Chapter 600: If you get crushed in a Duel, a Duelist's career is over.
"Valon, you bastard!" Kujaku Mai looked at Valon with a terrified gaze.
Should he record what he just said and listen to it again? He seemed like a normal person, even though he usually dressed like he was from Anime/Manga and had tried to get close to her more than once. She thought he was at least straight. But now he was saying things like "I feel your heat" and "Give me more" to Joey Wheeler. No matter how you look at it, he's gay! Mai thought, annoyed.
"I don't really get it, but in short, I won't surrender." Joey Wheeler didn't quite understand why Valon suddenly seemed "fired up" or what Kujaku Mai's wary expression was about, but he knew he wasn't very smart and wouldn't force himself to understand things he didn't get. "My Battle Phase ends."
"Then, during Main Phase 2, I Activate the Spell Card Foolish Burial, and Send one Red-Eyes Black Dragon from my Deck to the Graveyard. Next, I Set two cards from my Hand, and End Turn."
[Joey Wheeler: 400 LP, Hand 0]
[Red-Eyes King] [ATK 2400]
[Set Card] X2
It was Valon's Turn. After Drawing a Card from his Deck, he gestured forward: "My Turn, Draw a Card! Then, I Special Summon Mental Helmet Armor from the Graveyard!"
Mental Helmet Armor, which seemed impossible to Destroy, Revived from the Graveyard once again and was Equipped onto Valon's head. However, this time without the highly compatible Support Card, Treasure Card, Valon couldn't Draw extra cards.
In reality, Valon's Deck was also close to its limit. The continuous replenishment of his Hand over the past few Turns hadn't been without cost. Furthermore, Valon had previously used cards like Armor Gravitation, which Special Summoned a large number of monsters from the Deck. Now, Valon's Deck only had about ten cards left.
Holding five cards in his Hand, Valon, who was enjoying his last abundant resources, looked at Joey Wheeler, smiling happily, and said: "Just like a person can't stop their fingernails from growing, a person can't suppress their own instincts."
"I once thought I was someone who yearned for a peaceful life, because long ago, after I lost the things I needed to protect, I decided to live for myself. Even Duels that others saw as passionate and exciting were just obstructions to my peaceful life in my eyes."
"But I was wrong. Just like Pavlov's dog starts drooling when it hears its owner's footsteps returning, my Duel with you has awakened the dormant passion within me, Joey Wheeler!"
Valon smiled exceptionally happily: "It's hard for me not to admit it, I seem to be starting to like you."
"Valon!"
Hearing this increasingly strange conversation, Kujaku Mai couldn't hold back and was about to step forward, even if it meant obstructing the Duel, just to make this pervert shut up. But as Kujaku Mai approached, Valon suddenly Drew a Card from his Hand and placed it in the Field Zone expanded on his Duel Disk.
Before, Valon had felt love for Kujaku Mai because her aura and eyes were very similar to a nun he had known before, and he could even obstruct Doma's actions for her. But during the Duel with Joey Wheeler, Valon realized that nun was ultimately dead, and Kujaku Mai was not that nun.
"Get back, Kujaku Mai! I won't let you obstruct my Duel with Joey Wheeler!"
"Full Heart! Full Power! A Battle to the Death! This is the final festival!"
"Let's Duel to our Heart's content, Joey Wheeler! Activate the Field Spell Card, The Seal of Orichalcos!"
Starting from the emerald stone on Valon's finger, the green aura domain suddenly expanded, perfectly enclosing Joey Wheeler and Valon within it, while Kujaku Mai was a step too slow and was knocked back onto the ground by the expanding domain.
"Joey Wheeler!"
"Mai!"
Seeing that Kujaku Mai was alright through the expanded domain, Joey Wheeler let out a breath of relief, and then observed the domain beneath his feet.
This was Joey Wheeler's first time not watching from outside but entering the domain to battle, and thus it was the first time he felt the power of the The Seal of Orichalcos with his body.
The Duel had been transformed into a Dark Game. Even the Vitality Damage Ability of Valon's Armor Deck, which was enough to kill ordinary people, was merely child's play in the face of such power. A dangerous aura began to fill the air, as if some deadly existence was staring at him.
"Come on, let's continue, Joey Wheeler!" Valon said with a smile, "As an acknowledgement of you, I will Go All Out. Within this The Seal of Orichalcos, we will decide both victory and life and death!"
"But don't worry, no matter the outcome, even if you are killed by me here, your will shall be inherited by me. It doesn't matter if I help you defeat Dartz."
Hearing this, Joey Wheeler looked at the serious Valon and suddenly also showed a smile: "Heh, don't underestimate me, Valon. I won't be defeated by you here. There are still many important people waiting for me."
"This stubbornness... I really do like you very much, Joey Wheeler." Valon smiled and Drew a Card, "Alright then, here I come! Go All Out!"
"Activate the Spell Card, Complete Armor Gravitation! Flip over the top ten cards from my Deck. Special Summon as many Armor Monsters from among them as possible, then Send the remaining cards to the Graveyard."
As he spoke, Valon Drew the top ten cards from his Deck, leaving only a few cards remaining in his Deck. It was clear he was truly going to Go All Out as he said.
Joey Wheeler couldn't help but nervously watch as Valon revealed the cards in his Hand.
Only to see Valon Flip over the cards in his Hand, revealing a Hand full of Monster Cards.
They were all Armor Monsters?!
"The Seal of Orichalcos has the ability to use the Spell & Trap Zone as Monster Zones to place Monster Cards. Therefore, the maximum number of monsters I can Summon on my Field is not four, but nine. Furthermore, all ten cards from the Top of my Deck are Armor Monsters!"
Valon placed the nine cards from his Hand into his Duel Disk, Sent one card to the Graveyard, and said with a loud laugh: "Then, by the Effect of Complete Armor Gravitation, I will Special Summon monsters up to the limit all at once!"
"Armor Time!"
Following Valon's actions, a total of nine Armor Monster pieces manifested around him!
"Beyond the Speed Armor!" "Black Hole Shield Armor!" "Jet Gauntlet Armor!"
"Burst Heart Piercer Armor!" "Destruction Hook Fist Armor!" "Double Cross Gauntlet Armor!"
"High-Level Shield Armor!" "Burning Fierce Fist Armor!" "Trap Burst Armor!"
"Armor Combine!"
"Clang!"
All the armor pieces suddenly gathered and fitted onto Valon's body, causing him to also regain his fully armored stance.
At the same time, the power of the Seal of Orichalcos was engraved on Valon's forehead.
"The Effect of Burst Heart Piercer Armor is, when this card attacks, the Battle Damage I receive becomes 0, and after Damage Calculation, it Destroys the Opponent's Monster, and inflicts 500 effect damage to the opponent."
"And you Know the Effect of Trap Burst Armor, Joey Wheeler." Raising the gauntlet on his right hand, Valon looked at Joey Wheeler with a smile, "So, let me see if your stubbornness can surpass despair, Joey Wheeler!"
"Enter Battle Phase!"
"Attack Red-Eyes King! Attack you, Joey Wheeler!"
"Withered Heart Piercing Attack!"
