Chapter 130
[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 3 → 2]
"Not good!!"
Upon hearing this, Valon's expression changed drastically.
Before he could react, the Golden Heavenly Knight swung his knight's sword in his left hand, unleashing a blade of sword energy that shot towards the opposite direction.
Bang! Bang!
The sword energy instantly sliced through the two cards in Valon's back row, shattering them.
Without the boost from the two Spell Cards, the armored monster's attack power returned to normal.
[Psychic Headgear: Attack Power 500 → 0]
[Active Guard Armor: Defense 2000 → 1500]
[Over Boost Armor: Defense 1500 → 1000]
[Black Hole Shield Armor: Attack Power 3700 → 0]
Furthermore, without the influence of the Continuous Spell [Mechanical Drive Night], the Golden Heavenly Knight, who had originally become Machine-Type, reverted to Warrior-type, restoring himself to his original mechanical form.
The Yugi then inserts another card into the Duel Disk, saying, "It's not over yet, I'll activate the Equip Spell [Re- Polymerization] from my hand!"
You can activate this card by paying 800 Life Points and targeting 1 Fusion Monster in your Graveyard. Special Summon that monster, and equip it with this card. When this card is destroyed, banish that monster.
[Yugi Muto: LP2200→1400]
[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 2 → 1]
[Golden Heavenly Knight: Attack Power 1000 → 500]
"Rise, [Heavenly Knight]!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of light emanated from the equipment card, and the Heavenly Knight was projected from it.
[Heavenly Knight: Attack Power 3800]
"Tsk!"
Seeing this monster gave Valon a headache.
Fortunately, it wasn't summoned using [Great Fusion], otherwise he wouldn't have been able to handle it anymore.
Soon, the Yugi player waved his arm and shouted, "Battle begins! I'm using [Heavenly Knight] to attack [Black Hole Shield Armor]!"
The Heavenly Knight immediately raised his longsword and leaped high into the air.
Drink--!
The knight swung his longsword down at Valon's left hand.
It looked like it was about to hit the opponent.
However, the next second, Valon raised his left arm and shouted, "Black Hole Shield!!"
A black opening appeared at the elbow of the mechanical armor, instantly releasing a powerful gust of air that transformed into an invisible shield.
Bite--!!
The knight's sword, striking the air shield, could not advance an inch.
"What!?"
The Yugi was taken aback by what it saw.
The Heavenly Knight was pushed back by the recoil of the air shield.
Then the airflow released by the black hole stopped, and Valon shouted, "Special ability activated! Use [Black Hole Shield Armor] as a sacrifice to nullify the opponent's monster's attacks!"
Bang!
He had barely finished speaking when the armor on his left arm shattered.
The Yugi developer frowned. "Wow, there are so many effects..."
"Indeed, although you can only attack with one armored monster, each armored monster has a special effect as a substitute. By using the effects of multiple parts to make up for the shortcomings in battle, I think that's probably the strength of the armored deck."
"Yes, that's what I thought too."
Yugi nodded in agreement at what King said.
"Then I'll end this battle phase and then set one card face down."
[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 1 → 0]
Just as he was about to announce the end of his turn, Valon shouted again, "Wait! During your Main Phase, destroy one of your monsters and set [High-Speed Draw] face-down on the field from your Graveyard."
Bang!
The armor on his legs shattered, and then a card appeared beneath his feet.
Chapter 183
The Yugi stared at the face-down card at Valon's feet and said, "Is this the time to recycle [High-Speed Draw]... then my turn is over."
"Then, using the effect of [Ace Knight], the Light Attribute Warrior-type- Type monster [Supreme Ace] from the Graveyard is returned to the Deck, and this card from the Graveyard is returned to the hand."
[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 0→1]
"My turn!"
"Using the effect of [Psychic Headgear], forgo drawing cards this turn and add the Armored Monster [Piercing Heart Armor] from your Deck to your hand."
Valon immediately slammed the card onto the Duel Disk after receiving it, "Summon [Piercing Heart Armor] in Attack Position!"
Buzz--!
Another right-arm armor was projected and put on his arm.
[Piercing Heart Armor: Attack Power 0]
"This [Piercing Heart Armor] also has special abilities!"
"Take this, nail shot!"
He threw his fist out from the spot, and the nails on his boxing glove shot out.
Bang--!
The next second, the Heavenly Knight was instantly pierced by the nail.
[Yugi Muto: LP1400→900]
Watching his health points decrease, Yugi frowned. "He actually defeated [Heavenly Knight] with [Piercing Heart Armor], which has zero attack power. Is this the special ability of this armored monster...?"
"That's right, [Piercing Heart Armor]'s special ability is that this card takes zero battle damage, destroys the opponent's monster after battle, and inflicts 500 damage to the opponent."
Bang!
As soon as Valon finished speaking, his right arm armor shattered automatically.
"You're really capable, Valon. But your attack is over now."
"Hmm..."
Upon hearing this, Valon dared not relax for a moment.
Next up was the Yugi.
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 1→2]
After glancing at the cards in his hand, he ignored the Yugi.
He immediately threw another card from his hand into the graveyard, saying, "I sacrifice the monster card [Ace Knight] as a price to activate the special effect of [Golden Heavenly Knight] once again, destroying all monsters on my opponent's field."
[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 2 → 1]
The Golden Heavenly Knight raised his knight's sword, preparing to strike Valon's body.
However, at that moment, Valon quickly clicked the face-down button, "Open face-down, Trap Card [High-Speed Draw] activated!"
"Destroy two armored monsters, then draw one card from your deck."
Bang bang--!
The helmet and breastplate on Valon's body immediately shattered, and his hair, which had been crushed by the helmet, bounced off, creating a rather comical scene.
[Valon's Hand Cards: 0 → 1]
[Golden Heavenly Knight: Attack Power 500 → 1000]
Since the armored monster was destroyed prematurely, the Golden Heavenly Knight, having lost his target, lowered his sword.
"It's not over yet. Based on the special ability of the destroyed [Active Guard Armor], all damage received this turn can be reduced to zero."
In this way, Valon cannot be damaged in this Yugi.
Then Yugi inserts the cards from his hand into the Duel Disk, and says, "I will then activate the Quick-Play Spell [Burial of the Different] from my hand."
[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 1 → 0]
[Golden Heavenly Knight: Attack Power 1000 → 500]
"All three of the Painted Knights, excluding those from the Yugi, have returned to my graveyard."
"That concludes my turn."
Once you return all three cards to the Graveyard, the Yugi ends immediately for that turn.
Next up was Valon.
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Valon's Hand Cards: 1→2]
[Golden Heavenly Knight: Attack Power 500 → 10.00]
After glancing at his hand, Valon placed it in his left hand and then took a card from the graveyard. "During the Standby Phase, I Summon [Psychic Headgear] from the Graveyard in Attack Position due to its Special Effect!"
The helmet reappeared on the field and was put on his head.
[Psychic Headgear: Attack Power 0]
After the helmet revived, Yugi immediately shouted, "The moment the monster was Special Summoned, I activated the effect of the Continuous Trap [Picture Card Bond] once again, banishing three Ejak Knights from my Graveyard and drawing three cards from my Deck."
"Degeneration!!"
He readily grabbed three cards from his deck.
[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 0 → 3]
[Golden Heavenly Knight: Attack Power 1000 → 2500]
Glancing at his hand and looking at the cards on it, the Yugi player smiled happily.
And the Yugi didn't stop there; he took another card from the graveyard, "And because [Picture Card Bond] activated its effect, I can activate the special effect of [Magician's Robe] from the graveyard."
While this card is in the Graveyard, you can activate this effect if you activate a Spell/ Trap Card effect during your opponent's turn. Special Summon this card from the Graveyard. If this card Special Summoned by this effect leaves the field, banish it.
Buzz--!
Amidst the shimmering light, the Magician's Robe reappeared on stage.
[Magician's Robe: Defense 2000]
"Tsk!"
Seeing how easily people were making money earning Yugi cards, Valon felt a little uneasy.
With a stern face, he inserted a card into the Duel Disk, "Then activate the Spell Card [Phoenix Gravity] from my hand!"
"What!? Could it be...?"
Upon hearing the word "gravity," Yugi and King immediately thought of the two cards from before.
Just then, Valon continued, "This Spell Card can Special Summon four Armored Monsters from the Graveyard."
He immediately retracted his arm and shouted, "Resurrect! [Big Bang Fist Armor], [Piercing Heart Armor], [Jet Gauntlet Armor], [Active Guard Armor]!"
Two mechanical right arm guards, one mechanical left arm guard, and one mechanical breastplate appeared in front of him one after another.
[Big Bang Fist Armor: Attack Power 0]
[Piercing Heart Armor: Attack Power 0]
