Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 67

Chapter 67 - 67: Cowardice May Be Shameful, But It Works

"End Phase, Infernal Dragon's drawback activates."

Yuichi said sullenly.

"During the End Phase of a turn in which it attacked, this card is destroyed."

As he finished speaking, Infernal Dragon exploded into shards.

"But Infernal Dragon has another effect: when destroyed, by tributing a monster on your field, you can Special Summon it from your graveyard.

I tribute my trap monster, 'Swamp Mirrorer', to revive Infernal Dragon!"

The swamp monster disappeared as tribute, and Infernal Dragon immediately returned from the graveyard.

[Infernal Dragon, ATK 2000]

"My turn, draw."

Kira glanced at his new card and immediately set it on the field.

"I set a card.

Now, Megaroid City's other effect! Once per turn, destroy another card you control (other than itself) to add a 'roid' monster from your deck to your hand."

He pointed to the card he'd just set.

"I destroy my set card to search a 'roid' monster."

The set card exploded in golden light, and a card shot from his deck. Behind Kira, a huge domed metallic facility appeared.

"The card I destroyed was the Trap Card 'Wonder Garage'. When this set card is destroyed and sent to the grave, Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Machine monster from your hand." (anime effect)

The anime version allows any Level 4 or lower Machine; the real card only allows a 'roid'. But for Kira, it made no difference.

"So, I Special Summon 'Mixeroid' from my hand!"

[Mixeroid, DEF 2200]

Yuichi pouted. "This thing again..."

"Now, Mixeroid's effect! Once per turn, tribute a Machine monster to Special Summon a non-WIND 'roid' from your deck.

I tribute Mixeroid itself—"

Mixeroid disappeared as tribute, and the Duel Disk auto-searched his deck and ejected a card.

"I Special Summon—Level 8, Super Vehicroid - Stealth Union!"

A white jet burst from the vortex left by Mixeroid, rapidly transforming like a Transformer into a heavy white robot, landing on the field with a thud.

[Armoroid, ATK 2700]

"2700 ATK!"

Yuichi was shocked, immediately activating his last card.

"Activate Trap! Bottomless Trap Hole—when a monster with 1500+ ATK is summoned, destroy and banish it!"

A bottomless abyss opened, swallowing the just-summoned Armoroid, and blasting it to pieces.

Spectators: "A Level 8 monster, gone in an instant..."

"Yamamoto isn't easy to deal with either."

Misawa folded his arms, frowning, but stayed silent.

Kira noted Yuichi's last back row was now gone.

So, it was a Bottomless trap hole after all.

But now all obstacles were cleared—the formula for victory was ready.

On the surface, it looked like the 2700-ATK Armoroid was the deck's ace monster, but actually, it was just a trap-baiting pioneer for the real boss.

"Now I normal summon the 'roid' monster I just searched with Megaroid City—"

Yuichi's eyelid twitched.

He'd been focused on the Garage-Summoned Mixeroid and the big monster it brought out and hadn't noticed. Now he remembered—City's effect lets you search any 'roid' monster. With an opponent like this, what would he search...?

"Normal Summon 'Submarineroid', in attack position."

Just as expected!

Seeing that annoying little sub jump onto the field again, Yuichi almost wanted to scream at it.

See! I knew it! I just knew it!

[Kira, LP 4000 → LP 2000]

Four 'roid' monsters' images merged into one Mixeroid, whose mixing drum spun ever faster until it burst into golden light and rumbled— _{freewёbnoνel.com}
