Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 550

Chapter 550: Chapter 550: The Anti-Shadow Riders Squad

"Ugh..."

Don Zaloog collapsed to his knees, hands supporting him on the ground, gritting his teeth.

He lost.

But this wasn’t just an ordinary duel loss.

Losing a duel wasn’t new to Don Zaloog, but losing to himself was a first.

What was even weirder was that this guy had boasted about showing them the "true power of the Dark Scorpion Burglars."

At the time, Don Zaloog almost laughed out loud—

—What, do you know the burglars better than I do?

He almost said, "If you know the burglars so well, why don’t you be the boss and I’ll be your underling."

Now he was glad he hadn’t said that.

He really did seem to know the burglars better!

Wait.

Are our burglars really this disgusting?

Don Zaloog had never dreamed he’d one day be made sick by his own card.

The Dark Scorpion Burglars’ effect: when they inflict battle damage, the opponent sends a spell card from their deck to the graveyard.

It’s a mandatory effect; as controller, he couldn’t even choose not to activate it. And the spell card sent is chosen by the opponent, so in a way, it’s just a method for the opponent to mill their own spells.

Of course, compared to monster and trap cards, sending spells to the grave is relatively low-risk. In the current meta, spells make up the smallest proportion of graveyard effects. But that didn’t change the fact that this was a trash effect.

Honestly, Don Zaloog would never admit it, but even he thought their five-man burglar card sucked.

They never imagined their own card could be used in such a twisted way.

Give the burglars to the opponent, then help yourself mill three Jackpot 7s.

Just how much hatred would you need to scheme such a dirty combo against your opponent?

After a while, Meanae said quietly, "The good news is, we didn’t know we were this strong."

"And the bad news?" Chick asked instinctively.

"Isn’t it obvious?" Meanae glared at him. "The bad news is, he knows the Dark Scorpion Burglars even better than we do."

"..."

"Forget it." Don Zaloog sighed. "Not only did we lose—we lost to ourselves.

Even using the same deck, this guy’s dueling skills are far above mine. I don’t think I’ve ever lost so convincingly in my life."

There’s probably no defeat more convincing than this.

"My only regret is letting you all down." Don Zaloog sighed. "So many years, so many enemies, so many duels.

Every time, you all entrusted your lives to me without hesitation, never doubting.

I’ve thought before, what if one day I slipped up... lost, and dragged you all down with me?"

"Big Brother!"

Meanae’s eyes reddened.

"Looks like today’s that day." Don Zaloog gave a bitter smile. "I really am a lousy leader.

No matter how much I act tough, at the end of the day, I’m just this kind of duelist. I’ve let you all down."
