Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 861

Chapter 861: Chapter 861: Endless Sacrifice Hell

Blair: "!?"

The next one?

The next what?

But Thousand-Eyes was destroyed...

"Magical Exemplar’s effect," Kira said lazily. "Once per turn, remove Spell Counters from itself to Special Summon a Spellcaster from hand or GY whose Level equals the number removed."

He pointed at the first Exemplar.

"Exemplar No. 1 has four counters thanks to your ’Pot of Greed’ and ’Cupid’s Kiss’ last turn.

"I remove one to revive a Level 1 Spellcaster from my GY.

"Arise—

—Thousand-Eyes Restrict!"

The green-robed sorceress closed her eyes and chanted. Ancient characters floated, weaving a ring of mystic light.

Darkness welled up at its center, polluting the holy array into a marshlike abyss.

From that abyss, innumerable eyes opened! A colossal mass steeped in darkness rose, a thousand pupils swiveling, its horrific aura dominating the arena.

Thousand-Eyes Restrict, revived!

[Thousand-Eyes Restrict, ATK 0]

Blair: "???"

Beyond the terror of the grotesque performance, her head filled with question marks.

Huh?

This thing is a Spellcaster?

"Thousand-Eyes Restrict’s effect," Kira snapped his fingers, smiling. "Once per turn, absorb an opponent’s monster as an Equip."

This is the power of no "once per turn per card name."

It looks like Thousand-Eyes can only activate once per turn—but if you summon another copy, or send and revive it, the usage resets.

In other words, if you can make it repeatedly in a single turn, you can ignore its usage limit. Absorb as many monsters as you can revive it.

That’s why modern Yu-Gi-Oh! slaps "You can only use this card name’s effect once per turn" on monsters. If it’s per card name, reviving doesn’t reset it.

The Maiden in Love struggled, but the dark tentacles swallowed her with a sob, corrupting her into part of the darkness.

Blair bit her lip.

Even so, it only absorbs one. She still had two Maidens. As long as one remains, she’s invincible.

"Magical Exemplar No. 2’s effect," Kira continued. "Remove one counter to revive a Level 1 Spellcaster from the GY.

"I remove one to revive this Level 1 Spellcaster. Return to the field—

—Relinquished!"

The dark mire erupted again, a cyclopean eye opening in the abyss. That unspeakable horror rose, its swiveling eyeball cursing the world.

Blair was almost in tears.

No way... This thing is a Spellcaster too?

What about it looks like a Spellcaster?

She now deeply distrusted the Duel Monsters creator who printed these two abyssal creatures...

"Relinquished’s effect: once per turn, absorb an opponent’s monster as an Equip," Kira said, smiling.

"Absorb a second Maiden in Love."

The cyclopean eye bulged wide, darkness burst again into tendrils that wrapped the girl. Another beautiful maiden wept and thrashed, then was devoured and absorbed.

Blair turned her head, unable to watch, pressing a hand to her chest to steady her breath.

Calm down. Don’t be afraid.

Now both Relinquished and Thousand-Eyes have absorbed. She still had her last Maiden, the lone survivor.

As long as one remains, the absolute defense holds. Maiden can’t be destroyed by battle, and Spirit Barrier negates damage—

"I activate the Equip Spell ’Wonder Wand,’" Kira said calmly. "Equip to a Spellcaster; it gains 500 ATK.

"I equip Wonder Wand to ’Relinquished,’ increasing it by 500."

Blair’s pupils shrank; many in the crowd sucked in air.

Everyone knew the key part of Wonder Wand isn’t the +500.

They all realized the Lord in Yellow’s next cruel move...

"Wonder Wand’s other effect: send this card and the equipped monster to the GY; draw two cards."

Kira gestured casually at Relinquished.
