Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 408

Chapter 408: Chapter 407: Inherited Will

"Ugh..."

Jaden shook his head, forcing himself to focus on the duel. As the darkness faded, he looked up in shock.

For a moment, the Arbiter had vanished, replaced by a humanoid monster: odd-colored eyes, wide bone wings, a third eye on its forehead, watching him with a mix of resentment and excitement.

Jaden recoiled, but in a blink, the figure disappeared, and the Arbiter was back.

"I haven’t used my normal summon this turn. I set a monster in face-down defense position and end my turn."

The Arbiter casually set a monster, then looked at Jaden with an amused expression.

"What did you see, Jaden Yuki?"

"...Draw."

Jaden ignored him.

But his mind was a mess—those chaotic, seemingly foreign memories filled his thoughts. The fleeting image lingered, impossible to shake.

"Kuri kuri!"

Winged Kuriboh’s voice.

"Partner." Jaden glanced at it, smiled, "You’re cheering for me too? Thanks."

He straightened up and set another card.

"I set a monster in defense and end my turn." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

A set monster appeared on his field too.

"Hm... deeply buried memories indeed," the Arbiter said. "Maybe just a bit more. My turn, draw."

He flipped his set monster.

"Flip Summon ’Magical Merchant’."

[Magical Merchant, ATK 200]

"When this card is flip summoned, I reveal cards from the top of my deck until I reveal a Spell or Trap. That card goes to my hand, the rest to the graveyard."

He revealed five cards; the fifth was a Spell.

"I add ’Monster Reborn’ to my hand, and the rest go to the grave."

Jaden: "So you’re filling your grave with DARK monsters again..."

"Then I tribute ’Magical Merchant’ to Tribute Summon."

He revealed another card.

"Appear—Helpoemer."

[Helpoemer, ATK 2000]

"Next, I activate ’Monster Reborn’ to revive a monster from the graveyard." He gestured at Jaden, "I choose your beloved hero...

Elemental HERO Flame Wingman!"

In the real card game, Flame Wingman can’t be revived from the graveyard, but there’s no such restriction in the anime. The Reborn symbol appeared above the Arbiter, flames swirling into the form of Flame Wingman, now on the Arbiter’s side.

[Elemental HERO Flame Wingman, ATK 2100]

"Flame Wingman..." Jaden muttered.

Mokuba was nervous: "Brother, this guy’s built an insanely strong field again, and there’s still that Dark Armed Dragon..."

Kaiba frowned, silent.

Was this as far as Jaden would go?

"Dark Armed Dragon’s effect: banish a DARK from the graveyard to destroy any card on the field."

The Arbiter revealed a DARK monster from the graveyard.

"’Magical Merchant’ replenished my grave with DARKs. I banish one to destroy your set monster."

A black blast targeted Jaden’s last line of defense. If this monster was destroyed, he’d be left wide open.

Boom!

The explosion tore through the set monster, but its image briefly flickered.
