Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54 - 54: The Spirit World’s Request

[Grand Tiki Elder, LP 0]

When the Life Points hit zero and the magical storm faded, Kira never saw the spirit of that Grand Tiki Elder again.

It looked like the Silent Magician's final blow had obliterated him outright—there wasn't even dust left.

Dusting off his hands, Kira turned calmly to the remaining Goblin grunts. The Silent Magician didn't vanish with the duel's end; she stood guard at his side, staff in hand, her cold gaze sweeping over the circle of Goblins.

The Goblins who had been watching nearby were now frozen like statues.

The final moment of the duel was still vivid in their minds: an attack with over five thousand points of power, that terrifying momentum, and the boss's desperate scream as he was pulverized to nothing. It was a trauma that would not soon fade.

This duelist is terrifying!

The Goblin squad stood rooted to the spot, not daring to move as Kira put away his duel disk and walked toward them. It felt as if death itself was approaching with every step.

Finally, one Goblin in the back gritted his teeth:

"I just remembered my wife's about to give birth—I'll go ahead and leave first, brothers!"

He turned and bolted.

With someone taking the lead, the whole squad scattered. Another Goblin slapped his forehead:

"Oh right, my wife's about to give birth too. I'll go first!"

"Me too! My wife as well!"

"Ah, I just remembered my dad died last year and still hasn't been buried, I need to hurry—"

Boom!

A blast of magical energy exploded in front of the fastest-running Goblins, gouging a huge crater in the ground and sending the little monsters flying. The one in front couldn't stop in time and crashed headlong into the magical blast—pulverized on the spot, no need to even clean up the corpse.

The remaining Goblins were petrified with fear, frozen in place, not daring to move.

"Relax, I'm not some kind of demon," Kira said with a smile as he walked to where the Grand Tiki Elder had been reduced to ashes.

He stooped to pick up the dueling deck that had fallen among what was possibly the spirit's ashes, pocketing it with practiced ease.

The Goblins kept their heads down, not daring to meet his eyes. In their hearts, they thought: You're being modest—if you're not a demon, then a demon should have your face tattooed on it!

"I didn't come here on purpose, and I don't intend to meddle in your battles. I'm just passing through. If you just tell me how to leave this place—"

Before he could finish, he felt a tug at the back of his shirt.

Turning around, he saw the Silent Magician motioning to the street behind them.

He realized that figures were beginning to appear on the otherwise empty town streets.

Or to be precise: spirits.

Some small spirits peeked timidly from the shadows of buildings and through door and window cracks, drawn by the commotion of the duel.

A blonde, blue-skinned female spirit bravely stepped out and approached.

While most of these spirits were unfamiliar to him, this one he recognized: "Mystical Elf"—Level 4, 800 ATK, 2000 DEF. It had appeared as a Normal Monster Yugi once summoned in the anime, so he remembered.

"Great Hero, you've finally arrived," she said.

Kira: "?"

Hero?

That sounds straight out of a typical isekai story—the hero defeating the demon lord to save the princess...

"Since the disaster began, a legend has circulated here: One day, a hero from another world would come, defeat the Evil God, and bring hope."

Wow, there's even an Evil God? Sounds harder than a Demon Lord.

More spirits emerged, most of them appearing to be Level 1 or 2 Normal Monsters.

"Come with me," said the Mystical Elf. "I'll tell you how to leave here."
