"Ara Mitama!"
Following Dartz's wave of his hand, the attacking arm of the Orichalcos Gigas, Orichalcos Right Arm, lifted and aimed towards the True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. A green beam of light, without any charging process, instantly shot out from its palm, striking towards Yugi!
At this moment, the ATK of Orichalcos Right Arm also began to change from "?".
[Orichalcos Right Arm] [ATK? → 4800]
The effect that only increases its ATK by 300 points higher than the attacking monster's battle position during the damage step is truly annoying. This is because it means even if Yugi sets cards on his Spell & Trap Zone that increase ATK or DEF, the final result will only be the ATK increase being calculated first, and then Orichalcos Right Arm's ATK will change, always remaining higher.
Furthermore, Orichalcos Right Arm also possesses destruction resistance, meaning cards like Sakuretsu Armor won't have any use against it, not to mention the ability granted by Orichalcos Tritos to be unaffected by opponent's effects.
How do you even describe this level of invincibility?
Watching Orichalcos Right Arm's attack rush towards him, Yugi calmly pressed the button to activate his Set card: "At this instant, I activate a Trap Card!"
At this point, someone might ask, "Oh, Yugi, the opponent's monster is unaffected by your card effects, and strengthening your monster will only make the opponent stronger. Activating a Trap Card is useless."
While that statement is correct, coincidentally, Yugi just happened to have a card with meaning unknown in his Deck and it just happened to be useful in this situation.
"Trap Card, Altar of Sacrifice! By sending the True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon on my Field to the Graveyard, I recover Life Points equal to its original ATK value!" Yugi, with a clear conscience, sent the True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon into the Graveyard.
That's right. Although Yugi's cards are ineffective against Dartz's monster, they are effective against the True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon on Yugi's Field. The premise for Orichalcos Right Arm's ATK to change is battle with a monster. As long as there is no monster on Yugi's Field, then he doesn't need to fear that monster.
Under Kaiba's rather grim gaze, the True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon was sent to the Graveyard by Yugi, and Yugi's Life Points increased accordingly.
[Yugi: 4000 → 8500 LP]
Because the disappearance of the attack target monster triggered attack replay, Orichalcos Right Arm lowered its arm, and Dartz did not let the right arm continue its attack. Looking at Yugi's increased Life Points and empty Field, Dartz instead laughed.
"What a foolish choice, Nameless Pharaoh. Did you not consider the consequences of having no monster on the Field?" Dartz sneered coldly, pointing directly at Yugi, "Next is the direct attack of Orichalcos Gigas!"
"Kuriboh!"
A green ring released by Orichalcos Gigas, like the guillotine of a certain director from the Country of Light's meat processing plant, rushed straight towards Yugi as if to cut him in half at the waist. But before that attack could fully reach him, a monster popped out from Yugi's Hand and blocked the attack.
Kuriboh! Kuriboh jumped out on its own!
"You saved me again, Kuriboh." Yugi smiled, sending the Kuriboh in his Hand to the Graveyard. Kaiba beside him had an 'as expected' expression.
Kaiba was already somewhat used to it. After all, whenever Yugi's opponent summoned a monster with extremely high ATK, he could always keep a Kuriboh in his Hand. This time, he was not mistaken either.
"By discarding Kuriboh from my Hand, I make the battle damage I would take from Orichalcos Gigas 0." Looking at the annoyed Dartz, Yugi taunted, "Wasn't this supposed to be the time of judgment for me? Yet, after this turn, you couldn't even deduct a single Life Point from me, Dartz."
"Hmph, don't be so proud, Nameless Pharaoh. You are merely clinging to life." Dartz frowned, then said confidently, "Consider yourself lucky to have escaped this time. In any case, Orichalcos Gigas is still on my Field. You will not be able to surpass this trial of destiny!"
"There is only one way to destroy Orichalcos Gigas, and that is to reduce its ATK to 0. At that time, Orichalcos Gigas will self-destruct. This means you just wasted an opportunity to decrease its ATK by 4500 points."
"Next turn is Joey Wheeler, right? Since I've temporarily let you escape, you can watch your Companions be eliminated one by one from the side."
Saying this, Dartz set a card from his Hand in his Spell & Trap Zone: "Set a card. Then I activate the effect of Field Spell Card Orichalcos Tritos, which it inherits from Orichalcos Deuteros."
"I have three monsters on my Field. I recover 1500 Life Points. Then I end my turn."
[Dartz: 10100 → 11600 LP, Hand 0]
[Orichalcos Left Arm] [DEF?]
[Orichalcos Right Arm] [ATK?]
(Spell & Trap Zone) [Orichalcos Gigas] [ATK 14500]
[Set Card]
(Field) [Seal of Orichalcos] [Orichalcos Deuteros] [Orichalcos Tritos]
Yugi stepped back, yielding the Field to Joey Wheeler.
"My turn," Although facing the powerful Orichalcos Gigas with only one Set Card left by Yugi on his Field, Joey Wheeler showed no fear on his face, shouting with full fighting spirit, "Draw!"
Looking around the Field, Joey Wheeler's hand size was unexpectedly the largest, with three cards remaining after his draw. However, cards in Hand are only resources if they are played.
"Talking about 'Destiny' and 'Trial', who understands that stuff? Watch Yours Truly's strong and powerful Duel and I'll defeat you!" Saying this, Joey Wheeler played a card from his Hand, "Magic Card, Card of Fate!"
"Roll a die, draw cards from the Top of Deck equal to the points rolled, then banish the same quantity of cards from the Top of Deck!"
As the saying goes, powerful cards often come with great risk. This is true for Graceful Charity, Card of Demise, and now this Card of Fate. The more cards you draw, the more cards you have to banish. What terrifying stakes (said flatly).
Well, let's just pretend to believe that. Although compared to the other two Treasure Cards that provide stable hand replenishment, Card of Fate seems to rely on a luck-based means like a dice roll to determine how many cards to draw, it is well-known that Joey Wheeler's most outstanding trait, besides his astonishing willpower, is his luck, which seems to be favored by the Goddess of Fortune.
A die that appeared out of thin air on the Ground gradually stopped rolling, revealing a number that made Dartz's eyebrows twitch violently—the maximum value, 6!
"Yatta ze! So, because of Card of Fate's effect, I can draw six cards in one go, but I also have to banish six cards as a result." Joey Wheeler said, drawing six cards from his Deck and then banishing six cards.
Looking at his perfect Hand, which had increased to a full eight cards, Joey Wheeler felt he had a great advantage.
"Activate Magic Card Dragon's Mirror! Using Red-Eyes Archfiend of Lightning and Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon from my Graveyard as Fusion Material, I banish them from my Graveyard," Joey Wheeler added, taking out and displaying the two cards from his Graveyard, "As Gemini Monsters, these two monsters are treated as Normal Monsters while in the Graveyard!"
"Fusion Material are a Level 6 ☆ Fiend Normal Monster and a Red-Eyes Normal Monster! Lightning and black flame mix and interweave, creating something called hope and courage! Descend!"
"Fusion Summon! Archfiend Black Skull Dragon!"
Using monsters from the Graveyard as Fusion Material, on Joey Wheeler's Field, a giant dragon, tall as a Demon God, descended and manifested.
[Archfiend Black Skull Dragon] [ATK 3200]
"It can crush Spell/Trap/Monster Effect activations in battle? Heh, but it's useless. The ability of Orichalcos Left Arm to attract attacks when on the Field doesn't need to be activated, and its DEF increasing effect is also continuous."
Dartz didn't pay too much attention to the Archfiend Black Skull Dragon Joey Wheeler summoned. After all, even True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon was no match for Orichalcos Gigas's towering 14500 ATK, let alone Archfiend Black Skull Dragon, which was even weaker than True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon.
"Heh heh, then you better watch closely, Dartz. I'll show you my full power!" Joey Wheeler said, drawing two more cards from his Hand, "A mere 14500 ATK? I'll surpass it and show you! Activate this card, The Claw of Hermos!"
"Send Red-Eyes Black Dragon from my Hand to the Graveyard! Cooperate with the Legendary Dragon to display a brand new stance and pioneer a path to the Future and victory for me!"
From behind Joey Wheeler, the phantom of Red-Eyes Black Dragon appeared, overlapping with the figure of The Claw of Hermos flying from his Hand. The two dragons danced together in the air, and a strange radiance bloomed at this moment.
Dartz looked at the strange phenomenon in the air. His previously relaxed expression became serious. He looked at the flying dragon in the air with dissatisfaction and muttered in a low voice, "We meet again after ten thousand years, 'Legendary Dragon', but not in your complete stance? Heh heh, in that form, you can't possibly be my opponent..."
Not long after, the power of The Claw of Hermos and Red-Eyes Black Dragon completed their fusion. A firelight fell downwards, landing in the Hand of Archfiend Black Skull Dragon. The huge dark dragon gripped the pillar of fire in front of it with its strong arm. The lightning and black flames on its body surged into it, causing the weapon in its Hand to radiate light.
[Red-Eyes Black Dragon Sword] [7☆/Dark]
[Dragon Type/Fusion/Effect]
[2400/2000]
"This is the new stance of Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Red-Eyes Black Dragon Sword! When it is Special Summoned successfully, I can equip it as an Equip Card to Archfiend Black Skull Dragon on my Field, increasing its ATK by 1000 points!"
[Archfiend Black Skull Dragon] [ATK 3200 → 4200]
But this wasn't the end. Only to see Archfiend Black Skull Dragon raise the Black Dragon Sword in its Hand over its head. Beside the long sword wrapped in black flames, the phantoms of several monsters appeared one after another.
Red-Eyes Meteor Dragon, Red-Eyes Black Metal Dragon, Black Metal Dragon, Meteor Black Comet Dragon, White Spirit Dragon, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Red-Eyes Black Dragon!
A total of ten Dragon-Type monsters, continuously sent to the Graveyard by Joey Wheeler and Kaiba in the previous turns, all floated beside Red-Eyes Black Dragon Sword and poured their power into it like crazy!
[Archfiend Black Skull Dragon] [4200/2500 → 9200/7500]
"The Claw of Hermos has granted Red-Eyes Black Dragon Sword the ability to inherit the power of its partners! The power of the monsters who sacrificed themselves in the previous battles now gathers on my Field! Every Dragon-Type monster in Both Fields and Graveyards will increase Archfiend Black Skull Dragon's ATK/DEF by 500 points!"
"Hmph, even so, what of it?" Dartz said contemptuously, "In terms of ATK, my Orichalcos Gigas's ATK is still higher."
Hearing this, Joey Wheeler smiled confidently: "Sore wa dou kana!"
"Proceed to the battle phase! Then use Archfiend Black Skull Dragon to attack Orichalcos Left Arm!"
"Hmph, seeking your own demise, Katsuya Jounouchi?" Dartz sneered, "Muda da! Orichalcos Left Arm's DEF will always be 300 points higher than your monster's ATK!"
"Accept your attack, and then counter!"
Saying this, Orichalcos Left Arm also slowly lifted under Dartz's control, raising a layer of domain, preparing to accept Archfiend Black Skull Dragon's attack.
Meanwhile, Joey Wheeler chuckled.
"At this instant, I activate this card from my Hand! Quick-Play Spell Card集中插座(Shūzhōng Chāzuò) [Concentrate]!" Saying this, Joey Wheeler inserted a card into the Spell & Trap Zone, "As stakes for only Archfiend Black Skull Dragon being able to declare an attack this turn, I increase Archfiend Black Skull Dragon's ATK by its DEF value!"
"Nani?"
Hearing this, Dartz couldn't help but show a surprised expression: "Archfiend Black Skull Dragon's DEF is, 7500 points!?"
[Archfiend Black Skull Dragon] [ATK 9200 → 16700]
Overflowing lightning surged! Archfiend Black Skull Dragon gripped the sword with both hands and swung a slash wrapped in lightning and black flames!
[Orichalcos Left Arm] [DEF? → 17000]
As the slash landed on the domain, Orichalcos Left Arm's DEF surged to a full 17000 points. Although Archfiend Black Skull Dragon still failed to break through the defense of the monster before it, Joey Wheeler showed a proud smile.
[Joey Wheeler: 4000 → 3700 LP]
"Dartz, you just said that the sole method to destroy Orichalcos Gigas is to make its ATK 0 due to its own effect, right?"
Taking 300 points of counter damage, Joey Wheeler couldn't help but take a deep breath due to the domain under his feet turning the duel into a dark game, but his face still held a resolute expression, "At the end of the damage calculation step between Orichalcos Left Arm and a monster, decrease Orichalcos Gigas by the value corresponding to the battle monster's battle position."
"Hmph, 14500 ATK looks like it's terrifying, but after decreasing by 16700 points, it still has to go to zero." Kaiba said with a cold laugh, arms crossed over his chest, "How you've lost face, Dartz, getting crushed by a Commoner in one turn."
Yugi pointed his finger at the Orichalcos Gigas in Dartz's Spell & Trap Zone, whose body was gradually cracking, and said, "Because its ATK is zero, Dartz,"
"Orichalcos Gigas is destroyed here!"
[Orichalcos Gigas] [ATK 14500 → 0]
"Boom!"
(End of Chapter)
Following Dartz's wave of his hand, the attacking arm of the Orichalcos Gigas, Orichalcos Right Arm, lifted and aimed towards the True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. A green beam of light, without any charging process, instantly shot out from its palm, striking towards Yugi!
