Chapter 394: 's Magic Reflection Part 2

"Double chanting?"

In the ring belt, couldn't help but frown as she recalled the elven secret technique that enabled the simultaneous chanting of two incantations.

But then she immediately shook her head in denial.

What Dark had employed on the field was obviously not that kind of secret technique.

Moreover, it wasn't like a could be summoned by simply chanting a spell.

Since there was no trace of "sacrifice" or "special summoning", then it should be none other than "".

……

"As we all know, Normal Summoning a 4-star magical spirit takes at least one minute..."

had a pretty quick mind—he actually instantly figured out the key point.

But he didn't continue talking. He just looked at the blond boy on the red side’s contestant platform and reflexively gulped down his saliva.

How on earth did a first-year student who had only learned magic theory for less than a year manage to grow to this level?

Were those currently famous as powerful as he was during their early period in the school?

Zach Wilson's gaze inadvertently turned to the gateway of the contestant passage.

The four contestants from the senior group who advanced to the second phase had all gathered there to watch this duel.

……

In contrast, as Dark Demon's opponent, didn't have the energy to think about this issue at this moment.

After the thought that "Dark Demon summoned a 3-star magical spirit and a 4-star magical spirit at the same time" spun in his mind, he urgently started the next round of summoning.

He also had plenty of cards in his hand.

He had to start using the four cards acquired in the third and fourth rounds.

……

At this very moment, upon careful counting, one would find that there were altogether seven magical spirits remaining on the field!

The magical spirits belonging to Dark Demon numbered a total of five, they were namely:

[Magical Scribe] located in front of the blue side’s contestant platform.

[Shuckle] and [Sylveon] located in the blue side’s summoning area.

And [Espeon] and [Meowth] located in the red side’s area.

Whereas the number of magical spirits belonging to Stuart Fawn were two, namely:

[Shadow Bug] hiding inside [Shadow Cave].

And [Ghost King Serpent] sealed in the "".

In addition, there was also the droplet of thick black ink that was sucked into [Shadow Cave].

……

As of current, the situation on the field wasn't very clear.

At first glance, Dark Demon might seem to have the upper hand, but none of his magical spirits possessed the ability to sneak into [Shadow Cave], and nor do they have the means to destroy it. Therefore, it was very difficult for him to inflict damage on the red side's magic ball hidden inside the [Shadow Cave].

Many of the opponents who had dueled with Stuart Fawn in the past had been entangled by this and ultimately ended up defeated.

This was also the reason why many people weren't optimistic about this first-year student.

Even though he showed strong "judgment" and "field control" abilities upon taking the stage, living up to what he said during the preparation phase about how he was "looking right at the future"—if he couldn't directly and effectively inflict damage to the red side's magic ball, the race for victory in this duel was still far from over.

But was there really nothing Dark Demon could do?

Certainly not.

……

No matter what secret lay behind Stuart Fawn's droplet of ink, Dark wouldn't stop his attack just because of it.

After summoning [Magical Scribe] at the beginning of the second round, he commanded it to summon [Sylveon].

The successful appearance of [Sylveon] meant that the heyday of [Shadow Bug] was over!

"Sylveon, use [Disarming Voice]!"

Gliding its body with the grace of a dancer, Sylveon, with its pink ribbon-like feelers fluttering in the air, exuded a faint aura of charm.

With the [Cute Charm] passive skill, even with an unkempt appearance, Sylveon would still be an eye-catching little cutie, let alone with its beautifully groomed appearance.

It quietly glanced at the prideful Espeon, and then started singing at once, working harder to fully exhibit [Disarming Voice] out of competitiveness.

"♪♩♫♬~♥~♬♫♩♪..."

As its singing reverberated louder, Sylveon's aura became more and more charming.

Its pupils seemed to swirl with an allure, as if dripping with water.

Although [Cute Charm] was described as being aimed at the opposite sex, the charm of cuteness did not distinguish between genders. Even those of the same sex were enamored by it.

A heart ♥ sign seemed to emerge in the eyes of the audience. There were even plenty who immediately grabbed the figurine guidebook at hand, only to lament that this magical spirit wasn’t included among the figurines.

Amidst the voice of complaints that rose from this, [Disarming Voice] penetrated inside [Shadow Cave] and affected the [Shadow Bug] hiding in it.

Because this [Shadow Bug] had already been attacked by Espeon's [Mindpower] and was seriously injured, although the power of [Disarming Voice] was extremely low, it still managed to deal damage to it.

But powered by its lustful obsession, the [Shadow Bug] who was already on its last breath actually dragged the red side's magic ball and poked its head out of the [Shadow Cave] closest to the blue side's area!

This scene of surrendering itself to the enemy almost made Stuart Fawn, who was focused on summoning, spurt out blood on the spot.

Fortunately, he had already mastered the summoning technique to the utmost, so his summoning process wasn't interrupted.

……

Seeing [Shadow Bug] come out of the [Shadow Cave], Espeon and Meowth, who had been eyeing it for a long time, naturally wouldn't let it go.

Almost immediately, the [Mindpower] unleashed by Espeon clamped down on [Shadow Bug]’s head. Then, with a hard tug, it pulled out its whole body from the [Shadow Cave]!

Upon being lifted in midair, [Shadow Bug]’s tail, which had always been hidden in the shadow, was finally exposed to the air.

It turned out to be a soft appendage that looked like a snail's head, on which there were eyes, a nose, and a mouth!

And the red side's magic ball was adsorbed to the mouth of the appendage.

……

"So this is the head?"

Dark took on a look of surprise.

Like almost everyone who saw [Shadow Bug] for the first time, he instinctively thought that its spindle-shaped front end was the head, which could be used to dig holes in the shadows.

But he never imagined that it was actually a tail, and that the "tail" hidden in the shadow was its real head.

While feeling amazed at the wonders of the constitution of living things, Dark mercilessly issued Espeon an order to attack.

"Espeon!"

Espeon's red gem immediately glowed. [Mindpower], which continued to consume magic energy, once again took action, smashing [Shadow Bug] to the ground.

Bang!

Following this loud crash, the tricky [Shadow Bug] finally dissipated into light spots of magic energy, the red side’s magic ball adsorbed to it thereby falling down.

Meowth, whose claws had long since been extended, came running as fast as the wind, raised its paw, and ruthlessly swung it down.

Slash!

At this point in the duel, the red side’s magic ball was the first to be damaged!

[Magic energy: 8000→6569]

Meowth's base attack power was 1500.

After clawing it with all its strength, it tapped its hind feet on the ground, pirouetted like a dancer, and promptly unleashed its second slash!

Slash!

[Magic energy: 6569→5070]

But when Meowth wanted to continue its onslaught, the magic ball suddenly trembled and fled up at the critical moment, soaring into the sky!

Stuart Fawn, who finally had his hands free, exerted all the magic energy in his body to haul the magic ball high up in the air.

"Tch." Meowth stuck out its tongue and licked its paw, yet to have had its fill.

If this was the Rookie League, the life barrier of only 2000 magic energy points would have already been completely shattered at this moment.

But immediately afterwards, Meowth abruptly turned its head. The ghastly air emanating from the red side’s area made a slight shiver creep up its skin.

BOOM!

The "black vessel" hovering in the air suddenly exploded at this moment.

A brand new magical spirit was born from the [Sealing Vessel]!

……

On the commentator's tribune, Zach Wilson's eyes lit up as he loudly exclaimed, "Another miracle! Could this be the that has been long-lost in the dueling world? A vessel within a vessel within a vessel?"

Wilson's unclear commentary left the audience puzzled.

But in short, Stuart Fawn had indeed used [Sealing Vessel] and the [Ghost King Serpent] sealed inside it to summon yet another second-tier magical spirit!

Upon breaking through the black mist, what appeared before everyone's eyes was a black humanoid figure wrapped in fine black mesh that looked like a "ninja".

The only part of its face that was exposed was a pair of scarlet eyes. A venomous snake wrapped around its neck, and while its figure was slender and flat, it was unusually tall, with three "kunai" strapped on the outside of each leg.

The "ninja", who emerged leaping on one foot with both hands forming a seal, pulled out a kunai from the side of its leg as soon as it landed on the ground. Then, it lifted its veil, raised its head, and inserted the kunai into its mouth—performing a "sword swallowing" trick.

Afterwards, it stuck out its tongue and licked the corners of its mouth as if it had tasted something delicious, making people feel befuddled.

……

"Jester Ninja, Shadow Stealth!"

Having successfully "rescued" the magic ball, Stuart Fawn immediately issued a command.

[Jester Ninja] promptly reeled in its penchant for theatrics and stepped into one of the [Shadow Caves], slinking into it like a ninja using his escape technique.

When everyone thought that it was going to hide inside, it actually burst out of the [Shadow Cave] in just two seconds!

At that moment, the people who were caught off guard only saw a black shadow zooming out with incredible speed, rushing straight into the sky.

There was something attached to the back of the black shadow, fearsomely spreading like a pair of wings!

As the wind howled, the situation abruptly changed!

……

As Dark’s gaze swept past [Jester Ninja]'s back, he noticed that the target it was charging towards was the blue side's magic ball!

It seemed that after experiencing the initial fierce battle, Stuart Fawn finally understood that his magical spirits didn’t have the overwhelming advantage it would take to crush him, so he promptly decided to change his strategy.

And the droplet of ink he dropped into [Shadow Cave] earlier should be a type of magical spirit that could attach itself to ghost-type or shadow-type magical spirits similar to Emma’s [Golden Worm], or an [equipment card] with similar effects.

In short, with the drop of ink attached to it, [Jester Ninja] had gained the ability to fly.

Adding up the skill of [Shadow Stealth] on top of it, it would become a true "master of the land and sky"!

……

Facing such a magical spirit who could fly in the sky and dive beneath the earth, if he simply stuck with controlling the magic ball to evade it, being caught was just a matter of time.

"Then just go down."

With clear awareness, Dark promptly flicked his hand, causing the blue side's magic ball to plummet down and return to the blue side's summoning area.

In the blue side's summoning area, where both [Shuckle] and [Sylveon] were, there would be no need to fear such a 5-star magical spirit.

[Jester Ninja]’s charge was met with empty air.

But it suddenly hovered in midair, reached for the side of its leg, and grabbed another kunai in its hand.

The next moment, the kunai was thrown out.

However, there was an extremely thin layer of shadow connected to the end of the kunai, unfurling into a gauze in the air.

Swoosh!

The kunai swiftly stabbed onto [Magical Scribe], and then abruptly exploded.

The exploding shadow energy instantly blew [Magical Scribe] into pieces.

"Do you think I won't figure it out?" Stuart Fawn immediately chimed with a sneer.

Dark didn't say a word. He merely reached out towards the card deck again.

Tick-tock!

The fifth round had come.

　　▼

　　[Lust Ⅲ·Moon]

　　[Push Push Curse]

　　▲

"It's here!"

With a roll of his fingers, Dark grasped [Misdreavus], [Lust III·Moon] and [Pride I] in his right hand.

Three cards, fifteen seconds, and then one of his trump cards would appear in this duel.

Immediately, he looked up at Stuart Fawn's [Jester Ninja] and saw that with a tug of its fingers, the gauze that was spread out by the kunai suddenly bounced back.

Then it stretched out the gauze into a thin strip, raised its head, lifted up its veil, and stuffed the thin strip into its mouth.

"Jester Ninja!"

Stuart Fawn burst out with an angry rebuke.

Thereupon, [Jester Ninja] froze up and let go of its grasp on the thin strip.

But the roar of laughter from some of the audience could already be heard.

[Jester Ninja] grinned like a monkey, putting on a silent smile.

Stuart Fawn immediately issued a command.

[Jester Ninja] instantly put away its smile and quickly dived down.

Using its fingers to pull out the kunai, it hurled it halfway through its dive. As the gauze spread, the kunai shot straight towards the blue side's magic ball.

Sylveon wrapped the magic ball with its feeler and jumped away, successfully dodging it.

But the kunai landed on the ground and exploded at once.

This time, the explosion caused black smoke to rise.

[Jester Ninja] promptly rushed into the smoke and disappeared from sight in an instant.
