Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh!?

Chapter 847: Chapter 820: The Final Draw

"Ugh!"

John raised his arm to shield himself, gritting his teeth as the Mammoth exploded into pieces on his field.

"Mammoth! Damn it, it actually took my most important family member..."

"I’m okay, John."

The Mammoth responded, though as it spoke, it had already turned into amber and returned to John’s backside of the field.

"But it’s fine," the Cyan Jade Pegasus comforted its teammate, "I now possess the power of Jade’s Liberation, that superior Secret Ceremony Power is no match for me..."

But almost as if to prove them wrong, the next moment, they heard Yugen smile and say: "The effect of the reversed Secret Ceremony Power 12 - Hanged Man activates at the end of each of my turns, to destroy one monster on the opposing field.

Afterwards, the opponent must receive damage equivalent to the destroyed monster’s attack power."

The Cyan Jade Pegasus, along with all the Jade Beasts, instantly turned to stone.

"Huh?"

"But before that, activate the Continuous Magic ’Level Restriction B Area’."

Yugen naturally revealed, once again, the Continuous Magic that had been bounced back to John’s hand last turn, as all monsters on the field reluctantly were forced into defensive positions.

"In the Level Restriction B Area, all monsters above four-stars must be set to defense mode." Yugen smiled, "Sorry, but it seems like you can’t attack again."

John: "..."

"Lastly, I’ll set a card, my turn ends." Yugen said nonchalantly, "At the end of the turn, Hanged Man’s effect activates.

Destroy ’Jade Beast - Cyan Jade Pegasus’ on your field, dealing you damage equal to Pegasus’s attack power—now 2600 points!"

Pegasus let out an unwilling cry, yet still exploded in the devastating force of the Hanged Man.

John: "Argh..."

[John, LP 3500→LP 900]

"Damn it..."

John couldn’t help but grit his teeth.

"Then, the effect of the Equipment Magic ’Jade’s Liberation’ attached to Pegasus.

When this card is sent to the graveyard from the field, place a ’Jade Beast’ from the deck onto your backfield.

Come forth, Jade Beast - Purple Crystal Cat!"

A beautiful purple crystal appeared on John’s backfield, the last remaining Jade Beast yet to enter the game.

Of course, the exploded Pegasus did not simply vanish, but transformed into a Cyan Jade gemstone crystal on John’s backfield, still speaking.

"It’s bad, John," the Sapphire Pegasus in its gem form said, "With the Hanged Man on the field, every end of its turn will see one of us destroyed, forcing you to suffer damage equal to our attack power."

Jade Turtle: "John’s Life Points are only 900..."

No one spoke further.

A family looked at each other, their gazes filled with helplessness and despair.

It’s likely John’s final turn.

This turn, his attack is sealed. Next turn, as soon as Yugen’s Hanged Man randomly destroys any of their field monsters, John will be finished.

Is this the Duel King’s duel?

This is just too... something.

From start to finish, it feels like they haven’t even touched the opponent—not in terms of Life Points, but in terms of their monsters. Can you believe a duel where you can’t even touch the opponent’s monsters?

Oh, wait, they touched the Fool. But now the Fool has become one of them... At least, visually, so it probably doesn’t count.

"How about it?" Yugen smiled, analyzing John, "Your obsession with the Rainbow Dragon, your fiery passion with the Jade Beasts, can they break through these thick barriers?" freewebnøvel.com

John took a deep breath, deep breath, then a deeper breath.

As if calming his emotions.

Then he raised his head, speaking determinedly.

"I don’t know."

"Oh?"

"I don’t know, because Mr. Yugen’s... strength truly exceeds my expectations. However..." John forcefully struck his chest, "I and my Jade Beasts will fight till the last moment, never giving up."

"Is that so?"

Yugen smiled faintly, saying no more.

"Perhaps I will fail, but regardless of victory or defeat, as long as I’m with my family..."

John glanced down at his deck, then at the Jade Beasts beside him, all sharing the same despair. The Jade Beasts also nodded to show that they were willing to fight with him to the end.

"My turn, draw!"

But before John could make a move, Yugen casually waved his hand.

"Impressive momentum, good, keep it up.

Activate the set card, Continuous Trap ’Death God’s Tour.’

Spin the card during the opponent’s preparation phase to gain its effects in reversed and upright positions.

In the upright position, the opponent cannot perform any summons, special summons, or flip summons this turn.

In the reversed position, I cannot perform summons, special summons, or flip summons next turn."

As this card appeared, everyone collectively inhaled sharply.

Regardless of the positive or negative effects, it’s lethal. At first glance, it seems the effect applies equally no matter which side it falls on. Yet on John’s field...

All gazes fell upon a specific monster on John’s field.

[Secret Ceremony Power 0 - The Fool, Defense Power 0]

John’s expression twitched slightly.

Wait, it can’t be...

"Naturally." Yugen said with a smiling gaze, "Due to the Fool on the field, I can freely choose the upright or reversed positions.

So what I’m choosing, of course..."

He snapped his fingers. The floating trap didn’t even pretend, it didn’t rotate at all, directly stopping at the upright position.

"Upright position effect." Yugen said cheerfully, "Now your monsters must all be in defense position, unable to switch to attack, and this turn, you can’t conduct any summoning, special summoning, or flip summoning.

Then, next turn, Hanged Man’s effect activates again, destroying any monster on your field and dealing damage... the game will be over."

Yugen squinted, observing the boy.

"How about it? Even in this situation, do you still have the passion to summon the Rainbow Dragon you’re so obsessed with?"

John: "........."

The Jade Beasts were speechless too.

The hot-tempered Mammoth even started signaling to John with its eyes.

Indicating maybe they should stop playing these cards and just go up and punch the guy instead?

It expressed never having seen such a punchable human in its life...

Even Beckas couldn’t help but twitch his mouth a few times.

Is Yugen seriously here to sabotage them?

Can this situation truly awaken the Jade God...

John took another deep breath.

Then clenched his fist.

"I said, I believe in my deck and my Jade Beasts, no matter when. Even if we lose, we’ll lose together."

John shouted.

"Activate Magic Card ’Flowing Treasure Scroll!’

Draw two cards from the deck, and at turn’s end, you must send one card to the graveyard. If you don’t, the end phase deals yourself 3000 points of damage!" (Original Card)

He reached across to his deck.

His last draw.
