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

　However, upon actually seeing the "Son of the Hero," only disappointment filled his eyes.

　Don't talk about "growth" or "future".

　We're all third graders, it's not like you're the only one who's growing up.

　But in his disappointment, he soon noticed another person—"the son of the Valkyrie"!

　While at sea, Tim had heard that the "Hero" and the "Valkyrie" were known as the "Kingdom's Twin Swords" in the human kingdom, so the "Hero" and the "Valkyrie" should be evenly matched.

　What about the child of the "Hero" and the child of the "Valkyrie"? And so Timdoris finally discovered her rival.

　After traveling to many places, Timdoris finally found her goal in this "Duel City".

　However, he did not show any particular regard for Dark Dimon, but simply reacted in a similar manner as he would with any other contestant.

　He activated his duel domain from a considerable distance away from Dark!

　That radiance, representing the domain, spread at an extremely rapid speed, heading straight for Dark.

　Carola Maggiore, who was beside him, took two steps back gently while holding the bighead carp, looking adorable and obedient.

　Watching this scene, Dark's thoughts raced through his mind—he did nothing, simply letting Timdoris pull him into the dueling arena.

　Then, he waved to the two people behind him and jumped out of the second-floor window.

　Once on the street, he stood facing Timdoris and summoned his Duel Domain, connecting with her.

　It was only at this moment that Tim suddenly noticed that the edge of the badge on Dark's chest was red!

　The red badge means he has just accepted a challenge from another player and is currently in the protection time for the duel.

　达克

　Seeing his expression change slightly, she smiled and said, "It's alright, let's duel."

　"Okay," Tim replied, but he had already lost half the battle in terms of momentum.

　"That's Timdoris from the Ocean Magic Academy."

　Diana and Aurora walked to the window and looked outside. Diana was very interested.

　Aurora frowned, puzzled, and said, "It seems he initiated the duel."

　She was clearly very surprised by this.

　Diana thought for a moment and said, "Timdoris, did she beat Witt?"

　“Yes,” Aurora said. “He won his duels against Evahurst and Virtgold, so he’s a formidable opponent.”

　Diana glanced at the badge on Tim's chest and said, "Indeed. He won quite a few before he came here. But..."

　Aurora said, "All I can say is that their courage is commendable."

　The duel begins, no reason needed.

　After making slight adjustments to his deck, Dark placed it into the Duel Disk and began shuffling.

　His understanding of Tim Doris was actually quite limited. This was because the player had never lost in previous lower-level competitions, and it was clear that Tim had not gone all out in his duels against "Eagleman Royal" Evahurst and Witgold.

　But we can still glean a lot from those two duels.

　Even without magic cards, Timdoris is an extremely formidable opponent.

　Because of his demonstrated individual combat abilities, he is probably no less capable than Diana and...

　Below Aurora, and he is definitely not a hothouse flower; he probably has quite a lot of practical experience.

　Therefore, when facing such an opponent, one must first be vigilant, and secondly, be quick. One must never be caught off guard by an opening attack, as happened in the previous duel with Grace Leon.

　Grace Leon's initial ambush, unarmed, did not inflict fatal damage.

　But Timdoris has no one to rely on. If you are pierced by her "Siren's Twin Blades", you will be seriously injured even if you don't die.

　Dark quickly thought things through and gradually formed a plan in his mind.

　Then he reached an agreement with Timdoris to quickly skip two phases and enter "Preparation Phase 2" to begin drawing initial cards.

　Thirty-second countdown.

　After each player draws five cards, they quickly consider possible tactics.

　Tim looked at the "Siren's Twin Blades" in his hand, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

　Starting with "Siren's Twin Blades" is a sure sign of victory!

Chapter 1308 Demonstrating Divine Power Amidst a Hail of Bullets (6k)

　Tim Doris's "Siren's Twin Blades" are truly divine weapons, no less impressive than Witt Gold's "Holy Sword".

　In addition to the numerous bonuses it provides to the user, the "Siren Twin Blades" also possess the rare trait "Demon Slayer," which can sever spells and barriers that have physical form.

　Furthermore, even ghosts, spirits, and elemental creatures that are immune to physical attacks can be cut down by the "Siren's Twin Blades".

　Tim Doris, who wields the "Siren's Twin Blades," is known as "unbreakable."

　In addition, there was his innate strength and speed.

　If you can get close to Dark at the very beginning of the duel, you will surely be able to deliver a "fatal blow" to him!

　But Dark had anticipated this. After looking at his five cards, he only hesitated for a moment before placing the magic card "Fairy Puppet" under his finger.

　In past duels, Dark has drawn "Fairy Puppet" many times. However, the number of times "Fairy Puppet" has been triggered is extremely rare.

　This magic card has always served a "preventative" purpose. But since it's for "prevention," it's better not to trigger it at all than to trigger it.

　On the other hand, if you use your starting summoning opportunity on "Fairy Puppet" and it doesn't trigger in the end, wouldn't that be equivalent to giving up a summoning opportunity?

　This actually has a significant impact on the start.

　However, once you're certain that your opponent has the potential to instantly kill you, whether or not to summon "Fairy Puppet" at the start is a decision you'll have to make yourself.

　After a moment's thought, Dark activated the "Fairy Puppet" at the start of the "battle phase"!

　But after activating "Fairy Puppet", he didn't just wait for his opponent to attack. Instead, he quickly drew another magic card and started running around!

　Although his running speed wasn't particularly fast compared to Tim Doris, quickly changing positions could buy him some time.

　These are the most basic countermeasures. And on the other side...

　Tim Doris unmistakably summoned the "Siren's Twin Blades." Even as he summoned them, he had already begun his charge.

　"Mobile Summoning" is an essential skill for mages in actual combat, and Tim Doris is naturally very proficient in it.

　He drew his twin blades as he ran, and waves like the sea surged across the blades, faintly carrying the sound of the surging tide.

　From where he started to how close he got to Dark, it only took a few seconds.

　As Dak began to move, he adjusted the wind direction and suddenly caught up. The sharpness of the "Siren's Twin Blades" was almost instantly close to Dak's neck—like hunting prey!

　But wherever his gaze fell, Dark Dimon's expression remained calm and unwavering, showing no fear despite the knife at his neck.

　A flurry of thoughts flashed through Tim Doris's mind in an instant.

　There were no Magical Spirits summoned near Dark, which means that he did not summon a Magical Spirit card in his starting hand.

　The thought of whether it was a magic card, a cryptic card, or something else flashed through my mind in an instant.

　The next instant, a flash of light erupted!

　The blinding white light that burst forth in that instant even affected the onlookers.

　Not to mention Tim Doris, who was facing the flash of light at extremely close range. He was completely unprepared for this tactic, and the white light entered his eyes without warning. The intense stimulation almost blinded him instantly. However, he possessed extremely rich combat experience and did not lose his senses in the slightest despite the loss of vision.

　The two "Siren Blades" continued to slash down without hesitation, striking continuously along the pre-planned route.

　And then, unsurprisingly, it didn't work out!

　Dark was not someone without any combat experience; he had already prepared to dodge while preparing "Flash" spell.

　He wasn't actually sure if "Flash" would work.

　Even if "Flash" works, it won't stop Tim Doris from wielding "Siren's Twin Blades".

　[Flash] can only disrupt their next wave of attacks.

　But he had to avoid the first wave of attacks before the second wave could begin. Fortunately, he managed to avoid it.

　Moreover, after dodging, he deliberately disrupted his footsteps, confusing Tim Doris's auditory judgment at that moment, making it impossible for her to make a clear decision on the next wave of pursuit.

　This small maneuver bought Dark time to summon. Summoning while moving isn't a particularly difficult technique to master. Dark even summoned silently while moving!

　Then, his first magical spirit materialized beside him. It was a three-star magical spirit—"Juglu!"

　He gave no verbal instructions.

　Dark simply thought about it and transmitted his thoughts to Potpot through the bond.

　Then, the magical spirit immediately used its ultimate move – "Power Sharing"!

　"Power Sharing" is a special move that uses superpowers to add up one's own and the opponent's attacks and then divide them equally.

　The "Pot Pot" has an attack power of 0, so it can basically halve the opponent's attack power.

　Generally speaking, magical spirits do not possess status resistance. Therefore, the effect of "Power Sharing" will be fully utilized.

　However, if the spell is cast on the duelist himself, the duelist will definitely have status resistance, but it varies depending on factors such as the amount of magic power and the strength of his mental strength.

　The Naga race has higher magic resistance and status resistance than ordinary humans.

　Therefore, "power sharing" cannot completely halve Timdoris's power.

　However, there is no problem with the effectiveness of the ultimate move.

　Timdoris seemed to have been put into a "weak" state, and her strength suddenly decreased significantly.

　But at the same time, the commotion caused by the "pot" also pointed him in the right direction.

　Without hesitation, he strode forward, his double blades swirling, unleashing a horizontal slash! The horizontal slash is the move with the largest attack range.

　He lunges forward while slashing, ensuring that his opponent cannot dodge in any of the three directions: left, right, or rear.

　However, he still failed. Because "Potpot" was really short.

　Not only that, Timdoris also kicked "Potpot" in the body, almost causing him to fall flat on his face.

　This scene made Carola Maggiore, watching from the sidelines, blink repeatedly, and then suddenly burst out laughing.

　This was the first time she had ever seen Tim make such a basic mistake, and she couldn't help but laugh.

　But being on the field, Dark had no time to mock Tim. His first and second summoned magic cards so far had no follow-up synergies.

　In other words, it was a magic card released simply to deal with the threat from Timdoris.

　Therefore, he must complete the field setup as soon as possible, and the responsibility for field setup lies with the third magic card.

　"In the name of Darkdemon, Summon Magic!" It was still a silent summoning with movement.

　This time, the creature he summoned was a three-star magical spirit—"Gabumon"!

　Of his starting five cards, besides "Fairy Puppet", "Turbot", and "Gabumon", there is also an "Agumon" and a "Paradise IV".

　Therefore, he actually has a great many choices.

　First, there's either "Gabumon" or "Agumon" plus "Elysium IV".

　Secondly, intentionally take Timdoris's fatal blow to trigger "Fairy Puppet" to summon "Renamon", and then use "Elysium IV" to evolve it.

　However, teleportation can be done without affecting spellcasting, while spatial teleportation cannot.

　Therefore, deliberately taking Timdoris's fatal blow carries far too many risks.

　At this point, he simply chose Gabumon, which had a faster movement speed after evolving from Elysium IV, over Agumon!

　However, summoning Gabumon would inevitably attract Timdoris's pursuit. So he summoned Shuttle first.

　By weakening Timdoris's attack with "Jugu" and attracting her attention, an opportunity can be created for Gabumon to evolve.

　As for Timdoris almost tripping over "Pot Pot", it was purely an unexpected delight.

　The summoning of three magic cards continued uninterrupted.

　As Dark retreated rapidly, he continued to prepare to summon his fourth magic card.

　If he can successfully summon this magic card, his chances of winning this duel will be almost 50% secured.

　Because Timdoris hasn't even started laying the groundwork yet.
