Raphael's Guardians of Darkness (Part 4)

Previously on Yu-Gi-Oh…

"First, I pay 2000 lifepoints to keep Mirror Wall in play," said Raphael. Raphael's lifepoints drop to 2000. Next, I sacrifice Celtic Guardian and Guardian of the Labyrinth to summon Guardian Angel Joan (2800/2000) in Attack Mode. Guardian Angel Joan's ATK rises to 3300 by the Oreichalkos. Then, I set one card face down and end my turn.

"All right," said Yami. I summon Feral Imp (1300/1400) in Defense Mode. Then I set one card face down and end my turn.

"I won't pay for Mirror Wall," said Raphael. Mirror Wall is destroyed. Guardian Angel Joan, destroy his Feral Imp!

"Activate Spellbinding Circle!" said Yami. This card prevents your monster from attacking.

"Activate Trap Jammer!" said Raphael. This card negates any trap card that is used during battle so your Spellbinding Circle is useless. Guardian Angel Joan, destroy his Feral Imp, now! Feral Imp is destroyed and Raphael's lifepoints rise to 3300.

"How is it that you gained lifepoints, Raphael?" asked Yami.

"Simple," said Raphael. My monster's special ability allows me to gain the ATK points that my Guardian destroys. I set one card face down and activate Call of the Haunted, which lets me revive a monster from my Graveyard and summon it to the field. Return my Celtic Guardian (1400/1200)! Celtic Guardian's ATK rises to 1900 by the Oreichalkos. That ends my turn.

"I summon Mystical Elf (800/2000) in Defense Mode," said Yami. That ends my turn.

"Guardian Angel Joan, destroy his Mystical Elf!" said Raphael. Mystical Elf is destroyed and Raphael's lifepoints soar to 4100. Then I set one card face down and end my turn.

"Heart of the Cards, guide me," said Yami to himself. I summon Beaver Warrior (1200/1500) in Defense Mode. That ends my turn.

"I summon Big Shield Gardna (100/2600) in Defense Mode," said Raphael. Now I can equip my Gardna with the Twin Swords of Flashing Light Tryce card. With this in play I sacrifice my Celtic Guardian to summon Guardian Tryce (1900/1700) in Attack Mode. Guardian Tryce's ATK rises to 2400 by the Oreichalkos. Guardian Tryce destroy his Beaver Warrior! Beaver Warrior is destroyed.

"This duel is far from over, Raphael," said Yami.

"It may as well be, I 'm destroying every one of your defenses one by one," said Raphael. Give up yet? I've got plenty more Guardians where those came from.

"No matter how tough the situation is I won't give up," said Yami.

"I activate Shooting Star Bow-Ceal," said Raphael. I equip it to Big Shield Gardna. Then, I summon Guardian Ceal (1700/1400) in Attack Mode. Guardian Ceal's ATK rises to 2200 by the Seal of Oreichalkos. That ends my turn.

"I set one card face down and sacrifice my Giant Soldier of Stone to summon Berformet (1400/1800) in Defense Mode. Next, I activate Monster Reincarnation, which allows me to bring back one monster from the Graveyard and add it to my hand. Then, I set one more card face down to end my turn. Make your move, Raphael.

"Guardian Angel Joan, destroy his Berformet!" said Raphael.
