Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 188

Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Drawber

"Creature Swap?!"

Damon’s face darkened.

"That’s right. I choose my ’Mystic Tomato’ to give you." Kira smiled. "And you have no choice but to give me your only monster."

"Tch...!"

Damon, grim-faced, chose his only monster: ’Despair from the Dark.’

The demon crossed over to Kira’s field; the little Tomato hopped over to Damon’s.

"Battle Phase," Kira said. "’Ryu Kokki,’ attack ’Mystic Tomato.’"

Ryu Kokki surged forward, its skeletal fist crushing the Tomato. The little Tomato exploded in a burst. Damon shielded himself, his sturdy frame taking the hit.

[Damon, LP 4000→LP 3000]

"At this moment, ’Mystic Tomato’s’ effect activates. When destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, I Special Summon a DARK monster with 1500 or less ATK from my deck."

Syrus, the underachiever, was surprised: "Huh? But Tomato was destroyed on the other side—shouldn’t the opponent search their deck?"

Chumley explained, "At resolution, Mystic Tomato is in its original owner’s graveyard, so Kira gets the search."

"Oh, I see." Syrus glanced at Chumley. "Even you knew that..."

He looked around at the others and suddenly realized—he was the only noob here.

"According to Mystic Tomato’s effect, I Special Summon ’Don Zaloog’ from my deck."

[Don Zaloog, ATK 1400]

Damon scowled. "You used Creature Swap to make me take the damage, but you still get to search your deck?"

"And now, ’Despair from the Dark’ attacks directly," Kira said.

Chumley: "Nice, if both attacks land, Kira will win!"

Alexis was less optimistic. "But will it be that easy?"

Sure enough, Damon declared: "Trap Card—’Draining Shield!’ Your attack is negated, and I gain LP equal to the attacking monster’s ATK!"

A glowing barrier appeared. The demon’s heavy punch was absorbed.

[Damon, LP 3000→LP 5800]

As expected, he used his trap to block the highest-ATK monster.

"Then Don Zaloog attacks directly."

Don Zaloog drew his gun, and fired twice—one shot pierced Damin’s chest, the other shattered a card in his hand.

"Ugh!"

[Damon, LP 5800→LP 4400]

"Don Zaloog’s effect: when it inflicts battle damage, the opponent randomly discards a card."

Damon glanced at the card his hand now displayed with a bullet hole through it, then chuckled.

"Heh, too bad. The card your monster hit is the one I just drew."

He revealed it.

"Spell Card—’Card of Compensation.’ When sent from the hand to the Graveyard, I draw two cards!"

"Again, the effect works against him..." Syrus frowned. "This guy’s draw is something."

Jaden rubbed his hands. "This is getting interesting—I want to duel him too."

Kira: "I set two cards and end my turn."

"At this moment, I activate my remaining set card!"

Damon’s Trap flipped.
