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

　However, the "Insect Demon's" core ultimate move, "Demon-Slaying Blade," has an extremely short cooldown, so having this move is enough.

　Charles's eyes widened, a faint red light flashing in them, as a portion of his consciousness entered the "Insect Demon's" body, taking control and manipulating it with meticulous precision.

　The "Insect Demon" reacted at an instant, its speed increasing dramatically. It lowered its mantis-like wings forward and slashed in a cross pattern, deflecting all the bullets aimed at it.

　"Astaroth's" bullets are not very powerful, and if they cannot penetrate the defense, it is a waste of magic power.

　But it fired only one volley before immediately turning its gun and sweeping towards the other side of the ruins. No matter how fast the "Insect Demon" was, it would take time to get close to it. Realizing it had been lured, it immediately changed direction and attacked the other side of the ruins, attempting to kill Charles and end the puppet match.

　Charles, multitasking, suddenly rolled over and appeared... appeared in front of the "Blue-Eyed Girl"!

　The "Blue-Eyed Girl" sat there leaning against a large rock slab. The suffocating atmosphere of the arena seemed to have no effect on her. She waited for Dark to win before casually stepping out to pose for a photo.

　To everyone's surprise, Charles suddenly did a lazy roll and rolled from the blind spot to right in front of it.

　Its eyes widened immediately, and it instinctively reached for the stone beside it.

　Although it was on the verge of death, its body weak and sore, it still managed to move slowly and had the strength to pick up a stone and throw it at someone.

　It knew perfectly well that the "Life Card's" shield offered no protection. "In a narrow encounter, the brave shall prevail!"

　In that instant, that sentence flashed through the "Blue-Eyed Girl's" mind. Before she could even react, she had already thrown the stone. "Thud!"

　Charles was hit on the forehead by a rock, which then fell away. His forehead was unharmed, but his health points were slightly reduced.

　The two stared at each other wide-eyed.

　The instant he was hit by the rock, Charles felt as if a thousand hedgehogs were howling through his mind.

　My heart felt like it was about to jump out of my chest.

　He almost, just a little bit, almost thought he was so wise that he would die at the hands of a dying magical elf. He was so close!

　His health points were almost gone!

　If the "Blue-Eyed Girl" hadn't been on the verge of death and unable to attack...

　Various thoughts flashed through my mind.

　Charles could almost imagine how his comically tragic death by being stoned would be circulated, perhaps becoming the biggest "highlight" of this World Cup, and even being mentioned in every World Cup that followed.

　But he did not die.

　Successfully avoided the death flag!

　This feeling of surviving a near-death experience, escaping death, and being a survivor... is fucking awesome!

　Charles rolled on the spot and quickly hid behind a large rock.

　His location has been exposed.

　A barrage of bullets rained down from "Astaroth".

　But the "Insect Demon" moved sideways in advance under his complete control, using his body as a shield to block the bullets pouring down from that direction.

　Charles sensed a spatial singularity at his feet. But another spatial singularity connected to it was near Dark.

　He saw it as a last resort and almost immediately summoned another magic card.

　As the black light flashed and disappeared, a new magical spirit appeared beside it.

　That's the three-star magical spirit—"Brotherly Insect," which has the ability to special summon the Nine-Star Insect Magic Card through hatching.

　Furthermore, it possesses another ultimate skill: the ability to absorb the souls of the insect demons and re-hatch them.

　It is a variant of "Monster Resurrection".

　Charles no longer has any Nine-Star Magical Spirit Cards in his hand. But he still has some in his "graveyard"!

　But more importantly right now, the "Brotherly Demon Worm" is stronger than the dying "Blue-Eyed Girl".

　Although he is not afraid of "Blue-Eyed Girl" under normal circumstances, who knows what other killer moves it has up its sleeve?

　While most special moves require mana to activate, who knows if "Blue-Eyes Girl" has a special move that doesn't require mana?

　Although he had done his research beforehand, and the "Blue-Eyed Girl" most likely didn't have this type of special attack, who knew if it would throw another stone at him?

　We can't gamble, we can't afford to gamble!

　After surviving his near-death experience, Charles fell into a state of fear of death that he himself could hardly explain.

　This is most likely caused by post-traumatic stress disorder.

　In any case, he used the "brood mother worm" as a shield and then let it hatch the "bee witch".

　He hadn't forgotten that Dark also had a nine-star magical spirit, "BlackMechanyTyrannomon".

　Although BlackMetalGreymon has unleashed all its special moves, it is still a formidable threat.

　However, through the eyes of the "Insect Demon," he had already seen the "Black MetalGreymon" returning to defend.

　"BlackMechanyGreymon" protected Dark from view by its massive size.

　The "Ant Demon's" upward momentum has reached its limit, and it will soon descend from above.

　Darko must get back on defense.

　Charles's confused thoughts suddenly became clear.

　Dark, using BlackMetalGreymon as a shield and Astarmon as a gun, is trying to end the match immediately.

　This means he has no cards left to play! Victory is assured, without a doubt!

　Once the "Bee Witch" was summoned, the situation was completely stabilized. Without the "God Card," what tricks could Darkdemon possibly pull? "The Valkyrie's Son, nothing special!"

　A loud "Boom!" was heard.

　The "Insect Demon" was kicked away.

　Charles's vision, which he had been relying on with the "Insect Demon," suddenly widened. He had just controlled the "Insect Demon" to approach the "Astaroth," forcing it to lower its gun and engage in close combat.

　Unexpectedly, "Astaroth" suddenly kicked upwards with a dark aura swirling around its foot, its power exceeding expectations, sending "Insect Demon" flying.

　The situation has been changing in a complex and unpredictable manner.

　But Charles kept his composure.

　He already held a "Bee Witch" egg in his hand, waiting for it to hatch by injecting magic.

　Meanwhile, the "Ant Demon" has already disappeared and is preparing its final, deadly attack—the "Storm Insect Blade".

　The power of "Storm Blade" is much weaker than "Destroying Insect Strike", and because it is not a melee physical attack, it cannot enjoy the attack bonus of "Exploding Shell".

　However, it is a wide-area ultimate move that can unleash a large number of insect-type wind blades, covering an area and leaving no escape. Charles originally intended for "Armored Ant Demon" to use "Storm Insect Blade" to indiscriminately kill after entering the Fairy Mist, but unexpectedly, "Armored Ant Demon" was immobilized by the ultimate move of a nine-star magic spirit.

　But now that the "Ant Demon" has descended with the power to kill gods, this ultimate move can no longer be stopped.

　He intends to kill Darkdemon and "BlackMechGreymon" together!

　"Roar--"

　The thought of victory being within reach resurfaced.

　Charles, through his vision of the "Insect Demon," saw that the elegant demon that had kicked it away suddenly spread its arms and let out a terrifying roar like a demonic beast.

　A chilling aura of darkness erupted as a massive magic array appeared.

　The "Astaroth" was instantly bathed in black light. The black light, mixed with blood, shot into the sky and coalesced into a pillar. A terrifying, suffocating, and oppressive aura spread continuously.

　A sudden "thump" rang in Charles's heart, urging the "Ant Demon" as if in a roar.

　"The chirping of insects—"

　"Ant Demon" let out a sharp, insect-like screech in an instant, releasing its ultimate attack just a hair's breadth away from the perfect distance.

　Ultimate move: "Storm Insect Blade"!

　Its carapace spread out like wings, and the air released from beneath the carapace suddenly surged. The wind and insect energy merged into blades, forming a curtain of rain in the air.

　next second.

　Countless insect blades shot down, covering the area around where Dark was located.

　"BlackMechanyGreymon" was too big and an obvious target. It was instantly bathed in "Storm Blade" and killed on the spot by this ultimate move.

　But after he turned to light upon death, Darkdemon's voice was no longer heard on that field.

　Dark took a single step and appeared on the other side of the ruins. But as soon as he appeared, he saw a dark shadow approaching from above and immediately raised his sword! However, Charles had anticipated that he would use the "Flash of Light" spell. The "Insect Demon" spread its wings in mid-air, forcibly stopping itself and rushing towards the spatial singularity ahead of time.

　Dark appeared from there, just what we wanted.

　He was not afraid at all. His aura suddenly increased, and the air flow rose from his feet, clinging to the sword and forming a vortex.

　Ultimate move – "Sword Dance"!

　The "Insect Demon" slashes its mantis-like wings vertically across its chest, simultaneously unleashing the "Demon-Slaying Blade".

　He was immediately stopped by the "single sword sheath".

　After successfully blocking the "single sword sheath," Dark did not engage in a fierce battle. Instead, he took advantage of the situation and quickly retreated, barely dodging the "insect demon's" heavy punches.

　Fighting against a nine-star magical spirit is not the best strategy.

　Moreover, it was a nine-star magical spirit under the mental control of its opponent.

　The "Insect Demon" missed its punches, but reacted quickly and pounced on the enemy.

　Its speed is extremely fast, which is an advantage.

　Now that we're so close, there's no way Dark can escape.

　Only by entangled with Dark could they prevent him from turning his attention to Charles's main body. This would also prevent Dark from being distracted by summoning new magic cards. Charles was not discouraged by this temporary setback.

　He could sense that the magical spirit evolved from "Astaroth" was very powerful, but he also had "Ant-Demon".

　Although the situation has changed again.

　However, as long as the "Insect Demon" can hold off Darkdemon, he can draw two new magic cards when the turn switches next, which is another advantage.

　Just in time.

　A seductive voice whispered in his ear.

　The moment the sound appeared, it pierced straight into my ear like a sharp needle.

　Before Charles could react, the voice had already invaded his mind.

　It was an intoxicating, seductive sound. It was a soothing, corrupting sound.

　That is the "Black Requiem" that can plunge the enemy into a deep sleep from which they will never awaken until death!

　On top of the area.

　The "Great Dracule" stood smiling, enveloped in a dark aura. It was ugly, ferocious, and terrifying.

　Beneath the vampire's human-like half-body lies a ferocious demonic beast resembling a three-headed hellhound.

　Its lower body is muscular and covered with short, scarlet hair. Each of its four limbs has a cluster of sharp claws at its joints. Its back has steel armor that looks like bones, and each of its two shoulders has a ferocious beast head made of steel, like a bullet.

　Its body is dressed in red, with blue shoulder armor and a claw-shaped mask. It has demonic horns on its head and bat wings on its back. The face under the mask is slightly square, but it is still elegant and weathered.

　Despite being ugly, vicious, and terrifying, it somehow possesses a captivating charm.

　This violent and ferocious magical spirit, upon its appearance, began to chant a requiem.

　Charles felt his eyelids grow heavy, his thoughts become muddled, and a sudden sense of dread washed over him. This was the "Black Requiem," which even he couldn't be immune to; how could his magical spirit possibly be immune?

　Sure enough, when we looked again, the "Ant Demon" was falling from the sky!
