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

　Charizard's sword-wielding hand, guided by the scabbard, traced an arc, dodging the attack.

　This marks a direct confrontation with [Death's Sorrow].

　"Pfft!"

　The sword struck.

　The head of the Jade Pot Immortal was instantly shredded into pieces by the sword wind.

　The moment the voices of the audience outside the venue rose high.

　A melodious and dreamy fairy tune filled the venue.

　The head of the Jade Pot Immortal, which should have dissipated into demonic power, suddenly reassembled.

　Its form shattered the restraints of the [Yin Yang Technique? Soul Binding], and the [Demon Sword] slashed upwards slightly, its momentum undiminished, towards the [Fire-Breathing Dragon]'s body.

　"Two consecutive kills!"

　Dark Dimon's furious shout suddenly rang out.

　The [Charizard Dragon] paused, then spun; the sword strike that should have continued forward was pulled back by the [Single-edged Sword Sheath].

　The situation was forcibly reversed.

　Just as its body nearly dodged the [Death's Sorrow] slash, the [Single Sword Sheath] swept towards [Jade Pot Immortal]'s back from behind.

　"In the name of Eluri Clarissa, I magically summon a [Substitute Imp]!"

　A pink magical sprite exploded the moment it was summoned.

　A thin pink film appeared on the body of [Jade Pot Immortal].

　Charizard's slash tore through the membrane, exhausting its last bit of strength.

　After a slight adjustment, Jade Immortal's demonic sword cleaved open the body of a Priest Beast!

　The [Priest Beast], which followed closely behind, appeared at the critical moment alongside the [Charizard] and [Jade Pot Fairy].

　Between them, he endured the terrifying damage of that sword strike that broke ten thousand with his own mangled body.

　"Primal power!"

　Darko Dimon's voice was like boiling water.

　[Charizard] stomped its foot on the ground in that instant, and the earth trembled.

　Amidst the near-explosive ground tremor, an energy halo appeared behind him, releasing a burst of energy from his body.

　A powerful force.

　One [Primal Power] has been activated!

　Charizard's already enormous body expanded further.

　The small, single-edged sword sheath seemed increasingly out of place with its dragon claws.

　But it still gripped the holy sword tightly, maximizing its attack power to the absolute limit amidst the fusion of energy.

　limit.

　This sword strike, imbued with immense primal power, encountered no further resistance.

　The figure of [Jade Pot Immortal] vanished as if smoothed out by time, just before the demonic sword was about to tear apart [Fire-Breathing Dragon's] skin.

　It disappeared completely.

　There was no trace left behind.

　The charging Great Witch Bird slammed into the Charizard's thigh, then bounced back, alive...

　He fell to the ground and instantly turned into light!

　The sixth round had already ended during the exchanges between the two sides.

　Her formidable combat skills meant that even while observing the battle on the field, Eluri Clarissa didn't forget to draw cards.

　The Great Witch Bird was sacrificed as an offering.

　At the same time, one of the remaining two rabbits from the "Rabbit Magic Toy" also turned to light.

　The red team's magic ball fell from the shattered Jade Pot.

　Eluri Clarissa summoned with one hand and manipulated with the other, urgently tearing the magic orb apart.

　But Darko Dimon would never give her that chance!

　In that instant, Eluri Clarissa suddenly sensed a powerful force grasping the magic orb, causing...

　She pulled the magic ball away at an extremely slow speed.

　At this point, the magic ball is almost at the center line of the field, minimizing the impact of distance.

　Eluri didn't leave any more of her own mark on the magic ball first.

　Dark released his magic and firmly grasped it.

　Then, by adjusting its direction and counteracting Eluri's magic, it successfully stopped the magic ball in place!

　The third-tier magical spirit that emerged from the sacrificial summoning circle could no longer change the situation.

　At that moment, Eluri realized with utter astonishment an incredible fact.

　Dark Demon's magic was even more powerful than hers!

　As a result, she could no longer pull the magic ball away.

　Charizard raises its foot and slams it down!

　"boom!"

　The life barrier protecting the magic orb cracked with a sound.

　"Bang!'

　Red's Magic Ball, Magic Power Reset to Zero!

　[Battle Over]

　"boom!"

　"Blue team player, please stop stomping on the magic ball!"

　"boom!"

　"Beep 1"

　Dark quickly lifted the magic card and put [Charizard Dragon] back into the card.

　The colorful sky continued to swirl high above.

　The magical spirit summoned by Elulique Larissa through sacrifice floats in the air.

　However, a misjudgment at a crucial moment prevented him from continuing the battle.

　Although luck and other factors may play a role, a defeat is a defeat.

　However, she wasn't without a chance to get her revenge!

　"The battle is over!"

　"Winners, first and second year, Noble Academy, Dark Dimon!"

　Outside the stadium, the atmosphere was electric.

　High school seniors, remember to bring your admission ticket, ID card, 2B pencils, eraser, ruler, set square, and measuring tape.

　Protractor, compass, 0.5mm ballpoint pen, writing pad, bottled water. If I'm the first one to leave the exam room and get interviewed, please say—

Chapter 836 [Vote Request] Darkdemon, I apologize for the poor hospitality (4k)

　Chapter 836 [Vote Request] Darkdemon, I apologize for the poor hospitality (4k)

　Amidst the sudden eruption of cheers.

　Dark Dimon didn't show it on the surface, but inwardly he breathed a huge sigh of relief.

　The significance of this duel surpasses that of any previous duel.

　Even to spectators, his victory was exceptionally hard-won.

　Now that I've relaxed, the tension that had been building up for those few minutes is suddenly released, and I feel an instant sense of liberation.

　It was smooth and easy to pass through.

　Then, as I slowly looked back, a very special feeling arose in my mind.

　Dark concentrated slightly, and suddenly had a special insight into magical duels.

　He suddenly looked up, gazing at the receding torrent of light in the sky, and that insight flowed into his heart as the [Imaginary Heavenly Principle] faded away.

　It was as if suddenly, something became clear.

　Fate is not predetermined, but there are true gods in this world who control the power of fate!

　Therefore, in a sense, the ethereal and intangible phenomenon of "luck" is not entirely uncontrollable.

　If that time really comes, [Strong Luck] will probably become an indispensable element for duelists.

　Thinking of this, Dark's pupils contracted slightly, and he vaguely perceived some scenes of the future.

　But he quickly shook his head and said, "By then, it's uncertain whether I'll still be on the athlete's platform. So-called 'good luck' is not something that can be controlled by human beings."

　At this point, Dark was unaware of this.

　That future might come sooner than he imagined—

　The cheers of the audience are the banner of the victors and the bitter wine of the losers.

　After tasting this bitter cup of wine, Elouri Clarissa felt suffocated.

　Even though she acknowledged this failure, she certainly couldn't accept it so easily.

　She needs time to calm down.

　Typically, after a duel is defeated, duelists can say things like "Let's fight again next time" or "I will win back" to relieve the pressure.

　If it were her, she could also say, "See you in the main competition!"

　But after taking a deep breath, she recalled the magical spirit, then tidied up her magic cards, her steps heavy.

　They walked the runway.

　She belongs to the one who initiated this duel.

　On one hand, it was based on the same idea as Edwin Clarissa, wanting to test the waters of Dark Dimon.

　On the other hand, they also had the idea of ​​taking away the preliminary selection points from him.

　As for the pre-match bets, they were just a trendy suggestion.

　The kingdom's situation is currently volatile and unpredictable. As relatives inextricably linked to the royal family, both she and Edwin...

　They've reached a point where they can no longer remain uninvolved.

　If possible, she also hoped to get closer to Dark Dimon, the son of the Valkyrie.

　This will allow them to gain more political capital.

　Therefore, the pre-match bet was advantageous to her regardless of whether she won or lost.

　She thought she had made a good move.

　Of course, she would prefer to make this move as the victor.

　"Calm down, calm down, smile."

　As she walked off the contestant's platform, Elurly Clarissa repeatedly reassured herself.

　But once offstage, her smile remained stiff.

　She is not a person suited to playing chess.

　If it were Edwin in this situation, he would definitely have done a perfect job.

　With that thought in mind, Eluri simply stood there with a cold face and waited.
