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

　After being released outward, "qi" manifests as light.

　Diana was surrounded by a bright white light, her long silver hair flying backward, and she seemed to transform into a silver cone, shooting towards the "Forest Demon" at that moment.

　She accelerated continuously in the air, and the audience outside the stadium could only see the light but not the shadow, a straight line running through the field.

　"boom!"

　With a loud bang, a huge hole suddenly appeared on the forehead of the "Forest Demon".

　The filth that emerged from it flowed down the tree bark.

　The "Forest Demon," now driven only by madness, suddenly turned around, its two demonic arms elongating as it swung, whipping towards Diana, whose presence was extremely strong, while enveloped in dense black mist.

　"boom!"

　This time, Diana, having exhausted all her strength, did not dodge.

　She took the full force of the demon's arm's blow. The monstrous power pierced through her armor, through the defenses of her "qi," and through her flesh and bones, making her instantly feel the terror of her body falling apart.

　She was struck hard and knocked to the ground, her silver spear rolling away. But after thrashing about on the ground like a fish, Diana stood up again, struggled to pull a piece of candy from her armor and ate it, her internal injuries slightly healed.

　She looked up at the "Forest Demon." The excitement in her eyes could no longer be suppressed. Calmness was a form of restraint.

　But in battle, one must be relentless! "Disarm!"

　Diana suddenly waved her hand, and all her silver armor fell off. She then stood up and drew the long-awaited magic card from her duel disk—"Transformation Charm"!

　"In the name of Diana Gretel, Summon Magic—Transformation Charm"

　She pressed the "Transfiguration Charm" tightly against her chest, and as magic flowed into it, endless light emanated from the card's surface. The light spread throughout her body like a spiderweb.

　Diana's face finally lit up with immense excitement. She had never fought such a monster before.

　It has never happened before, whether in the training grounds, the dungeon, or the dueling arena!

　The monster's basic attributes were far superior to hers. Just one hit and her body was torn apart; she was nearly dead. If she were hit again, she'd probably be lying in a graveyard. Perhaps even when she revived, the monster's attacks wouldn't stop.

　That is a danger that can truly endanger life.

　But I have to say, this feeling was so exhilarating it made my whole body tremble! Diana started shaking all over!

　"Fairy Transformation" was still not removed. Because her "Transformation Spell" transforms her into a bear! The strongest and fiercest demonic giant bear among ordinary animals! Being given the name "demon" speaks volumes about its ferocity.

　Once fully grown, the Demon Bear will be no less than five meters long, and the larger ones usually exceed eight meters.

　Diana's transformed demonic bear was well over eight meters tall, standing up to be over ten meters high, making it hard to believe that it was just an ordinary animal!

　But this is the Demon Bear! The legendary, ferocious bear!

　However, she is still in her "fairy transformation" state, which is compatible with her "bear transformation". Her size will shrink and her appearance will become closer to that of a "fairy tale".

　But even so.

　Even after Diana completes her transformation, she remains six meters tall. Moreover, she now stands completely upright, walks on two legs, and her appearance and physique are entirely different from ordinary bears.

　This is "Bear and Fairy," a result that combines "fairy transformation" and "bear transformation."

　Diana glanced at the Duel Disk, which had been hidden under her fur after her transformation, and felt the "ki" and "magic" still flowing within her. Her smile widened on her round bear face.

　After using the "Transformation Charm" to transform into an ordinary animal, you cannot use magic, at least not while in the transformed state, and you cannot summon or activate magic cards.

　But after incorporating "Fairy Transformation," everything changed. She could be said to have experienced the "Advanced Transformation Spell" ahead of time by taking advantage of the "Little Bear Fairy's" ultimate move.

　"Then..." "It's time to go!"

　The dragonfly's wings, which grew larger as its body expanded, vibrated the moment the giant bear charged out.

　At this moment, it served to accelerate progress. Diana, after transforming into a bear, was no longer insignificant.

　After a brief acceleration, she suddenly leaped up, her right claw clenched into a fist, her entire body forming an arc in the air, and the huge demonic bear fist slammed into the "Forest Demon's" forehead like a drumbeat.

　"BOOM!"

　His forehead, which already had a large hole pierced through by the spear, shattered completely after being hit by this punch.

　But Diana did not linger in the fight. Instead, she used the recoil to retreat suddenly, thus avoiding the attack from the two ghost arms.

　She landed on the ground, slid backward a short distance, and then, with a thought, silently recited the normal summoning spell.

　"In the name of Diana Gretebelle, a magical summoning—'The Power of the Bear'!"

　"The Power of the Bear!"

　This magic card was created by Diana a long time ago.

　It can grant bear-type magical spirits an additional attack of "Star Rating x300".

　The higher the star rating of the bear magic spirit, the greater the attack bonus it receives. However, when used on the mage himself... it only takes effect when the mage transforms into a "bear".

　Its effect, as its card name suggests, grants the Archmage himself more "Bear Power"!

　The power count is rather ambiguous, varying almost every time, but the increase is definitely not weak.

　Diana finally gained the "power of the bear," and her muscles bulged instantly. Especially her shoulders and arms, which swelled up considerably.

　She felt her power had finally reached its theoretical peak. Overwhelmed with excitement, she roared fiercely at the "Forest Demon".

　The roar was powerful and, combined with her "giant bear momentum," released a terrifying pressure.

　A few tree spirits that managed to survive were immediately pinned to the ground, unable to move.

　"howl--"

　As if to fight back, the "Forest Demon" also let out a howl. Diana charged towards the "Forest Demon" like a chariot. The "Forest Demon" swung its arms, rapidly bombarding the open space in front of it. But Diana, transformed into a "Demon Bear," moved with incredible speed, dodging all the attacks with unbelievable agility.

　As she approached the "Forest Demon," she leaped into the air and slammed her back into the tree trunk.

　The forest demon, over twenty meters tall, was nearly snapped in half by the impact. A horizontal crack appeared on its trunk, and its entire body fell backward.

　Despite having eight enormous legs, it was still unable to support its body.

　"Boom!"

　The "Forest Demon" collapsed, half of its body extending beyond the boundary. Diana shouted excitedly, and this time she didn't back away, but instead rode directly onto the "Forest Demon's" body, her two bear claws forming giant fists, pounding the tree trunk again and again.

　"Bang bang bang!"

　The sound of hammering metal echoed from the field.

　The hard bark of the "Forest Demon" was smashed and scattered, and the tissue beneath the bark was also shattered inch by inch.

　It opened its huge mouth, and the howl it emitted sounded hollow.

　Those eight giant feet instinctively burrowed into the ground, and tree roots spread towards the red team's territory.

　In the collapsed forest area, the last trace of green is rapidly disappearing.

　The "Forest Demon" frantically absorbed the grass-type elements, barely withstanding Diana's bombardment.

　When it stabilized, two points of deep red light suddenly shone from the depths of its perpetually open maw.

　An indescribable malice suddenly erupted at that moment.

　Diana felt a chill run down her spine in that instant, as if her body and soul were sending her a warning.

　It forcibly stopped its right fist, which was hurtling towards the "Forest Demon" with inertia, and its whole body suddenly leaned backward without warning.

　By the slightest margin, a pitch-black creature with deep red eyes burst forth from the "Forest Demon's" gaping maw, almost grazing the demon bear's cheek as it soared into the sky. The filth in the sky immediately surged towards that creature, merging with it to form a gigantic demonic face.

　The ghost face was exactly the same as the one seen in the previous aerial view of the forest projection.

　That is... ghosts and gods!

　Although it's just a conceptual spirit or deity from a magic card game.

　But the malice emanating from it far surpasses that of the "Forest Demon".

　After losing the possession of the spirits, the "Forest Demon" was like a shell that had lost its inner self, constantly ceasing to move and turning into dust in the wind.

　Diana stared intently at the "ghost," the warning in her mind still relentless.

　"God's will" is playing music.

　The audience screamed.

　Inside the circular area of ​​the open-air dueling arena, the professors frowned slightly.

　In a hidden corner of the dueling arena, Sami Tommy, unable to contain himself any longer, burst out from the hidden tree trunk, and all his sense of touch was instantly restored.

　Then, he suddenly sensed the aura of that "ghost and god," and his expression changed drastically.

　Where is the Forest Demon?

　His gaze swept across the area, but he couldn't find a trace of the giant tree.

　The giant bear confronting the "ghost" behaved like a human, clearly not a magical spirit.

　"Transformation Spell"

　Sammy Tommy felt he had grasped the key point.

　His "Forest Demon" did not cause any unnecessary destruction. But it also failed to defeat its opponent. Instead, it caused the "Forest King" to transform into the "Forest Demon," and the conceptual "deity" inexplicably emerged as an independent entity!

　"What exactly happened?"

　Sammy and Tommy were bewildered.

　Although he is usually composed, he is, after all, only a third-grade student in this age group.

　He also feels lost when faced with things he cannot understand.

　At this very moment, however, the same thought kept echoing in Diana's mind.

　How do I kill it?

　Regardless of any ghosts or gods, since it's something that flew out from among magical spirits, there must be a way to kill it.

　However, the body of that "ghost" looks like a spirit, and it probably has the ability to resist physical attacks.

　This type of enemy is the type she hates the most.

　Diana reached down and pried a piece of gravel from the ground, then suddenly threw it with all her might.

　"boom!"

　It didn't even pass through that "ghost"! At this moment, Diana regained her confidence.

　She instinctively reached for her left arm, only to find nothing. She quickly chanted a summoning incantation, directly summoning and activating a magic card from her Duel Disk.

　Don't touch dirty things.

　Diana still possesses this awareness. Therefore, what she summons now is a "weapon card"!

　Weapon cards come in both fixed and variable sizes, depending on the user's body type.

　Because Diana can use "Fairy Transformation", the "weapon cards" in her deck are all of the type that can change size according to the user's body size.

　but

　Not all weapons can withstand such a large change in size.

　Just like the other spear she summoned at this moment—"Wrath of the Great Bear"—not only does it require replenishing the missing magic power when summoned, but its own mass also decreases due to becoming too large, making it fragile.

　But these are all minor matters.

　She took the form of a bear fairy, wielding a long spear, and then, using her lower limbs to exert force, aimed at the "ghost" and suddenly leaped up!

　At the same time, the "ghost" swooped down, pouncing down to attack. "Watch out!"

　Diana faintly heard someone calling behind her, but her mental focus was completely on the tip of the spear.

　The energy within her body was gathered at the tip of the spear through "energy gathering." As she hovered in the air using her wings, she shook the spear tip like rain in an instant.

　The white gas shot out rapidly from the spear tip, forming a surface filled with sharp, piercing rays in the air.

　The "ghost" swooped down and crashed right into that surface, leaving it riddled with holes almost instantly.

　Even as his body nearly vanished, the "ghost" still rushed over.

　Its face, riddled with holes, was full of a sinister grin, the corners of its mouth splitting so wide it almost tore the entire ghostly face in two, and faintly, one could hear a sinister and terrifying shriek.

　However, when it actually pounced on her, Diana's expression suddenly became calm.

　The alarm bells in her heart stopped ringing, and there was even a faint sense of "contempt".

　That was the answer her combat instincts told her.

　However, in battle, not all choices can be made based on combat intuition.
