Bang!!
A deep-blue death ray formed from pure, high-energy mechanical particles pierced across the field, striking the core lens on Dakini's chest with unerring precision!
By Yūki's calculations, as long as he destroyed Dakini first at Chain Link 3, the ATK boost at Chain Link 2 would lose its target. Then, when Dakini's send-to-Graveyard effect resolved at Chain Link 1, his field would already be completely empty, leaving him unable to send so much as half a card!

In an instant, magnificent wings of sacred, pure-white light unfurled in the center of the arena!
A layer of indestructible, blazing golden light suddenly lit up around Dakini, who had been on the verge of being
