Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 953

Chapter 953: Chapter 953: Mr. Marik’s Legacy

Kira: "I set a card and end my turn."

Marik subconsciously brushed off the virtual water. Though he’d taken a hit, he actually found himself more interested.

After all, in all his years of dueling, Marik rarely met someone who shared his style. Even though both sides were just feeling each other out, his intuition told him this person might be a kindred spirit.

To have a duelist with the same style as himself, who also stood at the very top of the world—any duelist would be intrigued.

On the one hand, it affirmed his understanding of dueling was right. On the other, it made him look forward to this clash even more.

Marik: "My turn. Draw!"

He removed Vampiric Leech from the duel disk and played a new monster.

"I tribute ’Vampiric Leech’ for a Tribute Summon!

Master of darkness, fiend general who beguiles the mind—descend!

—Archfiend Commander, Summon!"

A flash of golden lightning brought forth a hulking fiend, red-skinned and clad in steel armor, crackling with electricity, even its eyes flashing with lightning.

Archfiend Commander, the evolved form of Summoned Skull—same level, same stats, but with a better effect.

[Archfiend Commander, ATK 2500]

"When Archfiend Commander is Tribute Summoned, I can Special Summon a Level 6 Fiend from my graveyard in Defense Position."

Marik pulled a fiend from his graveyard.

"Master of dark swordsmanship—Beast of Talwar, summon!"

A green-skinned fiend, wielding two scimitars, landed on the field.

[Beast of Talwar, DEF 2150]

Archfiend Commander’s effect let Marik immediately field another high-level fiend, but only in Defense, so it couldn’t attack yet.

"Battle," Marik said. "Archfiend Commander attacks ’Submarineroid.’"

The fiend’s claw struck down, lightning crackled, and Submarineroid Number Two was destroyed.

"At least that troublesome submarine is gone," Marik said.

With the Roid and Megaroid City combo, direct 1800 damage was a real threat in a 4000 LP game. Delay too long, and you’d lose in a turn or two.

"Set a card, end turn."

Kira: "My turn. Draw."

He drew, squinting, then picked two cards from his hand.

"I set two cards."

Marik was alert.

Setting cards at the start of Main Phase?

Kira: "Then I activate the Spell Card ’Card of Demise’

Draw until I have five cards. In my fifth Standby Phase, I’ll discard my entire hand." (Anime effect)

Marik: "Kaiba’s signature draw engine, huh."

Instantly refilling his hand, Kira glanced at his new cards. When he spotted one, he smiled.

Finally.

That was true—not just for the original Kira, but for himself as well. When the DM anime aired the Battle City arc, he was still a kid playing in the dirt. He knew of ’Yu-Gi-Oh!’ but his skills were limited to imitating anime characters with friends, even copying the dialogue. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
