Chapter 1463: Crystal Wing

"Dichroic Mirror! This time destroy Junk Archer!"

Clear Wing's powerful power activated again, and crisscrossing light waves cut across Junk Archer's mechanical body. The latter collapsed along the several cracks on his body, and exploded into burning scrap metal with a boom.

Yusei lowered his head to avoid the blast wave, stabilizing the Duel Runner that was shaking. "Junk Archer was also..."

"Not bad. And of course, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon absorbs the ATK of the monster destroyed by its own effect." Yugo said. "Therefore, Junk Archer's ATK is also added to Clear Wing!"

【Clear Wing Synchro Dragon, ATK 4800 → ATK 7100】

Of course, this ATK looks bluffing, but in fact, it only lasts for this turn. Clear Wing's ATK increase effect only lasts for one turn, and it will return to its original state at the end of the turn.

"With this, your field is empty, and you'll be finished next turn."

Yugo's tone was relaxed and carried a provocative meaning.

"Although it was a very brief acquaintance, you can be considered to have done your best. As a reward for providing me with some brief pleasure, I'll give you a quick end."

Yusei didn't speak, glanced at the remaining cards in his hand, and set a card in his back row. "Set one card, turn end."

Clear Wing Synchro Dragon is indeed a quite strong opponent. Although the price paid this turn was not small, this time he should have completely figured out the abilities of that dragon.

As long as the information is mastered, it can be dealt with.

【Clear Wing Synchro Dragon, ATK 7100 → ATK 2500】

Yugo: "My turn, draw!"

After drawing, Yugo glanced at the card he drew and slapped it onto the Duel Disk.

"Normal Summon 'Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice'!"

The golden little die rolled onto the field, opening that strange single eye from the center. Red light spots also surrounded the die like floating eyes.

【Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice, ATK 100】

"Red-Eyed Dice can change the level of other Speedroids on the field when summoned, well, but I don't have other Speedroids on the field now, but now this effect doesn't matter."

Yugo raised his arm above his head and shouted loudly.

"Level 1, Tuner monster 'Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice'!"

"Level 7, 'Clear Wing Synchro Dragon'!"

"Tune!"

Yusei: "Are you going to continue tuning such a powerful monster as Clear Wing?"

"Not bad, my dragon's evolution has no limits!" Red light flashed in Yugo's eyes, just like rolling red flames. "Fly through the wind, flap your shining wings, and take victory into my palm! Synchro Summon—Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon!!!"

Starlight gathered into a vortex, a wild wind rose, and from the pillar of light, dragon wings covered with crystals stretched out, the dragon scales as transparent as diamonds, and sharper than blades. A storm surrounded the dragon's body, and countless crystal dust fell like a downpour.

【Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon, ATK 3000】

"Evolved again..." Yusei muttered.

Although he didn't know the specific ability, he could feel that this dragon had a sharper edge than before.

Definitely also a tough character.

"Battle!" Yugo said. "Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon, direct attack!"

Crystal Wing flapped its wings and soared into the sky, the dragon wings flapping in the air leaving long stardust trails, like a diving arrow bombing directly toward Yusei.

Although he didn't know what ability the opponent had this time, Yusei still proceeded according to his own plan. "Then at this moment, activate the effect of 'Swift Scarecrow' in my hand.

Discard 'Swift Scarecrow' from my hand, negate the opponent's direct attack, and then forcibly end the Battle Phase!"

The little scarecrow wearing a mask appeared on Yusei's field, looking like it was blocking in front of Yusei with its arms open. A faint transparent barrier was released like a thin film, blocking the attack in front of Yusei.

"Hahaha, already expected it!" Yugo laughed loudly.

Yusei: "What?"

"At this moment, the effect of Crystal Wing also activates!" Yugo said. "Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon, once per turn, when a monster other than this card activates an effect, I can negate that effect and destroy it! And when this effect successfully destroys a monster, this card increases its ATK by the ATK of that monster!"

He paused, and then sneered.

"Of course, the ATK of Swift Scarecrow is 0, so Crystal Wing cannot absorb additional ATK.

But just negate the effect of this trash monster!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Crystal Wing's entire body was already shining with brilliant light. Swift Scarecrow was illuminated by that light, and the barrier that had originally formed in front of Yusei instantly burst, just like glass smashed into pieces by a hammer.

Swift Scarecrow's body also thinned out until it disappeared along with the shattered barrier.

"Negate monster effect and then absorb ATK, I see, this is the ability of this dragon." Yusei understood. "Then, activate face-down card!

Trap Card 'Wavering Regeneration'!"

As his words fell, the back row face-down card activated. A transparent wave barrier appeared on his field, forming a buffer zone to block Crystal Wing's attack.

"Wavering Regeneration can be activated when the opponent's monster attacks directly, halving the battle damage caused to my side!"

Crystal Wing, which was charging, suddenly slowed down, and its impact force seemed to be visibly weakened by a large margin. After buffering, it hit Yusei's field like a silver cannonball, exploding with a boom.

【Yusei, LP 4000 → LP 2500】

Although the damage was halved after buffering, Yusei's Duel Runner still shook violently like a lonely boat in a storm, as if it were about to fall at any time.

However, of course, the skilled old driver Master Yugo still stabilized the Duel Runner, and although he was a bit dusty, he still successfully rushed out of the smoke screen.

"Hahaha, that's how it should be, that's what I want." Yugo didn't hesitate to offer praise to his opponent. "If it ended with just a random crash, it would be too boring."

Yusei took a deep breath. "Then after the battle, the subsequent effect of Wavering Regeneration. At the end of the Damage Step of this battle, I can select one Synchro monster in my Graveyard with a Level lower than the opponent's attacking monster, and Special Summon that Synchro monster from the Graveyard!"

"Oh?" Yugo said faintly. "My attacking monster is Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon, and Crystal Wing's Level is eight."

"Not bad, therefore I can Special Summon a Synchro monster with Level 8 or lower from the Graveyard!"

Yusei spread his five fingers and pointed his palm toward the front of his field.

"Therefore, I revive 'Junk Archer' with Level 7 from the Graveyard!

Become a shining path of light once again—Junk Archer!"

As if a shooting star flew out from the Graveyard, it fell onto the field, once again transforming into the one-eyed archer in mechanical armor! ===== CHAPTER 1464 =====
