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

　The broodmother spider is enormous, nearly two meters long, with its abdomen accounting for 1.5 meters of that length.

　Its abdomen was unusually large, covered with rings of spiky black patterns, with a base color of blood red.

　Its eight spider legs are like sickles, with serrated edges.

　This means that while it acts as the "mother", it also possesses a certain degree of aggression.

　However, the gestation stage is indeed fragile, possessing only 900 points of defense.

　Moreover, its enormous, bloated abdomen makes it almost immobile, and it can only change position by relying on its three-dimensional, crisscrossing spider web.

　However, even if it spreads its webs all over the flat dueling arena, there are no points to fix the strings in place.

　However, the Broodmother Spider is not without offensive abilities.

　However, Steel-type Magical Spirits have a damage reduction effect against Bug-type special moves, and its only offensive special move, "Bug Absorption," is very ineffective against "Sword Sheath."

　Broodmother's core special move is "Hatch," which can hatch one- or two-star "baby spiders" just like "Greedy Slime II," and use them as sacrifices to summon them.

　Therefore, after guessing the type of "broodmother spider", Dark immediately adopted a decapitation tactic.

　However, the 120-meter-long track was not reached in an instant. The "single sword sheath" was already moving very fast from acceleration to speed, but it still couldn't kill it instantly.

　The broodmother spider suddenly spat out layer after layer of webs into the air.

　The spider silk in this "web" is not very strong, but it is very sticky.

　The storm that swirled around the sword tore apart a large amount of spider silk. But as the momentum of the "single sword sheath" was blocked, even more spider silk was spewed out, adhering to the "single sword sheath" like glue, further slowing down its speed.

　Before the "single sword sheath" could strike, it had already hatched its first two-star "spider cub".

　On the blue team's stage, Angus Jeffrey summoned his second magic card at an extremely fast speed!

　"In the name of Angus Jeffrey, a magical summoning—'Dark Worm'!"

　A burst of dark light appeared, and a magical sprite, like a balloon, materialized above the blue team's summoning area.

　The "Dark Cytozoon" is about the size of a balloon with a diameter of one meter. Its skin is rough and spiky. It has two faces, one in front and one behind, and two mouthparts. It also has soft, tubular tentacles on its head.

　Before Angus Jeffrey could give the order, the Dark Worm, after sensing the stimulation of the Holy Sword, instinctively opened one of its mouthparts and sprayed foul, putrid black water at the scabbard that was entangled in spider webs!

　When the "single sword sheath" was drenched in the black water, it made a "sizzling" sound and emitted white smoke as if it were burning.

　The momentum of that "sword dance" was completely shattered!

　Even the condition of the "single sword sheath" has been greatly reduced!

　"Ah."

　Angus Jeffrey let out a cold laugh, then shouted, "Broodmother Spider, continue hatching! Darkbrood Worm, use 'Corruption'!"

　The brooding spider on the ground remained motionless, while one- or two-starred offspring were continuously expelled from its abdomen.

　After spewing out black water, the two antennae on the top of the "Dark Cytozoa" in the sky suddenly extended, firmly binding the corrupt and weakened "Sword Sheath".

　The "Holy Sword," which had been invincible before, was actually suppressed by a single insect!

　……

　"A dark entity capable of corrupting the holy sword?"

　On the red team's platform, Darko Dimon couldn't help but frown.

　He had already summoned the "Trash Slime" before, but the "Greed III" in his hand had not yet been activated.

　The magic card in "Single Sword Sheath" kept reflecting its anxious emotions, and its magic power was being lost at an extremely fast rate!

　If he were to use "Greed III" on "Single Sheath" instead, it wouldn't be impossible to dispel the negative status of "Single Sheath" through the power and evolution of "Greed III".

　But as we can see, Angus Jeffrey has clearly prepared something to counter the "Holy Sword". Even if he evolves the "Single Sheath" into the "Dual Sheath", it will probably be difficult to use it effectively.

　"In the name of Dark Demon, a magical summoning—'Greedy Slime II'!"

　Hesitation will defeat.

　Dark decisively abandoned the "Single Sword Sheath" and seized the time it bought him to use "Greed III" on the "Trash Slime"!

　As the "Trash Slime" swells and grows under the radiant glow of "Greed III", the countdown for the [Battle Phase (1)] enters single digits.

　Dark wasn't sure if the "Single Sword Sheath" could hold out. But as the first round was about to end, he decisively unleashed a sacrificial summon!

　"We have one 'Trash Slime' (one star), one 'Greedy Slime I' (two stars), and one 'Greedy Slime II' (four stars). Using these three magical spirits as sacrifices, we will summon—'Milano'!"

　During this period, "Greedy Slime II" split into three "Trash Slimes" and two "Greedy Slime I", consuming a total of 1400 magic points. The remaining 1600 magic points were just enough to ensure the success rate of the sacrifice summon.

　After the sacrifice summon, the red team's summoning zone will have two "Trash Slimes" and one "Greedy Slime I" remaining.

　At this moment, a massive sacrificial summoning circle had already appeared in mid-air.

　Amidst the dazzling light, the charming and adorable seven-star magical spirit, Milotic, makes its grand entrance!

　……

　[6/137]

　My computer crashed right around midnight; four alarms couldn't wake me up. I was really exhausted yesterday, but I still managed to catch up today! I've been writing since 6 a.m. until now, a full twelve hours without eating (?￣3). I need to catch up on some sleep, and hopefully I'll be back to normal tonight and continue writing until midnight.

Chapter 697

　As Milotic appeared, an astonishing roar erupted from the stands.

　"Is this Milotic? What an amazingly charming magical spirit!"

　"Yes, it's amazing no matter how many times you see it."

　"Is this the first or second time you've seen it?"

　"the first time."

　"??"

　"This is the second time!"

　"I'm really looking forward to the Milotic model easter eggs and simulation cards!"

　"If it comes out, I will definitely buy it to collect."

　Milotic's incredible allure seems to have caused spectators to gradually overlook its strength.

　However, within the ring, the students watching the game were clearly more concerned about its star rating.

　"They actually sacrificed and summoned a seven-star magical spirit in the very first round?"

　"Both were sacrificial summons, but Angus Jeffrey... seems to have only summoned a six-star magical spirit?"

　Edwin Clarissa crossed her arms and smiled slightly.

　Most of the other students in the House of Nobles also noticed the opening gap between the two sides.

　……

　However, Angus Jeffrey, the blue team player on the stage, did not appear anxious.

　He placed his hand on top of the deck, already waiting for the second round to begin.

　However, a new magical spirit was also summoned in his summoning area.

　That was a six-star magical spirit summoned by sacrificing the "baby spider" of the "brood mother spider"!

　Unlike the four-star "Greedy Slime II", which can be used as a tier sacrifice for third-tier magical spirits, "Broodmother Spider" is only three stars and cannot be used to summon third-tier magical spirits.

　However, the six-star magical spirit summoned by Angus Jeffrey is not a combat-type core!

　Card Name: Cave Demon Worm

　[Type: Spirit Card]

　【grade:】

　[Species: Insect]

　[Type: Bug/Ground]

　【Magic Power: 3200】

　[Attack: 2000]

　[Defense: 2000]

　【Ultimate Skills: Rock Demon Skin, Dig, Lay Eggs】

　It's still a bug-type magical Pokémon!

　Angus Jeffrey was originally supposed to be using an ice-type deck. But the three magical spirits he summoned were all insect-type.

　Among the three attributes of this "Cave Demon Worm," only its magic power is outstanding; its attack and defense are not even among the top six-star magical spirits. However, it is huge and obese, and its rock armor makes it immune to damage, so it actually has no obvious weaknesses.

　After Angus Jeffrey summoned it by sacrifice, he immediately ordered it to use its ultimate move – "Dig"!

　The "Cave Demon Worm" opened its huge mouth and swallowed the blue team's magic ball whole, then plunged into the ground and burrowed into the ground!

　The enormous "Cave Demon Worm" burrowed into the ground without making much of a commotion, and soon became completely silent, as smoothly as if it had submerged in water.

　Angus Jeffrey looked at the Milotic summoned by Dark and sneered inwardly.

　The "Crypt Demon Worm's" behavior appears to be to protect the Magic Orb, but it's actually a cover for its true purpose: to nest and lay eggs underground!

　After receiving his first five cards, Angus Jeffrey devised a battle strategy for the game.

　His deck doesn't contain many fancy magic cards, item cards, or ritual cards; it's a special deck primarily composed of magic spirit cards.

　However, he has a clear classification of each magical spirit, such as functional type, combat type, and so on.

　The three magical spirits summoned right now are all functional magical spirits!

　But with these three functional magical spirits as a foundation, he can continuously summon more high-star combat magical spirits!

　"The essence of a magical duel is a battle between high-level magical spirits. Whether it's a sacrificial summon, a special summon, or a ritual summon... it's all about summoning powerful high-level magical spirits faster. Whoever summons a high-level magical spirit faster and stronger will win!"

　—This is how Angus Jeffrey perceived it.

　And at this moment, he is indeed putting his own understanding into practice!

　Broodmothers can only hatch one- or two-star offspring. However, Cave Demons can produce four-star larvae eggs!

　The only drawback is that the eggs produced by the "Cave Demon Worm" need a certain amount of time to hatch.

　The eggs in the first tier require 15 seconds to hatch.

　Four-star insect eggs take 30 seconds to hatch.

　Since Dark Dimon was unaware that the "Cave Worm" could "lay eggs" and could not see what was happening underground, he only needed to patiently wait one more round before launching a thunderous attack!

　……

　The "Crypt Demon Worm's" act of swallowing the Blue Cube's magic orb and then burrowing underground was extremely deceptive.

　Darke certainly hadn't expected that this "Crypt Demon Worm," whose physical characteristics weren't as obvious as those of a "Broodmother Spider," would also lay eggs.

　Under this premise, he made the most reasonable arrangement.

　Unfortunately, it wasn't a moonlit night, otherwise Milotic, bathed in moonlight, could have had its negative status effects removed simply by using "Moon Guardian".

　Now that there is no moonlight, Milotic's "Lunar Protection" is like a shield, only able to block external attacks, but unable to clear the remaining poison inside.

　Dark immediately commanded, "Aim at the spider, 'Water Cannon'!"

　One hundred and twenty meters is just a distance that can be covered in an instant for a fully charged "water cannon".

　Given the normal strength of the three-star magical spirit, even if "Cannon Bubble" is slightly weakened during this process, it can still be blasted to death on the spot!

　Dark could not allow that broodmother spider to continue hatching.

　"Miu!"

　Milotic's expression immediately turned serious, and pale blue light spots emerged from its body, rapidly converging into a sphere in its open mouth.

　Then, the moment the "tick-tock" sounded at the end of the first round, the thick and long "water cannon" burst out!

　"Boom!"

　Broodmother spiders are unavoidable.

　Even its two newly hatched "spider offspring" were blasted to smithereens by this powerful water cannon!

　The entire venue instantly became quiet.
