Chapter 698 “Subscribe Request” Dark Demon Dak Decisively Leads with a Smile (7.5k)
“Ultimate Skill — ‘Life Stream’!”
Accompanied by the melodious chirp of “Mewtwo,” the water containing vast life force shot out like a snake and encircled the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon.”
Its mana value, which had just plummeted, recovered significantly, and then the “Life Stream” continued to wrap around it, providing a mana recovery rate of 150-160 points per second for thirty seconds.
Although this amount of mana recovery seemed insignificant, it was very stable and could continue almost indefinitely.
After enduring this attack, the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” suddenly regained some clarity in its previously enraged and chaotic mind — the effect of “Moon’s Protection” finally took hold!
“Moon’s Protection” and “Foggy Field” had similar effects, but their mechanisms were completely different.
If “Foggy Field” acted internally, then “Moon’s Protection” acted externally. It wasn’t very effective against abnormalities caused by its own factors, but it wasn’t entirely ineffective either!
With the attack from the “Triple Giant Brain Bug,” the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” finally snapped out of it!
As its mind cleared, the power fueled by rage weakened, and the attack boost from “Dragon’s Inverted Scale” was reduced to only 50% of its base attack.
However, even at 50%, that still amounted to 1500 points!
At this moment, the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon’s” attack value had soared to 4500 points!
Its gaze quickly focused, and it fiercely glared at two of the giant heads of the “Triple Giant Brain Bug.” The two huge mouths in those heads simultaneously condensed the “Darkness Bug Cannon!”
The “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” had experienced this before.
Though the “Darkness Bug Cannon” wasn’t particularly powerful, it was roughly equivalent to the regular attack of the “Triple Giant Brain Bug.” However, it had strong pushing power, and each of the “Triple Giant Brain Bug’s” three heads could shoot a “Darkness Bug Cannon”!
With 2500 points of defense, if each “Darkness Bug Cannon” dealt 3600 points of damage, it would cause 1100 points of damage.
Three such attacks would certainly be fatal to the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon.”
However, this all depended on hitting all three “Darkness Bug Cannons”!
“Roar!”
The “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” roared suddenly, bursting with power beneath its feet, and flapping its wings hard to fly into the sky!
Then it rapidly zigzagged through the air, quickly closing in on the “Triple Giant Brain Bug.”
Once it got close enough, it had enough confidence to dodge the “Darkness Bug Cannons” and avoid repeating its previous mistake.
Seeing this, the two massive heads of the “Triple Giant Brain Bug” instantly froze, and the “Darkness Bug Cannons” they had been forming couldn’t be launched.
The unpredictable movement of the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” made it impossible to lock onto it.
But with the “Darkness Bug Cannons” already in formation, they had to be fired once they reached their limit.
“Grr—”
The “Triple Giant Brain Bug” let out a short bug cry at that instant, and the two “Darkness Bug Cannons” were forced to fire. These two “Darkness Bug Cannons” merged, expanding their attack width, but this emergency tactic failed.
The wider “Darkness Bug Cannons” passed through the entire field, barely grazing the tip of the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon’s” wing!
In that instant, excitement flashed in the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon’s” eyes. Without hesitation, it changed its path to a straight line and rushed toward the “Triple Giant Brain Bug” at full speed. Its claws, wrapped in moonlight, water, and bloody radiance, struck the center head of the “Triple Giant Brain Bug!
“Now, ‘Crush’!”
On the blue side platform, Angus Jeffrey’s urgent command rang out.
The two outer heads of the “Triple Giant Brain Bug” immediately opened their jaws and bit down on the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” in the middle!
Those two sets of jaws contained bug-type energy, and their already sharp teeth were further strengthened, making even the formidable “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” vulnerable to being bitten to pieces!
“Baby Blue-Eye Dragon, dodge!”
From the red side platform, Dak Demon abruptly shouted.
Almost simultaneously, sensing his worry, the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” flapped its wings and shot up like a rocket!
Clang! Clang!
The two massive jaws of the “Triple Giant Brain Bug” closed within less than half a second, and the bug-type energy on their teeth shattered!
Clearly, even the “Triple Giant Brain Bug” couldn’t withstand the power of “Crush.”
At that moment, a long dragon roar echoed near the center of the field. A brand new “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” had already crossed half the field!
Noticing the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon’s” regained rationality, “Mewtwo” finally ceased its attack and swiftly swam towards the “Triple Giant Brain Bug”!
…
“Triple Giant Brain Bug” vs. Three Dragon Races!
…
Among these three dragon races, “Mewtwo” had the highest star rating, but its attack power was the lowest.
Even with 2900 points of attack, it might not break through the defenses of the “Triple Giant Brain Bug.”
However, in terms of threat level, “Mewtwo” was the most threatening!
Despite its surprising lack of showing its true threat in public duels.
Yet its uncontrollable charm made it seem capable of mesmerizing anyone.
Thus, Angus Jeffrey had been prepared in his heart.
“In the name of Angus Jeffrey, Mana Summoning — ‘Brain Fluid Demon’!”
Facing the encirclement of the three dragons, Angus Jeffrey summoned a Mana Spirit named “Brain Fluid Demon” at this critical moment!
[Card Name: Brain Fluid Demon]
[Type: Elemental Card]
[Level: ???]
[Race: Demon race]
[Attributes: Dark/Water]
[Mana: 2000]
[Attack: 0]
[Defense: 0]
[Ultimate Skills: Parasitize, Brain侵蚀
Various additional effects were subsequently activated.
The “Triple Giant Brain Bug” became excited, with its attributes slightly increasing under the feedback of the “Brain Fluid Demon.”
It began rapidly consuming the special substances within the “Triple Giant Brain Bug’s” brain.
A three-star “Brain Fluid Demon” could not naturally parasitize an eight-star Mana Spirit in normal circumstances.
But if this Mana Spirit was an allied unit, it was a different story.
Allowing a “Brain Fluid Demon” to parasitize an allied Mana Spirit indeed had considerable benefits.
…
At this moment, Dark Demon’s three dragon types finally launched their assault.
The “Magical Beast: Ditto” transformed into a Baby Blue-Eye Dragon and immediately released the “Light Hall.”
The light ball shot up into the sky and exploded, scattering white feathers amidst the radiance.
The new “Light Hall” covered the old one and dispersed all the pollution caused by the “Dark Water!”
Thus, darkness dissipated, and light enveloped the area, turning the field back into a stronghold for light-type Mana Spirits!
“Mewtwo,” although not fond of the “Pride” factor mixed in, was barely affected.
It raised its tail and struck fiercely with all its might against the “Triple Giant Brain Bug.”
One of the “Triple Giant Brain Bug’s” side heads met the attack head-on, biting fiercely at “Mewtwo’s” tail.
Though this bite lacked the “Rage” boost, it was still terrifying.
“Mewtwo’s” tail was successfully bitten!
Then, “Mewtwo” triggered!
…
Angus Jeffrey had already made his preparations in advance.
With the “Brain Fluid Demon” parasitizing the “Triple Giant Brain Bug’s” brain, it could control its body.
Even if the “Triple Giant Brain Bug” was charmed by “Mewtwo,” the “Brain Fluid Demon” would remain unaffected.
Therefore, under its control, the “Triple Giant Brain Bug” would also remain unaffected.
However, what happened now surpassed his understanding!
The head of the “Triple Giant Brain Bug” that bit “Mewtwo’s” tail was immediately influenced by “Mewtwo,” triggering the probability of being captivated by “Mewtwo’s” charm.
It opened its massive mouth, stood frozen in place, and even showed signs of fascination in its eyes!
More frighteningly, it seemed this effect could be transmitted head-to-head!
The other head, which had been fiercely battling the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon,” suddenly turned limp.
And its central main head also displayed a look of fascination.
The “Triple Giant Brain Bug” was like a lowly dog lapping at a goddess’s feet, losing all sense along with the “Brain Fluid Demon” inside it!
Angus Jeffrey immediately noticed this change, his expression turning pale.
…
Angus Jeffrey drew a card midway through the fifth round, and he still had five cards in his hand.
As the fifth round came to an end, he drew another card in shock, bringing his total to seven cards!
These seven cards were each extremely special Mana Spirit Cards.
But with so many types of Mana Spirit Cards, there were many considerations for strategy.
At the beginning of the sixth round, he hesitated momentarily, watching as the “Triple Giant Brain Bug” was relentlessly attacked by two Baby Blue-Eye Dragons!
The “Magical Beast: Ditto” pounced on the middle head of the “Triple Giant Brain Bug” after releasing the “Light Hall.”
The “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” had already torn the neck of the “Triple Giant Brain Bug.”
Seeing the “Triple Giant Brain Bug” unable to use its ultimate skill, it was just like the “Blood Wing Bug Demon” turned to stone, destined to die in frustration.
Angus Jeffrey finally reacted, drawing a card from his hand.
…
On the red side competitor platform,
Dark Demon did not have many cards, and he was short on new ones, so he immediately drew one.
[Deoxys]
[Spell Cage: Agumon]
The remaining three cards were:
[Bliss IV Moon]
[Piplup]
[Bliss III Moon]
The appearance of [Spell Cage: Agumon] finally provided a new direction for his current hand.
The “Bliss III Moon” could evolve [Spell Cage: Agumon] into “Black Growlmon.”
The “Bliss IV Moon” could further super-evolve [Spell Cage: Agumon] into “Zombie Divermon!”
Although “Zombie Divermon” was only a seven-star, it was far superior in terms of attack compared to “Mewtwo.”
Particularly, “Zero Cannon” and “Devouring Hunter” were both terrifying ultimate skills capable of destroying terrain!
Dark had previously refrained from using the “Bliss IV Moon” to evolve “Piplup” into “Bloom Piplup” due to this consideration.
Now that he had acquired the new piece of the puzzle, he finally had a means to deal with the subterranean threat!
Otherwise, he would have to rely on “Bloom Piplup’s” “Sing” to attack…
Of course, with [Spell Cage: Agumon], he no longer needed to resort to such tactics.
As for the other card, “Deoxys,” there were currently two “Trash Slimes” and one “Greed Slime I” left on the red side field. Together, these three slimes, totaling four stars, were suitable offerings for summoning “Deoxys.”
However, without the “Holy Sword,” “Deoxys” could hardly influence the field.
Thus, Dark decisively summoned [Spell Cage: Agumon] first…
“In the name of Dark Demon, Mana Summoning — [Spell Cage: Agumon]!”
When this summoning light appeared in the red side summoning zone, the field situation tilted in favor of the red side.
The “Triple Giant Brain Bug” still under the influence of “Mewtwo” had not regained consciousness. If not for the increase in its stats due to the parasitism of the “Brain Fluid Demon,” it would have long been unable to withstand the attacks of the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragons.”
Yet, even so, it still had two ultimate skills unused when one of its heads was bitten off by the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon”!
— This tremendous shock finally awakened the “Brain Fluid Demon” parasitizing the “Triple Giant Brain Bug’s” brain.
“Swallow! Swallow!”
Angus Jeffrey, who had just started summoning, roared upon sensing this situation, then shut his mouth and continued to chant urgently.
But his expression improved slightly.
Despite the unexpected events, his pre-planned strategy was still effective.
Without the “Brain Fluid Demon,” the “Triple Giant Brain Bug” would likely never wake up even if it were bitten to death.
Under the control of the “Brain Fluid Demon,” the middle head of the “Triple Giant Brain Bug” suddenly opened its mouth and unleashed its ultimate skill — “Swallow!”
The already large mouth grew even larger due to this skill, swallowing the severed head whole right before everyone’s eyes!
It was unimaginable that the “Triple Giant Brain Bug” would swallow its own head…
This scene was shocking and physically unsettling.
Even Dark was stunned for a moment, then activated the “Bliss IV Moon” immediately!
“Agumon, super-evolve!”
The BGM in his mind automatically played.
Dark seemed to have heard the roar of the “Zombie Divermon” beforehand.
During the super-evolution process of [Spell Cage: Agumon], the “Triple Giant Brain Bug” that had swallowed one of its own heads recovered a large amount of mana, causing its stats to rise again, making its already massive form even larger!
“Triple Bug Blast!”
Having completed this round of summoning, Angus Jeffrey issued his final command to this “Triple Giant Brain Bug.”
The ultimate skill that should have been released simultaneously by all three heads separately, the “Triple Bug Blast,” was instead released solely by the middle head.
This effect was certainly weakened.
But the “Triple Giant Brain Bug” could only do so much.
An eight-star Mana Spirit was like a trapped beast still fighting desperately.
This “Triple Bug Blast” was not aimed at the two “Baby Blue-Eye Dragons,” but rather used against “Mewtwo”!
In short, “Mewtwo.” Its 3100 points of defense could not withstand the power of the “Triple Bug Cannon,” and it was hit so badly that it was almost killed!
If not for the timely activation of the “Life Stream” to restore its precious mana, it would have died on the spot.
But even so, its condition was already very poor.
However, after this attack, the “Triple Giant Brain Bug” was completely torn apart by the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon!”
As for the “Magical Beast: Ditto” transforming into the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon,” it struggled to deal damage to the “Triple Giant Brain Bug” because it did not use the “Dragon’s Inverted Scale.”
The “Magical Beast: Ditto” lacked “Moon’s Protection,” and using the “Dragon’s Inverted Scale” had the highest probability of attacking its allies.
…
But the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” did not escape without a cost in killing the “Triple Giant Brain Bug.”
After being doubled in strength, the stats of the “Triple Giant Brain Bug” were too high; it bit off most of the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon’s” mana in one bite.
And as it fell completely, the “Brain Fluid Demon” inside its brain used the ultimate skill “Erode Brain” under Angus Jeffrey’s command!
— The “Brain Fluid Demon” devoured the “Triple Giant Brain Bug’s” brain and emerged from the shell!
…
In the blue side’s summoning area.
Along with the evolution of the “Zombie Tyrannomon,” Angus Jeffrey summoned another mana spirit again — the “Cave Larva!”
This “Cave Larva,” which was significantly smaller than the “Cave Worm,” was only three stars.
But its ultimate skill was no different from the “Cave Worm.”
Angus Jeffrey reused his old trick and immediately ordered it to use “Digging” to burrow underground.
The “Cave Larva” could also lay eggs, but it could produce at most four two-star insect eggs, with each egg hatching in fifteen seconds.
Angus Jeffrey had no third-tier mana spirit cards left in his hand.
Even if he wanted to quickly reverse the situation with high-star mana spirits, it was impossible.
He never imagined that the two eight-star mana spirits he summoned, which were so powerful, could not secure the victory!
But the current situation was not yet at its worst. As long as Dark Demon could not inflict damage on the mana spirits underground, he would remain undefeated.
What needed to be done next was to rely on the “Brain Fluid Demon” and his remaining cards to buy time, replenish sacrifices, and wait until he obtained key high-star mana spirit cards, then he could reclaim the victory!
Thinking of this, Angus Jeffrey regained his composure.
After experiencing so many events, his psychological resilience had indeed grown.
But then, a missile re-destroyed his calm!
…
“Ultimate Skill — ‘Zero Cruise Missile!'”
The terrifying “Zombie Tyrannomon” and Dark’s deck style were extremely inconsistent.
But it wasn’t the first time it was summoned.
Its skeletal appearance always evoked memories of the era when necromancers roamed.
Amidst the spectators’ shocked cries, the “Zombie Tyrannomon” crouched down, and the flesh remnants on its spine writhed violently, revealing an organic missile made of fresh red flesh.
With the appearance of the missile, a scarlet mist mixed with dark energy silently spread.
A terrifying destructive aura was brewing ferociously.
The familiar “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” and “Magical Beast: Ditto” did not hesitate to abandon their assault on the “Brain Fluid Demon” and soared high.
As for the critically injured “Mewtwo,” it was not within the range of the “Zero Cruise Missile.”
Dark Demon on the red side’s competitor platform seemed slightly cold.
He raised his right hand and pointed forward: “Launch!”
“Boom!”
A shark-headed missile made of flesh shot out from the spine of the “Zombie Tyrannomon.”
It traced a crooked arc in the air and finally landed precisely where the “Brain Fluid Demon” was located.
That “Brain Fluid Demon,” which had gained six-star power by devouring the “Triple Giant Brain Bug’s” brain, was instantly obliterated by the missile filled with destructive force!
The audience had not yet realized how powerful the “Brain Fluid Demon” had become when the intense heat and white light from the explosion filled their minds.
Even those who had seen it before were still stunned by the terrifying ultimate skill that did not seem like something a seven-star mana spirit could unleash.
Many people squinted hard, trying to see the entire explosion.
All they could see was the massive mushroom cloud covering the field!
The dueling arena shook violently as well!
“The life value, the blue side’s mana guidance ball’s life value has dropped!”
No one knew who suddenly exclaimed.
Everyone’s attention focused on the projected blue side’s mana guidance ball’s life value.
The mana value of the life barrier had plummeted from a complete 8000 points to below 6000!
On the blue side’s competitor platform, Angus Jeffrey’s face was as dark as water.
He clearly felt that the two mana spirits he hid underground had both been killed!
The “Cave Worm” was already in critical condition and being killed instantly was acceptable.
But the “Cave Larva” had just been summoned.
Although it was only three stars, it had relatively high stats among three-star mana spirits.
He never expected that the ground could not protect its life.
The “Cave Larva” had just produced an insect egg before meeting its end!
And that insect egg naturally could not escape the destruction from the explosion!
…
The only one that could survive this explosion was the “Blood Wing Bug Demon” in petrified state.
Although the “Bronze Snake Mirror” petrified it, it greatly increased its defense.
The “Insect Change” it performed before being fully petrified did not break the petrification, but it did increase its stats to some extent.
The petrification shell of the “Bronze Snake Mirror” had considerable damage reduction capabilities.
Originally, skills like “Petrify” were used to protect oneself.
The most famous monster known for petrifying itself to defend against attacks was the legendary Gargoyle!
But even so, the surface layer of the petrification shell showed numerous cracks.
The internal “Blood Wing Bug Demon” was severely wounded!
And the petrification effect of the “Bronze Snake Mirror” had finally reached its limit!
The “Blood Wing Bug Demon” was an eighth-star third-tier mana spirit.
Although the “Bronze Snake Mirror” was tough, it actually could not produce a complete effect on third-tier mana spirits.
Its standard target was actually second-tier and below mana spirits.
Against second-tier and below mana spirits, its petrification effect could last for a full five minutes.
But beyond that, the duration would be significantly reduced.
In fact, even without this explosion, the petrification effect was nearly over.
…
Therefore, as the shockwave of the explosion dissipated and the giant mushroom cloud gradually faded, allowing them to see the field more clearly.
The previously fallen Angus Jeffrey seemed to see the dawn of hope, discovering a glimmer of life in this desperate situation.
“Drip! Drip!”
“Battle Phase (7)” [30s]
“It’s not over yet!”
Angus’s lips curled into a twisted, sinister smile.
The dust from the explosion floated in the air, and visibility on the field was poor.
The silhouette of the “Blood Wing Bug Demon” was faintly visible.
Dark Demon might not have realized it yet.
This might be an opportunity!
Then he looked down at his newly acquired two mana spirit cards, and his eyes turned black, making his smile even more sinister.
“It’s finally here!”
“Wail, moan, weep!”
“In the name of Angus Jeffrey, Mana Summoning — ‘Skull of Despair!'”
A swirling black smoke emerged from the mana spirit card in his hand, forming the vague outline of a skull.
The “Skull of Despair” trailed behind and silently drifted towards the struggling “Blood Wing Bug Demon” emerging from the shattered petrified shell.
The other card in Angus Jeffrey’s hand released a deep black glow!
