Chapter 152: A Risky Deal: Call of The Valkyrie's, Part 2
__________________________________
The score stood at Jin: 2800 and Paul: 2200.
"Let the fun begin." Jin smiled as Goddess Skuld's Oracle's rod began to glow.
Suddenly a giant pink circle surrounded the ring. "What the...." Paul said, after he drew his card.
"By starting your turn, you've activated each of my Goddess' effect. You must now draw three cards and show me!" Jin announced.
Paul drew his three cards. "Fine." Paul growled, showing his three cards, Lava Golem, Attack Nullification, and Shrink.
"Now I can rearrange those three cards. Put Lava Golem as your next card, Attack Nullification, and Shrink as your third."
Paul followed Jin's orders, putting the three cards in his order and placing it on top of his deck. "Fool, Lava Golem is one of my strongest monsters. With Yeild Tribute, it'll be stuck on your field." Paul smiled.
"Now! Goddess Belldandy's Guardian will activate!" Jin commanded. "It's effect allows me to guess the top of your card. If I'm right it will be summoned in reversed defense position"
"So." Paul smirked.
"Goddess Belldandy's Guardian will tell." Jin smiled as the top of Paul's deck glowed, revealing Lava Golem. Suddenly Lava Golem materialized, face down in defense mode on his field.
"You realized that you've summoned one of my most powerful monsters onto the field." Paul smiled.
"Yeah, I kind of noticed." Jin smirked.
"What the..." Paul thought. "He seems too confident."
"Now! Goddess Urd's Altar will activate! Once I guess the correct name of your face down defense monster, it will be removed from play!" Jin yelled. "And since you've showed me your hand, your monster is Lava Golem!"
Suddenly the giant golem materialized. "But instead, I'll activate this trap card, Arch of Hope!" Jin announced.
Suddenly a giant altar appeared in the sky with stairs leading up to it. Two long white cloths seeped through the altar, pulling Lava Golem through.
"What is that?!" Paul said in shock.
"The Arch of Hope will reduce the monster's levels, in my hand, by one level for each monster removed from play!." Jin smiled.
"Wow, Jin has a great deck destroyer." Allen said, amazed.
"Be glad you didn't go up to that. You were stuck with a toy deck." Jess laughed.
"Shut up!" Allen yelled, embarrassed.
Paul smiled. "Well, you've may have destroyed one monster but I have plenty in my hands!" Paul smiled. "Now I activate Pot of Greed!"
Jin smirked, watching Paul draw 2 cards. "This duel is way over. You don't stand a chance against my goddess'" Jin smirked.
"Now! I'll sacrifice Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon and Devil Franken so I can summon Dragon Lancet! (1900/1300)" Paul announced as the dragon materialized onto the field. "I'll then activate Yield Tribute to special summon Twilight Zone Dragon (1200/1500), in defense mode!"
Jin smiled. "Done yet? Or are you just going to increase your defenses for nothing?" Jin smirked.
"He's only toying with me but I can beat his guardians." Paul smirked. "I'll set a card and end my turn!"
Jin drew his next card. "Now! I summon Valkyrie Sovite! (1600/1600)" Jin announced as the warrior ontop of the horse charged into view.
"A another valkyrie monster!" Daniel pointed out.
"You actually know something about this?" Jess yelled from the behind. Daniel turned around to see her.
"Yes, I've heard many things about them but never seen them in play. They may be weak but have secret powers." Daniel said, concerned.
"Valkyrie Sovite allows me to destroy a monster on your field! So say bye to Twilight Zone Dragon!" Jin smiled as Paul's dragon exploded.
"Damn..." Paul growled.
"I'll set a card face down and end my turn." Jin announced.
Paul drew his next card, triggering another pink ring surrounding the two duelist. "Looks like it's time to ruin your deck once again." Jin smiled.
"I already knew what card I was gonna draw, Attack Nullification. This can come in handy if he decides to attack." Paul thought, placing Attack Nullification in his hand and drawing his three cards. "There!"
Jin looked at the three cards. They were Shrink, the second Blue Eyes White Dragon, and Raise Dead.
"Now! Put Blue Eyes White Dragon on top, Shrink, and Raise Dead as your last card!" Jin commanded. "Now Goddess Belldandy's effect will be activated! Your Blue Eyes White Dragon will be summoned!"
The monster card then materialized on the field in face down defense mode, just as Lava Golem did.
"Damn it. I won't have any more monsters to summon." Paul growled.
"Now! Goddess Urd's Altar will remove it, thus activating Arch of Hope" Jin announced as the white scarf's pulled in Blue Eyes White Dragon. "Now I can summon more stronger monsters without tribute."
Paul growled. "Now! I activate Dragon Lancet's effect! I can take away 500 of Valkyrie Sovite's attack points (1100/1600) and add 500 into Dragon Lancet's attack and defense points! (2400/2300)" Paul announced as a blue essence seeped out of Valkyrie Sovite and into Dragon Lancet.
"Now! Dragon Lancet! Attack and destroy his Valkyrie!" Paul announced.
The dragon formed three blue orbs, each conducting electricity and firing it at the Valkyrie, destroying it. Jin covered himself as is life points reduced to 1600.
"Heh." Jin smirked.
"This duel is almost over! Your Goddess has nothing to do with winning this duel!" Paul yelled.
"Oh yeah?" Jin smirked.
"Yeah! I'll set a card face down and end my turn." Paul announced.
Jin drew his next card. "Now! Because I've removed two monsters from your deck. I am allowed to summon this wonderful monster..." Jin smiled evilly.
"What could it be..." Paul growled.
"Now! I bring forth your demise!" Jin announced. "I now summon... Valkyrie Brunhilde! (1800/1200 +900)"
"What?! 900 points extra!" Paul said in shock as the blue haired valkyrie came in on her horse, wielding a shield and sword in her hands and in armor.
"Yes! Valkyrie Brunhilde gains 300 attack points for every warrior and dragon monster on the field. Including itself" Jin smiled. "But I'll now activate this, Valkyrie's Embrace! This will seal your fate!"
"No!" Daniel yelled in shock.
"By shifting Valkyrie Sovite into defense mode, I may remove your Dragon Lancet from play!" Jin smiled as Valkyrie Sovite rose her shield, protecting herself.
"No! That leaves Paul's life points open!" Devon gasped.
"Now! Prepare to lose everything!" Jin yelled. "Valkyrie Brunhilde! Attack his life points directly and win me this duel!"
Paul stood there, in total shock to see his life fall apart infront of his eyes by just a game. The valkyrie commanded the horse to charge, which it did. The horse trampled passed Paul and the valkyrie struck him with her sword.
Paul let out a wail, falling to the ground as his life points reduced to 0. Everyone cheered but some booed. Paul was a major hero for the crowds and Jin took not only his title, but his career and life that was ahead of him.
Daniel grew angry. "Looks like I win! But let's remember the deal we made." Jin smiled. "Now I rule Duel Monsters!"
"Wrong!" Daniel yelled from behind Paul.
"Oh?" Jin smirked.
"Last time I checked we still have a tournament to finish." Daniel said, stepping up.
"He's right." Pegasus said, shrugging.
"Forget it. I resign myself from this area. You are nothing but a bunch of kids." Jin smirked.
"Last time I heard, you wanted to be King of Games. Are you too coward to keep your word?" Daniel said as the Millennium Puzzle began to glow of his friendship and courage
Jin looked at him sternly. "Fine I'll finish you off like I did with Paul." Jin smirked.
"I'd like to make a wager first." Daniel said, looking back at Paul who was in deep trauma.
"Fine. Name your price." Jin said.
"I need no money for this. If I win, you hand over Paul's company and everything he waged back to him! You will then leave this area and never bother Paul again!" Daniel yelled.
As Daniel's words filled the arena, people cheered, knowing that Daniel's confidence will defeat Jin's sinister plans.
"The crowd loves you." Jin smiled.
"They don't. They are here to ensure that I bring you down!" Daniel said as his Duel Xero folded out. "This game isn't over until one man stands! Your don't deserve the right to be called a duelist! All you care about is your filthy company!"
"May I remind you that I've beaten the champion of Duel monsters. It won't be hard to defeat you." Jin smiled.
"Just because you have good cards doesn't mean you are a good duelist. You must feel confidence and feel the presence around you. Not just draw cards and play them." Daniel growled. "Now let's duel!"
"Fine!" Jin yelled, pressing the reset button on his Duel Xero which reshuffled his cards together into his deck and forming a new game.
"Duel!" They both yelled as their life points rose up to 4000.
"Wow, do you think Dan can beat him?" Mink asked to Devon.
"We'll have to watch." Devon said, having no other answer.
