Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 726

Chương 726: Chapter 726: Blessing of Light

"Silent Burning!"

A sphere of magical light blasted from the staff, roaring straight toward The D.

The D. snorted heavily. "So you're attacking anyway. Hah, that's a king's confidence, I guess? The confidence that no matter what formation I set up, your power can simply steamroll it.

But it won't be that easy."

He raised his hand and shouted:

"Activate set card: Trap Card 'Mirror Force'! When an opponent's monster declares an attack, destroy all Attack Position monsters on your opponent's field!" 1

As his words fell, not only did power surge from the Mirror Force itself, but a shocking energy burst forth from his body as well.

Kira's brow knit slightly.

He recognized it: the power of light, and a remarkably strong light at that.

That was unexpected. In his memory, in the original storyline, the Light of Destruction had already left The D.'s body and the card "Destiny HERO – Plasma," possessing Sartorius instead.

The D. still had remnants of the Light of Destruction within him, which gave him a dark persona like Sartorius's and power beyond reason—the broadcast cut at the World Championship and the arena explosion were caused by that power—but what remained should have been minimal, not enough to worry about.

Yet now the light he felt was clearly abundant, nothing like a mere remnant after the Light of Destruction's departure.

So Kira thought a moment and asked directly, "So the Light of Destruction never left you?"

"Oh?"

The D. looked mildly surprised.

"You seem to know quite a bit, Duel King. Heh, indeed. Back then, I did gain the power of light. But afterward, the light left me for a time to seek a new host. What I had was only a remnant…"

He lowered his head, his eyes hidden again behind the glare on his lenses, but his laugh grew eerier.

"But now, I have regained the light's guidance! The light has chosen me once more, and I'm stronger than ever!"

"So it chose you again—did someone approach you and restore your light waves? Let me guess," Kira asked. "Mello, was it?"

"Well now, was it or wasn't it?"

The D. pushed his glasses and sneered.

"Worry about surviving the present crisis first.

Mirror Force's power—your entire lineup of aces is going to be wiped in one go!"

It was as if the violent light-wave within him gathered into a hemispherical shield of white light. The Silent Magician's full-powered strike slammed into that barrier and rebounded fiercely.

The rebounding white light converged midair into a massive demonic silhouette. It bared its fangs and let out an indistinct roar, claws of white light raised high, crashing down toward Kira's field like thunder.

But of course, Kira had prepared for traps.

"Activate Ryu Senshi's effect."

Kira commanded.

"As long as Ryu Senshi is on the field, by paying 1000 Life Points, negate the effect of a Trap."

[Kira, LP 4000 → LP 3000]

The D.'s face finally shifted, and his earlier doubts were resolved. "So that's it—a trap-countering method. No wonder you summoned that monster even at the cost of lowering your Attack."

"Ryu Senshi, negate the effect of 'Mirror Force.'"

At Kira's order, Ryu Senshi drew his sword. Two-handed on the hilt, he seemed to gather strength; a translucent dragon spirit wrapped around the blade, like the dragon's very soul.
