Gurimo, the Warrior Duelist, Returns (1)

Previously…

“Who are you?” asked Yami.

“You don’t remember?” asked Gurimo. Perhaps a duel will refresh your memory.

“Very well,” said Yami.

“I’ll start,” said Gurimo. I summon Makyura the Destructor (1600) in Attack Mode. Then, I place 1 card face down and end my turn. (4)

“I play Polymerization, tributing Dark Magician and Buster Blader in my hand to summon Dark Paladin (2900) in Attack Mode.

“I activate my Trap Card, Hidden Soldiers!” said Gurimo. Since you’ve summoned a Monster, I now get to summon a Level-4 Monster from my hand and I choose Command Knight (1900) in Defense Mode. As long as he’s out, he cannot be attacked if another Warrior-Type Monster is on my field and all Warrior-Type Monsters gain 400 ATK points. Command Knight’s ATK rises to 1600.  

“Dark Paladin, destroy Makyura!” said Yami. Makyura is destroyed and Gurimo’s LPs drop to 6700. I set 1 card face down and end my turn. (2) You won’t take my soul without a fight!

“I draw,” said Gurimo. I activate the Seal of Oreichalkos!

“The… what of Oreichalkos?” asked Jaden.

“I see your new comrades haven’t a clue on the seal’s power,” said Gurimo. This card has been around for 10 millennia and with each Monster I summon, or is currently in play, that Monster gains 500 ATK points (and I will show this). There’s a downside in playing this card. No one is allowed to leave the dueling are until a winner is decided and the loser of the duel loses his or her soul.

“This is so not licious,” said Chumley. If Yami loses, his soul is captured!

“Now, back to the duel,” said Gurimo. Command Knight gains 500 ATK points! Command Knight’s ATK rises to 1700. Next, I tribute Command Knight for Silent Swordsman LV5 [2800] in Attack Mode. Then, I play Fusion Sword Murasame Blade, giving the equipped Warrior-Type Monster 800 ATK points and as a bonus, my Spell Card can’t be destroyed by effects that destroy Spell Cards. Silent Swordsman’s ATK rises to 3600. Silent Swordsman, destroy Dark Paladin!

“I activate Magic Cylinder!” said Yami. You now take damage equal to your Monster’s ATK points. Gurimo’s LPs drop to 3100.

“I set 1 card face down and end my turn,” said Gurimo. (1)

“I activate Tribute to the Doomed,” said Yami. This card destroys an opponent’s Monster at a cost of discarding 1 card. Say goodbye to Silent Swordsman LV5! Silent Swordsman and Fusion Sword Murasame Blade are destroyed. Next, I summon Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts (1500) in Attack Mode. Gazelle, attack his LPs directly! Gurimo’s LPs drop to 1600. Finish him off, Dark Paladin! Gurimo’s LPs drop to 0. The Seal shrinks around him and his soul is taken.

“Way to play, Yami,” said Syrus. Suddenly, there’s a scream.

“Alexis!” said Syrus.

“Let’s go find her,” said Jaden. They find her unconscious on the pavement. What did you do to her?

“She lost to a duel with the Seal of Oreichalkos,” said Dartz. The only way I’ll free her is if you defeat me.

“Then get your game on!” said Jaden. I’ll start with Elemental Hero Bubbleman (800) in Attack Mode and thanks to his effect, I draw 2 cards. Next, I throw down a face down and end my turn. (6)

“I summon Oreichalkos Gigas (400) in Attack Mode,” said Dartz. He’s indestructible!
