Chapter 88: Seal Ordeal, Part 2

________________________________

Paul's life points sat at 1200 while his mystery opponent grew down to 3800. With this guys Orichalcos Seal, it seemed impossible to win.

Paul's opponent drew his next card. "Now! I play Monster Reborn, to bring back Black Magician Girl! (2000/1700 +500 +300)" He announced. "I'll also add this too, Magic Formula! Increasing Black Magician Girl's attack strength by 500! (3300/1700)"

"No!" Paul said.

"Now! Black Magician Girl attack and destroy his Blue Eyes White Dragon!" His opponent yelled. The magician sent a wave of hearts at the dragon, destroying it, and reducing Paul's life points to 900.

His opponent ended his turn and Paul drew his next card. Suddenly he smiled. "Now! I play this, Mesmeric Control! Giving me control over your Black Magician Girl!" Paul announced. "I'll then sacrifice your Black Magician Girl to play this magic card! Twingle Five Star! Giving me my Five Star Kuriboh! (300/200)"

"Err..." The masked person growled as the five kuriboh formed.

"I'll then sacrifice this Trap card from my hand to combined them into Kuriball! (1500/1000)" He yelled as the five Kuriboh formed into one big one. "Now! Kuriball attack his life points directly!"

The giant furball charged into Paul's opponent, sending him flying into the barrier wall. His life points reduced to 2300. "Now! Reverse trap card, Hataki Silence!" He announced. "This trap card forces us to draw 3 cards and remove 2 from our hands."

Everyone did what they needed to do and Paul's opponent ended his turn. Paul drew his next card. "Now! I separate my Kuriball into the Five Star Kuriboh!" Paul yelled as the giant furball turned into many. "I'll then end my turn."

Paul's opponent drew his next card. Suddenly he smiled. "Now face defeat! Because I activate this card, Exchange!" He yelled as his magic card flipped up.

Paul's opponent walked up to Paul and Paul revealed his hand. "Go ahead..." He growled.

"Just as I suspected. Right where I want it." The person said, taking Paul's Kaizer Seahorse. Paul took his Pot of Greed. The mystery opponent walked back to his side of the field and continued his turn. "Now! I summon Kaizer Seahorse! I'll then play this! Magician's Force! Causing you to activate your Pot of Greed!"

Paul growled, placing it on the field. "What good will this do?!" He yelled.

"It'll allow me to use it's effect. Rendering that card useless to you now!" His opponent yelled, drawing two cards. "I'll then summon Kaizer Seahorse! (1700/1650) In defense mode. My turn ends!"

Paul drew his next card. He had no other move so he ended his turn. Paul's opponent drew his next card. "I can't lose...." He said in his mind.

"Now! I sacrifice Kaizer Seahorse to summon this, Vajra! (3400/2700 +500)" Paul's opponent yelled.

"Vajra?!" Paul said in shock.

Suddenly the red armored magician began to arose from the ground with a long sharp staff. "This causes you to discard the top ten cards ontop of your deck!" He yelled. "And it let's me special summon a monster from those ten cards!"

Paul growled as he took his first ten and discarded them into his graveyard. "You still won't be able to get through my Kuriboh! When the Five Star are separated, they cannot be attacked!"

"It doesn't matter because, knowing you, I bet you have a Blue Eyes in there! So, come to me! Blue Eyes White Dragon! (3000/2500 +500)" He yelled as the dragon materialized onto the person's side of the field. Paul growled. His opponent took control of his own beast. This made him angry. "I'll then end my turn. Although I may not attack, I still can get you..."

"Whatever." Paul snapped as he drew his card. "Now! I discard a trap card from my hand to combine the Fie Star into Kuriball! (1500/1000). I'll then summon Black Vorse Raider (1900/600)!"

"No.. I see what he's going to do..." His opponent growled.

"Now! Kuriball, attack his Blue Eyes White Dragon and reduce it's attack strength!" Paul announced. The furball charged at the dragon, knocking a chunk out of it's side, reducing it's attack power to 2000. "Then I play Shrink! Decreasing Blue Eyes by half! (1000/2500) Now! Black Vorse Raider attack and destroy Blue Eyes!"

The warrior leapt up, slashing the dragon into slices, destroying it. Paul's opponent's life points then reduced to 1400.

Suddenly the mystery duelist began to laugh. "With that attack, you left your self on the spot of a losing attack!" He laughed.

"I end my turn." Paul smiled.

"Now! I draw!" He announced.

"Now! Reverse trap card, Moon Face Judge!" Paul yelled, commanding his trap card to activate.

"No!" His opponent gasped.

"And I'm guessing you've drawn... a Magic card..." Paul smiled triumphantly.

"No! He's right..." He gasped as he dropped the card, revealing it to be a magic card.

"That means your turn ends automatically and I can draw!" Paul yelled. Suddenly he felt some sort of wave hit him as he looked at the card he drew. It was the Orichalcos Arrow.

He didn't want to use it but a apart of him told him too. He didn't know what to do. But then he remembered back to what Daniel said.

"I don't care, we should all destroy them. Even if our enemy hates us most. No one deserves to be in a place like that!" Daniel's voice echoed in Paul's head.

"Fine, have it your way..." Paul growled, responding to the voice. "Now! I play this, Orichalcos Arrow!"

Suddenly an angel appeared infront of his opponent, holding a bow and arrow. It readied the arrow and fired at his Field Card Zone, destroying the magic card whole.

The seal broke off on the ground, freeing Paul from the barrier. "No!" The person yelled, feeling the power leave him.

"I'll then play this, Pot of Greed, drawing two cards!" Paul yelled. Suddenly he smiled. "Now! I sacrifice Kuriball to summon Emerald Dragon! (2400/1400) Now... I play this! Oath To The World!"

Suddenly black smoke arose into the office and a black sword began to lower. A warrior materialized and grabbed the sword, slashing it and pointing at his opponent.

"Nameless Warrior...." He said in horror.

"Now! I fuse Nameless Warrior and Emerald Dragon together!" Paul yelled. Suddenly the warrior and Dragon began to fuse together, forming a rock hard emerald sword. "I form the Emerald Dragon Sword! I'll then equip this to Black Vorse Raider! Increasing it's attack points by how much Emerald Dragon had! (4300/600)"

"It still isn't enough to destroy all my life points!" The mystery duelist yelled.

"That's not all Emerald Dragon Sword does, it also clears your field of everything!" Paul yelled. Suddenly the Black Vorse Raider pointed the sword at the duelist, sending a blue wave, destroying his Vajra and face down card. "Now! Black Vorse Raider attack his life points directly!"

The beast warrior dove at the duelist, slashing him with the ultimate sword. The duelist let out a cry, flying into the ground, his life points reducing to zero.

Suddenly the mystery duelist got to his feet and ran off. "I can't believe I lost..." He said, stopping at the spot light of a street light. He took off the coverings of his face. "Man... I thought I could be good enough..."

Paul never knew but this guy he had just dueled, was Kai himself. The moon shined down and Kai walked off in guilt but knew he'd be back. He couldn't help but bare the loss of the duel between not only Paul, but Daniel.
