Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 585

Chương 585: Chapter 585: Infinite Night Assailant

Kaihara Ryusuke suddenly seemed to understand, and a trace of fear appeared on his face.

"'Night Assailant' returns a Flip Effect monster from the Graveyard when sent there. And 'Night Assailant' itself is a Flip Effect monster.

So, 'Night Assailant A' in the Graveyard activates to retrieve 'Night Assailant B', and 'Night Assailant B' activates to retrieve 'Night Assailant A'."

Kira explained, revealing both cards at once.

"So I can return both 'Night Assailant' cards from the Graveyard to my hand."

"And I just used 'Magical Stone Excavation' to retrieve a second copy of itself from the Graveyard."

"So now I activate 'Magical Stone Excavation' number two from my hand, discarding those two just-retrieved 'Night Assailant' cards as the cost, to return 'Magical Stone Excavation' number one from the Graveyard."

Kira showed the two 'Night Assailant' cards in his hand, then discarded them to the Graveyard. A burst of golden light shimmered in the Graveyard as the first 'Magical Stone Excavation' returned to his hand.

"And, since I activated another Spell Card, 'Rapid-Fire Magician's' effect triggers again. Every time I activate a Spell Card, you take 400 points of damage."

By this point, not only Kaihara Ryusuke, but everyone watching from the dark web market understood.

Infinite LOOP! 1

'Magical Stone Excavation' A and B recover each other, providing Kira with infinite Spell Card "ammunition." The two 'Night Assailant' cards recover each other, serving as an infinite cost to activate the Spell. Finally, 'Rapid-Fire Magician' converts the loop into direct damage—400 points per cycle.

This guy just pulled off an infinite FTK loop on his first turn.

FTK—a first-turn kill—is so rare that most duelists have never seen it, especially one involving an infinite loop. Everyone was stunned.

Isn't this guy invincible? You never even get a chance to play!

Indeed, this was a brutal loop. Later, Konami would limit 'Night Assailant' to one copy and change the text so it couldn't recover itself, breaking the combo. But back then, there were no such restrictions, and it was the perfect pair with 'Magical Stone Excavation.'

Kaihara's face darkened, but he didn't surrender. He revealed a card, and said in a deep voice:

"I discard 'Hanewata' from my hand. This turn, all effect damage I take becomes zero. This effect can be activated in your turn as well." 2

He sent the monster from his hand to the Graveyard, and the Hanewata appeared on the field, blocking the damage from 'Rapid-Fire Magician.'

"Oh? You have something like that?" Kira's eyes lit up.

A rare hand trap indeed—even he hadn't seen it before.

"Alright, since 'Hanewata's' effect is in play, I'll stop looping for now."

Kira shrugged.

"But, the two 'Night Assailant' cards I just discarded still activate, returning each other to my hand.

Next, I activate the Spell Card 'One Day of Peace'—both players draw a card, and until the end of the next turn, all damage becomes zero." 1

Both players drew a card.

"Then I set a card and end my turn."

Kaihara wiped the sweat from his brow.

He had heard Revolver was dangerous, but he didn't expect him to be this dangerous. If he'd been careless, he would have lost instantly on turn one. He realized now: this might be the most terrifying opponent he'd ever faced.

"My turn—draw!"

Kaihara took a deep breath.
