Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 262

Chapter 262: Chapter 262: "He’s Not Human!"

The deck Kira was using this time wasn’t the Monarch Control build that won the world championship—he only had a single Monarch, "Raiza the Storm Monarch", so he couldn’t do a full-blown Monarch build.

Instead, he used another powerful top-tier deck from back then, formed soon after Raiza was released: Wind Raiza. The deck’s name came from its two core cards: "Raiza the Storm Monarch" and the trap "Phoenix Wing Wind Blast".

So clearly, this was a top control deck specializing in returning the opponent’s cards to the top of their deck.

Anyone who’s faced this kind of tactic knows how infuriating it is. It’s bad enough in real life; in an anime world overflowing with lucky topdecks, it’s even worse.

Just look at the guy across from him—he looked like he was about to burst out crying...

Kira discarded a card to his Duel Disk’s Graveyard.

"So, I discard a card and return your ’Darkstorm Dragon’ to the top of your deck again."

Delta’s eyes bulged with rage.

He was down to his last card in hand, and it wasn’t anything that could save him in this situation. With Darkstorm Dragon bounced to the top of his deck, even if he survived the next turn, all he could do was draw Dark Storm Dragon again next turn, and then he’d be stuck with two cards in hand he couldn’t use.

Which brings to mind that famous meme—

—Omae wa mou shindeiru.

There are those who are alive but are already dead.

Is this really the end?

Delta struggled to raise his head, looking at Kira, who now seemed to tower infinitely in his eyes, an insurmountable mountain—an embodiment of fate itself.

Maybe the opponent was right.

This card, fated to be bounced to the top of the deck, was his destiny. No matter how hard he tried, everything he did was futile, nothing but a pointless struggle.

In the end, he couldn’t change anything, just as next turn he’d be forced to draw "Darkstorm Dragon" again.

"I’m sorry, Father."

He closed his eyes, unconsciously.

But his opponent was too strong.

With his eyes shut, the image of the man appeared before him again.

Still expressionless, still silent. But even so, those eyes felt like cold steel knives, hacking into his heart.

The pain brought him back to his senses.

"No, it’s not over yet."

He opened his eyes again, his old promise echoing in his ears.

"I will never let you down."

He was the best among all the children, the one his father pinned all his hopes on, the most special one. He couldn’t fail.

"Chain to ’Phoenix Wing Wind Blast’—activate my set card! Quick-Play Spell—"

"—Spell Textbook!" (Anime card)

Kira frowned.

Wait, wasn’t that... an anime-only card?

"Discard all cards in your hand to activate it."

Delta discarded his hand to the grave and said in a low voice:

"Draw the top card of your deck. If it’s a Spell, you can activate it immediately, ignoring costs. If not, send it to the graveyard."

Oh—Kira remembered now. The card Yami Yugi used in the Battle City arc, when Kaiba’s Obelisk attacked Slifer. Yugi discarded his hand, then topdecked "Card of Sanctity", instantly boosting Slifer’s power to 6000, stunning Kaiba.

Now, this was indeed Delta’s last chance. If he waited for "Phoenix Wing Wind Blast" to resolve and "Darkstorm Dragon" got bounced to the top, and then played Spell Textbook, he’d just draw Dark Storm Dragon—not a Spell—and be finished.

This was Delta’s true last-ditch gamble—betting everything on one final draw.

"Interesting." Kira squinted slightly.

Could an artificially-created AI, even one with unbreakable fighting spirit, topdeck like a real duelist?

Once this effect resolved, Delta would have an empty field and no cards left.

Delta looked at his deck, put his hand on the top card, and closed his eyes.

In darkness, his father’s image appeared again.

"..."

"—Draw!"

Delta drew, and raised the card high.

"Spell card—"

"—Dragon’s Mirror!"

Kira raised an eyebrow.

Damn, he actually drew it!

"Dragon’s Mirror effect: by banishing Fusion Material monsters from my Graveyard, I can Fusion Summon a Fusion Monster!"

Delta shouted as five cards slid from his Graveyard.

"I banish ’Tyrant Dragon’, ’Exploder Dragon’ and ’Wish Dragon’ discarded by Graceful Charity, ’Frost and Flame Dragon’ destroyed last turn, and ’Troop Dragon’ I just discarded for Spell Textbook—five dragons in total!"

Five dragons appeared, swirling into a fusion vortex.

A vortex of earth, water, fire, wind, and darkness erupted into a column of light. A divine dragon spread golden wings and descended, mighty enough to blot out the sky! 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"The strongest, most evil fused dragon in the world, breaking through fate itself—"

"—F.G.D., Five-Headed Dragon, summon!!!"

[Five-Headed Dragon, ATK 5000]

The highest basic stats in Yu-Gi-Oh!, the original five-monster fusion—Five-Headed Dragon appears!

Kira looked up at the mighty dragon, feeling a pressure from the swirling elements. While the Five-Headed Dragon is often joked about by players as "paper dragon", its presence as a Duel Monster is still impressive.

"Five-Headed Dragon, direct attack!"

Delta nearly roared at the top of his lungs.
