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

　Sarah suddenly covered her ears, almost thinking it was a sonic attack from the "Treasure Toad".

　But that wasn't the case.

　She suddenly saw the "Treasure Toad" swell up in that instant, its already enormous body growing even larger, turning into the size of a small mountain in the blink of an eye.

　Then, the figure of the "Treasure Toad" suddenly vanished.

　Sarah looked up abruptly and saw a huge black shadow chasing down from the sky.

　Ultimate move – "Mount Tai Pressing Down"!

　"Mermaid, whirlwind!"

　Sarah's expression changed, and she suddenly shouted!

　This attack from the "Treasure Toad" was completely different. Its aura alone exuded an astonishing power.

　The suddenly enlarged giant body crashed down like a mountain. Even if it couldn't crush "Kuroki Mermaid", it would still pose a deadly threat to her hiding behind "Kuroki Mermaid".

　By then, even if the "treasure trap" and the "demon that has lost its treasure" are triggered, it will be meaningless.

　Fortunately, "Kuroki Mermaid's" "Deep Sea Whirlpool" is ready to unleash its power.

　Sarah gave the order, and the "Rotten Wood Mermaid" immediately manipulated the whirlpool of seawater above her head to head straight for the "Treasure Toad".

　"Wow!"

　The "Treasure Toad" seemed to have sat down on the water's surface with a loud thud, splashing water everywhere.

　But the next moment it began to rotate with the "deep-sea vortex," the force of its descent was drawn away by the vortex, and its entire body began to spin.

　However, the "Deep Sea Whirlpool" is still too small for the "Treasure Toad's" enormous body and cannot fling it away at all!

　After two probing attacks and one strong offensive, Hadris finally took action.

　Putting aside the two probing attacks, this strong offensive exposed Sara's "outward strength but inner weakness."

　She doesn't seem to have any special means of dealing with attacks; she can only rely on her ultimate move to withstand them.

　With a little calculation, it can be seen that "Kuchiki Mermaid" has only one slot left in her special move bar.

　"Damage reduction passive, wide-area curse, water vortex... there should also be a control skill!"

　Hadris's eyes flashed, and he took off running, wielding the "Fireworks Holy Sword." The beams of the "Fireworks Holy Sword" couldn't harm the "Rotten Wood Mermaid." But while the "Rotten Wood Mermaid" was fighting the "Treasure Toad," he could quickly close the distance and attack Sara herself.

　Considering that "Kuchiki Mermaid" most likely still has one control-type ultimate move left, he cannot get too close. The best way is to use ranged attacks at mid-range to avoid "Kuchiki Mermaid's" obstruction and directly attack Sara herself.

　Hadris had a plan in mind, and his actions became exceptionally decisive. The "Sacred Toad" pattered behind him, not fast, but always keeping up.

　Hadris quickly crossed the halfway line and finally found an angle to attack Sara.

　But Sarah wasn't a puppet; she couldn't just stand still and wait to be attacked. Hadris had barely caught a glimpse of her position when he saw her quickly move away, thus losing his chance to fire the beam.

　After several attempts, Hadlis was almost at the edge of the red team's field, but still couldn't find a shooting opportunity.

　The turn switches at this point.

　The sound of the turn switching ended

　The sound made him feel a slight sense of urgency.

　"boom!"

　The "deep-sea vortex" finally gave way and dissipated.

　The "Treasure Toad" was only flung a short distance before crashing heavily to the ground.

　Hadris's gaze swept over the newly acquired cards, and he suddenly commanded: "Great Tongue Bind!"

　A close-range control-type ultimate move – "Big Tongue Bind"!

　Using "Mount Tai Pressing Down" to get close to the opponent, and then using "Big Tongue Binding" to bind them, can be considered a small combo.

　However, the "Treasure Toad" was too huge, and its tongue was naturally large and thick, making it difficult to catch Sara, who was hiding next to the "Rotten Wood Mermaid".

　Therefore, it could only target the "Rotten Wood Mermaid" herself. And this attack... was undoubtedly a success!

　The final finishing move of "Kuchiki Mermaid" is "Dark Depravity". Ships watched by it in the darkness will have their sailors develop a bloodlust and continue to sink into self-destruction.

　As a finishing move, "Dark Depravity" is a finishing move that can confuse multiple targets, just as Hadris thought, it is indeed a control-type finishing move.

　However, "Darkness" is not easy to unleash; it requires two or more opponents to be effective.

　Now that "Rotten Wood Mermaid" is bound by "Treasure Toad's" tongue, and Hadris himself keeps at a medium distance and doesn't easily get close, "Darkness Fall" is difficult to use.

　Sarah looked at the enormous body of the "Treasure Toad" and suppressed the urge to immediately activate the "Treasure Trap," choosing to retreat at the first opportunity.

　Now her hand has returned to a healthy number of cards, and she has more ways to clear the board.

　In short, we will continue to wait for the right opportunity to act.

　Hadris is a composed person, but his overly prominent "composure" becomes a point that can be exploited.

　As long as Hadris has any "suspicion," there's no need to worry about him suddenly attacking.

　And as long as you make him feel "at ease", you can lure him into a trap.

　Sarah was well aware when she stepped into the dueling arena that this duel was not only a contest of strength, but also a psychological battle.

　She needs to rely on constant psychological warfare to protect herself and find new breakthroughs.

　Voluntarily leaving the "Rotten Wood Mermaid's" territory is a form of strategic maneuvering. "Will Hadris lower his guard because I'm out of protection?" "Or will he become suspicious of my actions?"

　As thoughts raced through Sarah's mind, a magic card on her Duel Disk glowed faintly.

　She was ready.

　However, to avoid arousing excessive suspicion from Hadris, she maintained a necessary level of caution, always keeping "Rotten Wood Mermaid" at the center point, directly opposite Hadris, preventing him from using the (Smoke-Transforming Holy Sword) on her.

　But she couldn't stop the "Treasure Toad" from attacking!

　Sarah's excessive focus on Hadris's behavior caused her to overlook this crucial point.

　The "Treasure Toad" that used "Large Tongue Binding" to restrain "Rotten Wood Mermaid" is not unable to unleash other special moves.

　When she suddenly heard Hadris's command, the "Treasure Toad" opened its mouth toward her—even though its tongue was still wrapped around the "Rotten Wood Mermaid".

　Four of the twelve precious pearls have already been used.

　As the fifth gem disappeared, the "Treasure Toad" spat out a large mouthful of clear, glowing saliva at Sarah.

　The physical training at summer camp showed results, with Sarah managing to escape the saliva-covered area at the last second.

　But after the saliva fell to the ground, it did not disappear on the spot. Instead, it expanded in all directions in an instant, trying to transform this area into a "pool of light".

　White smoke rose from the surface of the "Pool of Light," and the sound of the ground being corroded could be heard all around.

　Sarah's hands tightened, still shaken.

　But since Hadris had already launched his attack, he couldn't leave her any time to relax.

　Because his position was forcibly changed by the "Pool of Light," Hadris successfully confronted it and then raised the "Fireworks Holy Sword" without hesitation.

　"A magnificent display of light and fire, blooming three times!"

　"The Ancient Hand!"

　Sarah suddenly raised her hand, and the "Ancient Hand" covered in colorful paintings instantly burst forth with dazzling brilliance.

　The radiance gathered in his palm, and concentric arrays spread outward, forming a light shield that was less than half a meter long.

　"boom!"

　In that instant, Sarah calculated the location of the ray attack and successfully blocked it with the "Ancient Hand".

　As the energy of the light and fire rays and the light shield gradually dissipated, the light shield eventually became barely visible.

　But they managed to block it in the end.

　In terms of power, the ranged attack of "Fireworks Holy Sword" is far inferior to Witt's "Greatsword of Light, Zoffy". However, its short cooldown is still very annoying.

　However, once you've withstood this attack, you shouldn't have to worry about being attacked again for the next half round.

　Sarah continued to adjust her position while rapidly summoning.

　"In the name of Sarasavati, a magical summoning—[The Lost Sparrow]"

　She successfully seized the three-second gap and summoned a three-star magical spirit.

　"The Lost Sparrow" is a magical spirit the size of an ordinary sparrow. However, it wears a small, exquisite bronze mask on its face, revealing...

　It has eyes and a beak.

　The bronze mask was engraved with strange patterns, exuding an air of mystery.

　It is not an offensive magic spirit, but it has a lot of survival skills.

　"Disappear."

　Sarah raised her hand and said in a deep voice.

　The next moment, she and the "Lost Sparrow" vanished from the spot.

　Hadlisten, who was about to continue his attack, paused for a moment. But that was just a normal reaction to suddenly losing his target. He wasn't helpless against this type of ability.

　One of the gems in the "Treasure Toad" contains the ability to detect and reveal itself.

　Therefore, after a slight pause, he immediately ordered the "Treasure Toad" to use the precious pearl.

　After another croaking sound, the "Treasure Toad" spat out a ball of light towards the sky.

　The ball of light exploded instantly, but without any sound. The white light then scattered in all directions, illuminating the entire area.

　Sarah and the "Lost Sparrow" did not appear in the light.

　But on a certain spot on the ground, dim points of light appeared.

　This means that the "Lost Sparrow's" ultimate skill mechanism is not "invisible." However, the "Treasure Toad's" orb skill still managed to locate them.

　"Treasure Toad, Holy Cross Judgment!"

　To match this, the "Treasure Toad" used the seventh treasure!

　It suddenly turned its head and stared at the location of the dim light, and then a cross symbol appeared in its large, bell-shaped eyes.

　That's a "Holy Cross," but it looks more like a "sight"!

　The "Treasure Toad" locked onto the coordinates of Sarah and the "Lost Sparrow" using the "crosshairs" of its eyes. A sharp point suddenly appeared between its eyebrows, which then quickly took shape and transformed into a longsword of light.

　At the same time, Hadris decisively activated a magic card in his hand and quickly summoned a monster.

　"In the name of Hades Whit, a magical summoning—'The Hunting Eagle'!"

　A light-attribute bird-beast type, a three-star magical spirit—"Hunting Eagle"! "Hunting Eagle" itself possesses much higher attack and speed than magical spirits of the same level.

　The ultimate skill, "Until Death," allows it to lock onto a target's location until the target is completely dead, preventing the target from escaping.

　The second ultimate skill, "Hunting the Horde," grants the user a continuous boost to attack and speed when attacking the horde to which the killed unit belongs.

　The attack and speed stacking cap of "Hunting the Clan" is incredibly high. This means that as long as "Hunting Eagle" can kill the first target, it can continue to snowball until the entire target clan is wiped out.

　The combination of "fighting to the death" and "hunting the entire race" transformed the "Hunter Eagle" into an extremely terrifying genocideer in an instant.

　This magical spirit is also the magical spirit that Hadris specifically used to deal with the "cat that returned from the underworld".

　Once the "House and Death Pact" is purified, the "Hunting Eagle" can be used to completely destroy the "Cat Returning from the Underworld".

　But Sarah still hasn't summoned "The Cat Returned from the Underworld," while he has already drawn "The Hunting Eagle"!

　Without hesitation, Hadris made a decisive decision and issued a kill order for "Hunter's Eagle".

　Samsung's magical spirits were not a concern, but the "Treasure Toad" had already launched its "Holy Cross Judgment" attack.

　The newly formed sword of light, guided by the crosshair, transformed into a stream of light and shot out.

　But the dim light that had been locked onto by the "Treasure Toad" suddenly vanished. The longsword of light abruptly twisted, its tip now pointing directly at Hadris himself.

　Hadris's pupils contracted at that moment, immediately realizing that his opponent had used a teleportation-type finishing move, and had even teleported to his vicinity.

　"Bloom! Exquisite Splendor!"

　The thought had barely formed in his mind when Hadris gripped the "Fireworks Holy Sword" and swept it across his surroundings.

　From that "Fireworks Holy Sword," colorful flowers of light and fire burst forth, filling the surrounding area.

　But the assassination attempt did not occur.

　Although Sarah and "Lost Sparrow" teleported onto this path, they did not launch an attack without authorization.
