Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 518

Chapter 518: Chapter 518: Even the God of Gamblers Can’t Escape

In fact, it wasn’t just this dimension. Judging by what the original story showed, the twelve dimensions under the Supreme King’s rule were all desolate, most looking as if they had just been ravaged by war, the populace in misery.

"The Supreme King’s Castle probably isn’t in this dimension," Kira said.

Both the anime and the Field Spell "Supreme King’s Castle," which recreates the show, made it clear the castle wasn’t in a desert like this, but in a darker dimension.

Kira tried asking their humanoid GPS, the Vampire Fraulein.

She popped her head out at the summons, but as soon as she did, her face went pale and she quickly shrank back into the Deck.

"What is it?" Kira blinked.

"...The heat," came her voice from the Deck.

Kira paused, then glanced up at the blazing sun overhead and understood.

Right—Duel Spirit or not, she was still a vampire.

Under such a scorching sun in the desert, this dimension must be a living hell for her kind.

"This isn’t a dimension I’m familiar with anymore, I’m sorry, Master," she said softly. "I can’t help much from here on."

Kira nodded to show he understood.

Jaden asked, "So what now?"

"Back to the old method," Kira said.

The old method being, of course, grabbing a lucky passerby to ask directions.

Hearing that, Jaden’s eyes lit up. "Great, great—then this time let’s agree in advance: I get first dibs on the duel!"

After their experience in the previous dimension, Jaden had fully adapted to how the Spirit World worked. Before you could ask for directions, you naturally had to duel.

But he’d also noticed that every time they got to that point, he somehow got edged out of the opening. Kira would chat with the other side and, before Jaden realized it, the duel would be underway. By the time he remembered to call dibs, the cards were already on the table.

So Jaden had learned his lesson: they had to agree beforehand; otherwise, with Kira around, he might never get a duel in this lifetime.

Kira laughed. "Sure, you go first."

In the Spirit World, there were few opponents Jaden couldn’t beat. Letting him handle a few roadside grunts was no problem.

Just then, they heard the rapid drumming of hooves not far away. Following the sound, they saw a line of sand like a golden ribbon surging toward them. As it drew near, it turned out to be a squad of spirit cavalry riding chocobos, all armored and bearing the unmistakable look of the Supreme King’s troops.

Jaden’s eyes lit up. "Here we go!"

They had just said "let’s duel," and challengers arrived—like a pillow delivered to a dozing man. Jaden was delighted, raising his Duel Disk to start, but Kira lifted a hand to stop him.

"Not yet," Kira said. "Let’s hear what they say."

The squad quickly closed in and pulled their chocobos to a halt. The leader was a skull-headed figure in armor and a cloak. He eyed the two of them curiously.

"Soldiers of our army? Just the two of you?" the skull asked. "What are you doing out here... Lost from the main force? Which unit are you with? Who’s your commanding officer?"

Jaden froze, not knowing how to answer. But Kira smoothly replied, "We serve under the Dark World Knight, Zure. We were ordered to attack the Vampire Citadel, but we were ambushed and got separated from the main army."

"Zure’s men, eh?" The skull nodded in understanding. "Zure and I have always gotten along—we’re of the same kindred. Come along with my unit for now. Once we finish up here, I’ll take you back to the stronghold."
