Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 586

Chương 586: Chapter 586: Never-Ending

'Magical Stone Excavation'—activate again!

Everyone now knew what would happen: two 'Night Assailant' cards recycle infinitely, 'Magical Stone Excavation' activates infinitely, 'Rapid-Fire Magician' burns infinite life points.

Spectators couldn't help but feel relieved they weren't the ones getting destroyed. If they'd had to suffer this kind of mental torture—especially in a Shadow Duel—even if they survived, they'd probably be traumatized for life.

But Kaihara Ryusuke wasn't done yet!

"Counter Trap—'Magic Jammer'!" Kaihara shouted. "I discard a card to negate and destroy a Spell Card. 1

Your 'Magical Stone Excavation' is negated!"

The audience cheered.

"Nice move, boss!"

Even though 'Magical Stone Excavation' could recycle itself, negating just one broke the loop. No infinite recovery—no infinite ammo. Without it, 'Rapid-Fire Magician' could only do 400 damage per card, nothing to fear.

"Now your chain is broken." Kaihara sneered. "Impressive combo, but I bet that was your deck's strongest move, right?" 1

Indeed, for most decks, an infinite loop combo is the core strategy. Once broken, the rest of the cards lose much of their power.

But that's in most cases.

"Yeah, it's a bit of a headache having it negated. Manager, you're really good."

Kira shrugged.

"But, even though the activation was negated, I still discarded two 'Night Assailant' as the cost. So their effects activate, returning each other to my hand."

Kaihara watched Kira recover the two cards, unfazed.

Without the engine, what could he do?

"I activate the Spell Card 'Dual Gate.' By banishing this card and a copy in the Graveyard, I draw two cards." 1

One copy is banished from the graveyard, then Kira draws two cards.

"'Rapid-Fire Magician's' effect—400 points of damage."

[Kaihara, LP 3200 → 2800]

Kaihara didn't care about such minor damage anymore.

"Then I Normal Summon—Dark Crusader!"

[Dark Crusader, ATK 1600] 1

"ATK only 1600, and you're attacking?" Kaihara frowned.

He didn't mock the low attack—after that first turn, he felt an unnamed dread.

"Dark Crusader's effect: Discard a DARK monster from your hand, it gains 400 ATK."

Kira showed a card.

"I discard 'Night Assailant,' Dark Crusader gains 400 ATK."

Kaihara smiled. "That's only 2000."

"Then I activate the effect again, discarding another 'Night Assailant' for another 400 ATK."

Now Kaihara's expression changed.

"It's not once per turn!?"

"Exactly." Kira nodded. "And 'Night Assailant's' effect—you know the drill. When sent to the Graveyard, it recycles a Flip Effect monster.

I recover the first 'Night Assailant.'"

Kaihara's mouth twitched. The spectators' eyes went wide, jaws dropping.

"Discard the first 'Night Assailant,' Dark Crusader gains 400 ATK. Its effect triggers—recover another 'Night Assailant' from the Graveyard."

Kaihara: "..."

He was speechless.

Another infinite loop!?

Kaihara was shocked.

Three infinite loops in just two turns!

In his life, he'd only ever seen three infinite loops—all in this duel, in two turns, from the same opponent.

For this guy, infinite loops were as easy as eating or drinking.

The crowd was stunned. Those who had been too afraid to duel Kira earlier now felt lucky—that was the wisest decision they'd ever made. This Revolver was on a totally different level.

"Of course, after infinite loops, Dark Crusader's final ATK is…"

[Dark Crusader, ATK ∞]

Infinite attack!

Kaihara was numb.

It was his first time seeing infinite attack—on his opponent's side, no less.

"Dark Crusader, attack Orca Mega-Fortress of Darkness!"

Kaihara couldn't let that go through. An infinite attack would obliterate him.

Facing the crushing pressure, Kaihara shouted, barely keeping his courage up.

"I activate the Trap 'Security Orb'! When your monster declares an attack, it switches to Defense Position! 1

'Dark Crusader' to Defense Position!"

[Dark Crusader, ATK ∞ → DEF 200]

Forcing it to defense, the threat was neutralized. Kaihara could finally breathe.

"Blocked the infinite attack loop! Not bad!" Kira praised, smiling. "Then 'Rapid-Fire Magician' switches to defense too. Turn end."

"My turn—draw!"

Kaihara declared.

This Revolver—he was too dangerous.

He'd never experienced such an absurd duel. Every time his opponent acted, it was like dancing on a razor's edge.

This turn, he'd summon his ultimate ace!

"'A Legendary Ocean' effect—Level 7 WATER monsters in hand become Level 6. I tribute Orca Mega-Fortress of Darkness to Tribute Summon my signature monster,

----Levia-Dragon - Daedalus!"

The watery city churned, bubbles rising. The sea-blue dragon roared upward!

[Levia-Dragon - Daedalus, ATK 2600] 1
