I sent an email to Bushiroad and they replied.

Q. When I was the target of an attack, I used the ability of "Dragon's Seal" as a 【Counter】, and called a monster to the center. With the center no longer open, is the attack negated, or does it continue to the me?

With regard to your query, as the attack is already declared on you, using Dragon's Seal as a counter and summoning a monster to the center after a direct attack is declared will not prevent you from taking the damage.

Using cards like Dragon's Seal, Horse of the King of Gods, Sleipnir, and Speed Summon that can call a monster to the center but don't redirect the attack like Quick Summon and Dragonic Paratrooper DOES NOT negate a direct attack. The card would have to be used before the attack is declared.
