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

　Although the lightning bolts falling from the sky were not aimed at him, they were an invisible deterrent.

　As Chloe clapped his hands, the "Shadow of the Night" that enveloped his entire body suddenly broke free and transformed into a terrifying shadow that lunged at Quintina.

　Chloe, however, landed with lightning speed and instantly used "Shadow Stalking." In that instant, his feet disappeared into the shadows, and his entire body sank rapidly.

　He felt an unnamed fear in his heart, an intuition he couldn't ignore, which instinctively led him to slip into the shadows.

　However, at the very last moment before he fully immersed himself in the shadows, what he saw was the scene of "Night Demon" being torn apart by Quintina with her bare hands.

　Quintina's hands had slender fingers, but they were somehow covered with a layer of azure lightning.

　She reached out and inserted her hand into the "Shadow of the Night," gently pulling it to both sides to tear open a tiny opening. Lightning from her fingertips then spread rapidly along the edge of the opening, causing it to widen instantly and split the "Shadow of the Night" in two.

　Vanished instantly!

　Then, Quintina suddenly turned her head and looked at Chloe, whose head was now only half-hidden in the shadows.

　At that moment, Chloe felt an overwhelming sense of fear.

　He couldn't detect a trace of anger in those eyes, but the fear in his heart grew infinitely larger.

　He almost immediately slipped into the shadows and fled quickly in the opposite direction from Quintina.

　But Quintina's gaze remained fixed on him, as if she could see him moving in the shadows.

　then.

　Quintina raised her right hand, and endless lightning gathered in her palm, transforming into a "lightning spear".

　She lifted the "Lightning Spear" and gently extended her palm forward. The "Lightning Spear" vanished instantly.

　When it reappeared, it was already pinned to the ground!

　The shadows on the ground instantly dissipated, revealing Chloe's body.

　"Boom!"

　Countless bolts of lightning gathered at that moment and crashed down upon the "Lightning Spear".

　Amidst that deafening roar, Chloe Artemis vanished into thin air.

　"Battle over."

　The duel finally ended when Chloe Artemis awoke again in the "Graveyard".

　He fought a fierce duel, but ultimately failed, falling to Quintina's "casual strike".

　Faced with this result, it's no wonder he couldn't accept it. Even many audience members couldn't accept it.

　Why did Chloe, who should have won, suddenly die? Why was Quintina, who fell from the sky, unharmed? And who ultimately killed Chloe?

　However, if we go back further, Quintina was not actually the first player to "cheat" her way to the top.

　In fact, within the Elf Magic Academy, there is another contestant who possesses a seemingly "second personality" "cheat code," which is essentially no different from the changes that Quintina suddenly underwent after her fall.

　If we want to investigate Quintina, we must first investigate Nono, and then we must investigate "Battle Saintess" Audrey Jeanne d'Arc!

　Both are "cheating," it's just that this one is using it more aggressively, but it doesn't violate the competition rules.

　You said so, right?

　The Royal Academy's athletes waved their flags excitedly in the circular stands, eager to rush onto the field and toss Quintina high into the air.

　With Quintina's victory over Chloe, the Elf Sorcerer Academy loses another 7 points, while the Royal Academy of the Kingdom gains another 7 points.

　Therefore, the total score of the Royal Academy of the Kingdom reached [27] points.

　The total score for the Elf Magic Academy plummeted to a mere 24 points! [27>24]

　Quintina single-handedly pulled off an amazing comeback!

　The Royal Academy of the Kingdom has surpassed the Elf Magic Academy to become the sixth-place finisher in this Academy Championship.

　While this is far from the final result, it's already incredibly exciting. And given the terrifying power Quintina displayed when she instantly defeated Chloe, she'll undoubtedly be unstoppable in future duels. Not only will she not only maintain her sixth-place ranking, but she might even go further, perhaps... aiming straight for...

　"How dare you think that!"

　Kennick Andrew was suddenly struck on the head with a club, but when he turned around, he saw no one.

　However, while the Royal Academy of the Kingdom was celebrating wildly and the Elf Magic Academy was indignant, the variables in the "Duel City" were not over yet.

　In fact, this is just the beginning!

　"Battle Ended" → "Both Sides Recovered" → "Domain Removed". Chloe Artemis stood there stunned for a moment, until she heard her companions' voice transmission reminding her that she was the one who initiated the duel and had no duel protection time.

　In other words, if Quintina wanted to, she could challenge Chloe to another duel right now!

　Although Chloe still has enough points to cover the "1" point bet for another duel, in this situation, what he needs to do most is to cut his losses as soon as possible.

　Quintina's sudden outburst made it very clear to the elven players, including him, that their previous plans had been completely thwarted. If they didn't want to be eliminated early, they had no choice but to swallow their anger and give up on continuing to fight Quintina.

　But their decision to give up does not mean that Quintina will give up. If she still wants to struggle, she can only use Plan B – the strategy of diverting the trouble to the east!

　Although this strategy of diverting the trouble eastward is not entirely foolproof, it is probably the only option under the current circumstances.

　The students from the Elf Magic Academy quickly considered their next move, while simultaneously reminding Chloe to retreat before Quintina regained consciousness.

　Chloe was quick-witted and immediately understood after being reminded. As the saying goes, "Where there's life, there's hope," and with Quintina in this state, the other academies wouldn't have a good chance of dealing with her.

　They don't necessarily have to take back points from Quintina; as long as they run faster than the other colleges, they still have a chance to get a high ranking.

　In short, it's best to retreat now!

　Upon realizing this, Chloe immediately used "Shadow Concealment" to disappear into the shadow beneath her feet.

　But the instant he began to act, Quintina, who was floating in the air, suddenly turned her head, her lightning-filled eyes staring blankly at the shadow he had slipped into.

　Then, Quintina raised her right hand again. Instantly, endless lightning gathered and condensed into a "lightning spear" in her palm once more.

　In the shadows, Chloe's expression suddenly changed drastically. And it wasn't just him.

　The contestants who witnessed this scene through the projection all changed color.

　"Oops!"

　Dark's heart skipped a beat, and he almost immediately reached for the card bag.

　At this time, there were no other duels taking place in "Duel City". Therefore, the screens and projections did not switch and continued to display the images of Chloe and Quintina.

　Almost all the contestants and spectators saw that scene. Those with keen senses all realized what had happened.

　Quintina remained in a very special state and did not regain her clear consciousness after the duel ended.

　Dark was all too familiar with Quintina in this state. At this moment, the consciousness of "God King" Zeus had taken over her, and that fragment of consciousness had no complete thought, acting entirely on instinct, without considering whether it was "right" or not.

　Chloe Artemis is in mortal danger!

　This is something that could hardly have been predicted in this academy championship. If Quintina were allowed to kill Chloe on the field, not to mention the ensuing racial conflict...

　The issue of the end and the country means that this college competition, which has finally come to a successful end, is about to be defeated in one fell swoop, and all efforts will be in vain.

　The reputation of St. Marian Academy itself, and even the authority of the Magic Alliance, will inevitably be questioned.

　This is the last thing that can be allowed to happen in the early stages of a changing era.

　"Flying Spell," "Devimon," or some other magical spirit?"

　Several thoughts flashed through Dak's mind.

　Whether he could make it in time or not, as a "professor"—no, as a member of the Magic League—he had to get there.

　Now he could only pray that Chloe could hold on until he arrived. But these thoughts had barely crossed his mind when he suddenly felt a gust of wind, and then a figure flashed past him—Pandora Drogon had vanished! Without him even seeing her use a magic card, he only felt a faint fluctuation of magic power before she flew out of the window of the blue restaurant and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

　Immediately afterwards, the other contestants realized what was happening and took action.

　Inside the red restaurant, a group of long-lived creatures, led by Tiffany and the Disney siblings, immediately flew out, their speed also extremely fast.

　However, no matter how fast they were, they could never catch up with Quintina's casual toss.

　The "Lightning Spear" vanished in the blink of an eye.

　Just as it was about to pierce Chloe Artemis in the shadows, a beam of white light suddenly erupted from beneath Chloe's shadow, sending the "Lightning Spear" flying!

　Those who had been watching the projection suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

　But in the blink of an eye, the contestants and the audience discovered that what had sent the "Lightning Spear" flying was actually the beam of light from "Duel Time"! And after the beam of light rose, a multiplier appeared in the air—[5]!

　Five times the multiplier!

　If Quintina regains her senses at this moment and challenges Chloe to a duel, Chloe will be kicked out of the arena the instant she wins.

　Fortunately, this scenario did not materialize.

　The staff forcibly activated the emergency mechanism at that moment, protecting Chloe Artemis from being washed away. This brief moment of obstruction was enough to allow Principal Arte to descend upon the [Duel City].

　Chloe's crisis can naturally be resolved.

　However, Principal Arte had barely stood up when she sat down again. She suddenly realized that she no longer needed to intervene.

　The "Lightning Spear" thrown by Quintina was not dissipated after being knocked away by the beam of light from "Duel Time," but instead flew back into her palm.

　She gripped the "Lightning Spear" again, a noticeable pause in her movements. It was as if she was contemplating why her attack had been blocked.

　And when she raised the "Lightning Spear" again, preparing for another round of throwing...

　Chloe Artemis has been included in the dueling arena. However, the dueling arena is not being contested by students from other academies, but by students from the Elf race, who are also from the Elf Magic Academy.

　This is clearly a violation of the competition rules.

　However, in this urgent situation, the elven players couldn't afford to disregard the rules.

　Chloe immediately accepted the duel challenge from the elven contestant, a decision made in the blink of an eye.

　He was at the bottom of that beam of light.

　But the beam of light seemed to only have protective capabilities for the moment it rose, and now it has returned to its original form.

　He reappeared after his shadow disappeared, and now immediately ran out of the pillar of light, continuously advancing the duel process and bringing the duel into the "battle phase".

　Even if he dies in a duel thereafter, he can be resurrected immediately in the "graveyard".

　The ingenious use of this dueling mechanism was unexpected by everyone. This shows that the elven contestants are indeed intelligent.

　Of course, this mechanism can only be used once, not twice, and it is not a bug that can be used to achieve "infinite resurrection".

　After all, the dueling arena itself is part of the Shinto ritual. The so-called dueling mechanism is limited by the ritual procedure, and repeatedly exploiting bugs will be regarded as a "virus" and will be met with backlash from the Shinto ritual.

　But at this moment, it has indeed become Chloe's life-saving weapon.

　Chloe immediately slipped into the new shadows and sped away toward her companions.

　However, Quintina did not let him off the hook because of this.

　Or perhaps the concept of resurrection simply doesn't exist in her mind at this moment. If the opponent isn't dead, then she'll kill them again, until she is.

　Chloe can only be resurrected once in that dueling arena.

　Quintina was already preparing to throw "Lightning Spear" once more. However, at that moment, an extremely powerful pressure suddenly came from afar, pressing down on Quintina like an iron-cast mountain.

　The might of the God-King cannot be challenged!

　Quintina's head snapped to the side, fixing its gaze on the direction of the Blue Restaurant.

　In that direction, a black dot instantly expanded in his eyes, appearing right in front of him in the blink of an eye.

　"The field expands!"

　Pandora Doragon's extremely excited voice echoed through the projection.

　The audience calmed down, then suddenly became excited again.

　As spectators, they naturally didn't want the match to be interrupted due to an unexpected event.

　But now the competition has not only continued, but is clearly developing in a more exciting direction, naturally attracting the majority of...

　Everyone is happy to see this happen.

　Of course, some people were secretly cursing the captain of St. Marian Academy, hoping he would fall to Quintina's powerful attack.

　After all, although Quintina was clearly not in a conscious state at this moment, "three times stronger out of control" was obviously Quintina's strongest state.

　Since even Chloe Artemis was instantly killed, what's wrong with instantly killing Pandora and Dragon?
