Want to play cards? I'll use my King's Deck!

Beside "Simon of the Poisonous Wind," a birdman warrior holding two silver pistols flew out of the car and fired a shot, using the bullet to transform his comrades into something else entirely.

"The second effect of 'Suddenly the Phantom' activates. Once per turn, I can Tribute 'Simon the Poisonous Wind' to Special Summon 1 Level 2 Tuner 'Suddenly the Phantom Token' to my field. After that, I take 700 damage. During the turn this effect is activated, I cannot Special Summon monsters from my Extra Deck except Synchro Monsters."

First, there's the self-restriction of DARK attribute monsters, then the self-restriction of Synchro Monsters. This would be a headache for most decks, but it's not a problem at all for the "Blackwing" deck.

Now that the adjustments and non-adjustments have been made, it's clear what he'll do next.

"A 2-star 'Radiant Token' is used to Synchro Summon a 4-star 'Radiant Sudri', level 6, 'Blackfeather - Starshadow Bittersword Bird'."

"Blackwing - Star Shadow Bittersword Bird, Level 6/Dark/Bird/Synchro" "ATK: 2400/DEF: 1600"

A flash of synchronized light appeared, a greatsword cleaved through the light, and a black-feathered warrior with an eagle-shaped head floated quietly in mid-air, giving Logan the possibility of further development.

"As long as 'Starry Night Bitterbird' is on the field, I can summon one more 'Blackwing' monster during the Main Phase, except for one Normal Summon. Summon 'Blackwing - Oster of the South Wind' in Attack Position."

"Blackfeather - Auster of the South Wind, Level 4/Dark/Bird/Adjustment" "ATK: 1300/DEF: 0"

"Chirp!"

Embodying a beautiful song, a bird named Black Feather, whose actual appearance is incredibly beautiful and colorful, flies into the battlefield and brings back comrades from another dimension to fight alongside her.

"The effect of 'Oster of the South Wind' allows you to Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower 'Blackwing' monster that has been banished, pull back 'Blackwing - Vatta the Scoundrel,' and add 'Blackwing - Lower Moon Archer Bird' with 500 ATK to your hand using the effect of 'Black Whirlwind.'"

Logan retrieved a new "Blackwing" lower-level card from his deck, but instead of playing it immediately, he first placed a few other cards on his Duel Disk.

"Discard 'Shāma of the Storm', activate its effect, place the Continuous Spell 'Blackwing Whirlwind' from your Deck face-up to the back row, then use the Normal Spell 'Ten Mirror Arrays'."

【Ten Divine Mirror Array (Normal Spell): You can send any number of monsters with a combined Level of 10 from your hand or field (face-up) to the Graveyard to activate this effect. Draw 2 cards.】

"Based on this card's effect, send the Level 10 'Earthbound God Veracocha Rasca' from your hand to the Graveyard, and draw 2 cards. Then activate the Field Spell: 'Earthbound Ground Painting'!"

After casting a 10-star exclusive extraction card, the dark blue flame barrier surrounding Yuki and the other person suddenly began to boil.

The flames spread across the high ceiling, etching an incredibly magnificent vulture totem.

As the totem painting unfolded, the powerful feeling that Youxi had sensed from Logan surged instantly, bringing him even greater pressure.

At the same time, I also had some bad premonitions.

"Activating a field spell so early, could it be..."

"When there is a monster with 2000 or more ATK on the field, you can Special Summon 'Blackwing - Lower Moon Light Bowbird' from your hand. Use this Level 2 Tuner to adjust the Level 6 'Star Shadow Bitterbird'."

Logan snapped up the monster retrieved by "Black Whirlwind," unleashing a new Synchro Storm with a wave of his hand.

This time, however, the only feeling Yu Xi got from the synchronized storm was a chill.

"Born from the earth's resentment, punish the sinners! Synchro Summon, 'Earthbound Griffin'!"

"Earthbound Ring: Ground-Painted Griffin, Level 8/Dark/Demon" "ATK: 2500/DEF: 1500"

"One or more DARK Attribute Tuners + one or more non-Tuner monsters"

"It's actually a 'Bound Subordinate'!?"

The ghostly blue flames turned golden, etching new patterns on the ground.

What appeared before Yuki was an unfamiliar Iron Demon. It bore many similarities to the "Earthbound God," but Yuki was certain that this was not one of Logan's original cards.

Besides "Blackwing," does Uncle Logan's current deck also include "Earthbound" cards?

"The effect of 'Earthbound Griffin' is activated."

Logan, oblivious to Yuki's shock, continued his operation, declaring: "Once per turn, during your or your opponent's turn, Special Summon 1 'Earthbound' monster from your Graveyard except for the one with the same name. This turn, I cannot Special Summon non-Fusion/Synchro Monsters from the Extra Deck—Resurrect, 'Earthbound God Veracocha Raska'!!"

"Earthbound God Veracocha Raska, Level 10/Dark/Bird/Beast" "ATK: 1/DEF: 1"

Presumably with the current situation in mind from the very beginning of its construction, the room where Yuki and Logan are located is very large in both area and depth, enough to accommodate the activities and battles of several tokusatsu-level monsters.

As Logan shouted, a stone heart, which had been intangible, solidified high in the air and began to beat rhythmically.

The surrounding flames were absorbed into it, providing it with ample nourishment for growth.

Soon, with that heart as the center, the skeleton and flesh were fully constructed, and the huge vulture landbound god spread its wings, the swirling winds and turbulent currents making it impossible for Yu Xi to open his eyes.

Its attack and defense are both only a strange 1 point, but its aura is much more terrifying than the three Earthbound Gods that Yuki has faced.

In the first round, Logan didn't give Youxi any time to prepare at all, and immediately played his trump card.

"The effect of 'Earthbound God Veracocha Raska' has activated!"

[Once per turn, your opponent's Life Points become 1. This effect cannot be activated during the Battle Phase.]

At the cost of sacrificing battle rank, you can instantly reduce the opponent's health to rock bottom. This effect is undeniably powerful, and as for the cost... since you can't attack in the first round anyway, it's practically negligible.

"【Polar Star's Obedience】!!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

[Yu Xi's LP: 8000 → 1]

There was no way to stop it; if there were, it would have been used on "Earthbound Priest" in the first place. The attack from the Vulture Earthbound God struck Zhongyouxi without reservation, sending him flying straight away.

"Owner!"

"Master!"

The black magician girl and the silent magician's spirit appeared just in time and caught Yuki safely, thus preventing secondary injury.

However, the damage to one's health is far greater than the physical injury. And the current situation is extremely dangerous.

"Continue, the effect of 'Black Feather - Rogue's Punishment' activates."

Logan coldly pressed on, "Send the Level 6 monster 'Blackwing - Zoda of the Night' from your deck to the Graveyard, then use it to Special Summon 'Blackwing Dragon' by trading with the Level 2 monster 'Vata the Rogue'."

"Blackwing Dragon, Level 8/Dark/Dragon/Synchron" "ATK: 2800/DEF: 1600"

Once again, the Synchro Summoning flashed with light, and from it emerged Logan's proud ace.

However, the "Black Winged Dragon" did not look as majestic and imposing as it used to, but rather exuded a sense of death.

For Logan now, the "Black Wyvern" is no longer important.

The important thing is the fact that it was successfully summoned.

"Once per turn, when a DARK Synchro Monster is Special Summoned from my Extra Deck, the effect of 'Blackwing Whirlwind' activates. I can Special Summon 1 'Blackwing' monster from my Graveyard with less ATK than that monster. The monster to be resurrected is 'Blackwing - Starshadow Bitterbird'."

Not long ago, the "Star Shadow Bitter Sword Bird," which had just become a Synchro Material for "Earthbound Priestess," returned for the second time, slashing out with a cold, gleaming sword light towards Yuki's front.

"If the effect of 'Starry Night Bitterbird' is activated and it is successfully Special Summoned, inflict 800 damage to the opponent. That concludes the summoning."

The murderous intent hidden from the very beginning has finally revealed its fangs to Yu Xi!

Chapter 225: Thank you for the real gift (Bonus chapter for 3k words!)

Use the power of "Earthbound God" to reduce the enemy's health to rock bottom, and then just use any "Fireball" to finish them off.

This was Logan's killer move at the start of the game.

Deadly and vicious, frankly, it's quite difficult to defend against, and the success rate is not low.

As a Dark Signer controlled by the Earthbound God, getting hands on "Earthbound God" cards is not difficult. As for "Fireball", there is also "Star Shadow Bittersword Bird" which is available in the Extra Deck at any time as a substitute - the ① effect of "Star Shadow Bittersword Bird" in this world is not mandatory, but optional, which allows for more flexible tactical adjustments.

Once successfully used, the opponent is almost certain to die.

...Well, almost.

"This will trigger the 'Winged Cotton' effect!"

As the black blade of "Star Shadow Bitter Sword Bird" slashed towards them, Yuki had already caught a card between her fingers.

With his movement, the cotton ball that popped out of the car transformed into a fluffy and soft protective shield, protecting Yu Xi inside and completely deflecting the sharp blade.

"Discard 'Winged Cotton,' and this turn I will take 0 effect damage."

Yu Xi said to Logan, "I'm sorry, Uncle Logan. When you synchronized with 'Star Shadow's Bitter Sword Bird' but didn't activate Blood Burn, I knew it would probably turn out like this. I won't lose to you like this!"

If he were to be defeated so easily, he wouldn't be able to explain himself to Wu and the others.

"That's all for this round. The predicament you're facing hasn't changed."

Seeing that his ultimate tactic had failed, Logan spoke for the first time about anything other than dueling, but that was all he said before he began a new operation.

"Activate the effect of 'Blackwing - Zoda of the Night' in the graveyard."

[You can activate this effect by banishing this card from your Graveyard. Special Summon 1 Level 5 or higher "Blackwing" monster from your hand or Deck. Then, you take damage equal to the ATK of the monster Special Summoned by this effect.]

"By banishing 'Zoda of the Night,' Special Summon 'Assault Blackwing - Kunai of the Mist' from your deck in Defense Position."

"Strike Blackwing - Kunai Bird of the Mist, Level 5/Dark/Bird Beast" "ATK: 2100/DEF: 1600"

"Zoda of the Night," which was buried in the graveyard by "Black Feather - Rogue Vatar," now serves as a signal to guide the arrival of new companions.

The Flying Bird Warrior, equipped with mechanical claws on its arms, landed on the ground in the form of a ninja.

"The Kunai Bird of Mist has an attack power of 2100, and I would have taken 2100 damage. However, because of the presence of the Blackwing Dragon, placing a Black Feather Counter on the Blackwing Dragon will make me immune to this damage."

"The effect of 'Kunai Bird of Mist' activates once per turn. Change 1 Synchro Monster you control to any Level from 1 to 8. Transform 'Kunai Bird of Starlight' to Level 2. Use the Level 4 'Oster of the South Wind' to level up the Level 2 'Kunai Bird of Starlight'. Synchro Summon: Level 6, Synchro Tuner: 'Boreas the Blackwing!'"

"Blackwing - Boreas of the Demonic Wind, Level 6/Dark/Bird/Synchro/Tuner" "ATK: 2400/DEF: 1200"

Once again, the Synchro Tuner shines, and the only proper Synchro Tuner in the "Blackwing" series descends upon the battlefield.

"C1, 'Boreas the Wind', C2, 'Shama the Sandstorm', the effects of 2 cards are activated."

Logan said, "First is 'Shama of the Storm Sands.' When a 'Blackwing' monster is Synchro Summoned, this card is banished from the Graveyard. 'Blackwing - Auster of the South Wind' in the Graveyard returns to my hand, and I take 700 damage. Of course, this damage is also taken by 'Blackwing Dragon.' Then there's 'Boreas of the Demonic Wind,' which sends 'Blackwing - Fayu the Great Banner' from the Deck to the Graveyard. This card's Level becomes the same as 'Fayu the Great Banner' at Level 1."

"Summoned via Synchro Summoning using the 1-star 'Boreas the Wind' and the 5-star 'Kunai Bird the Mist', resulting in a Level 6 'Earthbound Servant - Earth-Painting Spirit'!"

"Earthbound Servant - Earth-Painting Spirit, Level 6/Dark/Demonic/Synchronization" "ATK: 2000/DEF: 1000"

Perhaps because the spells and traps in the "Earthbound God" field are too weak, Logan did not activate the search effect of "Earthbound Earth Painting". What appeared in front of Yuki in Synchro Light was a small giant with wooden shackles around its waist.

Well, although it's called small, it's at least two or three stories tall.
