“Time for me to end this duel!” said Valon. I remove Armed Dragon LV3 and Freezing Beast from play to summon Buster Blader (2600/2300) in Attack Mode. Buster Blader’s ATK rises to 3100 by the Oreichalkos. For every Dragon monster on the field and in me Graveyard, my monster gains 500 ATK points. Buster Blader, destroy his Swift Gaia and end this duel!

            “I activate Spellbinding Circle!” said Yami. Now your Blader can’t attack as long as he is equipped to it.

            “Not bad, mate,” said Valon. That ends my turn.

            “I summon Dark Blade (1800/1500) in Attack Mode,” said Yami. That ends my turn.

            “This duel’s over, mate,” said Valon. I summon Burning Knuckle (0/0) in Attack Mode. Burning Knuckle’s ATK rises to 500 by the Oreichalkos. As you know, my monster gains 200 ATK points for every Armor monster on my side of the field. Burning Knuckle’s ATK rises to 1700. Burning Knuckle, destroy his Swift Gaia!

            “I activate Mirror Force, destroying all monsters on your side of the field in Attack Position. Your Armor Monsters are destroyed!

            “I have to disagree,” said Valon. My Armor Monsters are immune to all Trap Cards as long as Overboost exists on the field. Mirror Force is negated. Now for the fun part, after damage calculation is over, my Burning Knuckle reduces your monster’s ATK to equal mine. Swift Gaia’s ATK drops to 1700. Make your last move.

            “I end my turn,” said Yami.

            “Great,” said Valon. Buster Blader, destroy his Swift Gaia!

            “You’ve activated my Magic Cylinder!” said Yami. This card inflicts the ATK of your monster at our lifepoints. Valon’s lifepoints drop to 0.

            “Impressive duelin’, mate,” said Valon. You’ve beaten me in a duel. Valon collapses as the Seal of Oreichalkos shrinks around him and takes his soul. Back in Dartz’s lair…

            “Young Valon did well, but not as well as we had anticipated,” said Dartz.

            “The Pharaoh won’t win this time,” said Raphael. We can make sure of that. You hear me, Pharaoh, we’ll defeat you once and for all!

            “The battle or Atlantis is about to begin!” said Dartz. Back at the duel, Yami and Yugi walk away from the duel and discuss it.

            “I’m glad that’s over,” said Yugi.

            “Yes, but I fear that something much worse is in store for us,” said Yami.

            “That was the first time we have ever dueled someone with Armor Cards,” said Yugi. Most if not all of the cards Valon contained I’ve never seen before.

            “Neither have I,” said Yami. Shadi mysteriously appears before them.

            “Yugi, it has been quite some time since we last met eye to eye,” said Shadi. I want to see if you’re capable of defeating me in a duel.

            “Let’s find out,” said Yami.

            “I’ll go first,” said Shadi. I summon Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress #1 (1400/1200) in Attack Mode. Then, I set two cards face down and end my turn.

            “I summon Obnoxious Celtic Guard (1400/1200) in Defense Mode,” said Yami. Then, I activate Harpie’s Feather Duster, destroying all Spell and Trap Cards on the field. Shadi’s face down cards are destroyed. That ends my turn.

            “I summon Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts (1500/1200) in Attack Mode,” said Shadi. Winged Dragon, destroy his Celtic Guard! Obnoxious Celtic Guard is destroyed. Gazelle, direct attack! Yami’s lifepoints drop to 6500. Can you do any better?
