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

　After Babayevned it, he actually crouched down and used the magical sprite as an egg-shaped sniper rifle, quickly taking aim.

　As for who he's targeting...

　Vitgot's adrenaline surged, and his sense of crisis erupted instantly. Almost immediately, he shielded himself with the "Holy Sword of Light, Zoffy".

　"Slurp—"

　The next second, a slight gust of wind was heard.

　Vitgot felt a tremendous force coming from his holy sword. He quickly used his left hand to support the blade, thus preventing himself from falling backward.

　But just as he was about to catch his breath, he saw that Babayevnidam on the other side was still in the same position, motionless.

　then……

　"Slurp—"

　The same sound of wind, the same bullets, the same impact.

　Vittorgaard stumbled back a step, feeling as if his greatsword was about to break.

　Babayevnedim's bullets fired extremely quickly, with almost no cooldown. Under these circumstances, Witt simply couldn't find the time to summon new magic cards.

　And the "Holy Sword of Light Zoffy" that he supports with both hands may not be able to withstand many bullets.

　Conversely, Babayevnidam was able to deploy with ease, using the gaps between aiming and reloading to summon magic cards.

　Wittgart's pressure increased sharply, and he even felt a slight heat on his forehead, as if sweat was flowing out.

　"Take another hit!" I suddenly made up my mind.

　Vitgot's expression was serious, and the magic power within his body surged wildly into the "Holy Sword of Light, Zoffy".

　A blinding white light suddenly shone on the blade of the "Holy Sword of Light, Zoffy," and the white light also faintly took on the shape of a sword, only further enlarging the blade.

　But a few seconds later, he did not receive a third bullet.

　But then, a magic card suddenly appeared in Babayevnedam's hand.

　Immediately afterwards, he actually inserted the magic card directly into the card slot on the back of the egg-shaped machine, and then... aimed at Vitgot again!

　"Oops!"

　Vitgot's mind went blank with alarm bells, and he almost immediately realized that he might not be able to withstand Babayev's attack.

　"Can't wait any longer!"

　He suddenly realized, then gathered his magic power and roared, "Greatsword of Light Zoffy - Holy Court Judgment!"

　In addition to its enhancement capabilities as a holy sword, "Zoffy, the Holy Sword of Light" also possesses a very powerful ultimate move, namely "Holy Court Judgment".

　When he casts "Holy Court Judgment", the immense magical power gathered in the "Holy Sword" bursts into the sky, forming the shape of a giant sword.

　That was a true greatsword of light, a greatsword formed from light.

　As Virtold's magic continued to flow in, the greatsword of light continued to grow longer and wider.

　In the blink of an eye, the giant sword of light grew to over a hundred meters long, and a terrifying and solemn aura erupted throughout the entire arena!

　In that instant, the audience members who were staring intently at the arena subconsciously held their breath.

　"call out--"

　Suddenly, a sound crossed the space and reached everyone's ears.

　But it was Babayevnidam who finally fired the third bullet—a magic card.

　Enveloped in a special magical power, the magic card sped forward, instantly traversing a hundred meters and heading straight for the "Holy Sword".

　But when the magic card was less than five meters away from the "Holy Sword," a magic circle suddenly shone brightly on it. The magic circle spun rapidly on the card, summoning the item inside the magic card in a very special way—"delayed summoning."

　On the viewing platform, Dark suddenly realized something and whispered, "That Babayevnidam used a high-level technique called 'Delayed Summoning'."

　While delayed summoning still falls under the category of normal summoning, it fundamentally negates the principle that "the faster the better" in normal summoning.

　Although it is an extremely advanced skill and a derivative application of common summoning, it is not in textbooks and no one would deliberately study it.

　Talk about it.

　This was the first time Dark had ever seen someone use delayed summoning in real life. But judging from Babayevnidam's actions, his tactics combined with delayed summoning could indeed produce brilliant results.

　The magic card was summoned and activated when it was shot in front of the "Holy Sword," and then something that looked like a grenade emerged from the card and materialized.

　And then... explosions, explosions, and more explosions! "Boom!"

　Just one

　One explosive device, yet it produced the feeling of a dozen bombs exploding at the same time.

　A series of explosions suddenly erupted, deafeningly loud. The audience members instinctively covered their ears.

　Vitgold, facing the explosion head-on, suddenly shrank back, completely hiding himself behind the "Holy Sword".

　If he hadn't used "Holy Court Judgment" in time to summon the Greatsword of Light, the width of the "Holy Sword" itself would have been insufficient to stop the terrifying explosion.

　Wittgart broke out in a cold sweat.

　If it weren't for his innate and extremely keen sense of danger, he would probably be lying in the "graveyard" by now if he had taken just one wrong step from the start of the duel.

　At that moment, he suddenly realized that none of the opponents selected as pre-competition contestants should be underestimated.

　That Babaevnidam is both an inventor and a mage; who knows what other unseen techniques he might possess.

　"Quick action, quick reaction!"

　The idea that had been brewing since the beginning resurfaced in my mind this time. However, behind the same idea lay different reasons.

　Wittgold braced himself against "Zoffy, the Holy Sword of Light" with his shoulder, and while the aftershocks of the explosion were still lingering, he immediately drew a card from his hand and summoned it with a shout.

　"In the name of Vithogd, a magical summoning—'Labyrinth Wall'." The "Labyrinth Wall" is a rare monster that inhabits dungeons and labyrinths.

　They have the exact same shape as the maze walls. Although they have no offensive capabilities, they can move.

　By moving the "maze wall" appropriately, it can work in conjunction with the dungeon maze to completely trap adventurers inside, preventing them from escaping until they starve to death.

　This is an extremely vicious monster. If adventurers encounter this monster without prior knowledge, they would never imagine that the wall blocking their way is actually a monster!

　"Maze walls" can cause adventurers to get completely lost in maze-like dungeons, never finding an exit, and slowly dying in despair.

　However, if it is transformed into a magical spirit, it becomes an extremely reliable defensive magical spirit.

　Its attack is 0, but its defense is very high and its speed is not slow. It has a special move called "Deception", which makes itself as hard as a real maze wall for a short period of time, making it difficult to break.

　Vitgold summoned the "Labyrinth Wall" solely to temporarily replace the "Sword of Light, Zoffy," and block Babayev's sniping.

　As the "maze wall" materialized before him, he immediately raised the "Holy Sword of Light, Zoffy" high and swung it down fiercely towards the opponent! The hundred-meter-long giant sword, formed from gathered light, slammed into the ground in that instant. Although the terrifying explosion had caused extensive damage to the giant sword of light, it was not yet rendered unusable.

　As the smoke cleared, it became clear that Babaevnidam's explosive magic card had been blasted to pieces.

　Witt himself had used this strategy of using magic cards as one-time items before, just like now, when he used the "Holy Sword Spell" to summon "Zoffy, the Holy Sword of Light".

　At that time, he pushed the power of "Holy Court Judgment" to its limit by overdrawing his magic card, and the magic card shattered after one strike.

　He is not using that tactic now. The "Holy Sword of Light Zoffy," which has also transformed into a hundred-meter-long giant sword, has a normal attack power of only about four thousand points, which is half of the previous eight thousand points.

　However, if used normally, he can use "Holy Court Judgment" multiple times to unleash more slashes on the target.

　This is undoubtedly more suitable for the current environment.

　Therefore, after Witt swung his sword, the greatsword of light did not disappear or disintegrate.

　However, the duel did not end despite the loud noise.

　Wittgold used the "labyrinth wall" as a shield, trying his best to find Babayevnidam's figure in the smoke and dust, preparing to strike him with a second sword as soon as he found him.

　However, before he could find Babayevnidam, he suddenly heard a buzzing sound coming from above.

　He looked up abruptly and was astonished to see Babayevnidam flying in the sky.

　Babaevnidam has a beetle-like mechanical magical spirit attached to its back.

　A propeller sprouted from the top of the magical sprite's head, spinning rapidly like a "bamboo dragonfly".

　And that mechanical magical elf actually flew into the air using just that propeller.

　Babaevneddam was captured by such a magical sprite and taken high into the air; his safety was completely at risk.

　But he not only dodged the giant sword of light, but also got close enough to be right above Witt's head.

　Then, he drew the newly added magic card from the Duel Disk and performed a summoning!

　After activating the summon, Babaevnidam held the magic card between his two fingers and then shot it at Vitgot on the ground.

　The magic card spun through the air as it fell, its blazing magic circle lighting up while it was still in mid-air.

　What emerged was not a bomb, but a three-star magical spirit.

　The three-star magical sprite, once materialized, pounced on Vithogd.

　Vitgold's heart sank, and he hurriedly called out "Maze Wall." But although the "Maze Wall" was extremely strong in defense, it only had one side, was square, and could not block attacks directly above it at all.

　Babaev-Nedam's magical spirits immediately pounced on him. Witgold gripped the "Holy Sword of Light, Zoffy," a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. He completely ignored the magical spirits summoned by Babaev-Nedam and swung the "Holy Sword of Light, Zoffy" back, the massive lightsaber mercilessly slashing towards Babaev-Nedam.

　But Babayevnidam was extremely agile in the air. The mechanical beetle attached to his back suddenly flashed and instantly teleported away!

　"Steel and Psychic type magical spirits!"

　At that moment, Vitgold finally understood how Babayevnedim had escaped the holy sword's strike.

　He wielded the "Holy Sword of Light" Zoffy in two, and even after missing his target, he swept across the arena again with an aura that seemed intent on leveling the entire dueling ground.

　—The duel arena is only so big; as long as we sweep it all over, we can always find the target hiding there.

　But if he were to do that, the "Holy Sword" in his hand would no longer be able to unleash the "Holy Court Judgment" in this duel.

　By now, the opponent's tactical style has been largely revealed.

　Babayev-Nedam's tactics were essentially a kite-flying strategy focused on long-range attacks.

　As for Wittgold... he doesn't really have any tactics!

　Without the "Holy Court Judgment," it would be even more difficult for him to attack Babayevnidam.

　Thinking this, Vithogd leaped back, dodging the attack of the three-star magic sprite.

　He then swiftly moved to the other side of the "maze wall," and the "Holy Sword" in his hand fell to the ground. This time, he easily shattered the three-star magical spirit into pieces!

　However, the next moment, Witgold heard a "whoosh" sound in his ear. He subconsciously turned his head and a bullet grazed his face and entered the "maze wall".

　He was greatly alarmed and quickly turned back to the other side of the "maze wall," then drew a magic card from the duel disk to summon it.

　In short, first summon another three-star magic spirit.

　Wittgold's mind raced; the difficulty in dealing with Babayevnedim lay in the beetle that could teleport instantly.

　However, "Instant Teleport" also has a cooldown. As long as you seize the right opportunity and lure him to use "Instant Teleport" first, you can kill him with the Greatsword of Light!

　"In the name of Witgold, I summon the Blood Demon Worm!" A quick victory is not an option, so Witgold begins to change tactics.

　After summoning the "Blood Demon Worm," he ordered it to burrow into the "maze wall" and begin building its nest.

　"Blood Demon Worm" is a type of worm that can parasitize living organisms or magical creations.

　The "Maze Wall" is both a living organism and a magical creation. The "Blood Demon Worms" burrow into the "Maze Wall" and begin to hatch their eggs. The seemingly indestructible "Maze Wall" is corroded from the inside out, and the number of "Blood Demon Worms" begins to increase.

　Those smaller "Blood Demon Worms" can all be used as sacrifices. If he can draw that Magic Spirit Card, the value of the "Blood Demon Worms" will become even greater.

　In the blink of an eye, the turn switched again. Vitgot manually drew a card and was immediately overjoyed. He had successfully drawn the Magical Spirit card—"Blood Demon"! "Blood Demon" is a superior version of "Blood Demon Insect".

　By offering the "Blood Demon Worm" and some of its eggs as sacrifices, you can Special Summon "Blood Demon".

　"Blood Demon" is not a six-star, but a seven-star magical spirit! Although there is only one star difference between seven-star and six-star, it is the difference between the third tier and the second tier.

　After summoning the Blood Demon, Witt immediately shouted, "Blood Demon, use Blood Cleave on that goblin!"

　"Blood Rift" is a special move that can be used remotely. Its essence is a curse, which is triggered by placing a curse mark on the target.

　Those afflicted with the "Blood Rift" curse bleed profusely as they move, much like they are menstruating.

　—But spatial transfer does not count as movement.

　Even so, it was still tantamount to putting shackles on Babayev's feet.

　Unless he happens to have a means to break the curse. And clearly, Babayevnidam does not.

　However, after confirming the effects of "Blood Rift", Babayevnidam was not in a hurry at all.

　Because he had no intention of moving himself, and riding in a vehicle would not trigger the "Blood Rift" curse.
