Chapter 1104: Learning on the Ride
Chapter 1104: Learning on the Ride
"Magic Card 'Synchro Birth'!"
An image of the Magic Card appeared beside the Skeleton Knight's galloping horse, and the magic released from the card formed a massive vortex.
The Skeleton Knight said, "I draw five cards from the top of my Deck and send all five to the Graveyard!
If any of these cards happen to be Synchro Materials that match the requirements of a Fusion Monster, I can perform a Fusion Summon!"
"Using Synchro to launch an attack, huh."
Youxuan was slightly surprised but not entirely taken aback. Although this dimension primarily focused on Synchro, it wasn't unheard of. The main characters, Yusei and Jack, had both used Fusion Monsters, and even in the high-speed Duels, there were specific Magic Cards like "Speed Fusion" dedicated to Synchro.
The Skeleton Knight drew five cards in one swift motion, and his eyes, visible through the white, skeletal mask, glinted with cold determination.
"The cards I've confirmed from the top of my Deck are these two:
'Lord of the Zombies' and 'Ravenous Ghoul'!"
Images of the two monsters were projected beside his galloping steed, drawn into the Synchro magic's vortex.
"The Synchro requirement is two Zombie-Type monsters!
With the souls of two deceased, I call upon the Lord of the Underworld! Break through the gates of the Underworld and appear—
—Underworld Dragon, Necrodragon!!!"
The two undead creatures were sucked into the vortex, transforming into a pillar of Synchro light that pierced the sky of Satellite. From the depths of the earth, the wails of countless souls seemed to echo, and a thick, grayish mist erupted onto the Duel track.
The first thing to emerge from the mist was a dragon's claw, wrapped in dark energy, with liquid shadows flowing between its silver bones. The long, skeletal tail swept across the field, striking the ground with such force that it felt as though the entire arena was sinking.
[Underworld Dragon, Necrodragon, Attack Power 3000]
Debris and rubble flew through the air, carried by the dark whirlwind, hurtling toward Youxuan's D-Wheel. However, the fragments disappeared as if they had hit an invisible barrier before reaching him.
"Can a monster's summoning impact be used to attack the opponent?" Youxuan asked, maintaining his high speed.
"Of course", the Skeleton Knight replied. "In the ritual of battle, whether you lose all your life points or your ability to speed, death is the only outcome.
This is the fate of a speed duelist!"
This dragon was clearly no ordinary monster; it must have had special abilities. The overwhelming aura of death that enveloped it made it feel as though it had crawled out of the Underworld, a composite of countless souls.
With the arrival of the Underworld Dragon, the Skeleton Knight's aura seemed to surge.
"Battle!" the Skeleton Knight commanded. "Underworld Dragon, Necrodragon, attack 'Ice Emperor Mebius'!"
As he gave the order, the Skeleton Knight pulled on the reins, and his steed's hooves pounded the ground, leaping into the air!
A transparent black vortex erupted from him and his mount, as if all the speed and kinetic energy had been channeled into the Underworld Dragon's body.
The Underworld Dragon rode the vortex forward, opening its massive mouth and clamping down on Ice Emperor Mebius. A series of crisp, ice-cracking sounds echoed from Ice Emperor's body.
[Youxuan, LP 4100 → LP 3500]
Youxuan steadied his D-Wheel against the incoming dark current, feeling the impact of the rapid dark whirlwind. He understood the mechanics.
"I see, incorporating the speed of a Speed Duel into the physical sensation, enhancing the impact of the Dark Duel."
He smiled, the corners of his mouth curling upward.
"This is quite interesting."
Skeleton Knight: "..."
What's going on? This guy is so calm.
"Hmph, you don't think the Necrodragon's attack is just this level, do you?"
As Skeleton Knight spoke, the Necrodragon had already flown back from Youxuan's field. Strangely, even though it retreated, its jaws remained tightly clamped.
The Ice Emperor Mebius, who should have been destroyed in battle, remained on Youxuan's field, staggering. However, a translucent spirit, shrouded in icy mist, was forcibly pulled from Mebius’s body and carried back to Skeleton Knight's field by the Necrodragon.
The Necrodragon then exhaled a thick, dark mist, and the transparent soul it had extracted was immediately corrupted by the dark fog, gradually taking on a form identical to the Ice Emperor Mebius, but entirely black, in stark contrast to the white and holy Ice Emperor.
"This is the power of the Necrodragon!" Skeleton Knight declared. "The Necrodragon doesn't just defeat its opponent; it can extract the opponent's soul, corrupt it, and drag it into darkness!
The remaining empty shell is not allowed to die and will become a soulless puppet, devoid of any fighting ability, a living death!"
The remaining Ice Emperor shell lingered beside Youxuan’s D-Wheel, swaying like a rag doll in the wind, as if its soul had been completely drained.
Skeleton Knight's explanation was abstract, but fortunately, Youxuan remembered the effect of this dragon.
The Necrodragon: When this card battles a monster, the monster is not destroyed by battle, but its Attack Points become 0 after the battle.
Then, the controller of the Necrodragon can summon a "Dark Soul Token" to their field with the same Level and Attack Points as the opponent's monster.
[Dark Soul Token, Attack Points 2400]
[Ice Emperor Mebius, Attack Points 0]
"Dark Soul of the fallen Ice Emperor!" Skeleton Knight shouted. "Deliver the final blow to that soulless husk!"
Skeleton Knight's steed leaped into the air, enveloped in a storm of darkness, which intensified the momentum of the Dark Soul Ice Emperor, causing it to crash into Youxuan's Ice Emperor.
The Ice Emperor's shell had no means of defense, and was helplessly shattered, its body disintegrating into fragments of ice.
[Youxuan, LP 3500 → LP 1100]
The impact was even more violent this time, and Skeleton Knight seemed to have poured all his strength into the Dark Storm, merging it with the speed of his D-Wheel. The Dark Storm, combined with the cold air, engulfed Youxuan’s D-Wheel like a tsunami, sweeping it away in an instant.
Skeleton Knight continued to ride, his gaze fixed on the swirling smoke.
With such a significant amount of damage and the full force of his Dark Storm, most duelists would be unable to escape the impact and continue their ride, leading to their defeat.
However, just moments later.
The roar of the D-Wheel pierced the sky, slicing through the thick smoke like an arrow.
Youxuan, riding his D-Wheel, immediately chased after, a look of keen interest on his face.
"Tsk, that was quite a hit. Integrating the speed of the ride into the Dark Duel to enhance the touch, is it an instantaneous burst of speed during the attack?
No, it seems more than that. It also needs to sync with your monster’s attack. This move is quite challenging."
Skeleton Knight's mouth opened, but he was speechless for a moment.
This guy took the full force of his Dark Storm and not only survived but also engaged in a discussion about riding techniques with such enthusiasm?
