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

　Once the "Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon" successfully hatches, the first round is basically over, and you will then acquire two new magic cards.

　But Fate Steinbeck obviously wouldn't just leave those ten seconds to waste.

　After the "Star Instrument" disappeared back into the "Star Orbit", she began the third summoning.

　But what she used was neither a normal summoning spell nor a sacrificial summoning spell.

　It was a kind of summoning technique that Dark had not yet encountered at this moment... no, it was clearly a summoning technique that was not recorded in any textbook!

　Accompanied by F. Steinbeck's chanting, a giant hand is projected from the sphere of light that releases the "Starlink," forming a clock shape with the "star trails" and "gradations."

　The pointer, where starlight converged, was undulated by the chanting, and a mystical sound, like silk and bamboo, resounded in the void, soothing and refreshing.

　As the pointer began to rotate from the mark "0", it completed one rotation, and then another, and Fette Steinbeck's summoning spell was finally finished.

　Then, a humanoid figure, resembling a gathering of starlight, descended upon the blue team's summoning area like a falling meteor!

　"Star Soul Guide, construct the Star Orbit!"

　The moment Fate Steinbeck summoned the magical spirit using a special summoning technique, he issued the exact same command as when he summoned the "Starry Night".

　Then the magical elf known as the "Star Soul Guide" crossed her arms over her chest, bowed her head slightly, as if chanting or praying.

　A ring radiating colorful light then appeared around him.

　One lap, two laps.

　A faint, almost imperceptible "_" sound rang out. The two concentric rings then suddenly expanded!

　The first ring unfolded at the interface level with the sphere of light. The second ring unfolded above the sphere of light, at a higher interface. In an instant, three layers of "star trails" were erected from top to bottom across the arena.

　With the establishment of the triple "star track", a "star chain" was shot out again from the light sphere, connecting with the two new "star tracks" to form a new scale.

　But at the moment Starlink and Starrail connected, Dark Dimon finally caught a glimpse of familiarity.

　A spark of wisdom was born from this.

　His eyes suddenly shone brightly, finally connecting a series of events!

　"That's it, astrology!"

　……

　The answer was actually there from the beginning.

　Fate Steinbeck, a senior student, had given him a heads-up when they met this morning. However, Dark had never seen her before and hadn't considered it.

　At this moment, combined with what he saw before him, he finally understood why senior student Fate Steinbeck had asked about his astrological skills.

　He abruptly closed his eyes, magic flowing through his body, and following that insight, he cast an astrological spell.

　The moment the astrology was completed, he did not open his eyes, but he saw the "star trails" and "star chains" located in the field.

　"Indeed, astrology is the key to identifying the power of the stars." He opened his eyes again, reality and illusion intertwined.

　What he saw was vastly different from what he had seen before.

　While continuously practicing "astrology", he could clearly perceive the "light" flowing between the "star trails" and "star chains".

　The first "Star Orb" to disappear into the "Star Trail" was a ray of light. The blue magic orb that disappeared into it afterward was also a ray of light.

　Even the "poisonous babies" who accidentally stumble into it are still a ray of light.

　Then, the "Star Soul Guide" also entered it, becoming the fourth ray of light.

　All that light was flowing at high speed within the "star trails" and "star chains".

　Only by using "astrology" can their trajectories be predicted, their locations located, and their identification made possible.

　However, Dark's astrology is only a beginner's guide, and it is quite difficult to discern its principles.

　He frowned and said in a low voice, "Single Sword Sheath, obey my command."

　"Qiang Qiang!"

　The "single sword sheath" vibrates in response.

　Dak flicked his fingers, as if performing a sword technique, and a wisp of "spiritual fire" swirled around his fingertips.

　The "bond" between him and the "single sword sheath" is beginning to emerge.

　As their hearts connect, a connection is formed that feels almost tangible.

　"Entering 'Star Trails'!"

　Without hesitation, "Single Sword Sheath" obeyed the order and entered "Star Orbit"! In that instant, Dark, who was connected with it through a spiritual bond, combined with "Astrology" and gained a clear understanding.

　Images flashed through his mind.

　When the "single sword sheath" enters the "star trail," it is as if it has entered a universe filled with stars.

　"Gotcha!" *Whoosh!*

　His mind, along with the "single sword sheath," flowed at high speed through the "star trails," and then, based on the predictions of "astrology," he seized Fette Steinbeck's "astrograph"!

　"Sword Dance!"

　The fierce momentum suddenly intensified!

　The form of "Single Sword Sheath" emerged from the "Star Trail" on the second layer, with the sword blade bursting out of the sheath. A violent current of air swirled around it, forming a gigantic sword.

　The sword slashed down from above, as if it were about to cleave the entire star track in two. "Boom!"

　Although the "Sword Dance" didn't reach its full potential, the sword strike from the "Single Sword Sheath" still managed to cleave the "Star Instrument" in two!

　"boom!"

　The "Star Gazette," which also takes shape above the star trails, bursts into a shower of starlight the moment it appears.

　"Tick."

　Once again.

　On the blue team's platform, Fate Steinbeck's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

　At this moment, most spectators outside the stadium were unable to discern what had transpired. However, the scenes unfolding on the field during this round were undoubtedly dazzling and spectacular, creating a tremendous visual impact.

　When the magical spirits fight in the "Star Trail," they automatically reveal their forms without affecting their viewing experience.

　Although it is incomprehensible, its merits and demerits can be seen from its appearance.

　Although Darko Dimon successfully defeated "Astral Instrument," this field remains Fate Steinbeck's home ground.

　"The advantage remains with us!"

　Fate Steinbeck casually drew two new magic cards from his deck and added them to his hand.

　Then he raised his voice and asked, "Junior Brother Dimon, have you learned it?" Dark nodded and said, "I have."

　"Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me." Learning is not shameful. He also added two new magic cards to his hand.

　[Arrogance 44] [Dronbalto]

　"Pride 4"?

　Dark's gaze lingered briefly on "Fantastic Beast: Eevee" which had returned to his hand.

　As he used astrology to perceive the star trails, "Eevee!" autonomously completed his command, seamlessly replacing the "Primordial Dragon Egg".

　Thanks to Fate Steinbeck not attacking the dragon eggs, the Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon hatched successfully.

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

　Regardless, he had to test the waters with the venue's effects. "Roar—"

　The Blue-Eyes Young Dragon raised its head and roared, as brilliant white light descended from the sky, like the gentle fall of angel feathers.

　Light fell to the ground, and light fell into the "star trails." But it did not cause any impact on the "star trails." The "star trails" seemed to be located in another dimension.

　"Now that you've learned it, I'm going to begin."

　Fate Steinbeck smiled and reminded him, slowly drawing a magic card from her slender hand.

　Then he suddenly said, "Star Soul Guides, it's time to go!"

Chapter 853 [Vote Requested] Darkdemon and the Trails of the Stars (4k)

　Fette Steinbeck's opening move clearly had a teaching element to it.

　Of course, she did gain a slight psychological advantage from this. But in the context of the entire duel, that slight psychological advantage was ultimately useless.

　This raises even greater questions: Why did Fate Steinbeck specifically mention Dark beforehand?

　It stems from confidence in its own technology.

　He still believed that even if he revealed the secret to Dark, he could still win easily.

　She was clearly not such an arrogant person.

　So, why is that?

　This thought would occasionally flash through Dak's mind.

　However, given the intense nature of duels, he would often suppress that thought as soon as it crossed his mind.

　All the answers will be sought after the duel ends!

　Fate Steinbeck did not rush to summon at the beginning of the second round, but instead issued an attack command to "Star Soul Guide".

　The "Star Soul Guide" she summoned with a special summoning spell is clearly a second-tier magical spirit.

　When it was summoned, the pointer formed by the convergence of starlight rotated twice. If we extrapolate from this, could rotating it three times summon a third-tier magical spirit?

　Hidden within the "Star Orbit," the "Star Soul Guide's" attack remained undetected.

　Almost as soon as Fate Steinbeck gave the order, the glowing body of the "Star Soul Guide" emerged from the third layer of "Star Orbit".

　Its feet were still on the "star track", but its body, which seemed to be formed by the convergence of starlight, stretched into a galaxy in an instant. Its arms at the front crossed, like a cross blade, and slashed at the red magic ball!

　"Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon!"

　Dark had barely managed to utter the name "Blue-Eyes Young Dragon" when the "Star Soul Guide" had already pounced on the red team's magic orb.

　In that critical moment, his magical energy flow accelerated dramatically, instantly surpassing the limits that ordinary humans could reach.

　The surging magic broke through the shackles, and the red magic ball flew higher into the sky in an instant.

　However, the attack from the "Star Soul Guide" still left a terrible cross-shaped slash mark on the Magic Orb's life barrier.

　[Life (Red): 6500 → 4500]

　The "Star Soul Guide" passed right through the spot where the magic orb had been.

　Its attack clearly did not achieve its full potential.

　Otherwise, the damage inflicted on the red magic ball would have been far more than two thousand points. After this attack, its half-body, which had not been stretched or twisted, stood frozen in the air for half a second, about to shrink back into the "star trail".

　Fate Steinbeck's normal summoning spell was finally complete.

　She held the magic card she had just drawn in the second round above her head and suddenly shouted: "With the Star Soul as the guide, shine, light of the stars!"

　A dazzling white light, as bright as day, instantly erupted from the "Star Soul Guide".

　"Roar--"

　The Blue-Eyes Young Dragon finally appeared and, under Dark's command, pounced on the radiant Star Soul Guide.

　After its first attack failed, the six-star magical spirit was supposed to retreat back into its "orbit." However, a magic card from Fate Steinbeck rekindled its power, allowing it to unleash a second, even more powerful finishing move.

　If Dark fails to react in time and this attack hits, the remaining life barrier of the red team's magic orb might not be able to hold—no, it certainly won't.

　Just as the Blue-Eyes Young Dragon's claws were about to touch the Star Soul Guide, starlight suddenly erupted, tearing the Blue-Eyes Young Dragon's body apart. Its 2500-point defense seemed to vanish, and its dragon scales melted away like snow.

　Even after casting "Hall of Light", he still had 2400 points of magic power, which disappeared in an instant.

　The Blue-Eyes Young Dragon has been defeated! But it is not out of the game!

　Within the "Hall of Light," even if a "Blue-Eyes Young Dragon" dies, it will be reborn as a spirit.

　Although the spirit's duration is only three minutes, it is still enough in a magical duel where every second counts.

　In its spirit form, the Blue-Eyes Young Dragon's special attack will not be refreshed. Using special attacks like "Dragon Egg Conversion" will not truly bring it back to life, and magic like "Resurrection of the Dead" is temporarily ineffective. Because it is still in a state between life and death, it cannot be considered "dead"—"Whoosh!"

　After that attack.

　The "Star Soul Guide" instantly shrank back into the "Star Orbit".
