　"Yao Mi!"

　The dream demon raised the ribbon-like part hanging down in front of it, curled the front end into a fist shape, and threw a punch hard at the transparent jar filled with red liquid!

　"BOOM!"

　Even though it doesn't excel in physical attacks, Mismagius is still a five-star magical spirit with a full 2500 attack power.

　With that punch, the transparent jar was smashed to pieces without any doubt!

　In an instant, boiling red liquid gushed out from the broken surface, along with a large amount of steam.

　Suddenly, a long, alarm-like sound came from the jar.

　The dream demon blinked and looked up toward the sound of the alarm, but suddenly felt an extremely strong suction force coming from behind its head.

　It wanted to continue, but in a flash, it was back in the magic card.

　Dark quickly pushed into the passage and slammed the door shut.

　The next instant, the red jar suddenly exploded!

　"Boom!"

　The terrifying explosion echoed through the door and into the passageway, lingering for a long time.

　"The monsters and devices here seem to be very good at self-destruction."

　When the noise stopped, Darke spread his hands, looking completely innocent.

　……

　In the depths of darkness, in the last room.

　Numerous pipes lead to this place from all directions, and the condensed red liquid flows out of the pipes, slowly flowing into the pool filled with red liquid.

　One side of the pool was pressed against the wall, and the flowing liquid was as red as blood.

　On the wall it was pressed against, two iron chains as thick as arms hung down from both sides, and a humanoid figure with disheveled hair and armor was suspended in the middle of the chains, with only its dangling feet submerged in the pool.

　The red liquid in the pool flowed upstream along the long, sharp, claw-like toes, was absorbed by the skin, and nurtured the human form.

　As the jar in the first room shattered, the red liquid in one of the pipes gradually stopped flowing, and the liquid flowing into the pool decreased, leaving only dripping water droplets.

　The humanoid figure seemed to sense something and trembled violently.

　Then everything returned to calm, with only the liquid still slowly flowing out of the other tubes.

　……

　Dak continued onward.

　The strength of the monsters in the first room can give a rough idea of ​​the overall strength of this BOSS "dungeon".

　It's unrealistic to expect to clear the way solely with Gatomon and Leomon.

　Although magical spirits are the type that can fight continuously as long as they have magic power, they can still experience symptoms such as "mental exhaustion" if they engage in high-intensity battles continuously in a short period of time.

　Moreover, Dark's magical spirits possess intelligence and feelings just like humans.

　Rotating other magical spirits as the main combat force is the right way to maintain sustainable progress.

　As Dark moved forward, he had already retrieved the slow-moving Pot Pot into his magic card.

　Shortly afterward, he walked out of the passage and into the second room.

　The second room is almost identical in architectural style to the first. However, there are no stone statues on either side, and the platform with the transparent jar is not at the end, but in the very center.

　Centered on the platform, four pipes extend from the ceiling in four directions and connect to the jar.

　Looking left and right, you can see four entrances, including the one behind you.

　Clearly, this is a "crossroads," and there are several paths to choose from.

　"Go straight, turn left, or turn right?"

　Three choices. Dark looked at the cat beside him.

　When faced with a situation where it's impossible to make a judgment based on the available information, leaving it to the Greedy Slime or Meowth, who have an exceptionally keen sense for treasure, to decide is a good option.

　Meow Meow had been playing with the dagger all along, but suddenly swung it fiercely in one direction.

　The wind blades that burst forth from the "Gale Dagger" struck the human body from three meters away.

　"boom!"

　A humanoid monster shrouded in white cloth suddenly leaped out of thin air. The white cloth on its chest had been torn by wind blades, revealing a pale and withered surface.

　Although the white cloth is too large and flat to resemble a mummy, it does seem to be one.

　"Mummy Stalker!"

　Dak immediately became alert.

　"Ready to fight!"

　……

　But Leomon and Gatomon reacted much faster, rushing out from the left and right respectively.

　Dark took a breath and commanded the Phantom Bug to use "Phantom-Breaking Eye"!

　As the eye-like ripples spread rapidly, all the "Mummy Stalkers" within a dozen meters were exposed.

　There are only about ten of them.

　But this hall is over fifty meters long and wide.

　Dark reached out and touched several magic cards in his hand, then immediately summoned them.

　"In the name of Dark Demon, a magical summoning—'Ball-Ball Sea Lion'!"

　"Momo!"

　The Ball Ball Sea Lion has smooth, moist blue skin, a pure white tip on its mouth, and an unusually pink, spherical nose.

　It also has a light blue collar around its neck, which is extremely cute.

　But instead of picking it up and petting it as usual, Dark immediately issued a command: "Maximum range, 'Enchanting Voice'!"

　The mummy stalker will break out of hiding when attacked.

　Besides special moves like "Illusion-Breaking Eyes," wide-range offensive special moves can also make it visible.

　With "Wet Voice" as its passive ability and "Enchanting Voice" as its ultimate skill, Popplio can unleash a super-wide-range water-attribute attack.

　"-"

　It rose up with a clear, melodious call.

　With the passive enhancement of "Moist Voice", "Enchanting Voice" transforms into layers of water ripples, which spread rapidly like a layer of ripples, covering the entire hall in the blink of an eye!

　Even the "Mummy Stalker" at the farthest distance could not escape the effects of the "Enchanting Voice" and appeared one after another.

　A rough count revealed more than forty.

　Dark continued summoning after the interval.

　"In the name of Dark Demon, I summon—'Renamon'!"

　Although the "Mummy Stalker" is a four-star undead, its attack and defense are actually not very high. If we were to quantify them, they would even be lower than the top three-star level of 1500 points.

　However, they possess the characteristic of "not stiff even after death" and have high movement speed and agility unlike mummies.

　Even a three-star "Renamon" and a three-star "Meow Meow" are sufficient to deal with this type of magical spirit.

　After summoning Renamon, Dark ordered Leomon and Gatomon, who were full of fighting spirit, to withdraw.

　Then, the fox-like beast engulfed in blue flames and the meow-like creature wielding the Gale Dagger took over the battlefield.

　"mo!"

　Suddenly, the sea lion grabbed Dark's trouser leg and pointed to the top of its head, barking loudly.

　Dak looked up and saw a unique mummy stalker clinging to the ceiling pipes like a spider!

　The moment their eyes met, the mummy stalker, which had been as silent as an inanimate object, could no longer restrain itself and suddenly swooped down from the sky.

　But Leomon's tall figure immediately blocked Dark's path.

　Faced with the sudden attack, it raised its right fist and unleashed the "Lushan Rising Dragon Fist"!

　The raging lion-shaped energy wave, now under its control, altered its trajectory, roaring and surging upwards before violently crashing into the mummy stalker's corpse.

　"boom!"

　The mummy stalker displayed a defense higher than usual. Only its chest was caved inwards, rather than torn apart.

　It stood up immediately after being blasted away, and then charged forward fearlessly!

　"At least five stars!"

　A thought struck Dak, and his gaze suddenly shifted. He noticed that among the forty-odd mummy stalkers, several were similar mummies that were difficult to distinguish from each other in appearance.

　While Renamon and Meowth can handle four-star Mummy Stalkers, what if there are five-star special individuals mixed in...?

　"careful!"

　In the blink of an eye, a special individual had already infiltrated the group and launched a sneak attack on Meow Meow.

　Even when hit, the cat sensed the emotion from its owner and immediately withdrew its right hand to block with the dagger.

　"boom!"

　The dagger was knocked away and spun in the air.

　The special individual, seizing the advantage, didn't let up and opened its claws to fiercely scratch Meow Meow's face.

　Meow Meow's already half-closed eyes narrowed into slits, and its right paw reached out to grab the special individual without showing any weakness.

　The claws of both sides twisted in some invisible way the moment they made contact.

　With a mummy's brain, it would be impossible for it to understand why its power had suddenly disappeared.

　Meow Meow used "Fraud" to steal its power, then suddenly pulled it and slammed it to the ground, crushing its head with a stomp!

　But what flowed out of the head wrapped in white cloth was not a foul-smelling black liquid, but a bright red liquid as red as blood!

　However, just as Meow Meow was showing a smug expression, the headless special individual suddenly raised its hand to grab its ankle—in that instant, a long, narrow green leaf shot out, and its hands were simultaneously pinned down!

　The fox beast swept past it without even glancing at it. The leaves formed by the "Fox Leaf Wedge" floated around it, only launching attacks at crucial moments, which allowed it to move with ease amidst the encirclement of the four-star mummy.

　"Fox Strike!"

　Suddenly, the foxmon spotted one of the special individuals and rushed over at almost instantaneous speed, tearing its chest apart with its sharp claws enhanced by its ultimate attack!

　The difference of two full stars seems to have no effect.

　Or perhaps it's simply that monsters like the Mummy Stalker are countered by its fighting style... In fact, this is precisely why Dark summoned it.

　Unless absolutely necessary, Dark does not intend to continue using "Elysium III" to evolve it.

　The current BOSS room is clearly more complex and larger than he initially expected, so he'll save money wherever possible.

　Dark's current deck lineup is already quite powerful in actual combat, but his endurance is actually limited.

　He turned his attention away from Renamon, glanced at the special individual that had been crushed by Leomon, and continued to observe Renamon and Meowth's performance.

　Compared to Renamon, Meowth is at a disadvantage. After its "Fraud" skill goes on cooldown, it becomes difficult to damage specific individuals.

　On the contrary, the fox beast was able to effectively strike these weakly defended five-star mummy stalkers.

　But it didn't last long either.

　With both "Fox Leaf Wedge" and "Vine Eight Fists" entering cooldown, Renamon gradually fell into trouble.

　After a quick assessment, Dark instructed, "Transform."

　The fox-like beast nodded slightly. During a break in the battle, it put two fingers together, and light condensed at its fingertips, quickly forming a green leaf—just like the leaf used by a tanuki to transform.

　It placed the leaf on its head, its eyes fixed on the special mummy that was about to pounce, then suddenly turned its head to look at the lion beast guarding Dark's side.

　The next moment, light flowed around the fox beast, and its originally slender body suddenly expanded and changed, transforming into the appearance of the lion beast in the blink of an eye!
