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

　Aurora was not afraid at all; in fact, the water elemental sphere became a medium for transmitting the power of ice.

　Leander quickly realized he had made a foolish move. His gaze pierced through the water sphere and landed on the "Abyssal White Shark." The "Abyssal White Shark" had silently crept up to them during their close-quarters combat.

　But the "sneak attack and counterattack" he had hoped for was impossible from the start.

　The aura of the "Abyssal White Shark" has been locked.

　Aurora stomped her foot slightly, and the two snake heads of the "Two-Headed Chimera" suddenly rose up, spraying flames and ice indiscriminately in all directions.

　The form of the "Abyssal White Shark" was exposed amidst the flames and ice. Even a special six-star summoned by the "Abyss" could not easily overcome the obstruction of a nine-star in such a short time.

　Moreover, this is under the condition that the duelist himself is unable to command.

　Leander's eyes immediately showed despair.

　Aurora had a keen eye for the situation and seized the opportunity the moment it arose.

　The East, giving its opponents no room to maneuver, is particularly known for its "whoosh".

　"The battle is over!"

Chapter 1246 Darkdemon and the Abyss Summoning (4k)

　"The winner is Aurora Montilfali!" The entire stadium erupted in cheers when the referee suddenly announced the result.

　Ocean Magic Academy displayed an unstoppable dominance in the two days of competition, and even before this match began, they had only fielded three main contestants.

　The moment they crushed War Totem Academy to victory, it felt as if there was a catastrophic gap in strength between them and the contestants from all other academies.

　However, when the Ocean Magic Academy entered the finals and clashed with St. Marian Academy, it suffered defeats in both matches!

　The Ocean Magic Academy's strength was like a fleeting dream, easily shattered. If the first duel could be described as "using the weakest shield against the strongest spear," then this second duel was a true clash of titans.

　Leander's imposing presence was no less than that of any other player. He even summoned the powerful "Abyssal White Shark" in a way that most viewers couldn't understand at all.

　The "Abyssal Destruction Light" released by that six-star "Abyssal White Shark" was so powerful that even a nine-star magical spirit couldn't withstand it.

　If his opponent hadn't been Aurora from St. Mary's Academy, that single beam of white light would have been enough to end the match.

　Unfortunately, there are mountains beyond mountains, and skies beyond skies.

　The final result of this duel means that Aurora is the stronger one!

　"Snap!" The ice shattered.

　Leander is reborn in the "cemetery".

　The sharks, having regained consciousness, stood frozen in the "graveyard" for a long time. As the saying goes, the more confident you are before a duel, the more embarrassing your defeat will be. Leander didn't even dare to look up at the Ocean Magic Academy's arena. Aurora was the second strongest performer in the lower grades of St. Marian Academy, second only to Dark in terms of performance.

　But in Leander's eyes, she was no different from the other contestants. Therefore, the idea of ​​"trading pieces" was impossible for her. What the sea creatures needed wasn't a victory obtained through "tricks," but a clean, fair defeat of the opponent's strongest member—a complete victory.

　However, two consecutive defeats at the start were destined to plunge the sea creatures into a predicament. And he, Leander, was one of the culprits responsible for this situation. Thinking of the blame he would face, he suddenly looked up and glared fiercely at Aurora's retreating figure.

　But the latter didn't even bother to turn around and respond.

　For Aurora, this duel was over, and any further interaction between her and Leander was also over. From now on, they were strangers, and there was no need for her to care about his condition.

　As for that little bit of murderous intent... let's just forget about it.

　In short, Aurora was quite happy after winning the duel. And although she didn't see it with her own eyes, she should have made Leander use "Abyssal Summoning," and Dark and the others watching from the sidelines must have obtained some necessary information from it.

　For the rest of the matches, all she needed to do was trust Darko to secure a tiebreaker. In her logic, reaching the tiebreaker was equivalent to winning.

　In other words, when she wins this duel, it means that the lower grades of St. Mary's Academy have won the championship in this round of the competition!

　Of course, she's not the type to pop champagne early. She'll definitely wait until the game is truly over before unleashing her champagne.

　When Aurora stepped onto the stage, she was already thinking about what to have for supper that night.

　The contestants' stage at the Ocean Magic Academy.

　The contestants from the Ocean Magic Academy finally turned serious. Even "Mermaid" Carola Marjorie was no longer joking around. However, Carola showed absolutely no anxiety.

　After all, it's a six-on-six duel, and there are still four more matches to go. If we win all four remaining duels, we can also take the championship.

　Ocean Magic Academy even has the option of losing another match. But the other contestants don't think that way.

　Two consecutive losses have pushed them to their breaking point. "What a bunch of trash!"

　Ryan Jeremiah of the "Shark Tribe" glared fiercely at Rayleigh Zangwell of the "Sea Urchin Tribe".

　His head, which looked remarkably like a toad, swelled up, and his eyes widened even more.

　If Leander hadn't yet returned, he would have had to put on a show of "staring at two people with each eye."

　After the second duel, among the lower grades of the Ocean Magic Academy, the strongest remaining members were "Naga" Tim Doris, "Mermaid" Carola Marjorie, "Sea Clam" Scarlett Bessie, and "Shark" Ryan Jeremiah, as well as "Electric Shell" Lyrella Erekne, who was unlikely to participate.

　After two consecutive losses, all the players except them kept quiet.

　Scarlett was quiet, Carola seemed lost in thought, and Tim watched coldly, leaving Ryan the only one chattering away in the entire contestant station.

　Therefore, when Leander returned to the contestant's platform, he immediately sensed something was wrong and wished he could sit back on the lift platform.

　The relationships between the members of the Sea Clan were originally quite good. However, people who have had it too easy often find it difficult to face failure, so it's not surprising that the team atmosphere collapsed as a result.

　This atmosphere persisted until Aurora's interview session ended and the post-match debriefing began on the field, at which point it eased slightly.

　But this had nothing to do with team atmosphere; it was simply because they all wanted to understand more deeply how Leander had lost.

　A post-match analysis turned into a trial for Leander.

　The contestants' platform at St. Mary's College.

　After their initial surprise, Dark and the others indeed began to discuss "Abyss Summoning".

　Leander only used "Abyss Summoning" once in this duel, and he used three six-star monsters as materials to summon "Abyss White Shark".

　Judging from this result, the magical spirits summoned by the "Abyss Summoning" do not seem to be "random".

　After all, if it were completely random, the probability that Leander of the Shark Clan would summon a Shark-like Abyss Magical Spirit after using Abyss Summoning would still be a Shark.

　They immediately concluded that this was not a coincidence.

　After using "Abyss Summoning," the number of "Abyss" magical spirits that sea creatures can summon should be relatively fixed for each individual, or they can be selected within a certain range.

　As for the other speculation, whether "Abyss Summoning" is limited to 1 time per round or has a long cooldown, we need more demonstrations to know.

　However, the "Abyss" magical spirit summoned by "Abyss Summoning" is indeed incredibly powerful.

　It's definitely worth spending so many materials on "Abyss Summoning".

　The magical spirits of the "Abyss" have that kind of value!

　Under these circumstances, the "Abyss" magical spirits summoned by the "Abyss" can no longer be evaluated using ordinary star ratings.

　The six-star and nine-star ratings here are based on a completely different standard than the normal six-star and nine-star ratings.

　Forcing a magical spirit like "Abyss White Shark" to be considered a six-star will only lead to misjudgment!

　The level of "Abyss" magical spirits should be distinguished from the normal level rating.

　Further analysis of the "Abyss White Shark's" strength reveals that if two nine-star magical spirits were used as materials for the "Abyss Summoning," the resulting "Abyss" magical spirit would likely be an unimaginably terrifying existence!

　"In conclusion, 'Abyss Summoning' is an almost cheat-like ability."

　"Don't be misled by star ratings. At the very least, consider the 'Abyss' magical spirits summoned by 'Abyss Summoning' as existing at a higher tier than those with star ratings."

　"Basically, this is the advantage of 'Abyss Summoning.' Its essence lies in summoning magical spirits through special methods without needing to cultivate higher-level magical spirits."

　"Of course, as things stand, there's a limit to the number of 'Abyss' magical spirits each sea creature can summon at present."

　"I just don't know what the specific restrictions are." "Also, is it possible for people other than sea creatures to learn this skill?"

　At this point, Emma looked up again, her gaze sweeping over her companions. The students from St. Mary's Academy all seemed lost in thought.

　The contestants who were about to take the stage were especially focused on their thoughts. They only stopped thinking and greeted Aurora with smiles when she returned to the contestant's platform.

　Like Diana, Aurora brought valuable victories to the team. These two consecutive wins immediately eased the tension within the team.

　After a brief celebration, they began asking Aurora about her personal experience during the duel.

　Aurora described her personal experiences in great detail, further corroborating Emma's analysis.

　Following the debriefing, the match entered "strategy time." The St. Mary's Academy players did not become complacent despite their two consecutive victories.

　During the "countermeasures time," they continued to think hard about who would be the next player to take the field.

　"Ocean Magic Academy has lost two matches in a row."

　"This is definitely unexpected for them, who have been in a winning position since the start of the competition."

　"They will be impatient and want to turn the tide as soon as possible."

　"Therefore, in the third duel, they will most likely send out a fighter who is much stronger than Leander—if they have one."

　"Based on my personal speculation, it's possible they'll directly deploy 'Naga' Tim."

　Emma analyzed it carefully.

　Before she could finish speaking, Witt said, "If it's Timdoris, then I'll have to give it a try."

　Emma nodded and said, "Putting everything else aside, with Diana and Aurora already on the field, you are indeed the most suitable. However, there is another member of the Sea Clan, who is most likely defensive and will require your Holy Sword to break through her defenses."

　But when it came to Scarlett of the "Sea Clam Clan," Witt shook his head repeatedly: "I'd rather duel Tim."

　Whenever defense is mentioned, he thinks of Tess from the Sky Magic Academy.

　forget it!

　Emma shook her head and said, "Then you'll fight in the third duel. Any objections?"

　Witt naturally had no objections.

　Although Timdoris of the Naga clan displayed terrifying strength in the previous duel that was enough to overwhelm the Eagleman Royal Family.

　But the brave are fearless, and Witt certainly wouldn't be afraid of challenges.

　Moreover, he was very clear that, apart from Dark, no one else had a chance of winning against Tim.

　So, it doesn't matter who goes first, he might as well take on the role. If his opponent in this third duel is indeed Tim, then he'll give it his all, with a 50/50 chance of winning.

　If the opponent in this third duel isn't Tim... that would be even better. Next, the St. Marian Academy contestants discussed further, finalized the roster, and sent Vitte into the arena.

　Soon, the "countermeasures period" came to an end.

　Dark took the strategy card and walked to the strategy table, took out Wittgold's player card and put it into the slot.

　On the other side, Carola Maggiore also drew a player card and placed it in the slot.

　Corolla remained calm and composed, showing no signs of anxiety and even retaining the same enthusiasm he had at the start of the game.

　Who will they send out?

　Dark pondered for a moment, deciding to stick to his strategy.

　After confirming both team captains, Judy activated the player projections. As Vittorio's projection appeared, the audience immediately applauded and cheered.

　As soon as Dakwei focused his mind, he saw that the projection on the other side was none other than "Naga" Timdoris!

　"I actually hit it," Dark thought to himself.

　At the same time, after confirming that his opponent was Tim, Witt immediately felt immense pressure.

　But along with the pressure came a surge of fighting spirit!

　The contestants' stage at the Ocean Magic Academy.

　Tim Doris got up and walked towards the elevator after the projection appeared. As Emma said, his move in this match was indeed aimed at securing a victory.

　But the opponent he originally wanted to face was not Witt, but the captain of St. Marian Academy—Darkimon!

　This analysis is based on the draft picks and bans (BP) of the match between St. Mary's College and the Holy Mystic Academy.

　He judged that St. Marian Academy would likely press their advantage and send their captain directly into the third duel to secure a third crucial victory.

　His decisive action in defeating the captain of St. Mary's Academy will surely turn the tide for his team.

　As for the remaining three contestants from St. Mary's Academy, they are not a threat. In the face of danger, only responsibility matters!

　But his judgment was unsuccessful.

　The contestant sent by St. Marian Academy in the third duel was "Son of the Hero" Vitgot.

　It must be admitted that Vitgot, who was able to defeat the "Holy Son," was indeed quite something.

　However, in Tim's opinion, Witt and "The Holy Son" Evan Pearson are evenly matched in strength, and Eva Hearst, the captain of the War Totem Academy, is also of similar strength.
