Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 454

Chapter 454: Chapter 453: Cause of Death—Suicide (Bonus)

King of the Beasts, summoned again!

[King of the Beasts, ATK 2500]

In his mind, Kurozaki quickly calculated and thought about his options.

If he had his Beast Striker crash into Amazoness Swords Woman now, he’d only take 350 points of damage—totally manageable.

But if this attack goes through, and the Amazoness Swords Woman is dealt with, the opponent’s field would be empty. If King of the Beasts’ attack connects, it’d be a massive 2500 points of damage, enough to completely turn the tables.

After a brief thought, he decided it was worth it.

And there was another reason.

The more he looked at that Amazoness Swords Woman standing there, the angrier he got. Even if he had to take some damage himself, he needed to take her down, otherwise he’d feel this pent-up frustration in his chest.

Screw it, let’s go!

"Beast Striker, attack ’Amazoness Swords Woman’!"

Kurozaki, having made it this far, was always ruthless. Now, with his anger flaring, he was determined to go all out, eyes red with fury, looking like he was ready to fight to the death.

"So this is what a real veteran looks like," Kira said admiringly. "Charging forward without fear, facing pain and death head-on with courage."

"Exactly! A real man shouldn’t fear blood, nor hold anything back in a duel!" Kurozaki declared, chest up and proud. "A little injury is nothing!"

"Amazing, truly amazing."

Kira clapped in praise, then casually waved his hand.

"Well, let me add some fuel to your fire, so you can burn even brighter!

Activate Trap Card, ’Massivemorph’. Double the ATK and DEF of one monster on your opponent’s field."

Kurozaki, who was just showing off his manliness, suddenly froze, the fire in his eyes instantly extinguished and replaced by fear.

Double the opponent’s monster’s attack?

Who lets their opponent smoke a cigarette mid-duel?

But at this point...

"I’ll double the ATK of the attacking ’Beast Striker’!"

[Beast Striker, ATK 1850 → ATK 3700]

Beast Striker’s body swelled rapidly before their eyes, its frame doubling in size, now towering over Amazoness Swords Woman like a mountain.

ATK 3700—stronger than the legendary Blue-Eyes White Dragon! 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

But holding such power, Kurozaki felt no joy, only the urge to cry.

Dammit.

With 3700 ATK, if he hits Swordswoman, he’ll take 2200 points of reflected damage.

And he only has 2200 LP left.

One hit back, and even the world’s greatest detective would only be able to conclude, looking at his mangled corpse, that this was a suicide.

Gritting his teeth, Kurozaki struggled: "Activate set card, Trap Card ’Alchemy Cycle’!

Set the original ATK of all my monsters to 0!"

[King of the Beasts, ATK 2500 → ATK 0]

[Beast Striker, ATK 3700 → ATK 0]

Equivalent to crippling himself to survive.

With that, the once-mountainous Beast Striker shrank rapidly, until it was like a harmless chihuahua, looking up pitifully at the suddenly-taller Amazoness Swords Woman.

She casually swung her sword. Sword light flashed, and Beast Striker was sliced in two.

"Uwah!"

[Kurozaki, LP 2200 → LP 700]

Barely clinging to life, Kurozaki still spat blood and was sent flying, rolling twice on the ground.

A quick-witted underling rushed to help: "Boss!"

"Boss, are you alright?"

"Get lost!"

Kurozaki shoved the guy aside and struggled to his feet.

His LP was now a candle in the wind, and the most infuriating thing was that none of his lost LP this duel was from the opponent’s attacks—it was all self-inflicted, including just now, when he dropped his own monsters’ ATK to zero and self-destructed.

On the scene, it still looked like suicide.

"When a monster affected by ’Alchemy Cycle’ is destroyed in battle and sent to the graveyard, I draw a card from my deck," Kurozaki said coldly.

"Sorry, you can’t," Kira cheerfully pointed to his back row. "With ’Amazoness Onslaught’ on the field, any opponent’s monster that battled an Amazoness monster is banished instead of sent to the graveyard."
