Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 556

Chapter 556: Chapter 556: Sphere

Archfiend Cavalry—absorbed!

Transforming Sphere’s effect is faithfully adapted from the manga. The printed card added a single line:

"Once per turn."

Yes—printed versions slap "once per turn" on many old, broken designs. In the manga, Transforming Sphere lacked that clause: with enough discard fodder and a Defense target, it could absorb multiple times per turn.

"Direct attack, Transforming Sphere!"

As it dove with the absorbed Soldier, Titan stayed calm and barked: "Activate set card!

Trap, Sakuretsu Armor—destroy the attacking monster!"

"Futile struggle," Kagemaru said coldly. "Trap: Air Barrier.

While ’Sphere’ is on my field, this turn your monsters can’t declare attacks, and no card effect can destroy my monsters." (manga card)

A transparent gale vortex flared like a shield before the Transforming Sphere. The trap’s beam crashed into it and dissipated.

"NANI?!" Titan’s face stiffened. "The trap didn’t work..."

"Transforming Sphere—continue your attack!"

"Ungh!"

Compelled by the wind, his own Archfiend Cavalry’s lance pierced his chest. Titan grunted, clutching his heart and dropping to a knee.

[Titan LP 4000 → 2000]

"So this is the Shadow Riders’ leader—seamless offense and defense," Tania murmured. "Impressive."

"Sphere..."

Lyman was familiar with the theme; seeing Kagemaru run it stirred old memories in his eyes.

Kira found the duel entertaining.

Sphere that can steal monsters... looks fun.

"At the end of the Battle Phase in which it attacked, Transforming Sphere changes to Defense Position," Kagemaru said.

[Transforming Sphere, ATK 2000 → DEF 100]

"I set three and end."

His voice stayed dull.

"At the end phase, the monster equipped to Transforming Sphere returns to its owner’s field. Your Archfiend Cavalry goes back."

[Archfiend Cavalry, DEF 0]

Titan caught his breath and stood.

"My turn. Draw!"

He took the ejected card and squinted at it.

"Let me try out this new power here.

Ritual Spell—’Ritual of the Matador’!" (anime card)
