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

　"Why is Dark changing his clothes?" Victoria asked, puzzled. Phoenix thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he wants to hide his identity." Another second-year student shouted, "Of course he wants to hide his identity! Our professor is just too famous. If he doesn't hide his identity, those contestants will be terrified when they see him, how can they duel like that?"

　Victoria frowned and said, "I feel like you're right, but something's not quite right either. What's going on?"

　On the field, Dark had already drawn five magic cards. He glanced at his hand and gradually became serious.

Chapter 1492 Horus's Black Flame Dragon (4k)

　The [Charmander] Magical Spirit card was created before I left school. It was to compensate for the shortcomings of the eight-star "Charizard" and to provide a suitable form to be imbued with intelligence.

　This three-star Charmander can be evolved using Pride, and the final evolved form, Charizard, is a nine-star Charizard.

　For routine use, Qianyidong P81A can also be used. Its detailed specifications are as follows:

　(Image: Charmander)

　Card Name: Little Dragon

　[Type: Spirit Card]

　[Level: 08o]

　[Race: Dragon]

　[Attribute: Fire]

　【Magic Power: 1500】

　[Attack: 1600]

　[Defense: 1400]

　[Ultimate Techniques: Solar Power, Flame Jet, Smoke Screen, Oath of Fire]

　The little dragon's body is orange, with a cream-colored belly and lower tail. Flames burn on its tail, symbolizing its vitality. When the flames go out, it means the end of its life.

　Charmander has blue eyes, four small teeth standing on its upper and lower jaws, relatively short limbs, four very short fingers, and three claws. The Charmander Dark created possesses remarkably high stats for a three-star Magical Pokémon, and is also a gold card with four special moves. He spent seven points of "Pride" and a considerable amount of rare materials to create it. Furthermore, although Charmander is actually a "Lizard Pokémon," this "Charmander" created by Dark is still a Dragon-type, but it lacks the Dragon-type attribute.

　Its three stats are relatively balanced, with high attack and low defense, but the differences are not significant.

　As the representative of the "aggressive" style of the original three starter families, it has no obvious weaknesses.

　Of its four special moves, the first one is the embodiment of "arrogance," which is also the "power of the sun" possessed by the eight-star "Charizard."

　v

　[Power of the Sun: Under the sunlight, (Charmander) can draw upon the power of the sun to become stronger, increasing its attack power to 1.5 times its base attack power, but consuming 10 mana points per second.]

　"Power of the Sun" can be understood as an enchantment skill that costs ten points of magic power per second, and the 1.5x attack power increase is very useful.

　The drawback is that it can only be used on sunny days.

　The next three special moves are all unrelated to "Charizard". The first one is "Flamethrower".

　—As long as it's not a "spark," that's enough.

　v

　[Flame Breath: (Charmander) attacks its opponent by spewing a powerful flame. Sometimes it will inflict a burn.]

　In the game, "Flamethrower" has a power of 90, while "Spark" has a power of 40.

　Normally, Charmander's starting move is "Spark," and it needs to level up to learn "Flame Breath." However, Dark's Charmander is clearly not in its initial state. Its third special move is "Smoke Screen."

　v

　[Smoke Screen: (Charmander) creates a thick black smoke effect, obscuring the area's visibility and reducing the opponent's accuracy.]

　"Smoke Screen" is a functional special move. It's basically considered a useless move in Pokémon games, but it's quite useful in real life.

　Because the smoke produced by "Charmander" is the extremely pungent black smoke generated by burning flames, which can not only obstruct vision but also hinder breathing.

　Its final finishing move is "Oath of Fire".

　【Oath of Fire: Charmander forms an oath with a Fire Spirit, greatly enhancing the power of Fire-type special moves. Actively using 【Oath of Fire】 creates pillars of fire for attack. If combined with 【Oath of Water】 for a combined attack, it transforms the player's field into a Rainbow Field, making it easier for special moves to trigger their additional effects; if combined with 【Oath of Grass】 for a combined attack, it transforms the opponent's field into a Fire Field, dealing damage equal to 1/8 of the opponent's maximum HP each turn to non-Fire-type opponents.】

　Both the "Rainbow Field" and the "Fire Field" can last for five rounds, or one hundred and fifty seconds.

　Of course, these types of field techniques will be less effective when facing high-level magical spirits.

　From the description of this ultimate move, it is clear that the Grass-type starter Bulbasaur and the Water-type starter Squirtle, which are opposite to Charmander, are likely to learn Grass Pledge and Water Pledge, respectively, and thus be able to unleash the corresponding combination moves.

　However, in the absence of Bulbasaur and Squirtle, there is another key point to the ultimate move "Fire Pact": "forming a pact with the Pokémon".

　In simple terms, this means forming a contract with a fire elemental spirit and becoming a fire elemental spirit user.

　This means that "Little Fire Dragon" has extremely high fire affinity and the talent to become a fire elemental spirit user.

　If a deep bond can be formed with it, Dark's fire affinity will increase further.

　As for why Torchic, another Fire-type starter Pokémon, didn't learn Fire Pledge...

　The special moves of the Magic Spirit Cards are not fixed to begin with.

　Creatures like Pokémon, which can learn a large number of different special moves, have a higher degree of randomness in their special moves.

　If I craft one or two more Torchic cards, I might be able to obtain a Torchic Spell Card that also has the "Oath of Fire".

　Back to the field.

　Dark drew "Little Fire Dragon" in his starting hand, but did not draw any of the "Pride" series of major sin cards.

　He has no emotional bond with Charmander and cannot evolve it without the "Pride" card.

　Therefore, this [[Charmander]] can currently only be used as a single card. However, this is also part of the strategy.

　He specially selected some magic cards that he had never used before to form a new deck, just to hide his identity from the players.

　Because his magical spirits are all too special, the appearance of even a random "Devimon" would expose his identity, making his current disguise pointless.

　After looking at his five cards, he had a clear idea of ​​what was going to happen.

　He'll probably have to take the lead in the early stages of this duel.

　However, having just activated his seventh meridian, he already possesses the physical strength of a top-tier warrior and is fully capable of handling ordinary battles.

　As for which magical spirit to summon first in this duel, it should definitely be [Charmander]!

　"In the name of Darkdemon, by magical summoning, I choose you—[Little Fire Dragon]!"

　As soon as the 30-second countdown ended, Dark began his summoning the moment he entered the "battle phase".

　Then, just three seconds later, an orange dinosaur with flames on its tail materialized from the summoning light.

　At the same time.

　Milne on the opposite side also completed his first summon.

　He was clearly a very traditional mage, and his mastery of summoning magic was extremely proficient, completing the summoning in a mere three seconds.

　Given his age, he's most likely a graduate of some magic academy. And the first magic spirit he summoned was a young girl—a three-star magical spirit named "Masked Magical Girl."

　The magical girl wearing the butterfly mask raised her wand the moment she was summoned, releasing a hemispherical magic shield.

　This magical shield, attached to the tip of a staff and only able to block frontal attacks, is essentially a large shield. It demands a high level of skill from the user in wielding the shield.

　It requires the user's reflexes to defend against attacks from different directions. Furthermore, if the spellcaster must use a wand to assist in casting, it cannot cast a second spell until the magic shield is dispelled.

　—Just then, a phantom magician twice her height appeared behind the "Masked Magical Girl".

　Then the phantom mage also raised a wand and began chanting a second magic spell!

　."

　"As expected of Milne."

　Two spectators who were interested in Milne went nearby to watch the duel. They were full of praise for Milne's "Masked Magical Girl".

　"Phantom Mage" is the core special move of "Magical Girl". Its specific effect is to generate a phantom of a mage to assist in casting spells.

　Moreover, the "Phantom Mage" can not only assist the "Masked Magical Girl" in unleashing her ultimate attack, but also assist the mage in casting spells.

　Milne specifically learned several types of magic for this purpose.

　However, most spells have very long casting times. Therefore, "Phantom Mage" used a Spellcasting spell this time, summoning a spell card from Milne's hand—"Triple Meteor".

　"Triple Meteor" is a spell that can unleash three "Meteor Spells" in succession.

　The power of "Meteor Spell" was already considerable; after being hit three times in a row, even the magical spirits were flattened.

　However, Milne's target was the duelist himself.

　The "Meteor Spell" deals 2000 damage and, if it hits, also inflicts a stun effect.

　Just two shots are enough to reduce a duelist's 4,000 health points to zero. Milne clearly didn't want to get entangled with Dark for long and was preparing for a quick victory.

　But Dakdimon is not a wooden stake that will stand still.

　After summoning the "Little Fire Dragon," he immediately ordered it to use "Smoke."

　With a soft cry, [Little Fire Dragon] immediately spewed out a cloud of black smoke, which rapidly accumulated, obscuring Milne's vision and spreading quickly towards the opposite side.

　But Milne was not confused. His eyes flashed, and he pointed out the direction and determined the distance to help the "Phantom Wizard" locate himself.

　He himself then quickly launched a second summoning.

　...

　The venue was filled with smoke.

　Suddenly, a huge meteorite fell straight down from above where Dark was standing, making a loud rumbling sound.

　Viewers in front of the screen immediately turned their attention to the health bars displayed on both sides.

　Then it was seen that Da Kedimon's health points had not decreased at all.

　But then a second and a third huge meteorite fell in succession, each a certain distance apart, basically covering the area where Dark might exist.

　However, his 4000 health points remained rock solid, not dropping an inch. "Roar—"

　A "little fire dragon" suddenly leaped out of the smoke, and the distance between the two sides was already quite close.

　"Spray flames!"

　Darkdemon's voice rang out from the smoke, and "Little Fire Dragon" immediately spewed out a huge flame.

　The flames almost pierced through half the area before crashing into the "Magical Girl's" magic shield with a deafening roar.

　The "Magical Girl" suddenly exerted force with her staff, managing to withstand the impact of the [flame jet].

　But its magic shield had become as thin as paper.

　It was brittle, as if it could break at the slightest touch. The next moment, specks of red light appeared beneath its feet, a phenomenon of fire element rapidly gathering.

　—"The Oath of Fire!" "Boom!"

　The pillar of fire released by "Oath of Fire" instantly engulfed the spot where "Magical Girl Mask" was standing.

　But Milne reacted extremely quickly.

　Before the pillar of fire could erupt, he grabbed the "Masked Magical Girl" by the waist and lunged to the side.

　While dodging the pillars of fire, he also saved the "Masked Magical Girl".

　At the same time, he forcibly twisted his body, landing on his back, and uttered the final invocation.

　One, two, three... a total of thirteen black cats leaped out of the summoning circle at the same time and rushed towards the "Little Fire Dragon".

　"The Black Flame Dragon of Horus".

　Dak gave the order in a low voice.

　The "Horus Black Flame Dragon Lv4", which had already been summoned, immediately rushed out of the smoke screen, and with a swipe of its iron wings, it cut a black cat that was charging at it in half.

　But the remaining black cats still charged forward fearlessly.

　Several rushed towards the "Little Fire Dragon", while several were blocked by the "Horus Black Flame Dragon Lv4".
