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

　.

　Suddenly.

　Thick, bloody light emanated from its body.

　A blood-red pillar shot into the sky from its center, turning the sky above the arena a dark red color.

　The sudden dimming light caused Espeon to squint, and the red gem on its forehead quickly faded.

　But BlackGatomon gradually became excited in this dimly lit, reddish environment, and the "Holy Sword" in its hand was already itching to fight.

　move.

　It was not satisfied with merely killing a lizard infected with dragon blood.

　Amidst the many gazes, a crimson moon then appeared above the dark red blood curtain that obscured the sky!

　That crimson full moon, radiating a blood-red light, exuded a chilling and terrifying aura.

　Staring at it for too long feels like your soul is being sucked away, and a chill runs through your body.

　……

　"It's a field technique?"

　Dark Dimon added the two magic cards he had drawn in this round to his hand, his brow furrowing slightly.

　With Black Gatomon wielding a "single sword sheath" by his side, he wasn't too worried about Tom Nixon's sacrificial summons.

　But this summoned six-star magical spirit seems to be unexpectedly powerful.

　This kind of ground-changing technique is not something that ordinary magical spirits can master.

　"The moon that fills the sky?"

　He lowered his head and glanced at the magic card in his hand.

　The two new magic cards I acquired are:

　Sylveon

　[Magic Secretary]

　One four-star magical spirit, and one two-star magical spirit.

　Sylveon is perfectly suited to the terrain altered by the Moonlit Sky.

　However, to summon a four-star magical spirit through sacrifice, you must have one one-star magical spirit and one three-star magical spirit, or two two-star magical spirits.

　However, Dark had neither enough offerings in his hand nor in the field to make a sacrifice.

　Unless a four-star magical spirit is used as a sacrifice.

　However, the three four-star magical Pokémon on the field all have uses that are no less than those of "Sylveon". If Dark only covets "Moon Power", which has twice the power under moonlight, then it's unnecessary.

　"Then let's keep it for now."

　Dark glanced at Shuttle, who had already used three ultimate moves. With the three-star Shuttle and the two-star "Magic Secretary," he had prepared the offerings to summon a five-star magical spirit.

　If I draw "Leomon" in the next round, the first "Hero" can be deployed!

　……

　The entrance and special attack of the "Blood Moon Wolf" took a long time.

　Instead of taking the opportunity to attack, Dark used the time to think.

　The 30-second countdown for the seventh round quietly passed.

　With the seventh round about to end, Tom Nixon, who had also completed his card draw, finally raised his head and gave the order to attack the "Blood Moon Wolf"!

　"Blood Moon Wolf" suddenly lowered its head, its dark red eyes sweeping across the field. It paused briefly on the "scabbard" in Black Gatomon's hand before turning to the nearest Espeon, letting out a roar of disgust.

　Then it exerted force with its feet and stomped hard, crushing a corner of the "blood platform," and its entire body fell naturally from above.

　When it landed on the ground with its body hunched over, it was less than twenty meters away from Sylveon.

　The two magical spirits, "Sun" and "Moon," suddenly locked eyes not far apart, both of their gazes brimming with murderous intent.

　"Hachi!"

　The Blood Moon Wolf opened its gaping maw, saliva dripping from the corners of its mouth.

　It dripped onto the ground.

　"Tick."

　In that instant, it was as if I heard the starting gun.

　A storm of blood swept beneath the feet of "Blood Moon Wolf," and its body transformed into a crimson arrow that shot fiercely toward Espeon.

　But Ibrahimovic remained fearless, even showing disdain in his eyes.

　"Ouch!"

　The distance between the two sides instantly closed

　It got as close as five or six meters.

　A fierce bloodlust gleamed in the Blood Moon Wolf's eyes, and its raised right claw blazed with crimson light, its sharp, knife-like nails appearing especially terrifying under the blood moon's glow.

　"Dilibien!"

　The Espeon, with its near-perfect timing, suddenly let out a soft cry.

　Between it and the Blood Moon Demon Wolf, a golden light suddenly appeared from nowhere.

　The golden orb of light, which had been delayed by 30 seconds and seemed to have traversed time and space, exploded instantly in front of the "Blood Moon Demon Wolf"!

　That moment.

　The Blood Moon Wolf's eyes were wide open to their limit, with only confusion surfacing deep within them.

　Tom Nixon, the player on the blue team, slammed his hand on the card table, making his palm ache.

　"It's that attack again, like a great prophecy!"

　Zach Wilson on the commentary stand immediately let out a loud shout, and the audience gasped in surprise.

　Angus Jeffrey looked up and glared at Zach Wilson from the ring road.

　But Zach Wilson certainly couldn't have noticed his tiny glare in the crowd.

　The burst of "foresight" forcefully blasted back the "Blood Moon Demon Wolf," whose momentum had reached its peak.

　Its once smooth, long fur was now a mess from being fluffed up.

　When it stood up in a disheveled state, the feeling it gave was completely different.

　If the wolf was a terrifying, bloodthirsty monster a moment ago, it is now at most a red husky with rabies.

　……

　"Eevee, come back."

　As he gave the command, Dak Dimon reached for his cards.

　"Tick!"

　The eighth round has arrived.

　Upon receiving the order, Ibrahimovic immediately returned to the red side area to regroup.

　Dark, on the other hand, pulled out a new magic card.

　"Lionmon, Lionmon!"

　Lion Beast

　Blink Spell

　The "Lion Beast" answered his call and appeared in his hand.

　Dark was overjoyed and immediately began to summon the "Magical Secretary".

　The "Magic Secretary's" magical spirit identity has been exposed, and the method of summoning it directly in the air is no longer feasible.

　However, it is a "fairy" without a fixed form. When other magical spirits are present, especially Shuttle, you can simply summon it by placing it on Shuttle's back.

　The summoned "Magical Secretary" immediately retreated into the pot's shell.

　Thus, the offerings for the five stars have been prepared.

　"Leomon" is Dark's only five-star Magical Spirit card and is highly trusted.

　While waiting for the CD to finish, Dak glanced up and saw Tom Nixon, with an unpleasant expression, also beckoning.

　However, what he summoned was not a magical spirit, but an "equipment card".

　"In the name of Tom Nixon, a magical summoning—'Wings of Evil Souls'!"

　A ray of black light burst from the card and shot fiercely toward the "Blood Moon Demon Wolf".

　Then, behind the "Blood Moon Demon Wolf," two ghostly black wings sprouted, granting the "Blood Moon Demon Wolf" the ability to fly.

　……

　Dark suddenly realized that quite a few duelists seemed to be preparing this type of "equipment card".

　"Is it to chase after the magic ball in the air?"

　"Should I also prepare a magical spirit of this type?"

　The instant this thought flashed through his mind, he had already begun chanting the incantation for a sacrificial summoning spell.

　The nine-second casting time took up almost a third of the round.

　Later, because the summoning spell went on cooldown, there was a nine-second delay during which summoning was impossible.

　Therefore, duelists who are not fast enough at using sacrifice summons should indeed use it with caution.

　But Darke had complete faith in his magical spirit.

　Just as he entered the summoning state, his eyelids suddenly twitched, and he saw that above the "dark red sky", the "moon in the sky" burst out with a dark red beam of light, which poured into the body of the "blood moon wolf" from above.

　The "Blood Moon Demon Wolf," which had been weakened, was bathed in the light of the blood moon, and its ferocious and terrifying aura was rekindled and rose steadily.

　Then its limbs and joints changed under the moonlight, straightening up from their original hunched posture and transforming into a classic demon—a werewolf!

　Werewolves were originally a general term for werewolves among orcs.

　However, as the demonized werewolf pack among the demon race became increasingly notorious, the werewolves among the orcs were overlooked.

　When people mention werewolves, they think of the demonized werewolves among the demon race.

　Those are two species that are fundamentally different.

　The "Blood Moon Werewolf," after transforming under the Blood Moon, experiences a significant surge in its base attributes. It is even comparable to a Seven-Star Magical Spirit.

　This is the main reason why Tom Nixon considered it his trump card.

　In fact, once the "Moon Over the Sky" is activated, this second-tier six-star magical spirit can be regarded as a third-tier seven-star magical spirit.

　"Ow—"

　With a long howl, the "Blood Moon Werewolf" unfurled its "Wings of Evil Souls" and pounced once more.

　This time, without the obstacle of "predicting the future," the "Blood Moon Werewolf" instantly flew across the halfway point.

　But at the halfway line, it encountered its opponent.

　Holding its "single sword sheath," BlackGatomon charged forward like the wind, filled with excitement at the prospect of battling a powerful foe.

　BlackGatomon's base stats are all inferior to "Blood Moon Werewolf". Only its attack power is quite close to its attack power thanks to the "Single Sword Sheath".

　Therefore, if it wants to fight against the "Blood Moon Werewolf", it can only "attack instead of defend", attacking to attack, and cannot be caught even once by the "Blood Moon Werewolf".

　This act, which resembled dancing on the edge of a cliff, only excited BlackGatomon even more.

　The clash between the longsword and the steel claws has begun!

　"Bang bang bang!"

　After three moves, the "Blood Moon Werewolf" that had transformed into a werewolf finally gained the upper hand.
