Chapter 414: Dark Demon, the King of Wonderland Part 2
"In the name of Dark Demon, magic summon——[Lust III·Moon]!"
The chant coming from [Magical Scribe] rang in his ears, and the light of [Lust] illuminated half the field.
[Ditto] dashed out of [Haunted House], its body continuously expanding under the light of [Lust].
In the meantime, Dark had already started chanting for the next magic card——[Pride I]!
Under the effect of these two magic cards, [Ditto]'s star ranking broke through the first tier and reached the second tier.
With the additional buff [Haunted House] had on [Transform], it was able to break through the limits of its star ranking and partially replicate a third-tier magical spirit.
At the same time, it could also partially replicate the data of entities other than magical spirits.
This meant that it could at most replicate the stats of a third-tier entity at the level of 6-star.
This time, the target Dark chose for it to transform into was the Blood Princess!
"Ditto, Transform!"
Under the blazing light, Ditto's lavender jelly-like body rapidly grew taller and larger, transforming into an entity with an appearance that looked exactly like Ophelia Bullard!
Although the current Ditto only had the strength of Ophelia Bullard at the level of 6-star as well her incomplete data, with the buff from [Wonderland], it could still reach the combat power of a 7-star or even an ordinary 8-star!

[Card name: Phantom Magic Beast (Ditto)]
[Type: spirit card]
[Level: ✪✪✪✪]
[Race: demon-type]
[Attribute: shadow-type]
[Magic energy: 400+800+1000]
[Attack: ???+800]
[Defense: ???+800]
[Ultimate: Blood Magic (incomplete)]
▲
The feedback of information from [Phantom Magic Beast: Ditto]’s magic card made Dark feel more reassured.
The biggest shortcoming of Ditto's [Transform] was its lack of magic energy.
But with the buff from [Wonderland], its mere 400 points of magic energy had increased by a full 800 points. On top of that, because it transformed into the Blood Princess, it also gained a field buff from [Blood Realm], further increasing its magic energy by a full 1000 points.
Now, its magic energy value was an impressive 2200 points!
Ditto had probably never felt such a surge of magic energy before. It fervently let out a joyful cry.
It was just that hearing the sound "Mon Mon" coming out of someone with the appearance of the Blood Princess was truly rather strange...
But except for Robert, no one else paid attention to this.
"Ultimate... Blood Magic? Although it’s incomplete, it still managed to copy this part of the data."
Dark promptly commanded, "Ditto, use [Blood Magic] to disrupt Ophelia Bullard!"
"Essh——!"
Ditto gave a small nod. This time, what came out of its mouth was its best attempt at the word "yes".
It could be seen that it had taken a huge step in "speaking human language".
……
The atmosphere on the field abruptly changed.
The appearance of a second Blood Princess stirred up a huge wave of blood in the [Blood Realm].
When White Gawd turned to look at his mother’s replica, an odd expression appeared on his face which had previously relaxed due to the recovery of Ophelia Bullard's wound.
On the other hand, Ophelia Bullard couldn't hide her astonishment this time.
Dark had never used [Ditto] in the Easter Duel Festival, which led to her having an insufficient understanding of [Ditto].
She originally thought that no matter how magical this magical spirit was, it could at most transform into a magical spirit of the same tier, but she never thought that it could actually transform into herself, a magister!
With a frown, she immediately unleashed her perception to probe Ditto.
Having come back to its senses, Gatomon once again drew its sword. But as if possessing eyes, Ophelia Bullard's hair moved by itself without any command, whizzing back to wrap around its limbs again.
Gatomon’s expression instantly changed. It quickly jumped away, staring at Ophelia Bullard with a vigilant look.
Ophelia Bullard's expression eased a little. Evidently, she had discovered that the "Blood Princess" replicated by Ditto was still behind her in strength.
But Ditto's transformation still gave her some pressure.
"It's time to get a little more serious."
Under everyone's gaze, Ophelia Bullard took out her second magic card.
Different from [Blood Realm], this magic card exuded a "neutral and mild" aura.
This kind of aura appeared very incongruous in Ophelia Bullard's hands.
But in fact, most of Ophelia Bullard's magic cards were like this.
Although it wasn’t light-attributed, it didn't give off any sort of dark vibe.
"Come out, Blood Lad(血童子)."
After merely three seconds of summoning, a spherical magical spirit quickly materialized.
This magical spirit was not big in size. Floating in mid-air like a balloon, it had a cat-like head and four short limbs.
In addition, its ranking was only 1-star!

[Card name: Phantom Magic Beast (Blood Lad)]
[Type: spirit card]
[Level: ✪]
[Race: fairy-type]
[Attribute: fairy-type]
[Magic energy: 100+1000]
[Attack: 100]
[Defense: 100]
[Ultimate: Blood Spring(血之源泉), Blood Craving(血之渴望)]
▲
The unique aura of Phantom Magic Beast made [Blood Lad]’s appearance immediately attract Dark's attention.
Gurgle—
Blood Lad smacked its belly and gargled out.
As Ophelia Bullard flicked her finger, the blood below [Blood Lad]'s feet rapidly outlined the shape of a magic circle, thereby forming a blood magic circle.
Then, a large amount of blood was poured into [Blood Lad]'s body with this blood magic circle as the boundary.
The ball-sized magical spirit began to inflate at a terrifying speed.
In just the blink of an eye, it had become larger than Ophelia Bullard, and was still continuing to expand!
Dark narrowed his eyes, realizing that this Phantom Magic Beast was certainly as unique as his own Eevee and Ditto.
He took the chance to look at the magic card in his hand and made a choice between [Lust III] and [Pride III].
"In the name of Dark Demon, magic summon——[Lust III]!"
DemiDevimon promptly dove under the light of [Lust III] and completed the evolution from [DemiDevimon] to [Black Gatomon].
[Black Gatomon] was not as strong and useful as [Devimon], however, Dark had already begun to prepare for the fusion summoning of [Bastemon].
"Gatomon, use [Swords Dance]!"
Gatomon immediately held [Honedge] to the front, staring at the blade with full concentration.
The face reflected on the blade was full of fighting spirit.
Its momentum suddenly erupted!
The surging airflow spread in all directions, dispersing waves after waves of blood that came rushing.
……
Dark Demon's rapid summoning and Ophelia Bullard's sparse summoning formed a sharp contrast.
This contradiction occurred both due to the difference in their tactical styles, and also due to their different understanding of magic duels.
In other words, it was the difference between a dueler and a combatant.
A dueler well-versed in duel competitions usually liked to summon as many cards as possible at the fastest speed in order to achieve a crushing victory.
But magisters who come from the battlefield were more inclined to attain victory using the least magic cards and magic energy.
They were not in a hurry to use up their cards, because they always had more than one opponent.
Of course, this didn't mean that combatant magisters would never do rapid summoning.
It was just that sometimes, they didn't want to do so.
……
After summoning [Phantom Magic Beast: Blood Lad], Ophelia Bullard simply used Blood Magic to assist it.
In the blink of an eye, [Blood Lad] had inflated into a gigantic sphere with a diameter of five to six meters. Its magic energy, attack, and defense values had also continued to soar with the increase in size, reaching an incredibly terrifying level.
Its limbs, which were short and thick in the first place, had now completely sunk into the gigantic sphere.
Ophelia Bullard stroked the Phantom Magic Beast that had followed her for many years, and then lightly patted it.
Thereupon, [Blood Lad] abruptly began to roll!
At the same time, the monster heads on top of the more than ten blood pillars once again opened their mouths.
It was clear that they had finished charging and were about to fire the second round of lightbeams.
Rumble!
[Blood Lad] rolled forward with a shocking momentum, hurtling towards the territory of [Wonderland] with an overwhelming might.
Its size was still rapidly expanding as it rolled!
Even the tall and sturdy Leomon became extremely small in front of it.
But Leomon was not afraid.
"Hah!"
After letting out a loud shout, Leomon pushed out both of its palms, forcibly stopping the rolling [Blood Lad] in its track.
Then, the evolved [Black Gatomon] swiftly rushed forward and struck [Blood Lad] with an upward swing of [Cat Punch]!
Slash!
The sharp cat claws carved out long claw marks on [Blood Lad]’s skin.
But without a care, [Blood Lad] opened his mouth and inhaled. More and more blood poured into its body, to the point all the blood around it was sucked dry.
Afterwards, neither did it use [Self-explosion] like some of its terrifying fellow monsters, nor did it grow any bizarre tentacles. It simply turned its mouth to the back and rapidly exhaled!
The energy accumulated in its body burst out in an instant, giving it a terrifying thrust akin to a rocket propulsion.
Leomon's expression abruptly changed. Unable to hold on any longer, it was instantly knocked down by [Blood Lad] and flung to the side.
Seeing how [Blood Lad], who was unstoppable after knocking Leomon away, was about to pulverize all the rides in Wonderland and crush everyone, Dark Demon merely called out, "Shuckle."
"Mon Mon!"
As Shuckle's gaze turned sharp, the white light representing psychic power instantly burst out.
Ultimate——[Power Split]!
[Blood Lad]’s power was instantly reduced by half.
But its momentum had yet to be exhausted.
With Shuckle's weight, it would be near impossible for it to stop [Blood Lad]. But Shuckle still stood in front of Dark and swung its tiny fist at the enormous [Blood Lad].
Bang!
The force coming from [Blood Lad]’s body was partly exerted on an outlet, at least slowing down its rolling speed.
But the impact of collision caused Shuckle to be instantly shoved underneath [Blood Lad]’s body and subsequently run over.
Although Shuckle didn't receive much damage, it had been trampled over.
But thanks to its blocking, Dark had successfully stepped away.
Dark's focus was not on [Blood Lad].
Gatomon, who had finished accumulating power for [Swords Dance], once again raised the [Holy Sword] and ran towards Ophelia Bullard.
The blood in its path swiftly parted under Ditto's control, making it gain even more traction as it ran.
Even the wind blades wrapped around its body could effectively cut off Ophelia Bullard's long hair.
When the momentum reached its peak, the slash boosted to the highest degree by [Swords Dance] would be unstoppable, killing all monsters!
……
As Ophelia Bullard turned to look at Gatomon who was rushing towards her, an imperceptible trace of nostalgia flashed in her eyes.
The aura of the "holy sword" was so familiar to her.
And yet, the current her could only feel pain upon coming into contact with it.
Ophelia Bullard’s look of indifference finally crumbled.
Her demeanor gradually returned to the way it was when Dark first met her in the goblin’s antique bookstore.
"But it's still not enough..."
Letting out a soft sigh, Ophelia Bullard felt the fluctuations of the ritual and closed her eyes.
The holy sword was invincible, but its wielder was not.
In an actual battle, no one would let the sword take over their body.
At this moment, all the monster heads on the blood pillars took aim and once again fired out the thick blood-red lightbeams, bombarding Gatomon.
Gatomon's forward march was immediately impeded. It had no choice but to move left and right to dodge the lightbeams.
Meanwhile, Ophelia Bullard had started summoning her third magic card.
The blood around her was restlessly writhing, but under the pressure of her magic energy, it ultimately failed to erupt.
The gap between her and Ditto was still far too big.
The moment the summoning was successfully completed, all the blood in the entire hall suddenly surged up and madly poured into the magic card held high in her hand.
Even those ten or so blood pillars also reverted into magic energy.
The [Blood Realm] instantly dried up.
A humanoid magical spirit appeared beside Ophelia Bullard.
The fluctuations of the ritual suddenly intensified!
