Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 419

Chapter 419: Chapter 419: Dragons Must Die (Bonus)

"Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon, attack!" Kaiba shouted.

"Attack ’Grinder Token’!!!"

[Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon, ATK 4800]

[Grinder Token, ATK 0]

The Grinder Golem’s summoned token had to be in Attack Position, a glaring weakness on Kira’s field. Shining Dragon’s attack would end this duel.

But Kaiba frowned slightly.

Could it really be that simple?

Would this guy really...

As expected. Just as the Shining Dragon’s finishing blow fired, a burst of electromagnetic sparks exploded, and a powerful invisible force repelled both the light blast and the dragon’s body—the white light soared into the sky, vanishing.

"Huh?" Mokuba exclaimed. "But Shining Dragon can ignore any effect, why was its attack stopped?"

Kaiba noticed a fleeting turtle-shaped shadow on Kira’s field and snorted softly.

"That monster again..."

"Electromagnetic Turtle in the grave," Kira revealed the card banished from his graveyard.

"During your opponent’s turn, you can banish this card from your graveyard to end the Battle Phase." Kira smiled. "Shining Dragon ignores card effects, but this isn’t an effect that targets the monster.

Even a monster that surpasses the gods can’t break the rules of dueling. When the Battle Phase is forcibly ended, the attack just fails."

Kaiba smiled faintly.

Just like back then.

"..."

Kaiba: "Obelisk the Tormentor, tear Slifer apart!"

"In the grave, Electromagnetic Turtle’s effect..."

"MUDA! Fodder monsters’ effects don’t work on gods!"

"I know, but this isn’t an effect on a god," Yami Yugi replied. "Electromagnetic Turtle ends the Battle Phase—so even a god’s attack is meaningless!"

"..."

That infuriating attitude, always—but that’s why that person mattered so much to him.

For Kaiba, duels with that person were always full of strategy and spirit, pushing him to his limits, time after time.

That person’s very existence made his blood boil.

That’s why, even after all these years, he couldn’t forgive the guy for snatching victory and leaving as the winner.

And now, through this duel, Kaiba increasingly saw a bit of that person’s shadow in Kira.

Was it an illusion?

It didn’t matter.

The only thing that mattered was that this was the kind of battle he sought and recognized.

"I set two cards face-down and end my turn."

Kaiba swept his arm, setting two more cards.

The situation was clearly dire for Kira.

Kaiba’s deck had surpassed everything in this era, and now he’d brought out a trump card like "Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon."

"Ultimate-resistant Ultimate Dragons and Shining Dragons, one after another with no breathing room—President really doesn’t give you a break..."

Kira smiled wryly.

Well, the result of this duel didn’t matter. He was just testing his own limits; win or lose, he didn’t care.

No fear of defeat, no obsession with victory. As Jaden often said, he was simply immersed in the duel, living in the moment with all his might.

"My turn, draw!"

At that moment, the Sealing Device seemed to flicker. The Eye of Horus flashed gold.

Kaiba’s pupils narrowed slightly.

That sense of power, that blood-stirring feeling...

"During this turn’s Standby Phase, the effect of ’Take Over Five’ in the graveyard activates. This card and any copies in the deck are banished, and I draw one card."

The spell card vanished in a shimmer of gold; Kira drew a card.
