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

　Anyone with a bit of knowledge could see that although this "Twilight Dragon" was only nine stars, it was a completely different level of magical spirit from the nine-star "Longevity Turtle" catalyzed by the "Old Man Clan"!

　Its body is less than five meters long from head to tail. Its orange-red scales gleam faintly, but its eyes are one black and one white. Its wings are also divided into two types: black with white spots and white with black spots.

　With a slight flap of its wings, it continuously emits black and white halos, its oppressive aura suffocating.

　"The Sky Magic Academy made a good decision by sending her to the starting lineup in the first duel."

　Dark looked away from the "Twilight Dragon," but couldn't help thinking to himself.

　In his view, the "Twilight Dragon" was no less powerful than the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon".

　Faced with a nine-star magical spirit of this strength, an ordinary third-year student would probably be in despair the moment it was summoned.

　But if Pamela's opponent is Witt... if Witt can start with "Holy Sword Curse", then she will be dead within ten seconds of catalyzing "Twilight Dragon".

　This is clearly unreasonable.

　Dark's gaze shifted downwards, landing on Pamela herself. After successfully catalyzing the "Twilight Dragon," Pamela was clearly in a state of brief relaxation.

　Vivian Alvind had been waiting for this moment! "Pfft!"

　A flash of black light appeared instantly.

　Then blood gushed out, staining the dagger red.

　Pamela had just shown a relaxed expression when her eyes suddenly widened and her mouth opened naturally.

　But she didn't scream after feeling the excruciating pain. When she realized she was about to scream, Pamela quickly closed her mouth and clenched her teeth, showing extraordinary self-control.

　Vivian, who was revealed after the "Breaking Stealth Strike", turned her back to Pamela and stabbed "Shadow of the Night" hard into Pamela's vest.

　From back to front, a dagger pierces the heart!

　A smile immediately appeared on Vivian's face. This assassination was flawless.

　She had thought she would be rusty after a year of not practicing. But now it seems that the essence of stealth assassination has been ingrained in her very being.

　Meanwhile, in the Ode family, the Dark Elf matriarch couldn't help but smile, clearly very satisfied with Vivian's performance.

　But the moment her lips curled into a smile, they froze instantly.

　In the projection, Pamela, who had been stabbed through the heart, did not die as expected.

　Her facial muscles were taut to the limit, and her ponytail looked as if it had been dyed with white paint, turning from black to white in an instant.

　Immediately afterwards, a pure white light burst forth from his heart, completely erasing the "piercing" wound that had just been inflicted.

　The "Shadow of the Night" was actually forced out of Pamela's body by that white light.

　Vivian immediately sensed the incredibly pure light attribute power, and couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.

　Light and darkness are mutually antagonistic.

　Dark elves are all purely of the dark attribute.

　The light attribute was so pure that it even made her feel nauseous. "Twilight Dragon!"

　When "Shadow of the Night" was forced to reveal only the tip of her dagger, Pamela, who had been tightly biting her lip, suddenly opened it and shouted, "Use your breath on me!"

　"Roar--"

　The "Twilight Dragon" suddenly turned around and roared loudly.

　Immediately afterwards, it opened its dragon mouth and inhaled sharply at Pamela.

　The elements of light and darkness instantly converged towards the dragon's mouth, intertwining within it to form a sphere of white and black light.

　—The breath of the Twilight Dragon!

　This terrifying dragon breath, capable of purifying all buffs and imbued with a dark curse, is a potentially fatal blow to mortal duelists.

　But Pamela remained calm and faced the breath directly.

　The "Twilight Dragon" is neither afraid of intelligence nor hesitates. Its breath was unleashed in an instant. But Vivian Alvind was not about to sit idly by and wait for her doom.

　Instead of dodging, she gritted her teeth and suddenly poured magic into the "Shadow of the Night" in her hand.

　Her magic is immense and far more active than that of ordinary people. Once out of control, it will "move" violently and then explode.

　Vivian knew very well that she was no match for Pamela, who had summoned the "Twilight Dragon".

　Therefore, this moment is the only and last chance!

　If Pamela cannot be completely defeated at this point, then she will have no chance of winning this duel.

　All she could do was inject magic, continuously injecting magic into Pamela's body!

　That was pure dark magic.

　It should have conflicted with the light-attribute magic released from Pamela's body. But in fact, it didn't.

　The dark magic that Vivian injected into Pamela's body was not only not neutralized by the light magic, but was instead absorbed by Pamela!

　And at the same time.

　The "Breath of the Twilight Dragon" descended from the sky.

　Pamela tilted her head back, her small, cute oval face instantly swallowed by her breath.

　But amidst the black light and flames, one could see her figure with outstretched arms, showing no fear.

　The "breath of the Twilight Dragon" was not harmless to her, but it was clearly within her tolerance range.

　Of course, it's not about just enduring it.

　Pamela unleashed the "Twilight Domain" within her body, and the power of the domain permeated her skin, absorbing the "breath of the Twilight Dragon" into her body as well.

　The breath that did not touch her body surface instead surged towards Vivian behind her!

　"burst!"

　That moment.

　Vivian suddenly roared, a hint of ferocity flashing across her expressionless face.

　St. Marian Academy's summer camp included "death training," which, while not freeing students from their fear of death, did help them adapt to dying in magical duels.

　As the "death training" progressed, one of the characteristics of the "cemetery" was also discovered.

　It's a very friendly protective mechanism that greatly reduces the duelist's "pain of death".

　Even so, not everyone has the courage to face death. At this moment, Vivian displayed a strength completely different from her delicate appearance.

　Both sides are evenly matched in terms of willpower.

　Vivian not only relinquished control of her magic, but even deliberately detonated it! "BOOM!?"

　The explosion rang out at that instant.

　Pamela felt a burning sensation on her back as the dark element she had just absorbed began to surge violently like never before.

　The energy of the "Twilight Dragon's Breath" continued to surge in, instantly intensifying the chaos.

　She was horrified to discover that she had lost control of her dark magic!

　Then, a terrifying explosion erupted from inside and behind him in an instant! Everything happened in a very short time.

　As Vivian unleashed her magic, she was engulfed by the "breath of the Twilight Dragon".

　The surging waves of fire generated by the magical explosion clashed and mixed with the breath, making the explosion's range even wider.

　Pamela's figure also completely disappeared in the explosion.

　The area outside was deathly silent.

　All the spectators held their breath, their eyes glued to the dueling arena.

　This duel was incredibly intense.

　It's like you've just unscrewed the cap of a Coke, ready to eat fries, drink Coke, and watch anime, when your computer explodes.

　Vivian and Pamela disappeared simultaneously, leaving them to await the outcome. On the stage of the St. Marian Academy contestants.

　Dark's expression darkened slightly, and he quickly shifted his gaze from the site of the explosion to the "graveyard" area.

　Vivian has a very strong resistance to her magical explosion. However, she is not completely unharmed. If she were to suffer the "Breath of the Twilight Dragon" at this time, she would have almost no chance of survival.

　However, judging from the current situation, Pamela would also find it difficult to withstand the simultaneous explosion of magic from both inside and outside.

　The outcome of this duel will be determined by "who dies first and who dies last." This result can be determined by observing the "gravesites" of both sides.

　Who enters (the cemetery) first?

　same moment.

　The contestants from Sky Magic Academy also quickly looked towards the "graveyard," their hearts filled with tension.

　As expected of the top student in the second year at St. Mary's Academy, not many people can muster such a determination to "die together".

　But from their perspective, this is certainly not the time for "admiration".

　When Pamela deflected Vivian's dagger backstab and successfully summoned the "Twilight Dragon," they thought they had it in the bag, but they never expected this outcome.

　Pamela, can you handle it...?

　"boom!"

　Amidst the lingering aftershocks, another explosion suddenly rang out.

　Immediately afterwards, a white light shot into the sky, piercing through the smoke like a sword and sweeping across the heavens.

　The smoke dissipated ahead of time, revealing the figures of both sides.

　The "Twilight Dragon" suddenly swooped down, its extremely long tail lashing fiercely at Vivian on the ground.

　Before Vivian, a small, elf-like dark magic sprite spread its arms to protect her, with a shattered shield in front of it.

　Vivian, covered in wounds and in a sorry state, still struggled to stand. Pamela, on the other hand, was enveloped in white light, her external injuries healing rapidly. However, the healing speed of some wounds had noticeably slowed down.

　Even the power of "Twilight Domain" has its limits. Pamela was now completely exhausted. But both fighters were still alive! The duel was not over!

　But it is precisely because it is not over yet that it must be brought to an end.

　Vivian Alvind raised her right hand, her palm gleaming with magical light, and before the "Twilight Dragon" could lash out with its tail, she once again unleashed her own magical power!

　"BOOM!" A second explosion!

　This explosion was just as powerful as the last one, only lacking the "Breath of the Twilight Dragon".

　The dragon's tail was blasted away by the explosion. Vivian withstood the magical blast once again, but her injuries worsened.

　Pamela's face finally changed color before the explosive heatwave, turning pale.

　But the "Twilight Dragon" had already swooped down, sweeping her behind it. The vast majority of the magic Vivian unleashed struck the "Twilight Dragon."

　Although the explosion was powerful, it was not enough to destroy the nine-star magic spirit.

　"BOOM!"

　The third explosion!

　Amidst the roar of the explosion, the furious cry of the "Twilight Dragon" echoed. Both figures were once again engulfed by the blast.

　The "battle phase" has already switched.

　But neither Vivian nor Pamela summoned again. "BOOM!"

　Fourth explosion!

　This time, the area affected by the explosion suddenly expanded several times over. The explosive power was incalculable, but the coverage area was significantly larger. "BOOM!"

　The fifth explosion! The dragon's roar grew louder and louder.

　A burst of pitch-black and pure white magical light shot out rapidly. "BOOM!"

　The sixth explosion!

　Almost half the venue was submerged by the aftershocks of the explosion. The continuous explosions deformed the ground and caused the stadium to shake violently. "BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"

　Apart from the continuous explosions, there was no other sound in the entire venue.

　Until a certain moment, the dragon's mournful cry echoed from the arena.

　White light finally shone from the "cemetery" located at the edge of the site. Only then did the deafening, terrifying explosion finally subside.

　The referee, sweating profusely, stared intently at the field, unable to determine whether the creature that entered the "graveyard" was a player or a magical spirit.

　Only when a human figure appeared within the white light did the referee immediately blow the whistle. "Whoosh—"
