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

　But this time, she did not unleash that sacred and awe-inspiring aura.

　"Tick."

　[Battle Phase (1)] "30s" Both players start simultaneously!

　"In the name of Nono Artemis, I summon the magician—'Nono'!"

　The square, tofu-block-like magical sprite reappeared.

　Surprisingly, its name is simply "Nono"! "In the name of Ersshaker, a magical summoning—'Ground Launcher'!"

　The first thing Ersshaker summoned was a magical sprite that looked like a machine.

　This magical sprite is made of steel and sand, and at first glance it looks like a missile launcher.

　Once it materializes, its underlying layer merges with the ground and becomes completely fixed. From its appearance, it is difficult to tell that it is a living organism.

　But that's the nature of mechanical species.

　Erzsark is a ground and melee specialist, but there's a reason for including this Mech in the deck.

　He reached out his hand towards the top of the "ground launcher," which resembled a gun turret.

　A long earth elemental spear rapidly materialized atop the cannon. Ershaker reached out and grabbed the spear, then... with a perfectly executed stance, tilted his head back and hurled it!

　In that instant, his power exploded to its limit, the spear vanished instantly, and a sonic boom echoed through the air.

　Nono Artemis's "Nono" was pierced right through! After the earth elemental spear pierced through Nono's body, it pinned her to the ground, unable to move.

　The audience outside the stadium immediately gasped in surprise.

　But Ersshaker didn't stop there. Without even summoning a second magic card, he reached out again to grab the air above the "Ground Launcher".

　In about three seconds, the earth elemental spear condensed again.

　Ersshaker tightened his fingers, gripped it tightly, lifted it back, and threw it out again in an almost identical posture!

　"Whoosh—The earth elemental spear disappeared in mid-air and reappeared already deeply embedded in [Nono's] body."

　"Nono" has extremely high defense and can also partially reduce damage.

　These two earth elemental spears easily pierced his defenses, causing his magic power to plummet.

　That was clearly not just the power of the spear itself.

　Ersshaker possessed superhuman strength, his feet could shake the earth, and even ordinary six-star magic elves could not withstand the power of his spear.

　"Nono," being only a three-star magical spirit, can withstand two shots without dying, which is already quite impressive.

　But when Ersshaker picked up his spear again, the situation finally changed.

　Nono Artemis was not surprised by the spear's power; she even smiled disdainfully and lightly flicked her magic card to complete the second summoning.

　Then, "Nono" in front of her suddenly swelled up, rapidly growing from a size of two meters in length, width and height to a super giant tofu block with a side length of ten meters!

　The two earth elemental spears that had pierced Nono's body were forcibly squeezed out as it grew larger.

　Nono Artemis stepped into Nono's body, as if she had entered a jelly. Her whole body floated upwards and in the blink of an eye, she floated to the top of Nono.

　She stood atop Nono's head, and Nono's body naturally transformed at her feet into a hemispherical shield, providing defense from all five directions: up, down, left, right, and front.

　With each step she took, the shield slid forward a short distance, always protecting her.

　This scene may not seem unusual, but it was extremely terrifying in the eyes of a knowledgeable archmage.

　This is because it means that Nono Artemis's control over her magical spirits has become so subtle.

　After all, its magical spirit has no intelligence, and that doesn't fall into the category of a finishing move!

　In fact, those outside the arena didn't even see him giving "Nono" any instructions.

　"call out--"

　Ersshaker's earth elemental spear came flying again.

　But this time, transparent tentacles shot out from the body of the giant "Nono" and accurately knocked down the long spear that had disappeared!

　"Clap!"

　The spear fell to the ground and broke in two. A great uproar ensued.

　But suddenly, cheerful background music filled the arena. Ersshaker's expression changed slightly, and he finally stopped throwing his spear. This action was, in fact, a test.

　But now it seems the other side has indeed "changed to a different person." This kind of account switching behavior is reportable in competitive games!

　He faced the situation squarely in his mind and quickly launched a second summons.

　On the contestant stage of the War Totem Academy, the orcs all looked astonished.

　Even Spiegel was not spared.

　Nono Artemis's change was so drastic that she seemed like a completely different person from the moon elf girl who had previously steadfastly adhered to a defensive strategy.

　Eva Hearst stared intently at the field, a sense of foreboding creeping into her heart.

　In the ensuing duel, her premonition unfortunately came true!

　It's difficult to describe Ersshaker's feelings from an outsider's perspective. The opposing magical spirits were mainly Fairy and Psychic types, and their corresponding spell cards, item cards, and arcane cards were also similar.

　While that attribute is inherently highly variable, Nono Artemis's actions were simply too much!

　It was as if a giant "Nono" had suddenly transformed into an omnipotent magical spirit in her hands.

　She had no communication with those fairy-type and psychic-type magical spirits, yet she could completely control all their abilities and even create a large number of special uses for them.

　It was as if she had integrated all her magical spirits and then controlled them simultaneously with puppet strings.

　Nono Artemis didn't summon any overpowered magic cards. But her abilities as a duelist were absolutely overpowered!

　Not to mention Ersshaker, even the senior players couldn't help but twitch their lips in disbelief as they watched the duel unfold.

　Because many of the actions of Nonothemis were things that even they could not perform.

　Under these circumstances, "Earthshaker" Ersshaker had no choice but to resort to his last resort—flipping the table!

　(`')-l

　He fused with the six-star magical spirit, "Giant Spirit Totem Beast," further enhancing his innate divine power. Then, based on this divine power, he used the "Giant Spirit Totem Beast's" ultimate move, "Earthquake!"

　In an instant, the entire arena trembled violently, and the ground cracked open inch by inch. His body surged with blood-red light, and he raised his right foot, channeling all his power into it, before slamming it down onto the ground!

　The earth trembled, a deafening roar echoed beneath their feet, and the ground suddenly cracked open. Starting from the spot where Ersshaker stood, a terrifying fissure appeared, shooting towards Nonoatmis like a sword.

　However, Nono Artemis still stood on top of the giant "Nono". Ultimate attacks such as "Earthquake" could only impact "Nono" before being absorbed, and had no effect on Nono Artemis herself.

　However, that is precisely why Ersshaker used this ultimate technique! With his power, it was far more than just creating an earthquake and cracks.

　As the audience noticed, the crack beneath the giant "Nono" suddenly widened, forming a terrifying abyss that threatened to swallow "Nono" whole!

　Ersshaker, choose to destroy the field directly!

　However, just as Nono's huge body was about to slide into the abyss, it suddenly transformed, rapidly flattened, and in the blink of an eye, turned into a square, almost covering the entire red side's half of the field.

　And the so-called earth fissures naturally ceased to exist.

　Ersshaker stared at the flattened "Nono," speechless for a long time. Nono Artemis, who had always stood high above, simply smiled coldly and raised his right hand.

　She stretched out her index finger, pointed it to the sky, and then suddenly slashed it down.

　The magical spirits floating around her released a dense beam of light in that instant.

　Relying on the ever-strengthening defenses of the giant "Nono," Nono Artemis had already covered its head with a large number of magical spirits.

　Ersshaker was going all in, hoping to wipe out all these magical elves and turn the tide of battle.

　But it was obvious that he failed.

　In a magical duel, the consequence of defeat is death! Countless beams of light shot out simultaneously, with nothing in front of them able to stop them.

　The magical spirits that Ersshaker had previously summoned were either destroyed or taken away by bulls.

　His own brute force was completely useless in the face of the enormous "Nono" that could absorb physical impact.

　He was already in dire straits.

　This final "earth-shaking" effort failed to work, leaving them with no choice but to await their doom.

　[8k, Bonus Chapter +4k]

Chapter 1191 [Monthly Ticket Bounty] Darkdemon, Enlightenment (8k)

　"Boom!" The explosion was deafening.

　Half of the field was destroyed by the dense beams of light.

　Ers Shaker's figure was completely obliterated in the explosion.

　His consciousness was directly disconnected by the body's protective mechanism, and when he woke up again, he was already standing in the "graveyard".

　"The battle is over."

　"The victor: Nono Artemis!"

　The referee's voice announcing the result was somewhat harsh, but it also allowed Ers Shaker to quickly understand the situation.

　He fell silent immediately.

　For orcs, failure is not a shameful thing, provided that they do not fail at crucial moments.

　Eva Hearst wasn't blamed, simply because she happened to be favored by "Heroic Spirit," thus diverting the players' attention.

　His defeat completely ruined the War Totem Academy's favorable situation, forcing the competition to enter the final "general vs. general" stage.

　He originally entered the duel with the intention of ending the match, and his opponent was just a second-year student who wasn't even a regular player.

　The result, however, was a defeat so ordinary.

　The opponent didn't have any particularly strong Magical Spirit cards. But annoying Magic Cards or Item Cards kept popping up.

　Throughout the entire duel, all his attacks were like hitting a piece of cotton, completely ineffective.

　He had never fought such a agonizing duel. His prized earth-shattering power had nowhere to be used. His final, desperate attack was practically a cathartic release. He suspected he would have choked on it if he hadn't let it all out. As for now…

　Ers Shaker clenched his fists tightly, gritting his teeth. This defeat was now a foregone conclusion.

　But he wasn't without a chance to get his revenge. The Orcs' revenge is never too late.

　He must find a way to break the Moon Elf's tactics before the competition for all grades begins!

　Ers Shakel gave Nono Artemis one last, fierce glare before leaving the dueling arena under the latter's superior gaze.

　This duel, from Nono Artemis's entrance to the final outcome, was something the audience hadn't anticipated.

　Viewers who were initially curious about Nono Artemis's hidden power quickly became her supporters after watching the duel.

　With great curiosity, host Judy invited Nono Artemis to the stage.

　But when she started the interview, she suddenly realized that Nono had changed! It's that simple to go from one person to another.

　Nono transformed back into the shy, timid moon fairy girl she once was.

　On the stage of the Elf Magic Academy contestants.

　After the duel ended, Julia Amelia, the "Rain Sprite," quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

　Sending Nono in place of "Mountain Elf" is a very risky move.

　Because she couldn't be sure whether the "she" inside Nono would come out.

　However, given the current situation, she clearly judged that the "Mountain Spirits" were unlikely to win, so she could only place her bets on Nono.

　Fortunately, Nono did not disappoint her and successfully won the victory.

　As of now, the score between Elf Magic Academy and War Totem Academy is 3-3, with the two sides tied and finally having a chance to decide the winner.

　Thinking of this, Julia couldn't help but look across at the other side.

　On the stage of the War Totem Academy contestants.

　Ers Shaker had already returned to the player's stand, and he couldn't say anything, so he could only remain silent.

　The atmosphere on the contestants' stage was somewhat subdued.

　Competition among orcs is more brutal than among humans, because due to the different sub-species, the relationships between the contestants are not much better.

　Ers Shackler was met with a cold shoulder, which only fueled his thirst for revenge.
