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

　Is this the reason you procrastinate?

　"Dark said in a low voice, his eyes instantly turning sharp," Dark said.

　He sensed the aura of a third-tier magical spirit from that massive sacrificial summoning circle!

　"Seven stars, eight stars, or nine stars?"

　Before the magical spirit could be summoned, the "Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon" on the ground had already taken flight and rushed towards the center of the sacrificial summoning circle without hesitation—clearly intending to continue executing the planned tactics.

　Whether it's a seven-star, eight-star, or nine-star dragon, the Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon is not afraid!

　"Meenas!"

　With a flick of his finger, Darke sent the magic orb floating above the red team's summoning zone flying into the air.

　Angus Jeffrey's summons was unexpected, and he must be prepared for Milotic to fight.

　Once Milotic is deployed, the magic orbs near the ground may be attacked by the "Crypt Worms".

　Therefore, the magic ball must first be pulled to a high place.

　Milotic responded immediately, swimming rapidly toward the other side.

　Dark then drew "Bronze Serpent Mirror" from his deck, waiting for the magical spirit to materialize!

　After the sacrificial summoning circle was deployed, it quickly turned pitch black, and black aura rose from the life path of the summoning circle, and filth descended!

　"In the name of Angus Jeffrey, offer two four-star 'Crypt Larvae' as sacrifices to summon an eight-star magical spirit—'Bloodwing Insect Demon'!"

　An ugly head, like a fly, quickly emerged from the center of the sacrificial summons.

　It had huge compound eyes on its head, but they were not green; they were scarlet. On either side of its head grew two horns that looked like those of a demon.

　Below the head is a nearly humanoid body and limbs, with a hard, scarlet carapace on the body, black barbs on the arms and legs, and hands and feet like the claws of a wild beast.

　As the "Bloodwing Insect Demon" fully materialized, it suddenly spread its arms and let out a furious roar as if venting its anger, with a pair of demonic blood wings spreading from its back!

　It's a demon race!

　"It's actually a high-level demon!"

　Dark couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.

　Although magical spirits are not real life forms, the magical spirits that Angus Jeffrey had summoned earlier had already made him somewhat suspicious.

　The appearance of this high-level demon has deepened these suspicions even further!

　The "Bloodwing Insect Demon" is a very rare type among high-sequence demons.

　It possesses some characteristics similar to vampires. However, it is more inclined towards combat than vampires, making it a high-level demon race specializing in combat.

　Although Dark had never seen the insect species that lived in the demon territory, he did know something about these more well-known high-level demons.

　Looking at this "Bloodwing Insect Demon," he couldn't help but think of the "Vampire Count."

　Both being eight-star magical spirits, how does the "Bloodwing Insect Demon" compare to the "Vampire Count"?

　"Win this duel first!"

　The unexpected discovery only fueled Dark's even stronger desire to win.

　……

　"Roar!"

　Two angry roars rang out at the same time.

　The six-star "Blue-Eyes Young Dragon" and the eight-star "Bloodwing Insect Demon" finally clashed.

　The Bloodwing Insect Demon's attack power is a full 800 points higher than the Blue-Eyes Young Dragon's, but their defense power is about the same.

　The Blue-Eyes Young Dragon's claws and teeth can still tear through the Bloodwing Insect Demon's defenses.

　The initial clash ended with the Blue-Eyes Young Dragon at a disadvantage, but the Bloodwing Insect Demon also paid a price.

　Angus Jeffrey couldn't help but frown.

　His envisioned scenario was an eight-star "Bloodwing Insect Demon" overwhelming a six-star "Blue-Eyes Young Dragon".

　However, this situation did not actually occur.

　"I didn't originally intend to use it on..."

　Angus Jeffrey murmured something under his breath, then suddenly shouted, "Bloodwing Insect Demon, plant the curse mark!"

　Thick blood-red light emanated from the Bloodwing Insect Demon's compound eyes, and strange curse marks emerged from the depths of its eyes.

　"Ultimate Technique—'Blood Killing Curse Seal'!"

　A red light suddenly shot out and accurately hit the "Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon" on the forehead.

　The Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon was startled and instinctively flapped its wings to retreat rapidly.

　However, it sensed nothing unusual as moonlight shone around it.

　However, a blood-red curse mark did indeed appear on his forehead.

　Then the speed of the "Bloodwing Insect Demon" suddenly increased!

　A flash of red light appeared, and the "Blue-Eyed Young Dragon" was caught off guard and its side was torn open by the claws of the "Bloodwing Insect Demon," causing its dragon blood to gush out.

　"Jie Jie Jie!"

　The "Bloodwing Insect Demon" let out a sinister laugh, raised its right claw, and blood slid down its claw tip.

　It sticks out its tongue, licks the blood into its mouth, and savors it gently.

　Then, blood-red light rapidly condensed in its palm, and a short blade with an arc shape materialized, emanating the aura of a dragon!

　"Ultimate move—'Insect Blade'!"

　The "Bloodwing Insect Demon" can absorb the blood of its opponents and conjure up "Insect Blades" of corresponding attributes, unaffected by attribute advantages or disadvantages.

　However, the "Insect Blade" it simulated by absorbing the blood of the "Blue-Eyes Young Dragon" only has the Dragon attribute and not the Light attribute—this is its limitation.

　The Bloodwing Insect Demon that obtained the "Insect Blade" received a full 800-point boost to its attack power, and the "Insect Blade" also came with a special move - "Insect Chirp"!

　"Sing, Insect Blade!"

　In place of the mage spirit who could not speak, Angus Jeffrey let out a deep shout.

　The "Insect Blade" in the "Bloodwing Insect Demon's" hand vibrated at a high frequency and suddenly emitted an insect chirp.

　"Om-"

　The chirping of the insects was so piercing that even Dark Dimon, who was on the red team's platform and had a protective barrier, felt a stinging pain in his eardrums.

　The dragons in the arena—not just the Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon, but even Milotic—stopped and showed signs of pain.

　Absorb attributes with "Insect Blade" and suppress attributes with "Insect Chirp".

　The "Bloodwing Insect Demon" spun the "Insect Blade" in its hand, and spread its wings again with a cold laugh.

　When targeting prey afflicted with the "Blood Killing Curse," the Bloodwing Insect Demon's attack and speed increase. Its speed, in particular, is drastically increased, and it also weakens the target's abilities, dealing additional damage!

　The portion that weakens the target's abilities and deals additional damage is negated by "Moon's Protection." However, the buffs gained by "Bloodwing Insect Demon" itself remain.

　The Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon was no match for it to begin with. If it was suppressed by the "Insect Chirping" and unable to move, it would become a living target.

　The Bloodwing Insect Demon's strike nearly severed its body!

　In that instant, the Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon was forced to use its last life-saving technique – Dragon Egg Transformation!

　Has it turned into an egg?

　Angus Jeffrey became noticeably more talkative—he finally couldn't hold back.

　With a cold laugh, he issued an order for the "Bloodwing Insect Demon" to launch further attacks.

　The "Primordial Dragon Egg" is not considered fragile, but that's within the three-star range.

　It will be instantly destroyed when faced with more than 3000 points of damage!

　"Miu!"

　But just as the Bloodwing Insect Demon's Insect Blade was about to hit the dragon egg, a grayish-white ray suddenly shot out!

　Milotic raised its "Bronze Serpent Mirror" high with its tail and shone it fiercely at the location of the dragon egg!

　Despite its pained expression, it seemed to be experiencing less attribute suppression than the Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon.

　It was difficult for it to intervene in the aerial battle between the Blue-Eyes Young Dragon and the Bloodwing Insect Demon.

　At this moment, Dark summoned the "Bronze Serpent Mirror," which immediately activated.

　The four small snakes on the "Bronze Snake Mirror" opened their snake eyes at the same time, staring intently at the "Bloodwing Insect Demon".

　The "Petrifying Gaze" ray struck the "Bloodwing Insect Demon," causing it to freeze instantly and gradually petrify, starting from the part that was irradiated!

　……

　Angus Jeffrey clearly hadn't expected that Dark would have such an item card that could be effective against third-tier magical spirits.

　But he wasn't without a way to deal with "petrification": "Insect Transformation!"

　"grumble--"

　The not-yet-completely-petrified Bloodwing Insect Demon suddenly let out a shrill cry. Its entire body then curled up, its blood wings unfurling and expanding to completely envelop its body, a flowing crimson light spreading around it—and then, in this posture, it was turned to stone!

　The "Bloodwing Insect Demon's" "Insect Transformation" is like a larva transforming into an adult; it is a transformation technique that allows the demon to undergo a metamorphosis in a short period of time.

　This ultimate technique is extremely rare; even among the Bloodwing Insect Demon race, only a very small number of exceptionally talented individuals can master it.

　Angus Jeffrey's "Bloodwing Insect Demon" can transcend one star level and briefly transform into a nine-star magical spirit after using "Insect Transformation," gaining a new ultimate skill.

　But the attribute boost and the acquisition of new special moves are secondary; the most important thing is that its speed will increase even further, becoming as fast as lightning!

　When combined with the near-instantaneous teleportation of "Blood Flash," its hunting ability terrifies countless humans.

　Unfortunately, it turned into stone!

　Angus Jeffrey looked at the "Bloodwing Insect Demon" whose "mutation" had failed, and finally revealed a slightly ferocious expression.

　He clenched his right fist, instinctively wanting to slam it on the card table.

　But just as his right fist was about to touch the card table, he abruptly stopped himself.

　Meanwhile, the "primordial dragon egg" on the ground has hatched once again!

　……

　"Tick!"

　[Battle Phase (4)][30s]

　The third round was spent in this lightning-fast exchange.

　Angus Jeffrey had five cards left in his hand. But after sacrificing to summon "Bloodwing Insectoid," he focused on the battle and didn't use a single one.

　As the turn changed, he didn't immediately draw a card, but instead drew one from the deck and summoned it on the spot: "In the name of Angus Jeffrey, I offer 'Bloodwing Insect Demon' as a sacrifice..."

　It is still a sacrificial summoning, but the sacrifice is a "Bloodwing Insect Demon".

　Angus Jeffrey's voice already betrayed suppressed anger.

　He clearly wanted to use this method to make the most of the "Bloodwing Insect Demon".

　But he suddenly stopped singing halfway through.

　Because he suddenly discovered that the petrified "Bloodwing Insect Demon" could not be summoned as a sacrifice!
