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

　Ru can use the "Mist Field" to close the gap between him and Professor Lily in terms of "Trickery".

　Once the effects of transformation are lost, the duel becomes a contest of strength.

　And this is Dark's chance to defeat Professor Lily!

　However, "foggy fields" also have drawbacks, mainly because it is difficult to expand the field to the extent of coverage.

　Furthermore, the opponent has a counter-field card, making it relatively easy to remove. In addition, once the Fairy Mist spreads out, the area it covers will also become Professor Lily's domain.

　She will undoubtedly thrive in this situation, making it impossible to guard against.

　However, there is a gap in skill between the two sides, and attempting to overcome the odds inevitably carries risks.

　Dark believes that Professor Lily will most likely not choose to dispel the fairy mist, but will instead dance in the mist.

　He momentarily withdrew his gaze from his hand and looked up at the person opposite him. Professor Lily was radiant, her spirits high, and her excitement was palpable.

　—She even started humming a song softly! Of course, that's a good thing.

　A silent Lily is definitely more terrifying than an excited Lily. He would naturally prefer to face the latter.

　[Battle Phase]

　[30s] "Beep!"

　Turn switch, battle begins!

　Dark silently chanted a Normal Summoning Spell, and summoned the Spellweaver Card "Devimon" from his starting hand!

　Now he can Mega Evolve "Devimon" into its Perfect forms, "Pride" and "Elysium," without needing "Sin Cards," which are the Nine-Star Magical Spirits.

　Therefore, there is no space to exploit between summoning and evolution.

　Once evolution begins, the light of "Devimon's" evolution will form a pillar of light, providing a protective defense.

　Not only is it not afraid of being interrupted, but it can also temporarily serve as a defensive shield. As for pure mental evolution without using "Pride Power" or "Bliss Power", it can only evolve into "Devimon" at the Champion level, and is rarely used.

　In this duel, he did not choose to use "Devimon" as a transition, but instead chose to Mega Evolve, evolving it into the nine-star Magical Monster - "LadyDevimon"!

　Although [LadyDevimon] is not a Fairy-type, it possesses the "Elysium" property, allowing it to thrive in its current environment.

　Moreover, it is now nighttime, and the power of darkness is much stronger than during the day, so she should be able to perform better.

　When LadyDevimon completes its evolution, Dark's Normal Summon cooldown will be ready, allowing him to immediately summon a second time.

　This time, the summoning target he chose was naturally "Elysium? Misty Field"!

　Summon "Mist Field" and first shroud yourself and "LadyDevimon" in fairy mist to guard against Professor Lily's preemptive trick.

　—The implementation of this plan has been quite successful.

　Dark could clearly sense a corresponding change in Professor Lily's emotions. The existence of the "Misty Field" was no secret.

　When Professor Lily saw the fairy mist spreading, she realized that her next steps would be futile. Therefore, she decisively stopped, her cheeks puffing out like a hamster's.

　She was eager to have some fun with Dark on this dueling platform. But Dark said he didn't want to.

　Professor Lily did not seem to draw the "Akato Dragon Fang Flute" at the beginning of the duel; instead, she summoned a fairy-type creature called "Lost Beast".

　"Lost Beast" is only a three-star magical spirit. However, its ultimate move "Lost Realm" has an extremely high order judgment, which can put most magical spirits into a "lost" state, causing them to temporarily lose their sense of direction and become confused about front, back, left, and right.

　The effects of this abnormal state are incredibly powerful.

　For example, when a magical spirit releases a projectile-type special attack forward, it may become confused about its surroundings after entering a "lost" state, and suddenly release the special attack backward, thus slapping the special attack directly onto its own master's face.

　Of course, there's a higher probability that it will miss.

　But as long as there's a possibility of a blunder, very few people are willing to gamble on this.

　Moreover, the first time you get infected, it's often impossible to defend against.

　However, the casting range of the three-star magic spirit is indeed not that far; it needs to fly closer before releasing "Lost Realm".

　This provided time for the "fog field" to be deployed.

　Now that "Lost Realm" is no longer effective, the function of "Lost Beast" is largely rendered useless.

　Professor Lily summoned a spell card as her second summon – [Wonderful Mountain Transformation]

　This "Wonderful Transformation" card was originally called "Mass Transformation," and it's a fairy magic card that can temporarily transform targets within range into random animals!

　Well, how should I put it? Although this magic card is called "Transfiguration," it really only changes the appearance; everything else remains the same, and the change in size is barely noticeable.

　Dark often refers to these types of magic cards as "party cards." As the name suggests, they are magic cards used to liven up the atmosphere at parties. Of course.

　He had no desire to be turned into a little rabbit or kitten in a public duel.

　It's so great that they have set up a "foggy venue"!

　After the effects of the first two magic cards were nullified prematurely, Professor Lily finally threw a little tantrum.

　She flapped her wings and leaped backward, her entire body disappearing instantly into the suddenly gathered moonlight.

　Darke raised an eyebrow and activated his "Eye of Truth," his eyes turning golden in an instant.

　He was certain he could track Professor Lily, but he couldn't see what she did after disappearing into the moonlight.

　This is the limitation of Dark's "eye of truth".

　Unlike the "Eye of Truth," "Eye of the True Dragon," "Eye of the Fairy," and other eyes that are born with a living being and possess the inherent function of an eye—to see the appearance of things clearly—it does not.

　It sees through the inner self, and only the inner self.

　Therefore, Dark can only use the "Eye of Truth" to locate her, but cannot use it to spy on Professor Lily's actions.

　In magical duels, this is actually quite fatal.

　However, as long as Dark can pinpoint the location, he can glean insights into the opponent's emotions and make some adjustments.

　In her "Eye of Truth" observation, Professor Lily was flying across the halfway point at an extremely fast speed, heading towards the "Misty Field".

　A normal person would first try to dispel the "fog field" at this time.

　But Professor Lily was unconventional. She put away her "Wonderful Transformation" and ignored the "Lost Beast," plunging into the "Misty Field" and darting through it like a fish.

　—Don't assume that she will leave any trace as she moves through the fog.

　She possesses the ability to become ethereal, passing through walls and ignoring obstacles—this is merely the basics. Professor Lily, who had been throwing a tantrum, also stopped laughing; her ever-echoing laughter ceased.

　If it weren't for the "Eye of Truth," he wouldn't have sensed her approach at all. Dark's vigilance was heightened to the extreme, and he maintained his position behind "LadyDevimon," forming a straight line with Professor Lily.

　He wouldn't underestimate the combat power of a little fairy in its true form.

　Although Professor Lily usually appears soft and cuddly, and her small body is exceptionally cute, the individual strength of these fairies is actually quite considerable. Moreover, their control over magic is at the high-ranking demon level, making it easy for them to use magic to further enhance their power.

　If you're fooled by the little fairy's appearance, you're only a thought away from being smashed into a cookie.

　Dark decided to strike first.

　After a brief exchange with LadyDevimon, the latter's left claw swiftly transformed into a dark spear, its shaft wreathed in dark power, granting it enhanced penetrating power. Furthermore, it was imbued with "Dark Poison," capable of converting an opponent's power into dark energy, which could then be detonated from within.

　At the same time, LadyDevimon raised her right hand in the mist, and dark purple flames gathered in her palm, from which fire bats flew out and gathered in greater numbers.

　It cannot see Professor Lily; it can only locate her through a mental connection with Dark.

　But for area-of-effect "Dark Waves," you don't need to worry about that; just release it in the general direction.

　A portion of the fairy mist was burned by the dark fire.

　Swarms of fire bats, trailing long purple flames, rushed toward Professor Lily like fireworks.

　Dark's gaze was fixed on Professor Lily, observing how she would respond. But just as the "Dark Wave" was about to strike, the "Professor Lily" he saw suddenly split in two!

　""Fairy Phantom""

　The thought had barely formed when it was instantly rejected. Dark's eyes widened suddenly, a sense of unease rising within him. The "fairy illusion" could not escape the "Eye of Truth."

　Although it possesses some of the abilities of the true form, enough to deceive the eye, before the "Eye of Truth," the real is real, and the fake is fake; there is absolutely no confusion between truth and falsehood.

　At this point, Professor Lily has indeed gone from one to two. Both sides of Professor Lily are "real"!

　"Crash!"

　The "dark wave" passed through the middle of Professor Lily, who had suddenly split in two.

　Beneath the mask of "LadyDevimon," an eyebrow twitched, and the five fingers of her right hand instantly closed, strengthening her control over "Dark Waves."

　The swarm of fire bats immediately split in two, flying back from both sides and closely following the two Professor Lilies.

　But Professor Lily was incredibly fast, and the "Dark Wave" slowed down after going back and forth, making it impossible for her to catch up.

　A sense of impatience suddenly arose in LadyBeast's heart.

　Its body suddenly turned to the left, and its left hand thrust out the dark spear without restraint, forming a pincer movement with the swarm of fire bats attacking from behind, trapping Professor Lily on the left.

　But suddenly, a ball of pink energy, like cotton candy, appeared in the void, rapidly increasing in number until it instantly enveloped the dark spear, slowing its advance and rendering it powerless to continue.

　LadyDevimon exerted its strength suddenly, but to no avail. "This is real."

　This thought suddenly flashed through its mind.

　On its other side.

　Instead of confronting Professor Lily directly, Dark didn't immediately engage her in direct combat. Instead, he placed the newly summoned "Black-eared Beast" in front of him, prompting it to evolve. With the fusion of psychic power and the power of bliss, evolutionary light emanated from beneath the "Black-eared Beast's" feet, a pillar of radiance that stood in his way.

　But Professor Lily on the right merely turned slightly, as light as a butterfly, and bypassed the "Black-eared Beast's" evolution beam, continuing straight towards Dark. Her speed and agility, swift as a flash of light, were undoubtedly true...

　With his mind and spirit focused, Dak's aura suddenly surged, like a lion, like a king, as he clenched his right fist and slammed it out.

　—"Beast King Fist"!

　"Roar!" A lion's roar suddenly appeared, deafeningly loud.

　When the energy and momentum combine, they transform into the shape of a lion, vast and mighty.

　It is even more ferocious than the "Lion Beast".

　It is even more upright than "Fighting Leomon".

　Even a nine-star magic elf would find it difficult to withstand this punch!

Chapter 1617 Darkdemon's Divine Move (4k)

　BOOM!

　The figure of the little fairy suddenly appeared in the void where the "Beast King Fist" hit.

　A golden-pink shimmer appeared in that instant, blooming into dazzling flowers in the air.

　At the crucial moment, Professor Lily pointed her finger, and the flowing light emanating from her fingertip finally blocked the sudden "Beast King Fist"!

　A look of surprise appeared on her face, but then she was immediately filled with excitement and joy, and in a flash she disappeared.

　But this time the invisibility lasted for less than half a second.

　When she reappeared, her aura had subtly changed. And from her right shoulder, a soft, pink, ghost-like creature emerged, wrapped around her right arm, its head positioned in front of her palm. Suddenly, it swelled and grew larger, then opened its mouth to bite at Dark.

　From the cotton candy ghost, Dark finally sensed a more distinct aura belonging to a magical spirit.

　But it wasn't originally on Professor Lily's shoulder.

　Furthermore, upon closer inspection, one can discover subtle differences in Professor Lily's clothing details, hair length, and lip color when she is wearing the Marshmallow Ghost costume.

　"This is a fake!"

　In the instant his thoughts synchronized with LadyDevimon, Dark finally understood. The Professor Lily before him, with the marshmallow ghost attached to her shoulder, was the "false body," while the Professor Lily who had just shattered the "Beast King Fist" with a single finger was the "real body."

　In the mere half-second it took for her to vanish, the "real body" and the "fake body" switched places.

　And now, the "true form" should be in front of "LadyDevimon"! His perspective suddenly shifted, and sure enough, he saw Professor Lily, without the Cotton Candy Ghost on her shoulder, appear in front of "LadyDevimon" and also in the encirclement of "Dark Lance" and "Dark Wave".

　But Professor Lily suddenly chuckled and, like a phantom, passed through LadyDevimon's body, disappearing from its front to its back. The swarm of fire bats immediately charged towards LadyDevimon. [Dark Spear] clashed with [Dark Pulse]!

　The change was too fast for LadyDevimon to keep up with, so she could only unleash her full power to shatter that half of the Dark Wave.

　And at the same time.

　Professor Lily, with the marshmallow ghost attached to her shoulder, ignored the "dark fluctuations" coming from behind. The marshmallow ghost grew bigger and bigger, and was now big enough to swallow Dark whole!

　"boom!"

　The "dark wave" struck from behind, but Professor Lily's "illusion" did not flinch at all. The swarm of fire bats crashed into her back as if they had hit a steel plate, exploding one by one and turning into sparks that scattered in all directions.

　"Unbreakable defense!"

　At that moment, Darke finally realized that Professor Lily's "false body" was indeed a magical elf.
