The double duel continues.

## Featured Duel: Prez Koumori and Shawn Yuki vs. Maveric Illblud and Pedro Knauer

The duel continues from the last episode.

**Turn 19: Pedro**

Pedro draws. He then activates "Pot of Greed" to draw two cards. Since he controls no monsters, he activates "Water Hazard" to Special Summon "Tribe-Infecting Virus" (1600 → 1800/1000 → 1200) from his hand in Attack Position. He then activates its effect to discard one card, declare a Monster Type and destroy all monsters on the field of that Type. He declares Psychic, so "Thought Ruler Archfiend" is destroyed. He then activates "Fissure" to destroy "Ruin, Queen of Oblivion". He then Normal Summons "Codarus" (1400 → 1600/1200 → 1400) in Attack Position. He then activates its effect to send "A Legendary Ocean" to the Graveyard ("Tribe Infecting Virus": 1800 → 1600/1200 → 1000; "Codarus": 1600 → 1400/1400 → 1200) and destroy Shawn's Set monster and "Barrel Dragon". He then activates "Big Wave Small Wave" to destroy all monsters he controls and Special Summon "Gogiga Gagagigo" (2950/2800) and "Levia Dragon - Daedalus" (2600/1500) from his hand in Attack Position. "Daedalus" attacks Shawn directly (Shawn 4000 → 1400). "Gogiga Gagagigo" attacks Shawn directly, but Shawn activates his face-down "Draining Shield" to negate the attack and increase his LP by the ATK of "Gogiga Gagagigo" (Shawn 1400 → 4350).

**Turn 20: Prez**

Prez draws. He then activates "Painful Choice" to pick five cards from his Deck, force Pedro to choose one among them to add it to Prez's hand and send the rest to the Graveyard. He chooses "Dark Horus", "Dragovanian" (Don't really know what it is), "Dark Magician", "Summoned Skull" and "Red-Eyes Black Dragon". He chooses "Red-Eyes Black Dragon". Since Prez controls no monsters and has five DARK monsters in his Graveyard, he Special Summons "The Dark Creator" (2300/3000) from his hand in Attack Position via its own effect. He then Normal Summons "Dark Grepher" (1700/1600) in Attack Position. He then activates the effect of "The Dark Creator" to banish a DARK monster from his Graveyard and revive "Dark Horus" (3000/1800) in Attack Position. "Dark Horus" attacks and destroys Maveric's "Gogiga Gagagigo" (Maveric 3350 → 3300). "Dark Grepher" attacks and destroys "Goblin Attack Force".  "The Dark Creator" attacks Maveric directly, but Maveric activates his face-down "Fires of Doomsday" to Special Summon two "Doomsday Tokens" (0/0) in Defense Position. A replay occurs and "The Dark Creator" attacks and destroys a "Doomsday Token".

**Turn 21: Maveric**

Maveric draws. He then activates "Magical Stone Excavation" to discard two cards and add "Monster Reborn" from his Graveyard to his hand. He then activates "Monster Reborn" to Special Summon "Double Coston" (1700/1650) from Prez's Graveyard in Attack Position. Due to the effect of "Double Coston", it counts as two Tributes for the Tribute Summon of a DARK monster. He then Tributes his remaining "Doomsday Token" and "Double Coston" in order to Tribute Summon "The Wicked Dreadroot" (4000/4000) in Attack Position. Due to the effect of "Dreadroot", the ATK of all other monsters on the field is halved ("The Dark Creator": 2300 → 1150/3000; "Dark Grepher": 1700 → 850/1600; "Dark Horus": 3000 → 1500/1800; "Gogiga Gagagigo": 2950 → 1475/2800). He then equips "Dreadroot" with "Megamorph", doubling its ATK ("Dreadroot": 4000 → 8000/4000). "Dreadroot" attacks and destroys "The Dark Creator" (Prez 18400 → 11550).

**Turn 22: Shawn**

Shawn draws. He then Sets a monster.

**Turn 23: Pedro**

Pedro draws. "Gogiga Gagagigo" attacks and destroys "Dark Grepher" (Prez 11550 → 10925). "Daedalus" attacks Shawn's Set monster, "Spirit Reaper" (300 → 150/200 → 100). Due to the effect of "Spirit Reaper", it cannot be destroyed by battle.

**Turn 24: Prez**

Prez draws. He then switches "Dark Horus" to Defense Position.

**Turn 25: Maveric**

Maveric draws. He then Normal Summons "Jirai Gumo" (2200 → 1100/100 → 50) in Attack Position. "Jirai Gumo" attacks "Dark Horus". He then activates its effect to toss a coin and call heads or tails. If he calls it wrong, his LP will be halved. He calls heads. He gets tails (Maveric 3300 → 1650). "Jirai Gumo" then destroys "Dark Horus". "Dreadroot" attacks Prez directly (Prez 10925 → 2925).

**Turn 26: Shawn**

Shawn draws. He then Sets a card.

**Turn 27: Pedro**

Pedro draws. He then Normal Summons "Mermaid Knight" (1500 → 750/700 → 350) in Attack Position, but Shawn activates his face-down "Solemn Judgement" to pay half his LP (Shawn 4350 → 2175), negate the summon of "Mermaid Knight" and destroy it. "Gogiga Gagagigo" and "Daedalus" attack Prez directly (Prez 2925 → 1450 → 150).

**Turn 28: Prez**

Prez draws. He then activates "Mausoleum of the Emperor". Now during each turn, the turn player can Tribute Summon one monster by paying 1000 LP for each Tribute required. He then activates "Spell Economics". Now Prez can't pay any LP for the effect of a Spell Card. He then uses the effect of "Mausoleum of the Emperor" to pay 3000 LP, which he doesn't via "Spell Economics", and Tribute Summon "The Wicked Avatar" (?/?) in Attack Position. Due to the effect of "The Wicked Avatar", its ATK and DEF become equal to the ATK of the strongest monster on the field +100 ("The Wicked Avatar": ? → 8100/? → 8100). "The Wicked Avatar" attacks and destroys "The Wicked Dreadroot" (Maveric 1650 → 1550).

The duel continues in the next episode.
