Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 538

Chapter 538: Chapter 538: The Final Lesson

"This is your final lesson!"

Clearly, Lyman’s new cards offered hope—a counter to Necroface.

"But you haven’t forgotten, have you, professor?" Kira smiled. "I still have the Continuous Trap ’Appropriate’ on my field. Whenever you draw cards by a card effect outside your Draw Phase, I also draw two cards.

And you just drew two from ’Advance Draw’."

Kira drew his cards.

"So I also get to draw two!"

"I know," Lyman chuckled. "Don’t underestimate your professor.

And naturally, the top card of your deck is the ’Necroface’ you put there last turn with Shutendoji."

Kira: "Oh?"

Lyman’s tone implied he’d calculated even the two-card draw from Appropriate.

That meant one of the cards Lyman drew was probably...

"I activate the Spell Card ’Card Destruction!’" Lyman declared. "Both players discard their entire hands, then draw the same number of cards!"

"As I thought."

Kira wasn’t surprised. He discarded his hand and drew two.

"Which means the ’Necroface’ you just drew must also be discarded," Lyman said. "And Necroface can only activate its effect when normally summoned—returning cards to the deck.

So even if you use ’Monster Reborn’ or similar to revive it, you can’t use that effect."

"Nice move. You even accounted for my Appropriate draw." Kira smiled. "But you didn’t forget, did you? ’Card Destruction’ lets both players discard their hands and draw an equal number. That’s another instance of ’drawing outside the Draw Phase.’"

"Of course."

Lyman nodded, discarding and drawing again.

"So, thanks to ’Appropriate,’ you get to draw two more cards."

Kira drew.

"But if you think my deck only has Golden Homunculus and Helios as its threats, you’re underestimating me!

From my hand, I activate the Quick-Play Spell ’A Deal with Dark Ruler’!

This card can only be activated when a Level 8 or higher monster you control is sent from the field to the Graveyard—Special Summon this card from your deck—"

"Appear! Berserk Dragon!"

A pitch-black storm—death itself coalesced into a dark whirlwind! The black dragon roared, radiating the stench of decay.

[Berserk Dragon, ATK 3500]

"Then I equip it with ’Lucky Iron Axe.’ The equipped monster gains 500 ATK!"

[Berserk Dragon, ATK 3500 → 4000]

"Attack ’Shutendoji’!"

A breath of death, capable of corroding all. Shutendoji was instantly shattered, vanishing in a cloud of death.

Kira raised his arm to shield himself, smiling slightly.

"Summoning a powerful monster to retaliate right away—you’re impressive, professor."

"Hehe, naturally."

Lyman chuckled, but kept his thoughts to himself.

Still, this shouldn’t be too tough for Kira to overcome, right?

He looked at his final card—Mirror Force.

To finish with the same card as Kira, as a final play, seemed fitting.

"I set a card," Lyman said. "But Berserk Dragon has a drawback—its ATK decreases by 500 at the end of each turn."

[Berserk Dragon, ATK 4000 → 3500]

"My turn is over."

"My turn, draw," Kira said. "I summon ’Jinzo - Jector.’"

[Jinzo - Jector, ATK 800]

"Jinzo?"

Lyman frowned, sensing trouble.

"Jinzo - Jector’s effect," Kira said. "By tributing itself, I can add a Jinzo monster from my deck to my hand.

I add ’Jinzo’ to my hand."

He pointed to Lyman’s backrow.

"Then, I can look at all face-down Spell/Trap Cards you control."

A scanning beam from Jinzo revealed Lyman’s face-down card: Mirror Force.

"Oh, so you saw it all?" Lyman smiled. "Yes, my last set card is Mirror Force, the so-called ultimate shield.

Now that you know, how will you respond?"
