Chapter 700 “Request for Subscription” Dark Demon and the Demon King (4k)

Angus Jeffrey summoned the “Demon King”!

Although over ten years had passed since the end of the war, anyone who experienced that era could never forget the fear and pain brought by the Demon King.

Moreover, just a few months ago, the Church of the Saints used the Demon King’s corpse to make a grand statement!

The only thing that slightly alleviated the viewers’ expressions was that this Demon King was not the same one as before!

After people calmed down from their shock, they realized that what was known as “Demon King Arminster” was actually just a Mana Spirit. It wasn’t a true Demon King.

However, unlike ordinary Mana Spirits, this Demon King had a name!

…

“Demon King Arminster…”

A member of the Church hiding in the spectator area suddenly recalled the name “Arminster.” Their already grim expression became even more somber.

If there was any institution that deeply understood past Demon Kings, it would undoubtedly be the Church of the Saints.

In the Secret Rite Academy of the Saints, some students could recite the names of all the Demon Kings backward like a family name list.

Among these names, “Arminster” stood out as particularly special.

Sovereign of Decay Arminster!

Before the previous Demon King was born, it was called the “darkest” and “most corrupt” Demon King.

Even within the Secret Rite Academy, there were rumors that meeting its gaze would immediately plunge one into darkness!

Though the truth couldn’t be verified, the terror of “Demon King Arminster” was evident.

…

In the arena.

As soon as “Demon King Arminster” materialized, “Zombie Tyrannosaurus” pounced.

With “d*ath Claw,” Zombie Tyrannosaurus had an attack power of 4800, making it nearly impossible for even a Nine-star Mana Spirit to defend against.

Regardless of how powerful and terrifying “Demon King Arminster” was in life, it was now bound by its star rating as a Mana Spirit.

But just as “d*ath Claw” almost touched its forehead, “Demon King Arminster” suddenly raised its hand toward “Zombie Tyrannosaurus.”

“Ultimate Skill—Dark Prison!”

Angus Jeffrey’s shout was filled with a frenzied madness.

Dark aura burst forth from “Demon King Arminster’s” palm, quickly crawling up Zombie Tyrannosaurus’s claws before exploding outward, wrapping around the massive creature!

“Demon King Arminster” swiftly retracted its hand, tightening the dark force!

Zombie Tyrannosaurus’s claws were tightly bound, unable to struggle!

“Roar!”

It roared furiously, opening its huge mouth wide to release “Curse Breath!”

But as the breath was expelled, the dark aura sealed its mouth shut.

Both “Curse Breath” and “d*ath Claw” were consumed by the dark power upon touching “Demon King Arminster,” failing to cause significant damage.

“Demon King Arminster” smirked, its lean face not as menacing as human.

Standing at about 1.95 meters tall, it looked almost normal except for its long ears and grayish-white skin.

It had no demonic wings or horns, but no one doubted its demonic identity.

[Card Name: Demon King Arminster]

[Type: Mana Spirit Card]

[Level: ????]

[Race: Demon race]

[Attribute: Dark Attribute]

[Mana: 4500]

[Attack: 4800]

[Defense: 4200]

[Ultimate Skills: Demon King, Dark Prison, Abyssal Sea, Cataclysmic Calamity.]

While “Demon King Arminster” had delicate features, its eyes were too narrow, nose high and sharp, and chin slightly elongated.

If it weren’t for its Demon King status, it would look like a melancholic middle-aged man.

As a Nine-star Mana Spirit, “Demon King Arminster” had maxed-out mana, surpassing the peak of a Nine-star in attack and defense, which was just under 300 points away from the pinnacle.

Its stats placed it among the elite in Nine-star Mana Spirits.

Its ultimate skills included four powerful abilities!

This “Demon King Arminster” was undoubtedly a named gold card!

Among its ultimate skills was a god-level passive called “Demon King.”

Like the “Holy Sword” of “Solo Sword Sheath” or the “Divine Rank Armed” of “Moon Goddess,” it granted “Demon King Arminster” higher stats and rank.

Its base attributes were at least 1000 points higher!

Though it was only a Nine-star Mana Spirit, “Demon King Arminster” had strength comparable to a Fourth-Tier.

Otherwise, Angus Jeffrey wouldn’t have summoned it so recklessly.

After launching two missiles, “Zombie Tyrannosaurus” was no match for “Demon King Arminster.”

Trapped in “Dark Prison,” its mana rapidly drained, while “Demon King Arminster” replenished its own mana after using its ultimate skill.

…

Dark Demon witnessed this and instantly grasped the strength of “Demon King Arminster.”

At this moment, his only remaining viable Mana Spirit on the field was the newly evolved “Moon Goddess.”

But “Moon Goddess” was only a Six-star Mana Spirit. Even with the ultimate skill “Divine Rank Armed,” it couldn’t match the overpowered “Demon King Arminster.”

Even when balanced, the gap remained vast.

“Moon Goddess” was no match!

…

On the Blue Side platform, after successfully summoning “Demon King Arminster,” Angus Jeffrey felt assured of his victory.

His lips stretched to their limit, finally revealing a mad laugh after “Zombie Tyrannosaurus” was trapped: “Where is your hero?”

Dark Demon’s Mana Spirit possessed the “Hero” trait and could use the “Holy Sword,” which was no secret to many.

But Angus Jeffrey didn’t realize that by saying this, he had firmly placed himself in the role of the antagonist.

In the ring, “Hero’s Child” Wit Gold, hearing this, felt a mix of emotions.

Dark Demon’s eyes flickered as he glanced at the seventh round’s countdown timer, now close to zero. He whispered, “My hero is in my hand.”

This wasn’t false; “Deoxys” was indeed in his hand.

Across from him, Angus Jeffrey sneered, “Without the ‘Holy Sword,’ the hero is nothing more than a tiger without teeth. If you concede now, I’ll let you leave with dignity.”

His mood fluctuated wildly, alternating between madness and cold sarcasm, exuding a strange aura.

After replying, Dark Demon silently cast a usual summoning spell, bringing out [Magical Beast: Ibut]…

A mere Three-star [Magical Beast: Ibut] couldn’t affect the current situation.

With the “Primordial Dragon Egg” already on the field, the Mana Spirit cards Dark Demon could pull using “Relay” were limited.

Yet [Magical Beast: Ibut] responded to his command, using “Relay” as soon as it appeared!

It didn’t even have time to use “Prayer,” turning into white light and returning to his hand. Then, a second [Magical Beast: Ibut] emerged from the vortex.

Next, a third!

After the third [Magical Beast: Ibut] was pulled, Dark Demon immediately used “Relay” to summon the Three-star Mana Spirit [Magical Beast: Ditto].

He hadn’t added other “Magical Beasts” to his deck. After this maneuver, the remaining Mana Spirit cards in his deck were few.

—Reducing the number of Mana Spirit cards in his deck increased the chances of drawing the needed ones.

Though “Demon King Arminster” was only a Nine-star, it was unprecedentedly powerful.

However, Dark Demon’s deck contained countermeasures.

The most typical example was the “Mana Nightmare Demon!”

“Mana Nightmare Demon” had a godly ability—”Same Life”—capable of mutual destruction!

But judging by its aura, “Demon King Arminster” likely had a passive ultimate skill that boosted its rank.

If it was above “Mana Nightmare Demon” by two tiers, whether “Same Life” could fully activate was uncertain.

Thus, in this situation, he chose another approach.

When the second [Magical Beast: Ditto] was pulled onto the field via “Relay,” Dark Demon quickly summoned another [Magical Beast: Ibut] from his hand.

Then [Magical Beast: Ditto] transformed into [Magical Beast: Ibut]—using “Relay” again!

In an instant, a third [Magical Beast: Ditto] was pulled onto the field.

This [Magical Beast: Ditto] then transformed into [Magical Beast: Ibut]—using “Relay” once more!

Finally, a green-spirited Mana Spirit—[Mana Spirit: Slime]—was summoned!

…

Two [Magical Beasts: Ibut], two [Magical Beasts: Ditto], and one [Mana Spirit: Slime].

In the last ten seconds of the seventh round, Dark Demon reduced his remaining 23 Mana Spirit cards to 18.

In the next eighth round, he would draw two cards from the remaining 18 Mana Spirit cards!

…

[Battle Phase (8) [30s]]

As the round switched with a “tick-tock,” both sides… no, only Dark Demon drew a card!

Angus Jeffrey remained motionless on the Blue Side platform.

On one hand, he knew he had summoned the strongest Mana Spirit in his deck.

On the other hand, his current state was overly manic.

“Futile struggle!”

Seeing Dark Demon continuously summon and swap Mana Spirits in the seventh round, he felt Dark Demon was panicking, and a sense of superiority arose.

His hidden arrogance resurfaced due to the relentless strikes.

He only commanded “Demon King Arminster” to continue attacking.

At the end of this round, one of Dark Demon’s trump cards—a Seven-star Mana Spirit “Zombie Tyrannosaurus”—was completely eliminated by “Demon King Arminster”!

As “Zombie Tyrannosaurus” retreated, the dark aura emanating from “Demon King Arminster” grew even more terrifying.

Angus Jeffrey didn’t draw another card but wasted no time.

After “Demon King Arminster” finished eliminating “Zombie Tyrannosaurus,” he immediately ordered it to use its next ultimate skill.

“Let darkness descend! Let the world fall into decay! Arminster, use ‘Abyssal Sea’!”

…

The decaying Demon King turned to glance at him before continuing to look at the ants before it.

Suddenly, it raised its right hand, palm facing upward, and dark power erupted from its palm, spreading out in concentric waves like whirlpools and ocean tides.

Over time, the waves thickened, surging like tidal waves, layer upon layer, engulfing the entire field.

The entire arena was shrouded in the terrifying “Abyssal Sea.”

Dark waves spread throughout the air.

Except for the two “Baby Blue-Eye Dragons” flying high, all Mana Spirits on the ground were within the range of “Abyssal Sea.”

The three prepared Slimes were the first to be annihilated by the waves.

Next, the [Magical Beast: Ibut] summoned as a transformation target…

Then, the final [Magical Beast: Ditto] summoned as “Mana Nightmare Demon.”

“In the name of Dark Demon, Mana Summoning—Bliss III Moon!”

Immediately after the cooldown for a regular summon ended, Dark Demon decisively activated “Bliss III Moon” from his hand after confirming the drawn Mana Spirit cards couldn’t turn the tide.

Pink light broke through the dark waves, illuminating “Mana Nightmare Demon.”

The Five-star Mana Spirit—[Mana Spirit: Mana Nightmare Demon]—evolved rapidly under the power of “Bliss.”

In that instant, it was struck to near d*ath by the waves of “Abyssal Sea”!

—”Same Life” triggered!

“Demon King Arminster” emitted a piercing scream.

Angus Jeffrey, immersed in the terror of “Abyssal Sea,” froze momentarily.

Then, he noticed “Demon King Arminster’s” mana value plummeting instantly!

Though the mana began to recover in the dark waves, Angus still couldn’t help but show a terrified expression.

The next second, beams of pure “Moonlight” descended from the sky!
