Chapter 168 Two Fifths of the Dark Demon
***Edited by x10***
→[Phantom Magic Beast: Eevee (Pride II)]
→[Defense:（300+2200）÷ 2=1250]
...
"Guard Split!"
It was Shuckle who used its psychic power - [Guard Split] at the critical moment. Adding Shukle’s 2200 defense points to Eevee's 300 defense points and dividing them equally led to Eevee's defense value to skyrocket from 300 points to 1250 points in an instant!
With Anubis's 900 points of attack, it was impossible to penetrate Eevee's defense at the moment!
Anubis immediately backed away after falling to inflict any injury on Eevee.
It lowered its body and let out a low growl.
There was a trace of black shadow in its eyes.
...
At the critical movement, Dark had no time to give commands at all. It was instantaneous and entirely Eevee and Shuckle's own judgement.
Eevee dropped the defense and stopped Bennu Bird's finishing blow with [Baby-Doll Eyes].
A faint white light appeared on Eevee's body.
Shuckle cast a "shield" on it, preventing Anubis' sneak attack!
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
Before the audience even had a time to react, the two magical spirits carried out an extremely wonderful joint battle.
In the platitude words, this was a wonderful cooperation that was enough to be recorded in a textbook!
But it was not over yet.
Eevee saw an opportunity as Anubis pulled away.
It didn't take the opportunity to counterattack, but turned around and rushed towards Sphynx Cat!
Shuckle's ability had a very short duration and a very long CD.
By the time Eevee pushed back the Sphinx with a claw strike, the psychic brilliance on its body had become very weak.
"Hiss!"
As Sphynx retreated, it hissed unwillingly But its magic energy had bottomed out.
Two rounds had elapsed between the time when Sphynx locked Shuckle using "Shadow Tag" and being forced to retreat .
...
"Damn it!"
Sara gritted her teeth, wishing she could kill the Eevee-chan!
But she still quickly grasped the situation on the summoning field.
Both Anubis and Sphynx Cat's ultimates were still in CD.
Anubis was still fighting, but the Sphynx Cat had reached the point where a breeze might knock it out.
On the other hand, the opposing magical spirits were getting better.
Shuckle had regained mobility.
Eevee was in full swing.
The situation was clearly not in her favor.
But she still had hope.
The Bennu Bird was only affected by the [Baby-Doll Eyes]. Once it recovered, the Magic Ball's life barrier with only 13 magic energy points left would not be able to withstand its blow!
Neither Shuckle nor Eevee were magical spirits that could reach the magic ball in the sky to defend it..
As long as she could hold out until Bennu Bird recovered, she would win!
...
Sara calmed down a little and immediately ordered Anubis to return to defense!
"Thinking from Dark's point of view, Shuckle's movement speed is extremely slow and does not have the ability to use long range attacks."
"Eevee can't take Anubis down quickly."
"His only method now should be sacrifice summoning!"
"But this Eevee is now a two-star magical spirit."
"Two stars plus three-star equals five stars!"
"Unless Dark has a five-star magical spirit card in his hand, I will not lose!"
The exclamations outside the arena did not affect Sara's thoughts.
She gradually became calmer.
"Tick!"
Sara suddenly looked up at the opposite side thirty meters away!
"Dark Demon, what are you going to do?"
...
What was Dark going to do?
While Sara was thinking fast, Dark was also calculating.
There were only twelve cards in his deck.
At the start of the preparation phase, he had drawn five cards.
With two additional cards in the second round.
That left with five.
What was the probability of drawing [Lust III] in the third round?
The answer was……
Two fifths!
"The probability of two-fifths is already very high!"
[30s]
The third round, draw cards!
Dark drew two new magic cards from the deck and checked them immediately.
▼
[Magic Bullet Spell]
[Lust III]
▲
"Yes!"
There was a palpable excitement on his face.
Dark raised [Lust Ⅲ] abruptly!
This magic card with a gold-pink card face suddenly released an extremely strong pink radiance after only less than four seconds of summoning!
Just when the Bennu Bird was beginning to return to normal in the air, it was immediately stunned by the pink light.
Even Anubis froze for a moment.
The students outside the arena stared at the pink glow.
While the students of Magister House subconsciously had an ominous premonition, the students of Noble House took it as a harbinger of a comeback!
Only White Gawd suddenly clenched the [Forbidden Love] in his hand!
The way Dark used [Lust III] was very similar to the way he used [Forbidden Love]!
It was just that [Lust Ⅲ]'s light was stronger than his pink mist, and that charming effect was more overbearing!
But, the charming effect of [Lust Ⅲ] was not its main ability. So after the light faded away, the magical spirit affected by it would quickly return to clarity.
After realizing that Anubis' eyes quickly returned to normal, White couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
"It's still different."
...
Of course it was different!
Originally, the leap from one star to two stars was already shocking enough.
But at this time not only the star rank and the stats of [Phantom Magic Beast: Eevee] were increased, but its card surface had also undergone dramatic changes under the bright pink light!
...
"How is this possible!"
Sara Swati slammed the card table fiercely all of sudden.
Her eyes were full of disbelief.
The audience outside the arena held their breath.
The surrounding area of arena ① became quiet in an instant.
Professor Jones also looked at Eevee's transformation in amazement.
Originally, the Phantom Magic Beast was essentially a phantom beast without a specific form.
They were ethereal and unpredictable.
Their form was uncertain until they were seen.
It could be a cat, a dog, or even a dragon!
But during the creation of a [Phantom Magic Beast] card, the magister would gradually gain more understanding of the beast.
So the moment it was seen by the magister, it would be forever fixed in the form that the magister perceived.
From what Professor Jones understood so far, she had never heard of a [Phantom Magic Beast] that could transform again!
The deeper the knowledge of a person about the Phantom Magic Beast card, the more incredible they would feel seeing this phenomenon.
Dark Demon undoubtedly broke this little common sense and produced results that had never been done before!
"He's only in first year!"
Astonishment followed by admiration.
Professor Jones was very pleased that this genius magister came from her own house.
...
And in the arena.
Under the light of [Lust III], the insignia of [Lust] appeared on Eevee's forehead.
With a hint of pink moonlight released from its forehead.
Its petite body changed dramatically in the light.
From a height of only 0.3 meters, it became 1 meter high in an instant.
Its originally brown and soft hair quickly formed a layer of black.
The ring patterns on its body emitted a pink halo.
It was the representative of the moon who walked in the dark night, and it was the charming spirit that symbolized Lust!
The whole process may seem slow, but it was actually extremely fast.
When it raised its head, all the remaining brilliance was gathered back into its forehead.
Umbreon, at your service!
...
4 seconds later.
Dark pulled out [Pride Ⅰ], unhurried.
With the dark golden light ball injected into Umbreon's body, the table-turner in the arena finally did not run out of the arena.
"Shadow Ball!"
A pitch-black sphere emitting an evil aura shattered Bennu Bird's body in an instant.
The scattered feathers turned into fragments of light and disappeared.
Anubis, who was guarding the Blue Square Magic Ball, tried its best to show its hideous appearance.
But it could be seen from its trembling hind legs that this was just trying to act tough.
...
Sara on the player platform checked the total of six cards in her hand, her breath was unstable.
Immediately after.
Anubis was torn to shreds by the claws of Umbreon who was galloping like gale!
Then the Blue Square Magic Ball appeared unguarded under its claws!
Sara Swati didn't try anymore as they were going to be just useless struggles.
[1000→0]
"The battle is over!"
"Winner: Dark Demon."
...
"Yeah!"
The moment the announcement ended, the Noble House students outside the arena cheered excitedly and rushed to the red player's stage like welcoming a hero.
Although there were still some incomprehensible elements, this duel was undoubtedly the most intense and exciting duel of this competition!
They were acting like they were about to meet the champion!
...
[End Phase]
"Dark Demon!"
Sara's crisp voice was transmitted through the loudspeaker mechanism of the card table.
Dark turned the magic card of [Phantom Magic Beast: Eevee] to receive the light from Umbreon.
At the same time, he raised his head in response.
Sara bit her lower lip hard, holding back the unwillingness in her heart, and glared at Dark, "It's not over yet!"
"Yes." Dark nodded slightly, "I will wait for you in the finals."
...
When Dark stepped off the stage, he was surrounded by his classmates.
"Dark, you are really strong."
"As expected of a Crimson Star winner, you are not like a certain Brave One's son."
"I almost thought you were going to lose at first! Sure enough, your match was the most interesting one!"
"You are really great!"
There were both unpretentious praises and meaningless comparisons.
Noble House students expressed their emotions to the fullest.
Facing the enthusiasm of the classmates, Dark who was surrounded by many students in the center said humbly: "No, I'm just lucky."
...
By the time the students calmed down, it was already the end of the four matches in this round.
Eight players were divided into winners and losers.
Winner Group: ①, ②, ⑤, ⑭
Loser Group: ⑨, ⑮, ⑩, ⑦
Dianna successfully defeated the Fool House student.
Emma also won the duel with the boy from Magister House.
But another Knight House student lost to Fool House's ⑭.
The next round would be knockout matches from both groups, and two people would be selected from each group to compete with each other.
...
During the break time, Dark sat on the bench and sorted out his cards.
In fact, his deck had major flaws.
The most deadly of them was the super-long CD of the deadly sin card series.
The CD of [Pride I] was 59 minutes long.
The CD of [Pride Ⅱ] was an exaggerated 180 minutes!
The CD of [Lust III] was slightly better, 120 minutes.
Although there would be a half-hour gap between each match in the winner group, from the start of the round of 8 to the final, there were only four breaks, a total of 120 minutes.
This meant that he would not be able to use [Pride II] again.
He would only be able to use [Pride I] after two breaks.
And [Lust Ⅲ] could only appear in the finals.
So he must make some adjustments to the deck.
The duel with Saraka Swati also gave him a big wake-up call.
He wasn't the only one making progress in the first year.
Others were also moving fast.
...
Before the next round began.
Dark finally finished sorting out his deck.
First of all, only six magical spirit cards were a must have.
Then, he replaced some useless cards and added some auxiliary cards.
The final result was:
▼
[Phantom Magic Beast: Eevee], [Trash Slime], [Shuckle]
[Gatomon], [Miltank], [Sylveon]
[Push Push Curse], [Obstruction spell], [Obstruction spell]
[Magic Bullet Spell], [Fade Spell], [Blinking Spell]
▲
Still twelve magic cards.
The ratio of magical spirit to other types of magic cards was 1:1.
Even though this deck didn't look very reliable, it was the best adjustment that Dark could make.
After he packed up the adjusted deck, he got up and walked to the bulletin board with the schedule for the next round.
The students chatted quietly around the bulletin board.
When they saw the top eight players coming, they all subconsciously spread out to make way.
Dark greeted the enthusiastic classmates, and then came behind Dianna. She was looking up, looking troubled.
"What's wrong?" Dark asked casually.
Rose turned around and winked at him first.
Dianna turned her head suddenly and said aggrieved: "I'm not happy, I'm going to lose."
Dark looked up at the schedule: "Wasn’t the schedule just announced? Why do you say that you are going to lose...(⊙o⊙)Uh."
However, the first line of the winner group was written: ① vs ②!
...
Winner group:
Arena ①: ① vs ②
Arena ②: ⑤ vs ⑭
Loser group:
Arena ③: ⑨ vs ⑩
Arena ④: ⑦ vs ⑮
...
"So my opponent in the next round is you?"
Dark took Dianna out of the crowd.
Dianna frowned and said in a low voice, "I thought I could at least duel you in the semifinals."
Dark comforted: "You shouldn’t belittle yourself. You have to believe in your magic cards. Even if your opponent is me, you shouldn’t lose any confidence."
Dianna: "But, I don't even have a single second tier magical spirit card!"
Dark: "Magic Duel is not about having higher tier magic cards than other people. Didn’t you see that I almost lost to Sara Swati in the previous duel. Your deck is also very strong, and you are also a strong opponent that I should be careful with!"
Dianna: "A strong opponent? Heh heh. Then I'll do my best!"
Dark: "Mhm, a strong opponent."
