Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 819

Chapter 819: Chapter 819: Decide Fate

"Trap Card—Break Away’s effect: end this Battle Phase!"

The trap’s wave slammed down, smothering the field. The charging Sapphire Pegasus crashed into a golden barrier of lightning, grunted, and was flung back.

The other Crystal Beasts, though not attacking, were pinned to the ground by the trap’s pressure, sparks skittering across them like shackles holding them immobile.

"And the Spell I discarded was ’Card of Compensation’." Kira said lazily. "When this card is sent to the Graveyard, I draw two."

"Argh, seriously—can I still not break through!?"

Jesse clawed at his hair, further mussing his already duelist-chic style.

He’d been so confident he’d finally get to land a hit. But the Battle Phase had barely begun—he didn’t even get his first attack declaration—before another iron wall popped up and the whole phase vanished.

It felt like foreplay went on forever, he finally got his chance to go all out, but just as he thrust in, he was interrupted and forced to hold back—a stifling, unsatisfied ache.

"Calm down, Jesse. Don’t fall into his rhythm!"

Emerald Tortoise cautioned.

"Yeah, I know."

Jesse took a deep breath.

"My attack plan still had gaps—sorry, everyone.

I end my turn."

"My turn. Draw."

Kira drew, then revealed a Spell.

"I activate ’Smashing Ground.’

Destroy your face-up monster with the highest DEF."

"You’d destroy my beloved family?" Jesse frowned. "My highest DEF is ’Crystal Beast Emerald Tortoise’..."

[Emerald Tortoise, DEF 2000]

"Then I’ll destroy the tortoise."

Kira pointed at the green-shelled turtle with a slight hook of his finger.

The ground split with a long crack. The Emerald Tortoise lost its footing, fell in, and exploded in a fireball.

Of course, it immediately crystallized into an emerald and appeared in Jesse’s backrow.

"Well, it didn’t really matter which I broke," Kira smiled. "I just needed to open a Monster Zone."

Jesse: "?"

On my field? You sure about that?

"Then I activate the Spell ’Necro Sacrifice—Special Summon a monster from my Graveyard to your field to reduce Tribute requirements for my Tribute Summon." (Anime card)

He’d found the card left by Sartorius extremely useful.

At first glance it looks like a support Spell to reduce Tributes, but in practice, stuffing weird things onto the opponent’s field is the real value.

There are similar "give the opponent a monster" cards in the real card pool—like Yusei’s trap "Give and Take," which also puts your grave monsters onto the opponent’s field.

He hadn’t found that specific card yet—it might be from the Synchro era and not exist now. No matter; this "Necro Sacrifice" works similarly.

"So I’ll Special Summon a monster from my GY to your field, reducing my Tribute by one. I choose...

’Arcana Force 0 - The Fool!’"

Jesse was stunned. "Huh? You’re giving me that lock piece—the invincible monster?"

"Yes. Don’t be shy, take it." Kira grinned. "And you can choose its battle position."
