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

　One Magic Card: Extreme Ice Beam!

　Matthew Bilbo finally couldn't resist summoning the [Extreme Ice Beam]!

　Although fire-type magical spirits have a certain degree of immunity to ice-type spells, this [Extreme Ice Beam]...

　It still managed to instantly kill the Torchic, which was in a bad state.

　However, at the same time, the [Flame Dragon - Explosive Dragon] in Dark's hand lit up.

　[Fire Dragon Ritual] triggered!

　【Fire Dragon Ritual】is a special attack similar to a ritual card.

　The condition for triggering this is the sacrifice of any Dragon or Fire-type Magical Spirit on the field.

　Mages can either offer dragon/fire-type magical spirits as sacrifices, or await their death.

　Matthew Bilbohm probably never imagined that his actions in a fit of anger would actually satisfy Darko.

　The conditions for summoning the [Fire Dragon Ritual] have been met.

　Although this is not a necessary procedure for summoning [Flame Dragon Blast Dragon], summoning it in this way can make the opponent...

　It produces an extremely strong sense of frustration.

　Dark's lips curled up as he deliberately held the [Flame Dragon - Explosive Dragon] magic card high, then growled:

　Come forth, Flame Dragon ● Blast Dragon!

　A torrent of demonic flames instantly rose up, and the Magic Card 【Flame Dragon: Explosive Dragon】 was enveloped in flames as if it were burning.

　The faint sound of a dragon's roar could be heard from the void.

　Matthew Bilbohm's expression changed instantly.

　The duel has only just begun, but his greatest strength lies in establishing an advantage at the outset.

　The relentless bursts and aggressive attacks that begin from the very first round can leave most opponents utterly helpless.

　In addition, he actively participated in the points race from the beginning, which accumulated points that led to his current ranking.

　Therefore, his matches are often decided in the first few rounds, and his supporters love this fast-paced style of play.

　However, once the opponent survives his initial onslaught, his so-called burst of power will be somewhat lacking.

　Especially if the opponent launches a counterattack, disrupting his most effective "snowball" momentum, he may very well lose...

　The follow-up

　Matthew Bilbohm did possess high-level magical spirits of the third tier, but he could summon high-level magical spirits.

　However, the available methods are rather limited.

　Moreover, at this moment, he did not have any third-tier magical spirits in his hand.

　Furthermore, due to the lack of magic cards other than burst damage, it is difficult for him to reverse a disadvantage once he falls behind.

　His duels were often won quickly, but he also lost quickly.

　But this time

　it's not finished yet!

　Only a few seconds remain in the second round.

　Matthew's expression was grim, but he immediately ordered the Thundercloud Giant to retreat and defend.

　Then he drew one of the two remaining magic cards in his hand, ready to unleash his power.

　The summoned [Flame Dragon? Explosive Dragon] charged forward, wielding demonic flames and dragon might.

　"Fire Dragon's Blazing Flash!"

　Dak pointed.

　The ferocious dragon, whose entire body seemed to be flowing with golden magma, breathed scorching dragon breath at the Thundercloud Giant as it approached.

　The Thundercloud Giant had nowhere to hide and was burned to ashes almost instantly.

　At this point, there were no more magical spirits in Matthew Bilbohm's arena.

　Although Dark was puzzled as to why Matthew hadn't reacted, he still issued the order to [Flame Dragon - Blast Dragon] afterward.

　The subsequent orders were given to pursue the blue team's magic ball.

　"Tick."

　The second round finally ended.

　Matthew Bilbohm never activated the magic card that was already in an active state.

　While manipulating the magic orb to evade pursuit, he simultaneously drew new magic cards from the top of his deck with lightning speed.

　He glanced at it, then suddenly activated the magic card he had been holding!

　"Roar!"

　The roar of 【Flame Dragon ● Explosive Dragon】 drowned out all other sounds.

　The dragon's breath scorched the life barrier of the blue team's magic orb.

　But Matthew Bilbohm's gaze had already shifted from the blue magic ball, and his previously unusually pale face...

　Suddenly, everything changed, and a sharp light shone in his eyes.

　On the ground?

　Beneath [Umbreon].

　Directly below the red team's magic ball.

　Extremely high heat suddenly condensed underground.

　Ripples of flame seeped out and spread rapidly.

　"Boom!"

　The ground cracked open, and lava spewed out.

　Matthew Bilbohm, at the turn between the second and third rounds, when Dark Dimon thought he had no more [Spell Cards] in his hand, [Flame Dragon - Explosive Dragon]'s dragon breath struck the blue player's Spellball.

　At that moment, when Dark Dimon was distracted by checking his hand, and when everyone thought he was in dire straits, the truth finally came out.

　He removed the fake mask covering his face, revealing his ferocious fangs!

　One magic card: [Magma Eruption]!

　Above the field.

　Within the projection.

　The number representing the red team's health points dropped rapidly as a result.

　The audience outside the venue almost instantly perked up, holding their breath as they stared at the line of numbers.

　The index, which was already below 3000 points, plummeted on the spot.

　"Ha ha ha ha!.

　Matthew Bilbohm couldn't help but burst into laughter.

　He raised his gaze slightly and looked at Dark Dimon on the opposite platform.

　[Magma Eruption] is a targeted explosion, with a delay of nearly half a second compared to the almost instantaneous [Lightning Spell].

　Delay.

　That half-second is negligible for the average person.

　But for a mage who is racing against time, this is extremely sensitive.

　Therefore, he had to create an opportunity that would prevent Dark from reacting to it.

　Clearly, he did it!

　The opposing player is strong, but he is still too young.

　A mere second grader could never possibly defeat a sixth-grader like him.

　The red team's health points dropped from 3000 to around 1500 before coming to an abrupt end!

　Both inside and outside the venue, there were sounds of surprise and doubt.

　[Flame Dragon? Blast Dragon] continued its pursuit of the blue team's magic ball, unaffected by anything.

　After the first [Fire Dragon's Blaze] hit, the second [Fire Dragon's Blaze] also hit.

　The blue team's health points above the field plummeted from 8000 to 2600.

　Then, finally closing in on the Magic Orb, [Flame Dragon? Blast Dragon] opened its massive maw and bit into it, crushing it...

　Blue Team's Magic Ball's Life Barrier!

　At this moment, the [magma eruption] on the ground was still gushing out.

　However, the lava that erupted from the ground actually splashed outwards at a height of less than half a meter.

　What continued to rise were only the flames and steam that accompanied the eruption of magma.

　The flames and steam scorched the red magic orb, reducing its magic power by nearly 1500 points.

　However, there was no possibility of burning and shattering the life barrier.

　[Umbreon] stood unharmed on the magma vent. Only its abdomen was scalded red; its magical energy didn't even drop but instead increased.

　A veil of moonlight draped over it, giving it an eerie beauty.

　It was like a dark elf standing in a lava hell, its aura chilling and unapproachable.

　The magic ball belonging to the red team had somehow moved from under its belly to its back!

　"【Greedy1i】"

　Dark looked at the new magic card in his hand and smiled.

　Just as he had thought.

　The fact that the red team's magic ball has less than 3,000 magic points left is an obvious and fatal flaw.

　Given Matthew Bilbohm's impatient and opportunistic nature, he would inevitably focus his attention on this fatal flaw.

　Even if you initially rely on rationality and restraint, you will eventually be unable to escape this cycle.

　Moreover, he had already put Matthew at a disadvantage, and this was the simplest and most direct way for Matthew to turn the tide.

　Once Matthew's attention is drawn to a specific point, he can then exploit that point to expose even greater weaknesses in Matthew's defenses.

　This tactic of using a magic ball as bait is taught in the Duel Class and is not a rare thing.

　At this point, regardless of how many spell cards similar to the [Lightning Spell] Matthew possesses, it has no effect.

　Yes, because Matthew will definitely come up with other ways to counter the Magic Ball.

　All Dark needs to do is focus all his attention on his magic ball!

　Therefore, while Matthew thought he was distracted, his attention had actually never left the magic ball.

　He perfectly grasped the signs of the impending magma eruption!

　With a gentle flick, the red Magic Ball was moved onto the back of [Umbreon].

　"That's all."

　The duel ended abruptly.

　When the blue team's magic ball's life barrier completely shattered, many spectators...

　Attention was still focused on the red team's projected health.

　Even after the referee's whistle blew, some people still hadn't quite grasped the situation:

　The red team's health points clearly weren't zero, so why did the duel end so quickly?
