Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 1017

Chapter 1017: Chapter 1017: Rest in Peace

"This turn, I’ll bury that magician!"

The Wicked God was already furious.

Of course, he hadn’t lost his mind. Even though their field was suppressed, there was still a chance—he still had ways to fight back.

"Darklord Contact! Special Summon ’Darklord Superbia’ from the Graveyard in Defense Position!"

Once again, the black, toilet-shaped Darklord that Kira thought looked odd flapped its blood-red wings and landed on the field.

[Darklord Superbia, DEF 2400]

Jaden said, "Then, Superbia’s effect can activate again from the Graveyard to revive another monster."

"As expected of a Darklord, immediately coming back to life," Kira smiled slightly.

"But it seems you still don’t know the story behind this Shining Sarcophagus."

The Wicked God was startled. "NANI?"

"The Shining Sarcophagus not only stands as proof of the Duel King’s three-thousand-year bond—but also as the casket that sends the departed to eternal rest.

The dead should sleep peacefully."

Kira waved his hand, and the Shining Sarcophagus radiated a dazzling light.

"The other effect of the Shining Sarcophagus: once per turn, when your opponent Special Summons a monster from the Graveyard, you can discard a Spell Card from your hand to return that revived monster to the Graveyard!"

Kira discarded a Spell Card and pointed at the freshly summoned Darklord on the Wicked God’s field.

"Return Darklord Superbia to the Graveyard!"

The sarcophagus burst with golden light, enveloping Superbia. The Darklord, who had only just returned, faded away and vanished.

Jaden: "It even has anti-revival ability. This Shining Sarcophagus is amazing..."

Jaden was simply amazed by the Sarcophagus’s powerful function, but Kaiba’s eyes flashed as he thought of something.

Back then, in the final turn of the Ceremonial Battle, wasn’t it just like this?

Atem used Monster Reborn to revive Slifer the Sky Dragon, attempting to make the final attack. But he didn’t know that Monster Reborn had already been sealed in the Shining Sarcophagus by Yugi, so Slifer’s revival failed.

The dead should rest in peace. That was exactly the message Yugi conveyed to Atem through his choice in the duel and through the Sarcophagus.

"Damn it."

The Wicked God looked more and more displeased at the Shining Sarcophagus, but gritted his teeth.

"But Superbia was sent to the Graveyard after being summoned, not negated. And Superbia’s effect activates the moment it is successfully summoned, allowing me to revive another Darklord from the Graveyard—other than Superbia itself.

I Special Summon ’Darklord Tezcatlipoca’!"

Another Darklord previously used as a tribute.

[Darklord Tezcatlipoca, ATK 2800]

"Then I Normal Summon ’Darklord Ukoback’!"

[Darklord Ukoback, ATK 700]

"Darklord Ukoback’s monster effect!" declared the Wicked God. "When this card is summoned or Special Summoned, I can send any ’Darklord’ card from my Deck to the Graveyard!"

Similarly, he could send any ’Darklord’ card—not just monsters.

And since higher-level Darklords can copy Spell/Trap effects from the Graveyard, this combination made the effect especially terrifying. He could send any Spell/Trap from his Deck, use its effect without cost, and even upgrade a normal-speed effect to Quick Effect, making it usable on the opponent’s turn.
