Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 785

Chapter 785: Chapter 785: Relinquished Tightens the Noose

"Relinquished’s effect!" Pegasus called out, laughing. "Absorb Red-Eyes Black Dragon!"

Anime Relinquished has no limit on total absorbed monsters, only once per turn, and it stacks the ATK of all absorbed monsters. Each time it would be destroyed by battle, it can use an equipped monster as a shield instead.

Truly offense and defense in one—Pegasus’s proudest self-printed ace.

Once it gained Red-Eyes’s power, his Relinquished would be unstoppable!

"Not so fast!" Joey cut in. "I activate my set card!

Continuous Trap ’Dimension Gate’!"

His backrow flipped. The moment the Trap activated, a massive blue dimensional vortex appeared on his field. Its powerful pull caught Red-Eyes, attempting to draw it in. The deep blue tide looked like it led to some unknown beyond.

"Dimension Gate’s effect: When it activates, I can choose one face-up monster I control and banish it!" Joey said. "I choose Red-Eyes Black Dragon!"

"Oh?" Pegasus narrowed his eye with interest. "So you’re giving up your ace to dodge me—are you that afraid of Relinquished?"

He knew exactly what Joey was doing. The monster banished by Dimension Gate wasn’t completely gone; when the Continuous Trap left the field, the monster would return.

And when the opponent declares a direct attack, a face-up Dimension Gate can send itself to the Graveyard to revive the banished monster.

Relinquished’s effect can only activate in the Main Phase, not in the Battle Phase. So Pegasus would have to attack into Joey’s empty field, and Joey would resummon Red-Eyes as a shield.

Then either Pegasus would attack into Red-Eyes and destroy it, or go to Main Phase 2 to absorb it, either way Joey survives the turn.

"Heh, as a defensive tactic, not bad. But..."

Pegasus’s smile turned cold.

"You’re still too green!"

He swept his arm; his backrow responded.

"Quick-Play Spell ’Mystical Space Typhoon’!" Pegasus revealed it. "Destroy one Spell/Trap on the field.

I’ll destroy the Continuous Trap ’Dimension Gate’!"

A black squall engulfed the vortex, pitch lightning crashing down. The Gate was obliterated.

"While Dimension Gate can revive the banished monster when it goes to the Graveyard, as a Continuous Trap, if I destroy it before its effect resolves, it won’t bring anything back."

Pegasus sneered.

"So its effect won’t resolve. It’s simply destroyed."

"NANI?" Joey flinched.

Damn Pegasus—so troublesome he even shut down the banish-escape route...

"Hahahahaha—"

Pegasus laughed triumphantly.

"Nice struggle, Joey-boy, but accept reality! Red-Eyes is mine!"

Joey’s defense was broken; Red-Eyes was absorbed into Relinquished. After one unwilling roar, Red-Eyes was swallowed by the churning black mist, its cry cut off. Like a marionette with strings severed, it became part of Relinquished’s power.

"This is truly the end... But to die by your soul’s Red-Eyes and your camaraderie’s Black Skull Dragon together—there’s honor in that.

Rest in peace, Joey-boy."

Pegasus closed his eye, paused mysteriously, then smiled coldly.

"And then, be reborn as an emissary of Light."

"What?" Joey frowned.
