"Aster Phoenix!"
The black robes recognized him and were even more surprised.
"Who’s in charge here?" Aster asked, scanning the crowd.
They exchanged glances.
After a moment, the leader stepped forward.
"Me." He pointed at himself. "I’m the bishop here. Speak to me."
"You?" Aster looked him up and down, then nodded. "Alright. Let’s make this quick."
He glanced at his watch.
"I’ve got about an hour before my flight. Sorry, but I’ll wrap this up fast."
Such a dismissive attitude made everyone angry, but the bishop signaled them to calm down.
"Genius rookie Aster, we’ve heard of you.
But as far as I know, our Church has no grudge with you."
"True." Aster smiled. "I’m just helping a friend take care of you, but time’s short. Since you’re in charge, I’ll deal with you first."
The bishop snorted, swirling his robe.
"Looks like a fight is unavoidable. But taking me down won’t be easy."
He also activated his duel disk.
"Duel!" x2
[Aster, LP4000]
[Bishop, LP4000]
"I’ll go first. Draw."
The bishop drew, then set a monster face-down.
"Next, I activate this card."
He slotted another card into his disk.
"Spell card ’Swords of Revealing Light’! For the next three turns, your monsters can’t declare attacks!"
Aster frowned.
"Hey, are you stalling on purpose because you know I’m in a hurry?"
The bishop ignored him. "My turn ends."
"Alright. My turn."
Aster drew.
"Draw!"
"Activate spell ’Destiny Draw’—discard a ’Destiny HERO’ from my hand, draw two cards!"
He pitched a Destiny HERO, drew twice, and instantly revealed one.
"Activate spell ’Pot of Greed’, draw two more cards."
"Then, spell ’D-Spirit’! If no Destiny HERO is on the field, I can special summon a Level 4 or lower Destiny HERO from my hand."
He revealed the card.
"Special Summon ’Destiny HERO – Diamond Dude’!"
[Diamond Dude, ATK 1400]
"Diamond Dude’s effect: once per turn, reveal the top card of my deck. If it’s a spell, send it to the graveyard, and I can activate its effect next turn. If not, send it to the bottom."
Aster drew.
