Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 782

Chapter 782: Chapter 782: The Advent of Relinquished

"My turn, draw."

Pegasus stood up straight; his expression showed he was completely serious now.

"I activate the Spell Card ’Card of Sanctity’."

Pegasus revealed the card he drew.

"Both players draw until they have six cards in their hands." (Anime Effect)

Both players drew from their Decks.

"Next, I activate the Ritual Spell ’Pre-Preparation of Rites’!" Pegasus said. "Add 1 Ritual Spell from your Deck to your hand, then add 1 Ritual Monster listed on that Ritual Spell from your Deck or GY."

"Rituals?" Joey quickly made a connection. "Masaka (don’t tell me)..."

"Precisely that ’Masaka.’"

Pegasus chuckled, pulled out his Deck from the Duel Disk, fanned it in his hand, and quickly picked out a card to add to his hand.

Yes, indeed: as the father of Duel Monsters and President of Industrial Illusions, Pegasus still used an old-style Duel Disk without KaibaCorp’s new auto-search and auto-shuffle features.

But Pegasus was always a nostalgic man. In fact, back in the Pyramid of Light movie era, when Duel Disks were already widespread, Pegasus refused to use one and stuck with his old bulky duel field device—earning him Kaiba’s "old fossil" jab.

Even his current Duel Disk was something he only recently started using.

"From my Deck, I add the Ritual Spell ’Black Illusion Ritual’ and the Ritual Monster ’Relinquished’ listed on it to my hand."

"So it’s coming... Relinquished?" Joey went on alert.

Relinquished—of course he hadn’t forgotten. Back then, it even forced Yugi into a corner and left deep psychological shadows on the young crew—an early NTR demon.

He knew this was Pegasus’s ace among aces—something he brought out only against opponents he felt even his Toons could not handle.

"I activate the Ritual Spell ’Black Illusion Ritual’!" Pegasus said. "By tributing monsters from my hand or field with a total Level of 1 or more, I Ritual Summon ’Relinquished’ from my hand!

I tribute ’Toon Dark Magician Girl’ on my field!"

The Toon spellcaster girl covered her eyes in fear, then was swallowed by roiling darkness.

Green light lanced from the mist of darkness; a colossal, mysterious altar seemed to rise in the void. Sharp claws like blades from the abyss, a massive body set with a single green-glowing eye, like a gaze from another dimension, exuding unspeakable dread.

[Relinquished, ATK 0]

"There it is—Relinquished." Joey grit his teeth. "The monster that once even left Yugi helpless..."

"Hahaha, good—you still remember that fear," Pegasus smiled. "Let me refresh your memory!

Relinquished’s effect: once per turn, it can absorb 1 monster your opponent controls as an Equip Card, and gain that monster’s ATK and DEF!"

Pegasus swept his hand proudly.

"The crystallization of your friendship—Archfiend Black Skull Dragon—will be mine!"

Relinquished’s green eye slowly opened. Then surged an overwhelming darkness, an intangible black fog. Even a monster as strong as Archfiend Black Skull Dragon couldn’t resist. Even its inextinguishable flames seemed to dissipate into the dark, until it was completely swallowed and vanished.

When the flames rekindled, they were on the other side of the field.

Archfiend Black Skull Dragon had been absorbed into Relinquished.

[Relinquished, ATK 0 → ATK 3200]

"But Relinquished only absorbs ATK—it doesn’t get monster effects!" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
