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

Chapter 1245 Abyss Shark, Iced Shark Fin (4k)

　A pirate captain wearing a pirate hat and with ghostly flames shooting from his eye sockets.

　Skeleton crew members pieced together from various monster bones.

　As Aurora summoned the "Ice and Fire Oni Warrior," the crew, led by the captain, emerged from all parts of the ghost ship, and a mournful and eerie horn suddenly sounded.

　A grand battle was about to begin!

　"Ice and Fire Oni Warrior" is a dual-wielder with both ice and fire attributes. His ultimate move, "Ice and Fire Seal," leaves either an ice mark or a fire mark on the wound of his opponent every time he hits them.

　When both ice and fire marks appear on a wound at the same time, the marks of these two attributes will merge and explode, causing secondary damage.

　The power of this "Ice and Fire Seal" is not particularly high, but it can penetrate into the target's body and erupt from within, which is basically equivalent to true damage that ignores defense, making it particularly effective against opponents with high defense.

　However, the "Ice and Fire Seal" was basically useless against the skeleton monsters on the ghost ship.

　Because no skeleton can withstand two strikes from the "Ice and Fire Oni Warrior" and survive!

　The flames and ice ripples released from the Ice and Fire Twin Blades alone are enough to burn or freeze an ordinary skeleton sailor to death.

　The elite crew members who charged forward with their weapons raised also could not escape the fate of being cut down with a single blow.

　The only one who required two strikes to kill was the captain of this ghost ship. Although the crew members looked terrifying, in the face of absolute power, only their appearance was terrifying.

　In the blink of an eye, the "Ice and Fire Oni Warrior" had slaughtered all the crew members on the ghost ship.

　The terrifying atmosphere on the ship suddenly vanished. But the dead crew members did not disappear.

　The broken bones were reassembled.

　The scattered skeletons rose again and again. The pirate captain picked up his hat and put it back on his head.

　The ghostly flames in his eye sockets not only did not weaken, but instead became even more intense.

　Although the magnitude may not be that large, Aurora sensed it immediately after her rebirth.

　This pirate captain's strength has increased after dying once! An immortal skeleton.

　Endless attacks.

　Unlimited enhancement.

　The real terror arises gradually from the depths of one's heart.

　Aurora soon discovered that no matter how many skeletons she killed, the ghost ship would not disappear.

　Repeatedly killing the crew on a ghost ship is a completely pointless act. Only by actually sinking the ship can it be made to disappear.

　"In that case, sink it!"

　Aurora gave the order decisively.

　The "Ice and Fire Oni Warrior" finally unleashed its ultimate move, "Oni Dragon Roar," for the first time since being summoned!

　The ice and fire swords crossed to form scissors, and terrifying sword energy coalesced into a dragon's head.

　A roar like a dragon's cry suddenly resounded in the void, and a dragon-shaped shockwave shot out toward the ground!

　The ghost ship's deck was suddenly shattered, but the blade's energy, which had sunk to the bottom, encountered a thick, dark fog and sank into the sea.

　A sinister, terrifying laugh could be faintly heard from all around. Aurora frowned abruptly.

　The simplest way to deal with this ghost ship is actually with a light-attribute purification/dispelling spell.

　Besides, neither ice nor fire can produce an immediate effect.

　However, the ship's energy is conserved.

　As you continuously kill the skeletons on the ship, the skeletons become stronger, while the strength of the ghost ship's hull weakens accordingly.

　A balance must be found to destroy the ghost ship.

　After realizing this, Aurora suddenly found the skeletons on the ship to be getting stronger far too slowly, driving her crazy with their dawdling.

　Her expression calmed down, and while continuing to command the "Ice and Fire Oni Warriors" to kill the skeletons, she began to summon magical spirits to strengthen herself.

　The ghost ship's attack was not fierce, raising questions about its purpose.

　She appears to be trapped in a ghost ship, but in reality, the ghost ship provides her with an environment where she can safely accumulate power.

　Although Leander outside is certainly also gathering strength.

　But in that case, wouldn't the ghost ship only serve the purpose of temporarily separating the two players?

　As she thought about this, Aurora noticed that the captain of the ghost ship was already able to withstand three strikes from the "Ice and Fire Oni Warrior".

　Only when it could withstand the fourth strike from the "Ice and Fire Demon Warrior" did Aurora order the newly summoned nine-star magical spirit, the "Two-Headed Chimera," to unleash its ultimate attack on the ghost ship's hull.

　At this moment, the ghost ship's crew's strength nearly doubled, while the ship's hull weakened accordingly. It could no longer withstand the power of the Nine-Star Magical Spirit's ultimate attack and was instantly destroyed.

　The eerie and terrifying ghost ship, with its endless skeleton crew, was completely destroyed as the ship collapsed.

　Aurora held a defensive magic card, maintaining the necessary caution.

　Sure enough, after she broke through the ghost ship, she fell into a new trap.

　The sky, which had just brightened, suddenly darkened, and the ice beneath our feet had vanished, replaced by the dark, inky sea.

　When Aurora realized what was happening, she found herself inside a giant mouth!

　"Fire Vortex!"

　"Ice Ray!"

　"Ghost Dragon Scissors!" she commanded immediately.

　The two heads of the "Two-Headed Chimera" and the "Ice and Fire Oni Warrior" unleashed their ultimate attack in that instant.

　Killing technique.

　But the darkness remained, and the last ray of light vanished from sight. "Boom!"

　A few moments later, the sounds of ice and fire exploding rang out. The darkness ahead vanished, revealing a giant hole.

　Aurora stepped onto the back of the "two-headed chimera" and flew towards the giant hole.

　But as soon as she accelerated, the surrounding darkness vanished completely.

　Immediately afterwards, a streak of black light suddenly appeared, closing in like an assassin.

　But the "Ice and Fire Oni Warrior" blocked it with a swing of his twin swords.

　That was none other than Leander, clad in fish-scale armor!

　Aurora couldn't help but look puzzled.

　Leander had already transformed into his armored form, his entire body enveloped in armor resembling fish scales, further amplifying his already formidable physical strength. His current aura was in no way inferior to that of a nine-star magical spirit.

　But... is that all there is to it?

　The attack I encountered when I first broke through the ghost ship was quite interesting. But after being broken through by the ultimate move, there was no follow-up.

　That should have been something like a "giant shark bite." However, the expected relentless attacks didn't materialize. Leander's subsequent assassination attempt was also disappointing. Aurora suddenly frowned, her gaze fixed on the void.

　"Water dragon, water cage!"

　Suddenly, Leander roared.

　A deep blue light instantly emanated from its Duel Disk. Immediately, countless water dragons shot out from the "Water World" below, flying towards them.

　The water dragons flew close but did not attack; instead, they quickly transformed into cages. Leander himself retreated rapidly, while Aurora and the "Ice and Fire Oni Warrior" were trapped inside the water cages.

　The next moment, an extremely terrifying power fluctuation came from that void.

　Aurora finally relaxed her brow.

　The real attack was here! "Come forth! Serpent God Child, the Serpent God's protection!"

　The "Snake God Child" materializes instantly and unleashes its ultimate move, "Snake God's Protection."

　An invisible shockwave struck instantly after that, piercing through the water prison and crushing its protection.

　The "Ice and Fire Demon Warrior" unleashes its ultimate attack (Demon Dragon Roar) directly in front of it.

　However, the Demon Dragon Wave formed by the condensation of ice and fire sword energy was instantly dispersed. The "Ice and Fire Demon Warrior" tried to block with his bare body, but was almost instantly killed by the force that was mostly neutralized!

　Aurora stood behind it, releasing her senses.

　Following the lingering scent of the ultimate technique, a transparent object was seen swimming in the air, like a completely invisible shark.

　The shark's presence was so well concealed that Aurora would have been completely unable to detect it had the ice element not been present.

　But now that it has been discovered, its danger level immediately drops by three stars.

　"Snake God Boy, Mi Mi Snake Sound."

　Aurora gave the command in a low voice.

　The "Snake God Child's" snake eyes suddenly narrowed into slits, and a snake's tongue emerged from between his slightly parted lips.

　With a flicker of its tongue, a sound inaudible to ordinary people emanated from its mouth. The transparent shark swimming in the air was immediately disturbed, revealing even more of its breath.

　However, neither it nor Leander exhibited the excessive stress response seen in Disney's Nehm and his magical sprites.

　The "Whispering Serpent Sound" could only function as a distraction. But that was enough for Aurora.

　She drew her bow—the bow in her hand had been changed from the "Ice Serpent Bow" to the "Serpent God Bow," and the ice arrow she fired suddenly transformed into a frost serpent in mid-air, locking onto its target and pursuing it.

　Although it was invisible to the naked eye, it did hit the target.

　Aurora's expression was icy as she rapidly fired arrows, unleashing one icy serpent after another, each aimed at the transparent shark and Leander.

　After that burst of power ended, Leander submerged back into the water, swimming back and forth like a shark, waiting for another opportunity to strike.

　His mood was certainly not good at that moment.

　The "Deep Sea Ghost," released at the cost of sacrificing three "Sea Monsters," had a very limited effect.

　The magic card "Giant Shark's Bite," which requires a considerable amount of preparation time, was also broken. The assassination-type ultimate move attached to the "Fish Scales" armor was blocked by a nine-star magic spirit.

　With three more six-star magical spirits as sacrifices, the six-star magical spirit "Abyss White Shark" summoned by "Abyss Summoning" was also blocked from unleashing its long-prepared ultimate attack.

　At this point, Leander, while not exactly "out of options," had no way to win.

　The scene he envisioned was that "Deep Sea Ghost" would deplete Aurora's power, followed by "Giant Shark's Bite" to further weaken her. His sneak attack would then severely injure Aurora, and "Water Dragon Cage" would bind her. Finally, "Abyssal Destruction Light" would end the match.

　Who knew that "Deep Sea Ghost" was completely useless. "Giant Shark's Bite" did indeed trigger several finishing moves, but his sneak attack was blocked by the magic spirit. Although the final "Abyss Destruction Light" was incredibly powerful, it failed to cause any real damage to Aurora.

　Now, the roles have reversed.

　The serpents formed from the icy arrows reminded him of a duel he had fought in the morning session.

　"Bow, bow, bow, you know how to use a bow!"

　After shattering the two ice serpents, Leander's figure suddenly disappeared, and a thin black line appeared in the air, closing in on his opponent in an instant.

　This time, the "Ice and Fire Oni Warrior" was easily defeated. Leander's water elemental dagger instantly lengthened and stabbed towards Aurora's neck.

　But the latter didn't even need to move. With a flick of his longbow, he deflected the dagger, and his other hand shot out with lightning speed, grabbing the other man's right wrist.

　"caught you!"

　Aurora's eyes widened suddenly, and an endless icy blue surged from her originally red eyes.

　The "Ice Moon Elf" flew out from its hair, and transparent ripples of ice danced in the air.

　Ice rapidly condensed on Leander's wrist, which was gripped by Aurora. His expression changed drastically, and his right hand moved with lightning speed, transforming the dagger into a blade that slashed towards Aurora's left hand.

　But Aurora's right hand was not idle either. She slid the "Serpent God Bow" close to the inside of her left hand and slashed the water elemental dagger in the process. The bowstring turned into a noose and locked Leander's right hand.

　The two sides clashed quickly in this round, and Leander's right hand was bound in the blink of an eye, resulting in a crushing defeat.

　Aurora turned the "Serpent God Bow" clockwise, and the tightened bowstring crushed the frozen ice and seeped into the flesh, revealing bloodstains.

　Her power release continued unabated, and Leander's right arm was completely frozen solid.

　At this point, he was practically powerless, let alone able to break free. All he could do was attack with his left hand and grit his teeth to activate the magic cards in the Duel Disk.

　With a flash of blue light, a magic card was instantly activated.

　The surrounding water elements suddenly gathered at high speed, turning into a huge water sphere that completely surrounded him and Aurora.

　In addition to its protective effect on the outside, this water element sphere also has a binding effect on the inside.

　If the trapped target is an organism that needs to breathe oxygen, it can also suffocate it.

　However, in the current environment, you simply cannot assume how terrifying a person's lung capacity is. Therefore, the effect of "suffocation" is most likely not achieved.
