Chapter 697 “A Million Requests for Moon Tickets” Dark Demon vs Demon Breed (10,000)
With the appearance of “Mewtwo,” the audience seats outside the arena erupted with astonishing cheers.
“This is ‘Mewtwo’? Truly a magical spirit with incredible charm!”
“Yes, no matter how many times I see it, it always leaves me in awe.”
“How many times have you seen it?”
“For the first time.”
“I’ve seen it twice already!”
“I’m really looking forward to the model Easter Eggs and simulation cards for ‘Mewtwo’!”
“If they come out, I’ll definitely buy them to collect.”
The amazing allure of “Mewtwo” seemed to make the audience gradually overlook its strength.
But within the circular belt, the students watching the match were clearly more concerned about its star rating.
“Has he summoned a seven-star magical spirit through ritual sacrifice in the first round?” Both are ritual sacrifices, Angus? Jeffrey… seems to have only summoned a six-star magical spirit?”
Edwin? Clarissa crossed his arms, his lips slightly raised.
Most of the other noble academy students also noticed the gap between the two sides at the start.
…
However, on the blue side platform, Angus? Jeffrey did not appear anxious.
He placed his hand above his deck, already waiting for the beginning of the second round.
In his summoning zone, a new magical spirit was summoned.
This was a six-star magical spirit summoned through ritual sacrifice with the “spawn mother spider” as the offering!
Unlike the four-star “Greed Slime II,” which could be used as a third-tier offering, the “spawn mother spider” only had three stars and could not be used to summon a third-tier magical spirit.
But the six-star magical spirit summoned by Angus? Jeffrey was not a core combat type!
[Card Name: Cave Worm]
[Type: Elemental Card]
[Level: ?????]
[Race: Insect Type]
[Attribute: Bug/Ground]
[Magic Power: 3200]
[Attack: 2000]
[Defense: 2000]
[Ultimate Skills: Rock Skin, Digging, Laying Eggs]
It was still a bug-type magical spirit!
Angus? Jeffrey originally used a card deck leaning towards ice attributes, but now all three summoned magical spirits were bug types.
This “Cave Worm” had very prominent magic power among its stats, but its attack and defense were unremarkable among six-star magical spirits. However, its huge and fat body, along with its rock armor, made it have no obvious weaknesses.
After summoning it, Angus? Jeffrey immediately ordered it to use its ultimate skill—”Digging!”
The “Cave Worm” opened its massive mouth and swallowed the blue side’s mana guidance ball before diving into the ground!
The large body of the “Cave Worm” diving underground made almost no noise, and soon it disappeared like it had submerged underwater.
Angus? Jeffrey sneered inwardly while looking at Dark’s summoned “Mewtwo.”
The behavior of the “Cave Worm” seemed to protect the mana guidance ball, but in reality, it was using this to cover up its true purpose of building a nest and laying eggs underground!
Since the initial five-card hand, Angus? Jeffrey had planned this battle strategy.
His deck didn’t have many flashy magical spirit cards, item cards, or secret rite cards; it was mainly composed of elemental cards.
But he had clear divisions for each magical spirit, such as functional types and combat types.
The three magical spirits he summoned were all functional types!
But with these three functional magical spirits as the foundation, he could continuously summon more combat-oriented high-star magical spirits!
“The essence of magical spirit duels is the clash between high-star magical spirits. Whether it’s ritual sacrifice, special summoning, or ceremony summoning…
it’s all about quickly pulling out powerful high-star magical spirits. Whoever summons the stronger and faster high-star magical spirits will win!”
—This was how Angus? Jeffrey perceived it.
And at this moment, he was indeed putting this perception into practice!
The “Spawn Mother Spider” could only hatch one-star or two-star “spiderlings,” but the “Cave Worm” could produce four-star “larvae” eggs!
The only flaw was that the “Cave Worm” eggs needed time to hatch.
First-tier eggs took 15 seconds to hatch.
Four-star eggs took 30 seconds to hatch.
Given that Dark? Demon did not know that the “Cave Worm” could lay eggs and couldn’t see underground, he just needed to wait another round to launch a thunderous strike!
…
The act of the “Cave Worm” swallowing the blue side’s mana guidance ball and then diving underground was extremely misleading.
Dark indeed did not expect that the “Cave Worm,” which did not have the obvious features of the “Spawn Mother Spider,” could also lay eggs.
Under these circumstances, he made the most reasonable arrangement.
Unfortunately, it was not a moonlit night, otherwise, under the moonlight, “Mewtwo” might purify the negative state of the “Solo Sword Sheath” with just “Moon’s Protection.”
Now, without moonlight, “Mewtwo’s” “Moon’s Protection” was like a shield, blocking external attacks but unable to remove internal toxins.
Dark immediately ordered, “Target the spider, ‘Water Cannon’!”
For a fully charged “Water Cannon,” 120 meters was nothing more than a fleeting distance.
Even if the “Water Cannon” was slightly weakened due to the normal strength of a three-star magical spirit, it could still kill it instantly!
Dark could not let that “Spawn Mother Spider” continue to hatch.
“Miu!”
“Mewtwo’s” expression turned serious, light blue dots floated from its body, converging into a ball at its open mouth.
At the sound of the first round ending, a thick and long “Water Cannon” shot out!
“Boom!”
The “Spawn Mother Spider” had nowhere to hide.
Even its newly hatched two “spiderlings” were obliterated by the massive water cannon!
The entire field became instantly clear.
…
“Battle Phase (2)” [30s]
Both players drew cards immediately.
After the first round, Dark had only one card left in his hand, urgently needing to replenish it.
The next two cards would greatly affect the situation on the field!
His expression was somewhat solemn.
[Primordial Dragon Egg]
[Bliss IV Moon]
It was hard to say whether this draw was good or bad.
Dark glanced at the remaining “Bliss III Moon” from the previous round and pulled out the “Primordial Dragon Egg” from his hand.
With no other options, what he could do next was to summon the “Primordial Dragon Egg”!
Fortunately, with “Mewtwo” holding the fort, he didn’t need to worry about the dragon egg being shattered before it hatched.
Unless that “Cave Worm” burrowing underground suddenly emerged from the red side’s summoning zone!
Dark’s gaze shifted, and he immediately summoned: “By the name of Dark? Demon, Mana Summon—’Primordial Dragon Egg’!”
“Mewtwo’s” personality was not suited for direct combat, and since “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” was a light attribute, it was likely that the means used by Angus? Jeffrey to counter the “Holy Sword” would also work on “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon.”
At this point, “Mewtwo” needed to pre-emptively add “Moon’s Protection.”
No rush, first ensure the “Dragon Egg” safely hatches!
…
When the classic “Dragon Egg” appeared in the red side’s summoning zone, Angus? Jeffrey remained unfazed.
He had used three magical spirit cards in the first round, and now with two new cards added, he still had four, more than Dark.
Only after the “Spawn Mother Spider” was instantly destroyed did he have only one “Dark Cell Bug” left on the field.
[Card Name: Dark Cell Bug]
[Type: Elemental Card]
[Level: ???]
[Race: Insect Type]
[Attribute: Bug/Dark]
[Magic Power: 1500]
[Attack: 800]
[Defense: 1500]
[Ultimate Skills: Corruption, Bug Explosion, Dark Water]
The “Dark Cell Bug” looked fragile like a balloon, yet it had top-tier defensive values among three-star magical spirits.
But it lacked strong offensive capabilities, with its sole damaging ultimate skill being a self-destructive “Bug Explosion”!
“Self-destruct” type ultimate skills had immense power, even capable of causing significant damage to high-star magical spirits across tiers.
Angus? Jeffrey’s advantage lay in never having used these newly created magical spirits outside of battle.
Moreover, these magical spirits were rare, and in the current absence of demons, young mages found it difficult to have clear knowledge of them.
If Dark let his guard down, he could easily suffer great losses!
Furthermore, the “Bug Explosion” of the “Dark Cell Bug” was particularly special!
…
“Dark? Demon’s two existing magical spirits cannot threaten the ‘Cave Worm’ underground, so there’s no need for excessive operations at this time.”
Angus? Jeffrey glanced at his four cards and then looked at the field, his face becoming increasingly grim.
He had witnessed the “Light Hall” of the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” in the previous duel.
Though he didn’t know the exact effects of the field spell, it was clearly troublesome.
If he couldn’t handle it well, his dark attribute magical spirits would become weak due to the light attribute environment.
After considering this, Angus? Jeffrey did not take any further actions.
After summoning the “Primordial Dragon Egg,” Dark? Demon immediately ordered it to hatch.
As the dragon egg cracked, “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” hatched, its innate aura spreading rapidly.
Although “Mewtwo” was also a dragon type, it wasn’t as pure as “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon.”
Once “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” hatched, “Mewtwo” emitted a pleasant chirp, faint moonlight enveloping it like a gossamer veil, filling most of the red side’s area.
The “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” standing in this area was also enveloped in moonlight, entering the “Moon’s Protection” state.
Magical spirits in the “Moon’s Protection” state would not fall into confusion, sleep, burning, freezing, or most other abnormal states for five rounds.
“Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” seemed divinely aided, its original fighting spirit boiling over.
It spread its wings and quickly flew toward the blue side’s half-field.
At this moment, “Solo Sword Sheath” had completely stopped moving. If it were not a magical spirit but a real “Holy Sword,” it would likely be scrapped!
Angus Jeffrey closely watched the field, intent on creating the illusion that the “Dark Cell Bug” could handle the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon.”
And once Dark Demon, out of caution, ordered the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” to release the “Light Hall,” his plan would succeed!
Though Dark Demon was domineering, his duel style so far had been more cautious and conservative, rarely taking radical actions.
Angus Jeffrey understood this very clearly.
And indeed, it happened as he predicted.
Dark Demon did command the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” to release the “Light Hall.”
But deploying on the field was a common strategy.
Even if the “Dark Cell Bug” didn’t charge, he would have made the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” use it early.
The “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” launched a white light ball into the sky as soon as it crossed halfway, which quickly exploded. Even in broad daylight, its bright glow was evident, accompanied by falling angel feathers.
The center of the field near the Blue Side was covered with a light curtain.
The “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” became even fiercer, charging aggressively toward the “Dark Cell Bug.”
The “Dark Cell Bug” had only 1500 defense points, which were as fragile as paper against the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” with 3000 attack points.
But the instant the dragon’s claws tore through the “Dark Cell Bug’s” skin, Angus Jeffrey grimly declared, “Bug Burst!”
Just in time!
The “Dark Cell Bug” released all its remaining mana, causing the “Dark Water” within to spread outward in a burst of energy.
The rotting, foul dark aura spread like a “Field Spell,” enveloping the entire area.
The “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon’s” “Light Hall” was affected by this dark aura, its brightness dimming, and foul substances floating in the air.
The ground splashed with black water became polluted, turning dark and stinking, spreading outward.
Even though the “Light Hall” wasn’t completely dispersed, its effect was significantly reduced.
Angus Jeffrey inwardly rejoiced but kept his expression unchanged.
The “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon,” taking the “Dark Cell Bug’s” self-explosion head-on, was also contaminated by the “Dark Water.” Black mucus flowed between its scales.
Like the “Solo Sword Sheath,” it felt uncomfortable, experiencing a rigidness due to disrupted mana flow.
However, the “Dark Water” weakened it less than it did the “Solo Sword Sheath.”
The “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon’s” mana remained relatively healthy.
It seemed “Moon’s Protection” truly worked!
…
“No follow-up?”
On the Red Side platform, Dark Demon looked puzzled, whispering softly.
Of course, even this whisper amplified by the amplification device reached Angus Jeffrey’s ears.
Angus Jeffrey’s lips moved, clearly eager to speak.
But speaking too much could lead to mistakes, and he successfully held back.
Dark glanced at him and then gave new instructions to the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon.”
The “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” shook its head vigorously and stopped flying, walking steadily toward the Blue Side Summoning Area.
This was a common tactic to counter unscrupulous strategies.
Since he couldn’t immediately threaten the opponent’s “Mana Guidance Ball,” he would first block their “Normal Summon.”
Dark wouldn’t be anxious because he had great confidence in his deck’s strength.
If Angus Jeffrey wanted to stall, let him stall!
The longer they dragged it out, the uncertain the outcome would be.
Thus, the scene became a deadlock, and the second round passed swiftly.
“Battle Phase (3)” [30s]
In the third round, both players rapidly drew cards.
Dark had clear goals for himself.
The best choice to deal damage to the “Golem” underground was “Cubone,” but since “Gluttony III” had already been used, “Little Cubone” couldn’t evolve into “Cubone.”
Without “Cubone,” a spirit-type “Mana Guidance Ball” with penetration ability was still an option.
Or a “Nine-Tailed Fox Beast” that could destroy the ground could be the final choice.
His strategies were varied, and the upcoming situation depended on what cards he drew and how the game played out.
[“Piplup”]
[“Bronze Snake Mirror”]
The joy of “Mana Duel” lay in the unpredictability of each round.
Dark smiled.
“Piplup” wasn’t a good choice, but since he kept it in his deck, there must be a reason.
“Perhaps today is when it will shine!”
Though he said so, Dark did not summon “Piplup.”
Instead, he looked up, paying close attention to Angus Jeffrey’s moves.
He didn’t think Angus Jeffrey would continue stalling.
Indeed!
Two seconds after the third round began, Angus Jeffrey drew a card from his six-card hand and quickly summoned it.
To Dark’s surprise, he didn’t use a normal summon but a sacrificial summon!
“Where did his sacrifice come from?”
The thought just formed when Dark saw two white lights break through the ground.
They merged with the light emitted by the “Mana Guidance Card” in his hand, forming a large sacrificial summoning array above the Blue Side Summoning Area!
The spectators outside erupted in shock!
Few people had guessed this would happen.
When Angus Jeffrey performed an impressive sacrificial summon, many focused on the ground.
“Is this why you stalled?”
Dark whispered, his eyes turning fierce.
From the large sacrificial summoning array, he sensed the presence of a Tier 3 “Mana Guidance Ball.”
“Seven-star, eight-star, or nine-star?”
Before the “Mana Guidance Ball” was summoned, the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” in the Blue Side flew high, decisively heading toward the center of the summoning array—clearly intending to continue with the planned strategy.
Regardless of whether it was seven-star, eight-star, or nine-star, the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” would not fear it!
“Mewtwo!”
Dark moved his finger, and the “Mana Guidance Ball” hovering above the Red Side Summoning Area flew upward.
Angus Jeffrey’s unexpected summon forced him to prepare for “Mewtwo’s” entry.
Once “Mewtwo” entered the field, nearby “Mana Guidance Balls” could be attacked by “Cave Worms.”
So he had to pull the “Mana Guidance Ball” higher.
“Mewtwo” responded instantly, swiftly moving toward the opponent.
Dark then drew “Bronze Snake Mirror” from his deck, waiting for the manifestation of that “Mana Guidance Ball.”
The summoning array quickly turned pitch-black, with dark energy rising from the pathways, bringing pollution.
“In the name of Angus Jeffrey, I offer two four-star ‘Cave Larvae’ as sacrifices, to summon an eight-star ‘Mana Guidance Ball’ — ‘Blood Wing Bug Demon’!”
A grotesque head, similar to a fly’s, quickly emerged from the center of the sacrificial summoning.
Its huge compound eyes were blood red, with devil-like horns on either side.
Below the head was a humanoid body with limbs, armored in crimson, with black spines on its arms and legs, and hands and feet resembling wild beast claws.
As “Blood Wing Bug Demon” fully manifested, it spread its arms and roared in anger, opening demonic blood wings!
It was a demon race!
[Card Name: Blood Wing Bug Demon]
[Type: Elemental]
[Level: ????????]
[Race: Demon]
[Attribute: Insect/Dark]
[Mana: 3900]
[Attack: 3800]
[Defense: 2700]
[Ultimate Skills: Blood Curse Mark, Bug Transformation, Blood Flash, Bug Blade]
“It’s a high-tier demon!”
Dark couldn’t help but look surprised.
Although “Mana Guidance Balls” weren’t real beings, the previous summons by Angus Jeffrey had already raised some doubts.
Now, the appearance of this high-tier demon deepened those suspicions!
“Blood Wing Bug Demon” was a rare type among high-tier demons.
It possessed characteristics similar to vampires but was more inclined towards combat, making it a specialized high-tier demon.
Though Dark hadn’t seen the insect types living in demon territories, he was familiar with these well-known high-tier demons.
Looking at “Blood Wing Bug Demon,” he couldn’t help but think of the “Vampire Count.”
Both were eight-star “Mana Guidance Balls,” but how did “Blood Wing Bug Demon” compare to “Vampire Count”?
“Win this duel first!”
The unexpected discovery fueled Dark’s desire to win even more.
…
“Roar!”
Two roars echoed simultaneously.
The six-star “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” and the eight-star “Blood Wing Bug Demon” finally clashed.
“Blood Wing Bug Demon” had 800 more attack points than “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon,” but their defenses were comparable.
“Baby Blue-Eye Dragon’s” claws could still tear through “Blood Wing Bug Demon’s” defense.
At the initial clash, although “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” fell into a disadvantage, “Blood Wing Bug Demon” also paid a price.
Angus Jeffrey couldn’t help but frown.
He had expected the eight-star “Blood Wing Bug Demon” to overwhelm the six-star “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon.”
But this situation didn’t occur.
“I didn’t want to use it…”
Angus Jeffrey muttered, then suddenly shouted, “Blood Wing Bug Demon, plant the curse mark!”
A thick blood-red light glowed from “Blood Wing Bug Demon’s” compound eyes, emerging with a strange curse mark from beneath them.
“Ultimate Skill — ‘Blood Curse Mark’!”
Red light shot out, hitting “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon’s” forehead accurately.
“Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” was startled, instinctively flapping its wings and retreating rapidly.
But moonlight flowed over its body, and it didn’t sense any abnormalities.
However, a blood-red curse mark indeed appeared on its forehead.
Then “Blood Wing Bug Demon’s” speed suddenly increased!
Red light flashed, and “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” couldn’t react in time, being torn open by “Blood Wing Bug Demon’s” claws, spraying dragon blood.
“Ha ha ha!”
“Blood Wing Bug Demon” chuckled sinisterly, lifting its right claw, blood dripping from its claws.
It extended its tongue, licking the blood into its mouth, savoring it.
Then, in its palm, blood quickly condensed, forming a short curved blade emitting dragon的气息!
“Ultimate Skill — ‘Bug Blade’!”
“Blood Wing Bug Demon” could absorb the opponent’s blood and simulate corresponding attribute blades, unaffected by attribute restraints.
But the “Bug Blade” it simulated from “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon’s” blood only had dragon attributes, lacking light attributes.
Sexuality — this was the limitation.
And with the “Bug Blade,” the “Blood Wing Bug Demon” gained a full eight hundred points in attack power, and the “Bug Blade” also came with a special skill — “Insect Chirp!”
“Chirp, Bug Blade!”
In place of the mute Mana Spirit, Angus Jeffrey let out a low, fierce shout.
The “Bug Blade” in the “Blood Wing Bug Demon’s” hand began to vibrate rapidly, emitting a shrill chirp.
“Zing——”
That chirp was extremely harsh, even reaching Dak Demon on the red side platform with his barrier filtering, causing ear pain.
Within the arena, the dragon types — not just the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon,” but even “Mewtwo” paused, showing signs of distress.
Using “Bug Blade” to absorb attributes and “Insect Chirp” to suppress attributes.
The “Blood Wing Bug Demon” spun its “Bug Blade,” laughing as it spread its wings again.
When targeting prey marked with the “Blood Kill Curse Mark,” the “Blood Wing Bug Demon’s” attack and speed increased.
Especially, its speed would surge, weakening the target’s abilities and dealing extra damage!
However, the part that weakened the target’s abilities and dealt extra damage was nullified by “Moon’s Protection,” but the “Blood Wing Bug Demon” still benefited from the boost.
The “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” was never its match, and if suppressed by “Insect Chirp,” it would become a sitting duck.
With one slash, the “Blood Wing Bug Demon” almost severed its body!
In that instant, the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” was forced to use its last life-saving ultimate skill — “Dragon Egg Transformation!”
“Turning into an egg?”
Angus Jeffrey spoke more than usual — he couldn’t hold back.
Laughing, he ordered the “Blood Wing Bug Demon” for further attacks.
The “Primordial Dragon Egg” wasn’t fragile, but only within the three-star range.
Facing over 3000 points of damage, it would be destroyed instantly!
“Miu!”
But when the “Blood Wing Bug Demon’s” “Bug Blade” was about to hit the dragon egg, a grayish-white ray suddenly struck!
“Mewtwo” held the “Bronze Snake Mirror” with its tail, aiming fiercely at the dragon egg!
Despite its pained expression, it seemed to suffer less attribute suppression compared to the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon.”
The “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” and “Blood Wing Bug Demon” were engaged in an aerial battle; it couldn’t intervene.
At this moment, Dak summoned the “Bronze Snake Mirror,” which immediately activated.
The four small snakes on the “Bronze Snake Mirror” opened their eyes, focusing intently on the “Blood Wing Bug Demon.”
The “Petrifying Gaze” ray hit the “Blood Wing Bug Demon,” causing it to freeze instantly, starting to petrify from the point of impact!
…
Angus Jeffrey clearly did not expect Dak to have such an effective item card against the third-tier Mana Spirits.
But he wasn’t without countermeasures against “Petrification”: “Insect Transformation!”
“Chirp——”
The nearly petrified “Blood Wing Bug Demon” let out a sharp cry, then curled up, spreading its blood-red wings to cover its body, with blood radiance flowing around — and then it transformed into stone!
The “Blood Wing Bug Demon’s” “Insect Transformation” was akin to a larva transforming into an adult insect, allowing it to undergo rapid transformation.
This ultimate skill was extremely rare; only a few individuals with exceptional talent could master it among the Blood Wing Bug Demon race.
After Angus Jeffrey’s “Blood Wing Bug Demon” used “Insect Transformation,” it could briefly transform into a nine-star Mana Spirit, gaining a new ultimate skill.
But the increase in attributes and the new ultimate skill were secondary; most importantly, its speed surged even faster, becoming lightning quick!
If paired with the near-instantaneous “Blood Flash,” its hunting ability would instill fear in countless humans.
Unfortunately, it turned into stone!
Angus Jeffrey looked at the failed “Insect Transformation” of the “Blood Wing Bug Demon,” finally showing a menacing expression.
He clenched his right fist, subconsciously wanting to slam the spellboard.
But just before his right fist touched the spellboard, he stopped himself.
On the ground, the “Primordial Dragon Egg” hatched once again!
…
“Drip!”
“Drip!”
“Drip!”
“Battle Phase (4)” [30s]
The third round passed in this lightning-fast exchange.
Angus Jeffrey still had five cards in his hand, but after sacrificing and summoning the “Blood Wing Bug Demon,” he focused solely on combat, using none of them.
As the round switched, he didn’t draw immediately, instead pulling one directly and summoning: “By the name of Angus Jeffrey, I offer up the ‘Blood Wing Bug Demon’ as a sacrifice…”
It was still a sacrifice summon, but this time using the “Blood Wing Bug Demon” as the offering.
Angus Jeffrey’s voice already carried suppressed anger.
He clearly wanted to use this method to maximize the “Blood Wing Bug Demon’s” potential.
But halfway through his incantation, he suddenly stumbled.
Because he realized that the petrified “Blood Wing Bug Demon” couldn’t be summoned as a sacrifice!
“What’s going on?”
Angus Jeffrey’s voice changed slightly.
Offering up a petrified or frozen Mana Spirit as a sacrifice was a common technique in high-level Mana Duels.
Though his duel experience was limited, he had observed many duels.
But Dak Demon’s “Petrification” caught him off guard again.
“Calm down!”
He took a deep breath, changing his approach.
“By the name of Angus Jeffrey, I offer up two four-star ‘Cave Larva’ as sacrifices, sacrifice summon — ‘Triple Giant Brain Bug!'”
Yes, the third and fourth four-star bug eggs of the “Cave Worm” had hatched!
But it had exhausted all its energy, unable to produce any more bug eggs.
Moreover, to ensure it could move the hidden Mana Guidance Ball, Angus Jeffrey couldn’t offer himself as a sacrifice.
Angus Jeffrey’s operation showed flaws; he was cautious toward Dak but lacked sufficient caution himself.
After successfully summoning the “Blood Wing Bug Demon,” he felt like he had nine-star power, and his desire for victory grew urgent!
After the “Blood Wing Bug Demon” was petrified, he became restless, though he calmed down, he hadn’t drawn any cards yet.
However, he successfully sacrificed and summoned the eight-star Mana Spirit — “Triple Giant Brain Bug”!
“The advantage is still mine!”
After muttering this, Angus Jeffrey finally drew a card.
…
On the red side platform,
Dak Demon drew a card the moment the round switched.
[Magic Beast: Ditto]
[Pride III]
“Pride III? Unfortunately, the second hatching of the ‘Baby Blue-Eye Dragon’ was too early,” Dak thought, frowning.
“If ‘Sinful Blue-Eyed Dragon’ could hatch now, it could replace the ‘Light Hall’ with the ‘Sin World.’
And the ‘Sin World’ is actually more suitable for my Mana Spirits than the ‘Light Hall.’
Unfortunately, there’s no going back during a duel.
I can’t let the ‘Baby Blue-Eye Dragon’ remain an egg while Angus Jeffrey is chanting loudly.
Moreover, the ‘Cave Worm’ is lurking underground.
Fortunately, I successfully drew [Magic Beast: Ditto]!
Even with ‘Bliss IV? Moon,’ [Magic Beast: Ditto] can only reach six stars, so it can’t transform into an eight-star Mana Spirit — even if it forcibly transforms, it would only copy partial data, making it counterproductive.
But transforming into the ‘Baby Blue-Eye Dragon’ could refresh its ultimate skill cooldown!
So Dak glanced at the ground and called out [Magic Beast: Ditto]…
“By the name of Dak Demon, Mana Summon — [Magic Beast: Ditto]!”
If he could lure out the ‘Cave Worm,’ it would be ideal.
But Angus Jeffrey clearly intended to keep it buried, leaving the ‘Cave Worm’ motionless.
The summon of [Magic Beast: Ditto] was even faster than the ‘Triple Giant Brain Bug.’
When the ‘Triple Giant Brain Bug’ was finally summoned, Dak had already started summoning ‘Pride III’!
Thus, when two more ‘sacrifices’ flew out of the ground, Dak, though surprised, showed no reaction — he was focused.
Three seconds later, as the star level of [Magic Beast: Ditto] began to rise, Dak quickly ordered: “Mewtwo, retreat slightly, Baby Blue-Eye Dragon, Dragon’s Inverted Scale!”
The accumulated anger erupted instantly, the effect of “Dragon’s Inverted Scale” reached its peak.
The “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” burst with blood-red light, crazily charging towards the nearest ‘Triple Giant Brain Bug’!
While “Mewtwo” retreated quickly… observing!
Though a seven-star Mana Spirit, “Mewtwo’s” offensive power was not as strong as the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon.”
Joining the battle at this moment would only result in being attacked by both.
It quietly gathered water-type energy, ready to use “Life Stream” to support the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” at any moment.
The “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” clashed with the ‘Triple Giant Brain Bug’!
…
The ‘Triple Giant Brain Bug’ was massive, with three huge heads, each head looking different.
Its body resembled a giant snake, calling it a “Three-headed Giant Snake” wouldn’t be odd.
However, the size ratio between the body and heads of the ‘Triple Giant Brain Bug’ was clearly disproportionate; its body was relatively short and thick, making it move clumsily.
Lack of speed was the main reason Angus Jeffrey didn’t summon it first.
But apart from that, the ‘Triple Giant Brain Bug’ was not weaker than the ‘Blood Wing Bug Demon’!
[Card Name: Triple Giant Brain Bug]
[Type: Elemental Card]
[Level: ????????]
[Race: Demon Race]
[Attributes: Insect/Dark]
[Mana: 4200]
[Attack: 3600]
[Defense: 3000]
[Ultimate Skills: Devour, Dark Bug Cannon, Triple Bug Cannon, Bite]
Even its combined stats were higher than the ‘Blood Wing Bug Demon’.
But stats alone didn’t fully determine the strength of a Mana Spirit.
The “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” was clearly at an advantage when facing the ‘Triple Giant Brain Bug’ until it used its ultimate skill!
A thick black beam suddenly shot from one of the ‘Triple Giant Brain Bug’s’ mouths, sending the enraged “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” flying!
Then, the other two huge mouths began to gather energy simultaneously!
