Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 967

Chapter 967: Chapter 967: The Pain of Powerlessness

"Wait for me, Yubel."

Jaden also activated his Duel Disk, speaking earnestly.

"We’ve been separated once before, when I didn’t understand anything. But now, I won’t let that happen again."

"Just as we promised, we’ll never, ever part again."

"Duel!" x2

[Jaden, LP4000]

[Yubel, LP4000]

"Then I’ll go first," Yubel said.

"My turn—draw!"

Yubel drew her card and immediately revealed one from her hand.

"Spell Card: Graceful Charity! Draw three cards, then discard two from my hand."

She discarded two cards to the graveyard.

"Then, I activate the Field Spell—Mausoleum of the Emperor!"

The scenery shifted, as eerie black mist swallowed the area. When it cleared, a long corridor appeared, leading to a throne, with clay soldier statues lining both sides.

"Mausoleum of the Emperor’s effect: Pay 1000 Life Points to substitute for a tribute when Tribute Summoning.

[Yubel, LP4000 → LP3000]

"I pay 1000 Life Points to replace a tribute for a Tribute Summon." Yubel declared, "With endless pain forged into a thorned armor, I now summon myself to the field—

—Yubel, come forth!"

Two clay soldiers soared from the pits, dissolving into light, which coalesced into a demonic form. Vast black wings spread, mismatched eyes gleaming coldly in the darkness.

Yubel, summoned!

[Yubel, ATK 0]

Like a fragment split from the original, even her gaze was as somber as her true self, full of unspeakable pain.

"Yubel..."

Jaden now recalled some of his past life, and had heard much from Kira. He knew the vows he and this spirit once made. Now, to meet again as enemies, swords drawn, brought him a deep sense of sorrow.

"Jaden, do you know what is the most painful thing for a guardian?"

Jaden paused.

"What?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"To have someone you must protect, something more important than your own life, but not the strength to protect them."

Yubel’s cold voice softened.

"To gain the power to protect, I was willing to pay any price, even the dearest things to me," Yubel said. "That’s why I became what I am now—why Yubel was born."

Jaden fell silent.

Fragments of memories from countless lifetimes flashed through his mind.

"Yubel, to protect the boy with the rightful dark power, you will need strength."
