Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 1083

Chapter 1083: Chapter 1083: The War of Plants

Akiza shook her head, fighting against the tide of sadness threatening to swallow her whole.

She couldn’t afford to let her emotions get the better of her—not if she wanted to avenge Sayer.

"From my hand, I activate the field spell: ’Black Garden’!"

This was a signature field for Akiza Izinski in her early days. As she slid the card into the duel disk, deep purple vines burst forth from the edge of the dueling arena. Thorny rose branches quickly wove themselves into a dense mesh, encasing every inch of the dueling space inside the building. Duelists and monsters alike found themselves confined within a ring of brambles, as if trapped in a living prison.

Black Garden—a card Kira was also familiar with. It’s a field spell normally for Plant monsters, but looking at its legacy in the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game, it’s known more as an "acrobatics" card than purely as a Plant support. After all, most people remember it for various combo shenanigans rather than mainstream Plant decks.

With the field spell active, Akiza snapped her wrist and set another card in her back row. "I set one card facedown. My turn ends."

Kira looked up, his gaze drifting around the prison-like lattice formed by the vines, before finally speaking.

"’Black Garden,’ huh? This field is the perfect reflection of your heart."

"A self-imposed prison—a lonely garden. But deep inside, you crave companionship, don’t you? A place where you’re accepted—not as the Black Rose Witch, but simply as yourself."

The more he spoke, the angrier Akiza became.

Yes. She was afraid of loneliness, hated being ostracized. She had finally found someone who would accept her, somewhere she could call home.

But that person had just been mercilessly torn away by the very man standing before her.

"You know, in a way, this might not be a bad thing for you," Kira said lazily. "You thought Sayer gave you shelter, but at the same time, he also took away your possibilities for the future. No independent thinking, no genuine emotions, just following the path he dictated, carrying out his every command."

"Shut up!" Akiza snapped.

"Haha, guess there’s nothing I can say that you’ll listen to now. Well, that’s fair—I am the villain at the moment," Kira laughed.

But he glanced at the Dragon Mark on Akiza’s hand. The red glow shone even more intensely, now almost looking like it was burning.

A good omen.

"Well then, it’s my turn. Draw." Kira declared, "First I activate my set card, the trap ’Sixth Sense.’"

Upon activation, you announce two numbers from one to six, then roll a die. If the result matches either of the numbers declared, you draw that many cards from your deck. If not, you discard a number of cards from the top of your deck equal to the die roll.

A spinning die appeared above the arena.

Akiza said coldly, "Declare your numbers."

"Well then, I’ll naturally declare five and six," replied Kira.

The die spun rapidly and, with a crisp clatter, bounced on the floor, rolling twice before stopping.

It showed a 3.

"Hmm, just three? Well, that’s fine."

Sixth Sense’s activation is always a win-win. Three will do. Kira drew three cards from the top of his deck.

"And per Sixth Sense’s effect, I now send three cards from the top of my deck to the graveyard."

One by one, the three cards went to the grave, but immediately one projected itself as a hologram above him—a girl with elf-like pointed ears, round glasses, and a thick ancient book in her hand appeared.

"Effect of Learning Elf," announced Kira. "If this card is sent from the deck to the graveyard, I draw one card from my deck."

He drew an extra card.

"Next, I normal summon the card I searched last turn—’Lonefire Blossom’!"

A ball of flame ignited on the field, quickly morphing into a bud about to bloom.
