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

　Therefore, when the "Despicable Outsider" tried to use the same trick again, Hadris, who was swinging his sword at the front again, suddenly swept his leg backward. Just as the "Despicable Outsider" teleported over, he swept his leg over like a giant axe, sending him flying in the middle!

　The "despicable outsider" had weak defenses and little magic power; this kick cracked the ground, almost instantly killing it.

　"The Holy Toad!"

　Hadris suddenly shouted.

　The three-star "Sacred Toad" pounced and delivered the final, fatal blow to the "despicable outsider".

　Immediately—Deathrattle is triggered!

　The "despicable outsider" activated his ultimate move—"spreading rumors and slander"—as he faced death.

　The "Sacred Toad" is plagued by rumors and falsely accused of being an accomplice of outsiders. It no longer receives any buffs from allies, nor can it use buff-type special moves on allies.

　In short, it's about "switching the roles of friend and foe".

　Magical spirits that lack intelligence will regard them as enemies and may even attack them on their own initiative.

　While the duelists themselves will not be greatly affected, they will develop a dislike for it as a result.

　This is the despicable nature of the "despicable outsider"! "Quack!"

　The nearby "Treasure Toad" was clearly affected. It suddenly opened its mouth, and its huge tongue shot out instantly, piercing through the body of the "Sacred Toad" before Hadris could react.

　"Pfft!"

　The "Saint Toad," possessing the ultimate "Holy Mother" technique, died amidst the flowing white liquid.

　Hadris's mind cleared instantly, and a chill ran through him.

　If he himself had just delivered the fatal blow to the "despicable outsider"...

　"Tsk!"

　Behind the "Decadent Mermaid," Sarah's soft whisper, filled with regret, could be heard.

　If Hadris had been hit by the Deathrattle, he could have been isolated in that instant.

　Not only the "Treasure Toad", but also the "Light Candle Beast" and the "Hunting Eagle" will attack him.

　Although the attacks of those magical spirits will likely cease under Hadris's forced command.

　But this action will bring them together in a group.

　At that time, the "Dark Depth" of "Rotten Wood Mermaid" will come into play.

　The effect of "Dark Depravity" is far stronger than "Spreading Rumors and Slander." After all, rumors can be cleared up, but once depravity occurs, there is only falling. Sarah glanced at the "Hunter's Eagle" that was chasing her from a certain direction and suppressed the urge to immediately use "Dark Depravity."

　At this time, the only magical spirit closest to Hadris was the "Treasure Toad".

　The "Light Candle Beast" is not moving fast and is still on the other side of the field.

　While the "Treasure Toad" is affected by "slander and defamation," it's because the "slander and defamation" affects the "Sacred Toad."

　Judging from its successful resistance to the "Lost Sparrow" ultimate move, "Darkness and Depravity" wouldn't be very effective against it.

　If I were to unleash "Darkness of Depth" now, it would simply be a waste of the skill. "Tick-tock!"

　The "Despicable Outsider" ultimately proved its worth, successfully holding Hadris hostage for a full thirty seconds.

　A new round has begun.

　Sarah stared intently at the projection of the newly acquired magic card, and a sudden sense of relief washed over her.

　The two new magic cards I acquired are "The Cat Returned from the Underworld" and "Kraken Colossus"!

　After enduring so much hardship, she has finally found her trump card.

　"In the name of Saraswati, a magical summons—'The Cat Returned from the Underworld'!"

　The light of summoning burst forth instantly.

　A jet-black Sphynx cat suddenly leaped out from it.

　It immediately set its sights on the swooping "Hunting Eagle"! The "Cat Returned from the Underworld" possesses four ultimate moves.

　They are "Return from the Underworld", "Shadow Entanglement", "Shadow Escape" and "Shadow Fang".

　Despite its limited attack power without any enhancements, the unenhanced version of the Nether Cat is only capable of defeating three-star opponents.

　Sarah's tone rose slightly: "Dark Cat, use 'Shadowfang' on it!"

　"feed!"

　The "cat that returned from the underworld" let out a menacing cry. It then lowered its body, and a dark shadow immediately extended rapidly from its feet. The tip of the shadow instantly transformed into a giant maw, which bit down hard on the "hunting eagle" above.

　"The Hunting Path!"

　Hadris's voice rang out clearly at that moment.

　"Hunting Eagle" unleashed its ultimate move (Hunting Path) in that instant.

　Its body blurred for a moment before disappearing into a special path.

　The "Shadow Fang" released by the "Cat Returning from the Underworld" actually passed right through its body.

　The speed of "Hunting Eagle" increased in that instant, and it shot towards "The Cat Returned from the Underworld" like a phantom!

　"feed!"

　The "Hunting Eagle" flew out from the "Hunting Path" and caused great damage to the "Cat Returning from the Underworld".

　But the fearless cat turned around and bit its neck, dragging it down from the sky.

　The two magical spirits immediately began to roll and wrestle on the ground. The Dark Cat was smaller, but it had nimble limbs and even a tail, so it was not at a disadvantage.

　Sarah did not have him use "Shadow Bind," but instead cautiously watched Hadris before launching her next summoning.

　This time, the target of her summoning... is not the "Kraken Colossus". She needs to summon another three-star magical spirit to have enough offerings to summon the "Kraken Colossus".

　On the other hand, Hadris steadily walked towards this side after this round switched.

　He seemed to have drawn the magic card he wanted, and his stroll exuded even more composure. Sarah's thoughts had barely formed when she saw Hadris raise his left hand, which was adorned with the Duel Disk.

　A white light emanated from the Duel Disk, illuminating the path ahead in an instant. Starting from Hadris's feet, the glowing path stretched forward, reaching Sara's feet in a mere blink!

　This road is three meters wide and flat on both sides.

　From Hadris's position to Sara's position, then extending forward and backward, diagonally across the field.

　"What's this"

　Sarah was puzzled when she saw the "Hunting Eagle" and the "Cat Returned from the Underworld" wrestling at the edge of the glowing path.

　Immediately, the two magical sprites crashed into the boundary, and a transparent barrier suddenly appeared, blocking them back.

　This is the "Path of Holy War."

　Hadris then spoke up to explain, "The path of holy war is one of never fighting to the death."

　The road, only three meters wide, limited the movement range of both sides in the jihad.

　This forces the opponent to confront the enemy head-on.

　Warriors who walk the "Path of Holy War" will receive a boost to their willpower, will not be controlled by mental abilities, and will have their damage from mental attacks reduced.

　Warriors with the Light attribute gain increased power when using Light attribute ultimate skills.

　Hadris embarked on the "path of holy war" to reduce Sarah's room for maneuver and force her to confront the enemy head-on.

　Additionally, it's also to prevent the Kraken Colossus's ultimate attack—"Ghost Domination"!

　Hadris was unaware that the Kraken Colossus's "Ghost Domination" only worked on magical spirits of six stars and below.

　The reason he needs to guard against "Ghost Domination" is because he has already drawn "Holy Sword Knight of Light and Fire"!

　Sarah was unaware of the "Path of Holy War's" enhancement effect on willpower. However, from Hadris's demeanor and behavior, she still sensed a bad premonition.

　"In the name of Saraswati—'The Key to the Secret Chamber'!"

　Before she knew it, Sarah had successfully summoned the three-star magical spirit "Key to the Secret Chamber".

　"Key to the Secret Room" is a key-shaped magical spirit. Its core special move is "Unlocking," and it also has three other special moves: "Escape Room," "Key to Puzzle," and "Key to Mystery."

　"Escape Room" is a powerful skill that helps the user escape from a closed room, and can even ignore spatial confinement to a certain extent.

　The "Key to Solving Puzzles" is an active brain that guides the holder to solve puzzles.

　The final "Mysterious Key" is a powerful technique used to break various control spells.

　In short, it's another magical spirit specifically designed for clearing the field.

　Sarah originally summoned it as a sacrifice, but now she is forced to use its ultimate move—"Escape Room."

　But the feedback was that the ultimate move had failed. "Escape Room" couldn't escape from "The Path of Holy War." "Give up!"

　Hadris raised his sword and summoned his sword on the spot.

　"In the name of myself, the Holy War Knight, I hereby offer up the 'Lightbearer' and the 'Hunting Eagle.' Answer my call, descend forth, Holy Sword Knight of Light and Fire!"

　He did indeed begin summoning the "Holy Sword Knight of Light and Fire"! However, due to the unexpected death of the "Holy Toad," he could only use the [Hunting Eagle], which was also of the light element, as a summoning sacrifice.

　The "Hunting Eagle" vanished into light during its battle with the "Cat Returned from the Underworld," while the "Light Candle Beast," located a short distance away, also turned into light.

　Flames and white light intertwined in the air as the Holy Sword Knight, who controlled light and fire, made his appearance in an instant, accompanied by the background music of "Divine Inspiration".

　Sarah was completely unable to stop it during this process.

　She could only rely on Hadris's summoning of the "Knight of Light and Fire" through a star-crossing attack, which proved invalid with Dob L1. [t15]

　Sarah offered it as a sacrifice, along with the "Cat Returned from the Underworld," to summon the six-star "Kraken Colossus."

　But while she struggled so hard to summon the "Kraken Colossus," Hadris had already summoned the nine-star "Holy Sword Knight."

　The gap between the two sides is widening.

　A moment later.

　The cat that "returned from the underworld" was resurrected and appeared at Sarah's ankle.

　In this situation, this three-star ghost cat can only serve as a sacrifice.

　But then the "Knight of Light and Fire" appeared beside Hadris.

　Sarah's eyes flashed, and she suddenly shouted, "Rotten Wood Mermaid - Dark Depravity!"

　The long-planned ultimate move has finally been unleashed.

　The "Rotten Wood Mermaid" suddenly opened her eyes, her pupils swirling with black and blood red. A curtain of darkness descended from the sky, dimming the light on the "Path of Holy War".

　Hadris and the "Holy Knight of Light and Fire" felt a fleeting malice as it gazed upon them. But a flash of white light instantly extinguished that wicked thought.

　Darkness and Decline, ineffective!

　Hadlis didn't give her a chance at all.

　While his journey has not been without flaws, he has avoided many unfavorable factors.

　Seeing that "Darkness and Depravity" was ineffective, Sarah immediately realized that this was an additional effect of "Path of Holy War".

　"Abyss Curse!"

　Since "Darkness and Depravity" is infinite, "Spectral Domination" is unlikely to have any effect.

　Sarah did not choose "Ghost Domination," but instead ordered "Krak Colossus" to immediately unleash "Abyssal Curse"!

　Although "Abyss Curse" is called a curse, it is not a mental attack.

　The eyes of the "Colossus of Clark" suddenly opened, emitting a crimson glow. Black waves surged from the bottom of the colossus, turning the ground covered by the waves into a pitch-black abyss.

　Under Sara's command, the Kraken Colossus unleashed its ultimate attack with all its might. The red light in its eyes grew stronger and stronger, and the black waves surging from its base filled the three-meter-wide road before surging toward Hadris.

　"The rotten mermaid" sways above the black waves.

　Sarah stood on the base of the "Rotten Wood Mermaid".

　The "Cat Returning from the Underworld" climbed to the top of the "Kraken Colossus" and unleashed its ultimate attack, "Shadow Entanglement"!

　The moment its ultimate move was unleashed, countless tentacles sprouted from its shadow beneath its feet, extending towards the ground and spreading forward along the black tide, almost merging with the [Abyss Curse].

　"Holy Light!"

　But Hadris remained calm and composed despite this.

　Clearly, the "Knight of Light and Fire" instilled in him immense confidence. His control over Sara was comprehensive; the "Knight of Light and Fire" was completely unafraid of transformation-type ultimate techniques.

　He raised the "Fireworks Holy Sword".
