Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 254

Chapter 254: Chapter 254: That Thing Again? (Bonus)

"Fujiki Kira is a completely unpredictable opponent," Alister muttered. "Even those so-called legendary duelists might not be this strong..."

"Of course!" Mokuba said, hands on hips.

"Looks like if I’m not careful, I’ll get wiped out," Alister smiled. "My turn—draw!"

He immediately played a card.

"I activate ’Spell Books from the Pot’—both players draw three cards." (anime card)

Alister drew, his eyes flashing.

"Equip Spell ’Premature Burial’—pay 800 LP to revive a monster from my grave!"

[Alister, LP 3200 → 2400]

"I revive ’Annihilator Archfiend’!"

Annihilator Archfiend’s effect: once per turn, destroy a card on each side of the field. Even revived, it’s a threat.

Kira: "I activate my set card—Trap Card ’The Transmigration Prophecy’! Target 2 cards in the Graveyard; shuffle those targets into the Deck.

I return your ’Annihilator Archfiend’ and my ’Lava Golem’ to our decks!"

"Oh, if the target of Premature Burial returns to the deck, Premature Burial loses its target and fizzles," Mokuba exclaimed. "Nice move, Kira!"

"Not so fast," Alister said, playing another card, "Quick-Play Spell ’Mystical Space Typhoon’—destroy a spell or trap on the field."

"Huh?" Mokuba blinked. "But even if you destroy an activated trap, its effect still resolves..."

"He’s not targeting ’The Transmigration Prophecy,’" Kaiba said calmly.

Indeed, Alister continued: "I’m destroying ’Amplifier’!"

"Ah!" Mokuba realized. "If Amplifier is destroyed, Jinzo’s effect once again applies to both players—so..."

"’The Transmigration Prophecy’ will be negated by Jinzo’s effect," Kaiba explained.

"That’s what you’re after," Kira said. "But Amplifier also has another effect—when it leaves the field, the equipped monster is destroyed."

A black whirlwind tore up the Amplifier, and a bolt of dark lightning shattered Jinzo, who exploded and left the field.

"So by the time ’The Transmigration Prophecy’ resolves, Jinzo is gone, so its effect isn’t negated."

As they spoke, both Kira and Alister’s graveyard zones glowed, and each card was returned to their decks and shuffled.

Alister had no choice but to take back Annihilator Archfiend and shuffle it in, causing Premature Burial to fizzle.

"Then, I use this card again," Alister said. "Quick-Play Spell ’Toy Robot Box’—discard a card to Special Summon three ’Robot Tokens’!"

[Robot Token, ATK 0] x3

"And the card I discard is ’Card of Compensation’—when sent from hand to grave, I draw two cards." (anime card)

He drew two and paused, his eyes narrowing and a slight smile appearing.

"It’s been five years since I last used this power..."

Kira raised an eyebrow—
