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

　—Final form "Magma Dragon King"!

　"Roar!"

　The "Magma Dragon King" continued to erupt, spewing pillars of magma from the ground around it, causing the temperature of the area to rise steadily.

　At the same time, Astaroth was closing in.

　It certainly wouldn't choose to get close; after getting a little closer, it immediately picked up the "Golden Salmon" and unleashed its ultimate move—"Hellfire"!

　"boom!"

　The bullets fired from the "Golden Salmon" gun were burning with intense flames, and hidden within them was terrifyingly explosive energy.

　Each bullet of "Hellfire" possesses an attack power of [5500+500+500]. Even the most indestructible dragon scales can be easily torn apart!

　"Lava Armor!"

　Christopher hid behind the "Lava Dragon King" and immediately ordered it to use its ultimate attack.

　However, the use of this ultimate move was still a step too late.

　As the magma from those pillars of magma converged into the body of the "Magma Dragon King," the "Golden Salmon's" bullet pierced through the "Magma Dragon King's" eyeball!

　"boom!"

　The "Magma Dragon King's" left eye was blasted open, and scalding magma flowed out like blood.

　The "Magma Dragon King" immediately let out a shrill roar, and the air was filled with an aura of extreme rage.

　But Astaroth wore a wicked and cunning smile, clearly very satisfied with its accurate shot.

　While being shot in the left eye won't be fatal, it will definitely greatly reduce the "Magma Dragon King's" combat capabilities.

　Without hesitation, it ran towards its left eye, switching its machine gun to rapid-fire mode and unleashing a roar at the "Magma Dragon King".

　The flaming bullets rained down on the already formed "Lava Armor," creating countless bursts of lava.

　The "Lava Dragon King" has a defense of 4500 points. The "Dragon King" aura increases it by 500 points, and the Lava Armor increases it by 1000 points, barely bringing the total to 6000 points.

　Each bullet from "Astaroth" deals 500 points of true damage, plus the 2000 points of damage from the first accurate shot.

　The Lava Dragon King's 5000+500 mana points were quickly reduced to a sliver of health!

　In its rage and fear, it frantically spewed dragon breath, which neutralized the bullet's power and allowed it to survive.

　"Seven shots hit the mark."

　Astaroth raised the machine gun and blew on the scorching muzzle to cool it down.

　It certainly didn't just hit seven times, but only the subsequent seven shots dealt damage. A quick calculation suggests that the "Magma Dragon King" should only have around 500 mana left.

　This means that one more shot, or at most two, would be enough to send it to the graveyard. And even if a nine-star magical spirit with only a sliver of health remained were sacrificed, the success rate would be extremely low.

　It's hard to imagine Christopher taking that risk.

　Or perhaps, he doesn't necessarily have a Nine-Star Magical Spirit card in his hand.

　"Astarmon" quickly calculated and continued its attack on "Magma Dragon King" with swift steps.

　If it's at any cost, it might be able to break through the "Magma Dragon King's" defenses by using a waterfall-like attack and sheer numbers.

　But wouldn't that be incredibly inelegant?

　Besides, surely that "Magma Dragon King" isn't still standing there like a target, is it?

　With only 500 HP left, if we don't use our ultimate move, we won't even have enough mana to use it!

　"Hey bro, it's your turn!"

　"Astaroth" muttered to itself as it rose higher and higher.

　Having barely survived, the "Magma Dragon King" was naturally not going to just stand there and wait to die.

　But it probably never received such hospitality.

　Christopher never expected that the "Magma Dragon King," with a defense of 5500 points, would be almost instantly killed in a single encounter.

　His boiling dragon blood was so frightened that it almost cooled down.

　If it weren't for his quick reaction, if the "Lava Dragon King" had been even a fraction slower in unleashing its dragon breath, his nine-star magical spirit would have been completely destroyed.

　Unlike Garfield and his "Nine Lives Cat," his magical sprites don't have multiple lives; once they die, they're gone.

　But now that we've survived, what good is it?

　If that damned demon species pulls the trigger again, what can the "Magma Dragon King" do to defend itself?

　"Magma Dragon King - 'Throne of Volcanoes'!" Christopher shouted suddenly, quick-witted.

　The "Magma Dragon King" has four special moves: "Molten Breath", "Molten Armor", and "Volcano Throne" in addition to the "Dragon King" aura.

　In other words, he didn't really have any other choice, but he had to pretend to think about it.

　The "Dragon King" aura makes lava-type dragons even stronger, increasing their magic power by 500, attack by 500, and defense by 500.

　"Lava Breath" has an extremely short cooldown, spewing out lava mixed with magma and dragon breath. If it hits, the scalding liquid will stick to the opponent, continuously burning them, and after solidifying, it can also have a binding effect.

　"Lava Armor" is a defensive ultimate skill that not only increases defense by 1000 points, but also grants "Lava Dragon King" the ability to absorb volcanic energy and restore magic power.

　This means that as long as it is inside a volcano, it can obtain a continuous source of magic.

　The "Volcano Throne" is a powerful skill that also has a terrain effect – it can create a volcano terrain!

　While inside the "Volcano Throne," the "Magma Dragon King" will gain a mana regeneration rate of 100 points per second.

　However, the "Volcano Throne" only lasts for five rounds, or 300 seconds.

　During those 300 seconds, the "Magma Dragon King" is theoretically invincible. After all, its mana regeneration rate of 100 points per second is truly terrifying, and it also possesses a high-defense ultimate skill like "Lava Armor," making it difficult for any magical spirit to penetrate its defenses.

　However, this recovery rate is practically nothing compared to the "Astaroth"!

　However, when the "Volcano Throne" rose from the ground, it was able to briefly withstand the barrage of bullets from the "Astaroth." This was extremely crucial for Christopher.

　After issuing the command, he immediately drew a magic card from the Duel Disk and summoned it with focused concentration.

　The bullet attack power of "Astarmon" is only 500 points higher than the existing defense of "Magma Dragon King". As long as this 500-point difference can be made up, "Magma Dragon King" will no longer be afraid of "Astarmon"'s machine gun fire. With the help of "Volcano Throne", it can even slowly restore its magic power.

　Christopher didn't have any magic cards that could allow "Magma Dragon King" to continue stacking defenses. However, he did possess magic cards that could weaken "Astaroth's" power!

　"Boom!"

　After unleashing its "Lava Breath," the "Magma Dragon King" immediately summons the "Volcano Throne."

　Its fury, accompanied by a roar, surged into the sky, the ground beneath its feet cracked layer by layer, magma spewed out, and volcanic rocks rose from the ground, guarding the "Magma Dragon King" like a throne.

　In the blink of an eye, the entire red team's field transformed into a volcanic zone. The "Magma Dragon King" resided within the volcano, rapidly sinking, giving "Astaroth" no chance to continue firing.

　Christopher successfully summoned and activated the magic card in his hand, which was a magic spirit card that was only three stars.

　The functionality of a Magical Spirit Card is not determined by its star rating.

　Even a three-star Magic Spirit card can play a crucial role when needed.

　Christopher's three-star Magical Spirit card is called "Molten Core Dragon," and it belongs to a small dragon species that lives in volcanic areas.

　When cornered, the Molten Core Dragon will ignite its core, self-destructing to injure enemies. Simultaneously, it will trigger a curse of the dead, causing enemies to be constantly engulfed in flames.

　Amidst the burning pain.

　Christopher's "Molten Core Dragon" inherited this characteristic and is his weapon specifically designed to deal with powerful enemies.

　Simply put, it's about weakening the opponent's strength by sacrificing oneself. Of course, there are fundamental principles to follow when sacrificing oneself.

　Most duelists, upon realizing their opponent's intention, would choose to avoid it.

　However, the "Molten Core Dragon" of Samsung alone cannot cause much interference to powerful enemies, and the powerful magic spirit can completely ignore it.

　However, if the opponent uses a ranged attack mode, the "Molten Core Dragon" can jump up and actively take the attack.

　To prevent Dark from discovering this, Christopher directly materialized it inside the crater of the "Volcano Throne".

　Then he drew out another magic card and, when the cooldown was up, frantically poured in magic power.

　That's a magic card, belonging to the category of dragon language magic!

　Christopher's counterattack quietly unfolded. But Dark was not idle either.

　His opponent is a powerful "Dragonman," and in addition to sending "Astaroth" to launch an attack, he will inevitably need a magical spirit to protect himself.

　At this point, the only option is naturally "Devimon"!

　While the "Magma Dragon King" was enduring a hail of bullets, he had already successfully summoned "Devimon".

　When Christopher summoned "Molten Core Dragon", "Devimon" had already successfully evolved into "LadyDevimon"!

　Even though LadyDevimon simply stood motionless beside him, the presence of the nine-star magical spirit was still so strong that it could not be ignored.

　"Tick!"

　The first round is over.

　The blue team player has summoned two nine-star magical spirits.

　Although the red team also has a nine-star magic spirit, it is in a low-health state.

　Such a high-star disadvantage is extremely rare in duels involving students from the Sky Magic Academy.

　However, this is the true value of being the top student in the third year at St. Marian Academy. Those who have never witnessed his duels...

　I never imagined that summoning a nine-star magical spirit could be so simple.

　However, the price for summoning two nine-star magical spirits in succession was that Darkdemon only had one magic card left in his hand.

　This means that if the opponent catches him off guard and kills both of his nine-star magical spirits, Dark will have no choice but to wait for his doom.

　This idea may be naive.

　But after Christopher calmed down, he began to make plans.

　"The Throne of Volcano" is his trump card, and the dragon language magic he is currently casting is extremely powerful.

　With the combined power of these two, he was confident that he could destroy any nine-star magical spirit!

　His original plan was to focus all his efforts on killing "Astaroth".

　However, Astaroth is too agile, and it is difficult to guarantee a hit if you only attack it.

　On the contrary, it's "LadyDevimon" over there...

　Christopher carefully observed Dark's actions. His sudden change of target was also partly an unexpected move.

　He knew something about "LadyDevimon"; it wasn't a defensively specialized magical spirit. If he went all out, he was sure he could kill it.

　Then the "Astaroth" will definitely attack first. At that point, he'll send the "Molten Core Dragon" to its death...

　The plan is clear; victory or defeat hinges on this moment.

　Christopher's eyes flashed with the images of two newly drawn magic cards, and a smile appeared on his face.

　"As expected, destiny is on my side!"

　……

　"Bang! Bang!"

　Astaroth tentatively fired two bullets at the Throne of Volcanoes.

　Both bullets passed through the "Volcano Throne" wall without incident, but clearly did not cause any effective damage to the "Lava Dragon King".

　But Astaroth wasn't annoyed; instead, it laughed: "That's more like it!"

　If you just lie down without even putting up a fight, wouldn't that make you look like a complete coward?

　The feeling of killing a small fish is vastly different from the feeling of killing a shark.

　A fiery glint appeared in Astaroth's eyes as it swiftly ascended the crater of the volcano, stepping through the void.

　Looking down, it saw a churning, boiling pool of lava, with the "Lava Dragon King" submerged in it, only its horns visible.

　Looking at the pair of crimson dragon horns encased in "Lava Armor," Astaromon couldn't help but smile and raised "Golden Salmon" once more.

　How did the mighty Dragon King become an old turtle?
