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

　"What's wrong, Dorron?" He thought something had happened.

　But in the end, Doron just came to ask him to go to the duel arena together... and then there was a round of encouragement!

　Dark could only say he appreciated the good intentions.

　Half past eight in the morning.

　Darko separated from Doron and others and entered the players' tunnel.

　Then at 8:50, he went back up to the contestant's platform.

　Fate Steinbeck didn't seem to have many friends or family; Dark saw her sitting alone when he first entered the dueling arena.

　Now that both of them have stepped onto the contestant's stage, the cheers from the audience make him realize that his senior, Steinbeck, is also a popular contestant.

　However, humans are visual creatures, and it's hard for a contestant with good looks and a very unique fighting style not to be popular.

　Dak is positioned on the red team's side.

　Fette Steinbeck is positioned on the blue team's side.

　Even after activating the table, Dak still looked puzzled.

　After thinking it over carefully, he simply turned on the speakerphone and asked, "Senior Steinbeck, why are you asking me about astrology?"

　He originally wanted to ask Fate Steinbeck directly whether his deck was related to astrology.

　However, asking about the opponent's deck information so blatantly before the duel begins is clearly a taboo act.

　Therefore, Dark said it differently.

　But Fate Steinbeck simply blinked and said, "If you want to know, let's start the duel. The duel will tell you the answer."

　“I hate riddle solvers,” Dark said, “especially when they’re on the solver’s side.”

　Fate Steinbeck chuckled, “But if you’re the one setting the questions, you’ll always find it fascinating.”

　Dark couldn't help but laugh: "So, people always think they are the ones setting the questions." Fate Steinbeck's face slowly tightened.

　The atmosphere between the two fighters was gradually developing in the direction of a suitable duel.

　"Wow—"

　As the whistle blew, the words "Preparation Phase" appeared on the projection.

　The duel is now in its warm-up phase.

　Dark chuckled and said, "Senior Steinbeck, as a 'diviner,' can you predict the outcome of this duel?"

　Fette Steinbeck shook his head and smiled. "Divination is not such a convenient thing."

　"Is that so?" Dark placed his hand on the deck, suddenly narrowed his eyes, focused his mind, and quickly concentrated his mental energy.

　The atmosphere both inside and outside the arena quickly became tense as the two players fell silent.

　v

　"Preparation Phase" [30s]a

　The "Preparation Phase" has officially begun! Both players draw cards simultaneously.

　Dark still had doubts, but those doubts wouldn't become a shackle for the duel; instead, they would make him more cautious.

　His current deck has also undergone some adjustments, but it's uncertain whether they will be effective.

　However, from the moment a deck is placed into a slot, the duelist must place complete trust in their deck.

　"One, two, three, four, five! Five magic cards in my starting hand!"

　【Fantasy Beast: Eevee】

　[Single Sword Sheath (Weapon Form)] [Poison Baby]

　【Soul of the Moon God 1】

　[Underworld Soul Ring]

　The moment Dark confirmed his hand, he immediately realized the strength of this starting hand.

　Even if there is no "Sin Card" in the starting hand, the existence of "Soul of the Moon God" perfectly makes up for it.

　Whether you use "Eevee" to swap out Elysium's Magical Spirit or directly summon "Poison Baby" to make it evolve, you can bring out "Luna" in the first round.

　With the "Single Sword Sheath" in hand, the already extremely powerful "Moon Goddess" can be further enhanced.

　If Fate Steinbeck had no countermeasures, the outcome might have been decided in the very first round!

　Thinking of this, Dak slightly raised his head to look at the opposite side.

　But then they saw Fate Steinbeck looking at them with a half-smile. Her face was beautiful, her eyes large and bright, seemingly holding untold stories.

　But Dak, who was wary of this, immediately felt a strong sense of urgency.

　"Eevee: Eevee" can be used to exchange for "Primal Dragon Egg".

　Using "Poison Baby" as the main body of "Moon Goddess" is the most appropriate choice.

　Moreover, "Poison Baby" is a three-star magic spirit with extremely high strength, and can deal with emergencies in the first instance.

　However, this consideration also has its variables.

　"Poison Baby" is mischievous and incorrigible, always doing unexpected things at unexpected times.

　"Tick!"

　The thirty-second countdown passed in the blink of an eye, and Dark had little time to think. The moment he switched from the "preparation phase" to the "battle phase," he unleashed a normal summoning spell.

　"In the name of Dark Demon, I summon the magician—'Poison Baby'!" The summoning light descended.

　Within the red team's summoning zone, a purple magical spirit, resembling an infant with three poison needles protruding from its head, materialized.

　“Beibeibei—”

　Joyful laughter immediately filled the venue.

　"Poison Baby" stands upside down in the air, slowly spinning like a top.

　"Poisonous Baby, acting cute!"

　In the brief three-second interval, Dark gave instructions to "Poison Baby".

　"Poison Baby" then spun around its big head, turning from upside down to upright, and then blinked its cute big eyes at the other side.

　At this moment, a magical spirit has also materialized in the blue team's summoning area.

　Fate Steinbeck also opted for a conventional starting move. However, the magical spirit it summoned was extremely unusual.

　It was a sphere with a diameter of over one meter. Its surface was transparent, but its interior shimmered with countless starlight, like a fluid swirling within the Milky Way, mysterious and unpredictable.

　Chapter 852 Darkdemon Stands Above the Stars

　"Mechanical type, super-powered type - Star Instrument!" Data about this item flashed through Dark's mind.

　In the astrological system, the "Star Instrument" is a rare item that can be used as a substitute for the crystal ball.

　But if it were to be refined into a magical spirit...

　This was indeed beyond the scope of Dark's current knowledge. Unable to determine whether it was real or fake, he immediately had "Poison Baby" use "Adoration" to reduce the attack power of the "Star Instrument".

　In this way, even if the "Star Instrument" has a super long-range ultimate skill that can instantly kill "Poison Baby", it will be difficult to achieve its goal.

　However, F. Steinbeck did not issue an attack order to the "Starlight".

　"The 'Star Instrument' will be used to set up 'star trails'!"

　During the three-second cooldown of a normal summoning spell, Fate Steinbeck issued a command to the "Astral Instrument" that completely surprised Dark.

　Then, the galaxy inside the "Star Instrument" suddenly accelerated its rotation, and a ray of colorful light bloomed, creating a ring on its circumference that resembled a planet's orbit.

　The ring was black with silver shimmering within it, and occasionally it would radiate a layer of seven-colored light, making it quite dazzling.

　The moment the ring was formed, the "Star Instrument" suddenly spun, and the ring suddenly expanded outward, instantly becoming an elliptical orbit about the size of a field.

　The "Star Instrument," which resembled a planet, sat on the star orbit before suddenly disappearing.

　Then, Fate Steinbeck flicked his finger, controlling the blue magic ball to fly above the star trails, disappearing into them as well.

　In just two or three seconds, the "Star Gauge" and the blue team's guide ball both disappeared!

　Dark was surprised, but by then the cooldown of his summoning spell had already finished. He immediately summoned and activated "Soul of the Moon Goddess 1" in an attempt to first evolve "Poison Baby" into "Moon Goddess" before trying to unravel the mystery of the star trail.

　However, he had only cast half of his usual summoning spell when he suddenly realized... he had lost his target!

　“Beibeibei—”

　Only the adorable chirping of "Poison Baby" remained in the air. As "Star Trail" spread before its eyes, it tentatively reached out and touched it, only to be sucked right in!

　Dark was forced to stop casting his spell and couldn't help but slap his forehead. "Who would willingly walk into someone's field spell?"

　The effect of this "star trail" is unclear, but it is obviously similar to field magic. As long as you don't enter the field, you will most likely not be affected.

　Dark glanced at his own magic orb, which was still above the red team's summoning zone, and immediately drew out the [Single Sword Sheath (Weapon Form)] to summon again.

　"With Dark Demon, magical summoning—'Single Sword Sheath'!"

　Meanwhile, Fite Steinbeck, who had anticipated this, completed his second summoning first.

　She drew a magic card from her hand, held it to her lips, and whispered, "In the name of Fate Steinbeck, link—'Starlink'!" As the words were spoken, the magic card emitted an extremely dazzling starlight.

　The starlight converged into a giant sphere of light in the center of the arena, and as it rotated, it shot out chains of starlight toward the "star trails".

　By the time Dak summoned the "Single Sword Sheath", the entire arena was filled with starlight.

　The twelve "star chains" and "star trails" that emanate from the sphere of light connect to form twelve marks resembling a clock.

　The mark closest to F. Steinbeck's mark is designated "0". The mark closest to D. Dumont's mark is designated "6".

　"The 'Single Sword Sheath' transforms into an elf, severing the Star Chains!"

　Dark's gaze sharpened, and he pointed his right hand, forming a sword shape with his fingers, at the twelve dazzling "star chains".

　The "single sword sheath," transformed into a magical spirit, shot out instantly—but its blade pierced directly through the star chain.

　To it, the "Starlink" was like a phantom.

　Dark hesitated, but he couldn't risk ordering the "single-blade sheath" to stab at the "star trail"—what if it was also sucked into the "star trail"?

　But just as this thought flashed through his mind...

　The first "star instrument" to disappear into the "star track" suddenly appeared at the "6" mark.

　Its upper half was submerged in the "star trails," as if it were rising from the surface of a river. And within its body, starlight was gathering—"Starlight, purifying evil!"

　Fette Steinbeck suddenly let out a sharp shout.

　The starlight within the "Star Instrument" suddenly converged into a dazzling beam of light, which instantly struck the red magic ball located right in front of it!

　[Life (Red): 8000 → 6500]

　After this launch, the "Star Instrument" did not continue its attack, but instead disappeared back into the "Star Orbit" and vanished once more.

　"Magic Ball..."

　Dark was startled and quickly released his magic to pull the red magic ball into the air.

　However, the "star beam" just fired by the "Star Gauge" would be extremely difficult to avoid unless he pulled the magic ball more than 500 meters away.

　After the "Star Instrument" sank into the "Star Trails," it vanished without a trace. Dark wasn't unwilling to attack, but he had no target. How could he attack "what exactly are these [Star Trails] and [Star Chains]?"

　At that moment, Dark Dimon was utterly bewildered. Though he didn't want to admit it, he had never seen Fate Steinbeck use this method before. And he had absolutely no idea how to counter it!

　Since the "star trails" create an effect similar to a field spell, can it be covered by a field effect?

　"Blue-Eyes Young Dragon, Shrine of Light!"

　"In the name of Dark Demon, a magical summoning—'Fantastic Beast: Eevee'!"

　"Single Sword Sheath, protect!"

　"Eevee, the Monster Hunter," "Passing the Baton"—[The Primal Dragon Egg]

　From summoning "Eevee!" to using "Batter" to replace the "Primal Dragon Egg" and then hatching it into "Blue-Eyes Baby", it takes about ten seconds.
