Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 686

Chương 686: Chapter 686: A King's Duel

"Chimeratech Overdragon can attack up to the number of Fusion Materials used during one Battle Phase," Kira said. "I used eight.

Therefore, Overdragon can attack eight times this turn."

Battle Beast's face twitched.

ATK 6400, eight attacks in a turn…

So this is the famed Cyber-Style burst?

Its reputation is well-earned. Look away for a second and you'll be reduced to ash.

However—

"Since 'Cyberload Fusion' is a Quick-Play Spell and was activated during the Battle Phase, Overdragon was summoned during the Battle Phase. So of course, it hasn't attacked yet this turn."

Kira snapped his fingers.

"Battle. Chimeratech Overdragon, attack 'Koa'ki Meiru Valafar'!"

The fortress rumbled, all heads opening wide. Flames surged in their steel maws; light and thunder entwined, erupting into a torrent of destructive beams.

Even one hit would be lethal—let alone eight. With 6400 ATK, a single touch would obliterate Battle Beast.

Tenma folded his arms. "His back row's already been cleared by Rampage. With only 2400 LP, it's over."

The Industrial Illusion underlings beside him nodded, their eyes filled with respect and awe as they watched Kira.

Blow away the back row, collapse the opponent's defense, then output terrifying damage in one breath—an almost guaranteed OTK.

If anyone thought the King of Duels only used mind games and tricks, they couldn't be more wrong.

He trolls because he likes to; it doesn't mean that's all he can do.

Even head-on, with pure burst—he's still the King, the pinnacle of this world's power.

"However—"

Battle Beast shouted, pulling a card from his hand.

"I activate a Trap Card from my hand!"

The crowd was stunned.

From his hand!?

"Oh? One of the Traps Rampage destroyed just now," Kira said evenly.

"Exactly," Battle Beast said. "Among the Traps Rampage destroyed was 'Cross Counter Trap.' When this card is destroyed, once only, I can activate a Trap Card from my hand." 1

He revealed a Trap.

"And I'll activate—Trap Card 'Trap of Darkness'!" Battle Beast declared. "If my LP are 3000 or below, I can pay 1000 LP to gain the effect of a Trap in my Graveyard, then banish that Trap!" 2

The spectators were shocked.

A Trap destroyed allows a Trap from hand, which copies a Trap from the Graveyard…

Trap-ception? 1

[Battle Beast: LP 2400 → 1400]

Kira nodded. "The other Trap destroyed by Overdragon?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Correct," Battle Beast said, pulling a Trap from his Graveyard. "The other Trap was 'Quaking Mirror Force'! When the opponent declares an attack: change all opponent's Attack Position monsters to Defense Position! 1

Battle Beast drew.

"During the Draw Phase, the effect of 'Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru' in my Graveyard activates.

If this card is in the Graveyard, during your Draw Phase, you can send a 'Koa'ki Meiru' monster from your hand to the Graveyard to add this card from the Graveyard to your hand."

The Graveyard slot flashed; he retrieved the green Spell.

"I'll discard a Koa'ki Meiru monster from my hand and return 'Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru' from my Graveyard to my hand."

"Then I activate 'Spell Book from the Pot'—we both draw three." 1

He drew; Kira also drew.

Battle Beast paused, squinted at Kira's face-down monster, and snorted softly.

"Even if Overdragon got covered up by the dust barrier, it's still a dangerous piece. Looks like that's your deck's ace, huh?"

He sneered.

"Then I'll remove it here and now.

I activate the Spell 'Nobleman of Crossout'! Destroy one face-down monster and banish it. 1

If it's a Flip monster, both players banish all copies from their Decks…but of course, we know yours isn't, so that part won't matter."

He pointed at Kira's set monster card.

"Now begone, Chimeratech Overdragon."

The exorcising blade slashed down, breaking the set card. Overdragon's image flickered and vanished in golden light.
