Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 594

Chương 594: Chapter 594: Sacrifice Escape

"Draw five cards!"

Zigfried drew cards in one go, and Kira couldn't help but click his tongue.

Impressive, truly impressive.

Nibelung's Treasure: by equipping the "Nibelung's Ring" from the deck to an opponent's monster, you get to draw five cards yourself. A card-drawing engine worthy of the DM era.

So, as the cost for using this obviously broken fake card that lets you draw five at once, there must be some corresponding side effect for this "Nibelung's Ring," right?

Wouldn't it be reasonable if it doubled the opponent monster's attack and gave it immunity to everything?

But then Zigfried continued explaining.

"The effect of 'Nibelung's Ring' equipped to a monster on your field is: the monster equipped with this card cannot attack, cannot change its battle position, and its effects are negated!" 1

Kira contemplated.

Hmm, that's quite a side effect.

"But," Zigfried added, "the controller of the equipped monster can draw two cards during each of their Draw Phases. However, if any of the drawn cards are monsters, they must discard one monster card from among them."

That's the only part that sounds like a real side effect.

Letting the opponent draw an extra card each turn seems like a big concession. But having to discard a monster card actually helps them load their graveyard, which nowadays is more of a resource anyway.

But back in the DM anime days, things were different. Monster cards in the graveyard were only useful if revived, otherwise, holding them in hand was more reliable.

So, in the DM era, this overpowered Nibelung combo's benefits all went to the user, and the side effects were all eaten by the opponent. Even looking at all of DM, it's hard to find a faker card than this. 1

"Next, I tribute 'Valkyrie Dritte' on the field for a Tribute Summon!"

Zigfried raised a card in his hand.

"Level five, Valkyrie Zweite!"

It was the Zweite that had been shuffled back earlier.

[Valkyrie Zweite, ATK 1600]

"You haven't forgotten Zweite's effect, have you?" Zigfried said. "When this card is successfully summoned, destroy one monster on your opponent's field.

Destroy 'Catapult Turtle' for me!"

Zweite's sword energy slashed, the sword light cutting across the electromagnetic cannon on the turtle's shell, and the old turtle instantly exploded in a fireball.

"Now your field is clear again."

Mokuba murmured, "But Kira still has Drowning Mirror Force in his back row."

Of course, their opponent couldn't possibly not know that.

But even knowing, Zigfried didn't hesitate and shouted, "Battle! Valkyrie Zweite, direct attack!"

"Eh?" Mokuba was surprised. "You're attacking even though you know there's a trap?"

"Oh? Even knowing, you don't retreat and still charge into my Drowning Mirror Force?" Kira smiled. "Alright, I accept your challenge."

He pressed a button on his duel disk and waved his hand casually.

"Then I activate the trap 'Drowning Mirror Force'!

When a direct attack is declared, all opponent monsters on the field are shuffled back into their owner's deck!"

The Water Shield activated again. The Valkyrie's sword slashed into endless waves, swallowed up just like before, and was returned to Zigfried's deck.

"As expected."

Zigfried shouted.

"Then, Battle Phase ends, entering Main Phase 2.

I activate the Spell Card 'Swan Maiden.' Special Summon a Valkyrie monster from my hand. 1

Appear, level 7!

Valkyrie Brunhilde!"

Level 7, currently the highest-level Valkyrie to appear. Brunhilde had blue hair and armor, a silver longsword reflecting cold light, and rode a snow-white steed.

[Valkyrie Brunhilde, ATK 1800] 1

"Then I use the Spell Card 'Card of Heaven and Earth.' In a turn you performed an Advance Summon, draw two cards from your deck. But cards drawn can't be used this turn, and you must set at least one card before the end of the turn." (Manga card.) 1

"I see, you purposely triggered the trap to summon your ace." Mokuba said, "But that means the Battle Phase is over."

"Is that really so?" Zigfried sneered, showing off some style points.

Mokuba: "NANI?"

"I'll show you now, the Valkyries are warriors blessed by the gods and not bound by such mundane rules!" Zigfried shouted. "I activate the Spell Card 'Mischief of the Time Goddess!'

Skip an entire turn and go straight to my next Battle Phase!" (Anime effect.) 1

There it was, the Valkyrie deck's "never-to-be-printed" broken card twin to Nibelung. Except this thing betrayed its peers and made it into the TCG in an extremely nerfed form, while Nibelung remains forgotten.

The playful twin-tailed Time Goddess appeared on the field, winked, and with a wave of her staff, an entire turn was skipped, bringing Zigfried straight to his Battle Phase again.

"Go! Brunhilde, direct attack!"

The Valkyrie's steed charged, the sword light pierced straight through Kira. He staggered back half a step but stayed standing.

[Kira, LP 4000 → LP 2200]

Zigfried was invigorated.

Good, finally dealt some damage.

Hold steady and I can win!

"Set two cards, end turn."

"Used both Nibelung and Mischief in a single turn, you're really going all out."

Kira patted the dust off himself.

"Then I'll get a little serious on my side, too.

My turn, draw."

But before he could make any move, Zigfried shouted,

"Activate Set card, Trap Card 'Thunder of Ruler'! 1

This card can only be activated during your opponent's Standby Phase. Your opponent cannot attack this turn!"

"Ah, so you sealed my attacks too." Kira nodded. "So cautious."
