Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 916

Chapter 916: Chapter 916 — Terror Incarnate

"Gladiator Beast Augustus, summon!"

A bird-beast Gladiator draped in darkness—bearing an ancient king’s name—descended amidst a storm of black wind. Its pitch-black armor looked like it had been tempered a thousand times on forgotten battlefields. On its broad wings gleamed avian talons.

Yubel’s expression sank. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Special Summon from the Deck after battle... so that had been the true purpose of the battle just now?

But even knowing that Yubel couldn’t be destroyed by battle—and would reflect battle damage—he still insisted on bringing out a high-level monster like this.

Something was off.

"Effect of Gladiator Beast Augustus: when this card is Special Summoned by the effect of a ’Gladiator Beast’ monster, I can Special Summon 1 ’Gladiator Beast’ monster from my hand in Defense Position."

Kira played another card from his hand.

"Special Summon ’Gladiator Beast Murmillo’ from my hand!"

A Sea Serpent-style Gladiator warrior—one of the most common low-level Gladiator Beasts—appeared as a blue vortex of water erupted like a fountain. The blue, fish-bodied gladiator dove onto the field, twin turbines behind it spinning at full speed.

[Gladiator Beast Murmillo, ATK 800]

"Murmillo’s effect: when this card is Special Summoned by the effect of a Gladiator Beast monster, destroy 1 face-up monster on the field." Kira snapped. "Destroy ’Yubel’!"

The turbines roared, and a high-pressure water blast fired straight at Yubel!

Yubel understood immediately—and smiled.

"I see. Right: I can’t be destroyed by battle, and battle damage reflects. But if you destroy me by effect, you can deal with me cleanly. That’s what you’re thinking, right?"

She snorted, her smile widening.

"But will it really be that simple?"

Boom!

The water blast hit Yubel head-on. She exploded on the spot, shattered into fragments by the surging torrent.

But Yubel did not leave the field.

As the smoke and spray cleared, something larger took her place—a more massive silhouette.

Yubel had completely lost her humanoid shape, transforming into a demonic dragon: two dragon heads, long necks, a blood-red single eye opening in the center of her chest, and blade-like claws for hands and feet.

Yubel — Terror Incarnate, summon!

With the Terror Incarnate’s descent, the pressure and aura erupting from Yubel’s core surged dramatically!

"Yubel — Terror Incarnate can only appear when the ’Yubel’ on my field is destroyed by a card effect!"

Even Yubel’s narration had changed—no longer a feminine voice, but a heavy, unnatural blend, as if male and female overlapped.

[Yubel — Terror Incarnate, ATK 0]

"Ten years—ten full years—the torment I endured, the pain I suffered, is beyond anything you can imagine!" Yubel roared in that distorted voice. "But you think that’s all? Compared to what came after, that pain was nothing!

The true torment is being unneeded—being abandoned—being hated! And what that darkness becomes... is this ultimate demonic form!"
