Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 187

Chapter 187: Chapter 187: A Little Swap

"Duel!" x2

[Kira, LP 4000]

[Damon, LP 4000]

"I’ll go first, then. Draw."

Kira revealed a card from his hand.

"I activate the Spell Card ’Card Destruction.’ Both players discard their hands and draw the same number of cards."

Damon discarded his hand and chuckled. "So your starting hand was bad? Well, sometimes that happens. But if your skill isn’t up to par, changing hands won’t solve anything."

He drew five new cards.

"That’s not your concern." Kira smiled and drew a new hand.

With his new five cards, he quickly picked one.

"I activate the Spell Card ’Delinquent Duo.’ Pay 1000 LP, randomly discard one card from your opponent’s hand, then your opponent chooses and discards another."

[Kira, LP 4000→LP 3000]

Discard two cards?

Damon frowned. "So, since you’re not confident in beating my draw power, you’re aiming to cripple my hand?"

"Discard the third card from the left," Kira said casually.

Damon complied and picked another to discard. The Twin Devils snatched away two cards.

"Then I set a monster and set a card to my back row. End turn." Kira said.

The spectators began to speculate about Kira’s strategy.

"A hand destruction deck, right? I think I’ve seen Kira use that before," Chumley said.

Alexis nodded. "Cutting off the opponent’s strategy before it forms—that’s very Kira. If Damon has trained up some super draw power, then this is the right way to test it."

Jaden muttered, "Darn, if I’d spoken up earlier, I might be dueling now..."

Syrus sweatdropped. "Big bro, you’re still thinking about that?"

Damon declared: "Trying to mess with my hand to disrupt my draw? It won’t work against the fruits of my training!

My turn—draw!"

"At that moment, I activate my set card." Kira flipped his Trap. "Trap Card—Drop Off. The card you just drew goes straight to the Graveyard."

"There it is, Kira’s Drop Off!" Syrus said. "No matter what he draws, it’s useless now..."

"Is it, though?"

Damon grinned.

"Let me show you all the secrets of my draw training!

The card I drew is ’Despair from the Dark’!"

He sent the monster card to the Graveyard and revealed it.

Despair from the Dark—a fiendish-looking Zombie monster, with a hellish, demonic design. In GX, Chazz used it; it even appeared in Vrains as a relevant old card.

"Whenever ’Despair from the Dark’ is sent from hand or deck to the Graveyard by an opponent’s effect, it can be Special Summoned!

So, I Special Summon ’Despair from the Dark’! Appear!"

A hellish flame exploded, conjuring a phantom demon: purple-black claws, a twisted grin, and abstract horns.

[Despair from the Dark, ATK 2800]

"He drew ’Despair from the Dark’!" Syrus gasped.

Alexis was just as stunned. "Was it just luck that he drew the perfect card for Drop Off? Or maybe..."

"Hahahaha! I told you; my draw is invincible now!" Damon declared confidently. "Bring your best tactics—my draw will overcome anything!
