# Chapter 594: That Homo-Specific Logic: Nine is Greater Than Ten
Honestly, even Joey Wheeler could somewhat guess what Valon's Set Card was at this moment.
After all, first there was the Treasure Card of Rebirth, which could only be activated when a monster was Special Summoned from the Graveyard, and then there was Foolish Burial, which actively sent a monster from the Deck to the Graveyard. No matter how you looked at it, one of Valon's two Set Cards definitely had the ability to Special Summon a Card from the Graveyard.
But, it didn't matter.
Unlike before, our boy Joey Wheeler's Hand now, after being replaced, was ten times or even nine times stronger than before!
"My Turn, Draw a Card!"
"Next is the Spell Card, Red-Eyes Insight! By Sending Red-Eyes Wyvern from my Deck to the Graveyard to Activate it, I can Add to Hand one Red-Eyes Spell/Trap Card other than Red-Eyes Insight from my Deck. I choose Red-Eyes Fusion!"
"Then, I Activate it!"
The Fusion Spell Card exclusive to the Red-Eyes Deck was Activated by Joey Wheeler, and a red Vortex appeared on his Field.
"Unlike most Fusions that result in Card Disadvantage, Red-Eyes Fusion has the Ability to choose Fusion Materials from the Deck. However, Powerful Cards often come with great Risk. The Turn I Activate Red-Eyes Fusion, I cannot perform any other Summons or Special Summons besides this one."
While Searching for the two Monsters to be used for the Fusion from his Deck and Sending them to the Graveyard, Joey Wheeler shouted, "The Fusion Materials are Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Level 7☆, and the Dragon-Type Monster, Meteor Dragon, Level 6☆!"
"If Blue-Eyes is the White Dragon that brings Victory, then Red-Eyes is the Black Dragon that Calls forth Miracles! O black flames of the meteor from beyond the heavens, descend now!"
"Fusion Summon, Meteor Black Comet Dragon!"
As Joey Wheeler's two Monsters were sent into the spinning Vortex, the entrance opened by Red-Eyes Fusion closed, and a beam of red-black light shot into the sky.
Immediately after, a Meteor fell from the sky, hurtling straight towards Joey Wheeler's Field!
"Boom!"
The Ground trembled, and the air heated by the high temperature vibrated. The falling "Meteor" spread a pair of pitch-black Giant Dragon Wings. Magma-like high-temperature dragon blood flowed through the veins of the Dragon Wings, revealing a scarlet color. It was clearly a Giant Dragon!
Meteor Black Comet Dragon [8☆/DARK Attribute]
[Dragon Type/Fusion/Effect]
[3500 ATK/2000 DEF]
Not only that, but Valon also discovered that besides the Giant Dragon before him, which looked like a FIRE Attribute but was somehow a DARK Attribute, there was also a falling rock heading towards him!
"Ugh!"
[Valon: 4000 → 2600 LP]
After being hit by the Meteor, Valon's Life Points, which were originally full, were instantly Decreased by a full 1400 Points!
"When Meteor Black Comet Dragon is Fusion Summoned successfully, I can Activate its Effect! I Send one Red-Eyes Monster from my Deck to the Graveyard, and then inflict Effect Damage to the Opponent Duelist equal to half of that Monster's Original Attack Value." Joey Wheeler showed a Card in his Hand. "The Card I Send to the Graveyard is Red-Eyes Black Metal Dragon. Its ATK is 2800 Points."
"1400 Points of Effect Damage, huh? Even outside of a Dark Game, it can still be this scorching. Even I was almost burned." Valon said, patting his chest to extinguish a wisp of Flames.
Even though neither side's Battle Phase had begun yet, his Life Points had been Reduced by one-third. For a normal Duelist, this would basically be a huge disadvantage, but Valon still looked completely confident.
Although Joey Wheeler hadn't performed a Normal Summon this Turn, the restriction of Red-Eyes Fusion had already takes effect, so he couldn't perform a Normal Summon even if he had a Monster in his Hand that could be Normal Summoned. However, despite Summoning Meteor Black Comet Dragon, which had 500 more ATK than Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Joey Wheeler still had a full five Cards left in his Hand.
And at the same time, he had even already sent a cumulative five Monster Cards to the Graveyard.
"Activate Spell Card, Pot of Avarice! I return five Monster Cards from my Graveyard—two Red-Eyes Black Dragons, Meteor Dragon, Red-Eyes Black Metal Dragon, and Red-Eyes Wyvern—to my Deck and Shuffle it, then draw two cards from my Deck."
"A second Red-Eyes Black Dragon?" Valon was a little puzzled about when Joey Wheeler's second Red-Eyes Black Dragon was sent to the Graveyard, but as he thought back, he remembered the five Cards Joey Wheeler had sent to the Graveyard by Card Destruction earlier. "I see, it was at that time."
"Draw a Card!" After shuffling, Joey Wheeler drew two cards, looked at the cards he drew, and took out one of them. "Yosh, I'll activate the Equip Spell Card I just drew, Meteor Flare! This Card can Grant the Monster on my Field the Ability to inflict Piercing Damage!"
"Meteor Black Comet Dragon equipped with Meteor Flare has 3500 ATK, while the Mental Armor on your Field only has 500 DEF!"
Joey Wheeler said confidently, "It looks like the goddess of Victory is on my side, Valon!"
"Enter Battle Phase! Then, Meteor Black Comet Dragon, Attack Mental Armor!"
"Blasted to Death! Joey Wheeler's Black Flame Meteor!"
"What kind of Strange name is that!"
Amidst Valon's retort, Meteor Black Comet Dragon flapped its Wings, soared into the sky in a burst of Firelight, and from high above, spat a magma shot from its mouth at the Valon below.
If the magma shot, wrapped in black Flames, were to hit the Mental Armor equipped to Valon's head, Clearing his remaining 2600 Life Points would be effortless!
Under Joey Wheeler's wary Gaze, Valon naturally didn't sit back and wait. Instead, he activated the Card in his Spell/Trap Zone. However, what he Activated wasn't the Card Joey Wheeler had expected to Revive a Monster from the Graveyard, but Nutrient Z!?
"This Battle by Meteor Black Comet Dragon will inflict over 2000 Points of Battle Damage to me, which satisfies this Card's Activation Condition. Before that Damage is inflicted, the Effect of Nutrient Z takes effect!"
"My Life Points recover 4000 Points!"
[Valon: 2600 → 6600 LP]
"Nani?!"
Joey Wheeler watched wide-eyed as Valon's Life Points instantly recovered so much. Meteor Black Comet Dragon's Attack, which should have been a fatal blow, landed without any weakening, Destroying the Mental Armor on Valon's head.
"Well well, a strong and powerful Attack, Katsuya Jounouchi. But declaring Victory so early is a bit too arrogant, isn't it?" With the Helmet broken and gone, Valon revealed a confident Smile. "Is your so-called 'Blasted to Death' an Attack that doesn't even count as a massage? In the end, all you did in one Turn was Reduce my mere 400 Life Points."
"It's just a Pity it dirtied this custom-made shirt of mine that cost twenty thousand dollars."
Joey Wheeler's Gaze instantly became very Annoyed: "Tsk, why are you guys always so rich?"
"I Set two Cards. I end my turn."
[Joey Wheeler: 4000 LP, Hand 3]
[Meteor Black Comet Dragon (Meteor Flare)] [3500 ATK]
