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

　But this time, he no longer had a third sword!

　Dark pressed his advantage, unleashing a fourth strike without hesitation. This strike, lacking the "combo attack" bonus, wasn't very powerful. However, it still pierced through Chloe's chest armor, causing blood to splatter.

　Chloe suddenly retreated, choosing to flee at that moment! Although retreat is also a tactic.

　But his escape caused his accumulated momentum to suddenly dissipate.

　The exchange between the two sides in this extremely short period of time was breathtaking. The whole situation had a sense of "unexpected twists and turns".

　No one expected that Darkdemon would be able to defeat Chloe with his own strength. Especially unexpected was that he could control the "Power of the Holy Sword"!

　To this day, the legend that Dark's magical spirits can wield the "Holy Sword" has been accepted by some who know the story.

　However, based on his previous performance, Dark himself was unable to activate the "Power of the Holy Sword".

　"A magical spirit capable of wielding a holy sword" can be a special creation crafted based on the "hero".

　But what about "humans who can wield the Holy Sword"? Darkdemon also possesses "heroic qualities" and is a "hero candidate." No, he is merely the "son of the Valkyrie"!

　Although the Valkyrie rarely uses the Holy Sword in public, legends about her ability to wield it have persisted.

　Many people believe that this legend is based on the understanding that "Valkyrie can use all weapons".

　But looking at it now, that legend is not just a legend.

　As the "son of the Valkyrie," it's not surprising that Darkdemon can wield the "Holy Sword."

　I hadn't used it before simply to conceal my true abilities.

　As these kinds of ideas grew, the audience outside the venue became increasingly excited. Finally, something new was happening!

　Previously, everyone thought that although Darkdemon was very skilled in magic, his lack of combat power still put him at a disadvantage in duels with some duelists.

　But that idea has undoubtedly faded a lot now.

　After all, someone who can fight the "Children of the Night"

　Such a duelist cannot possibly be called "weak."

　But the audience's opinions will not affect the duel.

　After forcing Chloe to retreat, Dark certainly wouldn't press his advantage.

　He knew very well that he simply didn't have that ability.

　The most important thing to do now is to take advantage of the short time Chloe is escaping and immediately perform a sacrifice to summon her!

　Without a second thought, he swiftly drew a Magical Spirit card from the Duel Disk.

　That magical spirit card is, of course, "Coffin of Death"!

　But after drawing the "Coffin of Death," he immediately put it into his sleeve. Then, what he summoned through the sacrifice was "Angemon"!

　"Terrifying!"

　"Eevee!" suddenly raised its head and spat out a ball of light, but it was "Wish" that it released before being used as a sacrifice!

　The moment it released its "wish," it turned into white light and shot straight into the sky.

　"In the name of Darkdemon, I offer 'Dreammon' and 'Eevee!' as sacrifices to summon—'Angemon'!"

　An incomparably sacred aura erupted instantly!

　A holy white light emanated from the sacrificial summoning circle that appeared in the sky.

　Pure white feathers drifted slowly down amidst the white light, and the angel of light, wielding the "Holy Staff," swiftly materialized from the sacrificial summoning.

　That was a light-type magical spirit that was only at maturity, yet gave people an extremely powerful feeling, the purest angel species - "Angemon"!

　Its eyes were covered by an iron helmet, but this did not conceal its handsome features. Its long golden hair shone brightly, and its six wings exuded a sacred aura.

　“Angemon uses Soul Guidance on Impmon in the Graveyard.”

　But when Angemon was finally summoned, Dark immediately issued him a very special command.

　—Let the angels resurrect the demons.

　Angemon was expressionless, but he was meticulous in carrying out his mission.

　With a casual flick of its golden "Holy Staff" towards its own "Graveyard" area, it unleashed the resurrection skill—[Soul Guidance]—which was supposed to be usable only on "friendly magical spirits that died nearby."

　Pure white light illuminates the "cemetery".

　"Devimon" was successfully resurrected under the "soul guidance" of "Angemon".

　— Prior to this, he had died from being digested by the "Shadow Hole" and had regressed from the "Devimon" form back to the "Little Devimon" form.

　However, the new clones created by the "Shadow Hole" are still in the form of "Devimon".

　Of course, the clone did not possess real combat power.

　After Dark revives Angemon by making it revive Impmon, it reaches out and draws a Magic Card that is automatically drawn during turn switching from the Duel Disk.

　This magic card is called "Elysium IV Paradise"!

　This is also why Dark chose to summon "Angemon" instead of "Coffin".

　With "Elysium IV", it's only natural to let "Devimon" evolve into its Ultimate form!

　As he operated the machine, Dak kept a very vigilant eye on the ground.

　After escaping, Chloe used "Shadow Stalking" to disappear into the shadows on the ground.

　All Dark could see were the two short swords that he had knocked away, which suddenly sank into the ground, clearly retrieved by Chloe.

　Having retrieved his weapons, Chloe was ready to fight again, but he did not immediately emerge from the shadows.

　Dark held "Paradise IV" between his two fingers and cast it as soon as the cooldown of his normal summoning spell was over.

　"In the name of Darkdemon, a magical summoning—'Elysium IV'!"

　A golden-pink beam of light poured down instantly, bathing "Devimon" in the light, and its entire form underwent a dramatic transformation in the light of evolution.

　The "Divine Cause" played its music again, and there was a clear phenomenon of the light converging towards the pillar of light.

　In that light of evolution, "Devimon" completed a leapfrog evolution from its Rookie stage to its Ultimate stage.

　The one who stepped out of the pillar of light again was "LadyBeast," exuding a bewitching and sensual aura!

　"hehe."

　A low laugh escaped from LadyDevimon's lips.

　Its eyes opened as it slowly raised its head, their crimson gleaming.

　In stark contrast to Angemon, who wore a pure white outfit, LadyDevimon wore a tight-fitting black leather suit that accentuated her body's curves, making her skin appear even paler and her demeanor even more alluring.

　Beneath that equally black mask were lips as red as blood. It extended its tongue, lightly licking the corner of its mouth, the black cloth on its left shoulder grinning menacingly. (Image: LadyDevimon)

　Dark controlled the "Flying Charm" to fly in the air, his eyes closed, his vision switched to the same as that of the "Single Sword Sheath".

　Angemon, representing holy light, is flying to his right. LadyDevimon, representing evil darkness, is flying to his left. He holds the Holy Sword, pointing it at the ground.

　He took a soft sip.

　At its command, the angels and demons suddenly rushed towards the ground!

　Almost at the same time.

　A terrifying black shadow rose from the ground.

　That was the magical spirit that Chloe Artemis had just summoned by sacrificing herself using the "Sacrifice Summoning Spell".

　The offerings were a copy of "Devimon" and the now-useless (Night Spirit Pot).

　One six-star, one three-star, summoned by sacrifice.

　What emerged was naturally a nine-star magical spirit!

　After Chloe summoned the nine-star magical spirit, the "Dark Spirit," she surprisingly did not hide in the shadows any longer.

　Instead, he gripped his twin swords tightly, followed behind the "Dark Elf," and pounced forward.

　Stepping out of the shadows and soaring into the sky is actually an act of giving up one's own advantages.

　But to win the duel, one cannot hide in the shadows. Moreover, Chloe knows very well that the longer the fight drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for her.

　Dakdimon has clearly found his rhythm.

　The resurrection ability of the six-star Angemon made him extremely vigilant. He had already summoned the nine-star Magical Spirit "Dark Magician." He was also in a state of armed readiness.

　Although slightly weakened by the "Night Spirit Curse," it's basically not a major problem.

　In short, it's time to go all in again! "Dark Elf, Shadow Curse!"

　The "Dark Elf" is a Dark/Ghost/Undead type magical elf. It is entirely black, as if formed from shadows, with only its eyes flashing a dark red light.

　When it first emerged from the shadow on the ground, it was only the size of a human body. But as it continued to rise, it became like a small mountain, suddenly bursting forth like a huge black curtain flying into the sky.

　Chloe Artemis followed closely behind, and her command caused the "Dark Elf" to suddenly raise its head, releasing countless shadows from its body.

　The shadows intertwined and merged, transforming into two giant shadow hands that reached out to grab LadyDevimon and Angemon respectively!

　But LadyDevimon, charging towards them, merely sneered and transformed its left claw into a "Dark Spear," thrusting it forward as it pounced. Meanwhile, Angemon, though only a six-star monster, fearlessly swung its "Heavenly Fist"!

　The magical spirits of both sides clashed for the first time under the watchful eyes of their respective mages.

　LadyDevimon's Dark Spear was wreathed in powerful dark energy. But when the spear was thrust out, it passed straight through the giant shadow hand.

　Immediately afterwards, the giant hand reached out and grabbed at its body, and then... it pierced through its chest!

　The giant shadowy hand did not cause any damage to LadyDevimon. However, after passing through its body, it froze in mid-air for a moment.

　It was as if they were "frozen in place".

　Seeing this, Chloe Artemis couldn't help but sneer inwardly. The "Shadow Curse" of the "Dark Elf," being a curse, was naturally not a physical attack. It inflicted a curse effect similar to being bound by a shadow, rendering the target unable to move from head to toe when the giant shadow hand passed through their body. Although this "Demon" was also a nine-star magical spirit, it clearly lacked the corresponding resistance, and was subdued in a single exchange.

　But as his gaze was fixed on LadyDevimon, a blinding golden light suddenly flashed in the corner of his eye.

　He turned his head sharply and saw that the "Angemon" with only six stars had actually shattered the shadowy giant hand that should have no form with a single punch!

　Immediately afterwards, the six-star "Angemon" continued to pounce, and golden light shone on its fist once again!

　Despite being only a six-star creature, Chloe sensed an even greater threat emanating from it.

　His heart tightened, and he immediately changed his strategy, splitting up with "Dark Elf" and facing "Angemon" alone!

　The "Dark Elf" has high magic power and strong attack power, but is relatively weak in defense.

　The fist of "Angemon" exuded an extremely strong holy aura, clearly showing that, like the "Holy Sword," it was also extremely effective against dark-type attacks.

　It would be unwise to let the "Dark Elf" fight him. It would be better for him to take action himself.

　His original plan was to have "Dark Elf" control "LadyDevimon" and "Angemon" so that he could then deliver the fatal blow.

　But now that the "Shadow Curse" has been shattered with a single punch, he has no choice but to deal with it himself. "Finish it off as quickly as possible!"

　The moment that thought crossed her mind, Chloe had already flown to Angemon's side.

　He drew both swords simultaneously, swiftly slashing towards Angemon's fist.

　But Angemon suddenly opened its palm, grasped the Holy Staff in its other hand, and then spun it at high speed.

　Ultimate move – "God's Typhoon"!

　Chloe suddenly felt a gust of wind hit her face, her hair flying wildly from her forehead, and she was blown backward by the "Typhoon of God"!

　He suddenly exerted his strength, channeling magic into his feet, trying to use the power of "Armed Moonshadow" to grab onto the air.

　But Angemon continued to spin the Holy Staff, releasing a constant gust of wind that pushed him backward until he crashed violently into the roof of the building.

　Meanwhile, Dark Deemon, who was supposed to be flanking the enemy, suddenly appeared beside LadyDevimon, quickly grabbed LadyDevimon's slender waist, and turned to dodge the shadow attack from Dark Elf!

　The "Dark Elf" shot out a cloth-shaped shadow from its body, the sharp edge of which barely grazed the "Ladymon's" wing, leaving a huge mouth on it.

　But when it wanted to press its advantage and launch another attack.

　As if dancing along with Dark Dimon's body, "Ladybone" spun half a circle in the air, then suddenly widened its eyes, spread its arms, and broke free from the restraints of "Shadow Curse"!

　It is indeed impossible for it to get rid of the "Dark Elf's" shadow curse in such a short time by its own power.
