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

　After setting up the arcane card, he looked up and saw Professor Lily raising her hand, holding a magic card between two fingers, from which a swarm of magical spirits flew out.

　Those magical sprites were actually miniature versions of fairies. Bathed in a dazzling halo, the fairies, like butterflies and dragonflies, fluttered their wings and flew into the sky with laughter.

　While "Legion-type Magic Cards" are not uncommon, summoning this many Legion-type Magic Cards at once is truly unprecedented.

　Herald was momentarily stunned, but his exceptional combat skills allowed him to quickly recover and activate his secret technique.

　His cryptic card is called "Beast in the Mirror." It's a cryptic ritual based on the legend of "The Beast Within." "The Beast Within" is a personification of human desires, referring to the ferocious beast hidden within everyone's heart. A witch used this concept to cast a spell on humanity, causing an entire town's inhabitants to be devoured by the beast born from their own hearts.

　In this story, the beasts within people's hearts are born from the mirror when they look at themselves.

　Herald's "Beast in the Mirror" is like a beast within. When the opponent summons a Magical Spirit, it copies and transforms that Magical Spirit. Most duelists will use their most crucial Magical Spirit card in their opening hand in Magical Duels.

　Herald directly copied it and made it his own.

　The magic circle beneath his feet lit up again, and ugly winged demons radiating black light quickly poured out from it.

　Light and shadow, good and evil.

　"The Beast in the Mirror" is an evil manifestation of the opponent's magical spirit.

　After Herald replicated it, he immediately obtained some information about the little fairies from it. His expression changed instantly, and he gritted his teeth.

　At this moment, Professor Lily asked curiously, "My fairy army has an individual combat strength of 0. It's only useful when paired with 'Fairy Fusion.' What's the point of you replicating it?"

　Herald gritted his teeth, but still said, "It will be a sacrifice!" "Oh," Lily responded, "but it can only be a three-star sacrifice. Unless you have a magic card like 'Great Disband' to disband it into twelve squads."

　Herald no longer wanted to listen to that voice, so he drew a second magic card and quickly summoned it.

　Lily chuckled and began summoning her second magic card.

　That's right, the magic card she summoned this time was "Fairy Fusion"! The pink light released from the "Fairy Fusion" magic card instantly condensed into a pillar, and all the little fairies rushed into the pillar like moths to a flame.

　These astonishingly large number of little fairies merged together, directly breaking through the shackles before the fourth tier and transforming into a twelve-star magical spirit—"Super Great Fairy"!

　Although the card name sounds a bit... well, it is indeed called "Super Fairy".

　The [Fairy Legion] consists of twelve squadrons, each with twelve fairies, for a total of one hundred and forty-four fairies.

　For each additional large team, the final fused "Super Fairy" gains one more star.

　If these little fairies with zero attack and defense are not eliminated in time, then the final opponent will be the "super fairy" with a maximum of twelve stars.

　That "super giant fairy" lived up to its name, standing a full twelve meters tall. Its head was rather cute, but its body below the neck was inflated into a round shape like a balloon, with its four arms and legs growing out of the sphere, so short that they couldn't even hug its belly.

　It has a pair of dragonfly wings on its back and holds a short, colorful magic wand in its right hand.

　After completing the fusion, Professor Lily was extremely excited. She raised her hand and shouted, "Super Giant Fairy, use Fairy Bounce!" The enormous Super Giant Fairy slammed its body onto the ground, and the next second its massive body was launched into the air, instantly shrinking in the audience's view.

　Just when the audience thought it would disappear, it suddenly reappeared, grew larger and larger, and slammed down on Herald's head!

　Herald's expression changed drastically, and he quickly lifted his feet.

　Fortunately, he possessed immense physical strength and an incredible ability to accelerate instantly. With a single stomp, he leaped away, dodging the crushing attack of the "Super Great Fairy."

　If he were hit by that, not only would his health points plummet instantly, he suspected he would be crushed.

　as predicted.

　He had just dodged away when the spot where he had been standing collapsed completely, which was terrifying.

　Many of the little fairies he replicated were also directly killed by the "super fairy".

　But he had neither "Fairy Fusion" nor "Great Release." The three-star offerings were of no use to him. So the little fairies died and that was that.

　Herald immediately gave the remaining fairies the order to attack Lily, and then grabbed another magical spirit he had just summoned and charged forward to create distance between himself and the "Super Fairy".

　The magical spirit he just summoned is named "Beastman Prophet". "Beastman Prophet" is a six-star magical spirit of the Psychic/Fighting type, and its special summoning condition is that there is at least one Beastman on the field.

　Herald himself is an orc, so he can summon it directly.

　The other core ultimate skill of this "Orc Prophet" is "Prophet's Omen," which, in short, randomly selects three cards from your deck. Then, it checks each of these three magic cards one by one. If it can guess the name of one of the magic cards, it can add it to its hand.

　If all three cards are in the middle, then you should collect all three.

　During this process, "Prophet's Omen" will temporarily sever the connection between the Archmage and the three Magic Cards.

　Even if a mage acquires a magic card, they cannot determine its name through magic perception.

　But Herald had another way of finding out the names of those magic cards. He soaked all the magic cards in the deck in different potions, so that each magic card would emit a different potion scent.

　With its keen sense of smell, it could naturally discern the names of all the magic cards. This time was no exception.

　Herald immediately put the three magic cards into his hand, and while preparing to dodge, he took out one of them to summon.

　The small, slender "orc prophet" was perched on his shoulder.

　The Orc Prophet also possesses a powerful finishing move called "Preemptive Guidance," an incredibly powerful attack that Herald considers his top secret. But now, the time has come when he absolutely must use it.

　[Preliminary Guidance] allows Herald to temporarily ignore the rules of magical summoning and directly summon an "Orc" magical spirit, with an effect range up to nine stars.

　The price is that you have to offer a double-star sacrifice after 300 seconds. But 300 seconds is a full ten rounds.

　If a duel has to drag on beyond the tenth round, then it's practically a foregone conclusion.

　Herald used "Preliminary Guidance" to directly summon the nine-star magical spirit "Behemoth" from his hand.

　"Behemoth Berserker" has a body twice the height of a normal Behemoth. Its ultimate move, "Berserker's Curse Armor," can drive it into madness, increasing both its attack and defense. It also gains additional recovery ability after its magic power drops to half.

　Its mana regeneration ability increases as the remaining mana decreases.

　Herald cannot command the berserkers who have gone mad, but he can designate targets in advance.

　He ordered the "Behemoth" to attack the "Super Fairy," while he himself rushed toward Professor Lily.

　The "Behemoth Berserker" is a numerically superior monster, especially after activating the "Berserker's Armor." It can even withstand attacks from a typical twelve-star magical spirit without difficulty.

　Judging from the appearance of the "Super Fairy", Herald did not have any particularly outstanding offensive capabilities.

　Therefore, after handing the "Super Great Fairy" over to the "Behemoth Madman," he temporarily put it out of his mind.

　That enormous magical spirit looks incredibly tough and difficult to kill; there's no need to waste time on it.

　Herald ran while observing.

　Then, to everyone's astonishment, they discovered that Professor Lily was sitting in the air, playing a recorder.

　The vertical flute was as white as jade, and its unique shape made it unforgettable.

　"Akato Dragon Fang Flute!"

　Herald's knowledge was indeed vast; he recognized it at a glance. It was none other than the Dragon Fang Flute of Arcato, the "Dragon of Time"!

　But the records about the Arcato Dragon Tooth Flute are quite terrifying; how on earth did this little goblin manage to forge it?

　As they spoke, the sound of the flute emanating from the "Akato Dragon Fang Flute" had already spread throughout the entire venue.

　The flute's melodious and clear sound captivated the listener, making them feel as if they were wandering through the river of time.

　As the flute music continued, one after another phantom appeared around Professor Lily.

　The phantoms gradually became clearer, their movements slow yet terrifying. They were the magical spirits summoned by one of the contestants in the previous duel.

　In a localized area around Professor Lily, it was as if time had reversed, light and shadow had reappeared, and the number of magical sprites seemed to increase.

　Herald was stunned for a while before hurriedly continuing to draw cards and summon. The first round had already passed.

　Both sides have acquired two new magic cards.

　As expected, "Behemoth Madman" blocked "Super Great Fairy" and was not instantly killed by it.

　Herald summons the nine-star magical spirit once again – "King Kong Poison King". "King Kong Poison King" is an extremely rare steel + poison type, and its race is an ape-beastman among demi-humans. Its skin is suddenly cast as if it were made of steel, and is exceptionally hard. However, its fangs and steel claws contain deadly poison, and its ultimate move "King Kong Poison" is an extremely wide-range poison-type ultimate move.

　Behemoths are naturally strong and have extremely high resistance to poison.

　Even if Herald were to dive directly into the poisonous fog, he would not be poisoned for a short time.

　But the little fairy is different.

　Poison and Steel types are both super effective against Fairy types.

　It's impossible for a little fairy to remain unaffected in this poisonous fog.

　As soon as the "King Kong Poison King" materialized, it opened its blood-red maw and spewed out a deep green poisonous mist.

　The poisonous mist sprayed towards Professor Lily at an extremely high speed, and then spread further throughout the entire area.

　Professor Lily stopped playing, covering her mouth and nose with a look of disgust. Herald had already charged forward.

　He didn't want to win by brute force, but the situation forced him to do so. However, facing his fierce attack, Professor Lily flew backward as if riding the wind, without letting his punches touch her.

　Moreover, while covering his mouth and flying backward, Lilijiao pressed the button to summon a new magical spirit.

　What she was using at that moment was a sacrificial summoning spell!

　And what she offered as a sacrifice were the phantoms that appeared because of the "Flute of the Dragon Fang of Arcato".

　Unbelievable, incomprehensible. Just like the existence of the goblin race. The sound of the "Akato Dragon Fang Flute" still echoed. Poisonous mist filled the arena.

　The little fairy emanated a faint glow, but there were indeed signs of being corroded by the poisonous mist.

　Professor Lily, under Helar's pursuit, completed the sacrifice to summon a new magical spirit, which appeared beside him.

　It was a little fairy of similar height to her, but with butterfly wings.

　The Twelve-Star Fairy Species – [Didi Maxwell]!

Chapter 1562 The Thirty-Two Teams of the World Cup (4k)

　"What exactly is that?"

　Others were not as knowledgeable as Herald and could not understand the existence of the "Akato Dragon Fang Flute".

　However, those magical spirits that reversed time and reappeared as "phantoms" were clearly magical spirits that had just appeared in the previous duel.

　Even if the audience can't understand it, they will never forget the appearance of those magical elves.

　Before each magical duel begins, the duel arena is cleaned and repaired to prevent the remnants of the previous duel from affecting the next one.

　But Professor Lily did it anyway!

　Under the effect of "Akato Dragon Fang Flute", the magical spirits from the previous battle not only appeared in this battle, but were also used as sacrifices for summoning, which really affected the duel.

　"Cheating……"

　someone blurted out.

　But most people didn't have time to think about these things; their gazes were instinctively focused on the twelve-star magical spirit that had just been summoned.

　"Didi Maxwell!"

　The magical sprite was lively and charming, and upon its appearance, it emitted a familiar playful laugh, showing no signs of its usual dullness.

　It is about the same height as Professor Lily, but its appearance and temperament are completely different. If Professor Lily is the epitome of cuteness and mischief, then Professor Didi is the epitome of elegance, beauty, and arrogance.

　The nature of fairies is very similar, but their outward appearances are all different.

　For example, some people are "mischievous" in some ways, while others are cunning and calculating, keeping their true nature hidden.

　Professor Lily clearly belongs to the former category, but Professor Didi... doesn't entirely belong to the latter.

　After all, she never hid her "pranks" in the past.

　"professor……"

　In the players' lounge, Darke subconsciously glanced towards Professor Kazel.

　They then noticed that Professor Cazell was staring intently at the field, looking extremely focused, and also with a hint of astonishment.

　Dark was fairly familiar with the "Didi Maxwell" magic card. But he knew Professor Kazel was certainly more familiar with it than he was. Of course.

　It's also immediately apparent that this magic card is fundamentally different from the "Didi Maxwell" card that Professor Lily once showed us.

　First and foremost is that extraordinary spirituality that is immediately apparent.

　Secondly, there was the magic wand it held. "Thunderous Might!"

　Professor Lily's "Didi Maxwell" originally did not have "Thunderous Might".

　On this point, Dak was absolutely certain he couldn't be mistaken.

　"Thunderous Divine Might" was a magical artifact from the old era, capable of summoning lightning with a single swing.

　If the user possessed strength similar to Professor Lily or Professor Dee Dee, the forbidden spell unleashed by "Thunderous Might" would possess the might of the Thunder God. Dark had heard Professor Kazel and Professor Lily recount some of their past adventures.

　Although it's not obvious now, Professor Lily was the "brains" of that adventure team.
