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

　Starting from the toes of the "Frost Lich," the "tide" instantly froze wherever it surged, with layers of frost spreading wildly.

　Compared to the "Freezing Ray" of the "Frost Lich", the "Frost Burst" of the "Frost Lich" has a larger range and a stronger effect.

　Faced with this wide-range, all-encompassing freezing ultimate move, even if Cat Boss once again raised "Guard", he could not successfully resist it.

　Moreover, its chances of succeeding again are only one in nine.

　After one failed attempt, the cat leader knew that he could no longer escape.

　It suddenly lowered its body, wrapped its tail around the blue magic ball, and then flung it into the sky.

　The Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon, which is weak to Ice-type attacks, grabbed the Blue Team's Magic Ball and flew upwards.

　The sword sheath hesitated slightly, but also chose to fly into the sky to avoid it.

　Only Persian and Umbreon remained on the ground.

　Umbreon's eyes flashed with ferocity, and it suddenly opened its mouth wide, shooting out the "Shadow Ball" that had been condensing inside!

　However, the powerful "Shadow Ball" was instantly swallowed up by the surging icy torrent.

　Its eyes flashed with resentment, but it still could not escape the fate of being frozen.

　The countdown for the first round of battle flew by.

　When the "Frost Burst" subsided, the entire duel arena was covered with an extremely thick layer of frost and frozen soil.

　Nemoron and Umbreon were unable to withstand the "freeze" effect and turned into two motionless ice sculptures.

　After being frozen, the magic power of both magical spirits began to drop rapidly at a visible rate.

　Before long, their magic will be exhausted, and their vital signs will disappear.

　Although Dark Demon still had two magical sprites that escaped into the air to hide, the entire situation had changed dramatically.

　Angus Jeffrey, a fourth-year student, finally turned the tables.

　The group of noble scions, led by him, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

　If Jeffrey loses to Darko Dimon here, not only will Jeffrey lose face, but his usual "partners" will also lose face.

　"I knew it! How could Angus lose to a first-year student?"

　The noblemen patted each other on the shoulder, their expressions softening slightly.

　"It seems Jeffrey wasn't just focused on organizing factions at the academy..."

　Phyllis pondered this as well.

　Jeffrey now possesses a seven-star magical spirit, the "Frost Lich," while Dark only has a six-star dragon with an attribute disadvantage and a four-star magical spirit.

　No matter how you look at it, Jeffrey has the upper hand.

　In this situation, how can Darko turn the tide?

　Even in the secluded box, Prince Charles was drawn to the duel itself. But his gaze remained fixed on the single-edged sword sheath.

　However, Dak himself did not show the slightest bit of tension.

　The Frost Lich's power was expected.

　He had long been mentally prepared to make some sacrifices.

　The only unexpected thing was that the health of Persian and Umbreon dropped too quickly.

　After being frozen, the magic power of both magical spirits dropped rapidly at a rate exceeding one white point.

　The cat boss has a full 2,500 magic points. Although using its ultimate move consumes some energy, it can still last until the next round.

　Umbreon, on the other hand, is unlikely to survive.

　Once the magical spirit's magic power drops below 50%, it is extremely easy for the sacrifice summoning to fail when used as a sacrifice.

　It is now impossible to use Umbreon as a sacrifice to summon Gatomon, which is also a four-star monster.

　But if you want to use the cat boss as a sacrifice...

　Dark's only five-star magical spirit, "Leomon," was not acquired.

　Therefore, the best approach right now is to leave it alone!

　……

　Dark's eyes flickered slightly, then he pointed and manipulated the blue magic ball to fly back, before saying to "Sin? Blue-Eyes Young Dragon," "It's time, draw your sword!"

　A hint of madness flashed between the brows of "Sin? Blue-Eyed Young Dragon" as he reached out to grab.

　Upon hearing the command, the "single sword sheath" immediately "weaponized" and flew straight towards it.

　With a final flick of its five fingers, it grasped the hilt of the "single sword sheath".

　Suddenly, a powerful force surged forth from the "single sword sheath," circulating throughout his limbs and bones.

　Then, the surface attack of "Sin? Blue-Eyes Young Dragon" soared into the sky!

　As a six-star magical spirit, "Sin Blue-Eyes Young Dragon" can gain a full 1,800 points of attack power bonus!

　The final attack dealt 4,800 points, clearly far exceeding that of the "Frost Lich".

　With such a huge difference in attack power, attribute advantages and disadvantages seem insignificant.

　Of course, the "Frost Lich" is clearly not known for its offensive capabilities.

　The enhancements from "Underworld Ice Ring" and "Frost Scepter" are also at the magical level.

　But according to normal logic...

　A powerful finishing move like "Frost Burst" certainly can't be used continuously.

　Therefore, Dark made a decisive move, ordering the "Sin Blue-Eyes Young Dragon" to seize this opportunity and launch an attack on the "Frost Lich"!

　The blue-eyed dragon, born of "arrogance," was already impatient. Now, empowered by the "holy sword," it could no longer endure it and swooped down on the lich radiating cold energy.

　The closer you are to the ground, the lower the temperature.

　The elemental advantage made "Sin Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon" quite uncomfortable.

　But the continued existence of the "world of sin" actually gave it an advantage.

　"Sin? Blue-Eyes Young Dragon" rode the raging wind, wielding a sword with its dragon claws, and fiercely thrust at the "Frost Lich".

　But when faced with such an obvious attack, the Frost Lich, without the mage's command, tilted his scepter and activated his second ultimate skill – Frost Shield!

　The magic released from the orb at the tip of the "Frost Scepter" formed an octagonal ice shield around it.

　Then the eight ice shields rapidly expanded, linking together to form a complete ring-shaped defense. Even in areas not covered by the ice shields, defensive force fields appeared.

　"boom!"

　The sword of "Sin? Blue-Eyes Young Dragon" slammed heavily onto the ice shield.

　But the ice shield remained completely unscathed from the attack of 4,800 points. It merely trembled slightly before dissipating the impact.

　Seeing this, Angus Jeffrey, who had been on edge, immediately relaxed and sneered, "Frost Lich, now's the time! Frost Eruption!"

　In an instant, the gem on the "Frost Scepter" erupted once again with a terrifying surge of icy blue light.

　No one could have imagined that the "Frost Lich" would unleash a second "Frost Burst" without any interruption!

　"Is it the aura effect of breaking out of the coffin, or the special effect of that Frost Scepter?"

　A guess flashed through Dark's mind, but he remained calm and quickly issued an unbelievable order.

　"Azure smoke and young dragon, protect the sword."

　Protect the sword? Protect what sword?

　While the onlookers were filled with astonishment and doubt, the "Sinful Blue-Eyed Young Dragon" completely understood his command and swiftly carried it out.

　As the raging torrent of "Frost Burst" touched its scales, the "Sin Blue-Eyes Young Dragon" suddenly turned around, using its massive body to block the torrent for a moment, and then suddenly threw its sword, sending the "Single Sword Sheath" into the sky!

　Using this acceleration, the single sword sheath flashed past the people in the corridor and soared into the sky.

　This time, the "Frost Burst" released upwards completely froze the "Sin Blue-Eyes Young Dragon" and continued forward, forming a sheet of ice crystals that looked like they could be formed by ocean tides.

　So the only thing left that could still move on the field was the "single sword sheath" that was neither a sword nor a sword!

　"Tick."

　In the stillness created by the two consecutive "Frost Bursts", the thirty-second countdown for the fourth round is about to end.

　……

　[Battle Phase (5)][30s]

　……

　A new countdown appeared on the projection.

　Both players draw cards simultaneously.

　Although Angus Jeffrey thought the game was over, he still didn't forget to draw a card.

　Even as he was drawing cards, his voice, which had become completely calm, did not stop.

　"Frost Lich, use 'Frost Bolt' to attack the blue team's Magic Orb."

　Thus, from that "Frost Scepter," one "Frost Magic Bullet" after another condensed.

　Each "Frost Magic Bullet" is the size of a human head.

　Moreover, there is no gap when they condense.

　It's essentially the same as a "normal attack".

　Although its power is not high, it is effective because it is continuous and consumes little energy.

　This is the ultimate skill that comes with the "Frost Scepter"!

　The Frost Lich flicked its finger, and the Frost Magic Bullet shot towards the blue team's magic ball in the air at an extremely fast speed.

　Having regained control of the situation, Jeffrey then shifted from defense to offense.

　The Frost Lich was still surrounded by the Frost Shield, and it fired a continuous stream of magic bullets, like a machine gun.

　Despite his surprise, Dark did not hesitate to focus his attention on controlling the magic ball.

　He still wore the "magic ring" that Professor Kazel had given him for Christmas on his finger; it was a practical tool that helped him master "remote magic transmission".

　And that ability was fully unleashed at this moment.

　Despite the slight risk, the blue magic ball, under his control, perfectly dodged the "Frost Magic Bullet" shot!

　His face remained calm as he rapidly tapped his fingertips, causing the magic ball to move sideways in succession.

　Angus Jeffrey sneered inwardly at his behavior.

　"Pretend to be calm!" After a whisper, he suddenly raised his hand, and without continuing to summon new magical spirits, he also released magic power, which was transmitted into the blue magic ball from a distance, like a long rope pulling the blue magic ball, making it extremely difficult for Dark to control.

　A mage's remote control of a magic orb is affected by both the quality and quantity of magic power, as well as the distance.

　In other words, the closer the distance, the stronger the control capability.

　The blue team's magic ball had already been moved to the blue team's half of the map by Dakra, so its control over the ball was naturally superior to Jeffrey's.

　But Jeffrey's intervention still caused the magic ball to slow down drastically, as if it were covered with a layer of disgusting snot.

　As a result, Dark was even less able to focus on summoning new magic cards.

　Once he makes a mistake, Jeffrey will be able to take the fight.

　To outsiders, the only way to break this deadlock is that "single sword sheath".

　However, even with the "Sin Blue-Eyes Young Dragon" wielding the "Single Sword Sheath," it was still unable to break through the defense of the "Frost Magic Shield." How could the sword itself possibly do so?

　Once it gets close enough to be frozen, this sword will likely meet its doom.

　It seems that victory in this duel is already in Jeffrey's grasp.

　……

　"It's ultimately a fourth-grader versus a first-grader."

　"For a first-year student to achieve this level in a duel against a fourth-year student is already quite remarkable."

　"I never expected that the Valkyrie's son would become so outstanding after entering St. Marian Academy. I thought he would be a spendthrift..."

　Shh, watch out, the walls may be listening!
