Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 791

Chapter 791: Chapter 791: Falling into Darkness

"The strongest White Knight? Oh-ho, sounds impressive!"

Jaden looked excited.

But Gelgo felt offended.

What’s that supposed to mean—looking down on me? Think my ace of the White Knights is nothing to fear?

He snorted inwardly.

Time to show this cocky brat what’s what.

"Activate Spell Card ’Pot of Greed’—I draw two cards from my deck."

Gelgo drew two, then considered a moment.

"Next, Spell Card ’Card Destruction.’ Both players discard their entire hands, then draw two cards."

They both redrew. Gelgo’s lips curled into a cold smile.

As expected.

"First, Spell Card ’Heavy Storm’!" Gelgo barked. "Destroy all Spell/Trap cards in both back rows. Whatever your set card is—begone!"

A black storm rose. Jaden instinctively raised an arm to shield himself. His set card was whirled up and shredded to dust.

"Too bad. The card you destroyed was the Trap ’Dummy Marker,’" Jaden grinned. "When this card is destroyed by an opponent’s Spell effect, I draw two cards from my deck." (Anime card)

Jaden drew two.

"One of your set cards got destroyed too. Shame."

Gelgo snorted.

"Don’t you worry. The set card I lost has its use. The one destroyed was..."

He held up the Trap that had just been sent off.

"Trap Card ’Sealed Gate’!"

The card art was a pure blank white—nothing at all.

"When this card is destroyed and sent to the GY: banish one each of ’White Knight Swordsman,’ ’White Knight Lancer,’ and ’White Knight Gardna’ from your GY!

Then Special Summon the strongest White Knight—’White Knight Lord’—from your deck!"

"Ohh, so that’s how you bring out your ace!?" Jaden looked thrilled. "So that means the ’Card Destruction’ just now discarded..."

"Correct. I discarded another Gardna and Lancer, completing the materials.

I banish a Gardna, a Lancer, and a Swordsman from my GY—now appear—

—White Knight Lord!!!"

A blinding white radiance burst from the Trap, as if a sealed gate were shattered by light. The Lord in white armor strode forth with boundless majesty, as though the entire domain had fallen under the dominion of white light.

[White Knight Lord, ATK 2000]

"So that’s the ace." Jaden rubbed his hands. "Looks strong indeed."

"And summoning the Lord was a Special Summon; I haven’t used my Normal Summon yet," Gelgo said. "I tribute my last on-field ’White Knight Swordsman’ for a Tribute Summon!

The ancient dragon that floats in the air driven by lightning—now appear—

—Wattaildragon, summon!"

Azure lightning gathered, as if forging a dragon’s body from lightning itself, descending with overwhelming presence onto his field.

[Wattaildragon, ATK 2500]

"And with that, my last ’White Knight Swordsman’ also goes to the GY," Gelgo said coldly.

"I have two ’White Knight Swordsman’ in the GY. Each increases the ATK of all ’White Knight’ monsters on the field by 300!"

[White Knight Lord, ATK 2000 → ATK 2600]

"Your back row defense is gone. Now let darkness be erased by the light! White Knight Lord, attack ’Evil HERO Lightning Golem’!"

The Lord slashed. The steel body of the lightning HERO split open, black thunder crackling as the golem exploded.

[Jaden, LP 4000 → 3800]

"In addition, for each monster destroyed by battle by White Knight Lord, inflict 300 damage to your opponent!"

[Jaden, LP 3800 → 3500]

"Then Wattaildragon!" Gelgo continued. "Direct attack!"

Blue lightning rained down like a barrage, tearing through Jaden’s field with rolling thunder and leaving several smoking craters.

[Jaden, LP 3500 → 1000]

"I set one card and end my turn," Gelgo smiled. "See? This is the knight of light—White Knight Lord!

Darkness can never triumph over light. No matter how deep the night, dawn will come. Your evil HERO cannot defeat the knights of light!"

Jaden: "..."

Uh-oh. The more he said, the more I feel like I’m the villain.

Actually, there’ve been times I felt like the bad guy already.

When did that start?

Jaden reflected.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been hanging around Kira too much...

Forget it, not important. Villain, then villain.

"My turn. I draw!"

"Activate Spell Card ’Card of Adversity.’ If your opponent controls a Special Summoned monster and you control no monsters, draw two cards from your deck."

Jaden smiled.

"The strongest White Knight—pretty impressive. Then I’ll use this.

I activate Polymerization!

I fuse ’Elemental HERO Necroshade’ and ’Elemental HERO Wildheart’ from my hand! Fusion Summon—

—Elemental HERO Necroid Shaman, in Defense Position!"

[Elemental HERO Necroid Shaman, DEF 1800]

Gelgo snorted: "A HERO of that caliber, and in Defense..."

But with Jaden’s LP low, his choice of position did matter.

"Necroid Shaman’s effect: when Special Summoned, you can tribute one monster your opponent controls," Jaden said, wagging a finger with a smile. "Then Special Summon one monster from your opponent’s GY to their field." (Anime effect)

Gelgo: "!"

NANI?

Tribute my monster, then dig up my grave?

Your HERO didn’t even need to go dark to be this dark!

But...

Jaden: "I tribute ’White Knight Lord’!"

Necroid Shaman tried to cast his ritual. A transparent whirlwind rose at the Lord’s feet.

But the Lord snorted disdainfully and stomped. The whirlwind dissipated instantly, leaving nothing.
