Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 894

Chapter 894: Chapter 894 – The Professor at Full Power

Crowler: "Special Summon ’Ancient Gear’!"

A small mechanical gear appeared on the field. Tiny metal arms extended from either side of the gear; with its stubby hands pushing against the ground, it clanked forward step by step.

[Ancient Gear, DEF 800]

"The effect of Ancient Gear: If you already control ’Ancient Gear’, you can Special Summon this card from your hand in Attack Position."

Crowler revealed another card from his hand.

"So I Special Summon a second ’Ancient Gear’ from my hand!"

The second Ancient Gear slapped down onto the Duel Disk and likewise quickly rose upright.

[Ancient Gear, ATK 100]

"Then I tribute my two Ancient Gears!"

Crowler raised his arm high, holding aloft his very soul and ace monster.

"Advance Summon, Level 8—

—Ancient Gear Golem!!!"

Crowler’s ace monster, virtually his personal emblem, his soul card. The moment that card was placed in the Monster Zone, the entire field began to quake. Ancient gears meshed together; mechanical parts clanged and chimed with a strangely pleasant metallic ring. It was as if a steel fortress were rising from the ground. Two massive mechanical hands thrust out from the fortress, bracing against the earth, and an age-worn iron colossus lifted its body, a single red eye gleaming with a razor-sharp light.

[Ancient Gear Golem, ATK 3000]

"He summoned Ancient Gear Golem on the very first turn!" Syrus cried.

Chazz nodded. "Professor Crowler really is going all-out this time."

Crowler knew full well that facing the Lord in Yellow meant he couldn’t afford the slightest carelessness. And this Duel involved fate itself, so he was attacking at full power from the very start.

Besides, he more or less understood Kira’s style.

The Lord of the Underworld—specializes in using countless traps to interfere with the opponent and drag them into an inescapable abyss.

But Crowler’s lips curled upward into a Pot of Greed-style grin.

Ancient Gears are made to fight in the underworld!

All Ancient Gear monsters share a key trait: when they attack, the opponent cannot activate Spell or Trap Cards until the end of the Damage Step. That lets them partially shut down many common traps.

In this Battle Royale format, all three players count as separate sides. Next, it was Professor Bonaparte’s turn.

"My turn, draw!"

Compared to Crowler, Professor Bonaparte’s side looked rather plain.

"I Normal Summon ’Toy Soldier’!" (Anime card)

A little soldier in an old-European-style red uniform appeared. It looked like a life-size toy, holding a toy rifle shaped vaguely like a brass trumpet.

[Toy Soldier, ATK 800]

"Then I Set one card and end my turn," Bonaparte said.

Crowler was displeased. "What’s that, ending so simply? Sure, the opponent’s a student, but he’s also the Duel King. You think you can win like that?"

"Shut up!"

Bonaparte snapped.

"In a first turn of a Battle Royale, no one can attack. Blowing half your hand just to summon your ace right away is completely pointless!"

"What did you say?" Crowler roared. "Are you trying to teach me how to Duel?"

Hands on his hips, Bonaparte shot back, "I’m just stating the truth—your level’s still too green."

Crowler rolled up his sleeves. "Looks like I’ve let you off too easy all this time, you little stump. You really think I can’t beat you to a pulp, none?"

Bonaparte met him head-on. "Bring it on, who’s afraid of you, Pot of Greed?"

Onlookers: "..."

Jaden scratched his head helplessly. "Sure looks like getting these two to cooperate is going to be tough."

"Well then, if both professors are done, it’s my turn." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
