Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 825

Chapter 825: Chapter 825: Disruptive Alchemy

Chaos Distill, activate!

Flames flared on Lyman’s field, forming a burning ring. A heavy alchemical cauldron rose with a rumble from the fire and set down on his field.

"As long as Chaos Distill is on the field, any of my cards sent to the Graveyard are banished instead," Lyman smiled.

Weevil frowned slightly.

Banishing your own cards... Is this a banish-focused deck?

Sensing his doubt, Lyman chuckled.

"You can’t judge alchemy by common sense," he said, then indicated another card.

The tabby casually picked up that card in its mouth and slid it into the disk.

"Spell Card: Steel Lamp!

This card can only be activated if Chaos Distill is on your field. Special Summon one ’Alchemy Beast - Salamandra the Steel’ from your hand or Deck."

A huge lamp manifested. Iron-like lamp oil dripped from the Deck, sizzling on the ground and releasing white steam. Blazing fire surged up and took the shape of a dragon.

[Alchemy Beast - Salamandra the Steel, ATK 500]

"Effect of Alchemy Beast - Salamandra the Steel," Lyman smiled. "Alchemical Beasts can attack the opponent directly, ignoring monsters!"

Weevil’s face changed. "Nani?"

"Salamandra the Steel, direct attack!"

The dragon shot straight across the field, ignoring Ultimate Insect, and blasted Weevil in the face.

[Weevil, LP 4000 → 3500]

"Tch. Cheap tricks," Weevil scoffed, then pushed up his glasses and sneered. "But to deal just a bit of damage, you’re leaving such a weak monster on the field? I’ll crush it in no time—"

"Oh?"

Lyman’s ghost also pushed up imaginary frames and smiled.

"Even in death, I’ve learned a few tricks from my students. Let’s see if you’re ready for this...

I set two cards and end my turn."

"At the end of your turn, my set card activates!"

As his back row flipped, a torrent of golden light burst up from the ground, engulfing Weevil’s Ultimate Insect.

"Trap Card: Level Change!" Weevil shouted. "This card can only be activated during your opponent’s End Phase!

Send one face-up ’LV’ monster you control to the Graveyard; Special Summon, ignoring Summoning conditions and revival restrictions, one monster listed on that card from your Graveyard!" (anime card)

Weevil pointed to LV3.

"Send Ultimate Insect LV3 to the Graveyard to rank it up—come forth—

—Ultimate Insect LV5!"

Bathed in gold, the insect grew and evolved at visible speed, its body swelling drastically. Blades sprouted for legs, and armored plates seemed to encase its form.

[Ultimate Insect LV5, ATK 2300]

"Ranking up to LV5 in a single turn," Lyman chuckled. "LV monsters can rank up again in your Standby Phase.

So next turn you’re aiming for LV7?"

"Exactly!"

Weevil’s eyes gleamed.

"I don’t have time to waste on a cat. I’ll end this quickly.

My turn—draw!

Standby Phase, Ultimate Insect LV5’s effect! Send LV5 to the Graveyard to evolve again! Appear—

—Ultimate Insect LV7!"

Weevil laughed madly, as if reaching the pinnacle of his life. It was the aura unique to a duelist summoning his ace. His Ultimate Insect was once more wrapped in radiant evolution, growing and transforming; a terrifying creature was about to emerge from that golden storm—

But at that instant—
