Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 246

Chapter 246: Chapter 246: The World of Pros Is Too Cruel

"According to Mystic Piper’s effect, since I drew a Level 1 monster, I drew another card from my deck."

Kira drew a card, then revealed another one from his hand.

"Spell Card: Hidden Armory!" Kira announced. "I send the top card of my deck to the graveyard, then add an Equip Spell from my deck or graveyard to my hand."

He drew the top card, glanced at it, then sent it to the graveyard. The duel disk automatically retrieved a card from his deck, which he took into his hand. The deck shuffled itself.

"I add the Equip Spell ’Wonder Wand’ from my deck to my hand."

"Searching for an Equip Spell..." Tomoki still couldn’t figure out what Kira was doing, but said, "Even if I don’t know your plan, you should know: as long as ’Metalsilver Armor’ is on the field, you can’t target any monster except ’Skull Archfiend of Lightning’ with effects.

That includes your own monsters, so even if you want to use Equip Spells, you can’t."

"Yare yare~, that’s a real headache," Kira acted troubled. "No wonder you’re a pro—you summoned such powerful monsters so quickly, and even sealed off my own effects."

"Exactly. This means I’ve locked down your options as much as possible. Too bad—after searching for an Equip, you can’t even use it," Tomoki said proudly.

"True. Well, I have no choice but to do this."

Kira sighed, slowly pulling out a card as if forced into a desperate move.

"Then, I tribute both of your monsters, ’Summoned Skull’ and ’Skull Archfiend of Lightning’, to Special Summon this powerful Level 8 monster to your field in Defense Position!

Awakened from the lava of the abyss, with the power of destruction and rebirth—

—Level 8, Lava Golem!"

Tomoki: "What the heck?!"

Next, he watched in shock as both of his powerful demons melted into the ground in a surge of lava, bubbling away. Then, a giant hand reached out from the magma, and a burning giant slowly pulled itself out, like a red-hot iron cage trapping Tomoki on his own field.

The burning giant rose up, turned its head, and seemed to meet his gaze—with what looked like a goofy grin on its abstract face.

It seemed to say, "Hello, nice to meet you."

[Lava Golem, DEF 2500]

Staring at this big goofball, Tomoki felt disoriented.

Wait a minute...

His invincible demon lock... broken just like that?

What’s worse, after Lava Golem took its place, it opened its mouth and burped out a puff of hot air, like it was burping after a big meal.

After eating two high-level fiends in one go, the iron golem contentedly patted its belly, as if saying "Thanks for the meal."

Tomoki: "..."

"Now, since its equip target is gone, ’Metalsilver Armor’ is destroyed," Kira smiled. "With that, the target lock is lifted.

Now, I activate the effect of Jester Confit in my hand—it can be Special Summoned in Attack Position directly from my hand."

[Jester Confit, ATK 0]

"I equip the Equip Spell ’Wonder Wand’ to my Spellcaster-type ’Jester Confit’. Its ATK increases by 500." Kira continued, "But Wonder Wand also lets me send both the Equip and the monster to the graveyard to draw two cards."

Tomoki frowned.

He was more convinced than ever: this guy was definitely searching for something.

"Quick-Play Spell—’The Flute of Summoning Kuriboh’!" Kira declared. "I Special Summon this card from my deck—

—Come forth, Winged Kuriboh!"

[Winged Kuriboh, ATK 300]

Tomoki’s heart was unmoved.

Oh, Kuriboh?

And then what? Are you going to kill me with Kuriboh?

He was calm now.

Even though losing his two ace monsters had rattled him, he still had a monster on the field with stats equivalent to Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Kuriboh was nothing but a weakling.

"I equip ’Opti-Camouflage Armor’, which can only be equipped to Level 1 monsters," Kira revealed another Equip. "The equipped monster can attack directly."

"Hmm?" Tomoki was still puzzled.

Oh, a direct attack, so impressive.

But with just 300 ATK, wouldn’t that be more humiliating than damaging?

"Under the cover of ’Opti-Camouflage Armor,’ Winged Kuriboh attacks directly!" said Kira.

Tomoki sneered: "Heh, that’s only 300 points."

"At this moment, I activate the Quick-Play Spell ’Berserker Crush’!" Kira declared. "Banish 1 monster from your graveyard, then target 1 "Winged Kuriboh" you control; that target’s ATK/DEF become equal to the ATK/DEF of the monster that was banished, until the end of this turn.."

"What?!"

Tomoki’s eyes widened.

That’s right, last turn, Magical Merchant dumped seven monsters into the grave...

"I banish ’Silent Magician LV8’ from my graveyard. Until the end of the turn, Winged Kuriboh’s stats become the same as Silent Magician—3500 ATK!"

[Winged Kuriboh, ATK 300 → ATK 3500]

"3500 attack?!" Tomoki’s face twisted.

Are you kidding me?

A Kuriboh with 3500 ATK and a direct attack!?
