Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 837

Chapter 837: Chapter 837: Burned to Death?

"’Dark Core’ banishes ’Destiny HERO - Dogma’!"

The twisted core radiated black lightning, warping space itself. The energy grew, ultimately swallowing Destiny HERO - Dogma whole, twisting and spinning him away into the black vortex until nothing remained.

"Hmph. You wanted to keep burning my life while stalling with attacks? That won’t work on me!"

The other cultists jeered too.

"Looks like the pro player is just so-so."

"Little brat, go home!"

"You’re nothing before the bishop!"

Aster ignored the trash talk, still smiling calmly.

"If you think ’Dark Core’ is just offense, you’re naïve." The bishop revealed the card he discarded, which flashed with golden light in the grave. "When I played ’Dark Core’, I discarded this—

Zeta Reticulant!"

He showed the monster card, and an alien with crystal claws and a body covered in purple gems flickered on the field.

"Zeta’s effect: while in the grave, whenever an opponent’s monster is banished, I can special summon an ’Eva Token’ in defense."

"Since I just banished Destiny HERO - Dogma, I special summon an Eva Token!"

[Eva Token, DEF 500]

"Next, the effect of another Zeta in my hand!" the bishop continued. "By tributing the Eva Token, I can special summon Zeta from my hand.

Descend, Zeta Reticulant!"

A pillar of purple light descended, crystals floating in the air, forming into a furious alien form, claws slashing.

[Zeta Reticulant, ATK 2400]

"Banishing my monster while prepping your ace—so that’s your deck’s focus?" Aster understood. "Banishing for control, huh?"

The bishop smirked: "It’ll also be the last deck you ever face.

I flip my set monster—

Flip summon ’Des Lacooda’!"

[Des Lacooda, ATK 500]

"When Des Lacooda is flipped, I draw one card."

He drew.

"Now battle!

Zeta Reticulant, attack ’Destiny HERO - Captain Tenacious’!"

Zeta roared, slashing at Destiny HERO - Captain Tenacious.

Aster countered: "I activate trap ’D-Shield’! When a Destiny HERO in attack position is attacked, equip this card to it.

’D-Shield’ to Destiny HERO - Captain Tenacious!"

Destiny HERO - Captain Tenacious crouched, shifting to defense, floating stones forming a shield before him.

"Equipped monster switches to defense, and can’t be destroyed by battle!" Aster said.

[Destiny HERO - Captain Tenacious, DEF 800]

Zeta’s full-force attack was blocked by the floating shield.

"Tch, can’t be destroyed by battle?" The bishop frowned.

Now he was stuck too—unless he had a piercing effect, as long as Destiny HERO - Captain Tenacious was on the field, he couldn’t deal damage.
