"Roar—"
The Sand Dragon let out an enraged roar in extreme discomfort. The black earth and gravel beneath it suddenly rose into the air under its control, then shot out all at once after only a brief charge-up.
"Mirror Coat."
Dark gave the command with exceptional calm.
Compared to a Magic Guidance duel where every second counted, this battle's pace was not particularly fast.
Even with the added concern for his own safety, he could still react in time.
"Glaceon!"

A howling roar swept through the air as twice the amount of earth elements surged into the sandstorm.
"Glaceon!"
"Magic Phantom Beast: Glaceon" let out a clear cry.
