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

　Zoe sneered, "Don't be afraid, with me here, we won't lose this duel."

　But while the two were talking, Dark had already summoned the second "Gabumon".

　Without hesitation, he immediately mobilized his mental and ecstatic powers to induce evolution.

　At the same time, we are also more vigilant.

　This "Gabumon" doesn't possess the will to resist domination. If he had started with this "Gabumon," he would most likely have been eliminated in the first round by now.

　However, there are no "what ifs" in a duel.

　Every correct choice is part of building the bridge to victory. "Gabumon - Mega Evolution - Astarmon!" Unparalleled power.

　Hellfire, darker than darkness itself.

　Enveloped in raging black flames, the second "Astarmon" roared into the fray.

　Dark glanced at the Astarmon that had regained control of its body and sneered, "Astarmon, use 'Otherworldly,' use 'Hellfire'!"

　The opponent is a mage with many unpredictable methods; deciding the outcome quickly in one round is always the best solution.

　Upon receiving the command, the two "Astaroths" immediately activated "Maverick" under its direction, rushing towards the blue team's field from the left and right respectively. At the same time, Dark drew his third Spell Card, keeping a close eye on his opponent's movements as he prepared to summon it.

　Although Dulles was stunned for a moment for some unknown reason, he immediately began the next summoning after regaining his senses.

　His "Fear of Ghosts" unleashed its ultimate attack—[Cattle and Sheep Fission].

　The "terror ghost" that had concealed its entire body under the white rag suddenly tore the rag in half from the inside, and its body underwent a deformity at the same time.

　Divided at the midpoint between the ox horn and the ram horn, the "fear demon" split into the "ox demon" and the "ram demon".

　These "ox demons" and (sheep demons)

　They all stood upright, with dark skin and muscular bodies, each topped with a bull's head and a sheep's head. But each bull's head and sheep's head had only one long horn.

　These two magical spirits that split into two appeared even more terrifying, and their three attributes seemed to have increased.

　Dulles gave a slight command, and they immediately charged off straight ahead.

　Both the "Ox Demon" and the "Sheep Demon" are extremely fast.

　They ignored the "Astaroths" rushing from both sides and charged straight at Dark.

　This complete abandonment of defense can only be explained by one thing: Dulles is confident he is not afraid of the "Astaroth's" attack!

　Dark felt a thought, and it was transmitted through the bond of the mind to the first "Astarmon".

　As the "Astaroth" ran to the center line of the field, it slightly moved its left hand, and a dagger formed from condensed dark power instantly materialized.

　"call out--"

　The "Dark Dagger" shot out at incredible speed, heading straight for Dulles's face.

　But Dulles suddenly stepped back, and the tip of the dagger flickered, then rippled through the air as if it had pierced the surface of water.

　Then, without a sound, the "Dark Dagger" pierced through Dulles's face and shot towards the edge of the dueling area.

　This dagger, which was supposed to be able to hit its target, failed to cause Dulles any damage whatsoever!

　Dark frowned, immediately realizing that the "Dark Dagger" had "lost its target" for a moment!

　Why would a dagger that was supposed to hit its target miss its target?

　The only possibility is that his target "disappeared" in that instant! "Is this Dulles's trump card?"

　With a flick of his finger, Dark summoned the "Elysium Mist Field". Immediately, a pink mist spread rapidly, forming a mist field around him that continued to expand.

　Targets within this misty area will not be affected by status ailments. Targets possessing the [Elysium] power will also gain the additional [Charming Body] effect.

　Additionally, it can halve the power of dragon-attribute special attacks. While surrounded by fairy mist, Dark had already opened his "Eye of Truth," his gaze piercing through the fog to continue observing the entire situation.

　Dulles somehow managed to infiltrate a place resembling another dimension, thus evading the attack of the "Dark Dagger."

　However, using this method, neither the "Dark Dagger" nor the "Hellfire Bullet," which lack the ability to travel through space, could effectively harm him. This is probably the real reason why Dulles was so confident. However, Dulles's use of this method was not without trace. He couldn't stay in the "alternate dimension" for long, and there was a relatively obvious movement before he infiltrated it—indicating that there was a delay in activating this method.

　However, this delay is very short and will basically have no impact.

　In terms of its effects, it is somewhat similar to Professor Enid's "Illusory Realm".

　Of course, their underlying mechanisms are completely different.

　Give Dark some time, and he should be able to analyze things more thoroughly through observation and perception, and thus figure out a solution.

　But this is not easy in a fierce duel where every second counts.

　However, drawing on known cases and imitating Professor Steven's approach... is not out of the question.

　"Astaroth - Hellfire!" Dark immediately issued the command.

　The two Astaroths simultaneously set up their Golden Salmon machine guns, aimed at Dulles, and pulled the triggers!

　In an instant, a hail of bullets came rushing towards them.

　Dulles immediately took a step back and slipped into the "Dead Space." The "Dead Space" was a special space that Zoe used to store her undead creatures.

　In fact, powerful necromancers all create such a special space for themselves.

　Professor Steven Harvey, of course, also has that.

　However, Professor Harvey had sealed away his "dead space" long ago, and therefore had never opened it in front of Dark. This is why Dark did not recognize Dulles when he saw him infiltrate the "dead space," and was not particularly surprised.

　Because the "Dead Space" is a special space that can only hold undead creatures. In other words, it's a space that can only hold corpses!

　Beings that are not inanimate objects, but living, thinking beings, are conceptually incapable of entering the "dead space."

　But Dulles was an exception.

　The term "born necromancer" is not an arrogant description. If Dulles had been born in an era when magic flourished, he would undoubtedly have become a true genius and a master necromancer.

　Players lounge.

　Professor Steven Harvey saw through Dulles's scheme at a glance. His brows furrowed immediately.

　Professor Cazell, who also saw through his methods, couldn't help but ask, "Steven, how did you do that?"

　Professor Steven Harvey shook his head and said, "I don't know. 'Dead Space' repels all thought and matter. Even if you force your way in, you'll be repelled by the space, causing your thoughts to become chaotic and dissipate, first turning you into a living corpse, then into a dead corpse."

　Professor Cazell pondered for a moment, then said, "That means... even if he could enter the 'death space' on his own, he wouldn't be able to come out after entering."

　Steven looked at him, and after a long pause, said, "You said it!"

　Hiding in the "death space," Dulles is invincible.

　However, once inside, his mind will be disrupted, making it impossible for him to think independently, and naturally, it will be even more impossible for him to complete the summoning.

　Astaroth's first Dark Dagger interrupted his second summoning.

　Following that, [Hellfire, Unleashed]—he had four magic cards in his hand, but couldn't summon any of them. Only "Ushi-oni" and "Ya-oni" remained on the field.

　Bullets burning with hellfire rained down on his location, leaving him without a foothold in the real world.

　He could only be confined within the "death space," with only a projection visible on the outside.

　It can only be said that this kind of "invincibility" is not what Dulles wants. Moreover, even he would turn into a corpse if he stayed in the "dead space" for too long.

　His capacity to endure also has its limits.

　Dach's imitation of Professor Steven Harvey's strategy was very effective.

　However, the bullets fired by "Golden Salmon" were simply too fast. Even with "Astaroth's" magical power, it couldn't hold out for long.

　The self-aware Astarmon can forcibly control the machine gun to reduce its firing rate. However, the other Astarmon, which lacks self-awareness, cannot do so.

　At this moment, the two Astarmons acted differently. The Astarmon with self-awareness stopped firing, while the Astarmon without self-awareness continued to fire bullets.

　But the dark power binding their feet continued to accumulate, waiting for Dulles to appear so it could deliver a fatal blow!

　Dulles made a major mistake in this duel.

　Although he was not the one who caused the mistake, he and Zoe were one and should share the responsibility.

　However, in the eyes of most viewers, the situation on the field remained balanced. After all, both sides' magical spirits were still present, and each had two nine-star spirits.

　The situations on both battlefields are quite similar.

　Both were two magical spirits attacking the duelists.

　Dulles used special methods to evade the attack.

　Dark summons mist to hide within it.

　Just then, the "Ox-Demon" and the "Sheep-Demon" rushed into the misty arena! Their vision was obscured by the fairy mist. However, being livestock, they possessed a relatively keen sense of smell, allowing them to vaguely pinpoint Dark's location.

　They are incredibly fast and incredibly powerful. If it were an ordinary mage, they would surely be a meal on the plate sandwiched between these two cheese buns.

　But Dacdimon is different.

　He was already a genuine top-tier martial artist, merely playing hide-and-seek with two "blind men" in the mist, emphasizing a relaxed and carefree attitude.

　After guiding the "Ox-Demon" and "Sheep-Demon" towards the corner of the mist, Dark quickly slipped to another corner and began to summon the next magical spirit—"Black-Eared Beast".

　Dark's defining characteristic in formal duels is his unwavering belief in superstition. Regardless of his opponent, he will fight with all his might.

　As soon as he summoned "BlackEarmon", he immediately established a spiritual bond with "BlackEarmon", causing it to evolve.

　This "black-eared beast" is not the vessel of its own consciousness, but that doesn't matter.

　"Black-eared Beast" - Mega Evolution - [Antilomon]

　The third nine-star magical spirit has arrived!

　Dark took a half-step back and immediately commanded, "Antilomon, use 'Sword Leaf Forest'!"

　The "Antilo Beast" had its arms hanging down in a hunting posture, its eyes fixed on the front. When Dark gave the command, its eyes instantly flashed red light, and its two thick, long arms, empowered by "qi," transformed into incomparably sharp "treasure axes." Then, using itself as an axis, it charged forward while accelerating its rotation!

　"Antilomon" is a magical spirit that can sense "ki". Even in the fairy mist, it can easily pinpoint the locations of "Ushioni" and "Sheep Oni".

　At this moment, the two magical sprites had already rushed close.

　"Anti-Luo Beast" suddenly accelerated to its limit, its two "treasure axes" transformed into sharp edges, and its whole body transformed into a tornado, instantly closing in on the center of "Ox Demon" and "Sheep Demon".

　After losing their master's command, the two magical spirits clearly no longer knew how to "position".

　They were very close together.

　As the "Antiro Beast" darted into it, the "Sword Leaf Forest" burst into full bloom.

　Almost instantly, he unleashed over a dozen "axe-blade strikes" upon them. And, successfully, he instantly killed the two nine-star magical spirits!

　A howl like that of a demon pierced the eardrums.

　After being instantly killed, both the "Ox Demon" and the "Sheep Demon" turned into a cloud of black mist.

　0

　The two wisps of black mist actually re-condensed in the air, transforming into the shape of "cow and sheep demons".

　The white rag, which had been torn in two, was reassembled and placed over the cow-and-sheep demon.

　Only in the very center of the white cloth were there stitching marks. This was the "immortality" of the "Ox and Sheep Demon".

　No matter how hungry, thirsty, or exhausted they are, they will not die.

　After being transformed into a finishing move, it becomes "Immortal Ox and Sheep".

　However, the "Fear Demons" that were reduced to their original "cow and sheep demon" form did experience a significant drop in combat power.

　His ultimate moves have come to an end, and he has used them all one by one.

　Even if it were still alive, it would be no match for the "Antilo Beast". The "Antilo Beast" chased after it and casually brought down its "treasure axe", cleaving it into a cloud of black mist.

　It is evident that even if it reforms, its magical power will be minimal. Even if used as a sacrificial offering, there is a significant probability of sacrificial failure.

　Duck judged that the "fearsome ghost" was no longer a threat, and turned to look back at Dulles.

　At the same time, he naturally looked at the two magic cards he had drawn when the turn changed.

　— Dulles is still a turtle!

　After a moment's thought, Dak handed the "Terror Demon" over to the "Antilo Beast" to deal with.

　He controlled the spread of the fairy mist, moving it towards the opposite side of the field.

　Go in a little further.

　He needs to get a closer look at Dulles's situation.

　At this moment, the mindless "Astaroth" had already put away its gun and stood still after firing a hundred bullets.
