Chapter 666 “Request for Subscription” Dark Demon Six Six Six
The “Poison Smoke” released by the “Face of the Evil Spirit” could not possibly distinguish friend from foe.
However, the “Snuff Demon,” as a demon born from thick smoke, was not significantly harmed even when engulfed in the “Poison Smoke.”
This made it difficult for Fern Morse to summon the next two mana spirits.
Unless he had a way to dispel this “Poison Smoke!”
But at this moment, the “Ditto” wearing the “Face of the Evil Spirit” rushed quickly into the “Poison Smoke.” In a blink, it crossed half the field, and its rubber-like right arm spun like a windmill.
As the rotation speed increased, the right arm stretched gradually.
“Ditto” charged suddenly, shooting its right arm fiercely towards the “Snuff Demon” when it got close.
“Puh!”
Without any hindrance, “Ditto’s” right arm grew like a spear, piercing through the “Snuff Demon’s” body instantly!
“Snuff Demon, grab it!”
Fern Morse shouted abruptly from the blue side platform.
The “Snuff Demon” immediately raised both arms, firmly grabbing “Ditto’s” right arm.
“Smoke Ring Binding!”
Following Fern Morse’s further instructions, the “Snuff Demon” opened its mouth wide, spraying out one huge smoke ring after another.
These smoke rings layered over “Ditto’s” body, with black runes winding around them before contracting tightly, binding “Ditto’s” body.
“In the name of Fern Morse, mana summon — ‘Demon of the Owl’!”
Fern Morse’s summoning voice followed closely.
With white smoke gushing again from the “Demon Pot,” Fern Morse summoned the second six-star mana spirit in the first round!
It was a demonic creature with an owl’s head and human form, with large wings spreading out, arms reaching down to the knees, and ten fingers resembling eagle talons.
“Demon of the Owl — Night Feather Assault!”
“Gur!”
The “Demon of the Owl” immediately let out a screech, then flapped its huge wings, making the dark-feathered feathers stand up like arrows.
As it turned in the air, countless feather arrows burst towards “Ditto.”
Everything happened too fast.
“Ditto” was just bound by the “Smoke Ring Binding,” and the “Demon of the Owl” had already launched its arrows.
The arrows rained down from all directions, leaving no place to hide.
“Ditto” was also bound by the smoke rings, unable to escape— but it smirked, and its five-meter-high body suddenly shrunk, returning to its original size.
Though it couldn’t wear the “Disinfectant Mask” anymore, it managed to dodge the countless arrows at the cost of being poisoned, which was definitely worth it.
“Tik-tak!”
In the midst of intense offense and defense, the round quietly switched.
“At last, we’ve held on!”
Dark felt a jolt in his heart and immediately drew cards!
With two new mana cards in hand, he finally smiled.
[Trash Slime]
[Magic Beast: Ibut]
Life needs some excitement, doesn’t it, Senior Fern Morse?
Dark swiftly drew “Trash Slime” and urgently summoned, “In the name of Dark Demon, mana summon — ‘Trash Slime’!”
Thanks to “Ditto” blowing back part of the “Poison Smoke” in the red zone, the summoning area was not covered by the smoke.
As “Trash Slime” was summoned behind the mana guidance ball, dodging the “Demon of the Owl’s” arrows, “Ditto” had already pounced towards the “Demon Pot” in the blue summoning zone!
It did not break free from the “Smoke Ring Binding,” and the layers of smoke rings wrapped around it again after it shrank.
Only, its core suddenly shifted before it was entangled, changing the trapped area from its torso to its arm.
Layers of smoke rings wrapped around the arm like bracelets, unable to restrain its movement!
Fern Morse probably saw this method of breaking free from the “Smoke Ring Binding” for the first time. His eyes showed surprise, but he continued chanting.
A third six-star mana spirit was summoned!
The internal mana of the “Demon Pot” was exhausted at this moment.
Even if “Ditto” punched it to pieces, it had lost its meaning.
Fern Morse glanced at his newly drawn two cards and immediately focused on commanding the three six-star mana spirits in the field.
The “Face of the Evil Spirit” was taken away again by the “Nether Soul Ring.”
The other two six-star mana spirits besides the “Snuff Demon” were the “Demon of the Owl” and the “Suture Monster.”

“Blow this ‘Poison Smoke’ toward the opponent, Demon of the Owl.”
Fern Morse pointed sharply and roared, “Demon Hurricane!”
The “Demon of the Owl” ignored “Ditto” nearby, spreading its wings to summon a hurricane.
The dark hurricane howled and sucked in the surrounding “Poison Smoke,” moving slowly towards the red zone.
The freshly materialized “Suture Monster” just avoided the “Poison Smoke.”
It stood with a huge belly full of stitches, holding a cleaver in one hand and a hook claw in the other, launching a hook claw at [Magic Beast: Ditto] in one motion!
The hook claw shot out like lightning; “Ditto” was not particularly good at speed, so it had nowhere to hide.
But it cleverly lifted the “Smoke Ring Binding” on its arm to block the attack.
With a “bang,” the hook claw collided with the smoke ring, releasing a powerful mana fluctuation.
“Suture Monster” pulled back the hook claw, but the “Smoke Ring Binding” on “Ditto’s” arm had shrunk.
“Hurry!”
“Ditto” felt satisfied with its quick thinking.
The “Snuff Demon” and the “Demon of the Owl” attacked directly.
Although the stats of the six-star “Ditto” were quite high, the “Demon of the Owl” and the “Snuff Demon” were also six-star mana spirits.
Fighting one against two was extremely disadvantageous!
Moreover, the “Snuff Demon” was immune to physical attacks, the “Demon of the Owl” had “Storm Protection,” and the “Suture Monster” was ready to strike from the side!
“Fall back, Ditto.”
In a critical moment, “Ditto” finally heard its master’s command.
Its body instantly elongated, growing two long legs—turning to run!
The “Snuff Demon” shrouded in thick smoke and the “Demon of the Owl” with “Storm Protection” pursued relentlessly.
“Suture Monster” blocked the path, standing in front of the blue mana guidance ball!
It seemed that Fern Morse remained calm despite his fervor, clearly understanding this was a mana duel.
Dark Demon rarely found himself at a disadvantage in this duel.
However, in the red summoning zone, the “Trash Slime” had evolved into “Greed Slime II” under the influence of “Gluttony III”!
The enormous “Greed Slime II” swallowed the red mana guidance ball, resisting the “Demon Hurricane” enveloped in poison smoke.
With 2000 maximum defense and 3000 mana points, it was not instantly killed.
But under the invasion of the “Poison Smoke,” it was already poisoned, and its remaining mana points decreased rapidly.
“Ultimate Skill — ‘Photosynthesis.'”
“Gurrrr—”
“Greed Slime II” tilted its head and sucked forcefully, quickly restoring 50% of its maximum mana.
At this point, its mana was full, and it began to split according to Dark’s instructions.
Countless “Greed Slimes I” and “Trash Slimes” were spawned like dumplings.
A two-star “Greed Slime I” required 400 mana.
A one-star “Trash Slime” required 200 mana.
Though they couldn’t evolve like “Draconic Arrow,” they could be sacrificed.
Before “Ditto” was chased to the red summoning zone, “Greed Slime II” split into three “Greed Slimes I” and two “Trash Slimes.”
Then, with only one-third of its mana left, “Greed Slime II” transformed into light.
“One four-star and one three-star, using ‘Greed Slime II’ and ‘Face of the Evil Spirit’ as sacrifices, sacrificial summon — ‘Draconic Ballet’!”
A three-meter-long ghost dragon species soared out from the sacrificial summoning array.
Dark Demon summoned this previously unseen seven-star ghost dragon in the second round of the duel…
—
“Is it made from black dragon materials?”
Pandora frowned slightly. This “Draconic Ballet” looked strange, unlike a traditional black dragon. Flat horns seemed to host two tiny creatures. It wasn’t menacing or vicious, almost playful and cute?
“Not surprising for a mana spirit with Dark’s style.”
She sighed softly, focusing more intently on the duel.
—
“A seven-star mana spirit!”
On the blue side platform, Fern Morse’s expression changed slightly, his right fingers tapping the table rhythmically.
He decisively drew one of the two cards in his hand, muttering the incantation for summoning.
The blood altar emerged silently in the blue summoning zone.
This altar was about four meters in diameter, located beneath the blue mana guidance ball, with four beast statues at each corner.
At the center, below the mana guidance ball, a circular pool of blood slowly accumulated!
The bright red blood flowed from the edges of the pool through channels to the altar below, extending outward like conscious tendrils.
—
The second round passed very quickly, leaving only a few seconds remaining.
[Magic Beast: Ditto] escaped back to the red zone while still affected by the “smoke poison.”
The “Snuff Demon” and the “Demon of the Owl” pursued relentlessly.
The newly materialized “Draconic Ballet” directed its sharp gaze toward the two demons.
Then, from the left horn, “Draconic Arrow” instantly burst forth!
The small “Draconic Arrow” filled with excitement, obviously pleased with being launched.
Dark watched this scene, wondering: Could the real-world “Draconic Arrow” survive such a high-speed launch?
Undoubtedly, the “Dragon Arrow,” combining the attacks of two mana spirits, could easily tear through the “Demon of the Owl’s” defenses!
The “Demon of the Owl” was still chasing “Ditto,” completely unaware it had become prey.
It didn’t react in time as its “Storm Protection” was penetrated, and its supposedly resilient skin was easily torn—killed instantly!
“Gur—”
The “Demon of the Owl” let out a harsh shriek before dying.
A hook made of jagged bone pieces suddenly spanned a hundred meters, snatching the “Demon of the Owl’s” corpse before it could turn into mana!
The “Suture Monster’s” fat belly suddenly split open, revealing a terrifying maw.
It unleashed its ultimate skill “Ghoul,” swallowing the massive corpse whole!
Then, its ultimate skill “Corpse Stitching” activated, rapidly growing tough feathers on its decaying skin.
“Shriek!”
The “Suture Monster’s” back split open, and “Demon Feathers” emerged, spreading wide!
“Roar!”
The “Suture Monster” roared in fury after fully absorbing the “Demon of the Owl.”
Its attack and defense surged under the effects of “Ghoul” and “Corpse Stitching.”
“Whoosh—”
A green glow flashed through the sky, and a gap appeared silently on the “Suture Monster’s” body, causing a significant loss of mana.
The green glow then sharply turned, shooting like lightning towards the blue mana guidance ball on the blood altar.
The blood in the pool suddenly formed a shield, but “Draconic Arrow” pierced through it, colliding with the blue mana guidance ball’s life barrier.
“Creak!”
[8000-7010]
“Suture Monster, turn and protect!”
Fern Morse’s gaze turned fierce.
“Suture Monster” rapidly turned with the help of the “Demon Feathers,” firing its blood hook lightning-fast!
“Bam!”
“Draconic Arrow” was violently knocked away.
“Hold On” activated.
It used its remaining mana to flee quickly.
By now, the second round had ended, but both players’ attention remained fixed on this moment.
It was far from over.
The “Suture Monster” turned again, and another green bolt struck it from behind, piercing through it and straight into the blue mana guidance ball.
“Creak!”
[7010-4222]
“Roar!”
The “Suture Monster” instantly let out a roar, firing another hook.
But at that moment, the “Draconic Arrow,” launched for the second time, instantly triggered “Lightning Flash,” narrowly avoiding the “Suture Monster’s” blood hook and lightly touching the blue mana guidance ball’s life barrier.
[4222-3232]
Just a fleeting exchange, and the blue mana guidance ball’s life barrier had plummeted to half its value.
Then, cracks suddenly appeared in the sky, and meteorites began to plummet!

[The monthly reward for December will be announced at the end of the month due to the double vote event, hoping to conclude this year’s efforts with a relatively satisfactory ending… and maybe grab the year-end champion.]
[I need to go to the hospital to check my neck skin after waking up, so the update today is late, but I’ll finish this duel as soon as possible.]
[After finishing, updates will slow down a bit to build up some stockpile in case of emergencies, as there will be an annual meeting from December 4th to 7th. Although I’ll be writing during that time, it’s better to be prepared.]
[Starting from the 8th, I’ll continue with rapid updates.]
