Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 1180

Chapter 1180: Chapter 1180 — Breaking Attack and Defense

"Falcon’s effect, 500 damage!"

The departed Falcon’s ghost flared above the Librarian, spreading its wings and diving toward Kira, striking head-on at his Duel Runner.

[Kira, LP 4000 → LP 3500]

"Then I set two cards face-down and end my turn."

It was a textbook open. Synchro the Librarian on turn one to tee up later plays, burn for chip damage, and shield himself with a twin backrow — offense and defense perfectly balanced.

He’d left no opening.

Come, King of the Other World.

Antinomy’s heart burned. He might be a Savios from the future, but above all — a duelist. Facing a mighty opponent, especially one who represented the pinnacle of another dimension, set his soul aflame.

Let me see what it means to duel as a King!

Kira:

"My turn, draw."

Speed Counters: 2.

Kira glanced at his hand, barely hesitating, then selected three cards in quick succession.

"I set three cards face-down and end my turn."

Three cards appeared before him — center, left, and right — flashed into view, then vanished.

Antinomy was stunned.

End turn?

Did he hear wrong?

No monsters, no development, not even a hint at offense.

Is this how Kings duel in your world?

He didn’t say it aloud, but if he had, Kira would have agreed:

Yeah, that’s how it is. Problem?

Not just me — like I said, there’s someone above me in my dimension, and he might do the exact same thing: set three and pass. It’s the culture.

Despite his doubts, Antinomy continued.

"My turn, draw!"

He glanced at Kira’s backrow.

Three sets — maybe he just bricked and drew no monsters for plays?

He suppressed the thought immediately.

No, at this level, "bricking" isn’t an issue. Z-ONE already said the man was a true King, and had gone further than Antinomy himself on the path of Duel Kings. For someone at this level, "dead hands" simply don’t happen.

In other words, those three face-downs were definitely part of a trap.

"But that won’t stop me from attacking head-on!"

"I activate Speed Spell — ’Angel Baton!’

I can only activate this with two or more Speed Counters. Draw two cards, then discard a card."

Antinomy drew, then pitched one to the Graveyard.

At that very moment, Kira’s side responded:

"I activate my face-down — Continuous Trap, ’Appropriate!’
