Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 1016

Chapter 1016: Chapter 1016: Silent Magician Zero

Level 13!

It was as if she had broken through the ceiling, reaching a new world above the limit. Many might think the highest level for a Duel Monster is 12 stars — anything above that is beyond the rules, impossible.

But that’s not true.

Level 12 is just like 5000 attack points — merely the visible ceiling.

Just as the Five-Headed Dragon’s 5000 attack points seem to be the highest printed on a monster card, but with changing times, Five-Headed Dragon has become "not even worth being called a wall."

Although the base attack limit is 5000, with card effects and monster abilities, it’s not hard to push beyond. With enough buffs, even infinite attack is possible under the rules — 5000 is just a base limit.

Same goes for levels. Level 12 may be the highest printed, but it’s not the rules’ upper limit. With enough effects, you could have a 100-star king and it would still be legal.

"Silent Magician Zero’s effect — attack increases again as her level rises!"

[Silent Magician Zero, ATK 4000 → ATK 5500]

Now evolved back to her mature form, Silent Magician spun her staff, a powerful aura swirling around her, unleashing a transparent cyclone.

"Wow, evolved Silent is so cool!" Jaden cheered. "She’s both beautiful and powerful — she even suppressed the Wicked God!"

Yubel scoffed, "Tch, what’s so great about that?"

Jaden laughed awkwardly: "Ahaha, of course, Yubel, you’re amazing too." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Yubel: "Who needs your half-hearted flattery."

She turned away, arms crossed.

Jaden: "..."

On the other side, the Avatar snorted heavily, glancing at the defeated Eraser behind him: "Useless trash — can’t even handle a magician.

Wasted the evolution chance on you, and it’s all for nothing!"

Eraser was indignant — as if the others weren’t just as vulnerable. Magic is a divine monsters’ weakness; only the Winged Dragon of Ra in Phoenix mode has immunity. All gods, high or low, are affected by spells for one turn.

It’s not just me that’s weak to magic, so why am I the only one scolded...

Still, he could only bow his head and take the blame, admitting his incompetence and failing to fulfill his big brother’s leadership.

He had no choice — after all, he was the weakest of the trio, always the designated scapegoat when they lost team fights.

"Useless!"

The Avatar spat again, his gaze toward Kira growing colder.

The Winged Dragon, then the Shining Sarcophagus, now this Silent Magician’s spirit... He saw more and more of those Pharaoh and vessel shadows from the past in this man.

No way... Is it another of those accursed Pharaoh duo...

No, impossible.

The vessel is one thing, but the Pharaoh is long gone — it has to be so.

They would not lose again, would not forever live in the Pharaoh’s shadow.

This duel was also a desperate battle for the three brothers — no more defeat!

"My turn! Draw!"

The Wicked God roared, his draw stirring a tornado of darkness, the pressure vast as Mount Everest.
