Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 954

Chapter 954: Chapter 954 – Mr. Marik’s Heavy Sins

Lava Golem.

Naturally, there are few in this world more familiar with this monster than Mr. Marik himself. But even Marik is usually used to seeing it on the other side of the cage—not inside it.

In fact, in the original series, it wasn’t regular Marik but his dark personality, Yami Marik, who used Lava Golem.

When Yami Marik seized control of Marik’s body, he’d already boarded the Duel Tower blimp for the Battle City quarterfinals. Although Yami Marik did make modifications to the deck, replacing some cards, he was already on the airship by then, so the number of cards he could swap was limited. Most of the deck’s foundation was still from Marik’s original deck.

And after Yami Marik was defeated, the deck he used was left behind, so the cards he’d played became Marik’s property.

So Marik is no stranger to Lava Golem strategies. He could already guess what his opponent was up to at a glance.

The Submarineroid is for direct attacks, while Lava Golem not only devours your own tribute monsters, it also reliably burns your LP every turn—a pure torture strategy.

But that’s not all.

"And right as my Submarineroid is revived, I activate this card," Kira declared. "Quick-Play Spell: Inferno Reckless Summon!

When a monster with 1500 or less ATK is Special Summoned to your side of the field: Special Summon as many monsters as possible with the same name from your hand and Deck."

Marik’s expression grew darker. "1500 or less ATK...that Submarineroid?"

Kira nodded. "That’s right. So I’ll Special Summon both remaining Submarines back to the field!"

The other two anthropomorphic Submarines burst out of the water, landing side by side. All three Submarines stood in a row, torpedoes loaded and ready to fire.

Marik gritted his teeth again.

He could no longer afford to underestimate these Submarines.

Three Submarines at once, all capable of leaping over the frontlines for direct attacks. What’s more, one Submarineroid can gain the buff from "Megaroid City" during its attack, swapping ATK and DEF for a powerful 1800-point hit.

A trio of Submarines like this could deal up to a terrifying 3400 direct damage in a single turn. Ignore defense, straight to the face—not even a god can stop it.

Marik’s Life Points were already down to 2200. At this rate, he didn’t have to worry about Lava Golem’s burn; the Submarines alone could end him right here.

"But Inferno Reckless Summon isn’t done yet," Kira said. "The ability to gather three monsters at once is powerful, but such power comes with risk.

The cost is that your opponent must also choose one monster on their field and Special Summon as many cards with the same name as possible from their deck."

Marik paused.

Choose a monster on your own field and Special Summon as many copies as possible...?

He hesitantly looked up, hardly believing what he was seeing—there was only one monster on his field.

And that monster, the burning iron goofball, was innocently pointing at itself, staring right back at him.

Who else could it be but Lava Golem?

Marik: "...!"

So, do I have to summon more of this thing from my deck?

What a joke!

One Lava Golem burns you for 1000 LP every standby phase. Two would burn 2000 every turn.
