Chapter 517: Dark Duel of Dark Demon (10k)
On the circular corridor above, Pandora rested her hands on the railing, her gaze cold and sharp as she looked down at the arena below.
Aurora and Phelix were both by her side, their eyes also fixed downward, equally oblivious to the burning grey flames.
Instead, it was the conversation between Dark and Angus Jeffrey that puzzled them.
The same was true for the other spectators.
Angus Jeffrey’s remarks were indeed overly exaggerated. Phrases like “dueling is my life” and “I exist solely for dueling” did not sound like something he would say himself.
Some people even bluntly blurted out that perhaps there was something wrong with Angus Jeffrey’s brain.
Of course, some were more focused on Dark Demon’s undefeated record.
The names mentioned by Angus Jeffrey were not unknown figures either.
Those who frequented the dueling hall of Saint Maryann Academy knew these names.
Despite being second and third-year students, the top students from each year already had the capability to fight beyond their ranks.
Just like the Dark Demon in front of them, one could not simply measure his strength by his year.
However, Dark Demon’s record was indeed too extraordinary.
After all, he had just graduated from first year!
The noble gentlemen and ladies certainly hadn’t forgotten that Angus Jeffrey was one of his previous defeats!
Of course, this was now a chance for Angus Jeffrey to redeem himself.
Although his remarks were somewhat nonsensical, his confidence and determination were evident, thus gaining him a few more supporters.
Though, these supporters only believed so before the duel began.
Once the duel started and the outcome became apparent, they might easily change their minds.
…
Dark confirmed that no one else could see the grey flames, then decisively took action.
He immediately shouted, “Olivia, attack!”
His voice, amplified through the device, echoed across the field.
But neither the spectators above nor Olivia below responded.
Angus Jeffrey sneered, “No use wasting energy; within my dueling domain, no one can detect your anomalies!”
Dark’s heart sank, realizing the additional effect of the grey flames.
Within the range of these flames, any attempt to reveal information about them would be altered, making it impossible to notice the anomaly.
Angus Jeffrey likely wasn’t new to deploying such a dueling domain.
The previous duelist from the training hall was clearly one of its victims.
Judging by his terrified escape, he probably lost all memories related to the grey flames after the duel.
In fact, what he lost might not be limited to just his memory!
Angus Jeffrey’s dueling domain resembled the “Dark Duel” Dark remembered.
“I wonder how fair this dueling domain is? Will it have the same obvious bias as the Dark Duel?”
Dark’s mind raced.
In less than half a minute, he made another move—attempting to step off the dueling platform.
But as he reached the edge, grey flames suddenly leaped up, as if to burn him to ashes.
Dark instinctively pulled back his foot, seeing the flames retreat.
Angus Jeffrey crossed his arms, watching Dark’s reaction with a smirk, “Seems you’re just like any ordinary person when faced with the unknown.”
Dark smiled, turning back to the spellboard, “I am an ordinary person. Let me guess, you gained this ability since last weekend?”
Angus Jeffrey’s brow twitched, biting his lip but quickly covering it, “Do you think I’d share information with you? I won’t reveal anything about the dueling domain, including its rules. Dark Demon, feel the pain of failure under the fear of the unknown!”
Dark slightly raised his head, noticing the referee and commentator showed no reaction to his words, confirming the power of the grey flames.
As for the rules within the dueling domain?
Since it was a duel, the rule “the winner takes all” applied.
Even if he didn’t know the rules, victory was paramount.
Furthermore…
The grey flame-defined dueling domain might not be unbeatable.
His fingertips touched the mana spirit card in the slot, pondering swiftly.
Considering Angus Jeffrey’s sudden shift, his intense obsession with dueling, the forced logic, and the eerie feeling from the grey flames.
The signs were clear.
“Could something from the Underworld have attached itself to him?”
Dark quickly composed himself.
As Angus Jeffrey said, the unknown brought fear.
But Dark was not entirely ignorant.
Gathering information, deducing, and ultimately finding answers.
He was confident he knew much more than Angus Jeffrey imagined.
This explained why the seemingly weak grey flames could obscure everyone’s perception, including Pandora and Olivia.
Because it was an entity from the Underworld!
The Underworld and the living world.
The dead and the living.
A wall separated them, unbridgeable.
Before the end of days, the living could never truly understand death.
Even with the Church’s resources, knowledge of the Underworld was limited.
Only a few races understood it, with demons comprising most of them.
Lack of understanding was the primary reason humans couldn’t break through the grey flames’ concealment.
“In this dueling domain, if I lose, I might lose part of my memory. But if I win?”
Dark’s thoughts were broad, quickly realizing this.
He suddenly found interest in the “Dark Duel” within this domain.
“Not in a hurry.”
Excitement surged in Dark’s eyes.
This dueling domain seemed similar to a ritual.
Losers paid the price, winners… naturally gained benefits!
…
Angus Jeffrey watched Dark’s expression shift from confusion to excitement, a sudden realization hitting him.
He quickly realized Dark Demon was different from the duelists he had defeated recently.
The grey fire on his forehead flickered in various emotions, while the commentator, unaware of the true exchange, introduced the two duelists.
The female commentator, dressed in deep blue, had a plunging neckline revealing her deep cleavage.
Her eyebrows were finely drawn, nose high and proud, lips red and luscious, hair straight to her waist, and the tailored suit accentuated her curves, making her appear sensuous.
“Surely everyone has a good understanding of the two contestants. Without further ado, let’s focus on the duel itself and see which contestant will dominate and emerge victorious. The match begins!”
“Blow!”
The referee blew the whistle in sync with the commentator’s announcement.
The duel, starkly different on the surface and hidden aspects, officially commenced.
“Standby Phase” [30s]
A thirty-second countdown projection appeared above the field.
Dark did not overlook the start of the duel due to overthinking.
While drawing cards, he said, “Senior Jeffrey, I’m genuinely curious about the cost of losing. Can you tell me?”
“Hope you’ll still be smiling then!” Jeffrey sneered, drawing a card.
From the grey flames burning on his forehead, a cold aura flowed into his mind, keeping him perpetually calm.
In this state, his thoughts were not hindered by emotions, allowing him to remain resolute.
Even if the Mana Guidance Ball’s Life Barrier had only 1 point of mana value left, he could still counterattack fiercely with the calmest mindset.
…
Both duelists drew cards almost simultaneously.
After receiving five cards, Dark immediately spread them out, quickly checking them.
[Huhu]
[Light Emissary]
[Mana Spirit]
[Bliss III Moon]
[Curse Cage: Imp]
“Huhu…”
Dark’s eyes flashed, immediately pulling out “Huhu.”
After the last duel, he had a general understanding of Angus Jeffrey’s deck.
As an outstanding student in fourth year, Angus Jeffrey possessed many chains to quickly special summon high-star mana spirits.
Last time, his overwhelming pressure partly owed to Dark’s luck.
If he hadn’t drawn strong mana spirit cards early, he might have struggled against the five-star mana spirit “Li Yuan Gigantic Demon” in the first wave.
But now, with “Huhu,” everything was manageable.
At critical moments, he could use “Bliss III Moon” to evolve Mana Spirit or Imp to handle crises.
When Imp evolved into the bipedal Black Diarumon, Light Emissary would come into play.
Thus, his initial five mana spirit cards were well-chosen!
But just as he prepared, he suddenly heard Angus Jeffrey’s maniacal laughter!
With grey flames burning on his forehead, Angus Jeffrey released his malice unhesitantly.
Glaring at Dark, he abruptly drew a card from his hand and sneered, “Looks like fate isn’t on your side. You’ll face the evil ghosts of the underworld!”
The moment he spoke, the thirty seconds of the “Standby Phase” ended.
“Ticking!”
“Ticking!”
“Ticking!”
The countdown for the first round of the “Battle Phase” instantly began.
Both duelists instinctively performed their normal summon spells upon hearing the sound.
“By the name of Dark Demon, Mana Summoning!”
“By the name of Angus Jeffrey, Mana Summoning!”
Without a doubt.
At the beginning of the first round, both chose to summon first-tier mana spirits.
Angus Jeffrey did not reuse the strategy of summoning “Frozen Land of Li Yuan.”
As the summoning lights fell into the summoning zones of the Red Side and Blue Side, the summoned mana spirits appeared simultaneously.
In the Red Side’s summoning zone, a turtle-like mana spirit emerged.
Only those with broad experience could recognize that this was not a simple turtle.
Turtle, but it’s actually a worm!
“Zap!”
In the solemn-sounding call, Teacher HuHu poked its yellow little head out from the front hole of the red hard shell, then its soft, tentacle-like limbs emerged.
A quarter of an hour ago, it was still struggling with homework in the room, but now it was already standing on the dueling field.
As Dak Demon’s usual opening move, HuHu’s abilities and mindset were beyond doubt, and could fully be relied upon by Dak.
However, what materialized in the blue summoning zone was a golem resembling a small coffin!
The entire body of this golem was made of translucent ice, emitting white mist formed by frost, as if something inside was struggling to break free, trembling intermittently.
“It’s the ‘Netherworld Ice Coffin’!”
The commentator on the platform suddenly shouted loudly.
“In these few days of duels, Angus Jeffrey has shown us the magic of this golem multiple times. Its ultimate skill, the ‘Netherworld Path,’ can summon wandering ghosts from the dead-end paths of the underworld.”
Audiences who were familiar with the “Netherworld Ice Coffin” couldn’t help but show a look of pity.
Angus Jeffrey’s ability to use the “Netherworld Ice Coffin” as a springboard to special summon the seven-star golem “Frost Wraith” from his deck had long been no secret.
As a fourth-year student at Saint Maryann Academy, Angus Jeffrey’s capabilities were clearly evident.
Even if a higher-grade student stood against him, it would be extremely difficult to find a way to counter it.
Let alone a first-year student.
Even Pandora couldn’t help but worry about Dak.
“HuHu” might be a powerful mana card, but it actually didn’t have good capabilities to deal with elemental ultimate skills.
Relying solely on defense to withstand the attack would likely result in being overwhelmed by the “Frost Wraith’s” long-range burst.
On the red competitor’s platform,
Dak Demon showed no sign of panic at all.
Having experienced it before, he knew very well that the “Frost Wraith” needed at least ten seconds to break out from the “Netherworld Ice Coffin.”
This ten-second interval was enough for him to summon again.
“By the name of Dak Demon, Mana Summoning—come out, Mana Nightmare Demon!”
Before seven seconds had passed since the summoning of the “Netherworld Ice Coffin,” Dak had successfully summoned the “Mana Nightmare Demon.”
“Yomimi—”
A small, adorable figure, entirely ink green like a ghost, appeared in mid-air.
It curiously observed its surroundings, spinning around innocently in the air.
Of course, anyone who was fooled by its harmless appearance would likely have nightmares at night.
“Mana Nightmare Demon, hide,” Dak said calmly, taking advantage of the summoning cooldown.
The small Mana Nightmare Demon immediately钻入了HuHu的洞里，与它融为一体。
而安格斯?杰弗里在召唤出“黄泉冰棺”后并未停手，他也施展出了第二次通常召唤术。
只见蓝方召唤区中，一只布偶般的小白熊缓缓爬起。
“袖白熊，雪隐。”
虽然是三星的魔导精灵，但这“袖白熊”在杰弗里的卡组中只是为了成为祭品而存在。
它的必杀技“雪隐”能使它凭空隐身。
随着雪花的飘落，“袖白熊”的身影迅速消失。
这是安格斯?杰弗里为防万一的后手。
三秒后，
“黄泉冰棺”上的十秒倒计时彻底归零。
一瞬间，冰封的棺盖从内到外骤然破碎！
刺耳的尖叫声划破天际。
从冰棺中爆发出了极寒的冻气。
那冻气之猛烈，甚至使得场中的温度直线下降。
雍容华贵的“冰霜巫妖”从那“黄泉冰棺”中坐直了身体。
它身材高挑，曲线惊人，如同旗袍般的长裙紧贴肌肤，暴露在外的肌肤苍白骇人，有淡淡的蓝色血液透出血管，在皮下流动。
当尖叫声顿止时，“冰霜巫妖”合上了嘴，纤细的手臂随之抬起，戴上头顶的冰冠。
“黄泉冰棺”的另一个必杀技“棺中人”在此时发挥了作用。
“冰霜巫妖”周围浮现出一圈散发幽光的冰棱，这一圈“黄泉冰环”能让“冰霜巫妖”的冰系和幽灵系必杀技在短时间内得到将近百分之五十的效果增幅。
尽管这一次没有“冰霜权杖”在手，但“冰霜巫妖”的法系爆发能力，也已经提升到了一个足够惊人的程度。
“冰霜爆发！”
“冰霜巫妖”尚未从冰棺中走出，安格斯?杰弗里便骤然喝道。
瞬时间，“冰霜巫妖”高举右手，无数寒光从那“黄泉冰环”中涌入掌心，化为寒潮漩涡。
紧接着它猛然挥手，掌心漩涡化为冰澜暴涌而出。
冰澜所过之处，冰霜凝结，寒冰蔓延，竟是将大半个场地生生冰封。
当冰澜消失时，挡在红方魔导球前的HuHu已经变成了一座冰雕。
它身后的魔导球也未能完全躲避“冰霜爆发”的袭击，有半边结界被冰封凝固。
即便威力遭到了削弱，但红方魔导球的生命值也从8000点，骤然暴跌到了6100点！
“感受痛苦吧！”
安格斯?杰弗里的声音瞬间拔高，脸上荡起了略显疯狂的笑意。
在红方选手台上，
达克在红方魔导球的生命结界受到攻击时，脸色一变，感受到一股极寒侵袭而来，心口更是爆发出一阵剧痛，就像是自身遭到了“冰霜爆发”的攻击！
他猛地抓住心口，眼中闪过一丝愤怒。
【暴怒+1】
寒冷与剧痛，让他对这“决斗领域”有了更多的认知。
如果不是对“黑暗游戏”的本质有所了解，他多半会因此而陷入恐惧。
但现在，他仅仅是依靠强大的自制力便成功控制住了情绪，然后立刻开始施展通常召唤术。
这第三次召唤本该已经完成，但却被突然而来的剧痛所打断。
好在“冰霜巫妖”的手中并没有“冰霜权杖”，无法连续释放第二次“冰霜爆发”。
“HuHu”虽然被冰封，但藏在它身体中的“Mana Nightmare Demon”却幸免于难。
随着“恐惧宝石”的红光从内部绽放，“HuHu”体表的寒冰寸寸绽裂。
依靠着必杀技“结实”，它硬是保住了一命。
然而它那仅仅900点的魔力，却只剩下了最后1点！
这意味着它已经无法使用任何必杀技。
就算作为祭品献上，成功献祭的概率也是低到几乎为零。
因此它虽然还活着，但却已经死了。
除非达克能够摸到一张“能量药剂”。
但它的任务也已经完成。
不但在七星魔导精灵的恐怖爆发下保住了“Mana Nightmare Demon”，还削弱了魔导球所受的伤害，更是换掉了“冰霜巫妖”的一个必杀技。
当“极乐”的光辉从空中洒落之时，它便意识到自己的任务已经完成。
接下来，将是“Mana Nightmare Demon”的主场！
……
达克?迪蒙的出奇镇定让安格斯?杰弗里感到了惊愕。
在这场决斗之前，每一个和他决斗过的决斗者都在感受到痛苦之后产生了恐惧的情绪，并因此而极大地影响了后续的发挥。
然而年仅十三岁的达克却仅仅是在一声痛呼之后便咬牙硬挺了过来。
这份镇定，让他几乎以为对方早已知晓了“决斗领域”的奥秘。
但达克在决斗开始之前的试探告诉他，他并不知晓。
既然如此，便只能解释为他的心理素质过分强大。
“看你能忍耐到什么时候！”
安格斯?杰弗里不禁咬牙。
随着魔导精灵的生命结界数值降低得越多，决斗者承受的痛苦便会越重，这种持续渐进的痛苦能将几乎所有人都拖垮。
他不相信仅凭一个刚满十三岁的纨绔子弟，就能一直忍住。
安格斯?杰弗里猛然喝道：“冰霜巫妖，扑杀他！”
失去了最强爆发手段的“冰霜巫妖”，依然拥有一个防御必杀技和控制必杀技，就算贴身肉搏，也不会弱于五、六星的魔导精灵。
可惜“黄泉冰棺”在被破棺之后，魔力会降到最低点，已经失去了作为祭品的可能性。
否则的话，他还能依靠“黄泉冰棺”和“袖白熊”，献祭召唤一只六星魔导精灵。
现在的话，便只能继续埋伏，等待第二回合的开始。
当然，前提是达克?迪蒙能够撑过这第一回合！
安格斯?杰弗里紧紧盯着场地之中，将第三张魔导卡转入右手。
但当他如此思考时，沐浴在极乐之光中的“Mana Nightmare Demon”急速进化，从原本孩童一般的模样变成了较为成熟的少女形态。
当粉色的光辉被其完全吸收时，它已经变成了“头戴尖顶圆帽的魔法少女”。
仿佛是从地狱深渊走出的“Mana Nightmare Demon”，一登场便散发出了远超星级的强大气息。
五星的“Mana Nightmare Demon”和七星的“冰霜巫妖”。
在三围属性上的差距，却并没有想象中的大。
“Mana Nightmare Demon”的魔攻防是2700、2500、1600。
“冰霜巫妖”的魔攻防也不过是3500、2500、2000。
双方同为不死种，同样有着幽灵属性。
模样的话，倒是“冰霜巫妖”更为成熟。
……
此时那平台上的女解说已经说不出话来，她既不知道“HuHu”为何没有死，也不知道“Mana Nightmare Demon”为何能够进化成“Mana Nightmare Demon”。
当然，在如此焦灼的局势之下，也没有人会去注意她。
……
而此时此刻。
体验到“黑暗决斗”残酷一面的达克?迪蒙，也失去了与安格斯?杰弗里周旋的耐心。
他伸手一指，便是果断命令：“Mana Nightmare Demon，展开空间。”
“Yomimi—”
“Mana Nightmare Demon”丝毫没有感受到现场气氛的险恶。
它在一声撒娇似的轻叫之后，猛然张开如手臂般的触手，对着前方使出了必杀技——“梦魇空间”！
霎时间，浓浓的紫色烟雾从其身下爆发而出，似缓实快地向四周铺开。
几乎转眼之间，那浓紫色的烟雾便铺满了整个红方半场，并且继续向蓝方区域铺了过去。
“难道又是场地类型的必杀技？”
“The ‘Sin World,’ filled with pain, Angus Jeffrey, immediately felt a terrible premonition.
And his premonition… was clearly correct!
Following his command, the ‘Frost Wraith’ sliding rapidly on the ice towards Dark suddenly found itself stuck as if in quicksand, its speed becoming as slow as a tortoise.
Originally, with its speed, it could quickly penetrate the Red Side’s Summoning Area, but now it felt that the Red Side’s Summoning Area was getting further and further away from it.
Immediately afterward, it saw a red light racing from its right side, striking its side like lightning.
‘Swish!’
The ‘Frost Wraith,’ whose attack speed had not slowed down, immediately opened its claws and fiercely grabbed at the red light.
However, the true pain came from its left side, leaving a deep wound on its body and causing magic power to surge out wildly.
Its fierce claws, however, completely missed their target.
The red light flashed once and then disappeared.
‘Agh!’
The ‘Frost Wraith’ let out a howl, its claws flailing wildly in all directions, but to no avail.
With its intelligence level, it was impossible for it to figure out what was happening.
The ‘Mana Nightmare Demon’ had already vanished within the ‘Nightmare Space.’
With more knowledge, its utilization and development of the ‘Nightmare Space’ had greatly improved.
‘Aghaa!’
The ‘Frost Wraith’ only saw the red light reappear before its eyes, but pain erupted behind it, leaving another wound on its back.
The laughter of the ‘Mana Nightmare Demon’ echoed within the ‘Nightmare Space.’
A chilling aura gradually spread out.
‘It’s a field spell of the illusion type!’
Angus Jeffrey on the Blue Side’s platform suddenly tightened his grip on the Mana Guidance Card in his hand.
Illusions and illusionary ultimate skills were extremely troublesome, sometimes even more terrifying than invisibility or stealth.
But Mana Guidance Elves possessing similar ultimate skills were very rare. Angus Jeffrey had some impression of the ‘Mana Nightmare Demon.’ He knew that Dark had once summoned the ‘Mana Nightmare Demon,’ but he had just realized that this Mana Guidance Elf possessed such a terrifying field spell!
‘Frost Wraith, use ‘Icy Shield of Freeze’!’
The coolness flowing from the gray flames on its forehead allowed him to act calmly even when his emotions were fluctuating violently.
His Mana Guidance Card had already completed the summoning at this moment.
In the Blue Side’s Summoning Area, a brand new Mana Guidance Elf appeared.
It was a Mana Guidance Elf shaped like a snowball, overall resembling an ice slime, though it wasn’t one.
[Card Name: Remote Snow Sprite]
[Type: Elemental Card]
[Level: ???]
[Race: Elemental Species]
[Attribute: Ice]
[Magic Power: 1000]
[Attack: 0]
[Defense: 2000]
[Ultimate Skills: Elemental Regeneration, Rolling Snowball]
The ‘Remote Snow Sprite’ with 0 attack had a defense surpassing that of top-tier three-star Mana Guidance Elves. Its ultimate skill, ‘Elemental Regeneration,’ allowed it to regenerate once in an environment with high enough concentration of ice elements.
The ultimate skill ‘Rolling Snowball’ could only be used in a snowy environment, causing it to grow larger while rolling, with its attack increasing from 0 to a maximum of 3000 points!
Undoubtedly, this ‘Remote Snow Sprite’ and the ‘Remote Frost Sprite’ with the ‘Ice Element Heart’ were extremely rare powerful Mana Guidance Elves.
However, in the current environment, neither of its ultimate skills could be utilized.
Angus Jeffrey pointed his finger and issued another command: “Remote Snow Sprite, protect the Mana Guidance Ball.”
Thus, the Mana Guidance Elf immediately absorbed the Blue Side’s Mana Guidance Ball into its body, providing 2000 points of defense.
Clearly, Jeffrey was preparing against the sudden attack by the ‘Mana Nightmare Demon.’
At the same time,
The ‘Frost Wraith’ releasing the ‘Icy Shield of Freeze’ saw its defense increase to 2750 points after being expanded by eight layers of the shield, gaining a 37.5% damage reduction effect.
Additionally, the ‘Icy Shield of Freeze’ could inflict minor frost damage on close-range opponents.
It couldn’t be denied that this was an extremely correct response.
The ‘Mana Nightmare Demon’ with only 2500 attack points could no longer deal effective damage.
However, the unpredictable movements of the ‘Mana Nightmare Demon’ made it impossible for the ‘Frost Wraith’ to catch it, leading to a stalemate between them.
…
“Tick!”
…
The sound of round change abruptly appeared.
Both duelists, fully focused, instinctively reached for their cards.
“The next two Mana Guidance Cards will be key to breaking the deadlock.”
Dark immediately added two Mana Guidance Cards to his hand.
[Energetic Potion]
[Soul of the Moon Goddess I]
“Energetic Potion…”
Dark’s eyes flashed, and he immediately began the summoning.
“In the name of Dark Demon, Mana Summoning!”
Three seconds later, a flask filled with blue and white potion fell from the sky.
The lethargic ‘Huhu’ on the ground lifted its head slightly, shattering the potion bottle.
As the blue and white liquid spilled, its magic power instantly recovered to 201 points.
“Clack!”
‘Huhu’s gaze sharpened.
Using ‘Power Trick’ + ‘Defense Split,’ it could immediately lower the ‘Frost Wraith’s’ defense, allowing the ‘Mana Nightmare Demon’ to strike.
It quickly calculated various values in its mind. With the ‘Frost Wraith’s’ base defense of 2000 points, halved it would be 1000 points, plus the enhancement from ‘Icy Shield of Freeze’ and ‘Yellow Springs Ice Ring,’ totaling 1375 points.
The ‘Mana Nightmare Demon’ had 2500 attack points, capable of dealing about 1125 damage per hit.
Estimating the remaining magic power of the ‘Frost Wraith’ to be around 2500 points.
If attacked solely by the ‘Mana Nightmare Demon,’ it would take three hits to defeat it.
But in the Red Side’s Summoning Area, there was more than just the ‘Mana Nightmare Demon.’
After precise calculations, ‘Huhu’ called out again and immediately began using its ultimate skill ‘Power Trick.’
Its superpower ultimate skill had a range limit, but it could generally affect the Red Side’s half area.
As the superpower’s glow shone, ‘Huhu’s attack and defense swapped. When defense became 0 points, it launched the ultimate skill ‘Defense Split’ on the ‘Frost Wraith.’
The ‘Frost Wraith’s’ defense plummeted instantly!
‘Yomimi!’
The ‘Mana Nightmare Demon,’ thoroughly understanding ‘Huhu’s capabilities, charged at the ‘Frost Wraith’ without hesitation.
The same red light flashed, the same invisible attack.
The ‘Frost Wraith’ couldn’t distinguish between real and fake.
Although its owner knew the red light was merely a lure, he couldn’t discern where the ‘Mana Nightmare Demon’ was, making it impossible to give verbal commands.
The ‘Frost Wraith’s’ ‘Icy Shield of Freeze’ was completely torn apart.
It immediately let out a frantic scream, injecting magic power into the fading ‘Icy Shield of Freeze.’
But the next moment,
Its eyes widened as it saw another red light mixed with yellow, like lightning, rushing toward it.
In that instant, it realized this red lightning must be real and tried to activate ‘Malicious Gaze.’
Yet the red lightning was too fast, and before it could react, the ‘Icy Shield of Freeze,’ which had just been infused with magic power, was completely torn apart!
Immediately afterward, the ‘Mana Nightmare Demon’ emerged from behind and struck with a claw!
‘Rip!’
This seven-star ‘Frost Wraith’ was reduced to mere magic power in the playful antics of two Mana Guidance Elves.
At this moment, a murmur arose throughout the circular corridor.
However, the tension on the field was so intense that no one could discuss anything other than exclaiming in shock.
Angus Jeffrey finally drew a Field Card, but instead of using it, he chose to summon another six-star Mana Guidance Elf card!
He never imagined that when he sacrificed to summon this six-star Mana Guidance Elf, the ‘Frost Wraith’ already sustaining the ‘Icy Shield of Freeze’ would be killed so easily!
If it had happened in the past, his emotions would have surely spiraled out of control when the ‘Frost Wraith’ was killed.
Now, he remained calm and composed despite feeling astonished and angry.
The ‘White Bear Sleeve’ and ‘Remote Snow Sprite’ on the field turned into light and merged with the light released from the Mana Guidance Elf card, forming a massive Sacrificial Summoning Array.
The six-star Mana Guidance Elf was successfully summoned!
[Card Name: Remote Fog Demon]
[Type: Elemental Card]
[Level: ??????]
[Race: Undead Species]
[Attributes: Ghost Type/Ice Type]
[Magic Power: 3000]
[Attack: 2500]
[Defense: 1000]
[Ultimate Skills: Mist Body, Remote Ice Mist, Decapitation in the Mist.]
Appearing before everyone’s eyes, it was a mass of ice mist emitting an eerie blue glow.
The mist floated in the air, with three black holes seemingly at its face, from which wind blew with a howling sound, cold and icy.
Angus Jeffrey slammed his fist on the table and shouted, “Let the ice mist from Li Yuan blow into this place, utterly destroying the illusory world!”
“Whoosh—”
A gale roared like ghostly wails.
The ‘Remote Fog Demon’ immediately blew the ice mist, and the field spell with the ‘Obfuscation’ effect surged from the Blue Side’s half area towards the Red Side’s half area.
The ‘Nightmare Space,’ which had already invaded the Blue Side’s half area, was suddenly halted by the ice mist emitting an eerie blue glow.
Then the ice mist grew denser and denser, soon covering the entire Blue Side’s half area.
From above, the arena was divided into two worlds by purple smoke and blue ice mist.
The laughter of the ‘Mana Nightmare Demon’ and the ghostly cries of the ‘Remote Fog Demon’ echoed simultaneously.
The ‘Nightmare Space’ did not dissipate as Angus Jeffrey had hoped, driven away by the ‘Remote Ice Mist.’
He immediately picked up the Field Card, ready to summon it after the cooldown ended.
At the same time, he had already ordered the ‘Remote Fog Demon’ to use ‘Decapitation in the Mist.’
Dark, meanwhile, said to the ‘Mana Nightmare Demon,’ “Disrupt the tactics.”
Using a five-star Mana Guidance Elf to counter a six-star Mana Guidance Elf was already unwise, especially without any information about the six-star Mana Guidance Elf.
Now, with ‘Huhu’ having sacrificed itself bravely, only one ‘Mana Nightmare Demon’ remained on his field, sufficient for defense but lacking in offense. It was better to wait until the next round to reassess.
Of course, if Angus Jeffrey chose to attack proactively, he wouldn’t mind letting him experience the pain of curses!
As the words fell,
The ‘Remote Fog Demon’ instantly submerged into the ice mist.
With just a flicker of its form, the ‘Remote Fog Demon’ vanished completely.
Its body merged with the mist, becoming invisible and undetectable.
The ice mist at the intersection of ‘Remote Ice Mist’ and ‘Nightmare Space’ suddenly gathered and viciously drilled into the ‘Nightmare Space’!
