Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 166

Chapter 166 - 166: Chief is Tired

At that moment, Chief Takahashi was utterly bewildered.

What was happening?

Why did her ace betray her? What happened to their unbreakable bond?

Kira, ever helpful, explained cheerfully from the sidelines: "No worries, chief, it's just Natasha's special effect—she'll just borrow your ace for the duel. You'll get her back afterward."

Chief Takahashi: "..."

She figured it must be some monster effect, but this explanation sounded so wrong, like "I'll give her back once I'm done enjoying her."

Alexis: "Ahem, sorry, chief. 'Cyber Angel - Natasha's' follow-up ability: when she's special summoned by her effect, you gain control of one of your opponent's monsters."

"I see."

Chief Takahashi forced herself to stay calm.

But she couldn't help glancing at the new Ritual Angel on the opponent's field.

Cyber Angel - Natasha.

How to put it?

Impressive, yes.

But the art style was a bit... off compared to her previous impression.

"Now for Natasha's first effect: once per turn, I can select a monster I control and gain LP equal to half its ATK," Alexis said.

"I choose the borrowed 'Cyber Blader'! Also, Cyber Blader has a special effect..."

Chief Takahashi remembered: "Cyber Blader gains different effects depending on how many monsters the opponent controls. If there are two monsters, her ATK doubles."

"That's right," Alexis replied. "Since the chief still has Idaten and Tutu on her field, Blader's ATK doubles!"

[Cyber Blader, ATK 2100 → ATK 4200]

[Alexis, LP 4500 → LP 6600]

The experts watching all perked up—the chief's ace being used to heal the opponent was quite a show.

Some started to jest.

"Whoa, 6600 LP! That Duel Academy girl is impressive!"

"The chief's Blader sure is handy."

Chief Takahashi: "..."

"Now for 'Cyber Tutubon' in my hand," Alexis revealed another card. "This card can be special summoned by tributing a Warrior or Fairy monster from hand or field.

I tribute 'Cyber Angel - Natasha' on my field to special summon 'Cyber Tutubon'!"

Natasha, just revived, again dissolved into golden light, and a dancer in a little ballet skirt appeared.

[Cyber Tutubon, ATK 1800]

"Next, I activate the 'Machine Angel Ritual' I just retrieved with Idaten! I tribute 'Cyber Angel - Idaten' and 'Cyber Tutubon' on my field as Ritual material.

With the power of light illuminating the path ahead, the angel of light descends—

—Level 8, Cyber Angel - Dakini!!"

[Cyber Angel - Dakini, ATK 2700]

"Idaten's new effect: if tributed, all my Ritual Monsters gain 1000 ATK!"

[Cyber Angel - Dakini, ATK 2700 → ATK 3700]

"A jump to 3700 ATK..." Chief Takahashi commented. "A strong new effect indeed."

"Also, 'Cyber Tutubon's' effect: if used as Ritual material, I can retrieve a Ritual Spell from my graveyard."

Alexis showed the Ritual Spell she retrieved once again.

"Another Ritual Spell recovery."

"You can do that again?" Chief Takahashi was shocked.

She could tell now—this newly enhanced Cyber Angel deck had much better resource cycling than before.

"And Dakini's effect," Alexis continued. "When Ritual Summoned, your opponent must send a monster from their field to the Graveyard."

Chief Takahashi remembered this effect and, without hesitation, chose one of her remaining monsters.

"I send 'Cyber Angel - Idaten' to the Grave."

Idaten turned into golden light and vanished into the Graveyard.

"You didn't choose the lower-ATK Tutu..."

As a fellow Cyber deck player, Alexis's gaze went to the opponent's back row.

She had a guess what that set card was.

"Now, I banish the just-tributed 'Cyber Angel - Idaten' from my grave, and activate 'Cyber Angel - Natasha' in my grave!

Natasha special summons herself, and I gain control of sensei's 'Cyber Tutu'!"

Chief Takahashi was even more shocked: "You can activate it again? Is there no limit to this effect?"

"That's right. As long as Natasha is in the graveyard, there's no restriction on how many times you can use this per turn," Alexis said. "So, I take control of 'Cyber Tutu'!"

She still had a chance. _{frёeωebɳovel.com}
