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

　Just when everyone thought Dark Dimon was bound to lose.

　Umbreon, which lasted longer than expected, finally exhausted its last drop of magic power while frozen in ice.

　then.

　Where its body dissipated into magic, a pinkish aura lingered and condensed into a palm-sized vortex.

　The vortex grew from insignificant at first to enormous in just three seconds.

　A brand new magical spirit has materialized from it!

　……

　"what is this?"

Chapter 498 Darkdemon's demeanor is never inferior to others (4k)

　【寒霜魔盾：冰霜巫妖释放魔力制造八个寒霜魔盾与自身相连，使得防御扩展之后提升25，在战斗中受到攻击时减少25所受伤害，对近距离接触的对手造成微弱的霜冻伤害。104;116;116;112;58;47;47;119;119;119;46;50;99;121;120;115;119;46;99;111;109;47;】

　With the support of "Underworld Ice Ring" and "Frost Scepter", the damage reduction of "Frost Magic Shield" is increased to 50, and the defense derived from "Frost Lich" is also increased to 50, which is a defense value of 3000.

　It was thanks to the damage reduction effect of "Frost Shield" that "Frost Lich" was able to withstand a sword strike from "Sin Blue-Eyes Drake" and "Milky Rush's" fourth roll.

　But when faced with the Milk Can's fifth "roll," even the seemingly indestructible "Frost Shield" could no longer hold!

　"boom!"

　The massive crash of the giant milk tank against the "Frost Shield" was like a thunderclap, sending chills down the spines of the nobles watching from above.

　The "Frost Shield," which reduced damage by a full 50%, suddenly developed countless terrifying cracks.

　The Frost Lich, who was fully unleashing "Evil Gaze," suddenly trembled violently, its eyes flashing with a cold and evil light, and the orb on its "Frost Scepter" emitted wave after wave of icy blue ripples.

　However, the damage from the giant milk tank's "roll" attack exceeded 10,000 points. Even after a 50% reduction, it still shattered the "Frost Shield" instantly.

　It carried a violent storm as it crashed through the shattered fragments of the magic shield, rolling forward with its last remaining momentum, and slammed into the side of the "Frost Lich" with a "bang"!

　The Frost Lich let out a piercing scream, the eerie light in its eyes instantly shattered, and its entire pale, alluring body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

　Without the "Frost Shield" buff, it only has 2000 points of defense left. Even the last bit of strength left by the big healer can't withstand it.

　The magic power it had absorbed from the "Lion Beast" plummeted in an instant, and when it fell again, it was left with only a sliver of blood.

　Finally freed from control, the "Lion Beast" suddenly rushed out with lightning speed. A flash of cold light appeared, and the sword light drew a straight line in the air, instantly slicing across the "Frost Lich's" delicate neck.

　As magic erupted, the Frost Lich's body began to fade at a visible rate.

　As the seven-star magical spirit was about to leave the arena, a ruthless glint flashed in Angus Jeffrey's eyes on the contestant platform, and he was already chanting "Sacrifice Summoning".

　The "Mystic Cards" placed on the card table shone with a faint light.

　The ritual that had been placed on the "Frost Lich" beforehand finally took effect as its body disintegrated.

　The collapsing magic of the "Frost Lich" suddenly converged to a single point, forming a tiny vortex.

　Then the vortex exploded instantly, unfolding a huge magic circle on the ground.

　The "Frost Scepter," which floated in the air without breaking, naturally became the core of this magic circle.

　A faint, mysterious sound arose, rapidly rising from a low murmur to a high pitch, eventually becoming extremely piercing.

　The lion beast standing nearby felt a chill and, without hesitation, swung its sword back to strike.

　As his wrist rotated, sword light rained down, each strike hitting the "Frost Scepter" floating in the air.

　Given the strength of this "Frost Scepter," it was undoubtedly shattered on the spot.

　However, the magic circle beneath it did not stop operating.

　The light emanating from the magic circle flashed frequently, becoming increasingly dangerous.

　Faced with this sudden burst of terrifying energy, the big milk jug rubbed its hands together and produced a bottle of milk.

　Then it hurled the milk at the lion beast.

　"Moo!"

　The lion took the milk and opened the bottle cap, ready to drink it.

　But the explosion had already occurred.

　That was a massive explosion that affected the entire site!

　The lion beast's already dwindling magic power vanished instantly.

　The giant milk tank turned around and hugged the blue magic ball, using its broad back to shield it from the impact of the explosion.

　The single sword sheath shot straight into the sky from the blast wave, escaping danger once again.

　Jeffrey's "Ice Eagle" flew high in the sky, protecting the red team's magic ball.

　The "Ice Statue of Liyuan" simply stood there and used its ultimate move, "Gargoyle," transforming itself into an ice statue like a gargoyle, relying on the damage reduction effect to survive.

　等到爆炸结束。

　All that remained on the ground were the towering milk tank and the "Liyuan Ice Statue" with its surface covered in cracks.

　Immediately following, without the slightest gap.

　Jeffrey's summoning salutation has already begun.

　"In the name of Angus Jeffrey, a sacrifice is made to summon—the 'Glacier Giant Ape'!"

　The "Liyuan Ice Statue" and "Liyuan Ice Vulture" instantly transformed into light and rose up, merging with the light released from the six-star magic spirit card to form a huge sacrificial summoning circle.

　The magical spirit materialized from the sacrificial summoning circle let out an angry roar, its massive body crashing to the ground and causing a tremor.

　It was a giant ape that seemed to have been resurrected from the Ice Age. Its body was covered in grayish-white fur, and its massive body, as big as a small mountain, bulged out with hard muscles.

　It pounded its chest with both hands, producing a deafening roar.

　Card Name: Glacier Giant Ape

　[Type: Spirit Card]

　【grade:】

　[Race: Bird-Beast]

　[Type: Ice/Normal]

　【Magic Power: 2500】

　[Attack: 2800]

　[Defense: 2800]

　[Ultimate Skills: Death Charge, Glacial Roar, Berserk]

　"Giant Ice Ape, Death Charge!"

　Angus Jeffrey, his expression icy, raised the "Giant Ape" magic card high and roared.

　The magical sprites on the field have now been completely cleared.

　Only the heavily wounded Big Milk Tank and the "Giant Ape" remain.

　However, the giant milk tank, which has unleashed all its special moves, could never become an obstacle for the "Giant Ape" to launch an attack.

　The spark of victory was already gleaming in his eyes!

　But the dark golden light that extinguished the flames suddenly swirled around the spot where the lion beast had fallen, and an aura of "arrogance" burst forth.

　Gatomon, who inherited Leomon's will, landed lightly in the light of summoning.

　The "single sword sheath" that had just taken to the air suddenly made an excited clattering sound, and then, relying on its own will, it turned around and flew straight into Tailmon's palm.

　Gatomon clenched its five fingers together, gripping the hilt of the sword, and a terrifying aura instantly erupted!

　Its eyes narrowed slightly, and it charged towards the "Giant Ice Ape" that was unleashing the "Death Charge" with vigorous dance steps!

　The air currents emanating from beneath his feet spiraled upwards, swirling around his body and converging on the "holy sword" in his hand.

　With each step it takes, a new vortex of air is generated beneath its feet, and its aura rises accordingly.

　By the time they faced off against the "Giant Ice Ape," their momentum had reached its peak.

　The raging air currents that soared to the sky made its petite body appear majestic, and the "single sword sheath" in its hand emitted a sharp edge that could cut through anything.

　The "Giant Ice Ape," which launched the "Death Charge," was equally impressive, unleashing a jet-black aura from its body that shot backward. Its eyes were dark and deep, and its face was as ferocious as a demon.

　But facing such a terrifying behemoth, Gatomon showed no fear on its face, but rather a hint of excitement.

　It licked its lips, suddenly leaped up, and as its body soared into the air, the longsword was swung out at an extremely precise angle, instantly slicing through the "cross".

　The airflow emanating from the sword extends the blade to its maximum extent.

　A giant "+" symbol suddenly erupted.

　The "Giant Ice Ape" launched a true "death charge," its massive body crashing into the top of the "X," its thick flesh melting away and leaving a terrifying "X"-shaped wound.

　The Gatomon's body passed right through the wound, then it stopped its momentum, sheathed its sword, flipped itself to the ground, and took a few steps forward to dissipate the force.

　It steadied its steps, turned around, and looked back.

　Then they saw the enormous body of the "Giant Ice Ape" continue forward with the momentum of its "Death Charge," before collapsing face-first without any warning.

　The giant milk tank, holding the blue magic ball, quickly adjusted its position.

　"Boom!"

　It was as if mountains were collapsing and the earth was shaking.

　Milk Tank nervously peeked out from the cross-shaped wound on the "Giant Ape".

　The giant beast's body, lying on the ground, gradually transformed into magical starlight, dissipating in all directions.

　In the ensuing silence, Gatomon glanced sideways at the red Magic Ball in the air and suddenly drew its sword!

　[Life Barrier: 2801→0]

　……

　The glow of light and darkness shimmered on the ground.

　Scattered sword light drifted in the sky.

　A few seconds later, a sudden burst of discussion erupted in the circular corridor.

　The nobles, who had just thought that Dark Dimon's ability to duel with Angus Jeffrey was already quite remarkable, now seemed to be venting all their inner impulses, shouting wildly like beans being poured out.

　The once tranquil and elegant clubhouse was instantly transformed into a noisy marketplace, with all sorts of sounds lingering for a long time.

　At this moment, Angus Jeffrey, who had already played all his cards but still lost, finally couldn't hold back his expression and revealed a gloomy and terrifying look.

　Several noblemen behind him stepped forward to try to comfort him.

　Some people glanced at his back and then looked curiously at Dark Dimon across from him.

　People always favor the victors.

　Phyllis Raman crossed his arms and pondered silently.

　Unlike the Jeffrey family, the Raman family has not yet stated its position at this time.

　As the only daughter in her family, Phyllis often worries about "choosing the wrong side".

　What she saw in Dark Dimon was the future of the Dimon family's enduring strength.

　With such a successor and the long-lived Valkyries, the Dimon family will likely gradually replace those ancient families with deep roots and become the most terrifying pillar of the kingdom.

　These families of councilors, who, despite wielding power, are ultimately inferior to the top powers, have to consider a very real problem.

　That is:

　Even if the eldest princess falls, will the Valkyrie fall?

　This is also a question that the Rahman family has been pondering.

　Similarly, even if the eldest prince falls, the Holy Church that supports him behind the scenes probably won't fall.

　This makes people even more hesitant.

　"Let's wait and see. Father said that the Demon King's execution ceremony in the middle of this month will likely have a profound impact on the future of the Holy Church."

　Phyllis narrowed her eyes and, like the others, looked at the Duke's son opposite her.
