Chapter 362

"Attack power of only 800? What's the point of summoning such weak monsters?"

In response to Ushio's question, Yusei calmly continued, "[Flame Purple Dragon Giant Firebug] is both a Synchro Monster and Tuner monster..."

"What did you say?!"

"Furthermore, if [Jet Synchron] is sent to the Graveyard as Synchro Material, and I then activate an effect to add a [Junk] monster from my Deck to my hand, I add [Junk Servant] to my hand and Special Summon it."

[Junk Servant: Attack Power 1500]

"[Junk Servant]'s monster effect is: If you control a [Junk] monster, you can Special Summon this card from your hand."

In this way, another set of Synchro Material has been collected on the Yusei Field.

Under the horrified gaze of Commander Ushio, Yusei gripped the handle of his D-Wheel and shouted, "I'll use a Level 4 [Junk Servant] to counter a Level 2 [Flame Purple Dragon Giant Firebug]!"

"Appear from the horizon of all things! Gravity warrior, [Gravity Warrior]!"

The next moment, a dazzling burst of synchronized light erupted, and a blue steel figure with a lion-like head burst through the light and arrived beside Yusei, its wires hanging down like a mane.

At that moment, Yusei pointed to the blue warrior beside him and shouted, "At this instant, [Gravity Warrior]'s monster effect activates!"

"When this card is successfully Synchro Summon, this card gains ATK equal to 300 times the value of all face-up monsters your opponent controls."

"You have two monsters on your field, therefore your ATK increases by 600! Brave Gravity!"

[Gravity Warrior: Attack Power 2100 → 2700]

In the blink of an eye, Yusei summoned three high-ATK Synchro Monsters through four consecutive Synchro Summon, two of which were just enough to defeat the two monsters from Ushio.

Seeing this, Ushio dared not boast anymore and forced himself to remain calm, saying, "Even if all your monsters attack, I still have enough life points left..."

"Solvadocana!"

"What?!"

Yusei's lips curled slightly upward as he chuckled and continued, "[Flame Purple Dragon Giant Firebug] also has its monster effect. When this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, it activates, reducing the ATK of all monsters your opponent controls by 500."

As soon as the sound faded, a layer of purple flames suddenly appeared on the bodies of the Chimeratech Dragon and the Royal Guardian, scorching them.

'Roar--!!' x3

'Ah--!!'

As the purple flames dissipated, their screams ceased, and their bodies grew weak as a result.

[Chimeratech Dragon: Attack Power 3900 → 3400]

[Royal Guardian: Attack Power 2800 → 2300]

"Oh no!!"

What this situation means is self-evident; Ushio Yusei calculate the final result himself.

So Yusei turned the handle to accelerate the D-Wheel forward until it was parallel to the D-Wheel of the Ushio.

Then Yusei swung his arm and decisively gave the order, "Go! [Gravity Warrior] attack [Royal Guardian], Cross Impact!"

Immediately, the Gravity Warrior raised its sharp claws and attacked the Royal Guardian, tearing it to shreds with a loud bang.

"Cut...!"

[Tetsu Ushio: LP4000→3600]

"Then, [Junk Warrior] attacks [Chimeratech Dragon], Junk Fist!"

Under Yusei's command, the thrusters on the Junk Warrior's back propelled it to new speed, and it unleashed a punch equipped with gauntlets.

The next second, the power of this punch materialized into a massive phantom of fist energy, instantly blasting the Chimeratech Dragon into dust.

"Gurgle...!"

[Tetsu Ushio: LP3600→3000]

"Damn it!"

The monsters with the Ushio were all wiped out in the blink of an eye, and the monster's health was reduced to just 3000 points, so...

"The final blow! [Stardust Warrior] attacks the player directly with Lightning Claw!!"

The Stardust Warrior raised his sharp claws, and his energy suddenly gathered on them. Then, the solidified energy poured into the Ushio.

"Ughhhhh!!!"

[Tetsu Ushio: LP3000→0]

Laugh--!!

As the Ushio's health points reached zero, the word 'DEFEAT' appeared on the D-Wheel screen, and at the same time, the police car's safety device activated, with a large amount of cooling gas being emitted from the front of the car.

The police D-Wheel brakes came to an abrupt halt, forcing Ushio's car to stop on the dilapidated street.

"Unbelievable! I actually lost to trash? How could there be such a terrifying guy in the Satellite District...?"

It was at this moment that Yusei's D-Wheel pulled up in front of Ushio and slowly said, "As agreed, you can no longer pursue our matter."

After saying this, Yusei turned the handle again and aloofly rode away on the D-Wheel.

Having been thoroughly humiliated, Ushio slammed his right hand on D-Wheel and cursed, "Damn it!"

At the same time, he was determined to defeat Yusei.

Of course, he'll eventually realize that this was just him overestimating his abilities, but that's a story for another time.

On the other side, Yusei drove the D-Wheel into a deserted area under the cover of night. After observing the deserted surroundings, he looked at his right arm with a probing gaze.

During the battle just now, he clearly felt a strange and inexplicable sensation coming from above.

Chapter Four: Heading into the City; Forced Duel

"This is..."

Yusei looked bewildered, because after taking off his gloves, he saw a mark on his right arm.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that the design depicts a dragon's head.

Just as Yusei was pondering what this meant, the dragon seal suddenly emitted a red light, and he sensed that something was trying to communicate with him through the seal.

Strangely, Yusei could sense that the being was trying to curry favor with him, seemingly because Yusei had displayed extraordinary intelligence in the previous battle, and therefore wanted to give him his power.

Since he didn't sense any hostility from that being, Yusei readily accepted the situation. "Interesting. Then I'll borrow your power for a bit."

As soon as he finished speaking, the dragon seal flickered, as if the being was very happy.

As for how to use Yusei, what the cost of using that power would be, and what things it could accomplish, we'll have to study that slowly when we get back.

On the other side, an arm stored in a certain temple also had the same mark, except that when the dragon head mark was given to Yusei, the Dragon Mark on this arm had quietly changed into a dragon tail mark.

The scene shifts, Yusei drives the car to a Secret Base.

Seemingly hearing the engine sound of D-Wheel, a cute boy excitedly ran out, followed by three friends with faces resembling extras.

"Yusei!"

Yusei, supporting himself with D-Wheel, stood up and asked, "Larry, everyone, are you all alright?"

"Yes, we're all fine!"

"It's all thanks to you, Yusei."

"What happened just now? Why did it take so long?"

So Yusei briefly recounted the events of tonight's duel, but didn't mention the Dragon Seal or the memory, since those were too far beyond common sense, and mentioning them would only worry them.

"He actually agreed to Yusei's duel. That guard wasn't bad at all... But this way, the guards won't be chasing us anymore. That's great. Yusei, I promise you, I will never steal anything again."

Seeing Larry's sincere expression, Yusei smiled knowingly, "Yes, thanks to the chip you gave me, I now have the ability to challenge Jack."

"Are you going to duel Jack?"

"Jack will probably be very surprised..."

Yusei said calmly, "I just want him to return [Stardust Dragon] to me, that's all... because it belongs to everyone."

"That's true."

Everyone misses that dragon.

At this point, everyone was immersed in fond memories, and Yusei became even more determined to go to the city.

Over the next few days, Yusei adjusted the performance of the D-Wheel until the speed met the requirements before taking action.

As midnight approached, with everything ready, Yusei finally started the D-Wheel and set off.

The destination is the city's Pipe to the Satellite, where it shuts down once a month at midnight for internal maintenance.

It will take three minutes for that tunnel to finish maintenance and then be flushed out of the trash again. Yusei needs to make the most of those three minutes to get through the tunnel and into the city. Luckily, with Yusei's current D-Wheel, he can cover that distance in just two minutes, which is more than enough.

However, just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard a police siren and the engine of D-Wheel behind him.

Soon, the police D-Wheel vehicle caught up.

Yusei subconsciously turned his head and saw it was the same Ushio officer from before. "We meet again, you guys from the Satellite District! This isn't a place for someone like you. Get lost!"

Ushio tried to ram Yusei with his D-Wheel, but Yusei naturally didn't have time to play along. So Yusei ignored him, turned the handle of his D-Wheel to increase power, and flung Ushio away.

"What the hell is that bastard trying to do?" Seeing Yusei charging straight towards the junkyard, Ushio quickly realized, "Could it be...?!"

After learning what Yusei was planning to do, Ushio decisively accelerated and chased after Yusei relentlessly.

"Damn it, that bastard, he's not getting away!"

"This is a perfect location to use Special Pursuit Deck..."

"Um?"

Before Yusei could understand what the other person meant, Ushio, who had caught up, suddenly pressed a button on the screen. "Hey, Field Spell forced activation, [Speed World]!"

'Duel mode, autopilot ready!'

As the electronic sound from the D-Wheel rang out, a wave spread out, and the surrounding space was quickly enveloped in a purple filter.

At the same time, Speed World also appeared on Yusei's D-Wheel screen.

"What!?" Yusei's expression changed upon seeing this.

The Duel Disk mounted on his D-Wheel unfolded uncontrollably, 'Duel mode, autopilot ready!'

"Hey, how about it? This is a great item that connects with [Speed World] to pull your opponent into Field Spell! I don't know where you're going, but if you want to move forward, you'll have to be my opponent!"

Despite the unexpected situation, Yusei remained calm. "A program specifically designed for pursuit by the guards...? Oh well, let's finish this quickly."

"Duel!!" ×2

[Yusei Fudo: LP4000]

[Tetsu Ushio: LP4000]

"I'll strike first!"

[Tetsu Ushio's hand cards: 5→6]

Ushio didn't hold back at all, seizing the first turn. "I Special Summon [Chimeratech Dragon] by sending three monster cards—[Handcuff Dragon], [Assault Trooper], and [Samurai Sword Baron]—to the Graveyard!"

As three cards were sent to the graveyard, three cards appeared around Ushio, and in the next second they merged into a blue three-headed dragon.

[Chimeratech Dragon: Attack Power 3900]

[Tetsu Ushio's hand cards: 6→2]

"Chimeratech Dragon... is it going to unfold the same way as last time?"

Hearing Yusei's mutterings, Ushio curled his lip and sneered, "Heh, I won't make the same mistake twice!"

"I've applied for Special Pursuit Deck to deal with you. This time, I won't let you be so arrogant!"

Ushio picked up a card from his hand and placed it on the Duel Disk, Defense Position, "I summon [Wall of Defense] in Defense Position!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of light shot out and solidified into a thick wall with eyes etched into the path in front of Yusei.

[Wall of Defense: Defense 2000]

"Place one more card in ambush, end of turn."

[Tetsu Ushio's hand cards: 2→0]
