Chapter 445: You Have One Round to Use Your Imagination (2.5k)
“By the name of Dark Demon DiMont, Mana Summoning — Primordial Dragon Egg!”
When Dark started the summoning, even the professors in charge of the other three arenas subconsciously turned their gazes towards him.
Of course, they were only planning to glance once and then turn back.
But once they glanced, they couldn’t tear their eyes away.
A massive dragon egg materialized from the summoning light and stood quietly before the red Mana Guidance Ball.
It had no limbs and was clearly immobile, belonging to a special type of Mana Spirit.
Although egg-shaped Mana Spirits were not common, they weren’t rare either; they were just rarely used.
However, the dragon egg summoned by Dark emitted a faint primordial aura, a sense of time that ordinary people could not perceive, causing the three professors to involuntarily stiffen.
Unlike the professors’ keen senses, Wit Gold instinctively felt a sense of danger when he saw Dark summon an egg.
He hastened his summoning speed, compressing it to nearly five seconds!
Among the top students in the first year, apart from Dark, the fastest anyone else could compress a regular summoning spell was to this level.
In reality, this was already the standard for end-of-second-year assessments, a very excellent achievement.
Therefore, before the dragon egg successfully hatched, Wit’s first Mana Spirit had already appeared in the blue summoning zone.
But it was also an unexpected new Mana Spirit!
The students watching from outside suddenly realized that both duelists had summoned Mana Spirits they had never revealed before!
This made them instinctively feel that both sides had brought out their trump cards.
And indeed, that was the case with Wit.
The Mana Spirit he summoned at the beginning was refined from his own blood under Tom Nixon’s guidance, used as a special auxiliary ingredient, and combined with another core ingredient to create it.
The method used in refining it was intricate, a special technique only magi with unique talents could employ.
Using this method, he crafted a total of three Mana Spirits, each incredibly powerful.
For instance, the Mana Spirit he summoned now was a standout among three-stars, almost replacing “Gigant” in his heart.
That was a terrifying giant insect as thick as a barrel!
[Card Name: Blood Megascolia]
[Type: Elemental Card]
[Level: ???]
[Race: Insect Type]
[Attribute: Bug]
[Mana: 1450]
[Attack: 1450]
[Defense: 1450]
[Ultimate Skills: Bloodlust, Blood-Refined Insect Armor, Blood Source Explosion]
Three ultimate skills gave this “Blood Megascolia” the quality of three orange cards.
Its stats were standard, though it had 50 less attack compared to “Gigant.”
However, in the actual combat of three-star Mana Spirits, those 50 points of attack were insignificant.
Moreover, in every aspect, “Blood Megascolia” surpassed “Gigant.”
Especially its three ultimate skills, whether it was “Bloodlust” for sustained damage, “Blood-Refined Insect Armor” for increased attack and defense, or “Blood Source Explosion,” which caused tremendous damage and could transform into a corresponding number of “Blood Bugs” after exploding, all were extremely practical.
Wit Gold had watched the duel between Dark and Justin Wayne, knowing that Dark could summon a five-star Mana Spirit in just nine seconds.
Though his “Blood Megascolia” couldn’t match a five-star Mana Spirit, it could use self-explosion to severely injure it and then summon another five-star Mana Spirit — “Blood Demon” — using the “Blood Bugs” produced by the explosion as祭品.
If a “specific environment” was present, “Blood Demon” could be summoned normally, making it Wit’s strongest trump card.
If even “Blood Demon” couldn’t secure a win, then losing was losing — at least he had tried.
After all, Wit Gold didn’t believe he could win, just as Robert said, surviving for a few more rounds counted as a victory, even if it wasn’t as strong as Justin Wayne.
However, even this bottom line he considered unbreakable required strength to defend.
Two months had allowed him to advance significantly, but Dark’s progress would be even greater!
…
Even though “hatching” took some time, when Wit’s “Blood Megascolia” wriggled over with its massive body, the “Primordial Dragon Egg” had already cracked open with numerous fissures.
“Roar—”
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, despite appearing somewhat immature, the roar with clear dragon might burst forth from the eggshell.
The silver-white baby dragon with blue eyes abruptly broke through the shell and hatched!
…
At the same time, the cooldown on Dark’s summoning completed, and he casually summoned “Huhu.”
As the light of “Huhu’s” summon fell, the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” was taking flight.
The nearly three-meter-tall baby dragon, carrying its nascent dragon aura, rushed towards the blue half of the field like the wind!
The narrow field for dragon species was crossed in a blink.
The “Blood Megascolia” suddenly reared up, its blood-red wrinkles rolling, emitting a vivid crimson glow.
“Blood Megascolia, Insect Armor!”
Wit Gold’s alarmed voice rang out hurriedly.
The blood-red glow emanating from the “Blood Megascolia’s” body solidified, forming a flowing blood-like armor.
With the “Blood-Refined Insect Armor”加持, the “Blood Megascolia’s” explosive power increased by twenty percent.
Wit Gold’s warning alarms sounded, and he decisively ordered again, “Do not fear, make the opponent pay the price, Blood Source Explosion!”
“Boom!”
The “Blood Megascolia’s” eyes flashed red, and it exploded violently before even coming into contact with the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon”!
This was a decisive move.
The blood wave unleashed by the exploding “Blood Megascolia” surged towards the direction of the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon.”
Without hesitation, the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” charged in, and in an instant, it was engulfed by the explosion.
But it let out a long roar and broke through the blood wave, biting towards the blue Mana Guidance Ball.
Wit Gold tightly gripped the “Blood Demon” card in his hand, but the summoning spell, which took five seconds to complete, was only halfway through when the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon’s” huge mouth enveloped the blue Mana Guidance Ball.
He gritted his teeth and chose to continue summoning rather than controlling the Mana Guidance Ball to flee.
Having seen multiple times how controlling the Mana Guidance Ball left no time for summoning, resulting in being hunted down to death, he instinctively chose to rely on luck.
But as soon as half of the “Blood Demon’s” head emerged from the card, the unguarded blue Mana Guidance Ball was bitten to pieces by the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon”!
If it had 8000 HP, it might have lasted longer, but with only 2000 Mana Value, the Life Barrier couldn’t withstand the bite of the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon.”
“Bang!”
As the Life Barrier shattered, the Mana Value scattered like starlight, returning to zero!
[2000 – 0]
…
Victory and defeat never give you time to prepare psychologically.
The summoning light of the “Blood Demon” finally landed in the blue summoning zone, and the blood-skinned demon, driven by its “Bloodlust” instinct, bit the nearby “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon.”
But without using its ultimate skill, it couldn’t break through the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon’s” scales.
The “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” opened its big, adorable eyes and, after determining the outcome, grabbed its head with two dragon claws, rubbing it like a dog’s head.
…
This small interlude added color to the quickly concluded match.
…
The spectators outside the arena only regained their composure from the shock of Dark summoning a six-star dragon species.
Whether it was the sacred aura and imposing dragon might emitted by the baby dragon, or its overly swift moves, everything was astonishing.
Dark Demon DiMont’s “ultra-model” was becoming increasingly “ultra-model”!
As for Wit Gold, who lost to Justin Wayne one second faster, he was no longer noticeable.
After all, whoever it was, the result would likely be the same.
Losing wasn’t scary.
What was scary was that others, or even oneself, believed that failure was inevitable.
Not feeling overly dejected, Wit Gold, as he retrieved the “Blood Demon,” felt only a slight, unremarkable disappointment.
