Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 1201

Chapter 1201: Chapter 1201: Majestic Red Dragon

"You’re starting to show some kingly presence again," Kira nodded with a smile. "Seems you’ve finally recovered from the pain of being dethroned."

Jack: "Shut up!"

"Alright, I’ll let it go." Kira reminded him, "But, you just summoned ’Red Dragon Archfiend’, ’Majestic Dragon’, ’Jester Confit’, and ’Majestic Red Dragon’—four total.

Lord of Phantasms Raviel’s effect: whenever the opponent Normal, Special, or Flip Summons a monster, you Special Summon a ’Phantasm Token’ in Defense Position.

So for each summon, one more ’Phantasm Token’ in defense."

[Phantasm Token, DEF 1000]

Jack shot back. "Doesn’t matter how many extras you have! I told you, I’ll crush them all with the Power of the Absolute King!"

Jack slapped another card down.

"Spell Card: ’Card Destruction!’ Every player discards their hand to the Graveyard, then draws the same number!"

Crow: "Ooh, nice! Jack’s targeting that guy’s ’Shimmering Scraper’, right?"

Jack snorted, "As if I, Jack Atlas, would just run headlong into a trap unprepared!"

Kira laughed. "Oh, really?"

Yet everyone knew: in the original series, the King rushed into traps constantly, pure wild style.

But, sure. If he says so, Kira won’t argue.

"At this moment, I chain to ’Card Destruction’." Kira displayed a monster from his hand. "I discard ’Lord of Phantasms Raviel – Shimmering Scraper’ from my hand—its effect activates!

When discarded, the on-field ’Lord of Phantasms Raviel’s ATK doubles!"

As his monster hit the Graveyard, Raviel’s power surged, roaring with blue flames erupting from its claws.

[Lord of Phantasms Raviel, ATK 4000 → ATK 8000]

"Shimmering Scraper’s effect also triggers during your opponent’s turn, Jack," Kira smiled. "Did you forget?"

The "Card Destruction" effect resolved, everyone discarded and redrew.

Jack grunted, "Of course I knew! Watch now—the King’s absolute reversal!"

He raised his right arm, shouting, "Activate ’Majestic Red Dragon’s effect!

Once per turn, I target one monster on your field—their effect becomes null, and Majestic Red Dragon absorbs their ATK, boosting itself by the same amount—

Power Boost!!!"

Majestic Red Dragon’s power went off, its body now like a black hole, hungrily pulling in energy. Raviel’s body dulled, its power drawn out as streams of red particles—like blood—coursed into the Majestic Red Dragon.

[Majestic Red Dragon, ATK 4000 → ATK 12000]

Crow gasped in awe, "Twelve thousand ATK!"

All five Signer marks had gathered upon Jack, and this newly forged Majestic Red Dragon—incarnate of the Crimson Dragon—had the unrivaled strength to tip the battle in a single strike! That’s why Jack forced the discard using ’Card Destruction’: if he let Kira boost Raviel during the battle phase after Jack absorbed its "normal" strength, then they’d just tie at 8000 and nothing would be resolved.

But by forcing him to act early, Jack could absorb the stronger Raviel, and win outright!
