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

　"Truly worthy of Dark!"

　Teddy Doron sighed for what felt like the umpteenth time.

　Diana silently cheered for Dark in her heart.

　The fierce competition in the preliminary rounds has continued until now, and although the situation is becoming increasingly intense, the top positions have become clearer.

　Winnie Skadi, a descendant of the Winter Sage, ranks first.

　Stuart Fern, a third-year student in the House of Nobles and the son of a meritorious baron, ranked second.

　Tom Nixon, a third-year student at the Fools' House and a half-breed born in the slums, ranked third.

　After that, it was the competition between a dozen or twenty contestants.

　Darko Dimon is currently in the correct position.

　It ranks sixth, and could be overtaken by others at any time.

　The points advantage built up by bullying the younger players in the early stages is being quickly caught up.

　"It seems that we won't be able to beat the game using only Devimon in the last ten minutes."

　Dak's mental energy gradually focused.

　His fingers swiped through his card pack, and he finally gave up on "Gatomon" and prepared to let "Leomon" see the world.

　The "Lion Beast," who has never been on the battlefield, desperately needs some experience.

　Moreover, he could already sense that Devimon was about to die...

　Many of the third-year students were already looking at Devimon with impatience.

　The elusive "Devimon," lurking like an eel in the arena and relentlessly slaughtering babies, has already garnered countless acts of malice.

　It's time to switch to a new magical spirit and let the righteous Leomon cleanse the eyes of the upperclassmen.

　Dark silently began summoning the "Ball-Ball Sea Lion" and the "Wrestling Eagle Man," preparing to offer them as sacrifices.

　It was probably because he hadn't made a move for almost twenty minutes since the start of the match. Therefore, the area around him was completely empty, with no magical spirits nearby at all…

　The sacrificial summoning went very smoothly. The "Leomon" that emerged from the sacrificial summoning circle knelt on one knee, looking righteous.

　The appearance of this charismatic magical elf brought Dark Dimon back into the spotlight.

　In particular, the city lord of the Free City, Montilfali, was instantly drawn to the warrior whose "heroic aura" was overflowing!

　Tall and imposing, exuding domineering aura, brimming with justice, and upholding gentleness.

　Regardless of the specific characteristic, it's a perfect shot aimed directly at Lord Montilfari.

　Compared to that Devimon, this Leomon is the complete opposite!

　This reminded Lady Montilfali of her deceased husband. Although he was not tall, he was remarkably similar to this lion-like beast in his righteousness and gentleness.

　But why would a magical sprite create such an impression at first glance?

　A warrior's instinct brought Lord Montilfali back to her senses.

　Her gaze toward the lion beast was filled with doubt again.

　"Mom, don't you think the sword in Devimon's hand is a better match for this big lion?"

　Aurora's casual remark.

　This made her gaze serious.

　……

　If Gatomon's "brave talent" is understated yet profound.

　Leomon's "brave talent" is outwardly displayed and flamboyant.

　Its ultimate skill, "Heart of Justice," makes it seem as if it has its own halo of justice. Even just standing there, it inspires trust in people without them even realizing it.

　……

　Want to practice?

　A sound suddenly rang out from a distance, reaching Dark's ears.

　Dark turned his head and saw Mary Bond, a senior from the second year of the Noble Academy, extending her hand and provoking him with her index finger.

　With her hair styled in a single ponytail, the clean-cut and dashing Ma Li was quite famous in the academy.

　But Dark's impression of her came from the Halloween event when she kicked Scott's three-eyed squid away.

　The subtle violence, the clean and efficient handling of matters, and the unwavering confidence in one's own strength are all very captivating.

　"Is that a Fighting-type Magical Spirit?"

　When Mary saw Dak turn around, she crossed her arms and laughed.

　The magical elf standing beside her was a tiger-man dressed in a blue cloth robe!

　……

Chapter 382 The Lion of Darkdemon (13.5/233)

　Is challenging someone to a one-on-one duel during the preliminary rounds really in line with Ma Li's style?

　达克?迪蒙轻点「咒笼：小恶魔兽」的魔导卡，因为「傲慢3」的效果消失而退化的小恶魔兽便返回到了魔导卡中。104;116;116;112;58;47;47;119;119;119;46;50;99;121;120;115;119;46;99;111;109;47;

　This annoying demon species finally disappeared from everyone's sight.

　But just when they thought the sword in Devimon's hand was about to reach its limit, it suddenly moved.

　The single eye in the center of the hilt quietly opened, and the ribbon emerging from the end of the hilt gradually lengthened, its end branching out like fingers.

　It did not exhibit any obvious characteristics of a magical spirit; it simply flew quickly to Dark Dimon's side and stood in mid-air.

　Dark did not reach out to grasp it, nor did he equip it on the Lion Beast.

　The increased attack power of weapons such as swords and knives is primarily dependent on the weapon itself.

　Even if Leomon is equipped with the "Single Sword Sheath", its attack power will not increase if it still attacks with its fists.

　Now that Senior Sister Ma Li has publicly invited him, Dark has no reason not to accept the challenge.

　"Leomon, are you interested?"

　The lion-beast stared intently at the tiger-man, then turned to look at Dark after a long while.

　Dark then said, "Berserk Tiger, a five-star magic-type spirit, Fighting type, with the fixed special move 'Berserk Tiger Fist'."

　As for magic attack and defense...

　The magic attack and defense of the same-named magical spirits are actually different and cannot be fixed.

　However, the "Berserker Tiger's" magic attack and defense should not be lower than that of the "Lion Beast".

　Both are bird-beast type, fighting-type magical spirits, and it's a battle between a lion and a tiger, so their stats seem evenly matched.

　But in reality, the question of who is stronger or weaker will only be known after the war.

　Leo stretched his limbs, his eyes gradually filled with fighting spirit, and nodded heavily to Dark.

　"Then fight!"

　……

　The two sides hit it off.

　Marie casually removed the blessing-like spell from "Berserker Tiger," allowing it to face Leomon in its most basic state.

　"Roar!"

　Upon receiving the command, the Berserker Tiger roared suddenly.

　The kingly aura then erupted.

　The lion suddenly stiffened and adopted a stance similar to Wing Chun towards the berserker tiger—a stance it had learned from the wrestling eagle.

　This gesture immediately gave people a very professional feeling.

　Ma Li's interest grew even stronger, and she immediately shouted, "Berserk Tiger, Berserk Tiger Fist!"

　The berserk tiger leaned forward and pounced fiercely, its claws touching the ground as it moved swiftly with all four limbs, as fast as lightning.

　Although the Berserker Tiger's intelligence level is only 2.0, which is typical for a magical spirit, Marie has always used it as a sparring partner. Even a pig develops a fighting instinct after prolonged training, let alone a magical spirit.

　Moreover, a spiritual connection had already formed between her and the berserk tiger, a sign that a "bond" was forming.

　Just seconds later, the Berserker Tiger had already rushed to the Lion Beast. It shook its limbs, leaped up, arched its back like a bridge, and gathered all its power from below to above. The tiger claws suddenly clenched into fists and smashed down hard on the Lion Beast's head.

　The Berserker Tiger moved so fast and nimbly that it was nothing like a stiff magical elf.

　Faced with its first major enemy since its birth, Leomon instantly retreated and made way for them.

　Then, when the Mad Tiger missed its punch, he calmly aimed a punch at its head.

　This punch was powerful and heavy, possessing the aura of a tyrant.

　At the last second, Mad Tiger dodged to the side, but was still hit in the left shoulder by a punch.

　It pounced down from above, but lost its balance. Upon landing, it took another punch, causing it to roll sideways and scream in pain.

　But just as the lion beast relaxed its guard, the berserk tiger, which had rolled a distance, suddenly flipped up again, and with a powerful burst of speed as it pushed off the ground with its hind legs, it fiercely grabbed at the lion beast's waist with its tiger claw.

　The lion beast couldn't dodge in time and took a direct hit from the claw, causing its magic power to drain away.

　But it didn't even flinch. Its huge fist came down from above and slammed into the back of the Mad Tiger's head, knocking it to the ground.

　The Berserker Tiger grunted, but managed to brace itself on the ground with its claws. As if on its own, the area below its waist swung wildly, and its tiger tail, like a steel whip, swept fiercely towards the lion beast.

　The lion beast reacted swiftly, reaching out with its left hand to grab the tiger, then adding its right, and with both hands combined, it pulled the tiger by its tail and swung it around so hard that the berserk tiger, which was lying on the ground, was lifted off the ground, spun around in the air, and crashed back to the ground.

　"Poom!"

　It was clear that the Berserker Tiger, which had been smashed to the ground, landed with its chin on the ground, its face instantly contorted.

　Even Dark hadn't expected that Leomon would gain such an advantage in this one exchange.

　However, after gaining the advantage, Leomon did not press his advantage but instead waited with great grace for the Berserker Tiger to recover.

　It stood with its hands behind its back, exuding an air of grandeur.

　……

　At that moment, two magical spirits suddenly flew over their heads, but neither of them looked down at them.

　The players who were still fiercely fighting clearly had a strong affinity for it.

　They had no interest in duels between themselves.

　Moreover, both Dark and Marley are strong contenders for the top eight, and most people would be happy to see them engage in a one-on-one battle in the free-for-all.

　Moreover, the players were actually quite interested in their one-on-one duels, and would occasionally glance in their direction while commanding their respective magical spirits in battle.

　……

　In just two breaths, Berserker Tiger had already stood up again.

　Under Ma Li's command, it rallied and began to build momentum.

　When the momentum reaches its peak, one suddenly takes a step forward.

　One step, two steps, three steps, each step increasing in intensity.

　As he took the third step, he leaped forward again, roared like a tiger, clenched his fists, and unleashed a lightning-fast punch.

　This time, however, he used his ultimate technique – "Mad Tiger Fist"!

　The lion-beast's gaze turned serious as it attempted to parry, but the "Mad Tiger Fist" emphasized the word "madness," unleashing punches like a storm, leaving no trace whatsoever.

　The lion beast could only cross its arms to block.

　The Berserker Tiger's punches grew faster and faster, eventually causing its arm to swell up.
