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

　[Defense: 1300]

　[Special Attacks: Fairy Skin, Loud Voice, Destructive Ray]

　……

　"cough!"

　Noticing that his precious child's thoughts seemed to have drifted away from the competition, Dark quickly coughed to remind him.

　Sylveon suddenly focused its attention and saw the magical Pokémon on the other side already pouncing towards it!

　It was a magical elf in the shape of a lion, but its face was covered by a pure white mask, revealing only its eyes, nostrils, and a slit in its mouth about the width of a finger.

　As the king of the forest, the lion's teeth and claws are its most powerful weapons.

　But the mask sealed its teeth.

　This makes it less imposing and more sinister.

　Continuing Angelia's consistent style, this "face-changing lion" is extremely fast.

　In the blink of an eye, it was upon us.

　But Sylveon suddenly took a step forward, its small mouth widened, and then an extremely terrifying roar came out!

　"Roar!"

　Originally, the roar of the forest should have been the lion king's act, but now the roles of the two have been reversed.

　Sylveon's roar was as loud as thunder, even affecting the duel next door!

　The entire venue reverberated with a deafening sound.

　Audience members closer to the venue hurriedly covered their ears, but the sound still lingered in their ears.

　The loud noise and the resulting air vibrations made the lion's fur tremble. Its forward-leaping posture suddenly froze, and then it was violently blown away!

　Magic power has plummeted!

　……

　After rolling around on the ground a few times in a sorry state, the lion with the face changed its face and then stood up again, but the mask on its face suddenly turned yellow.

　An aura of anger and rage immediately spread!

　……

　[Two words combined, 4100 words]

　[I wrote 25000 words in the last 30 hours of October, and I'm still recovering.]

　[After having dinner, I'll write another chapter today to make up for yesterday's.]

Chapter 241 Darkdemon's Double Ibrahimovic (4k)

　Card Name: Face-Changing Lion

　[Type: Spirit Card]

　【grade:】

　[Race: Bird-Beast]

　【属性：一般系】

　【Magic Power: 1500】

　[Attack: 1500]

　[Defense: 1500]

　[Special Move: Face Changing (White, Black, Yellow, Red)]

　……

　The red player is on the stage.

　Angelia held the magic card, a hint of astonishment in her eyes.

　Dark's summoning speed had already surprised her, but what surprised her even more was the extraordinary method of turning a first-tier magical spirit into a second-tier one!

　"I actually lost in the quick summoning of a four-star magical spirit..."

　She muttered something to herself, then gave a very faint smile.

　"interesting."

　Since the end of the dueling class in the second year, Angelia has hardly participated in any duels.

　I haven't felt this way for a year and a half.

　But getting her interested comes at a price!

　"Lion with a changing face, turn yellow!" came the command.

　The lion's mask instantly changed from white to yellow!

　Its relatively slender limbs suddenly swelled up. In particular, its four lion paws extended sharp, blade-like armor!

　It was clearly visible to the naked eye that the Lion's attack power had increased by a full 300!

　Attack: 1500 → 1800

　The white-faced man is cunning and shrewd, and his speed is increased.

　Yellow face indicates irritability, increases attack power.

　The white face turned yellow, and the Lion's speed returned to normal, but its attack power increased.

　It suddenly lunged forward, its claws gripping the ground, its anger boiling over!

　Then it pounced on Sylveon again!

　At this point, Lepor's basic attack power surpasses Sylveon's, and combined with its lion-like size and sharp claws, it will undoubtedly gain the upper hand in close combat.

　However, just to be on the safe side, Angelia still drew another card from her hand, ready to launch an attack at any time.

　Get serious!

　……

　The Lion on the field seemed to sense her thoughts, its naturally ferocious aura growing stronger. As it approached Sylveon, it suddenly exerted force with its limbs and pounced with a low growl!

　But Sylveon, who had been waiting in place for a long time, was already poised to attack!

　"Destroy the Death Ray!"

　Dark's soft shout followed.

　Sylveon opened its mouth once again, but this time what came out of its mouth was no longer a "loud voice", but a terrifying white light that exuded an aura of destruction!

　All that could be seen was a white expanse, with countless rays of light being absorbed and gathered, forming a white sphere of light in its mouth.

　The ball of light instantly transformed into a beam of light, which shot out suddenly!

　"boom!"

　Before the face-changing lion could even react, it was struck in the face by the "Destructive Beam" from an extreme distance—almost without stopping, the Destructive Beam completely engulfed it from head to toe!

　As the embers of that light faded, cheers suddenly erupted from the sidelines.

　The Lion of Change has completely turned into fragments of light.

　Both are four-star magical spirits.

　At this moment, the absolute gap between the two sides became apparent!

　Sylveon, who hadn't moved an inch since being summoned, completely vaporized Leeroy, another four-star Magical Pokémon, simply by consuming the magic power from using two moves!

　……

　"mum……"

　But after Sylveon achieved its goal, its smile seemed forced.

　Because its entire body was stiff, it had fallen into an abnormal state following the use of the "Destruction Ray".

　It will be unable to move for the next round.

　……

　"Ok?"

　Angelia, the player on the red team, keenly noticed this detail and immediately activated the magic card she had prepared beforehand!

　Where the lion disappeared, a shadow suddenly fell.

　From the shadows, something stirred.

　A pitch-black lion, except for its yellow mask, suddenly raised its upper body from the shadow!

　"what is this?"

　Dark, the blue team's player on the platform, looked astonished, and the sacrificial summoning spell he was preparing was almost interrupted.

　The shadow was already very close to Sylveon. At this moment, the shadow-like Leeroy emerged from the shadow and pounced on Sylveon with a single leap, its sharp claws raised high and fiercely clawing at its chest!

　Sylveon was frozen stiff, and could only watch as Leeroy left a deep scratch on its chest!

　Fortunately, Sylveon's maximum magic power was as high as 1900, and its defense was also not weak, so it was not torn to pieces on the spot!

　Immediately afterwards, white light descended from the sky.

　With her body stiff, Sylveon only showed a hint of extremely unwilling and annoyed expression at the end before transforming into light and merging with the white light that descended from the sky!

　"By offering 'Sylveon' as a sacrifice, I summon—'Sylveon'!"

　After calming down, Dark completed a nested operation.

　In mid-air, two beams of white light converged and merged, forming a mysterious and complex sacrificial summoning array.

　And a brand new magical Pokémon—the Sylveon that looks exactly like the one from before—makes its graceful entrance!

　……

　"here we go again!"

　Angelia covered her forehead.

　"It seems that the magical power and defense of this type of magical spirit are higher than they appear. Otherwise, magical spirits with less than 50% remaining magical power would be almost impossible to use as sacrifices to summon other magical spirits of the same star level."

　Using a magical spirit of the same star level as a sacrifice to summon another magical spirit of the same star level, the main purpose of this nested operation should be to eliminate unresolved negative statuses or refresh skill cooldowns.

　The price to pay for this is a magic spirit of the same star level that still has full combat power.

　The gains and losses involved are something the duelists must weigh themselves.

　She then glanced at the ritual card that had just been activated.

　→ "A photocopy of Leonardo da Vinci's work!"

　The card shows a notebook shrouded in shadow.

　……

　The famous dragon egg mage Leonardo da Vinci drew thousands of dragon eggs in order to study them. In the end, he "accidentally" broke a dragon egg, so he used projection magic to transfer the dragon egg from his memory onto a notebook, finally escaping the endless hell of drawing dragon eggs.

　The esoteric card crafted based on this legend is known as "Da Da Vinci's Photocopy".

　When the marked magical spirit dies, a shadow identical to the dead magical spirit can be summoned from the shadow!

　This actually falls under the category of "Special Summon".

　By bypassing Normal Summon and Tribute, use a Ritual Card to Special Summon a new Magical Spirit!

　……

　Unfortunately, the opponent also had a countermeasure, thus losing the possibility of winning by surprise.

　Angelia frowned slightly and reached for the deck.

　The first round is over, and the second round of the battle has just begun.

　……

　"Battle Phase" [30s]
