Chapter 665 “Request for Subscription” Dak Demon Infinite Summon (10k)
When talking about “Lightning Flash,” one cannot help but mention the famous actor “Pikachu’s” golden Z-shaped tremble.
Dak pondered slightly and realized the operability of this ultimate skill.
Firstly, as an ultimate skill that significantly increases speed, “Lightning Flash” can enhance attack power through increased speed. Even when “Dulong Mesia” is shot out as an arrow, it can use “Lightning Flash” for a second acceleration, adjust its direction, and instantly defeat the enemy.
Secondly, after being shot out, “Dulong Mesia” can rapidly return to the launch point using “Lightning Flash” and be reloaded for another shot.
If combined with its third ultimate skill “Hold On,” almost every “Dulong Mesia” could be launched twice.
[Hold On: Within thirty seconds after successfully releasing, even if hit by a fatal blow once, Dulong Mesia retains one last drop of blood. If used continuously within an hour, the success rate of each use decreases to the previous one.]
From the information, “Hold On” is an active version of “Sturdy,” providing a chance to survive a lethal blow.
This ensures that “Dulong Mesia” won’t die from the recoil force when launched as an arrow.
…
“Penetration, Lightning Flash, and Hold On… These three ultimate skills indeed align with the arrow positioning of Dulong Mesia.”
“Of course, they also fit the assassin role!”
After a brief analysis, Dak turned his attention to Dulong Ballet’s third ultimate skill—”Dragon Dance!”
[Dragon Dance: Vigorously dance in a mysterious way to boost aura, greatly increasing attack and speed! The higher the aura, the more the attack and speed increase, up to a maximum of 50% of the base attack and speed.]
This is clearly a type of ultimate skill similar to “Solo Sword Sheath’s” ultimate skill—”Sword Dance.”
However, compared to “Sword Dance,” which can boost attack by a minimum of 50% and a maximum of 100%, “Dragon Dance” only boosts up to 50%. But simultaneously, it can also increase speed!
This is the biggest difference between “Dragon Dance” and “Sword Dance.”
High speed is Dulong Ballet’s greatest advantage, and now this advantage is further amplified, making it particularly terrifying.
Its final ultimate skill, “Meteor Swarm (Dragon Star Swarm),” provides a crucial magical damage capability!
[Meteor Swarm: Dulong Ballet summons meteors, causing them to fall like shooting stars, inflicting devastating damage on the target area. Due to the reaction force, its own magical power will decrease significantly after use.]
Despite “Meteor Swarm” having a side effect of reducing magical power, Dulong Ballet actually has no other spells besides “Meteor Swarm”—meaning there are no side effects!
The power of “Meteor Swarm” goes without saying; its ultra-long range and large area make it highly practical.
Thus, Dulong Ballet now possesses complete single-target physical and area magical damage capabilities.
After reviewing all ultimate skills, Dak picked up the mana spirit card of Dulong Ballet, ready to summon!
What kind of spirit or demon this mana spirit card holds would depend on the upcoming test!
Similarly relying on “Greed Slime II” and its split body as sacrifices, Dak finally summoned Dulong Ballet through sacrificial summoning.
A mana spirit created using “Bliss Fruit”炼成 naturally possesses intelligence.
As soon as Dulong Ballet appeared, it looked around vividly, with two “Dulong Mesias” quietly emerging from its horn launch ports, observing the world timidly.
Dak looked up and observed.
With a length of over three meters, Dulong Ballet’s body looked unexpectedly slender, but compared to dragon species, it was still considered small.
Its tail was thick and long, occupying more than half of its body length, leaving the rest of its body approximately one and a half meters.
In short, it could barely be ridden.
“Dulong—”
Dak extended his hand, and Dulong Ballet floated over, obediently lowering its head like an invisible fighter jet, rubbing against his palm.
The two tiny “Dulong Mesias” directly emerged from the launch ports and drifted over like ghosts, circling around it and calling softly, their voices filled with adoration.
Such an independent individual didn’t seem like an unconscious fragment of Dulong Ballet.
After communicating with them, Dak conducted a brief sacrificial summoning experiment with one of the “Dulong Mesias.”
The result was satisfactory; this “Dulong Mesia” could indeed be offered as a sacrifice.
Only, as an attachment to Dulong Ballet, it would return to the mana spirit card when Dulong Ballet’s summoning was canceled.
After confirming this, Dak took a deep breath and began the most important experiment—the evolution experiment of “Dulong Mesia”!
…
“First, choose one ‘Dulong Mesia.'”
“Then, usually summon ‘Bliss II.'”
“Finally, usually summon ‘Bliss III.'”
…
The thing to be verified in this evolution experiment was already determined when “Bliss II” came into play!
Surrounded by the glow of “Bliss II,” a “Bliss” emblem naturally appeared above its head.
Although it did not evolve into a three-star subspecies like “Curse Cage: Agumon,” the “Bliss” emblem on its head proved that it could absorb the power of “Bliss.”
In the subsequent experiment using “Bliss III,” “Dulong Mesia” indeed evolved!
The “Dulong Mesia” used as the experimental subject quickly grew taller under the ambiguous pink glow, evolving from a half-meter-long dragon into a roughly three times longer chubby dragon!
Compared to the relatively slender “Dulong Ballet,” “Dulong Qi” was indeed somewhat short and stout.
Dak looked at the “Dulong Qi” that resembled “Dulong Ballet” except for the lack of a launch port on its horns, immediately focusing on the “Dulong Mesia” resting on its head!
“How did this ‘Dulong Mesia’ come about?”
A strange thought suddenly surfaced.
“Diy Sheng” appeared in Dak’s mind.
“Dulong Qi” belongs to the babysitting Pokémon category. It is said that if it doesn’t have a “Dulong Mesia” resting on its head, it cannot calm down and might even try to put other Pokémon on its head.
But unlike “Dulong Ballet,” “Dulong Qi” lacks a launch port and cannot shoot “Dulong Mesia” as an arrow.
“What a pity there isn’t ‘Bliss IV.'”
Dak said regretfully, then suddenly took out a “Bliss III? Moon” and activated it on the “Dulong Mesia” resting on “Dulong Qi’s” head!
Under the golden pink glow, this “Dulong Mesia” evolved again into a “Dulong Qi” with a “Dulong Mesia” on its head!
Dak’s eyes twitched slightly, suddenly feeling like he had accidentally found a version bug!
Even though there is no “Bliss IV,” using just “Bliss III” can also evolve multiple “Dulong Qis” and “Dulong Mesias.”
The only limitation to forming a Dulong army is the number of “Bliss III” cards!
…
However…
“Dulong Qi” evolves from “Dulong Mesia” of “Dulong Ballet.”
Based on the rule that the summoning of “Dulong Ballet” leads to the disappearance of “Dulong Mesia,” if the initial “Dulong Mesia” evolved into “Dulong Qi” regresses back to “Dulong Mesia,” then the “Dulong Qi” evolved from “Dulong Mesia” and the “Dulong Mesia” themselves would naturally disappear.
In other words, they share a fifteen-minute evolution duration.
Fifteen minutes later, regardless of how many “Dulong Qis” and “Dulong Mesias” evolve, they will all vanish.
Moreover, no matter how much they “proliferate,” they do not possess intelligence.
“Dulong Ballet” mana spirit card is of the “Legion” type, but it only has three intelligent units and does not increase due to other reasons.
Dak tried to delve deeper into the data of “Dulong Qi.”
[Card Name: Dulong Qi]
[Type: Elemental Card]
[Level: ????]
[Race: Dragon Type]
[Attribute: Dragon/Ethereal]
[Mana: 2000]
[Attack: 2600]
[Defense: 1500]
[Ultimate Skills: Dragon Wave, Phantom Strike, Guard, Echo]
“There is no ‘Dragon Arrow’!”
“Dragon Arrow” is a unique ultimate skill of “Dulong Ballet,” even “Dulong Qi” does not have it.
Instead, it has a dragon-type ultimate skill called “Dragon Wave.”
[Dragon Wave: Dulong Qi spews out a dragon-shaped shockwave from its mouth, causing damage to the target.]
Though the power of “Dragon Wave” is not weak, it is not particularly outstanding.
Its second ultimate skill is an ethereal-type ultimate skill—”Phantom Strike!”
[Phantom Strike: Dulong Qi can carry Dulong Mesia into shadow strike mode.]
The power of “Phantom Strike” is slightly higher than “Dragon Wave.” The thirty-second “shadow strike” state allows it to evade most dangers, and the additional effect of carrying “Dulong Mesia” into “shadow strike” mode is significant.
At the same time, “Dulong Qi” also has the ultimate skill—”Guard!”
[Guard: Within thirty seconds, enter guard state, completely blocking the opponent’s attacks, unaffected by most ultimate skills. If used continuously within an hour, the success rate of each use decreases to the previous one.]
The three attributes of “Dulong Qi” are clearly biased towards strong offensive capabilities, but its moveset is surprisingly functional.
Dak couldn’t help but look at the last ultimate skill.
“Echo?”
He revealed astonishment.
[Echo (Dragon): Dulong Qi attacks the target with a dragon roar, causing damage. When multiple dragons use Echo together, the first one ignores speed, and the rest immediately use it, doubling the power.]
“At last, I’ve encountered a mana spirit with the ‘Echo’ ultimate skill!”
The power of “Echo” in Pokémon games is only 60 points, but if multiple companions use “Echo” simultaneously.
Not only can it be instantly cast, but the power doubles, jumping from the unremarkable 60 to 120!
The power of each subsequent companion using “Echo” remains at 120!
A power of 120 is equivalent to the strength of the grass-type move Solar Beam!
However, the current “Echo” seems to be a special version for dragons…
I wonder if I can derive a standard version of the ultimate skill: “Echo”?
While thinking, Dak couldn’t help but imagine summoning hundreds of “Dulong Qi” and using “Echo” to overwhelm the enemy, sending a chill down his spine and bringing him back to reality.
Afterwards, Dark again took out a “Bliss III? Moon,” evolving the “Dulong Qi” with “Dulong Meixia” into a new “Dulong Qi.”
Then he sat down in front of the experimental table, recording data while patiently waiting.
After ten minutes or so,
When the evolution time for the first “Dulong Qi” arrived, the “Dulong Qi” and “Dulong Meixia” that evolved afterwards indeed gradually disappeared.
“Calculating this way, relying solely on the ‘Bliss’ cards to stack numbers, assuming there are countless ‘Bliss III,’ evolving one ‘Dulong Qi’ requires three seconds of casting and three seconds of cooldown, totaling six seconds. Roughly calculated, one minute for ten, fifteen minutes for one hundred fifty…”
“One hundred fifty ‘Dulong Qi’ releasing ‘Roundelay’ simultaneously…”
“It’s still not enough!”
“Perhaps it will only be possible to quickly build up thousands upon thousands of ‘Dulong Army’ once I can evolve Mana Spirits solely through mental power.”
Dark patted his Mana Spirit Card, slightly yearning.
Afterwards, he introduced “Dulong Baruto” to the Mana Spirits, then entrusted the basic education tasks of “Dulong Baruto” and “Dulong Meixia” to others, and returned the Draconic Grass back to the clubroom. Then he calmly summarized and reflected on these two炼成 experiments.
From each foundational炼成 experiment, he could taste some subtleties of Directed Formulation.
Over time, he naturally mastered them.
…
At noon, Dark Demon came alone to the canteen for a simple meal, then put away the Mana Spirits one by one, carefully adjusted his deck, and entered the Outdoor Duel Arena.
On Friday afternoon, the students who had been busy all week finally had free time, and the highly anticipated news that Dark Demon was about to challenge and defeat the top students from the fifth year, after climbing three levels, suddenly resurfaced and spread like wind throughout the castle.
Students from various grades gathered in groups and headed towards the Outdoor Duel Arena.
Last weekend, Dark Demon’s victory over Patricia Boline from the fourth year at the Mana Academy was still vivid in everyone’s memory. This week, he accepted a challenge from a fifth-year student. What would the outcome be?
The students whispered and discussed excitedly.
Not long after, the leaders of various large clubs also entered the circular area, sitting down to patiently wait.
With the opening of the “Golden Cup,” Dark Demon’s duel skills were visibly improving.
If he could still win against that fifth-year student, the Noble Academy would essentially have a terrifying ace capable of climbing three levels!
The other three academies would need more than just effort if they wanted to win in this year’s Academy Cup!
Therefore, many of the students watching the battle had unusually serious expressions.
In such an atmosphere, Edwin Clarissa, the president of the History Research Society of Nobles, suddenly asked Mike Owen beside him, “By the way, who is Fern Morse?”
Mike Owen: “…”
Fern Morse, today’s opponent of Dark Demon, is currently a fifth-year student at the Fool’s Academy.
In Mike Owen’s view, Fern Morse is not someone who stays hidden in the shadows.
In fact, over the past few years, Fern Morse has been quite active as an outstanding student at the Fool’s Academy, though not to the extent of drawing excessive attention.
Therefore, it’s not surprising that Edwin Clarissa, who is indifferent to external affairs, does not know him.
However, since the start of this semester, Fern Morse’s activity level has increased even further, becoming more noticeable—he is certainly not someone to be taken lightly!
Although Mike Owen particularly admired Dark Demon, he was also worried about today’s duel.
…
Gradually, first-year, second-year, third-year… more and more people familiar with Dark Demon took their seats.
Pandora Dragon rarely sat with members of the Literature Club, chatting softly with the club president.
Beside her were Vini Scarlet and Patricia Boline.
Clearly, they were all members of the Literature Club.
In the Mana Academia, where knowledge is power, it is no surprise that members of the Literature Club possess overwhelming strength.
As the backbone of the Mana Academy, they could not ignore Dark Demon’s sudden rise.
…
In the area where the second-year nobles gathered, Diana and Rose were fully armed, ready to go. They came in the afternoon to watch Dark’s duel and then planned to enter the dungeon to become stronger.
Hard work may not guarantee perpetual leadership, but lack of effort means falling behind.
There were many second-year students who shared this mindset.
…
As the center of this highly anticipated event, Dark Demon had already entered the competitors’ rest room ahead of time.
At 1:30 PM.
Since Fern Morse did not enter the competitors’ rest room, Dark entered the competitors’ passage under staff reminders and walked toward the field.
Upon arriving below the dueling venue, he saw Fern Morse walking up the competitors’ platform, with his hair dyed in seven colors standing out prominently.
“Is this not specifically dyed for the masquerade ball?”
“Or did he dye it and never remove it?”
“No, could it be that he dyed it again for today’s duel?”
Dark recalled his senior’s appearance at the masquerade ball and couldn’t help but want to comment.
At that time, this senior suddenly appeared after he conquered a resource point, wearing a tailcoat, stepping in leather shoes, with a Boze mask on his face, painted with two red blushes, making the eerie look absurdly comical, unforgettable.
His accompanying Mana Spirit was also a “Demon” wearing the same Boze mask!
That “Demon” mask was exceptionally fierce, with two horns sprouting from its head, and very lush hair.
Apart from that, its entire body was covered in a wide robe, exuding mystery and terror.
It was precisely because of this Mana Spirit that Dark looked at Fern Morse’s strength in a higher regard.
He walked onto the red side competitors’ platform, placing his deck into the card slots on the spellboard, then activated the spellboard and looked up.
This was the first time he saw Senior Fern Morse’s face.
Without that absurdly eerie Boze mask, Fern Morse actually wasn’t bad-looking.
Though his appearance couldn’t be called handsome, his features were clear, recognizable, and his skin was extremely fair, so his colorful spiky hair didn’t look out of place.
To be honest, his face wasn’t ugly.
If anything was to blame for tarnishing his reputation, it would definitely be his mouth!
“I never thought you’d accept my challenge!”
Fern Morse began whispering at the start.
Of course, because he had activated the amplifier, “whispering” was merely a description of his tone.
Dark clearly saw that he had been holding this in for a long time, probably pondering this sentence since receiving the challenge notification last week, and now finally had the chance to say it.
“Shouldn’t it be… not him?”
Looking at Fern Morse’s unchanged demeanor, Dark couldn’t help but think.
He originally analyzed that Fern Morse’s sudden rise might be related to the “Underworld Fire,” coincidentally, Patricia Boline also mentioned that there was a third “Underworld Fire” holder in the academy… but now it seemed a bit less likely?
For this reason, he clenched his right fist, letting a small “Underworld Fire” escape slightly, deliberately revealing his aura.
But Fern Morse’s expression remained unchanged.
Dark frowned inwardly and replied, “Because when I saw your name, I remembered meeting you at the masquerade ball, so I casually accepted it.”
Fern Morse pursed his lips and smiled, “So it seems my image and temperament intimidated you.”
Dark curiously asked, “Is there any logic to this?”
But Fern Morse did not directly answer, instead turning to say, “Since you dare to accept my challenge, I acknowledge your courage.”
After saying that, he adjusted his multicolored glowing hair, acting as if he were the best.
Seeing this, Dark suddenly felt uneasy… Could this Senior Fern Morse simply be crazy?
Hmm…
Sighing slightly in his heart, Dark still maintained the most basic courtesy, saying, “Senior Fern Morse, shall we start the duel?”
“Are you challenging me?” Surprisingly, Fern Morse’s emotions were high, and he chuckled, “Since I’m here, I naturally have no reason to refuse your challenge. However, the upcoming duel may not be as intense as you imagine, because it will be a… slaughter show!”
The atmosphere instantly tightened.
A cold wind blew between the competitors’ platforms.
Outside the arena, the spectators reacted strongly to this statement, heating up the entire venue.
Due to Dark Demon’s consistently excellent performance, the majority of the audience had positive impressions of him.
A small group of Fern Morse’s fans were instantly overwhelmed by the collective will, and the entire spectator area was filled with cheers for Dark Demon and boos for Fern Morse.
“That’s the feeling I like!”
But Fern Morse was delighted rather than worried, a hint of madness in his slightly narrow eyes.
“Rushing against the tide, trampling the unwelcome will, that is what I seek! Are you ready, second-year student? This is your last chance to speak to me with a smile!”
Dark frowned sharply.
“Beep—”
Seeing the atmosphere was just right, the referee immediately blew the whistle.
Both sides’ contestants instantly focused.
No matter how much they boasted before the duel, once it started, it was purely a test of strength.
Dark wouldn’t get angry at what Fern Morse said; he just thought this person… or maybe really was crazy?
“Let the duel tell me the answer.”
Dark whispered, pressing his hand on the top of his deck.
“Tik-tok!”
After the words “Standby Phase,” a countdown of “30s” appeared.
Both sides immediately drew their cards!
As five Mana Spirit Cards were drawn, Dark Demon lowered his head slightly, his expression slightly tense.
[Dulong Baruto]
[Magic Beast: Ditto]
[Bliss III? Moon]
[Gluttony III]
[Underworld Soul Ring]
Dark was very certain that he had shuffled his deck.
That’s why he drew “Dulong Baruto” at the beginning!
Though “Dulong Baruto” was practically a bug, its real bug was mainly in actual combat.
Entering the Mana Duel arena, the inability to special summon was its biggest drawback.
In Dark’s deck system, summoning a seven-star Mana Spirit Card was not easy.
Because seven stars already belonged to the third tier, it required at least one second-tier Mana Spirit Card as a sacrifice.
“Luto,” was not considered good luck.
Of course, the opposite piece of good news was that he also drew the 【Magical Beast: Ditto】!
And it was even a Three-star 【Magical Beast: Ditto】!
Although in reality, he had only put one Three-star 【Magical Beast: Ditto】 in his deck.
The acquisition of the 【Magical Beast: Ditto】 could be considered a savior for this opening move.
Without “Ditto,” this opening would have been thoroughly disastrous!
It would have been a level where conceding on the spot wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
Dark picked out the 【Magical Beast: Ditto】 from his hand; this was his only choice at the start of the round.
Since he didn’t need much thinking, he still had time to observe the opponent.
However, Fern Morse was radiant, holding three cards in his left hand and two in his right, with bright eyes.
“Drip!”
“Battle Phase (1)” [30s]
The end of the preparation phase meant the official start of the battle phase.
Both competitors did not hesitate and began their summons.
“In the name of Dark Demon, Mana Summoning —【Magical Beast: Ditto】!”
“In the name of Fern Morse, Mana Summoning — ‘Demon’s Face’!”
Both reached their limits in summoning.
In just three seconds, summon lights appeared in both the red and blue summoning zones.
However, Fern Morse’s Mana Spirit manifested significantly faster than Dark’s!
There was a slight gap between them in basic summoning.
But this gap was not insurmountable.
Dark had confidence in the 【Magical Beast: Ditto】—just as he thought so, Ditto suddenly lifted its head upon appearing, and its entire body contorted before settling into the form of Little Dak!
Dark instantly felt dizzy, with three black lines sliding down his forehead.
“Clap clap!”
The “Ditto” dressed in a black tuxedo clapped in the red summoning zone, looking calmly at the opponent.
After switching to the three-star skin, it clearly became more confident and changed its behavior.
At this moment, the “Demon’s Face” summoned by Fern Morse had already unleashed its ultimate skill!
The appearance of the “Demon’s Face” was a giant mask with a diameter of two meters.
This mask emitted dark red light, with horns on top, bloodshot eyes, sharp fangs, and a fierce face.
Following Fern Morse’s instructions, the “Demon’s Face” opened its massive mouth the instant it appeared, letting out an extremely eerie howl.
Hearing this sound, the “Ditto” in the red summoning zone felt dizzy.
The “Demon’s Face” eyes turned even more bloodshot, spewing thick black smoke that quickly spread towards the red half of the field.
“Ditto, transform,” Dark commanded without hesitation.
The “Demon’s Face” was a well-known demon race, particularly troublesome among Three-star Mana Spirits.
[Card Name: Demon’s Face]
[Type: Elemental Card]
[Level: ???]
[Race: Demon Race]
[Attribute: Dark, Poison]
[Mana: 1500]
[Attack: 500]
[Defense: 1500]
[Ultimate Skills: Ghost Howl, Poison Smoke, Demon Mask]
Control targets with “Ghost Howl,” cover the field with “Poison Smoke,” causing all Mana Spirits entering the field to fall into “Poison” status and lose health continuously.
Then, transform itself into “Demon Mask,” attaching to the face of subsequent allied Mana Spirits, protecting them from “Poison Smoke” and providing overall mana and defense boosts.
If Ditto did not transform now, it might immediately succumb to poison!
“Busy…”
In a dazed state, Ditto managed to activate its ultimate skill—”Transform”!
Its body contour suddenly twisted, and when it stabilized, it had transformed into the “Demon’s Face.”
After successfully transforming, Ditto was no longer affected by “Poison Smoke,” and the dizziness gradually subsided.
Dark held the 【Bliss III Moon】, patiently waiting for Fern Morse’s next move.
Under normal circumstances, starting with the “Demon’s Face,” the next summon would likely be another powerful Mana Spirit capable of equipping the “Demon’s Face.”
Ditto had to use “Transform” at the beginning, and the next transformation would require three minutes, starting from the seventh round.
If Fern Morse summoned another Mana Spirit decisively, Dark would find it hard to cope.
However, observing the hand, there was no absolute solution.
Dark flicked his finger, switching the 【Bliss III Moon】 to the 【Nether Soul Ring】!
After these three seconds, the cooldown for regular summoning was ready for Fern Morse, who indeed started another summon!
But seeing that Dark’s hand wasn’t strong, Fern Morse used an Item Card to summon a “Vase” in the blue summoning zone!
This “Vase” was even larger than a Mana Guidance Ball, with bloody patterns carved on its surface, and demonic horns growing on either side of the handle.
“It’s a ‘Demon Vase’!”
Thick black smoke soon obscured the “Demon Vase,” but Dark Diemon on the red competitor platform already recognized its shape.
With the “Demon Vase,” Fern Morse could special summon a second-tier demon race without any cost!
However, the difficulty of creating a “Demon Vase” should be comparable to “High Fusion.”
Fern Morse was a fifth-year student, but being able to create a “Demon Vase” was still surprising.
He seemed to indeed possess the audacity.
After summoning the “Demon Vase,” Fern Morse’s smile couldn’t be contained.
He looked at Dark, picked up his cards, and chuckled, “I still have three Mana Cards left, all six-star Mana Spirits. Do you know what this means?”
Dark smiled back, “It means that without the ‘Demon Vase,’ you would be stuck.”
Fern Morse laughed loudly, “Unfortunately, I’m not the one stuck! In the name of Fern Morse, Mana Summoning — ‘Snuff Demon’!”
The “Demon Vase” in the blue summoning zone sensed the summoning aura and immediately spewed thick white smoke.
And the six-star Mana Spirit — “Snuff Demon” — appeared out of nowhere amidst the thick smoke!
Dark narrowed his eyes, sensing that the mana stored within the “Demon Vase” had been depleted by half.
This indicated that the “Demon Vase” couldn’t continuously summon second-tier Mana Spirits.
Perhaps three six-star demons were its limit!
[Card Name: Snuff Demon]
[Type: Elemental Card]
[Level: ??????]
[Race: Demon Race]
[Attribute: Dark]
[Mana: 2500]
[Attack: 2700]
[Defense: 1400]
[Ultimate Skills: Smoke Demon, Smoke Ring Curse, Dark Shadow]
The “Snuff Demon,” equipped with the ultimate skill “Smoke Demon,” could even emerge from dense smoke without relying on the “Demon Vase.”
However, since Fern Morse chose to rely on the “Demon Vase,” special summoning from the smoke might come with some hidden costs—like absorbing most of the “Poison Smoke”!
The “Snuff Demon” was almost entirely composed of rolling black smoke. Its upper body was extremely robust, while its lower body shrunk into a smoke ring. Its massive head resembled a bull’s head without horns, with a large nose that spewed gray smoke.
“Snuff Demon” — “Dark Shadow”!
Despite his flamboyant exterior, Fern Morse was precise in commanding Mana Spirits.
The “Snuff Demon” instantly inflated upon appearing, growing from two meters tall to five to six meters, and its shadow dramatically increased under the manipulation of dark power, seemingly gaining self-awareness as it spread over the red half of the field.
Beside it, the “Demon’s Face” flew toward the “Snuff Demon.”
The “Snuff Demon” stretched out its hand to grab the “Demon’s Face” and place it on its own face.
At that moment, gray fire ignited around the collar of the “Demon’s Face.”
Dark tapped his Mana Card, and the 【Nether Soul Ring】 was released.
Though he had no available sacrificial summon, merely using the 【Nether Soul Ring】 to catch first-tier Mana Spirits was also a strategy.
He flicked his finger, and the 【Nether Soul Ring】 forcibly dragged the “Demon’s Face” back to the red half of the field.
The “Snuff Demon” momentarily lost its grip, instinctively pursuing.
The “Dark Shadow” from the opposite side pounced onto the “Ditto” under the “Poison Smoke.”
But the “Ditto” transformed into the “Demon’s Face” and suddenly let out a howl.
The piercing scream echoed throughout the arena once again.
The “Snuff Demon” hit directly felt slightly dizzy.
Then, “Ditto” also spat out thick “Poison Smoke,” pushing the “Poison Smoke” from the red half to the blue half.
“A gust of cold wind blew.”
The “Dark Shadow” suddenly emerged from beneath the “Ditto,” opening its massive mouth and swallowing the “Ditto.”
Transformed into the “Demon’s Face,” the “Ditto” was instantly entangled by the “Dark Shadow,” as if wrapped in a black shadow membrane, with visible struggles.
Dark flicked his finger, and the light of the 【Bliss III Moon】 gathered into a column, shooting straight down.
The “Ditto” inside the “Dark Shadow” emitted intense light, rapidly expanding after the transformation ended.
Even ordinary transformations formed sharp spikes, piercing through the “Dark Shadow’s” curse with the help of the 【Bliss III Moon】.
When the light of the 【Bliss III Moon】 completely vanished, the “Ditto” had transformed into a five-meter-tall giant!
This was not the ultimate skill “Transform,” but rather a simple transformation changing its appearance.
As a Six-star 【Magical Beast: Ditto】 with 2500 points of mana, attack, and defense, even an ordinary transformation would not be inferior to a typical Six-star Mana Spirit.
As the transformation intensified, the outline of the 【Magical Beast: Ditto】 became clearer.
That was a five-meter-tall Dark Demon!
In the audience’s exclamations, the 【Magical Beast: Ditto】 grabbed the “Demon’s Face” restrained by the 【Nether Soul Ring】, covering its own face.
Even if it couldn’t truly “equip,” the “Demon’s Face” could filter out the “Poison Smoke.”
Meanwhile, the “Snuff Demon” was already deeply engulfed in the “Poison Smoke”!
