…
On the Red Side’s Competitors’ Platform.
Angelia held a Magus Card in her hand, a hint of astonishment in her eyes.
The speed at which Dark summoned had already surprised her, but what truly astounded her was the extraordinary method that transformed a Tier 1 Magus Golem into a Tier 2 one!
“I actually lost to a Fast Summon on a Four-star Magus Golem…”
She muttered, then a faint smile appeared on her face.
“How interesting.”
Since she started as a Second Year, there have been no in-class duels, so Angelia has hardly participated in any duels herself. It had been over a year and a half since she last felt this excitement.
But this excitement comes with a price!
“Flip Lion, Yellow Face!”
With a command, the mask of the Flip Lion instantly changed from white to yellow!
Its slender limbs suddenly swelled up, especially its four lion paws, which extended sharp claws like blades!
Visibly, the Flip Lion’s attack increased by 300 points!
[Attack: 1500-1800]
White Face is sly, boosting speed.
Yellow Face is fierce, boosting attack.
Switching from White Face to Yellow Face, the Flip Lion’s speed returned to normal, but its attack increased.
It lowered its body, claws digging into the ground, boiling with rage!
Then it charged again towards the Eevee!
At this point, the Flip Lion’s base attack was already higher than Eevee’s, plus its lion size and sharp claws, once it got into close combat, it would surely gain an advantage.
To be safe, Angelia drew another card from her hand, ready to use it at any moment.
She had to take this seriously!
…
The Flip Lion on the field seemed to sense her thoughts, its naturally fierce aura intensifying. As it approached Eevee, it used all four limbs to leap up with a low roar!
However, Eevee, who had been waiting for a long time, was already prepared!
“Destructive Death Beam!”
Dark’s soft voice echoed.
Eevee opened its mouth again, but instead of the “Roar,” a terrifying white light with destructive energy emerged!
In the field of vision, everything turned white. Numerous rays of light were absorbed and gathered, forming a white ball in its mouth.
That ball of light instantly turned into a beam and shot out!
“Boom!”
The charging Flip Lion didn’t even have time to react before it was hit in the face by the “Destructive Death Beam”—the beam consumed it completely without pause!
When the glow dissipated, cheers erupted outside the arena.
The Flip Lion had turned into nothing but fragments of light.
Both were Four-star Magus Elementals.
Yet, they showed an absolute difference at this moment!
Eevee, which hadn’t moved since being summoned, only used two skills and completely evaporated the Four-star Magus Elemental Flip Lion!
…
“Mii…”
But after establishing its victory, Eevee smiled awkwardly.
Because it was stiff all over, it entered an abnormal state after using the “Destructive Death Beam.”
It would be immobile for the next round.
…
“Hmm?”
Angelia on the Red Side’s platform noticed this detail and immediately activated a prepared Magus Card!
Where the Flip Lion disappeared, a shadow suddenly spread.
From within the shadow, something stirred.
A black Flip Lion with a yellow mask lifted its upper body from the shadow!
“What is this?”
Dark on the Blue Side’s platform looked shocked, nearly interrupting his Sacrificial Summoning Spell preparation.
The shadow was originally very close to Eevee. When the shadow-like Flip Lion emerged, it leaped and pounced onto Eevee, its sharp claws reaching for its chest!
Eevee, stiff all over, could only let the Flip Lion leave deep scratches on its chest!
Fortunately, Eevee’s maximum Mana was 1900, and its defense wasn’t weak; otherwise, it would have been torn apart!
Immediately afterward, white light descended from the sky.
Stiff all over, Eevee managed to show a slightly frustrated expression before turning into light and merging with the descending white light!
“Using the Mana Spirit Eevee as a sacrifice, Sacrificial Summon—Eevee!”
Calm now, Dark completed a nested summoning.
In mid-air, two beams of white light converged to form a mysterious and intricate Sacrificial Summoning Array.
And a brand new Magus Elemental—a completely identical Eevee—gracefully appeared!
…
“Here we go again!”
Angelia covered her forehead.
“It seems these Magus Elementals have higher Mana and Defense than they appear. Otherwise, a Magus Elemental with less than fifty percent Mana wouldn’t be able to serve as a sacrifice for a same-tier summon.”
Using a same-tier Magus Elemental as a sacrifice to summon another same-tier Magus Elemental, this nesting operation aims mainly to eliminate unresolvable negative states or refresh skill cooldowns.
And the cost is losing a fully capable same-tier Magus Elemental.
The pros and cons need to be weighed by the Duelist.
She glanced at the newly activated Secret Rite Card.
-“Leonardo da Vinci’s Sketchbook!”
The card showed a notebook submerged in shadows.
…
The famous Magus Leonardo da Vinci, who studied dragon eggs, drew thousands of dragon eggs. Accidentally breaking one, he used projection magic to imprint the memory of the egg onto the notebook, finally escaping the endless cycle of drawing dragon eggs.
This legendary Secret Rite Card, “Leonardo da Vinci’s Sketchbook,” allows a Magus Elemental to be summoned from the shadow when marked Magus Elementals die, creating an exact replica!
This is actually a type of “Special Summon.”
Crossing Fast Summon and Sacrificial Summon, using Secret Rite Cards to Special Summon new Magus Elementals!
…
Unfortunately, the opponent also had a countermeasure, thus losing the chance to win unexpectedly.
Angelia frowned slightly, reaching for her deck.
The first round had passed, and the second round of battle had just begun.
…
[Battle Phase] [30s]
While both players drew cards, the two Magus Elementals on the field engaged in battle!
The newly summoned Eevee had no time to show off its cute ribbon before being instantly pounced on by the Flip Lion!
“Mii!”
Eevee became furious, its two ribbon antennae instantly extending and wrapping around the Flip Lion’s front legs, pulling it back.
Eevee shook its head, about to use “Moon Power” to punish the lion, but suddenly noticed symbols appearing in its eyes.
“Mii?”
Close contact triggered the effect of “Enchanting Body.”
This shadow Flip Lion was clearly enchanted by the adorable Eevee.
Eevee’s lips curled, taking a small sidestep, jumping away, and then curiously looking at the lone floating Magus Ball in the Red Side’s Summoning Area!
It’s just a duel, right? No need to be too violent.
If you can charm the opponent’s Magus Elemental and break its Life Barrier, you get hugs, kisses, cuddles, and a little red flower!
…
On the Red Side’s platform, Angelia was still checking the two new cards she had drawn, when she suddenly noticed something amiss in the field.
She turned her head sharply and saw the Flip Lion hanging motionless, while the pink Magus Elemental opened its mouth toward the Magus Ball.
Suddenly, moonlight poured down from the sky.
Pure, clean moonlight quickly gathered in its mouth, forming a ball!
…
In that instant, Angelia felt an ominous premonition. Her cerebral cortex tingled, and almost instinctively, she pointed her finger.
All her Mana flowed into her fingertips, radiating toward the Magus Ball below!
Almost simultaneously,
“Moon Power” burst forth as a beam!
Angelia hastily bent her hand!
The Red Side’s Magus Ball instantly flew upward.
But during the time it accelerated from zero, the pure moonlight beam already shot toward it!
The Magus Ball’s Life Barrier appeared to crack visibly.
Mana rapidly decreased.
But at the last moment, it finally escaped the range of “Moon Power”!
“Whoosh!”
The flying Magus Ball dimmed, as if it might shatter at any moment.
Angelia was drenched in sweat!
Lacking duel experience, her reaction to such sudden moves was still too slow.
But she didn’t perish because of it.
…
The audience outside the arena cheered loudly at the sudden excitement.
Eevee puffed up its cheeks, showing a hint of dissatisfaction.
Unlike the evolved Eevee, which has two powerful offensive skills, only “Moon Power” among its three skills has high power.
After this move, only the weaker “Enchanting Voice” remains.
If it continues to fight, it will have to use its claws.
But how could such a cute and elegant Magus Elemental use its claws to fight?
Eevee shook its head vigorously, using its ribbons to tie the Flip Lion tighter, then flipped it over, using its head to slam it into the ground!
…
“Flip Lion, Red Face!”
The Flip Lion in Enchantment State instantly changed its face.
The yellow mask turned red.
Red Face is loyal, boosting defense.
[Defense: 1500-1800]
As its skull hardened, the sound when it hit the ground became sharper!
“BOOM!”
Dark on the Blue Side’s platform showed surprise: “Can it change faces even under Enchantment? Is that mask a reactive prop? Does it follow the Magus’s voice to change?”
Before he could think further, Angelia issued another command.
“Flip Lion, Black Face!”
Black Face is intelligent, boosting Mana.
The red mask immediately turned black.
The Flip Lion, stimulated from all sides, finally broke free from the Enchantment State.
But with its attack, defense, and speed all returning to normal, the Flip Lion was like a toothless cat, struggling to escape the ribbon bindings and getting pounded repeatedly.
…
However, Angelia’s delay strategy had succeeded.
She drew a new Magus Card from her hand.
“Normal Summon, ‘Exquisite Sphere’!”
With a burst of white light, a metal sphere with exquisite lacework appeared in the air.
It opened its mouth and swallowed the dimming Red Side’s Magus Ball!
…
[Card Name: Exquisite Sphere]
[Type: Elemental Card]
[Level: ???]
[Race: Mechanical Kin]
[Attribute: Steel Attribute]
[Mana: 700]
[Attack: 0]
[Defense: 2000]
[Ultimate Skill: None]
…
A Three-star Mechanical Kin, Steel Attribute, Silver-colored Exquisite Sphere!
Trading 0 attack for 2000 defense, this exceeds conventional white cards!
But a Magus who understands Exquisite Spheres would realize—Angelia’s Exquisite Sphere is also a special individual!
Under normal circumstances, an Exquisite Sphere is only the size of a bowl, impossible to hold a Magus Ball.
But Angelia’s Exquisite Sphere has a diameter of two meters!
This volume is more than enough to hold a Magus Ball, or even two people.
Its flaw may lie in its open surface.
The incomplete closure reduces its protective capabilities.
But in a duel match, the ability to move the Magus Ball in the air gives the Exquisite Sphere an advantage.
In short, after summoning the Exquisite Sphere, Angelia could focus more on attacking!
…
She glanced at the three Magus Cards left in her hand and sighed slightly.
This duel was taking longer than expected.
…
On the other side, Dark added two new cards to his hand.
[Curse Cage: Imp Beast]
[Greed II]
Seeing these cards, Dark’s heart sank slightly.
These two Magus Cards couldn’t bring substantial changes.
Now his remaining strength was limited to the Eevee on the field. If Angelia’s senior pulled out any tricks, he would struggle to cope.
“Summon the Imp Beast first!”
Having an additional Magus Elemental means having more possibilities.
Dark directly summoned the Imp Beast above the Summoning Area.
The Imp Beast, which appeared for the second time in the duel arena, looked back at Dark with pleading eyes, indicating it didn’t want to loaf off.
Dark grinned and asked, “Can your needles be fine enough to pierce through the gaps of the Exquisite Sphere?”
