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

　As the arrow took shape, its tip was already pressed against the seven-colored barrier of the "Serpent of Wisdom".

　But the arrow made no impact; instead, it scattered in all directions the moment the arrowhead touched the barrier, instantly covering the seven-colored barrier and turning it into a sphere shrouded in yellow sand.

　The sphere was covered with a dense, thick layer of yellow sand, which seemed to fix it in the air like an iron coffin.

　The "King of Yellow Sands" was still unleashing its "Cracking Yellow Wind," with whirlwinds constantly appearing around the arena, growing larger and larger, swirling the yellow sand and turning it into a tornado.

　The "King of Yellow Sands" lay prostrate on the ground and cast a spell, causing the number of yellow sand tornadoes to continue to increase and grow rapidly.

　Even if Ergani breaks free from the "Iron Coffin of Yellow Sand," she will inevitably fall into those countless tornadoes and be torn to shreds.

　But Whitney showed no sign of confidence. Without hesitation, she drew her third magic card and summoned her second magical spirit.

　This magical sprite is only three stars, and its name is "Desert Rat," an unremarkable name.

　However, this magical sprite is Whitney's core trump card, an extremely rare elemental species in the Yellow Wind Desert.

　After she summoned it, she held it in her hand and gently tossed it forward. The little yellow mouse, which was originally only the size of a palm and looked like a clay doll made of countless grains of sand, grew taller and taller in the sandstorm.

　Furthermore, it can be seen from the card's design that its three dimensions also increase dramatically as its size grows.

　Watching it go from three stars to four stars to five stars to six stars... it actually broke through to the third tier in one go.

　Even as time passed and the yellow sand gathered, its size continued to expand! Whitney continued doing all this, pre-activating a ritual card and burying it in the field.

　Only then did she pause slightly. There was still no movement inside the "Yellow Sand Iron Coffin".

　Whitney did not let her guard down.

　The "Yellow Sand Iron Coffin" has an internal compression effect.

　If the seven-colored barrier of the "Serpent of Wisdom" breaks, the iron sand covering the surface of the barrier will instantly squeeze inward, crushing the objects inside into dust.

　Since the "Yellow Sand Iron Coffin" is not reacting, it means that the seven-colored barrier has not yet been broken.

　This far exceeds the duration of typical similar ultimate moves.

　"In that case..."

　Whitney raised her right hand and suddenly squeezed hard.

　The "Yellow Sand Iron Coffin" suddenly exploded under his control, and with a loud "boom", the entire dueling platform trembled.

　Ergane, who emerged from the epicenter of the explosion, was completely unharmed. However, the seven-colored barrier of the "Serpent of Wisdom" had vanished entirely. Whitney flicked two fingers, and the surrounding yellow sand tornadoes rapidly moved towards Ergane.

　And at this moment.

　Ergani still only had one "Serpent of Wisdom" by her side. She didn't seem to have made any additional summons this turn. But the more she did so, the more suspicious it became.

　Whitney's expression was unusually serious.

　She certainly wouldn't believe that a contestant with such a high ranking in the preliminary rounds would have done nothing for an entire round.

　"Is it a ritual, magic, or some hidden tool?" As she pondered, Whitney shifted slightly to the side, covering most of her body in the sandstorm.

　She possessed an extra sensitivity amidst the sandstorm, a sensitivity that surpassed her vision. Even when she couldn't see anything, she could form clear images in her mind.

　Ergani's position was entirely under her control.

　She intends to use "Cracking Yellow Wind" to force Ergani to reveal her hidden methods!

　Just then, a beam of colored light suddenly appeared in the direction where Ergani was, and the entire area fell silent.

　Whitney's expression froze, and her eyes widened instantly.

　Immediately afterwards, she saw the space where the yellow sand tornadoes were located suddenly distort, and countless yellow sands were extracted from the tornadoes and surged towards the center where Ergani was.

　In the blink of an eye, the yellow sandstorm had vanished, leaving only the yellow sand that blended perfectly with the surrounding environment.

　Moreover, the attraction remained, and in the blink of an eye, it began to spread to the surrounding yellow sand.

　Even where Whitney was, the terrifying suction force targeting the yellow sand could be felt.

　She suddenly sensed that the yellow sand inside the "Desert Rat" was also being drawn away, so she quickly made it activate its ultimate move - "Iron Sand Armor"!

　The giant rat, which had grown to five or six meters tall, suddenly clasped its hands together at the command, its five fingers intertwined. A strange energy immediately spread across its body surface, instantly turning the yellow sand on its body into a thick layer of black iron armor.

　As the carapace on its body solidifies, the yellow sand inside the "desert rat" finally stops flowing away.

　However, its growth was also stifled, only reaching the ninth star.

　Whitney, standing behind the "desert rat," could still feel the pain of the sand hitting her back.

　She brushed the braids that were blowing onto her face back, gritted her teeth, and gave the order to launch a full-scale attack on the "Desert Rat".

　Unlike the "King of the Sands," which is more suited to positional warfare, the "Desert Rat" possesses extremely high agility and strength, and its "Iron Sand Armor" also grants it greater defense, making it a master of frontal assaults.

　But as the "Desert Rat" charged toward Ergani, the suction force emanating from Ergani's location increased even further, and the speed at which the sand was sucked away reached its limit at that moment.

　"call--"

　Suddenly, a long howl rang out, and all the yellow sand generated by the presence of the "King of Yellow Sand" was completely absorbed in that instant!

　Whitney suddenly looked at Ergany and discovered that she was holding only a small Rubik's Cube in her hand.

　That's a 6x6x6 Rubik's Cube, with six colors in total.

　When the last grain of sand was sucked away, the colored light on the Rubik's Cube suddenly converged and disappeared into each of the cubes.

　But Ergani spun it with one hand, and the magic cube began to spin rapidly again, releasing a single yellow glow from each cube.

　Then, in an instant, the whistling of the wind came from within.

　A gigantic, golden tornado began to take shape before her. But the tornado was no longer Whitney's control; it belonged to Ergany!

　"Desert Rat!"

　Whitney swallowed hard.

　The "desert rat" that pounced was swept into the sky by the giant tornado, and the rat's screams echoed through the air.

　"King of the Yellow Sands, the Land..."

　Whitney was about to have the "King of the Sands" unleash his final attack, "Earthquake," when she suddenly noticed that Ergan's feet were levitating in the air, several centimeters above the ground.

　She quickly shut her mouth and summoned a magic card that was automatically drawn during the turn change.

　Although Ergani broke through her Sand Field and Tornado special attack with just one unknown cube, her attack frequency was not high.

　Whitney judged that she had plenty of time to complete the summons. And that proved to be true.

　After sweeping away the "Desert Rat", the giant yellow sand tornado controlled by Ergani headed straight for the equally massive "King of the Yellow Sand".

　She knew that the "King of the Sands" was not afraid of the gale, and that the tornado could not sweep it away.

Chapter 1548 The Radiant Serpent, The True War of the Gods (2/2)

　Therefore, she successfully completed the summoning, offering the "Desert Rat" that had been swept away as a sacrifice, and in doing so, she summoned a new nine-star magical spirit - "Child of the Desert"!

　"Child of the Desert" is also an elemental species, with a pure ground attribute, and its appearance is like a giant sandcastle.

　Its attack power is 0, but it has a terrifyingly high defense value and more than one defensive ultimate skill.

　This is the strongest defensive magical spirit she possesses.

　Once she realized that her offensive was ineffective, she immediately switched to defense, waiting to acquire the key magic card before launching a counterattack.

　—Clearly, she held an absolute advantage on the field. After all, Ergani knew that she only had three-star magical spirits, while she, even without counting "Desert Rat" and "Son of the Desert," still had a nine-star "King of the Yellow Sands."

　But at this moment, she felt no advantage whatsoever.

　Despite her opponent's low frequency of action, she felt an intense sense of pressure from them.

　This feeling is like walking alone in a vast, boundless desert. You have no idea where the road ahead leads or where you came from, and you feel like your body and soul are about to be swallowed up by the desert.

　"Boom!"

　"Son of the Desert" rises from the ground.

　Exclamations came and went.

　It was a massive sand fortress spanning the entire arena. The dueling ground was now truly divided in two. Whitney swiftly slipped into the fortress and commanded the "King of the Sands" to move forward.

　The "King of the Yellow Sands" closes its shell and begins to move at a relatively slow speed.

　With each step it took, a wave of sand rippled outwards.

　The sandstorm was quite damaging, capable of killing or forcing back any small creatures that attacked it.

　As waves of sand appeared, new yellow sand gradually formed in the air.

　This is the "King of the Yellow Sands".

　As long as the "King of the Yellow Sands" remains, the environment will not change. The enormous yellow tornado struck the "King of the Yellow Sands" head-on. But the "King of the Yellow Sands" did not retreat an inch; instead, the yellow tornado began to dissipate rapidly.

　Soon, the tornado disappeared, and yellow sand once again filled the area.

　Whitney climbed to the second level from inside the sandcastle and observed the opposite side through the window in the wall.

　opposite.

　Ergani summoned a second magical spirit.

　It was a pink, fat snake wearing a wizard's hat. Two extremely thin hands stretched out from the sides of the snake's body. One hand held a wizard's wand, and the other hand held a small jar filled with green slime.

　But this is still Samsung's Magic Elf.

　Its name is "Pink Witch". Although it is a "witch", it is actually a snake.

　Just as Whitney drove past, the pink, fat snake suddenly raised its wand and pointed forward.

　Whitney almost reflexively shrank back.

　The pink beam of light released from the wand struck the sandcastle wall very close to her.

　"so close."

　The thought had barely crossed Whitney's mind when she suddenly felt her feet slip and she began to fall.

　Then, the surroundings suddenly brightened, and she realized that the sandcastle she was in had disappeared!

　"what happened"

　Whitney didn't have time to think; she immediately adjusted her posture and landed smoothly. Only then did she notice a small snake beside her.

　The little snake was about the size of a palm, with withered yellow skin, and it was lumped together on the ground.

　Whitney suddenly realized that it was the "Son of the Desert"!

　Such a large "Son of the Desert" was turned into a small snake just by being hit by a beam of light!

　A very strange feeling suddenly welled up in Whitney's heart. Other magical spirits were one thing.

　"Son of the Desert" is her strongest defensive magic card. In addition to its high defense stats, it also possesses high resistance to transformation-type special moves.

　Let alone a three-star magic spirit, even a fourth-tier magic spirit cannot break through its resistance!

　But that confidence suddenly vanished at that moment.

　Just now, the "Son of the Desert" was turned into a snake by a three-star magic spirit!

　Whitney quickly checked the "Son of the Desert" magic card.

　It was discovered that its three stats remained unchanged, and its defense was still extremely high, but its ultimate move could not be used while in snake form.

　Moreover, the movement speed, which was originally 0, has changed to the movement speed of an ordinary snake.

　But will this work?

　It's completely useless!

　Even if such a small snake has incredibly high defense, what can it possibly block?

　The answer is that nothing can stop it!

　So the question now is, how long does the "snake transformation" last? This type of special attack, which turns magical spirits into small animals, generally has a very short duration; three to five seconds is considered a long time.

　However, the "absolute defense" type ultimate move, which should also only last for three to five seconds, lasted for more than a round.

　Could this "snake transformation" also last for one round?

　Whitney quickly scooped it up and hid behind it, in a straight line with the "King of the Sands".

　Thirty seconds.

　She can survive by relying on the "King of the Yellow Sands" and her own physical strength!
