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

　"Sai-ong, beam blast! Shatter its defenses!"

　Mike Irving raised his voice, choosing a direct attack!

　He clearly had great faith in his hero.

　【Hero of Light ● Saiweng】 responded to his trust, unleashing a surge of light energy that increased his movement speed.

　In an instant, it reached its peak, and its entire body seemed to truly transform into light.

　The audience outside the arena suddenly saw a blur before their eyes, only to see countless rays of light rushing towards the bodies of Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon and Espeon.

　The light shields surrounding the two magical spirits withstood the energy of the [Light Speed ​​Impact], their surfaces constantly rippled. However, the degree of indentation remained unchanged, effectively absorbing the powerful ultimate attack of this nine-star magical spirit!

　Oops.

　Mike Irwin immediately revealed a slightly disappointed expression.

　[Light Speed ​​Impact] is already [Hero of Light - Saion]'s strongest special move; the remaining one (Holy Beam)...

　It has similar power, only the attack pattern and side effects are different.

　Simply put, one is physical, and the other is magical.

　Now that [Light Speed ​​Impact] is completely ineffective, we can confirm that [Wide Area Defense] has the maximum physical defense.

　He could test his spell defense again with [Holy Beam], but what about after that?

　Without a special attack, a magical spirit, even at nine stars, is just a blank slate with empty data.

　"what to do"

　A sense of embarrassment arose within Mike Irwin.

　Among the three cards in his hand, there was a magical spirit card called "Soul of the Ghost City," and another...

　A magic card named "Hero - Strike".

　The former is a six-star magical spirit that can be specially summoned within the [Dark City].

　The latter is a special magic card that can completely convert the defense and magic power of the human race into attack, delivering a full-force blow.

　Although the Soul of the Ghost City can be summoned via special, its strength is actually quite low, and summoning it in this situation is not very meaningful.

　[Heroic Strike] is extremely powerful, but once used, the magical spirit will die instantly, and...

　It will trigger any special post-death effects such as "resurrection".

　Then, even if the [Soul of the Ghost City] is summoned and it uses [Heroic Strike], the strongest power it can achieve...

　It was nothing more than a normal attack from [Hero of Light - Saiweng].

　Unless used on [Hero of Light - Saiwen]!

　If you can hit the blue team's magic ball, you can end the game with [Heroic Strike]!

　However, the problem is that the blue team's magic ball is hidden in the Nightmare Space.

　At the speed of [Hero of Light - Seion], once he enters the [Nightmare Space], he'll be slower than a tortoise.

　Now!

　Destroying the blue team's magic ball is extremely difficult.

　Therefore, the first target of [Hero of Light - Saiwen] is [Dream Demon].

　Of course, if it really comes to that, he'll have [Soul of the Ghost City] finish off the enemy.

　But while the idea was good, reality was cruel.

　In the blink of an eye, the magic power of [Hero of Light - Saiweng] had already dropped considerably.

　If the fight continues, it might very well become the first nine-star mage to be single-handedly defeated by a six-star mage spirit.

　Elf.

　And its owner will become the backdrop for someone's rise to power.

　Mike Irving doesn't mind playing a supporting role, but he still wants to win!

　"Tick!"

　The rounds switch in the blink of an eye.

　His eyes narrowed, and he suddenly reached for the card slot.

　Then I acquired two new magic cards.

　The first card he saw was one with the same name: [Storm Judgment]!

　"Locate the blue team's magic ball! Focus your attack!"

　The thought flashed through his mind, and Mike Owen immediately channeled magical power into [Storm Judgment].

　Meanwhile, Dark Demon, who had been gambling everything, unexpectedly drew a crucial card.

　[Single Sword Sheath]

　【Soul of the Moon God 1】

　The [Soul of the Moon Goddess] can enable the [Dream Demon] to evolve into the [Moon Goddess].

　Although [Moon Goddess] is only a six-star magical spirit, both her rank and stats place her in the third tier.

　The upper reaches of the ladder are far beyond what ordinary six stars can compare to.

　If paired with the [Single Sword Sheath], which can greatly increase its attack by [Star Rating x300], it would be even more powerful.

　Killing a mere nine-star magical spirit is a piece of cake!

　However, if [Dream Demon] evolves into [Moon Goddess], he will lose control of [Nightmare Space].

　However, of the three magical spirits in the field, only [Dream Demon] belongs to [Elysium].

　Furthermore, although the current situation is favorable, the duration of [Wide Area Defense] still has a little bit left, which seems enough to...

　[Hero of Light - Cyon] was torn apart, but Mike Owen was no pushover. If he ordered [Hero of Light - Cyon] to retreat and maneuver, [Blue-Eyes Young Dragon] would have a hard time catching up.

　So he hesitated for only half a second before decisively summoning: "In the name of Dark Demon, I summon [Soul of the Moon Goddess]!"

　Dark suddenly frowned, and then he saw thick dark clouds gathering again in the sky above the field, and a strong wind suddenly arose.

　He still completed the final summoning, and the phantom of the [Soul of the Moon Goddess] emerged from behind the [Dream Demon].

　"Yao Mi!"

　The latter responded immediately, emerging from the Nightmare Space!

　[Dream Demon] → Armed Evolution → [Moon Goddess]!

　Dozens of storm spears coalesced in the air.

　As expected, [Hero of Light ● Saiweng] chose to scatter under Mike Owen's orders.

　The still enraged Blue-Eyes Young Dragon gave chase.

　Dark sensed an alarm and immediately ordered, "Eevee, protect our Magic Ball!"

　[Eevee: The Beast] suddenly turned its head, and the Storm Spear in the sky had already fallen, but it did not immediately...

　The position of the blue team's magic ball is locked in.

　Without the illusionary cover of [Mission Jabba], the Magic Ball will be disfigured once it moves.

　Dark remained focused and ready to act, then immediately issued the second command: "Luna! Locate and destroy the Red Magic Ball!"

　Mike Irving's attack on the magic ball served as a reminder to him.

　The red team's magic orb remains hidden within the buildings of the Dark City.

　If it cannot be found, the duel cannot end.

　Now that [Hero of Light - Saiweng] has retreated, he will use this time difference to search for the red team's magic orb.

　Dark quickly estimated that the cooldown of [Wide Area Defense] was about to end.

　Therefore, he immediately prepared to summon the [Single Sword Sheath].

　Faced with the attack of [Luna], Mike Owen had no choice but to choose to Special Summon [Ghost of the City].

　Like ghostly light, it gathered from all around the Dark City, coalescing into a luminous spirit at the city's center.

　The Soul of the Ghost City roared as it charged towards the Moon Goddess. But in just one exchange, this six-star magical spirit...

　He was then shot down by the Moon Goddess!

　And at the same time.

　The barrage of bullets finally struck the blue team's magic ball!

　With a "crack" sound, the life barrier of the blue magic ball was pierced, and its magic power plummeted!

　With a heavy heart, Mike Irving abandoned protecting his own magic ball and focused all his energy on controlling (Storm Judgment).

　The Storm Spears, still floating in the air, were all redirected under Mike Irwin's precise control, and simultaneously...

　It was shot at the blue team's magic ball.

　Dark immediately reached out and released magic to control the Magic Ball, causing it to dodge the spear and fly towards [Eevee].

　The spears shot out, landed, and dissipated.

　The blue magic ball spun in the air and suddenly shot out of the Nightmare Space.

　When the Storm Lance struck again, it was met with the sudden leap of [Eevee!]!

　【Eevee】Uses Psychic to control the Magic Ball to continue dodging, and uses 【Wide Guard】 to withstand the storm.

　The piercing of the spear.

　Suddenly, the [Wide Area Defense] on its body flickered and then went out.

　Mike Owen's eyes flashed, and he fired two spears in quick succession, one aimed at (Eevee).

　A single arrow, predicting the opponent's movement, struck suddenly!

　However, [Eevee: Magical Beast] has a defense of 2500 points, and even when directly confronted with its bare body, it only lost a few points.

　Five hundred points of magic power.

　It suddenly raised its head, fearless and unyielding.

　Almost simultaneously, the remaining spears floating in the air suddenly exploded, a result of Mike Irwin's exceptional control.

　It has reached its limit.

　Mike Irving was greatly disappointed.

　But he quickly gave the magical spirit another command.

　"Sai-ong, a divine beam of light!"

　With the Storm Lance as a prelude, this [Holy Beam], if it hits, will directly destroy the blue team's magic orb.

　Life Barrier reset to zero!

　"With the name Dark Demon, he can summon a [Single Sword Sheath]!"

　Dark summoned the [Single Sword Sheath (Weapon Form)] in mid-air, then waved his hand—pointing—and the [Single Sword Sheath] appeared.

　It flew rapidly towards the Moon Goddess.

　[Moon Goddess] Steps into the void, and ripples spread with each step.

　It rapidly ascended, seized the oncoming sword sheath, and then slashed fiercely at the tall building in front of it.

　"Bang one_"

　The sword light burst forth, cleaving the "tall building," which was actually only four or five meters wide, in half.

　On the red team's stage, Mike Irving's expression changed drastically. He immediately reached out and released magic to manipulate the magic ball.

　"Shoo-One"

　With a soft hum, the red magic ball, which had been suddenly discovered, flew upwards, narrowly escaping the attack of [Moon Goddess].

　"Bomb One"

　【Hero of Light ● Saiweng】 fired out the 【Holy Beam】.
