Chapter 128
"Complete Armor Gravity!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a new set of armor was successively put on his body.
"Haaaaaaahh..."
Valon, now fully dressed, let out a long, triumphant roar, then threw two punches, like a Saint Seiya warrior.
Yugi & King:...
This scene is so cringeworthy and embarrassing.
Valon: As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.
At the same time, Jonouchi was watching the live stream on the screen, muttering, "That Valon guy actually summons a monster in Defense Position!?"
In his view, Valon, as a brute, should prefer to Attack Position.
Jonouchi guessed that it was because Valon had lost to him before that he began to pay more attention to defense.
The purpose of coming here to compete was to get revenge.
However, before even facing the Jonouchi, they encountered an even more formidable Yugi, so Valon dared not be careless at all.
That's indeed the case. After all, Yugi cards isn't as straightforward as it is in real life, and if you're not careful, you can easily get screwed over.
Back on the field.
After changing his outfit, Valon declared that his turn was over.
However, there are still things to do in Yugi before the next turn arrives.
"During your end phase, I activate the monster effect of [Magician's Robe]!"
You can activate this effect by discarding 1 Spell/ Trap Card from your hand during your opponent's turn. Special Summon 1 [Dark Magician] from your Deck.
[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 3 → 2]
After he placed the card in the graveyard, the Dark Magician appeared amidst flashes of light and, under the influence of the Continuous Spell, transformed into a cold, lifeless machine.
[Dark Magician: Attack power 2500 → 2000]
Then the Yugi proceeds to draw one card from the deck.
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 2→3]
When he looked at the card, a slight smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.
King also noticed the card, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Heh, isn't this card...?"
He didn't continue.
Yugi first placed the card down, then slammed another card from his hand onto the Duel Disk, saying, "First, I send one monster (other than an Effect Monster) from my hand or field to the Graveyard, and then Special Summon [Cosmic Sage] from my hand."
Bang--!
No sooner had he finished speaking than the Dark Magician, who was a normal monster, suddenly exploded, and then a witch appeared, holding a magic wand, wearing a crimson robe and a blue robe, and was transformed into a mechanical body under the influence of the Continuous Spell.
[Cosmic Sage: Attack Power 1500 → 1000]
[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 3 → 2]
"Furthermore, based on the special effect of [Cosmic Sage], this card gains 200 ATK equal to the Level of [Dark Magician] sent to the Graveyard by this card's Special Summon."
[Cosmic Sage: Attack Power 1000 → 2400]
After that, the Yugi played the card drawn that turn, "Then I'll activate the Spell Card [Claws of Hemo] from my hand!"
Upon hearing the card name, Valon's expression changed drastically.
"Isn't that Jonouchi's card!? Why do you have it?"
The Yugi shrugged at the question and offered no answer.
The next second, accompanied by a roar, a giant brown dragon with spikes all over its back appeared above the Yugi's head.
He then continued, "With the effect of [Claws of Hemo], send a monster of the specified type from your hand or field to the Graveyard, and Special Summon the corresponding Fusion Monster."
"I'll combine my Warrior-type monster [Ace Knight] with Hemo to create an Equip Card for this monster!"
The Clown Knight, possessing the power of the Epic Knights, appears on the field and Polymerization with the Legendary Dragon.
"Appear, [the Goddess's Sacred Bow - Yazuki]!"
The moment the words were spoken, a burst of divine light erupted, and a small divine bow appeared before them.
[Goddess's Sacred Bow - Arrow Moon: Attack Power 1500 → 1000]
[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 2 → 0]
Chapter 180
Looking at the divine bow before him, Yugi continued, "The moment [Goddess's Sacred Bow - Arrow Moon] appears, its special effect is activated: this card is used as an Equip Card to equip to a monster other than yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Cosmic Sage put away his wand, took the divine bow, and then nothing else happened.
Valon looked puzzled, thinking, "My attack power hasn't increased at all, could it be some strange effect?"
While he was still speculating, Yugi pointed at the Cosmic Sage and said, "Before entering the battle phase, I will activate another special ability of the [Cosmic Sage]."
You can activate this effect by Tributing 1 Effect Monster you control. Special Summon 1 Normal Monster from your hand or Deck.
"Tribute the [Magician's Robe] on the field to Special Summon [Queen's Knight] from your Deck."
Bang!
The Magician's Robe, now transformed into metal, shattered instantly, and the Queen's Knight appeared, along with the newly summoned monster, which was also mechanized.
[Queen's Knight: Attack power 1500 → 1000]
After finishing, the Yugi waved its arm and shouted, "Battle begins! Attack [Psychic Headgear] with [Cosmic Sage]!"
At his command, the Cosmic Sage drew his divine bow, and a beam of light was fired, heading straight for Valon's head.
The Cosmic Sage's attack power now exceeds the defense power of all Armored Monsters, so even if the attack target is diverted using the Armored Monsters' effects, it cannot stop the monster from causing destruction.
"Since that's the case..."
With that, Valon swung his right fist with all his might, smashing it towards the arrow.
"When an armored monster is attacked, the target of the attack will be forcibly changed to [Big Bang Fist Armor]!"
The next second, the gauntlets suddenly exploded violently upon impact.
Boom--!!
When the smoke cleared, the scene appeared as if nothing had happened. Apart from Valon's right arm armor being gone, neither side had sustained any damage.
However, Valon's expression turned somewhat grim. "The special effect of [Big Bang Fist Armor] is that when it is destroyed in battle, all monsters on the field are destroyed, and damage equal to the combined ATK of the destroyed monsters is dealt to both players."
"Yugi You should have had your health depleted by this attack, but why didn't anything happen?"
In response to his question, the Yugi pointed to the divine bow in the hands of the Cosmic Sage and explained, "That's because of the special effect of the equipment card [Goddess's Sacred Bow - Arrow Moon]."
This card's effect allows you to negate the effects of your opponent's Spell, Trap, or Monster effects once during either player's Battle Phase if this card is equipped to it. During the Battle Phase in which this effect applies, the equipped monster can attack twice.
"Large sacs!?"
Upon hearing the Yugi's explanation, Valon's pupils suddenly contracted; there was indeed something fishy about the equipment Polymerization from the Legendary Dragon.
"It can negate card effects and even grant a monster an extra attack opportunity... truly worthy of the power of the Legendary Dragon..."
At this point, he regretted it a little; he shouldn't have used up the power of the Big Bang so early, otherwise he would have been the winner.
Unfortunately, he has already missed his chance, and there's no use thinking about it anymore.
At this point, the attack in the Yugi was not yet over.
He continued commanding, "With [the Goddess's Sacred Bow - arrow], [the arrow] will be drawn and fired."
The Cosmic Sage drew his divine bow once more and fired a second arrow of light at Valon's head.
Just then, Valon threw out his left fist, shouting, "Jet Gauntlet Armor!"
The next second, the left arm guard was ejected and collided with the arrow.
Boom--!!
The two clashed, and another violent explosion rang out. Valon then replaced his arrow with another one.
But it wasn't over yet. Suddenly, a fragment flew out from the center of the explosion and shot towards the Cosmic Sage, piercing its body.
Bang--!
The Cosmic Sage were also destroyed.
Seeing Yugi, Yugi asked with a puzzled look, "Cosmic Sage... why was it destroyed? Was it also a special effect of the Armored Monster?"
"Yes, in battle, you can destroy one of the opponent's attacking monsters by destroying the [Jet Gauntlet Armor]."
"That's really impressive!"
"Heh, you too."
The two fought back and forth, but neither could gain the upper hand for the time being.
"He's such an amazing man, AIBO."
"Yes, that's why I have to do my best."
After saying that, Yugi immediately pressed the button to face down the card, "Activate the Trap Card, Continuous Trap [Picture Card Bond]!"
You can activate this effect only if you control no monsters other than [Queen's Knight], [Jack's Knight], or [King's Knight]. Special Summon 1 monster from your hand or Graveyard that is [Queen's Knight], [Jack's Knight], or [King's Knight].
"I currently only have one monster, [Queen's Knight], on my field, therefore I Special Summon [Jack's Knight] from my Graveyard!"
Buzz--!
After the flash of light, the Jack's Knight reappeared on the field in the form of a mechanical knight.
[Jack's Knight: Attack Power 1900 → 1400]
"That concludes my turn."
The Yugi did nothing, not even recalling the Ace Knight, and just ended its turn like that.
This situation made Valon raise an eyebrow, not understanding the other party's intentions.
However, this little matter was of no importance to the brute.
"My turn!"
"[Psychic Headgear] effect activated!"
"In exchange for not drawing a card, add one Armored Monster from your Deck to your hand."
Valon took a card from his deck and immediately slammed it onto the Duel Disk.
"I summon [Burning Fist Armor] in Attack Position stance!"
Buzz--!
A mechanical armored right arm was projected to his right.
[Burning Fist Armor: Attack 0 → 500, Defense 1000 → 1500]
After the armor covered his right arm, he continued, "[Burning Fist Armor] has the same effect as [Burst Fist Armor]: its attack power increases by 200 for each Armored Monster on the field."
As soon as he finished speaking, his armor transferred energy to his right arm guard.
[Burning Fist Armor: Attack Power 500 → 1300]
"Is the attack power just enough to destroy [Queen's Knight]...? Then I'll activate the effect of the Continuous Trap [Picture Card Bond] once more and Special Summon [King's Knight] from my Graveyard in Defense Position!"
As soon as the Yugi was started, the King's Knight appeared and entered the arena.
[King's Knight: Defense 1400 → 900]
Chapter 181 Heavenly Knight
After the King's Knight appeared, Valon couldn't wait any longer, shouting, "Let's fight! My attack, Burning Fist!"
He immediately rushed over and punched the Queen's Knight.
