Chapter 701 “Request for Subscription” Explosion! Explosion! (4k)
There was no way to describe the immense emotional turmoil Angus Jeffrey felt in that fleeting moment.
The magic value of “Demon King? Arminster” suddenly plummeted, only to surge back up again, much like Angus Jeffrey’s current state of mind.
His heart continued to race wildly, his face twisted with a grotesque expression, unable to recover for a long time.
And at this very moment, those twelve sudden “moonlights” descending from the sky were nothing compared to what he had just experienced.
Angus Jeffrey clearly understood that this was the “Moon Goddess’s” ultimate skill.
Under normal circumstances, he would have avoided these twelve consecutive “moonlights.”
But his field’s mana spirit was “Demon King? Arminster,” a nine-star but effectively eleven-star “Demon King? Arminster!”
The “Moon Goddess” unleashed her ultimate skill, “Eclipse of the Moon,” to completely destroy “Demon King? Arminster.”
Although it was spectacular, it was merely scratching the surface for the current “Demon King? Arminster.”
The magic value of “Demon King? Arminster” continued to surge!
Regardless of whether it was a demon king, a named mana spirit inevitably possessed unique abilities or features closely tied to its name.
“Demon King? Arminster’s” “Sea of Despair” was its exclusive ultimate skill!
Its power had already been demonstrated.
Even a five-star mana spirit, “Mana Nightmare Demon,” was almost instantly annihilated by the dark tide.
Its attack range was vast, and it was a continuous attack type, consuming life within its range every second and feeding back to “Demon King? Arminster.”
In other words, Dark’s low-star mana spirits on the field became blood packs for “Demon King? Arminster.”
Even a seven-star mana spirit, “Mewtwo,” could not withstand the continuous damage of “Sea of Despair” and was forced to retreat.
In the blink of an eye, only two baby blue-eyed dragons in the air and “Moon Goddess” on the ground remained on Dark’s side.
Angus Jeffrey glanced at the “Moon Goddess” and subconsciously reached for a card.
He hadn’t drawn any cards, let alone summoned the mana spirit cards in his hand, his eyes fixed solely on the invincible “Demon King? Arminster.”
But as “Demon King? Arminster’s” invincibility was shattered instantly, he suddenly snapped back to reality.
The “Mana Nightmare Demon’s” “Same Life” and the screams of “Demon King? Arminster” filled him with fear.
He couldn’t bear the terrifying reality of losing even after summoning “Demon King? Arminster.”
Thus, after surviving by luck, he vowed to quickly secure victory.
“I can’t afford to drag this out any longer! Dark Demon’s trump card is even more terrifying than I anticipated!”
He thought he had already overestimated Dark, but in that instant, he realized he had underestimated him.
…
On the red competitor’s platform.
Dark’s expression turned serious after confirming that “Same Life” did not achieve full success.
In the eighth round, he drew two mana spirit cards:
[“Lion Beast”]
[“War Horn”]
He also had two “Magical Beast: Eevee,” one “Magical Beast: Ditto,” and one “Deoxys” in his hand.
However, except for “War Horn,” none of the other mana spirit cards could be summoned under the current conditions.
They would be destroyed instantly upon being summoned by the “Sea of Despair.”
“There are still sixteen cards left in the deck!”
Mana duels are never given up until the last moment.
Moreover, all of his moves so far had clear purposes.
So-called trump cards are those capable of turning the tables in the most critical moments.
He was not lacking in such trump cards.
Just one more round!
Once again, he bet on flipping the situation in the next round.
Pale, smooth cheeks flushed with color, adrenaline surging.
At this desperate moment, Dark Demon found himself more excited than ever before!
Why has the duel trend swept through the era?
Why do powerful magi willingly display themselves in duels?
The end of war took away their battlefield, but the popularity of mana duels gave them a new soul.
“Keep going, Piplup!”
…
The mage’s shout echoed in the heart.
“Piplup,” evolved into “Moon Goddess,” and the “Soul of the Moon Goddess” attached to it, stood firm amidst the surging “Sea of Despair”!
“Roar!”
“Demon King? Arminster” became visibly enraged after enduring the pain of “Same Life.”
It spread its arms, emitting a terrifying roar, and the black waves released by “Sea of Despair” grew even wilder.
But “Moon Goddess” stood there, like a weather-beaten reef in the sea, unyielding against the wind and rain.
The “Moon Goddess Mirror” in its chest continuously emitted harsh moonlight, a giant circular mirror formed by condensed moonlight blocking everything in front, deflecting all the incoming dark waves.
The accumulated moonlight energy helped it stand firm in the “Sea of Despair.”
Angus Jeffrey didn’t understand why “Moon Goddess” stood firm, but he was now fully awake.
“Demon King? Arminster” cannot move while releasing “Sea of Despair.”
He immediately picked a flying mana spirit card from his hand.
“In the name of Angus Jeffrey, Mana Summon — ‘Quick Mage Insect’!”
Still an insect-type, bug-class mana spirit, but only three stars.
Angus Jeffrey summoned the three-star mana spirit above the blue summoning zone, outside the “Sea of Despair’s” range.
Then he immediately issued a new command: “Attack Mana Guidance Ball!”
Only then did he remember he was in a duel.
Destroying the red Mana Guidance Ball’s Life Barrier would grant him victory.
Like a beetle, but one meter long, “Quick Mage Insect” immediately spread its wings, vibrating rapidly, and charged toward the Mana Guidance Ball that Dark had also pulled high into the sky.
But in front of it were two six-star Baby Blue-Eye Dragons!
…
Until “Quick Mage Insect” was slapped to death by a Baby Blue-Eye Dragon, Angus Jeffrey was shocked to discover he had made the most basic mistake at the most crucial moment.
Meanwhile, the “Sea of Despair” on the field began to dissipate.
This ultimate skill’s duration was only thirty seconds, barely covering one round.
Angus Jeffrey took a deep breath, desperately thinking in the last few seconds of the eighth round, but still couldn’t find a way to bypass the two Baby Blue-Eye Dragons and attack the red Mana Guidance Ball.
“Arminster!”
He instinctively called out the demon king’s name.
But “Demon King? Arminster” was completely distracted by “Moon Goddess,” as if engaged in a fierce battle, controlling the “Sea of Despair” to concentrate its attacks.
Finally, at the end of the eighth round, the circular mirror created by the “Moon Goddess Mirror” shattered!
And the “Sea of Despair” came to an end.
Both lasted thirty seconds, making it impossible to tell who was winning from the surface.
“Arminster!”
Angus Jeffrey roared again.
And the “Demon King? Arminster,” which had stopped releasing “Sea of Despair,” finally responded.
With a grim expression, Angus Jeffrey gave it his final order: “Summon Catastrophe, attack the opponent’s Mana Guidance Ball!”
“Roar!” “Demon King? Arminster” raised its right hand again, and the black light emanating from its palm rapidly condensed into a pillar, shooting straight into the sky!
Above the sky, dark clouds gathered, thunder roared, as if the end of days had arrived!
…
On the red competitor’s platform.
Dark Demon had also drawn two new mana spirit cards from his deck.
[Fusion]
[Moon Goddess Stone]
“It’s finally here!”
A burst of light shone in Dark’s eyes.
With a one-sixteenth chance, he finally drew “Fusion” from his deck!
And along with it came the “Moon Goddess Stone”!
On the field, “Moon Goddess” had held on until the very end.
Since the “Moon Goddess Mirror” was released after “Sea of Despair,” it had never faced the direct impact of “Sea of Despair.”
“Fusion” or “Moon Goddess Stone”?
But now there was a choice.
And making a choice takes time.
Dark shook his head abruptly and decisively pulled out “Fusion.”
Although the evolved “Night Tiger God” was powerful, it was ultimately only a seven-star mana spirit.
But the “Twin Burst Baby Blue-Eye Dragon,” resulting from the fusion of the two “Baby Blue-Eye Dragons,” was a genuine nine-star mana spirit!
As nine-star mana spirits, although “Twin Burst Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” did not have passive ultimate skills that increased overall stats and rank, Dark did not think it would be inferior to “Demon King? Arminster.”
As a trump card among trump cards, Dark originally did not want to summon “Twin Burst Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” in a regular duel.
Though the probability was extremely low, he had considered advancing to the top sixteen in the “Golden Cup” and then dueling with powerful magi like Vini Scarlet and Pandora Dragon… and winning!
Against such opponents, a deck thoroughly studied would not lead to victory.
Therefore, during the “Golden Cup” qualifying matches, he didn’t even include the two-star “Magical Beast: Imprinted Creature? Dragon” in his deck.
But he never expected that Angus Jeffrey could summon a Demon King!
Without hesitation.
Dark began chanting the spell as soon as he raised “Fusion.”
“In the name of Dark Demon, Mana Summon — ‘Fusion’!”
The growing mana flowed like seawater into the “Fusion” mana card.
The long-lost fusion light shimmered in his hand, as if he held the stars.
White and black fish swiftly emerged from the “Fusion” card.
The “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” protecting the Mana Guidance Ball in the sky and the “Magical Beast: Ditto” immediately sensed the call of “Fusion.”
Both mana spirits revealed excitement, almost simultaneously diving down from the sky.
At this moment, the sky was already showing strange phenomena. “Demon King? Arminster” began to unleash its ultimate skill — “Cataclysmic Disaster!”
Angus Jeffrey saw Dark Demon’s radiant demeanor, though he didn’t believe he could summon a mana spirit that could compete with “Demon King? Arminster,” panic had already surfaced.
Suddenly, his finger trembled, and a mana spirit card slipped from his grasp.
He hurriedly tried to grab it, but more cards fell.
“Damn!”
Angus Jeffrey’s anger surged, and he slammed the useless cards onto the spellboard.
Then he suddenly looked up, clenching his teeth, glaring fiercely at the opponent.
His command to “Demon King? Arminster” was to attack the Mana Guidance Ball. Once the power was fully charged, the “Cataclysmic Disaster” would descend, instantly shattering the eight-thousand-point Life Barrier.
Afterwards, no matter how many trump cards Dark had, they wouldn’t be able to turn the tide.
From wanting to crush to merely hoping to win, Angus Jeffrey had gone through a profound psychological journey.
But what he truly wanted was to utterly destroy, just like the name “Cataclysmic Disaster.”
The two fish that flew out of the “Fusion” card were heading towards the diving “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” and “Magical Beast: Ditto.”
The white fish flew towards the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon.”
The black fish flew towards “Magical Beast: Ditto”…
The two fish grew rapidly, wrapping around the two baby blue-eyed dragons.
Then both mana spirits met each other’s gaze, transforming into light and soaring into the sky!
The light beams wrapped around the fish spiraled like DNA in the air, finally fusing completely.
A massive and mysterious fusion summoning array blossomed in the sky.
In front of thousands of people, a baby blue-eyed dragon with two heads emerged from the fusion summoning array!
“Twin Burst Baby Blue-Eye Dragon,” appeared!
Although still in the immature dragon form, the “Twin Burst Baby Blue-Eye Dragon” emitted a different aura than the “Baby Blue-Eye Dragon.” The senior students in the ring instantly realized this was a nine-star mana spirit!
Even Dark Demon, who had only just started his second year, had summoned a nine-star mana spirit in this duel!
The balance of victory and defeat swayed instantly.
Students who had previously determined Angus Jeffrey would win were instantly shaken.
And the “Twin Burst Baby Blue-Eye Dragon,” radiating powerful dragon might, immediately opened its mouth and lunged at “Demon King? Arminster.”
Two white beams carrying destructive energy shot out, hitting “Demon King? Arminster’s” face!
…
The end times arrived!
Dark clouds covered the sky, lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled.
A blood-red crack silently appeared.
The sky split apart.
“Demon King? Arminster,” covered in mud, roared in fury.
Meteorites fell!
