Chapter 127

While Yugi and King were talking, Valon continued, "Due to the effect of [Battle Mania] activated this turn, the opponent's monster must continue to attack."

"In other words, the [Straight Flush Knight] must attack the [Double Cross Armor]."

No sooner had he finished speaking Straight Flush Knight seemed to be injected with adrenaline, his body uncontrollably charging towards the other side.

Oh--!!!

Just as it approached its opponent, the crimson-armored creature delivered a flying kick.

Bang!

After kicking through the knight, the armor's offensive momentum didn't stop; it continued kicking towards the Yugi.

However, at the very moment the Yugi was about to start, a yellow demon suddenly appeared, its mouth wide open, and swallowed the crimson armor whole.

Then the demon disappeared from the field.

[Yugi Muto: LP3000→4200]

"What?! What was that thing just now?"

Valon was startled by what he saw.

Seeing the other player's reaction, Yugi chuckled and explained, "At the moment [Double Cross Armor] activated its effect, I activated the monster effect of [Damage Eater] from my graveyard."

When your opponent activates the effect of a Spell/Trap/Effect Monster that inflicts damage, you can banish this card from Yugi Graveyard to activate this effect. That effect becomes a LP recovery effect. This effect can only be activated during your opponent's turn.

"Hmph~, so that's why your health points are recovering in reverse... You're really something, Yugi Muto!"

Although his counterattack failed, Valon was not discouraged at all; on the contrary, he was very excited.

He was already looking forward to the battle to come.

"I'll set one more card face down, end of turn."

The Yugi ends at this point.

"And during the end phase, [Queen's Knight] from the graveyard is returned to the deck once again, and [Ace Knight] from the graveyard is returned to the hand."

After completing all of these steps in the Yugi, Valon drew a card from his deck.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Valon's Hand Cards: 1→2]

The helmet was projected again the instant the card was drawn.

[Psychic Headgear: Attack Power 0]

Looking at the card in his hand, Valon grinned. "Heh heh, let's stop this probing, Yugi Muto."

"Then bring it on!"

After receiving the Yugi's response, Valon couldn't wait to play one of the cards in his hand.

"Activate the Spell Card [Armor Gravity] from your hand!"

[Valon's Hand Cards: 2 → 1]

"This card's effect allows you to Special Summon any number of Level 4 or lower Armored Monsters from your Deck."

"What did you say!? Any number of armored monsters?"

The Yugi was startled by this effect.

A card that summons four monsters out of thin air without any cost and has no self-restriction is practically a fake card in a real card game.

At this moment, Valon arranged the four cards he had taken from his deck onto the Duel Disk.

"Summon [Trap Burst Armor] in Attack Position!"

[Trap Burst Armor: Attack Power 0.9]

"Summon [Burst Fist Armor] in Attack Position!"

[Burst Fist Armor: Attack Power 0]

"Summon [Over Boost Armor] in Attack Position!"

[Over Boost Armor: Attack Power 0]

"Finally, summon [Active Guard Armor] in Attack Position!"

[Active Guard Armor: Attack Power 0]

The mechanical left arm armor, mechanical right arm armor, mechanical leg armor, and mechanical chest armor were projected in sequence, forming a complete set of mechanical armor together with the helmet.

After finishing the preparations, Valon shouted, "Go! Armor Gravity!"

The armor then gathered around him, with each piece fitting into its corresponding position.

Sizzle sizzle--!

After the armor set was combined, a large amount of electricity was released from its body.

"Haaaaaah--!!!"

Valon, now a mechanical warrior, let out a triumphant shout.

"""Oh----!!!"""

The moment Valon's ridiculously over-the-top "armor combination" was completed, the audience erupted in a deafening roar of cheers.

Whether he's handsome enough is another matter; the main thing is that he's cringeworthy enough, which resonates with those suffering from chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur).

Yugi & King: How embarrassing...

At this moment, Valon pointed his fist at the Yugi and said, "The armored monster is both my protective armor and a weapon for attacking."

"Now I'll show you, Yugi, the true power my armored monster possesses."

"Bring it on!"

After the Yugi responded, Valon nodded slightly and continued, "First is the special effect of [Burst Fist Armor]: its attack power increases by 200 points for each Armored Monster on the field."

Energy immediately began to gather on the right gauntlet.

[Burst Fist Armor: Attack Power 0 → 1000]

"Summoned so many monsters, yet the attack power only increased to 1000 points!? So weak..."

Even King subconsciously showed his disgust.

Hearing this, Yugi shook his head. "So attack power isn't the strength of Armored Monsters; what's important is the direct damage effect from other Armored Monsters."

"Yeah..."

While the two were talking, Valon played the last card in his hand.

"I will Continuous Spell [Mechanical Drive Night] from my hand."

[Valon's Hand Cards: 1 → 0]

As soon as this card was activated, the Magician's Robe's Robe suddenly transformed into a suit of armor with a metallic texture.

Upon seeing this, the Yugi player frowned slightly. "Hmm!?"

At this moment, Valon pointed to the Continuous Spell and said, "As long as [Mechanical Drive Night] is on the field, all monsters on the field will become Machine-Type."

"And all Machine-Type monsters on your field gain 500 ATK and DEF."

[Psychic Headgear: Attack Power 0 → 500]

[Trap Burst Armor: Attack Power 0 → 500]

[Burst Fist Armor: Attack Power 1000 → 1500]

[Over Boost Armor: Attack Power 0 → 500]

[Active Guard Armor: Attack Power 0 → 500]

[Magician's Robe: Attack Power 700 → 200]

Since the removal of the Who Uses Dies Barrier, Valon has found this card in the card pool as a replacement to compensate for the lack of attack power in armor decks.

Of course, given the characteristics of the armor deck, the card with the strongest amplification is [United We Stand], but he just didn't draw it.

Valon smiled confidently and said, "Not only that, as long as I'm equipped with [Trap Burst Armor], my Armored Monsters won't be affected by Trap Card effects."

In this way, his subsequent attacks can ignore the Yugi's face-down cards.

Chapter 179 The Goddess's Sacred Bow

"Let's get started, Yugi!"

Valon clenched his right fist, then lifted his foot and sprinted over.

"I attack with [Burst Fist Armor], ha--!!"

His right arm armor's jet-powered device activated, and his iron fist slammed into the Magician's Robe, seemingly about to shatter it.

However, the next second, a warrior's phantom suddenly appeared, transforming into a guard to block his way.

Clang--!

The fist struck the afterimage.

"Tsk!"

Seeing this, Valon couldn't help but click his tongue, then jumped back to his original position.

At the same moment, Yugi calmly drew a card from the graveyard and said, "The instant you attacked, I banished [Gravekeeper's Guard] from the graveyard to negate the attack of [Burst Fist Armor]."

"While armored monsters can ignore Trap Card effects, they cannot be immune to monster effects."

Although Valon had anticipated this, he still felt uneasy that the Yugi had so easily neutralized his attack.

So he changed the subject and said, "Then I'll end this phase of the battle."

At the same time, press the button on the Duel Disk with your right hand, "Trap Card [High-Speed Draw], destroy any number of monsters on your field. For every two monsters destroyed, draw one card from your Deck."

"I destroy four armored monsters except [Psychic Headgear], and draw two cards from my deck."

Bang bang bang bang--!

Except for the helmet, his armor shattered one by one.

[Valon's Hand Cards: 0 → 2]

After glancing at the cards in his hand, he immediately played one of them without hesitation.

"Next, I'll play the Spell Card [Complete Armor Gravity] from my hand!"

[Valon Hand Cards: 2 → 1]

"This card's effect is to look at the top ten cards in your deck, Special Summon as many Armored Monsters as possible from among them, and send the remaining cards to the Graveyard."

Upon hearing this effect, Yugi and King gasped in unison, "Wow! Ten cards!? This effect is just too much!"

"It's even more terrifying than [Armor Gravity]!"

Yugi: It's too fake!

Even he couldn't think of any cards that could compare to it.

That's outrageous, okay?!

Before long, Valon picked out four cards from the top ten cards of his deck and placed them in a row on the Duel Disk.

"I summon these four armored monsters in Defense Position. Come!"

"Big Bang Fist Armor!"

[Big Bang Fist Armor: Attack 0→500, Defense 0→500]

"Jet Gauntlet Armor!"

[Jet Gauntlet Armor: Attack 0 → 500, Defense 1500 → 2000]

"Over Boost Armor!"

[Over Boost Armor: Attack 0 → 500, Defense 1000 → 1500]

"Active Guard Armor!"

[Active Guard Armor: Attack Power 0 → 500, Defense Power 1500 → 2000]

Valon then put the remaining six cards he had turned over into the graveyard.
