Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 805

Chapter 805: Chapter 805: Visiting Grandpa

"We won!"

Jaden flashed a cheerful victory sign.

"That was a fun duel!"

Though he said that, his opponent was currently sprawled on the floor, eyes rolled back, foaming at the mouth, body twitching now and then—clearly not sharing the sentiment.

Jaden didn’t mind.

It was a Shadow Game after all—losers always paid a price. But in this case, he was helping cultists trapped in darkness break free of their cult’s control through dueling; the unpleasant side effects were just part of the withdrawal process.

Oh wait, not quite—he almost forgot. Strictly speaking, he was aligned with darkness right now, and the enemy with light. If anything, his job was to help those brainwashed by the light return to darkness.

Eh, not important.

Point is, he was doing good deeds. Through happy dueling, no less.

So Jaden left the foaming Society member where he was and smiled at the rest.

"Who’s next?"

Everyone remaining flinched. As the boy’s gaze swept over them, they all instinctively ducked their heads and avoided eye contact, like bad students terrified of being called on in class.

"You?" Jaden pointed at someone at random. "Come on, duel!"

The man jolted and shook his head rapidly. "N-no no, I’m already enlightened!"

"Huh?" Jaden blinked.

The man hastily tore off his blindingly white uniform, balled it up, and hurled it to the ground, then stomped on it with visible loathing.

"Why was I even wearing this garbage? What was I doing before?"

Everyone behind him stared, dumbstruck for a few seconds.

Then, snapping out of it, they all followed suit—stripping off their uniforms and slamming them to the floor. Some stomped hard, some cursed the Society of Light for wasting their youth, and some even spat on it.

Jaden was stunned, blinking twice, at a loss for words.

Uh?

Where’s your faith? Where’s the guidance of light? Weren’t you ready to shed blood for the Cosmic Light?

While he stood confused, someone patted his shoulder from behind. Jaden turned and saw Kira.

"It’s over," Kira said.

Jaden started, then quickly understood.

No wonder the Society’s believers were flipping so fast, acting like they’d seen the light and turned over a new leaf. It looked like Kira had already eliminated the root cause, and the Light’s hold on them was rapidly fading—that’s why they were snapping out of it so quickly.

With that thought, Jaden finally relaxed.

Good. For a minute there he’d thought his dueling was so scary that the cultists woke up just to avoid playing him.

"That’s it?" Joey came around the corner and strode over to them. "It’s over already?"

He seemed a little unsatisfied, like he hadn’t gotten his fill.

Joey hadn’t fought much in recent years. He hadn’t entered tournaments for ages, nor faced strong opponents. After a sudden burst of high-intensity matches recently, his itch for cards had flared up.

"Looks like it," Jaden said, glancing toward where Kira had come from.

There they saw Mello, who had previously been riding high with a conqueror’s posture like he was about to rule the world. Now the filter had completely fallen off him; he sat slumped in a corner like a broken toy, muttering nonstop.

"No, you can’t—"

"Give it back. My light, my other half. I’m the chosen one, I must—I can’t..."

Joey, ever helpful, walked up to Mello.

"It’s okay now. You’ve escaped the Light of Destruction—you’re free."

Mello’s eyes were vacant as he looked up at Joey.
