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

　Dark squinted at Doron and felt that there was something different about Doron.

　He became more resolute and courageous, more like a traditional knight. Although knights are often romanticized in literature, in reality, most knights had rock-hard muscles from rigorous training and faces roughened and tanned by the elements. Moreover, they were relatively rough due to their long military service.

　Those exceptionally handsome and refined knights exist primarily in the imagination; they are extremely rare in reality.

　But bringing imagination to life is the duty of a mage.

　If Dorron can grow up smoothly according to this trend, he will be a dragon knight who is perfect both inside and out!

　"Domain Deployment!" "Domain Deployment!"

　Both duelists summon their duel domains simultaneously once they have taken their positions.

　Doron's dueling arena has an ancient beauty, while Lyrella's dueling arena is like a surging tide.

　The two combat zones touched at the center line of the field, then merged and became one.

　Two different Duel Spirits flew out from their respective Duel Disks, and a countdown of exactly one hundred and eighty seconds appeared above the center line of the Duel Field.

　Three minutes to prepare for the duel.

　Doron greeted the lady opposite him with great politeness. Electric sparks danced in Larella's hair as she placed one hand on her lower abdomen, bowed slightly in return, and then immediately straightened up, standing ramrod straight.

　The Ocean Magic Academy contains many textbooks describing humankind, such as "Human Sociology." Lairella is familiar with this kind of polite greeting and does not object to doing so.

　Moreover, this behavior made her feel a great sense of ritual.

　There are also characters among the sea creatures who rush in without saying a word and shout for a duel.

　To be honest, she's very unlikable.

　"If only the men of the sea tribe could be like the men of the land."

　Leirila carefully observed Doron, her first opponent since arriving on land, who possessed the appearance and temperament of her ideal type.

　Unfortunately, an opponent is an opponent, and no matter how good-looking they are, she will not hold back in the slightest.

　Pre-match communication was not very meaningful, and neither side had any intention of communicating. So they tacitly skipped the communication phase and went straight to "Preparation Phase 1".

　The countdown for "Preparation Phase 1" is also 180 seconds. Duelists must place their decks into the slots and shuffle the decks before these 180 seconds expire.

　The two players exchanged a glance, then took out their prepared decks, placed them in the slots, and began shuffling.

　Once the shuffling was complete, Doron called out from afar, "Begin." Lyrella nodded slightly and said crisply and directly, "Begin."

　Thus, both sides reached an agreement, and the duel entered "Preparation Phase 2". "Preparation Phase 2" is the card drawing phase.

　Duelists must draw cards before the 30-second countdown ends and formulate an immediate strategy based on their initial five cards.

　Thirty seconds later, the duel will enter "Battle Phase 1", and the battle will officially begin.

　Doron silently counted down, and when he heard the familiar "beep" sound, he immediately drew one of the five cards in his hand and then chanted loudly.

　Like Dark, Dorron also studied "Chi," and his close-combat abilities should not be underestimated.

　But he was facing an opponent from an unknown sea race.

　There are quite a few giant creatures among the sea creatures, and even after transforming into human form, they retain some of their immense strength. Fighting such opponents in close combat is a huge disadvantage.

　Therefore, Doron is prepared to adopt a traditional dueling tactic centered around magical spirits.

　However, when summoning the first magical spirit, he intentionally walked in front, intending to shield the relatively vulnerable magical spirit behind him.

　This is something that duels of the old era could not achieve.

　In the old days, duels required magical spirits to protect the magic orb, unlike now where the human body can be used as a shield.

　The biggest advantage of doing this is that it prevents opponents from using ranged, instant-cast, targeted ultimate skills or spells, thus avoiding the initial summoning...

　The summoned magical spirit was instantly killed.

　If the instantly killed magic sprite doesn't have a deathrattle effect, it will be very difficult to build a team afterward, and winning will be extremely difficult.

　Of course, if one has outstanding abilities, it is possible to hold out until the next opportunity to unfold.

　However, the biggest prerequisite for doing this is that the duelist's own physique is strong enough to withstand the instantaneous killing move from a distance.

　But just as Doron had adjusted his position and was about to complete the "Normal Summon", lightning suddenly flashed above his head.

　"Boom!"

　A thunderous roar shook the entire stadium.

　The golden lightning bolt struck down in that instant.

　Duolong had no chance to dodge and was struck by the lightning from the top of his head. His hair stood straight up in an instant, and he trembled on the spot as if having a seizure.

　He was not killed instantly.

　While the lightning released by Lyrella was impressive, its actual intensity was still quite far from that of natural lightning.

　This lightning bolt is more than enough to kill a three-star magic elf, or even a regular magic master.

　But Dorron was no ordinary person. His physique, while not exceptionally strong, was certainly not weak. In addition, the "qi" he gathered in that moment of crisis successfully offset much of the lightning's power.

　This meant he not only survived but was also only slightly injured, though the paralysis was unavoidable, making it difficult for him to move for a short period.

　Leirila lowered her hand, her face showing surprise.

　She thought this attack would end the duel, so she didn't summon any magic cards. Unexpectedly, Doron actually withstood it.

　"Some skills."

　Lightning crackled in Lyrella's hair as she began to recharge her energy. Until she was fully charged, she couldn't unleash lightning and had to revert to her magical form, focusing on summoning magical spirits.

　She hadn't expected Dorgon to be able to withstand it, so she didn't unleash her summons, which made her a little slow.

　But this isn't a big problem, since Doron is still in a state of paralysis.

　She summoned it with ease, and the first magical spirit was a fish with a yellow gem hanging on its head.

　Magical spirits do not need to breathe. Even fish can survive on land, but they cannot swim freely, and this will negatively affect some of their special abilities or special moves.

　But everything Lyrella does is aimed at achieving victory. The "Electric Gem Fish" she summons can also unleash powerful electric shocks, but the lightning it releases is crooked, slow, and easy to dodge.

　But what if its target is an opponent who is paralyzed and unable to move?

　Duolong stood on the high platform, unable to express his bitterness.

　If he had known his opponent could unleash this level of lightning, he would have definitely worn an insulated helmet before entering the fray.

　How could I be so numb right now, watching helplessly as a bolt of lightning wobbles and hurtles towards me?

　The magical spirit he summoned at the start of the game was just a three-star "Airspeed Dragon".

　The "Skyspeed Dragon" is not much different in appearance from a regular bipedal dragon, except that its legs are relatively weak while its wings are relatively well-developed, allowing it to ride the wind and fly faster and higher.

　Doron summons the "Sky Dragon" solely for the purpose of "taking off." Riding the "Sky Dragon" transforms him into a dragon rider, allowing him to survey the battlefield from the air and instill despair in his opponents who cannot reach the sky.

　This tactic was frequently used in older duels, but it was applied to the Magic Ball.

　The magic sphere, high in the sky, was difficult to attack and therefore unharmed. However, before he could even sit on the back of the "Sky Dragon," he was struck by lightning.

　This time, he had no way to dodge the second electric shock and could only desperately try to signal to "Airspeed Dragon".

　The "Skyspeed Dragon" was more than half a beat slow in understanding the Archmage's meaning.

　Suddenly, it straightened its neck, grabbed the back of Duolong's school uniform collar with its mouth, lifted it up, and then flung it behind its back.

　With the cushioning of the wind, Doron was thrown onto the back of the dragon. Although his posture was crooked, at least he was sitting up.

　Then, the "Skyspeed Dragon" flapped its wings and carried Doron into the sky.

　The lightning released by the "Electric Gemfish" seemed to have eyes, chasing after the "Aerial Speed ​​Dragon." However, its speed was too slow to catch up with the "Aerial Speed ​​Dragon," and it would only fall further and further behind until its energy was exhausted. Meanwhile, Doron, who hadn't been hit by the additional electric shock, would recover from its paralysis. Lyrella, seeing the situation clearly, immediately summoned a second magical spirit. The second magical spirit, upon being summoned, immediately unleashed its ultimate move, "Electric Magnetic Field," turning the entire duel area into an electric field.

　This "electric magnetic field" can enhance the attack and speed of electric-type special moves, and can also charge certain magical spirits.

　—Lairilla herself can also enjoy this charging effect.

　The electricity that would normally take five minutes to fully recharge can be replenished in just one minute within the "electric magnetic field".

　In other words, it's two rounds.

　After two rounds, Lyrella will have the ability to unleash a powerful, ranged, instantaneous, and guaranteed-hit electric shock once again.

　This is a natural ability, not magic.

　If the "electric magnetic field" is not dispelled, she can unleash a powerful electric shock every two rounds.

　Even if you can't kill your opponent, you can paralyze them.

　Now, after releasing the "electric magnetic field," she directly discarded them after using them, offering the two magical elves as sacrifices to summon a six-star...

　Magical Spirit - "Thunder Clam"!

　"Thunder Clam, Lightning Charge!" Lyrella suddenly raised her hand and pointed to the sky.

　The three-meter-long "Thunder Scorpion" was floating in the air. After using its ultimate move "Lightning Charge," it was wrapped in lightning and charged towards the "Air Speed ​​Dragon" at a terrifying speed.

　"Airspeed Dragon" is a flying-type magical spirit. Its passive special move "Airspeed" allows it to accelerate in the wind at extremely high speeds.

　However, after using "Lightning Charge", "Thunder Clam" unleashed an even faster instantaneous speed, catching up with "Airspeed Dragon" in the blink of an eye.

　Doron stared wide-eyed at the approaching "Thunder Shell," gritting his teeth.

　He's still in a state of paralysis!

　Lyrella's lightning ability is just too overpowered.

　It has no cooldown at the start, is instant-cast and always hits, has no range limit at long range, and also has a paralysis effect.

　This ability would be a powerful weapon even in actual combat. Let alone in a magical duel where there are certain restrictions.

　In other words, Lyrella was still a third-year student, and her strength was limited. Otherwise, during that brief period of paralysis, Doron would have died countless times.

　But there are no "what ifs" in a duel. The fact is, Doron is still alive.

　You can't just surrender and admit defeat when your opponent tells you, "You're like a candle flickering in the wind."

　Doron didn't want to be killed in his first open tournament after the grueling military training.

　He watched as the "Thunder Clam" hurtled towards him, its magic power surging to its limit. His thoughts raced in that instant, and images flashed before his eyes, but they all shattered and were utterly useless.

　In this moment of complete numbness, even with an unprecedentedly clear mind enveloped in magic, what could one do if one couldn't even summon?

　So, aside from being a mage, what else does he have besides being a knight?

　He is a dragon knight, an indomitable warrior!

　Doron's eyes widened further in that instant, the electric current stimulating his pupils, causing the veins at the corners of his eyes to bulge out, as if they were about to burst!

　"Ouch!"

　He broke free of his restraints, forcing the voice out from beneath his throat. In that instant, the "energy" flowing within him passed through all six chakras, rushing straight to the top of his head, and breaking through the seventh chakra located at the top of his head—the [Samancha]!

　Unlike Dak, Doron has a talent in this area. The reason he is favored by the elders in the Doron family is certainly not just because of his good looks. Character and talent are both indispensable.

　Starting with Franklin Dorron, the Dorron family began to focus on training magic warriors who combined "air" and "magic" to replace the magic warriors of the old era.

　And Dorron was one of those selected for the training list of magical warriors after Franklin Dorron's success.

　Moreover, due to his outstanding performance during the holiday military training, he has already become the top candidate on the training list!

　Caught in the painful transition of a changing era, the Doron family urgently needed to adapt. And Teddy Doron was born to meet this need!

　Whoa, whoa, whoa!

　That's what some people say.

　In short, at the critical moment, Duolong broke through the seventh chakra and finally successfully released the "qi" in his body, forming an extremely oppressive "momentum"!

　A sufficiently powerful "momentum" can even create an effect similar to the might of a dragon, collectively suppressing those with weaker mental strength.

　Doron's "momentum" was nothing short of dragon's might! "Roar—"

　A terrifying dragon roar suddenly echoed in the void, jolting the spectators who were intently watching the situation. A dragon's shadow formed above Doron's head.

　That was clearly the "Tyrannosaurus Rex"! Although it wasn't a pure-blooded dragon shadow, a Tyrannosaurus Rex was still a dragon.

　Duolong felt as if every pore of his body was filled with air, and the remaining electric current was dispersed by the airflow, instantly eliminating the numbness throughout his body.

　The charging "Thunder Clam" was intimidated by the dragon's might, and its speed suddenly slowed down.

　At this moment, Doron's momentum reached its limit, and he suddenly steered the "Airspeed Dragon" to charge forward head-on.
