"

"Put one more card on the ground, and the turn ends!!"

【Deep Sea Warrior】

【Five stars】

[Water Attribute/Warrior]

[Attack/Defense: 1600/1800]

The audience around them commented complacently:
"What good luck! I got the venue card right at the start~"

"Yeah, from my impression, as long as Dankel King has a field card, his winning rate will not be less than 90%!!"

"That guy on the other side is in trouble!"

"Haha, what's so miserable about him? I heard that a fool just bet a huge sum of money on him. That guy is miserable!!"

Dickade, who was standing in the crowd, naturally heard these words. He probably knew Dankel King's strength. This man was indeed not weak, but he trusted You Qing more!
“Swish————————————————”

You Qing drew out a card and said loudly:

"Then it's my turn! Draw a card!"

"Activate Magic Card - Earth Cut!"

"This card can destroy the monster with the lowest ATK on your opponent's field!!"

“Kaalaala——————————”

The ground cracked, and a gully rapidly spread towards the enemy monster, but the crack stopped abruptly just before reaching the monster's feet?!

Immediately afterwards, the magic card on You Qing's duel disk dimmed and failed to produce any effect!
"It's useless," Dankel King sneered smugly. "The legendary city of Atlantis is considered the sea, and the effect of the Deep Sea Warrior is that as long as there is a sea on the field, it will not be affected by any magic cards!!"

But You Qing's expression was very calm: "I knew it a long time ago."

"What?" Dankel King was stunned.

You Qing said, "Although I can't check the effects of your cards, your tactics have already revealed the monster's abilities to me."

"The legendary city of Atlantis can increase the attack and defense of water-attribute monsters on the field, but after your monster entered the field, the stats only jumped for a moment before returning to normal."

"This means it must have resistance to magic cards!"

Dankel King finally realized that the young opponent before him wasn't that simple. "So... activating that card wasn't a mistake?"

"That's right!" You Qing nodded and continued to play cards. "Activate the effect of Magic Striker from your hand, banish a Magic Card from your Graveyard, and Special Summon this card from your hand!"

"Then, using the opportunity of a Normal Summon, I'll summon in Attack Position—Armor Destroyer!!"

"Armor Breaker's effect: Once per turn, you can equip this card to a Warrior-Type monster on your field. When the equipped monster inflicts Battle Points Damage to your opponent, you can destroy a card on the field!!"

"Next, use the Magic Strikers' special ability during the battle phase!!"

"Direct attack!!!"
