This Monster is already quite impressive.
"I Special Summon the Disc Commander, Diamond Dude, and Doom Lord from the Graveyard!"
Disc Commander, DEF: 300; Diamond Dude, ATK: 1400; Doom Lord, DEF: 1000.
Ed looked at his field.
Originally, a Special Summon of the Disc Commander from the Graveyard would allow drawing two cards.
However, due to the presence of the Fog King, he was unable to activate the effect.
"End turn."
"My turn, Draw!"
"At this time, due to the effect of Diamond Dude activated from the last turn, I will directly process the effect of Destiny Draw in the Graveyard—no need to discard hand cards, directly draw two cards from the Deck!"
He quickly drew the cards, glanced at them.
"Although it cannot destroy by battle, it still has to endure battle damage—and the effect of the Fog King only reduces the opponent's Monster's ATK to 1 when attacking, so...
I release the Disc Commander on the field for a Tribute Summon, Destiny Hero - Dasher!"
Disc Commander spun on the field, then the humming sound of spinning wheels echoed. Before long, a pitch-black Warrior dashed swiftly, appearing on Ed's field.
Destiny Hero - Dasher, LV 6, Dark Attribute, Warrior-Type, Attack Power 2100.
"Battle, use Diamond Dude to attack the Fog King!"
Diamond Dude threw numerous diamonds, pelting the dense fog, and the Fog King swiftly leaped to another tower.
Amon, LP: 4000→3400.
"Then, Dasher attack the Fog King!"
Amon, LP: 3400→2100.
So, with another fierce kick from the Hero, the Fog King leaped and moved to the fourth tower.
Meanwhile, a new emblem on the Fog King's sword lit up.
Fog King, ATK: 800→1600.
"Unable to bypass Monsters, so you directly opt to cause damage? Such a clear strategy." The Lion Witch nodded.
On the other side, Amon smiled, looking at Ed, and said, "Ed, when the Royal Sword has 4 emblems, it can be sent to the Graveyard along with the equipped Monster to inflict 4000 points of damage to the opponent!"
What?
A group of Spirits immediately gasped in surprise.
Now there are already 2 emblems!
Ed furrowed his brows upon hearing this, looked at the card in his hand, pondered briefly, and then set a card face-down.
"Set a card, end turn."
"My turn, Draw—"
Amon drew a card, glanced down at it.
"Spell Card, Graceful Charity, draw three cards from the Deck, then discard two."
Everyone silently watched him draw cards, and then, after scrutinizing the hand cards, he surprisingly sent the Sealed Exodia and another card to the Graveyard.
"Battle, use the Fog King to attack Dasher!
Activate its effect, making both sides' ATK become 1!"
Thick fog slowly enveloped around Dasher, and its strength matched the Fog King's.
Indeed, as the Fog King attacked, Dasher was unable to resist and was swept away by the thick fog, disappearing from the field. At the same time, the third emblem on the Royal Sword was also filled with fog.
Fog King, ATK: 1600→2400.
"Wow, with another attack next time, you could directly cause 4000 points of effect damage, wouldn't that mean winning?!"
"You don't even need Exodia to win—"
"Set two cards, end turn."
"My turn!"
After the initial verbal sparring, the two quickly got into a groove, and apart from the duel, they said nothing more.
Now, they both just wanted to win this duel.
Ed drew a card, glanced at it, and smiled.
"I drew the Quick-Play Spell Card, Mystical Space Typhoon!"
"Oh no!!" Aiko's face changed dramatically.
At such a critical moment, he drew Mystical Space Typhoon—
"It seems, after all, my [Destiny] has the upper hand."
Ed smirked: "The effect of Mystical Space Typhoon, destroying your Royal Sword."
A fierce wind roared, the sword made of dense fog was swept up, enveloped, and disappeared amidst the spinning, flying wind, never to be seen again.
"You fell for it, Ed Phoenix!" But unexpectedly, Amon decisively activated a Trap Card at this moment, "Trap Card, Crown Explosion!"
"When the Royal Sword on your field is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, it can be activated. It turns the Royal Sword's emblems into tower markers on the field!"
With his action, the emblems in the Royal Sword flew out, expanded, and transformed into a massive fireball.
With the emergence of the fireball, the Fog King's silhouette gradually faded, finally becoming entirely invisible.
"What is this? Why?"
Ed was somewhat perplexed.
Wouldn't that mean he has no Monster Zones left to use?
"You'll find out soon enough." Amon said calmly.
Ed hesitated, looking at the cards in his hand.
"Regardless... since you no longer have the Fog King on your field, I can activate the effect of Diamond Dude. Reveal the top card of the Deck... Normal Spell Card, Heavy Storm. Activates next turn."
"At the same time, I switch Doom Lord on the field to Attack Position to launch a direct attack on the opponent!"
If the attack is successful, then I can win outright—
"Activate Set Card, Threatening Roar!" Amon lightly pushed his glasses, "This turn, you cannot declare an attack."
Ed's brows furrowed deeply.
Now, there's no way to attack.
However—the Kingdom of Fog seems to hide some powerful effect, leaving him vaguely uneasy.
What exactly could it be?
