Chapter 239 Dark Demon Says Good Night 4 in 1 (Part 1 of 2 Parts)
Monkey-faced Owl, also known as "Stone Owl" and "Grass Owl", belonged to the category of predatory birds, which completely suppressed King Pigeon in the food chain.
Combined with a slight advantage in attack and defense, it was also faster and stronger than the King Pigeon.
Therefore, when the Monkey-faced Owl was summoned, White's King Pigeon could only flee in a hurry!
The King Pigeon grabbed the Red Player's Magic Ball and flew into the air to dodge. However, unable to compete with the Monkey-faced Owl at all, its wings were scratched by the Monkey-faced Owl's beak and claws repeatedly. But when its magic energy value dropped to a certain level due to the injury, a bright white ripple suddenly appeared on its body, and then its injury recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Moreover, its magic energy value was also restored a little bit. This allowed it to successfully hold on to the end of the first round!
...
White always paid attention to the 30-second countdown, so the moment the countdown ended, he drew two new magic cards immediately.
He had bet his hope on these two magic cards, and the magic cards also answered his prayers!
"Troll!" White's heart instantly calmed down when he saw the ugly but powerful Troll on the card. He felt like as long as he had this card, he would be able to defeat Scott.
In White's impression, the Three-eyed Cuttlefish should be Scott's strongest 3-star magical spirit, but with the power of his Troll, there was no suspense in crushing it! This meant that he would definitely win!
Now that in addition to his summoning speed, his magical spirit was also superior to Scott's, there was no reason for him to lose.
After a moment of calculation, White was confident that he would be victorious. All that was left now was to summon [Troll]!
The Normal Summoning Spell's cooldown had already ended; so without any hesitation, he started Summoning, "Fight for me, Troll!"
After his shout fell, a white light that flew from the card surface landed in his summoning area.
…
[Card name: Troll]
[Type: Spirit Card]
[Level: ✪✪✪ ]
[Race: Sub-human-type]
[Attribute: Normal]
[Magic Energy: 1200]
[Attack: 1500]
[Defense: 1400 ]
[Ultimate: Double-Edge, Frenzy]
...
White’s Troll as strong as a hill stood up from the ground! The King Pigeon immediately fled behind it after it was wounded by the Monkey-faced Owl again.
The Monkey-faced Owl wanted to continue chasing it, but it was blocked by the Troll!
The Troll roared loudly and struck the Monkey-faced Owl with its palm with great force when it reached its attack range!
"Slap!" The troll's large palm as big as a grinding wheel hit the Monkey-faced Owl right in the face, directly smashing it into scattering light dots. At the same time, the [Monkey-faced Owl] magic card in Scott's hand turned gray.
Scott's expression changed slightly, placing the [Monkey-faced Owl] magic card in the lower left corner of the table.
The defeat of Monkey-faced Owl made him lose a valuable flying type magical spirit, but fortunately, the King Pigeon's wings had been seriously injured, and it could no longer fly high.
As for the healing skill it showed just now, it could basically be ignored. After all, the cooldown of the healing-type skills had always been long, so it was unlikely for White’s King Pigeon to use its healing skill again in this duel.
What he needed to face now was White’s Troll, a 3-star magical spirit.
...
Humph! A mere troll!
"If you really think that a Troll can defeat me, then you really underestimate me," Scott murmured.
He was a second-year student after all. Although he had been obsessed with resentment because of being brainwashed, two months had passed since the Goddess Incident ended. In the past two months, he did not waste his time. Otherwise, he would not have come to participate in this recruiting competition.
His grades were indeed bad, but he was not a fool. He wouldn't come here just to lose a match and ask for humiliation.
…
After adding two new magic cards to his hand, Scott started to cast the Normal Summoning Spell very smoothly.
In the arena, White’s Troll was extremely excited after killing the Monkey-faced Owl. It was beating its chest with two sturdy hands repeatedly, showing off its strength triumphantly. It was said that this was the usual behavior of male Trolls when courting females.
"Enough Troll!" White stopped his Troll from showing off. Then he pointed at the Three-eyed Cuttlefish and shouted: "Crush it!"
"Roar!" His troll let out a final roar, and then charged toward the Three-eyed Cuttlefish! It didn't use any skills, nor was it necessary to use any. The mere force suppression was enough to make it crush the Three-eyed Cuttlefish!
The fight between the two magical spirits instantly broke out in the middle of the arena.
Facing the charging the Troll, the Three-eyed Cuttlefish pulled out a tentacle and whipped at it fiercely! However, that tentacle was caught by the Troll, and with a forceful tug, the Three-eyed Cuttlefish's body was pulled leaning forward. Then the Troll gave a weird laugh, put its other hand on the tentacle, and started pulling the Three-eyed Cuttlefish toward it!
But this kind of behavior was extremely unwise! The Three-eyed Cuttlefish just raised its head and spat out dark ink at the Troll.
Completely not expecting such an attack, the Troll was stunned for a moment. When it finally reacted, its eyes quickly glowed red in rage.
"Roar!" It roared furiously and grabbed the ends of the two Cuttlefish's tentacles, forcefully pulling one of the tentacles apart with brute force!
The Three-eyed Cuttlefish screamed in pain, and its broken tentacle directly turned into glittering light particles.
Time ticked away quickly in the fight between the two magical spirits.
At this time, Scott took out one magic card from the cards in his hand and shook it. Immediately, a puddle of jet-black ink fell from the sky and was poured all over the Three-eyed Cuttlefish's head!
Because White's Troll was too close to the Cuttlefish, some of the ink also dropped on its body; those parts that were stained by ink immediately emitted sizzling white smoke as if it was attacked by some strong acid.
Feeling the sharp pain, the Troll stepped back subconsciously.
But the Three-eyed Cuttlefish, which was covered by the ink from top to bottom, didn't seem to be affected by it at all. Instead, its body color quickly turned into pure pitch black because of this puddle of ink!
Having a keen intuition of a beast, Troll instinctively took another step back.
At this time, the Three-eyed Cuttlefish, who was completely "blackened" by the ink, suddenly opened its third eye!
White had always thought that the third eye of the Three-eyed Cuttlefish was just a decoration. But such a view was finally completely shattered at this moment!
The jet-black light beam that burst out from the Cuttlefish's third eye shot directly through Troll's shoulder, crippling the Troll's left arm instantly.
After a short delay, the Troll suddenly screamed out in pain! The scream was so terrifying, that many first-year students trembled uncontrollably, and White's face also changed dramatically!
...
Outside the arena, the people who knew a little about Scott were all surprised; even Dark was also the same. Scott's performance this time directly subverted their perception of him.
The "ink" poured from the sky was obviously a special item to increase the strength of the Three-eyed Cuttlefish, and this kind of strengthening was probably an all-aspect enhancement that covered magic energy value, attack, defense, and may even ultimates!
It was almost the same as Evolution and Demonization!
Professor Nini had just taught the definition of "magic beast" in the magic beast class, and Robert also did detailed instruction at that time.
Magic beasts were originally just ordinary beasts, but after they went through a transformation process called "demonization", they not only obtained magic energy, but also the means to release magic energy, and those means eventually became their ultimate abilities, or ultimates for short!
In terms of the effect of this transformation process, it was almost the same as the "blackening" of the Three-eyed Cuttlefish.
Although the Three-eyed Cuttlefish may still not have the standard strength of the second-tier magical spirits after blackening, it was definitely much stronger than before.
This was evident from the fact that it easily seriously injured White’s Troll.
"I didn’t expect Senior Scott to be so strong." Dark never hesitated to praise others. At least that [Ink] surprised him a little.
...
Meanwhile, on the judging panel.
Professor Fox had completely recovered from the previous duel between Dark and John. At the moment, he was looking at Professor Jones pridefully.
Even though he didn't actually teach Scott anything about the [Ink], that wouldn't change the fact that Scott was his student.
But Professor Jones was thinking of something else. Her eyes stayed on White's back, showing a hint of concern.
No one would be able to face failure all the time. White needed a complete victory to help him restore his confidence!
However, the current duel may not be smooth.
...
"Magic Summoning!" After White calmed down a bit, he immediately summoned [Magic Energy Restoring Potion] and smashed it on the Troll's body.
The Troll's magic energy was immediately restored by 100.
But [Magic Energy Restoring Potion] wouldn't heal injuries; it could only temporarily calm the Troll's emotions.
"Keep your distance!" White instructed loudly.
...
The changes to Three-eyed Cuttlefish were completely unexpected.
White didn't know how many more times the Three-eyed Cuttlefish was able to shoot out the same beam from its third eye, so keeping a distance was the safest thing to do. Moreover, the Three-eyed Cuttlefish was now covered in that extremely corrosive "ink"; his troll was seriously injured by only a mere splash of it just now.
The pain would not only drive his troll crazy, but the damage caused by corrosion would also cause its magic energy to be continuously consumed.
Therefore, before figuring out the specific effect of that "Ink", White didn't want to put his Troll in danger again!
...
However, as the old saying goes, “when the opponent retreats during the battle, one must press on.” So seeing that the Troll retreated under White's instructions, how would Scott not continue to apply pressure?
The Three-eyed Cuttlefish instantly shot out three pitch-black tentacles, one of which directly wrapped around the Troll's neck, and the other two wrapped around the Troll's feet! The "ink" on the surface of the tentacles corroded the skin of the Troll that came into contact with them, emitting smoke constantly.
The Troll endured the pain and struggled desperately.
The Three-eyed Cuttlefish wanted to pull its legs apart, forcing it to lose its balance and fall over. But the Troll naturally wouldn’t let it happen.
Roaring furiously, the Troll stood firm, and the tentacle that wrapped around its neck was grabbed by its right hand!
Had the Three-eyed Cuttlefish’s strength not improved, it would’ve naturally been impossible for it to compete with the Troll. After all, the troll could easily throw it off balance simply by grabbing its tentacles and pulling them hard.
But now, the pull between the two sides turned into a tug of war. From this, it could be seen that after being "blackened", the Three-eyed Cuttlefish’s attack power had obviously been increased to at least 1500, which was equivalent to theTroll’s!
From 1100 to 1500, it was a full 400 points of increase!
...
With the only remaining right arm, the Troll fought fiercely against the Three-eyed Cuttlefish.
And during this time, White summoned the magical spirit card that was drawn together with [Troll], trying to order it to bypass the Three-eyed Cuttlefish and attack the Blue Player's Magic Ball.
But Scott simply ordered the Three-eyed Cuttlefish to step back a little and use an extra tentacle to twist the 2-star magical spirit into pieces!
After White’s new magical was killed, the second round was also over.
...
"Third round, draw card!" White's expression changed slightly after he drew two new cards. He didn't seem to have good luck today. This time, he only got two magical spirit cards that he used to make up the numbers in his deck.
But Scott on the other hand showed a look of ecstasy uncontrollably on his face.
Seeing that Scott had started to cast the Normal Summoning Spell, White couldn't help but get nervous. He looked down at his Troll and the Three-eyed Cuttlefish in the arena, gritted his teeth, and made a decision. "Troll, Double-Edge!"
[Double-Edge] was an extremely powerful ultimate ability, but with the cost of 1/2 of its own maximum magic energy, it could be regarded as a double-edged sword amongst the double-edged swords.
Based on the total magic energy of Troll, which was 1200, after using [Double-Edge], a full 600 points would be deducted! But after suffering the "Third-eye’s Beam" of the Three-eyed Cuttlefish, his Troll's magic energy didn’t have much magic energy left. If it lost another 600 points of magic energy, then it would fall into an extremely vulnerable state.
However, White had no other choices. And with this skill, he would at least be able to make this Three-eyed Cuttlefish pay the same amount of price!
"Roar!" The Troll's eyes suddenly turned red after receiving the order, and the aura it gave out became vicious and violent! As its body glowed in blood-red light, it slammed into the Three-eyed Cuttlefish fiercely.
The Three-eyed Cuttlefish still failed to change the slow movement speed after "blackening". It had no way of evading it, and could only endure the Troll's [Double-Edge] from the front!
In this collision, the Three-eyed Cuttlefish, whose attack and defense were increased, almost collapsed and dissipated in the collision.
Although White’s Troll suffered an equal amount of damage, its internal magic energy value would not be shown on the outside, so it still looked very fierce.
Seeing that the Three-eyed Cuttlefish seemed to be unable to recover from the collision for a while, White immediately ordered his Troll an attack order, wanting to end it. But just as his Troll was about to attack, another puddle of ink suddenly fell from the sky!
The Three-eyed Cuttlefish suddenly let out a loud cry of joy, and then the wounds on its body, especially the lacerations on the front, were healed at an extremely fast speed!
The puddle of [Ink] this time was obviously different from the last puddle of [Ink]. Not only did it have the effect of healing, but it was also likely to further enhance the three-eyed Cuttlefish's stats. So much so that it opened its third eye again in front of Troll!
...
White's expression on the Red Player’s platform changed instantly.
The puddle of [Ink] this time could even refresh the cooldown of that ultimate ability!
It was too strong!
Once hit by that black beam, his Troll with only 200 magic energy left would definitely be killed on the spot.
"King Pigeon!" the King Pigeon, clutching the Magic Ball, understood White’s order. It immediately released the Magic Ball in its claws, swooped down at the Three-eyed Cuttlefish, and pecked its third eye with its sharp beak!
"Pew!" A black beam was shot out from the third eye of the Three-eyed Cuttlefish, vaporizing the King Pigeon in an instant! But this ultimate ability also entered the long cooldown time again.
White heaved a sigh of relief, and then gritted his teeth again: "Frenzy!"
Ever since his Troll got the ultimate ability [Frenzy] in its skill bar, White had rarely used it. Because [Frenzy] meant that he would not be able to control his troll.
This was his last throw of the dice.
...
But the current situation was too dire. With only 200 magic energy left, White’s Troll was no longer able to resist the attack of the Three-eyed Cuttlefish.
If he didn't use an unconventional gambit, he would not be able to survive this round!
...
"Roar!" After activating [Frenzy] skill, White’s Troll suddenly opened its bloody mouth, revealing a mouth of jagged fangs.
It then pounced on the Three-eyed Cuttlefish before it, losing its mind completely!
...
"Fourth round, draw card!"
White placed his hand on the top of the deck, feeling a little heavy in his heart.
After using the [Frenzy] skill, his Troll not only blocked the Three-eyed Cuttlefish, but also took a big bite out of it. But it eventually ran out of magic energy and died.
After losing the backbone [Troll], he could only pin his hopes on [Radiant Python], and fortunately, he really drew [Radiant Python] in this round. And another one was - [Forbidden Love]!
After woe comes weal! White instantly regained his confidence.
He pulled out [Radiant Python] on the spot and summoned it at his fastest speed.
…
[Card name: Radiant Python]
[Type: Spirit Card]
[Level: ✪✪✪ ]
[Race: Reptile-type]
[Attribute: Light type ]
[Magic Energy: 1400]
[Attack: 1400]
[Defense:1400]
[Ultimate: Holy Light]
…
"Holy Light!" The moment the Radiant Python appeared, White shouted loudly.
The Radiant Python immediately raised its head, and from the snow-white gems above its head, a divine and beautiful light suddenly bloomed!
Then the whole arena was covered with white light.
The Three-eyed Cuttlefish, which had a little magic energy left, melted like water under the illumination of this Holy Light.
