Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 533

Chapter 533: Chapter 533: Necroface

Golden Homunculus, summoned!

[Golden Homunculus, ATK 1500]

Quite fitting for an alchemist.

"Golden Homunculus gains ATK/DEF equal to the number of my banished cards × 300," Lyman said.

"Given the ’Chaos Distill’ effect, by now almost all your cards have been banished," Kira said calmly.

"Exactly! I’ve banished a total of nineteen cards, so Golden Homunculus gains 5700 ATK!"

[Golden Homunculus, ATK 1500 → 7200]

"Over seven thousand in one go," Kira praised. "Impressive."

"This is alchemy—nothing is impossible."

Lyman smiled faintly, then raised his hand.

"If you don’t get serious, this single blow ends it!

Golden Homunculus—attack ’Aqua Spirit’!"

The water spirit paled; against such power, there was nothing she could do. The artificial lifeform obliterated her effortlessly, and the raging shockwave barreled on toward Kira.

"From my hand, ’Kuriboh,’" Kira said. "Discard Kuriboh; battle damage becomes 0."

"Kuri!"

Kuriboh popped out, arms spread to shield him.

"Kuriboh—the little monster that wrought miracles at the first Duel King’s side. Fitting that the new King makes a similar choice."

Lyman smiled.

"But not so easy.

I activate my set Counter Trap ’Face-Off’!

Negate and destroy a monster, Spell, or Trap effect activated during the Damage Step!"

A blade of force cleaved toward Kuriboh’s phantom, ready to split it in two.

Without that shield, the Homunculus’s blow would be lethal!

"If you can’t answer this, the Duel King’s legend ends here!" Lyman declared.

"Professor, you really don’t leave any breathing room..."

Kira slowly raised his right arm.

"Then Counter Trap ’Counter Counter’!

Negate the activation of a Counter Trap and destroy it."

Lyman: "A counter to a Counter Trap!?"

A red beam lanced out, shredding the sword aura. The light continued on, blasting apart Lyman’s Trap.

With the counter foiled, the Homunculus’s blow landed—only on Kuriboh’s outstretched arms. The brunt of the force was sealed away; Kira remained unharmed.

"Hehe, as expected—the Duel King won’t fall so easily," Lyman smiled, not surprised.

That exchange was lightning fast. He had suddenly slammed down a 7000+ attacker and pushed for lethal within a single Damage Step—life and death in a heartbeat—yet Kira dispelled it with casual precision.

"I set two and end my turn," Lyman said.

The duel had only gone a few short rounds; he sensed the opponent was still probing, not going all-out, yet he could already feel it—this student he’d taught with his own hands was the greatest opponent of his life.
