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

　Duelists will also be careful to destroy fusion materials to prevent "fusion" from happening again. "...

　Pandora initially gained the upper hand during the duel, but these advantages were destroyed by "Fusion Undo". Professor Harvey seized the opportunity and launched a counterattack, preventing Pandora from successfully performing [Fusion].

　Pandora sought opportunities amidst her disadvantages and successfully turned the tide with the help of a new "fusion".

　But Professor Harvey activated "Unfusion" once again!

　Pandora's mindset was slightly affected by being interrupted by "fusion release" at crucial moments several times in a row, but she did not waver because of it.

　However, the pressure from Professor Harvey is very real, and it cannot be ignored simply by maintaining a stable mindset.

　However, the duel is not over yet, and nothing is certain.

　Pandora's journey has not been without its setbacks; she has also faced moments of devastation and triumphs.

　Therefore, although she gradually fell into a disadvantageous position, she remained calm and collected, constantly observing Professor Harvey's actions, looking for the moment when a flaw would appear.

　Professor Harvey then took the opportunity to create a weakness.

　Pandora did not take the bait at first.

　However, as the situation worsened, her health dwindled, and the pressure mounted, the weakness gradually shifted from the shadows to the open, becoming glaringly obvious and unchanging before her. It was as if it were proclaiming that it was her only chance of victory.

　Finally, even though she knew it was a flaw that Professor Harvey had deliberately created, she had no choice but to go for it!

　At the last moment, she seized the opportunity and successfully fused and summoned "Fallen Sky Ultimate Dragon". The instant the fusion was successful, she transformed it into "armor" and put it on!

　Transforming the white dragon into an armored form is a special ability he developed himself, unrelated to magic and unaffected by "fusion release".

　Having bypassed the "fusion release" in this way, Pandora launched her final offensive!

　Her jet-black hair turned pure white the instant she took her first step.

　The power of the white dragon erupted to its limit.

　Its entire form transformed into a pure white spear, which instantly passed through the gaps between those terrifying and powerful undead and suddenly appeared in front of Professor Harvey!

　As a necromancer who has neither become a lich nor made many modifications to himself, Professor Harvey's true form is his biggest weakness.

　When he controls all the undead to launch a full-scale offensive, this weakness will be magnified to the extreme. But the greater this weakness, the more dangerous it becomes.

　Pandora had long anticipated that Professor Harvey would be prepared.

　But at this moment, she had been forced into a desperate situation. If she could not seize the weakness deliberately revealed by her opponent and turn the tables to break through his defenses, she would be completely out of options and have no chance of victory left.

　Unsurprisingly.

　But when she suddenly appeared in front of Professor Harvey, the professor himself only took a small step back.

　That small step turned into an insurmountable distance.

　Countless skeletal hands suddenly emerged from beneath his feet. These pale, withered skeletal hands gathered together like a bouquet of flowers, bursting forth and blooming in an instant, transforming into a tragically beautiful shield of white bones.

　"boom!"

　Pandora's spear, imbued with all its power, was so formidable that even a twelve-star magical spirit would struggle to block it. How much less so the bone shield, hastily unleashed.

　The shield of bones only slowed its advance for a moment before being pierced by the spear, which continued its charge!

　But after breaking through the bone shield, what appeared was not Professor Harvey's face, but a beautiful bone shield that bloomed like a flower of bones!

　The bone hands that emerged from beneath his feet seemed endless, converging and blooming in an instant.

　Professor Harvey took a slight step back each time, leaving just the right amount of space for the bone shield to bloom.

　Between the gun in Pandora's hand and his body, it was as if there was an unbridgeable river of time.

　Countless bone shields bloomed one after another, gradually diminishing the power of that spear, ultimately making it as if sinking into quagmire, unable to advance an inch.

　Pandora suddenly stopped, her body completely embedded in the bone passage formed by layers of bone shields.

　Several twelve-star immortal beings turned around in that instant and unleashed powerful finishing moves at the creatures behind them.

　"boom!"

　She was already aware of the terror of those twelve undead races, which is why she took this risky move and decided to give it a try.

　—Even if she dies, she will die on the path of attack!

　【End of battle】

　Pandora's health points dropped to zero in that instant.

　Professor Harvey won the battle and advanced to the third round of the winners' bracket, which is the winners' bracket final!

　After that, he will face Professor Jones to determine the winner of the winners' bracket. However, before that, he has already secured a place in the top three of the World Cup squad, becoming one of the final three players selected for this World Cup.

　The stadium erupted in applause.

　Pandora entered the player tunnel, paused briefly, then sped up and returned to her player lounge.

　After the second round of the winners' bracket concludes, the competition will move on to the next stage.

　Next up is the evening session.

　Before the evening session begins, spectators can enter the venue to eat. Athletes, however, are required to eat in the athletes' lounge, just like during lunchtime.

　This rule made her feel slightly unhappy.

　After losing to Professor Harvey, she was somewhat upset and needed someone to help her relieve her depression.

　Although that person also lost in the previous duel...

　The thought of this made Pandora even more distressed.

　Losing to the professor isn't shameful, but if she could, she would certainly prefer to win.

　Unfortunately, the gap does exist, and she was not so arrogant as to think that her efforts in just six years could offset the professors' lifetime of learning.

　No matter what you say, I'm still not reconciled!

　In the fourth round of the losers' bracket that evening, she will face the winner between Mavis and Professor Cazell.

　She hopes to have another battle with Professor Cazell!

　Another players' lounge.

　Dak also let out a slightly regretful sigh.

　Although I initially felt that Pandora would have a hard time defeating Professor Harvey, given Professor Cazell's precedent, what if something unexpected happened?

　But the result remained unchanged.

　In this duel, Professor Harvey not only used a variety of "fusion releases", but also brought out the "immortality" of the Undead to the fullest extent, and even demonstrated the means of sealing off the opponent's "graveyard", which was simply the nemesis of the "Golden Kingdom".

　Dark felt a chill run down his spine at the thought of what would happen if he used the "Golden Kingdom" to fight it. Although the system that could fuse and summon the eighteen-star "Fallen Undying God" was powerful, its stability was highly questionable.

　Given that the system had already been exposed, Professor Harvey's decision to change tactics was a perfectly normal and correct choice.

　His victory was a comprehensive triumph in terms of tactics and strategy, rather than simply a crushing defeat in terms of raw power.

　It can only be said that Pandora's loss was not unjust.

　Dak wanted to say a few words to his senior to comfort her, but he was unable to do so due to the competition rules.

　Next, he must prepare for his next duel. His next opponent will be the winner between Professor Lily and Quintina.

　He personally prefers Professor Lily, but if Professor Lily doesn't take things seriously, it wouldn't be surprising if she loses to Quintina.

　If Quintina wins, his pressure will be much less. After his last encounter with Quintina, he has basically figured out her strengths and weaknesses, and he should be able to do better in their next match.

　But if Professor Lily wins... Professor Lily in the evening session is, to put it mildly, a bit tough.

　The only saving grace was that his Eye of Truth was special enough. Even when Professor Lily vanished into the moonlight, he could still catch a faint trace of her.

　Instead of being completely in the dark and unable to see anything.

　dinner time.

　Dak ordered some easily digestible, high-sugar foods to replenish his brainpower.

　Having quickly resolved the dinner issue, he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began practicing the "Netherworld God Technique."

　I sat there for half an hour.

　When he opened his eyes again, the evening game was already in the warm-up phase.

　On the stage, several guests were invited to "chat," and the interesting stories they told attracted the attention of many viewers.

　Some guests would also take the initiative to talk about their adventures, some of which touched on "miracles," which aroused the audience's endless curiosity.

　But of course they couldn't reveal more detailed information in this public setting, and the brief "casual chat" left people wanting more.

　But the band had already taken to the stage.

　Next up will be the opening performance for the evening session.

　Dark examined himself and felt that his magic and energy had returned to their peak, and his physical and mental strength were also quite sufficient. He then began to make final preparations for the match, with Professor Lily and Quintina as his hypothetical opponents.

　The rousing music echoed throughout the venue, and the first round of the evening session finally began.

　This is the third round of the losers' bracket.

　The first match will be between Professor Lily and Quintina.

　Professor Lily, who fluttered her wings and floated onto the dueling platform, yawned wearily.

　This makes one worry about her condition. But Quintina did not relax her efforts in the slightest.

　She also watched the entire duel between Dark and Professor Jones, and between Pandora and Professor Harvey, which raised her understanding of the strength of the professors at St. Marian College to a whole new level.

　Although this little imp professor appears tired and listless, who knows if she'll undergo a spectacular transformation once the battle begins?

　Quintina calmed herself and waited for the duel to begin.

　She wasn't afraid that Professor Lily would disappear into the moonlight; Zeus, the "god," would guide her.

　In short, given Professor Lily's demonstrated abilities so far, her chances of winning are not small.

　Because Professor Lily's strongest trump card so far, which is very subtle, is a twelve-star fairy named [Didi Maxwell].

　Quintina naturally knew that Diddy Maxwell was a former professor at St. Marian College, and even a dean of a division.

　—Although Professor Lily is also the head of the Magic Academy.

　However, the dean's prestige was greatly enhanced by Professor Jones's presence.

　She essentially assumed that Professor Didi was a powerhouse on par with Professor Jones.

　Therefore, that magic card called "Didi Maxwell" must be extremely powerful.

　However, the weapon used by [Didi Maxwell] is the electric artifact "Thunderous Might"!

　"Thunderous Divine Might" is an ancient divine artifact.

　To put it bluntly, it's the staff used by a certain Thor. "Zeus" told her that the robe had some recollection of that staff.

Chapter 1611 Moonlit Fairy, Cage of Mischief (1)

　Chapter 1611 Moonlit Fairy, Cage of Mischief (7000)

　The "Zeus" within Quintina's body is merely a fragment of divine consciousness, possessing incomplete memories.

　In this case, the staff that can still leave an impression on it is mostly related to it in some way.

　Even if the weapons wielded by the magical spirits are merely replicas of the originals, this connection will not be severed.

　"Thunderous Divine Might" is, after all, a divine artifact.

　After the Age of Gods arrives, its power will only increase further. And Zeus, through this connection, may be able to easily interfere with the power of thunder, preventing it from exerting its influence, or even seizing control of it.

　If the connection is deeper than imagined, for example, if Zeus was originally one of the masters of "Thunder God's Might" throughout history, then even if Zeus did nothing, "Thunder God's Might" might still cease to exist.

　Without "Thunderous Might," the strength of the "Didi Maxwell" magic card would be halved, rendering it unable to pose a threat to Quintina.

　Therefore, Quintina was quite confident in defeating Professor Lily.

　With both contestants ready, the duel quickly entered the combat phase.

　The duel that would set the stage for the evening's matches finally began.

　The first duel of the third round of the losers' bracket: loser eliminated, winner advances! Professor Lily had already perked up once the duel began. She took this duel quite seriously, and her seemingly tired and listless appearance... was just normal.

　She didn't undergo a spectacular transformation; she simply focused her attention and took the duel seriously.

　Quintina, wielding the "Thunderhawk of Zeus," the "Spear of Thor," and the "Sacred Oak," is a formidable opponent.
