Looking at the dinosaur, Jonouchi frowned. "3500 ATK..."
His opponent had summoned two high-ATK monsters in a single turn, which was proving rather troublesome.
Upstairs, Valon said with interest, "Whoa~, didn't expect this kid to be pretty capable."
Rafael nodded. "After all, he was once the runner-up of the Japan National Duel Championship. It's not strange for him to be this strong."
At that moment, Rex Raptor continued, "I'm not done yet. I activate Ancient Dinosaur Beast's special ability."
This card's effect could only be activated when it was in the Monster Zone and a Dinosaur-Type monster was Special Summoned from his Graveyard. He drew one card from his Deck.
"Draw!"
[Rex Raptor's hand: 0→1]
After glancing at the card he had drawn, he placed it in his left hand. "Next, I'll show you the power of my enhanced Deck to my heart's content."
"Go! Ancient Dinosaur Beast, attack Magical Knight of Souls—Soul Spear!"
Following Rex Raptor's command, Ancient Dinosaur Beast opened its jaws and fired a blast of breath at Soul Spear.
Bang—!!
Soul Spear was instantly blasted to pieces.
"Argh—!!"
Jonouchi was sent flying by the impact.
"""Jonouchi!"""
Under his companions' worried gazes, Jonouchi struggled to his feet.
[Katsuya Jonouchi: LP 3000→1650]
In just three turns, Jonouchi had lost more than half his Life Points.
Rex Raptor set his final card. "I'll set one more card and end my turn."
[Rex Raptor's hand: 1→0]
"What's wrong, Jonouchi? Is that all you've got?"
He spoke with a disappointed look on his face.
"Of course not. It's still far too early to decide who wins between us."
As he spoke, Jonouchi drew a card.
"My turn!"
[Katsuya Jonouchi's hand: 1→2]
After looking at the card he had drawn, Jonouchi put it down and pressed a button on his Duel Disk.
