Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 603

Chương 603: Chapter 603: Is That Thing a Spellcaster Too?

"I take control of 'Alchemist of Black Spells'!"

With a grand gesture, Depre commanded. The small Eva Abductor let out a screech, emitting a wave that captured Kira's spellcaster, yanking it over like a puppet.

"But any monster controlled by Abductor must act in sync with the Abductor," Depre said.

This was another of those manga-style, abstract effects—hard to describe in standard card game terms. But based on how it played out in the manga, it meant the controlled monster had to share the same position (attack/defense) as Eva Abductor, and if either the Abductor or the controlled monster attacked, the other had to attack too.

"Alchemist of Black Spells, switch to Attack Position!" Depre ordered.

[Alchemist of Black Spells, ATK 1200] 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Battle!" Depre shouted. "First, Alchemist of Black Spells, direct attack!"

Under the control of the waves, the Alchemist of Black Spells charged straight at Kira with no choice.

Kira calmly revealed a card: "I discard 'Sphere Kuriboh' from my hand. Its effect activates. 1

When the opponent declares an attack, I can send this card from my hand to the graveyard to change the attacking monster to Defense Position."

The round, fluffy Sphere Kuriboh popped onto the field, showing a fierce expression.

"Kuri kuri!"

Kira: "Change Alchemist of Black Spells to Defense Position."

The spellcaster, under the Abductor's control, ran straight into Sphere Kuriboh and instantly lost its energy, switching from attack to defense and squatting down obediently.

"Eva Abductor's effect means it must match the monster it controls," Kira added evenly. "So Abductor also switches to Defense Position and can't attack."

[Eva Abductor, ATK 1000 → DEF 500]

"Tch." Depre clicked his tongue.

He'd been stopped with just one Sphere Kuriboh, using his own Abductor's effect against him, blocking the two-step attack.

"Then I set a card and end my turn," Depre said gloomily.

He suddenly remembered—the previous Duel King had a fondness for Sphere Kuriboh too.

"My turn, draw."

Kira slapped down a monster card.

"I summon 'Magical Exemplar.'"

[Magical Exemplar, ATK 1700] 1

"Then I activate my set card," Kira said, flipping his backrow. "Spell card 'Spell Power Grasp.' Place a Spell Counter on any card I control that can hold one.

I'll add a counter to the Continuous Spell 'Arcane Barrier.'"

[Arcane Barrier, Spell Counters: 2 → 3]

"And with Magical Exemplar's effect: whenever a Spell Card is activated, it gains two Spell Counters."

[Magical Exemplar, Spell Counters: 0 → 2]

"Also, 'Spell Power Grasp' lets me add a third copy from my deck to my hand."

Kira drew the searched spell from his deck.

"Next, I activate the Ritual Spell 'Black Illusion Ritual'!" Kira declared. "Tribute monsters whose total Levels are at least 1 to Ritual Summon 'Relinquished!'" 2

A ritual altar appeared, and the tribute offered was Sphere Kuriboh.

Depre was startled: "Wait, Sphere Kuriboh should already be in the graveyard—"

"Sphere Kuriboh's other effect: when used for a Ritual Summon, you can banish it from the graveyard as a substitute for a tribute.

So I banish Sphere Kuriboh from the grave as the Level 1 tribute. Ritual Summon—

—Relinquished!!!"

A sinister shadow swept the field as the eerie Relinquished appeared, its single eye glinting maliciously.

[Relinquished, ATK 0] 1

"Pegasus's monster!?"

Depre was alarmed, but quickly calmed himself and shouted,
