Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 459

Chapter 459: Chapter 458: Darkness in Crisis

"Armageddon Knight, Summon!"

A red-masked swordsman in armor appeared on his field, twirling his sword skillfully as he landed.

[Armageddon Knight, ATK 1400]

"Armageddon Knight’s effect: when summoned, I can send any DARK monster from my deck to the Graveyard!"

Dark Atticus reached for his deck.

It’s a direct, powerful effect—an enduring staple in DARK decks. And the Red-Eyes family is all DARK, a perfect fit.

But—

"Hold it."

Kira interrupted Dark Atticus’s search, calmly flipping a set card and pointing at his backrow.

"I activate the Continuous Trap ’Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror.’ As long as it’s face-up, all effects of DARK monsters activated on the field or in the Graveyard are negated."

Dark Atticus froze, then looked up at Kira’s trap.

A huge magic mirror appeared, reflecting the knight’s image. Dark energy was sucked from the knight into the mirror, sapping his strength. Armageddon Knight dropped to one knee, powerless.

Dark Atticus: "..."

—Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror is basically the DARK version of ’Light-Imprisoning Mirror.’ Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Red-Eyes Black Dragon are the light and dark dragon icons. If Light-Imprisoning Mirror means "White Dragon must die," then this one is "Black Dragon must die."

His search action stalled. He looked at his now-useless knight, then at his all-DARK deck.

His mouth twitched.

He felt like this duel was unwinnable.

"What’s wrong?" Kira squinted. "Surely the mighty Mr. Nightshroud can handle a single trap card?"

Surely your whole deck isn’t dead to just one card, is it?

Dark Atticus gritted his teeth. "Battle. ’Armageddon Knight’ attacks ’Gravekeeper’s Guard’!"

Though its effect was negated, the knight’s stats remained. The guard tried to block, but the knight nimbly pierced his throat.

"End turn," Dark Atticus said gruffly.

"My turn, draw."

Kira swept his hand.

"I activate both set ’Good Goblin Housekeeping’ Traps. Each lets me draw cards from my deck equal to the number of ’Good Goblin Housekeeping’ in my grave plus one, then return a card from my hand to the bottom of the deck."

"You’ve got no Good Goblin Housekeeping in your grave," Atticus said.

"True, so I activate Quick-Play Spell ’Emergency Provisions’ from my hand," Kira replied. "I send both face-up Good Goblin Housekeeping to the grave, gaining 2000 LP."

Now, with both traps in the grave, he could draw six cards in total, and return two to the bottom of his deck.

[Kira, LP: 3600 → 5600]

With his LP replenished, Kira drew cards and returned two.
