Chapter 57: Tower of Power Part 2
Taking the stairs, the group found themselves on the second floor, the stairway to the third floor being guarded by The End of Anubis.
"I don't know how you got past the first level, but your journey ends here! Who's brave enough to fall first?"
Syrus stepped up, duel disk at the ready.
"I'll take you on! I just hope I'm not getting in over my head…"
"Alright, get him Syrus!"
GAME ON!
EOA: 8000
Syrus: 8000
"I'll begin. I set one monster face down, and one card face down, Your turn."
"Alright then, I summon Drillroid! A-"
"I activate Threatening Roar! Now you can't declare an attack this turn."
"Fine then, I'll set one card face down and end my turn."
"Is that all? Pathetic! I'll flip over Gravekeeper's Spy, and her effect lets me summon another one from my deck in attack mode. Next, I'll tribute one of them to summon myself, The End of Anubis (2500/0) in attack mode! Now I activate Necrovalley (1200-1700)! Now my doppelganger will attack your drillroid!"
The giant jackal leapt over and slashed the anthropomorphic drill with his massive claws, destroying it easily.
Syrus: 7100
"Now my Spy, attack him directly!"
Syrus braced himself as the weaker spy pounced, punching him hard before retreating.
Syrus: 5400
"Syrus!"
"I'm okay! Don't worry!"
"They shouldn't, but you should. I end my turn there."
"Alright then, let me show you what I can do. First, I activate Soul Exchange! This lets me use your End of Anubis as one of my monsters for a tribute summon, so say goodbye to your copycat and say hello to Freed the Matchless General! Attack his Spy!"
Syrus's general charged forward, slashing the Spellcaster in half with his blade.
EOA: 7400
"I'll end my turn there."
Syrus's opponent grunted in annoyance, not having drawn anything that could help him at the moment.
"I set one monster face down, and activate Stray Lambs to give me two sheep tokens (0/0 X2). I end my turn."
"Then its my turn, so get ready. First, Freed's effect lets me add Kannan the Sword Mistress to my hand instead of a normal draw. Next, I activate Polymerization, fusing her with UFOroid in order to summon UFOroid Fighter (?-2600/?-2600)! Next, I summon Steamroid, and I'll activate my trap card Meteorain! UFOroid Fighter, attack his face down monster!"
The UFO flying fighter flew over, stabbing the face down A Cat of Ill Omen (500/300) with his sword.
EOA: 5100
"Thanks to my Cat's effect, I can add Dimensional Prison from my deck to my hand."
"Too bad it can't save your other monster! Steamroid, Freed, take out his tokens!"
Syrus's other two monsters swooped in and cut the two Sheep in half, making his opponent cringe in pain.
EOA: 500
"Alright, way to go Syrus!"
"I end my turn."
"Grrr, I draw! Come on out, La Jin, The Mystical Genie of Lamp (1800/1000)! Attack his Steamroid (1800-1300)!"
The Genie opened his mouth and let loose a torrent of flames, incinerating the steam train in an instant.
Syrus: 4900
"I'll set two cards face down and end my turn."
The fool probably thinks he has this in the bag. But while he may expect me to have set one Dimensional Prison, I bet he doesn't expect me to have set two!
"I'll begin my turn with Pot of Greed, letting me draw two cards."
I know he has Dimensional Prison set face down, but I don't know what the other card could be. However…
"I'll tribute my UFOroid Fighter and my Freed to summon Armoroid (2700/2000)! And since I sacrificed a Roid monster to summon him, all spell and trap cards on the field get banished!"
"What? No!"
"Afraid so!"
Syrus's new monster began rapidly spinning his robotic arms, creating small tornadoes that swept away all of his opponent's defenses, including the field spell.
"Now Armoroid, attack his La JIn and end this duel!"
The humanoid plane launched one of its arms, punching the Genie so hard that it shattered before continuing towards the duelist, sending him flying into a wall as his life points plummeted.
La Jin: 0000
Seeing that his opponent wasn't moving, Syrus walked over to him.
"He's out cold. Man, these shadow games can really take it out of you!"
"Well, let's get out of here before he wakes up!"
"Right!"
