Chapter 110: I Saw the Security Guard!
Two strange-looking Monsters were Summoned to the Field by Putah. Looking at their appearance, Joey Wheeler didn't pay them much mind. Aside from their Special Summon Effect, the two Monsters had no other special characteristics; both their ATK and Defense (DEF) were quite weak, with nothing particularly noteworthy about them.
[Sealed Beast - Inun] [1 Star (Level)/Dark Attribute]
[Fiend Type/Effect]
[200/300]
[Sealed Beast - Nunurao] [2 Stars (Level)/Light Attribute]
[Fairy Type/Effect]
[500/800]
"Are they just Monsters of this level?" Joey Wheeler looked at his Hand, feeling a bit smug. "What's this? Looks like Top 8 is pretty simple after all. I feel super courageous right now."
"That Expression of yours, it seems you don't think much of the Sealed Beast on my Field, huh?" Putah noticed Joey Wheeler's disdain and smirked. "Then let me show you my strongest Sealed Beast!"
"I Tribute the two Sealed Beast on the Field! Combine the Power of Light and Dark, Descent!"
[Sealed Beast - Baolong]!
The two Sealed Beast, having been Tributed, transformed into mysterious runes floating within the Field. The runes combined and arranged themselves, constructed a completely new Monster that appeared on Putah's Field. With a savage roar, a Monster named after bronze, possessing the appearances of both Nunurao and Inun, was Summoned.
"ROAR!!!"
[Sealed Beast - Baolong] [8 Stars (Level)/Earth Attribute]
[Rock Type/Effect]
[2700/2100]
"He Summoned an 8-Star (Level) big Monster on the first Turn!" Joey Wheeler was shocked. "And its ATK is actually as high as 2700 Points!"
"Heh heh, the Power of Sealed Beast is more than what you've seen." Putah was quite satisfied with Joey Wheeler's reaction. What he liked most was seeing others worship and be shocked by him, which is why he played Duel Monsters. "Next Turn, you'll see the terrifying aspect of my Sealed Beast."
"I Set one Card in my Spell/Trap Zone. My Turn ends."
[Putah: 4000 LP, Hand 1]
[Sealed Beast - Baolong] [ATK 2700]
[Set Card] [True Word of Sealing]
"Tch, this is a bit troublesome now." Joey Wheeler looked at his Hand with some annoyance. Among his starting five Cards, he had drawn the Monster with the highest ATK in his Deck, the Red-Eyes Black Dragon obtained from Rex Raptor. However, even Red-Eyes's ATK was only 2400 Points, which couldn't compare to Baolong's 2700 Points.
"In that case, I can only rely on my next Draw a Card. My Turn!"
Drawing a Card, Joey Wheeler's Expression brightened, and he looked at Putah opposite him with some pride. "A mere Monster with 2700 ATK Points? My Deck isn't just for show! Watch how I defeat it!"
"Activate Magic Card, Skull Dice." Playing a Card from his Hand, Joey Wheeler was somewhat smug. "Its Effect is to select one Monster on the Field, then roll a die. That Monster's ATK until the end of the Turn will become the value divided by the die roll."
But Joey Wheeler's expectant gaze fell flat. Even though he played the Card, nothing happened on his Field; it remained completely empty. "What's going on?"
"Hmph ha ha ha ha, a mere Commoner actually fantasizes about using a gambling Card relying on luck like that to defeat my Sealed Beast - Baolong?" Putah laughed, and at the same time explained why Joey Wheeler's Skull Dice didn't activate. "As long as True Word of Sealing exists on my Field, Sealed Beast - Baolong will receive the protection of the True Word. Whether it's a Spell, Trap, or Monster Effect, you can't even Target it."
"It's a noble Cannot be targeted effect?" Hayato looked at Sealed Beast - Baolong surrounded by mysterious runes. "Skull Dice is a Spell Card that requires selecting one Monster to activate. With only Sealed Beast - Baolong on the Field, it couldn't be Activated at all. It's a good thing Joey Wheeler didn't Summon a Monster beforehand."
"If he had a Monster on his own Field, because he couldn't select Baolong as a Target, he would have been forced to weaken his own Monster instead." Yugi looked at the Field with some concern. "Joey Wheeler..."
"Not only is its ATK as high as 2700 Points, but it also has such a troublesome Effect." Joey Wheeler felt it was incredibly difficult to deal with. "In that case, I Normal Summon Pitch-Black Panther Warrior from my Hand, then Set two Cards. End Turn."
The Panther Warrior wielding a scimitar appeared on Joey Wheeler's Field. Looking at Sealed Beast - Baolong on the opposite Field, it let out a low growl without fear. According to Rainbow Kuriboh's translation, it seemed to be saying something like, "I saw the security guard."
[Pitch-Black Panther Warrior] [4 Stars (Level)/Earth Attribute]
[Beast-Warrior/Effect]
[2000/1600]
Setting two Cards from his Hand, Joey Wheeler ended his Turn like this.
[Joey Wheeler: 4000 LP, Hand 3]
[Pitch-Black Panther Warrior] [ATK 2000]
[Set Card] [Set Card]
"Heh heh, although it's a Powerful Monster with 2000 ATK, you're still too weak before my invincible Sealed Beast army." Putah glanced at Joey Wheeler's Field and laughed smugly. "My Turn, Draw a Card!"
"Oh, looks like my luck is pretty good too. I drew a Powerful Card. Then, I'll finish you off this Turn!"
"Normal Summon, Sealed Beast - Charmgal, then Equip it with the Equip Spell Card Molting Escape!"
[Sealed Beast - Charmgal] [3 Stars (Level)/Water Attribute]
[Reptile Type/Effect]
[1200/1400]
The snake-like Monster named after the Daughter of the Sun appeared on Putah's Field. As soon as it appeared, a beam of white light erupted from its mouth, heading straight for the Set Card in Joey Wheeler's Spell/Trap Zone.
"Because True Word of Sealing exists on the Field, Sealed Beast - Charmgal's Effect is liberated." Putah explained smugly. "Once per Turn, I can Destroy one Card in your Spell/Trap Zone. I choose the one on the left!"
"You're going to Destroy my Spell/Trap Zone? Don't even think about it!" Joey Wheeler flipped up the Set Card that was chosen as the Target. "Before you Destroy it, I Activate the Effect of Scapegoat! I Summon 4 Sheep Tokens to my Field! As a Stakes, I cannot perform any other Summons this Turn."
The white light heading straight for the Set Card missed. The Card Joey Wheeler Set transformed into four adorable, multi-colored sheep that appeared on his Field. They weren't afraid of the two Sealed Beast staring menacingly from the opposite side, just stood there with their heads down, as if looking for grass to eat.
"Tch, you wasted one of my opportunities." Putah said, annoyed. "That would mean, I'll Attack that Pitch-Black Panther Warrior with Sealed Beast - Baolong."
"ROAR!"
The Earth Attribute Power contained within its body surged. The Rock Type Dragon opened its massive mouth, and a beam of bronze-colored light fanned out, about to strike Pitch-Black Panther Warrior. Just then, Joey Wheeler also flipped up the remaining Set Card in his Spell/Trap Zone,
"Before you Attack, Activate Trap Card!"
