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

　Faced with this incredibly dire situation, the elven audience could no longer remain calm and began to scream with all their might.

　The orcs refused to back down.

　The crowd outside the venue was buzzing with excitement.

　The duel begins!

Chapter 1188 [60% Off Full Subscription] Rain Elf vs. Eagle King (6k)

　The duel between the two captains began early in the fifth round of this competition.

　Julia Amelia of the Elf Magic Academy carries the last hope of her team, with no way out.

　Eva Hearst of War Totem Academy is also confident of victory. She wants to end this round of the competition herself and kick Elf Magic Academy out of the arena!

　There is no communication, nor is there any need for communication.

　Anyone with eyes could see the antagonism between these two. From their respective perspectives, there was absolutely no room for sentimentality between them. "Domain Deployment!"

　"The field expands!"

　"Rain Fairy" Julia slowly raised her head, her blue eyes seeming to churn like a lake, with magic surging within them.

　The duel area, tinged with a faint blue hue, began to spread from the puddle beneath his feet, instantly engulfing half the arena.

　On the other side, Eva Hearst, the "Eagle-Man Royal Family," smiled and opened her arms, which were as white and tender as lotus roots. Her jet-black wings suddenly spread out from behind her, creating a strong wind as a completely transparent duel field rushed out.

　"boom!"

　The two dueling domains collided at the center line and abruptly merged. The system then connected, a graveyard was generated, and the duel officially began! [Preparation Phase 1]

　Both players place their pre-prepared decks, specifically designed for the opponent, into the Duel Disk slots, where the decks are automatically shuffled.

　Once the shuffle is complete, a notification appears on the Duel Disk, and both Duel Spirits take flight.

　The referee immediately blew his whistle to inquire.

　After both parties nodded simultaneously, he suddenly blew his whistle, and the "preparation phase" entered its second stage.

　Both players draw cards simultaneously.

　The Duel Disk is very sophisticated; any step can be switched from automatic to manual if the player wishes.

　Skilled duelists often have a strong obsession with their initial card draws, and they will deliberately set it to manual to ensure good luck.

　Of course, the actual result will not change, since the outcome of the reshuffling is predetermined.

　Clearly, both Julia and Eva were of this type. They each drew one of their five cards, then reviewed them, each having a clear understanding of their hand.

　At this moment, the clouds moved with the wind, gradually obscuring the autumn sun, and the light inside the venue became much clearer.

　However, that sliver of clarity only lasted until the countdown for "Preparation Phase 2" ended.

　"Tick!"

　"Battle Phase" [30s]

　As a 30-second countdown appeared in the sky above the field, both players moved almost immediately.

　Julia, the "Rain Fairy," stood motionless. But the puddle beneath her feet spread rapidly, threatening to turn the entire area into a watery arena.

　At the same time, dark clouds suddenly appeared above her head, and the air pressure around her dropped rapidly.

　She placed the cards back into the duel disk, pinched one of them with her right hand and pulled it out horizontally, silently chanting a summoning spell.

　In just three seconds, a single raindrop the size of a bean had fallen from the sky, and her first summoning was already complete.

　Julia is not a combat-type elf. Although she possesses the agility of a typical elf, and can glide across water-based terrain with the aid of water elemental abilities to increase her speed, she lacks corresponding muscular strength, and her weapon usage is limited to bows and crossbows.

　She is a standard magic-based class, possessing the rain-summoning talent that is rare among "rain elves" for hundreds of years, and her ability to manipulate elements is outstanding.

　She can even cast low-level water magic spells like water balls and water guns instantly without chanting.

　It can also greatly enhance high-level water magic.

　A similar archmage exists within St. Marian Academy; her name is Winnie Skadi!

　Winnie, now in fifth grade, has already made significant progress in her studies, while Julia is still in the shaping stage.

　However, this does not mean that she is not strong enough.

　At least during her third year, her strength was overwhelming! "Come forth, Elemental Lake Dragon!"

　With a soft murmur, ripples of water spread out in front of her body, and then a lake dragon resembling a Johnny's sea monster leaped out from it. The "Elemental Lake Dragon" was translucent and composed of water elements, and at its heart, a core that shone with blue light—the "Water Elemental Heart" of the "Elemental Lake Dragon"!

　Elemental species possessing "Eye of the Element" or "Heart of the Element" can be specially summoned in environments with extremely high concentrations of the corresponding element without the need for sacrifices.

　The higher the star rating, the stronger the magical spirit, and the higher the requirement for elemental concentration.

　Julia is still in the growth stage, and the water elemental magic spirits she can specially summon are currently limited to six stars.

　Of course, the core of her deck is not just six-star cards.

　After successfully materializing, the "Elemental Lake Dragon" triggered the "Heart of Water Element," frantically absorbing the increasingly dense water element around it like a vortex.

　Its original size of two meters grew rapidly as it absorbed water elements.

　Julia stood behind the "Elemental Lake Dragon," squinting at the opposite side.

　"Eagle-woman royalty" Eva Hearst had already taken to mid-air. Even though the surrounding air was rapidly becoming humid, not a single drop of water touched her wings.

　As a member of the royal family among the eagle-men, Eva Hearst, who has Behemoth blood, naturally possesses special powers that ordinary eagle-men do not have.

　She can form an "absolute clean zone" about one millimeter thick around her body.

　This "absolute clean zone" is not an absolutely insurmountable area; it is more like a filter that can filter out all substances that are harmful to Eva Hearst.

　This naturally includes water elements with excessively high concentrations.

　Evahurst grew up in an extremely clean environment and has a hidden germaphobia. However, in the orc territory, she can only try her best to suppress her germaphobia and mingle with her sweaty orc companions.

　Fortunately, her "absolute clean zone" can even filter out body odor.

　The first thing Evahurst summoned while flying in mid-air was not a magical spirit, but a "magic card" - "Wind King Barrier"!

　She inserted the magic card into the ravine and held it tightly, and a spherical barrier suddenly expanded, completely enveloping her within it.

　The surface of the barrier was covered with swirling wind blades, and there was also a layer of wind wall inside, making it a wind-attribute barrier that combined both offensive and defensive capabilities.

　With the combined effects of "Wind King Barrier" and "Absolute Purification Domain", Evahurst can defend against almost all types of damage.

　However, the first thing she did this time was to summon the "Wind King Barrier" not for defense, but to isolate the effects of the "rainy weather"!

　Eva Hearst's talent for rainmaking is an open secret, so she certainly can't afford not to take countermeasures.

　Besides this "Wind King Barrier," she has quite a few magic cards that can block rainy weather, but she hasn't drawn them yet.

　Before we get into the details, Evahurst finally began summoning her first magical spirit after she summoned the "Wind King Barrier".

　Unlike Julia, she is a dual cultivator, possessing both magical and physical abilities, and excelling in both.

　Her ability to manipulate wind elements is unmatched among eagles of her age.

　This allows her to fly at peak speed, and if she continues to grow, she will surely become the "King of the Skies".

　Her most favored weapons, like Julia's, are bows and crossbows! At this moment, the "Wind King Barrier" was surrounded by water elements. Evahurst did not have a six-star magical spirit that she could directly summon, so she summoned a three-star magical spirit in a very ordinary way.

　But that was a rare magical spirit called "Wind Shadow".

　"Wind Shadow" is a flying-type elemental creature. It has almost no physical form and is a magical spirit that is like a shadow.

　Its core finishing move is "Shadow Squad," which can summon twelve identical "Kaze Shadow Clones" in an instant. These twelve "Kaze Shadow Clones" do not possess offensive or defensive capabilities, but they can move just like the [Kaze Shadow] itself.

　Combined with "Kazekage's" other ultimate move, "Shadow Imprint," all "Kazekage" can be transformed into the appearance of the "Shadow Imprint" target.

　However, it's just an appearance.

　It will not replicate any attributes or special moves.

　However, "Wind Shadow" also has a special move called "Phantom Shift," which allows him to instantly swap positions with any "Wind Shadow Clone" or clone target.

　This is Eva Hester's signature magical sprite, its main feature being a clone or illusion.

　"Wind Shadow" can even replicate "Wind King Barrier," which is difficult to detect without touching it.

　With "Wind Shadow" by her side, Evahurst seemed to be leading a formation, flapping her wings and swooping down towards the opposite side.

　In close combat, she has an absolute advantage, and there's no reason not to make good use of it. As she flew, the "shadow formation" dispersed in all directions, forming an almost straight line across the dueling arena.

　"Crash!"

　The rain poured down, and the water element between heaven and earth became even denser. Julia Amelia's "Elemental Lake Dragon" had transformed into a gigantic lake monster five meters long. Its magic power had increased significantly due to the "Elemental Heart," and the water-based special moves it could unleash had also received a considerable boost in power.

　In addition to the "Elemental Lake Dragon", Julia also manifested a total of four water spears around her.

　The water spear was not a low-level magic she had conjured herself, but an "elemental weapon" she summoned using an "item card".

　"Elemental Weapon" is a type of "Weapon Card". Unlike the Elemental Spear summoned using "Spell Card", it has a relatively long durability. When the durability is reduced to a critical point, it can be thrown and unleash magical power equivalent to that of the Elemental Spear.

　However, once summoned, this "Four Water Element Spears" will have four water element spears, which cannot be controlled by ordinary magical spirits.

　It is only because Julia's water elemental talent is exceptionally high that she can freely control all four spears at will.

　She held two elemental spears upright on either side of her body for protection, and two other elemental spears horizontally on either side of the "Elemental Lake Dragon" for attack.

　However, because Eva Hester created thirteen clones using "Wind Shadow," she had nowhere to attack and therefore did not attack for the time being.

　But it's only temporary.

　As Evahurst charged across the halfway line, she immediately issued a command to the "Elemental Lake Dragon".

　The "Elemental Lake Dragon" roared, and as if time had stopped, the raindrops falling from the sky suddenly froze.

　Then, in an instant, an incredibly powerful elemental surge erupted, and countless raindrops shot out directly forward.

　But Eva's expression remained unchanged, and she simply waved her hand lightly—in the eyes of the audience, a total of fourteen Evas waved their hands at the same time, and in an instant, countless wind blades shot out from the "Wind King Barrier" and rushed towards the raindrops shot by the "Elemental Lake Dragon".

　"Puff puff!"

　The field was suddenly

　A series of clanging sounds, like tattered cotton, were emitted. The wind blades emitted by the "Wind King Barrier" were clearly more powerful. However, there were more raindrops than wind blades, and most of the wind blades were just illusions released by the "Wind Shadow Clone".

　After all the wind blades were neutralized by the raindrops, some of the raindrops that did not hit the wind blades continued to shoot out, piercing through the "wind shadow clones".

　After reducing the number of clones from twelve to seven, only five of the twelve "Wind Shadow Clones" remain. However, adding the original "Wind Shadow" and Eva herself, there are still seven.

　The seven Evas rushed in from the dissipating raindrops and were soon in front of the "Elemental Lake Dragon".

　"shoot!"

　Julia suddenly gave a soft shout, and two elemental spears shot towards two of the Evas.

　"Pfft, pfft."

　After two consecutive sounds, the two Evas vanished into the wind.

　But the lips of the remaining five Evas moved simultaneously, and a magic card on the Duel Disk lit up quickly.

　Julia remained expressionless, yet she was also laying the groundwork. The exchange between the two sides was extremely rapid.

　Eva may seem to have lost, but in reality, everything was within expectations. "Wind Shadow Clone" was originally a finishing move used to close the distance, and now it has achieved its full effect.

　At this point, the two sides were extremely close, which was within the casting range of "Caged Bird"!

　The "Elemental Lake Dragon" used its intelligence to extend its neck and crushed yet another "Wind Shadow Clone" in one bite.

　However, for the "Wind Shadow," who can "teleport," it is impossible for the opponent to attack it or Eva's main body unless all its clones are destroyed.

　With only four Evas remaining, they suddenly stopped, then simultaneously drew their cards and shouted, "Caged Bird!"

　The so-called "Caged Bird" is a "Spell Card" in the Spell Card category, whose biggest drawback is its extremely short casting range.

　Eva successfully released the "Caged Bird," and immediately red-painted pillars descended from the sky, bypassing the "Elemental Lake Dragon" and surrounding Julia.

　But Julia only glanced at him and ignored "The Caged Bird". In that instant, she suddenly pulled out a magic card and pointed it at Eva. Immediately afterward, the water elements in the sky and on the ground surged at the same time, forming a terrifying giant's mouth that bit down on Eva Hearst!

　"boom!"

　The wooden plank on top of "The Bird in the Cage" suddenly descended, aligning with the red pillar and successfully trapping Julia inside.

　Julia's "Water Dragon Bite" technique also bit Eva hard.

　There were four Evas in total, and two of the "Wind Shadow clones" shattered instantly. The "Wind Shadow" main body used its ultimate technique to defend itself, but it was also directly bitten through. In the end, only one Eva remained, flying in the center, being bitten by the giant jaws. Her figure was blurred through the water curtain.
