Chapter 131
[Jet Gauntlet Armor: Attack Power 0]
[Active Guard Armor: Defense 1500]
Just as Valon was preparing to combine his armor, Yugi quickly activated the face-down card.
"At this very moment, the Trap Card [Dark Magician Resurrection Coffin] is activated!"
When your opponent successfully Normal or Special Summons a monster, you can target that monster and 1 Spellcaster monster you control; send both monsters to the Graveyard. After that, you can Special Summon 1 Dark Attribute Monster from your Spellcaster or Graveyard.
"What!?"
Before Valon could react, a deep red coffin appeared, and then the lid opened automatically.
"Absorb the [Magician's Robe] and [Big Bang Fist Armor] of the Spellcaster!"
Two beams of energy shot out from the coffin, pulling them inside.
"Rise, [Dark Magician]!"
As soon as the Yugi's words were spoken, the coffin lid reopened, and the figure of the Dark Magician jumped out.
[Dark Magician: Attack Power 2500]
Chapter 184 End of the Second Match
Seeing his most effective weapon removed, leaving him with only three pieces of armor, Valon's expression darkened; he was somewhat resentful.
"Damn it, I've been tricked!"
But he couldn't care less about that now.
"Phoenix Gravity!"
As soon as he finished shouting, three pieces of armor were successively placed on Valon's upper body.
After equipping himself, Valon continued to play his last remaining card, "It's not over yet, I'll activate the Spell Card [Monster Reborn] from my hand and Special Summon [Big Bang Fist Armor] from my Graveyard!"
Just as the Monster Reborn was about to take effect.
The next moment.
Bang!
The Monster Reborn suddenly exploded without warning.
"What!?"
Valon stared in disbelief at the scene before him.
At this moment, Yuuki took a card from the graveyard and explained, "When you activated [Monster Reborn], I activated the effect of the Trap Card [Magician's Guidance Formation] from the graveyard."
If you control [Dark Magician], you can banish this card from your Graveyard and target 1 face-up Spell/ Trap Card your opponent controls to activate this effect. Negate that card's effect until the end of the turn. This effect cannot be activated the turn this card is sent to the Graveyard.
The Magician's Guidance Formation: Got it!
The change came so suddenly that Valon was stunned and didn't know how to speak.
The Yugi then continued, "And because Valon has zero cards in his hand, [Golden Heavenly Knight]'s attack power is reduced by 1000 points."
[Golden Heavenly Knight: Attack Power 2500 → 1500]
"Okay, you can continue."
The Yugi player gestured to the other player, indicating that they should continue.
"Oh, oh oh..."
Valon Ba finally came to Yugi senses, and Qi hurriedly asked Lu, "Lu, by the way, when did [Magician's Guide] go to the graveyard? I don't remember you using this Trap Card?"
"Yes, I only have one chance to send Trap Card to the graveyard."
Valon thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "It was around that time..."
Following the other person's words, the Yugi continued, "When I activated the effect of [Magician's Robe] to summon [Dark Magician], I discarded a Spell Card or Trap Card, and [Magician's Guidance Formation] was the card I put into the Graveyard at that time."
Valon: "Hiss... Yugi, you actually thought that far ahead, saving the card for a crucial moment to deliver a fatal blow..."
Then he changed the subject, "But even though my Spell Card was negated, I can still activate the effect of Armored Monster."
"Can you stop my attack now?"
As he spoke, he raised his right fist, preparing to attack.
"Battle begins! I'm attacking with [Piercing Heart Armor]..."
However, before he could finish speaking, Yugi took another card from the graveyard. "Valon, have you forgotten that I have other cards in my graveyard?"
"During the opponent's battle phase, this battle phase ends by removing [Electromagnetic Turtle] from the graveyard!"
This defensive card was prepared to prevent Valon from attacking him at close range. The Yugi is only being used now, since it's almost over anyway, so there's no harm in using it.
Valon, who was suddenly interrupted, froze in his punching motion.
"..."
He did forget, because he had kept the Yugi unused and overlooked it.
He had no choice but to lower his right hand. "Then my turn is over."
Although he could only end his turn, he still said defiantly, "Don't be so smug. With the special effect of [Active Guard Armor], even if you activate the effect of [Golden Heavenly Knight] and destroy all my armored monsters, I won't take a single hit."
"Solvadocana!"
"What!?"
Seeing Valon echo the Yugi's lines, King gently shook his head, thinking, "When AIBO said those words, it meant that the victory of the duel already belonged to AIBO."
"Moreover, AIBO already has the conditions to guarantee victory..."
As King was thinking this, the Yugi had already drawn a card from the deck.
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 3→4]
Without even glancing at the card drawn, the Yugi immediately picked up the other card from their hand and held it high.
"I activate the Spell Card [Eye of Timaeus] from my hand!"
[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 4 → 3]
Roar--!
With a roar, a giant, dark green dragon appeared, and another Legendary Dragon materialized.
"There's a second Legendary Dragon!?"
Looking at the giant dragon, Valon felt uneasy.
The Yugi continues, "Using the effect of [Eye of Timaeus], a [Dark Magician] monster can be directly Fusion Summon."
"Merge, Timaeus, Dark Magician!"
The moment the Yugi's sound ended, the figures of the dragon and the Dark Magician overlapped, Polymerization a vortex that emitted a powerful light.
"Show yourself, [Super Magic Warrior - Chaos Ruler]!"
As the light faded, a mage warrior wearing the armor of Chaos Warrior and a large cloak emerged from the light.
[Super Magic Warrior - Chaos Ruler: Attack Power 3000]
As soon as the warrior appeared, Yugi waved his arm and shouted, "The special effect of [Super Magician Warrior - Chaos Ruler] summoned through Fusion Summon is activated!"
Special Summon 1 Light Attribute or DARK Attribute monster from your Graveyard.
"Rise again, [Dark Magician]!"
Buzz--!
As the light flashed, the Dark Magician was projected once more.
[Dark Magician: Attack Power 2500]
"Now I have both Light Attribute and DARK Attribute monsters on my field..."
Hearing the Yugi's words, Valon became increasingly uneasy.
Just then, Yugi pointed at the Magic Warrior and continued, "I activate another special ability of [Super Magic Warrior - Chaos Ruler], by sacrificing one Light Attribute and one DARK Attribute monster on my field to banish all monsters on my opponent's field."
"What did you say!?"
Although Valon's eyes were covered by his helmet, the Yugi still allowed players to vaguely discern his panicked expression.
"By disrupting the effect, you can indeed activate the [Active Guard Armor] effect, making you immune to all damage."
"Then I won't destroy it; I'll just eliminate it directly."
"..."
At this point, Valon realized that he had been completely defeated.
"Offering the [Golden Heavenly Knight] of Light Attribute and the [Dark Magician] of DARK Attribute as sacrifices, [Super Magician Warrior - Chaos Ruler] attacks Valon!"
As soon as the Yugi finished speaking, the two monsters transformed into light and dark energy and poured it into the Chaos Blade of the Super Magician Warrior.
Then, he swung his sword, and a stream of chaotic light shot towards Valon.
Boom--!!
Valon and his armor were submerged.
[Valon: LP1300 → 0]
Chapter 185 Katsuya Jonouchi VS Tenma Yakou
After the light faded, Valon's figure reappeared, and it could be seen that he was no longer covered by armor.
"Ha, I've lost..."
Valon's expression showed no sign of defeat; he seemed quite relaxed.
"A good duel, Valon."
"Um!"
"But I really wanted to duel Jonouchi, it's just a bit of a shame."
Yugi prefers fighting Valon to Jonouchi, since both of them are straightforward people.
Jonouchi will respond to Valon's fighting spirit and play cards (fight) with him, unlike in the Yugi where he is kept at bay throughout the entire match.
Thinking back to his last battle with Jonouchi, Valon felt his blood boil. It was just a pity that he was eliminated from the Yugi early and didn't get to meet Jonouchi here.
Having already lost, he decided not to linger and get in the way, and simply slipped away.
"I'm leaving, Yugi. Please say goodbye to Jonouchi me. I'll fight him again next time I have the chance."
He waved his hand, turned around, and left amidst the applause of the audience.
"Oh well."
After watching Valon leave, Yugi also turned and left, returning to the lounge.
"Yosh! It's my turn next!"
Jonouchi's voice echoed from the lounge.
"Good luck, Jonouchi-kun."
The second match in the quarterfinals will be Jonouchi's game.
"Oh! Leave it to me!"
After responding to their encouragement during the Yugi, Jonouchi left the lounge.
He ran into his opponent in the hallway.
"Your name is Tenma Yakou, right?"
"Um!?"
The man in the purple coat, with long green hair and sharp eyes, turned around to look at Jonouchi him and the Yugi of onlookers.
"Let's have a good duel."
