Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 703

Chương 703: Chapter 703: Barrier

"You actually broke the World Lock. Not bad. Looks like your destiny isn't entirely a paper tiger."

Kira said.

"Then having you attack me next turn would be troublesome.

So, I'll use the Spell Card 'Tribute to The Doomed.' By discarding a card, I can destroy any monster on the field." 1

Kira discarded a card to the GY, then revealed the Spell in hand. Golden light burst from the card; white bandages lashed out like tentacles, binding Sartorius's demon tightly.

"I destroy Arcana Force XV - The Fiend."

The Fiend was mummified, let out a shriek, then detonated into a fireball—gone.

Sartorius muttered something under his breath at the fragments, indistinct but clearly not polite.

"Although during my End Phase I could Special Summon Samsara Lotus from the GY, it can only Special Summon itself in Attack Position. That'd be stupid.

So I won't activate Samsara Lotus's effect. I'll keep Treeborn Frog in Defense Position and set one card. Turn end."

"My turn. Draw."

Sartorius drew, eyed the Fool on his field, and bared his teeth—more and more annoyed by the sight.

This cursed thing: 0 ATK, can't be destroyed by battle, can't switch to Defense. And though he'd cracked the World Lock, he'd paid with LP left like a candle in the wind.

In other words, if the opponent summons anything with 900+ ATK and swings at the Fool, ignoring everything else, his destiny is toast.

Dying like that would be far too stupid. 2

Sartorius grit his teeth.

But it's his Arcana Force—his monster. Even crawling, he'd swallow it.

"I activate the Spell Card 'Card of Sanctity.' Both players draw until they have six cards in hand." (anime effect) 1

Sartorius refilled to six cards.

May these draws bring an escape.

At this level, a warrior of destiny always has a path so long as he can draw. His draw didn't disappoint; his lips curled.

"Heh… hahahaha, the goddess of fate is still on my side."

He raised his arm. A slot on his Duel Disk popped.

"Now, I activate the Field of Light, unleashing its full power—

—Field Spell: 'Light Barrier'!" 1

A white beam shot skyward, expanding until it covered the entire arena. The endless white formed a transparent barrier; even the background and sky were dyed pure white—only dazzling light remained, without a speck of blemish.

"In the field of Light Barrier, when any monster with 'Arcana Force' in its name is Summoned, you don't rotate the card—you can freely choose Head or Tail!"

At first glance this looks redundant—Sartorius seemed to choose Head/Tail at will anyway—but this Field is precisely proof that he isn't as confident in his destiny as he claims.

And indeed, in the anime, while Sartorius freely chose every rotation against Chazz, Aster, and in the first half versus Jaden, in the end, at a critical rotation, he choked.

That proves Sartorius's so-called destiny can misfire. Even if picking Head/Tail is his "superpower," against someone with sufficiently strong destiny—like Jaden—there's a non-zero chance of error.

At a high level, a single misstep can cost the match. Light Barrier exists to completely seal that possibility.

Kira nodded. "I know." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
