Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 872

Chapter 872: Chapter 872: The Abyss Combo

"’Damage = Reptile’ resolves—searching a Reptile to the field!"

Viper went back into his deck, quickly pulling out a monster.

"I took 900 damage, so I Special Summon a Reptile from my Deck with ATK less than or equal to that number.

I Special Summon a second ’Venom Cobra’!"

The thickly white-scaled cobra returned—long body, lashing tail, tongue hissing. It looked truly fearsome.

[Venom Cobra, ATK 100]

"At this moment—"

Kira revealed a card in his hand.

"I activate the Quick-Play Spell ’Demise of the Land’!

When your opponent successfully Special Summons a monster, activate this to choose and activate a Field Spell from your Deck."

The field shifted at once. The sun, veiled by clouds, cast a hazy light over the barren ruins.

Then, like a tsunami, a great tide surged over the ruins, flooding the entire space. The seabed trembled, the earth cracked, ancient buildings rose with bubbling water and swirling dust.

"From my Deck, I activate the Field Spell ’A Legendary Ocean’," Kira said. "It increases the ATK/DEF of WATER monsters by 200, and reduces the Level of WATER monsters in both hands and on the field by 1."

[Abyss Soldier, ATK 1800 → 2000]

Viper fell silent.

That troublesome soldier is now at 2000 ATK. It’s only 200 more, but it elevates him from a lower-level beater to near upper-level thresholds—much more annoying.

Kira: "I set two cards to my back row. Turn end."

Adrian watched without a ripple.

Abyss Soldier—the bounce monster. Its ability seems tailor-made to counter Viper’s Vennominon.

Choosing this monster as the core of his plan—did the Duel King intend this from the start?

Could it be he already knew Professor Viper’s strategy?

"My turn. Draw—"

Viper stood and spoke in a low voice.

"You—did you already know Vennominon and the characteristics of my Venom Deck? Otherwise why would you just happen to...?"

"Well now... whether I knew or not..."

Kira wore a playful smile.

"What do you think?"

Viper ground his teeth.

Strength aside, the Duel King is as punchable as the legends say...

He’d also heard that provoking anger is part of the King’s dueling. Lose your cool in front of this guy, and you’ve fallen into his pace—defeat won’t be far.

"I activate the Spell ’Fiend’s Sanctuary’!" Viper declared. "I Special Summon a ’Metal Fiend Token’ to my field!"

A magical sigil opened on the ground; a little metal demon figure like a doll appeared within it.

[Metal Fiend Token, ATK 0]

"Then I Tribute ’Venom Cobra’ and the ’Metal Fiend Token’—once more, descend—

—Vennominon the King of Poisonous Snakes!!!"

Two Tributes reassembled on the field were swallowed by the dark mire. Then a cloud of poison burst out; countless little snakes formed first—Vennominon’s fingers—then those dangerous eyes, the upright serpent’s form, and the regal crimson cloak.
