Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 605

Chương 605: Chapter 605: Night Raid on the Academy

"Aaaargh!"

A miserable, piercing scream came from the other plane's communicator, echoing through the clouds.

It was the unwilling cry of someone whose ace monster, Greed Quasar, had been stolen and used to destroy him.

Honestly, Depre Scott shouldn't have been unfamiliar with the Relinquished series. Though he was a Card Professor and Pegasus's adopted son, Pegasus himself was still his mentor. Depre had encountered Pegasus more than once. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

In fact, he'd been lucky enough to watch Pegasus duel in person—a rare event since Pegasus's retirement after Duelist Kingdom, only a few trusted staff ever witnessed it.

That duel had left a deep impression. Pegasus's cartoon deck, which bypassed monsters to strike directly, and his infamous Relinquished series, had shown what a true "Father of Duel Monsters" could do.

But today, Depre began to doubt—

—Was Relinquished really Pegasus's invention?

Why did Kira's Relinquished seem twice as smooth as Pegasus's ever was?

At first, it looked like a Spellcaster deck, but in reality, the whole thing revolved around Relinquished. With Magical Exemplar endlessly reviving Relinquished by removing Spell Counters, combined with Arcane Barrier to draw more cards, and Metamorphosis for surprise evolutions—

Compared to this, Pegasus's original Relinquished deck felt like junk!

Pegasus's Relinquished was hard to summon, Thousand-Eyes Restrict needed Fusions, and their effects were limited to absorbing only one monster per turn.

But Kira's Relinquished could be revived infinitely, morph on command, and devour three to five monsters in a single turn.

It even felt like Pegasus had never shown the true potential of the card!

So who's the real "Father of Duel Monsters"?

The wailing abruptly stopped.

But it wasn't that Depre had stopped—it was that communication had been cut.

Looking back, Kira saw the steel bird that had tailed him had lost its soul. The jet, like an abandoned toy, spun helplessly in the air, engines roaring as it tumbled downward.

Clouds tore open, moonlight dappling the twisted metal as the steel bird plummeted like a broken-winged angel.

Clearly, with Depre's defeat, his plane was no longer controllable—falling like Lucifer cast down from heaven.

From that altitude, even if Depre survived the crash, he'd be dead on landing.

"Silent," Kira said softly.

No further instructions were needed—the Silent Magician shot from the cockpit like an arrow.

She became a streak of white light, diving quickly to catch up to the falling plane.

She pointed her staff, drawing a circle. Milky white energy sliced open the fuselage like a hot knife through butter. The Silent Magician darted in, and moments later emerged, carrying the unconscious Depre.

She returned to Kira's jet, holding the half-dead Depre in one hand, and looked to Kira as if asking what to do.

Kira waved dismissively: "Just leave him here."

He could tell Depre was just being used, his mind rewritten by a powerful psychic force. Defeating him in a duel was enough—no need to take a skilled duelist's life.

"When we get back, Pegasus will owe me a few more favors," Kira muttered.

He opened a channel to Mokuba: "How's the foundation investigation?"

"I've already met with Pegasus," Mokuba replied. "He says the foundation was recently attacked, and several top Card Professors are missing.

Some disappeared at home, others were ambushed at night. Evidence at the scenes suggests duels occurred, and traces of dark power were detected..."

"Got it. Let me know if anything else comes up." Kira nodded.

Just as he suspected.
