The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　Anubis sped past the red team's magic ball, its raised claws leaving three scratch marks on the barrier of life!

　The Magic Ball's health points plummeted.

　【1000→108】

　……

　off the field.

　The atmosphere in the House of Nobles was extremely tense.

　A few people, including Doron, seemed even more nervous than Dak himself.

　Sara Swati actually managed to corner Dark with just two two-star magical spirits!

　……

　The Anubis dog landed gracefully, its amber eyes turning to the badly damaged magic orb behind it, before slowly turning around.

　Sara Swati once again drew two new magic cards from the top of the deck.

　But she didn't go to look; instead, she declared with great fanfare: "It's over, Dimon. Your life is like a candle flickering in the wind!"

　She just finished speaking.

　Having adjusted its breathing, Anubis launched its second attack on the red team's magic ball!

　"call out!"

　The magic ball suddenly split in two.

　The Anubis leaped high through the middle and landed abruptly.

　It suddenly turned around and barked, "Woof! Awooo!"

　"Futile resistance is pointless, Anubis!"

　Sarah, standing on the platform, clearly captured the changes happening on the field.

　A cute, fox-like sprite suddenly appeared. As the Anubis Hound pounced, it kicked the magic orb away with its hind legs, using the force to bounce off, creating the illusion of splitting in two.

　The red team's magic ball's health also plummeted to zero after this kick.

　【108→13】

　Upon landing, Ibrahimovic suddenly growled at Anubis.

　Sarah remembered that this petite magical sprite should be Dark's magical beast, a one-star sprite with both magic attack and defense of 100.

　A single magical beast is not enough to hinder a level 2 Anubis Hound. However, in a previous duel, Dark seems to have used some kind of magic card to enhance it.

　In the blink of an eye, a thought flashed through my mind.

　Sarah drew a Magical Spirit card from her new hand.

　Anubis, following orders, charged straight at Ibrahimovic this time!

　The red magic ball that flew out bounced upwards after hitting the buffer field at the edge of the field, gradually lost its kinetic energy, and hovered in the air!

　This was both bad news and good news for Sarah.

　The downside is that the Anubis can't leap that high, and the "Shadow Hunt" ability that allows it to pounce high is still on cooldown.

　On the positive side, the opponent's magical spirits cannot touch the magic ball.

　But the magical spirit she was about to summon was a Benu bird!

　That was a magical beast that was also its initial magical spirit.

　A greyish-white heron with a long beak and a double-feathered crest.

　Once she summons "Magical Beast: Benu Bird", the situation on the field no longer matters to her.

　The Life Barrier, with only 13 points of magic remaining, could not withstand any attack from the Benu Bird!

　……

　Card Name: Magical Beast (Benu Bird)

　[Type: Spirit Card]

　【grade:】

　[Race: Undead]

　[Attribute: Dark]

　【Magic Power: 100】

　[Attack: 100]

　[Defense: 100]

　Ultimate Skill: Soul Guidance

　……

　Dark's summoning speed was faster than ever before.

　He felt that in this intense battle rhythm, he seemed to have broken through some of the bottlenecks of the 4-second summoning!

　Two new magic cards.

　One of them is the initial magical Pokémon – "Eevee: Monster Hunter".

　The other one is "Pride II"!

　Although the life barrier of the magic ball has become so faint as to be invisible.

　But the allure of duels lies in their infinite possibilities.

　Not until the last minute.

　The outcome is still uncertain!

　……

　He was in a strange state.

　She was clearly nervous, yet remained remarkably calm.

　She was calm yet very excited.

　The brain is rapidly releasing dopamine.

　No duel before had ever given him such a feeling.

　The summoning of "Pride II" was completed in a very short time.

　Eevee responded to its master's expectations, bathed in dark golden light, and advanced from one star to two stars.

　Although its three dimensions are still lower than those of the Anubis, the difference is very limited.

　Facing the Anubis dog charging head-on, it dodges with more agile movements, then swipes its paw to counterattack in one swift motion.

　The difference in intelligence between the two sides was clearly demonstrated in their close-quarters combat.

　Ibrahimovic's reaction speed and fluidity of movement are higher than those of Anubis.

　The confidence and composure he displayed when dodging to the side exuded the air of a master.

　"Pot!"

　Dark's voice rang out clearly.

　Shushu, pinned down by "Shadow Step," stopped struggling, and its eyes shone with the light of superpowers.

　"feasible!"

　You won't know unless you try.

　The Sphynx Cat's "Shadow Tag" cannot prevent the release of such skills.

　"Beep——"

　A clear bird song suddenly rang out from the sky.

　The heron-like Benu bird was summoned.

　Dak felt a sudden chill run down his spine.

　But Eevee, who was locked in combat with Anubis, reacted even faster than him!

　He didn't need to give any orders.

　Eevee raised its head high, its proud eyes gleaming with a sharp, dark golden light!

　The aura emanating from such a high altitude caused the Benu bird in the air to turn its head involuntarily.

　The moment their eyes met.

　The arrogance overwhelmed the bird's spirit, and the great sense of defeat caused it to lose its desire to attack.

　The bird was filled with dejection.

　"Benu!"

　Sarah's shout had unconsciously taken on a hint of urgency.

　It's as if something started to feel off the moment a certain sentence was uttered.

　Suddenly, gasps of surprise came from outside the stadium.

　Sarah turned her head sharply, a hint of surprise on her face.

　However, Anubis seized the opportunity when Eevee raised its head to use "Round Eyes," pounced from the side, and bit Eevee's neck!

　However, the joy was just beginning.

　Sarah was astonished to find that Eevee, who had just been going toe-to-toe with Anubis, had suddenly become extremely "tall".

　It seems that the momentum boost from releasing "Round Pupil" still lingers—no, it's a genuine attribute crushing!

　Anubis bit down on Eevee's neck with its sharp teeth, but it was as if it were biting into a steel plate; it couldn't bite down no matter what it did!

　If Eevee's skin weren't actually not very tough, its teeth would probably have broken!

　Ibrahimovic let the Anubis dog bite his neck, his head turned to the side, his gaze lowered, and his eyes revealed a hint of condescending contempt.

　"Bah!"

　(A miscellaneous practice!)

　……

Chapter 168 Two-fifths of Darkdemon (4K)

　→【Fantasy Beast: Eevee (Pride II)】

　→【Defense: (300 + 2200) ÷ 2 = 1250】

　……

　"Defense is tied!"

　However, Shuttle used its superpower in the emergency – "Defense Shard" – adding its own 2200 defense points to Eevee's 300 defense points and then splitting the two equally, causing Eevee's defense value to instantly jump from 300 points to 1250 points!

　With Anubis's 900 attack points, it's impossible for it to break through Eevee's defense at this moment!

　"Wang Woo!"

　Anubis retreated immediately after its attack failed.

　It crouched low and growled.

　A wisp of black energy emanated from his eyes.

　……

　A faint white light emanated from Eevee's body.

　That's the manifestation of Pot Pot's superpowers!

　It was a mere few seconds of offense and defense.

　Dark didn't give any instructions; it was entirely up to Ibrahimovic and Shuttle to make their own decisions.
