Chapter 1266: Assault Blackwing
Boom!!!
The overwhelming bombing of the Meklord Emperor Skiel, the light effect and flames almost engulfed Crow. The flames of the explosion rushed into the sky, and the shock wave swept through the confined space like a tsunami.
"Done." Luciano raised the corner of his mouth, "It's so easy…
…Huh?"
The smoke dissipated, and Crow Hogan was still standing stubbornly, breathing heavily with a dusty face.
【Crow, LP 2300】
"Why didn't Skiel defeat you?"
"Because I activated this card…" Crow calmed his breath and pointed to the trap beside him, "Trap Card ‘Twinkle Wall'. When an opponent's monster declares an attack, negate that attack. Then I take damage equal to half the ATK of the monster whose attack was negated. The opponent cannot activate Spell/Trap Cards until the End Phase!" (Animation card)
"Tsk, you actually managed to block it." Luciano smiled, "But it would be meaningless if it was so easy to defeat you. My turn is over!"
Crow breathed a sigh of relief.The Meklord Emperor, as Yusei said, was a very powerful monster even without the effect of "Synchro Absorption".
Especially for his deck with Synchro as the main combat power, it was even more difficult to deal with it. If his past self encountered such a strong enemy, he might really be helpless.
But now he was different!
After this period of training, he and his Blackwing have both transformed. Now he was a brand new Crow Hogan!
Now was the time to show the results!
"My turn, draw!" Crow said, "Activate the Spell Card ‘Card of Variation'! Draw two cards from the deck, but I must send one card from my hand or field to the graveyard at the end of the turn, otherwise, I will take 3000 points of damage."
He drew two cards.
Here it comes!
This is the most critical and strongest core card of my Blackwing deck that Mr. Yuei Vu emphasized in the previous special training!
Then Crow played this card without hesitation: "Activate the Continuous Spell ‘Black Whirlwind' from my hand!"
The Spell Card appeared beside Crow, and the Blackwings were floating all over the sky.
"When a ‘Blackwing' monster is Normal Summoned to my field: I can add 1 ‘Blackwing' monster from my Deck to my hand with less ATK than that monster.
Then I activate the effect of ‘Blackwing – Simoon the Poison Wind' in my hand!
If I control no monsters and have this card in my hand: I can banish 1 other ‘Blackwing' monster from my hand; place 1 ‘Black Whirlwind' from my Deck face-up in my Spell & Trap Zone!"
He pulled out another card that was automatically ejected from the deck.
"I banish the ‘Blackwing – Kochi the Daybreak' from my hand and place the second ‘Black Tornado' from my deck on the field!" said Crow, "And, after this effect is applied, I can Normal Summon the ‘Blackwing – Simoon the Poison Wind' in my hand without Tributing!
Appear, Simoon the Poison Wind!"
[Blackwing – Simoon the Poison Wind, ATK 1600]
"At this moment, the effects of both ‘Black Whirlwind' on the field are activated!" Crow said, "Because I successfully Normal Summoned ‘Simoon the Poison Wind', I can add two ‘Blackwing' monsters with an ATK less than Simoon's ATK, which is 1600, from my deck to my hand."
Crow drew out two cards that popped out of the deck in one breath.
"I'll add ‘Blackwing – Oroshi the Squall' and ‘Blackwing – Gale the Whirlwind' to my hand from my deck!"
After a pause, Crow continued: "Then ‘Blackwing – Oroshi the Squall' can be Special Summoned directly from my hand when there are other ‘Blackwing' on my field.
Appear! Blackwing – Oroshi the Squall!"
[Blackwing – Oroshi the Squall, ATK 400]
"Level 1, Tuner monster ‘Blackwing – Oroshi the Squall'! Level 6, ‘Blackwing – Simoon the Poison Wind'! Tuning!"
[1+6=7]
"Spread your jet-black wings, and storm forth in tandem with the roaring thunder! A slash of lightning!"
Crow raised his arms and shouted loudly.
"Synchro Summon! Cascade, the evolved new Blackwing–
–Assault Blackwing – Raikiri the Rain Shower!!!"
The Blackwings danced in the synchronized starlight, and the new Blackwing warrior flew out of the light curtain holding a long sword. He had wide wings that were asymmetrical on the left and right, half of which were as white as an angel, and the other half were as black as a fallen angel.
[Assault Blackwing – Raikiri the Rain Shower, ATK 2600]
"Assault Blackwing?" Luciano frowned again.
Does Crow Hogan's Blackwing have this form? Why did the intelligence not have this part?
And the operation on Crow's side has just begun.
"Then I Normal Summon the ‘Blackwing – Gale the Whirlwind' that I retrieved from my deck earlier!"
[Blackwing – Gale the Whirlwind, ATK 1300]
"At this moment, the effect of ‘Black Whirlwind' is activated again!" said Crow, "Gale's ATK is 1300, so I can add up to two Blackwings with ATK below 1300 to my hand.
I add ‘Blackwing – Harmattan the Dust' and the second ‘Blackwing – Oroshi the Squall' from my deck to my hand!"
"Gale the Whirlwind's effect is activated!" said Crow, "Once per turn, reduce the ATK and DEF of an opponent's monsters by half!
I reduce the ATK of ‘Meklord Emperor Skiel' by half!"
[Meklord Emperor Skiel, ATK 3400 → ATK 1700]
"Tsk, you dare to reduce the ATK of my Meklord Emperor without permission," Luciano muttered.
"Then, when I have another ‘Blackwing' on my field, I can Special Summon ‘Blackwing – Bora the Spear' from my hand!"
[Blackwing – Bora the Spear, ATK 1700]
"Then I activate the effect of ‘Assault Blackwing – Raikiri the Rain Shower'!
Once per turn, I can target cards the opponent controls, up to the number of other ‘Blackwing' monsters I control; destroy them!" said Crow, "Now, I have ‘Blackwing – Gale the Whirlwind' and ‘Blackwing – Bora the Spear' on my field.
Therefore, I can destroy up to two cards!"
He pointed at the huge Meklord Emperor.
"I destroy ‘Meklord Emperor Skiel Infinity' and ‘Wisel Attack 5'!"
The ability of Raikiri was activated! It was the new power of the evolved Assault Blackwing, with a powerful offensive ability that previous Blackwing monsters could not match!
"Tsk, then the effect of ‘Meklord Deflection' in my GY is activated." Luciano frowned, "If a ‘Meklord' monster I control would be destroyed by battle or card effect, I can banish this card from my GY instead.
I invalidate the destruction of ‘Meklord Emperor Skiel Infinity'!"
The protective shield protected the core of Skiel and helped it avoid the fate of destruction. But the Wisel Attack unit from Placido was not so lucky. It was penetrated on the spot and was blown into pieces under the power of Raikiri.
The main attack components were destroyed, so the attack power of the Meklord Emperor, which had been halved, should be reduced. But due to being affected by the debuff of "Gale the Whirlwind", it didn't change.
[Meklord Emperor Skiel, ATK 1700]
"Level 3, Tuner monster ‘Blackwing – Gale the Whirlwind'! Level 4, ‘Blackwing – Bora the Spear'! Tuning!"
[3+4=7]
"Darkened gales, become the wings which will soar to the heavens! Synchro Summon–
Blackwing Armor Master!!!"
The heavy black armor wrapped around Blackwing's warrior, with a crow-like helmet shape and wide black metal wings. That was Crow's early trump card, Blackwing's signature monster, Armor Master!
[Blackwing Armor Master, ATK 2500]
Armor Master could not be destroyed by battle, did not cause battle damage to its controller, and could place "Wedge Counter" on monsters that had fought with it. By removing the placed Wedge Counter, the attack power of the monsters that have fought with it would be reduced to 0.
In the early stage of Synchro environment, this effect was once very powerful.
"Be prepared to take the attack!" said Crow, "This is my Blackwing's brand new power!"
