Chapter 58: 1 for 5 and 5 for 1
"Set one card face-down."
Valon stared at the enormous light-dragon monster beside Yu Miao, radiating galaxy particles.
— Impressive, there's such a beautiful dragon in the dueling world. Feels even stronger than Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
"Damn it, my Armor monsters are the strongest." Valon raised his Duel Disk, as if cheering himself on:
"Let me crush your Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon this turn."
Facing Valon's fervor, Yu Miao revealed his signature smile, kind yet carrying a hint of cruelty:
"Good. I hope your skill is as tough as your mouth."
Valon trembled with anger. Ever since becoming a member of Doma, he had never been looked down upon like this.
"Draw!" Valon could only channel his rage into his hand and draw.
Yu Miao narrowed his eyes, sensing a "heatwave" around Baron.
This draw of his... seems like he got something good.
Valon looked delighted, revealing the Spell Card he drew and activating it:
"Excellent, activate the Spell Card, Full Armor Gravitation."
"This Spell Card's effect: Check the top 10 cards of your Deck in sequence. As you check them, Special Summon as many 'Armor' monsters as possible from among them to your field. Cards that are not Summoned are removed from play."
Hearing this outrageously broken effect, Yu Miao's expression turned complicated. Only in the anime could something so ridiculously fake exist.
What the hell does 'check 10 cards' mean, and then you get free Special Summons to your field?
Checking begins!
The top 10 cards of Valon's Deck are revealed. Among them, 5 are monsters with the "Armor" archetype, which are successively Special Summoned to the field. The rest are all banished.
[Psychic Armor Head, 0 ATK, Machine]
[Advance Shield - Armor, 1000 ATK, Machine]
[Jet Gauntlet - Armor, 0 ATK, Machine]
[Big Bang Blow, 0 ATK, Machine]
[Trap Buster, 0 ATK, Machine]
In an instant, Valon achieved a 1-for-5.
Using just 1 card to cheat out 5 monster cards.
Valon adjusted the goggles on his forehead, saying smugly:
"Hehehe, scared by my Armor monsters, aren't you?"
"Only one Armor monster can attack, but when an Armor monster is attacked, I can decide which monster becomes the attack target."
Now!
Valon's chuunibyou soul begins to erupt.
"Armor transformation, combine!"
Bang bang bang bang~
In an instant, Valon's body was equipped with various steel armor devices.
Now a "Power Ranger" armored warrior, Valon looked at Yu Miao and said: "Well? Beg for mercy now, and I might go a little easier on you later."
Faced with such meaningless talk, Yu Miao voiced his dissatisfaction: "Is that all?"
These two simple words sent Valon into a rage.
Entering the Battle Phase!!
Valon chooses for "Jet Gauntlet" to attack. At this moment, this armor's effect activates!
[Jet Gauntlet: When this card battles: Destroy both battling monsters, and no battle damage is calculated.]
"No matter how strong that Galaxy-Eyes monster is, it's getting destroyed now!" Baron leaped into the air, throwing a punch at Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon.
However.
Before Valon could be happy for more than a few seconds.
He discovered Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon was radiating dazzling particle light from its entire body.
"Foolish. During the Battle Step: You can target 1 monster your opponent controls that is battling; banish both that opponent's monster and this card from the field."
Galaxy Exile!!
Boom~
Just like that, Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon and Baron's [Jet Gauntlet] were both banished beyond dimensions.
Since Valon's Armor monsters can only have one attack, he was completely dumbfounded.
"Doesn't this mean every time I attack with an Armor monster, it'll get banished along with Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon..."
"So as long as Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon exists, I can never touch you?"
Valon slowly pieced together the trick here.
Despicable. So utterly despicable.
This damn Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon, can't it be straightforward like Blue-Eyes White Dragon?
Valon looked up to see Yu Miao staring at him with an inscrutable look. He hated that look.
"Set 1 card, end my turn."
At the end of the turn, light shone on both sides of the field.
Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon and Valon's Armor monster returned from another dimension.
[Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon, 3000 ATK, Dragon]
[Jet Gauntlet - Armor, 0 ATK, Machine]
Yu Miao drew a card. Looking at a Spell Card in his hand, he almost couldn't hold back a laugh.
"Entering Battle Phase." Yu Miao had Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon attack Baron.
As for which Armor monster to attack, it didn't matter because Baron's Armor monsters can choose one to take the attack.
Simply put, it's a bit like "taunt" in games.
"Aha, you fell for it. I choose my Big Bang Punch - Armor on the field to be the attack target."
Zzz~
The armor on Valon's body separated. The Armor monster with bombs strapped to its front blocked the way, about to take Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon's attack.
"When this Big Bang Blow is destroyed by battle, it destroys all monsters on the field, then inflicts damage to both players equal to the combined ATK of all destroyed monsters." Baron looked ecstatic because most Armor monsters have 0 ATK, so at most he'd only take 1000 effect damage from Boost Shield - Armor's ATK.
But with Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon's destruction, Yu Miao would take 3000 points of damage.
Valon was willing to trade 5 for 1 to bury this despicable Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon.
Then, Yu Miao's next sentence shattered his defenses.
"Activate Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon's effect, Galaxy Exile!!"
Galactic particles scattered, instantly filling both sides of the field with a starry brilliance...
Then Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon and Big Bang Punch - Armor were banished together beyond dimensions.
"Sorry about that. Before your Big Bang Blow gets destroyed by battle, I exiled them both first." Yu Miao explained with a smile.
Exile. Despair-inducing.
Valon stood in place, howling impotently:
"You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?"
"This damn Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon, dare you not activate its effect?"
"If you're a real duelist, fight me head-on fairly and squarely."
Yu Miao looked at Valon, tilting his head as he asked:
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
"I'm here to duel, not to fight."
"A true duel is about making your opponent unable to duel!"
Just because Joey was willing to have a hot-blooded fight with Valon doesn't mean Yu Miao is.
At this moment.
Dartz observed this duel. He felt this Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon perfectly countered Valon's Armor monsters.
He always felt Yu Miao seemed to be hiding some trick, perhaps waiting for Valon to step right into it.
