“Boom—”
Ice crystals formed into spears of light exploded on Akagi Ryoji’s body.
The bursting ice shards caused his D-Wheel to rapidly lose control.
The high amount of damage not only created an extremely high impact force on him but also deducted his only remaining Speed Counter!
As this attack ended, Yusei swept past him like a storm from the Arctic lands.
The biting cold current made Akagi Ryoji’s entire body tremble.
In this instant, the Speed Counter values of the two reversed, and the person who was constantly being left behind became Akagi Ryoji himself!
“Whirring whirring whirring—”
[Akagi Ryoji]
[LP: 3400 → 1100]
[Speed Counter: 1 → 0]
Yusei Set his last card in the back row.
“I Set one card.
Turn end!”
Looking at the Ice Dragon that freely unleashed cold currents ahead and his opponent who was continuously pulling away from him, Akagi Ryoji clenched his teeth, his veins bulging:
“What a joke!
This great me is going to New Domino City to become a professional Duelist!”
“How can I lose in this wretched Satellite!!”
“It’s not over yet!
My monster only returned to my hand!
This Turn, I still have cards I can use!!”
“My Turn!
Draw!”
“Whoosh—”
Akagi Ryoji roared and swiftly activated a card:
“Speed Spell – SP: Boost!!”
“Increase your own Speed Counters by four!
At the end of the Turn, reduce Speed Counters to 1!!”
“You think you can shake me off here?!
No way!!”
“Whirring whirring whirring—”
[Akagi Ryoji, Speed Counter: 1 → 5]
The D-Wheel’s dashboard counter kept ringing, and beams of light flashed.
This crimson D-Wheel’s speed surged at an astonishing rate!
Like a streaking fire meteor, in the blink of an eye, Akagi Ryoji, now with five Speed Counters, overtook Yusei!
The surging airflow caused Yusei’s D-Wheel to tremble.
He immediately exerted both arms to stabilize his D-Wheel.
“It’s not over yet!” Akagi Ryoji shouted.
“I activate Speed Spell – SP: Summon Acceleration!”
The monster Special Summoned by this effect cannot attack this Turn!!”
“Burn!!
Jurrac Protops!!!”
[Jurrac Protops]
[Level 4]
[FIRE Attribute / Dinosaur Type]
[ATK/DEF: 1700/1200]
“Then, Normal Summon in Attack Position – Jurrac Monoloph!!” Akagi Ryoji revealed a smug and savage smile.
“This monster is a Level 3 Tuner monster.
If I can Synchro Summon again, I can re-Summon Jurrac Giganotosaurus!!”
“Jurrac Giganotosaurus’s ATK will increase based on the number of Jurrac monsters in the Graveyard.
Ultimately, it will easily crush your ace monster!!”
“Come on!!
Synchro Summon!!”
But the moment Jurrac Monoloph appeared, the familiar sound of gears turning rang out, and two pitch-black gun barrels actually aimed at it from the shadows!
Due to a chain being activated, Akagi Ryoji was temporarily unable to perform a Synchro Summon and could only wait for all effects to resolve.
“At the same time as your Normal Summon, I activate the Continuous Trap Card – Call of the Haunted!” Yusei flipped his Set Card, shouting against the fierce wind.
“Special Summon Double Barrel Dragon from the Graveyard!!”
“At the same time, this card’s effect activates!
When it is Summoned, Flip Summoned, or Special Summoned, target one card on your opponent’s field and flip a coin twice!!”
“If both times are heads, destroy the selected card!!”
“What?!” Akagi Ryoji exclaimed in shock.
This monster had activated its effect once before, and it wasn’t successful, but this time it might be different!
“Clink clink clink—”
Two silver coins were tossed into the air again.
The first one landed first, and it was heads, bearing the letters “KC”!
Akagi Ryoji gasped, taking a cold breath.
The next second, the second coin landed, also heads!!
“Bang bang bang—”
The sound of explosive mechanical gunshots rang out from behind.
Two prepared bullets shot out.
The moment the gun barrels spewed smoke, the fired bullets precisely pierced through Jurrac Monoloph’s head!
Without even a cry of agony, this freshly summoned monster was defeated!!
“CRASH!!!!!!”
The destruction of the card was also Akagi Ryoji’s despair.
Unable to perform any actions, he could only end his Turn.
Due to the side effect of SP: Boost, his Speed Counters continuously decreased.
In less than two seconds, Yusei overtook him again.
A strong sense of loss enveloped Akagi Ryoji.
He didn’t actually care about the things Rally stole, but the defeat of losing the Duel made him feel incredibly low.
“Then it’s my Turn!” Yusei launched his final attack. This chapter was copied from g.com without permission.
“Double Barrel Dragon attacks Jurrac Protops!!
Ice Barrier Dragon – Light Spear Dragon directly attacks!!!”
“Boom—”
Overwhelming ice explosions buried Akagi Ryoji.
The ground was covered in shards of ice, and his D-Wheel completely lost all power.
Like a deflating balloon, it slowly came to a stop at the side of the road.
The ice-blue Speed Duel space faded away, leaving only the endless dark night enveloping the street.
Akagi Ryoji sat on his D-Wheel, momentarily forgetting to remove his helmet.
“Hey.” Yusei drove his D-Wheel back, stopping steadily in front of his opponent.
“As per our previous agreement, hand over the factory parts.”
Akagi Ryoji’s eyes were filled with fatigue and loss.
He smiled bitterly: “Parts?
We have no interest in that at all!”
Yusei was stunned for a moment.
Looking at this Duelist in front of him, whose skin was somewhat dark and hair crimson, he couldn’t help but feel a little familiar, but he couldn’t recall where he had seen him, nor did he know if he was a character from the Yu-Gi-Oh!
series.
Akagi Ryoji thought he didn’t believe him, and immediately said angrily: “Do you think I’d be interested in some scrap metal?!
Are you looking down on me?
Or are you looking down on Duelists!”
“I understand.” Yusei then said, “Then, the matter of the Wildfire Team with Rally and Dichu De will be settled, right?”
Akagi Ryoji took a deep breath, sighing with a bit of indignation: “Regarding Rally, we won’t pursue it further.
Once that thing is done, I concede!
After all, you won it by gambling your D-Wheel and Deck.”
“However, the Wildfire Team can stop bothering those guys, but my personal grudge with Dichu De cannot be settled like this!”
“From now on, even if someone comes looking for Dichu De, it will only be me alone.
These matters have nothing to do with you, and I advise you not to meddle.”
Yusei said nothing more, preparing to drive his D-Wheel away.
Such a result was already enough.
The roar of the D-Wheel sounded.
Just before Yusei was about to leave, Akagi Ryoji called out to him and tossed him a card: “Hey, take this with you.
The Wildfire Team won’t trouble you anymore if they see it.”
Yusei gently took it.
It was an ancient Spell Card of almost no use value – “Mars”.
It seemed this was the Wildfire Team’s token of pledge.
“Leave your name.
The Duel I lost today, I’ll win back someday!” Akagi Ryoji said with a determined expression.
Yusei put the card away.
As smoke billowed and he suddenly departed, he responded faintly: “Yusei.”
