Chapter 837: Aid vs. Bishop
"Aid Phoenix!"
The black-robed figures recognized Aid's identity, their surprise growing.
"Who's in charge here?" Aid asked, his gaze swiftly scanning the crowd.
The black-robed figures exchanged glances.
After a moment, the leader stepped forward.
"Me." He pointed to himself, "I'm the Bishop here. If you have any business, you can talk to me."
"You?" Aid glanced him up and down for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Alright. Then let's make this quick."
He looked at his watch.
"I have about an hour left before my flight. So, sorry, but I'll try to finish this quickly."
The crowd was visibly annoyed by Aid's dismissive attitude. But the Bishop gestured for everyone to stay calm and said, "The talented newcomer in the professional circle, Aid Phoenix, we've heard of your name.
But if I'm not mistaken, my church and you shouldn't have any issues, right?"
"Indeed." Aid smiled, "I'm just here to help a friend settle things with you, but I'm short on time. If you're in charge, let's start with you."
The Bishop grunted and flicked his robe.
"It seems we have no choice but to duel. But taking me down won't be easy."
He, too, activated his Duel Disk.
"Duel!" x2
【Aid, LP: 4000】
【Bishop, LP: 4000】
"I'll go first. Draw card."
The Bishop, going first, drew a card and then slowly played another from his hand.
"First, set a monster in Attack Position on the field."
"Then, activate this card."
He inserted the other card from his hand into the Duel Disk.
"Magic Card, 'Light Seal Sword'! For the next three turns, based on the opponent's turn count, their monsters cannot declare an attack!"
Aid frowned slightly, displeased.
"Hey, are you using this stalling tactic because you know I'm in a hurry?"
The Bishop ignored him and continued, "My turn is over."
"Alright, then it's my turn."
Aid looked up, his voice deep.
"Draw card!"
"Activate the Magic Card, 'Desire Flask'! Discard a 'Destiny Hero' monster from your hand and draw two cards from your deck!"
Aid discarded the Destiny Hero in his hand and drew two cards.
However, he revealed one of the cards he drew.
"Activate the Magic Card, 'D-Spirit'! When there is no Destiny Hero on your field, you can Special Summon a 4-star or lower Destiny Hero from your hand."
Aid revealed the Destiny Hero in his hand.
"Special Summon, 'Destiny Hero - Diamondman'!"
【Destiny Hero - Diamondman, ATK: 400】
"Diamondman's effect: Once per turn, check the top card of your deck. If it's a Magic Card, send it to the Graveyard, and you can activate its effect next turn.
If not, send it to the bottom of the deck."
Aid drew a card.
Of course, Aid's Diamondman never missed when it came to drawing cards.
"Magic Card, 'Adversity Amulet'." Aid revealed his hand, "Therefore, send it to the Graveyard, and next turn, activate its effect."
"Then, activate the Magic Card, 'Transcend Destiny'!" Aid said, "Select a 'Destiny Hero' monster from your Graveyard, and Special Summon a 'Destiny Hero' monster with a level half or less from your deck.
However, monsters Special Summoned through this effect must be destroyed at the end of the turn.
"The Bishop spoke, "The Destiny Hero you just discarded with your magic."
"That card is 'Destiny Hero - Demonic Man', Level 6," Aid smiled, "So, I can Special Summon a Destiny Hero with a Level of 3 or lower from my Deck.
Come on! Destiny Hero - Demon Man!"
The Destiny Hero that had been floating beside him before the Duel began appeared, crouching with his arms crossed in a defensive stance on his field.
[Destiny Hero - Demon Man, Defense Power 800]
"Then, the effect of 'Destiny Hero - Demonic Man' in the Graveyard, by removing this card from play, I can Special Summon a card with the same name from my Deck."
I remove Demon Man from the Graveyard and Special Summon another Demon Man from my Deck.
Come on! Destiny Hero - Demon Man!"
[Destiny Hero - Demon Man, Attack Power 800]
"Then, I'll Tribute three monsters on the field—Demon Man, Diamond Man, and Demon Man—to summon the highest-level Destiny Hero!
The uncensored version is available on 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book, the first novel to be released on the platform.
—Destiny Hero - Doctrine Man!!!"
A dazzling beam of light descended from the sky, striking the center of the battlefield. A heavily armored warrior appeared in the glow, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's, his stature tall and proud, his armor shimmering with a cold light.
[Destiny Hero - Doctrine Man, Attack Power 3400]
"Three Tributes on the first turn to summon a monster of this caliber. No wonder you're the professional star, Aid Phoenix."
The Bishop paused, narrowing his eyes with a cold smile.
"However, no matter how powerful the summoned monster is, it cannot attack under the seal of the 'Light Seal Sword'."
"I know," Aid chuckled.
"I haven't performed a Normal Summon yet.
I'll summon 'Destiny Hero - Tenaciousman' in Attack Position."
[Destiny Hero - Tenaciousman, Attack Power 800]
"Finally, I'll set two cards in the back row, and my turn ends."
"Such an aggressive opening, only to end up like this in the end." The Bishop mocked, "Well, it's my turn. Draw!"
The Bishop drew a card.
But before he could do anything, he saw a cold glint in the eyes of the Doctrine Man across the field. A domineering energy surged from within him, and a similar energy erupted from beneath the Bishop's feet, as if it would crush him entirely.
"Waaah!"
The Bishop groaned in pain. This came without warning, catching him completely off guard, and he nearly toppled over.
[Bishop, LP 4000 to LP 2000]
"What the...?!"
He looked at the Doctrine Man across the field in disbelief.
Aid smirked, "Destiny Hero - Doctrine Man, as long as this card remains on the field, during each of your opponent's Standby Phases, halve their Life Points." (Original Effect)
This effect was weakened in the real card game. In the real card game, the effect can only be used once after Doctrine Man is successfully Special Summoned, reducing LP by half. In the anime, the effect activates every turn.
"It's dangerous to burn half your Life Points right from the start."
The Bishop glared at Doctrine Man.
"I must eliminate it!"
With determination, the Bishop revealed the magic card in his hand.
"Activate the Spell Card 'Black Core'! By discarding one card from your hand, you can remove a face-up monster from play!"
The Bishop discarded a card from his hand into the Graveyard.
"Remove 'Destiny Hero - Doctrine Man' from play!"
