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

　The Blue-Eyes Young Dragon suddenly shut its mouth, its claws shot out rapidly, grabbing the Shadow Demon's fist as easily as taking something out of a bag. Then, it pulled and twisted, coiled itself around the dragon, and slammed its elbow out.

　"boom!"

　The Shadow Demon's power was dissipated, and it suffered a heavy blow to the chest, immediately letting out a painful groan.

　The Blue-Eyes Young Dragon pressed its advantage, and despite being haunted by the evil spirits, it unleashed a combo that it had mastered for years against the Shadow Demon.

　A dignified seven-star magical spirit was completely outmatched by a six-star magical spirit!

　Fortunately, the "Shadow Demon" has no intelligence, otherwise, who knows how humiliated it would be now.

　……

　at the same time.

　Neither player stopped calling out.

　Dark Deemon activated his second "Elysium III: Moon" in this duel, directing the light of "Elysium" towards "Eevee: Eevee" standing on the wall.

　"Eevee!" raised its head, and the light of "Elysium" gathered on its forehead, forming the emblem of "Elysium".

　Then, a pinkish, hazy moonlight emanated from its forehead, enveloping its petite body.

　As the light of evolution gradually fades, the "Magical Beast: Umbreon" with its jet-black fur and pink patterns stands proudly!

　Umbreon, which evolves from Elysium III: Moon, has a terrifying 3500 points of defense and four special moves: Moonlight, Dark Pulse, Dark Gaze, and Foul Play.

　Its three attributes are extremely terrifying, and the sum of its three attributes is higher than that of a typical seven-star magical spirit.

　After successfully evolving, "Umbreon" leaped over the high wall and headed towards the blue side's half of the map.

　Its purpose is equally clear: to shatter the "Soul Artifact" as quickly as possible!

　……

　However, in the blue team's summoning zone, Stuart Fern also summoned a new magical sprite.

　That was a shadow monster with the appearance of a minotaur—the "Shadow Bull"!

　Card Name: Shadow Bull

　[Type: Spirit Card]

　【grade:】

　[Race: Bird-Beast]

　[Attribute: Dark]

　【Magic Power: 1500】

　[Attack: 1500]

　[Defense: 1400]

　Ultimate Skills: Shadow Step, Enrage

　As a "Shadow" series magical spirit with almost perfect three-dimensional attributes, "Shadow Bull" only has two special moves.

　One of them is "Shadow Lurker," which is commonly mastered by shadow creatures, and the other is its value proposition—"Enrage"!

　"Enrage" is a taunt skill. Although it only affects a single target, it can ignite the target's anger, causing them to relentlessly pursue the "Shadow Bull" until they regain consciousness.

　The existence of this "Shadow Demon Bull" is to protect the "Wraith Artifact"!

　After summoning it, Stuart Fern immediately gave the order: "Identify the opponent and draw the aggro of that black magical beast."

　"Moo!" Shadow Bull responded, then climbed the high wall, drew its giant axe, and stared solemnly at the approaching Monster: Umbreon.

　"Moom!" Umbreon cried out, unleashing a Dark Pulse as it ran.

　The terrifying wave, filled with an evil aura, erupted instantly. It not only struck the "Shadow Bull," but also the "Shadow Demon" and the "Blue-Eyes Young Dragon."

　The "Shadow Bull" was standing on the wall, with no shadow to hide in, and was immediately affected, almost vomiting blood.

　"Moo!" It let out an even deeper roar in that instant, still unleashing its ultimate move "Enrage" at "Umbreon," as if afraid that "Umbreon" wouldn't kill it.

　—And that is indeed the case; for the minotaurs lurking in the shadows, only death is salvation.

　When "Umbreon" was "Enraged" and provoked, it changed course, and Stuart Fern summoned a new magical creature once again.

　That was a giant pot that was nearly two meters tall!

　The giant pot is pale white, with black ghostly totems carved on its ceramic-like surface. Two venomous snakes twist into vine-like shapes to form the handles of the pot.

　This magical spirit, though only three stars in size, resembled a gaping maw of an abyss, emanating a terrifying aura.

　Dark had a very deep impression of this magical spirit, and knew clearly that it could summon magical spirits of the same kind and attribute, no higher than itself, by absorbing ghost and dark type energy.

　Card Name: Ghost Vine Pot

　[Type: Spirit Card]

　【grade:】

　[Race: Undead]

　[Type: Ghost/Dark]

　【Magic Power: 1600】

　[Attack: 0]

　[Defense: 100]

　[Ultimate Skill: Ghost in the Pot]

　During the Easter Duel Festival, Stuart Fown used the "Demon Vine Pot" to Special Summon a six-star giant python called "Demon King in the Pot"!

　"Devour, howl, and be born! Demon in the pot!"

　Stuart Fowle opened his arms and shouted loudly with a fierce look in his eyes.

　The "Demon Vine Pot" has only 100 defense points and can be easily destroyed by normal summoning.

　But under the current circumstances, whether it's destroyed or not... it's still a gain!

　"call--"

　The lid of the "Demon Vine Pot" opened automatically, revealing a dark, abyss-like interior.

　A tremendous suction force emanated from the spout, violently drawing in the remaining shadow curtain in the blue side's half of the map.

　In addition, even the high walls formed by the "Shadow Tomb" were devoured and absorbed, and the nearby walls were constantly thinned, with the energy index dropping rapidly.

　As a result, a pitch-black vortex formed in the mouth of the "Demon Vine Pot," and howling sounds emanated from its body.

　……

　The fifth round is nearing its end.

　"Wish" cast by "Eevee: Beast" before "Pass" takes effect.

　The status of "Ditto" was fully restored with the combined effect of two "Wishes".

　Milotic's mana was fully replenished, and the stun state after unleashing "Water Cannon" was successfully lifted.

　Dark even summoned "Hawkman" and ordered it to attack the blue team's magic ball.

　"Hawkman" spread his wings and soared towards the blue team's magic ball.

　Ditto transformed into Milotic, climbed the high wall with it, and charged towards the blue team's half of the map.

　……

　"Tick!"

　[Battle Phase (6)][30s]

　The countdown for the sixth round of battle began instantly.

　Players with both hands quickly draw cards.

　Dark failed to prevent the special summoning of the "Ghost Vine Pot". A shrill, demonic sound came from inside the "Ghost Vine Pot", and a giant, jet-black python suddenly emerged from it.

　It stood upright, towering over the wall, its snake eyes radiating a cold and ferocious light.

　It is none other than the six-star magical spirit—"The Demon King in the Pot"!

　Both sides revealed their trump cards, and the duel reached a fever pitch.

　Card Name: Demon King in the Pot

　[Type: Spirit Card]

　【grade:】

　[Race: Undead]

　[Type: Ghost/Dark]

　【Magic Power: 2600】

　[Attack: 2800]

　[Defense: 1700]

　[Ultimate Techniques: Seal in the Pot, Sealed Pot, Demon Serpent's Frenzy]

　The "Ghost King in the Pot" has huge folds of skin on the back of its neck, and the tip of its tail is as ethereal as a ghost.

　It suddenly shrieked and unleashed its ultimate move – "Ghost Serpent Carnival" – summoning dozens of ghost serpents!

　……

　[Only two days left! Monthly tickets expire if you don't vote now! Has the dark age finally arrived where even updating 16,000 words a day can't get you enough votes? (ˇˇ)]

　There's nothing I can do then; I'll just have to try again after I wake up.

Chapter 690 1.2 votes requested. Dark Dimon's strategic planning.

　In the sky, the soaring "Hawkman" is pouncing towards the blue team's magic ball.

　On the high wall, "Shadow Demon" was being beaten to the ground by "Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon", "Shadow Bull" was almost instantly killed by "Umbreon", and "Milotic" and "Ditto" swam to the blue side of the board on opposite sides.

　On the ground, "Garuda" was quietly waiting for its second chance to be summoned. Dozens of ghost snakes summoned by "Garuda" quickly climbed up the wall and swarmed towards "Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon" and "Umbreon". Two black dogs were still fighting, while "Garuda" watched the show.

　As for the "Ghost King in the Pot" himself, he had already swum up the high wall, his icy gaze sweeping over the battlefield.

　Of its three ultimate skills, "Seal in the Pot" is a self-limiting passive skill, and "Demon Serpent Carnival" is very useful in certain situations, but can only play a harassing role when facing high-intensity battles. That leaves only the last sealing skill - "Sealing Pot"!

　But Stuart Fern's true purpose was to ensure that the other magical spirits would die naturally while protecting the "Wraith Artifact" from premature destruction.

　But how to send someone to their death is also an art; it cannot be done too quickly or too slowly.

　If it is sent too quickly, the "Artifact of the Wraith" will not be fully developed before the project fails.

　The delivery was too slow, so the "Soul Artifact" could not absorb the shadow energy formed by the dead magical spirits, and thus could not be nurtured.

　Therefore, choosing an opponent to seal is an extremely difficult decision.

　Stuart Fowle rapidly commanded his magical spirits, simultaneously extending his right hand to release magic power and manipulate the magic ball, causing the blue magic ball to descend quickly and return behind the "Ghost King in the Pot".

　"Hawkman" is just a very ordinary three-star magical spirit and cannot possibly break through the barrier of "Ghost King in the Pot".

　Stuart Fern was well aware of this.

　He slightly raised his gaze to the countdown of the "battle phase" on the projection.

　Time flies by very quickly.

　The fifth round is about to end.

　"Shadow Demon, become shadow—'Shadow Descends'!"

　Stuart Fowle's voice suddenly rose, and the Shadow Demon, who was being brutally beaten by the Blue-Eyes Young Dragon, suddenly exuded an unusual aura.

　It suddenly flipped over from the ground and roared at the "Blue-Eyes Young Dragon" looking down at it. The shadow power gathered in its body surged like flames and shot into the sky.

　The beam of black light converged into a line, and after shooting to a certain height, it rapidly expanded in all directions. It grew from a thin line to the thickness of a wrist, then to the thickness of a bucket... getting thicker and thicker, and in the blink of an eye, it expanded to a diameter of three or four meters, forming a giant black pillar.

　The "Shadow Demon" stood within this enormous pillar of light, arms outstretched, head tilted back in a furious roar, its ferocious aura soaring into the sky.

　It didn't use this ultimate move during its first attack. Now, it has finally been successfully unleashed under Stuart Fern's command.

　Its body began to expand wildly within the black pillar of light, with black horns sprouting from its shoulders and the sides of its head. A peak rose up on its back, and suddenly burst open, revealing a pair of demonic wings that tore through its flesh and spread out angrily!
