Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 952

Chapter 952: Chapter 952: Sparring with Mr. Marik

A monster that can attack on the first turn—Marik first used this when he was six, during the Battle City finals against Atem. And that’s not its only effect.

"Vampiric Leech’s other effect activates," said Marik. "After it attacks, I can discard a card to switch it to Defense Position."

Marik sent a card from his hand to the graveyard.

[Vampiric Leech, ATK 500 → DEF 1200]

"Not only can it attack first, but it can shift to Defense after attacking to avoid the risk of low ATK."

Kira paused, then chuckled.

"Come to think of it, I don’t have a monster that can attack on the first turn, but I do have one with a similar concept."

"Oh? I’d like to see it," Marik smiled, setting a card face-down. "Set one card, end turn."

Kira: "My turn. Draw."

He raised his left arm, and a hidden compartment on his duel disk popped open.

"Since you asked, let me show you this guy.

I activate the Spell Card ’Terraforming’! Add a Field Spell from my deck to my hand."

A card shot out from Kira’s deck, and he drew it.

"I add the Field Spell ’Megaroid City’ to my hand.

Then, I activate ’Megaroid City’!"

He wasted no time, inserting the card into the duel disk. The deck auto-shuffled as the field transformed—a futuristic steel city, skyscrapers, interlacing highways, and busy traffic filled the stage.

"Next, I set a card face-down."

Kira set a card, then pointed to the city.

"Megaroid City’s effect: once per turn, I can destroy one of my own cards. I’ll destroy the card I just set!"

Marik was stunned. "Destroy your own card?"

Lightning crashed down from the city. The set card was blasted to pieces.

"After destroying my own card, I can add a ’Roid’ monster from my deck to my hand."

Kira revealed the card that popped out from his deck.

"I add ’Submarineroid’ to my hand."

The trap card he’d just sent to the graveyard also appeared.

"The card I destroyed was the trap ’Wonder Garage,’" Kira explained. "If Garage is destroyed while set, I can Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Machine monster from my hand." (Anime effect)

(The printed card restricts it to a Level 4 or lower ’Roid’ monster, a bit weaker, but here it works.)

"I Special Summon ’Submarineroid’ from my hand."

A cartoonish little submarine burst from underground, splashing water everywhere. Its human-like eyes seemed to sneer at any opponent in its way.

[Submarineroid, ATK 800]

"Then, I Normal Summon another one from my hand."

Kira revealed another identical monster.

"Submarineroid Number Two!"
