[Blink Spell]!
As a universal spell that could be learned as early as the first semester of the first year, the crafting difficulty of the [Blink Spell] was extremely high, but it could always play a decisive role at critical moments.
Angelia watched the Overlord Gorilla, which had successfully shaken off Gatomon and was pouncing toward the Blue Side's Magic Sphere, and couldn't help but reveal a faint smile of assured victory.
With the Overlord Gorilla's attack power, a single strike would suffice!
A life barrier with 2000 mana points was nothing more than a candle in the wind.
As for the Sylveon blocking the path to the Magic Sphere?
Just crush it along with the life barrier!
A 4-star that can block a 6-star Magic Guide Spirit is ultimately an exception.
Angelia did not believe that this Sylveon could achieve the same feat as that white cat!
...
Everyone's gaze was practically frozen in this instant.
Dark suddenly tensed up.
The changes in this split second were simply too fast. Even if he reacted immediately, he couldn't come up with a countermeasure in time and could only pin his hopes on the quick wits of his Magic Guide Spirits!
The Overlord Gorilla used its two arms to push off the ground, crossing the distance to the Magic Sphere in two or three bounds.
It exerted force with all four limbs at the last moment, leaping fiercely into the air. Its massive body loomed over the entire summoning zone, its ugly face becoming increasingly hideous.
As Sylveon was enveloped by the Overlord Gorilla's shadow, it bared its canine teeth. Its two ribbons shot out like snakes, attempting to impede the Overlord Gorilla's advance.
But the ribbons were ultimately blunt. Striking the Overlord Gorilla's abdomen was like striking steel and rock; they didn't even leave a single dent!
The Overlord Gorilla felt nothing and completely ignored it.
Its thick, strong lower limbs stomped down heavily, the coarse black fur almost touching Sylveon's nose bridge.
Its eyes were bloodshot. As its body came to a sudden stop, that thick black right arm whipped toward the Blue Side's Magic Sphere like a long lash!
"Mi!"
Sylveon's fur stood on end. Driven by a sense of duty to protect the Magic Sphere, it threw itself heedlessly toward the Overlord Gorilla's right arm!
But merely touching the wind pressure made it feel as if its cheeks were being blown flat.
When it actually made contact with that muscle-bound right arm, it was blown away without any suspense!
While flying backward in pain, its two ribbons struggled to wrap around the Magic Sphere. Borrowing the momentum of its backward flight, it contracted them fiercely, attempting to pull the Magic Sphere out of the Overlord Gorilla's attack range!
It succeeded!
The Overlord Gorilla's palm sliced through the air and slapped viciously onto the ground!
As the earth trembled slightly, Gatomon, who had been juked earlier, finally snapped back to reality. A flush of red instantly appeared on its cheeks—a mix of shame and rage!
"Meow!"
The shrill cat cry was exceptionally piercing.
Using all four limbs, Gatomon pounced fiercely at the Overlord Gorilla!
But after the Overlord Gorilla missed its first slap, it had already caught up to the Magic Sphere again.
This time it learned its lesson. It first grabbed Sylveon's ribbons with its left hand, then raised its right arm high to gather power before slamming it down abruptly!
...
"I won!"
Looking over from the Red Player Platform, Angelia saw the Overlord Gorilla, with its back to her, delivering the finishing blow!
Although that pink Magic Guide Spirit had struggled unexpectedly, the final result would not change.
"It ends here."
Angelia revealed a smile, left wanting more.
The experience of this duel was unexpectedly good. She found that she was starting to like dueling a little.
Perhaps joining the Dueling Club was indeed a good idea.
Just then, the corner of her eye suddenly twitched. She saw the Overlord Gorilla's thick black arm abruptly stop in mid-air!
"What's happening?"
The angle prevented her from seeing exactly what had occurred.
"Overlord Gorilla!"
She could only let out a subconscious low growl.
The Overlord Gorilla's body suddenly shuddered, and then it turned around. Its hideous face managed to display a look of utter confusion.
"Ooo ooo ooo?"
(What's going on?)
...
The Overlord Gorilla moved its body slightly aside, its raised right arm slowly lowering.
Sensing the anomaly, Gatomon flipped around from the side and stood guard in front of Sylveon.
Then it jerked its head around and saw a 'bad woman' standing right in front of the Blue Side's Magic Sphere!
"Mang mang!"
A bizarre noise came from the bad woman's mouth.
...
The atmosphere among the spectators outside the field had completely exploded!
Regardless of whether they were lower or upperclassmen, the gazes directed at the field right now were filled with astonishment.
Even the two professors at the judges' table widened their eyes.
Just a moment ago, when the Overlord Gorilla was about to smash the Magic Sphere.
That "Trash Slime" lying on the Magic Sphere like mucus had suddenly swelled up, transforming into the appearance of Angelia in the blink of an eye!
Although it was a simple transformation and did not activate the [Transform] skill to copy stats.
The Angelia that Magic Beast: Ditto had turned into was incredibly realistic. It was exactly the same as the real one on the player platform—except that it couldn't speak yet!
Suddenly seeing its master appear before its eyes, the Overlord Gorilla was dumbfounded in an instant.
It might have been able to distinguish the real from the fake through other means, but that would inevitably take a certain amount of time.
Under such sudden circumstances, that slap simply could not be brought down.
...
Dark appeared calm and composed on the player platform, but he was undoubtedly wiping away a heavy sweat right now.
Magic Beast: Ditto's ordinary transformation had size limitations. At the very least, this specific Ditto could only turn into something human-sized at most during an ordinary transformation. Furthermore, without a real object to imitate, it was prone to revealing flaws like (·—·).
It was only because Angelia was right there on the scene that it could transform perfectly.
The resulting confusion was so effective that even the Overlord Gorilla couldn't tell the difference!
It wasn't until Angelia's low growl rang out that the Overlord Gorilla gradually figured out the trick.
But by then, it was too late.
Whether in a duel or in life, once the best opportunity is missed, it is very difficult to find a chance to regain it.
"Tick!"
The sound of the sixth turn switch rang out on schedule.
Dark reached out to draw a card almost subconsciously.
▼
[Pride II · New]
[Miltank]
▲
"It's here!"
Dark felt invigorated!
"Magic Guide Summon!"
The light of [Lust III · Moon] was dazzling!
Magic Beast: Ditto seemed to smell the scent of [Lust] and couldn't help but tilt its head back slightly.
Pinkish-white light poured down like moonlight, completely enveloping its body.
Bathed in [Lust], a strange flush appeared on Ditto's cheeks, and the sigil of [Lust] quickly lit up on its forehead.
When the sigil formed, it absorbed all the pink light instantly, like a long whale sucking in water.
Ditto's power skyrocketed immediately, skipping three star levels, jumping directly from 1-star to 4-star!
But at this moment, it still stood there in the form of Angelia. Its long bangs were swept aside by the power of the sigil, revealing a smooth forehead and thin eyebrows.
The eyes beneath the brows were moist as water, and its flushed cheeks carried a trace of delicate glamour.
A bewitching aura, inconsistent with her character design, radiated from it.
It made the hearts of the students who knew Angelia skip a beat.
Ditto's gaze immediately turned toward Dark on the player platform.
Dark silently counted the time. As soon as the summoning cooldown ended, he immediately activated [Pride II · New]!
Meanwhile, the Overlord Gorilla on the field finally fully confirmed that this was a fake after the Angelia formed by Ditto underwent a sudden change in temperament!
It immediately revealed a violent expression, clenched its fist, and smashed it downward!
Although Ditto's mind was filled with [Lust] at this moment, it was impossible for it not to respond when facing a threat.
Just as Dark had predicted.
After sensing the threat, Ditto decisively abandoned the ordinary transformation and activated the [Transform] skill!
And the object of the transformation was naturally the strongest on the field—the Overlord Gorilla!
"ROAR!"
The skin belonging to Angelia was torn apart from the inside out. A giant gorilla with long black hair drilled out of the skin, its raised giant hand grabbing the Overlord Gorilla's fist in the first instant!
...
Borrowing the momentum of its expansion during the transformation, Ditto exerted force violently and pushed the Overlord Gorilla's fist back!
The Overlord Gorilla was caught off guard and staggered back several steps. But after reacting, its face became even more ferocious!
On the field, two identical ferocious beasts confronted each other silently!
...
As the light of [Pride II · New] infused into Ditto's body, its brain finally recovered a shred of clarity from the chaos.
"Magic Beast: Ditto, Overlord's Roar!"
The voice coming from behind its ear made it immediately open its mouth and roar.
Soundwaves like a tsunami instantly roared out!
The Overlord Gorilla was forced back by its own finishing move for the first time. After stumbling back several steps again, the fur all over its body stood on end, and it pounded its chest forcefully!
But this intimidation tactic was meaningless.
A white shadow suddenly flashed in the bottom left corner of its vision.
After only a few seconds of thought, Gatomon threw itself forward, inserting itself into this battle between beasts!
The biggest weakness of Ditto's [Transform] lay in its unchangeable mana value.
The current 4-star Ditto only had 400 mana points. If it were to fight the Overlord Gorilla for real, it would definitely lose!
But with Gatomon joining in, everything took a turn.
After transforming into the Overlord Gorilla, Ditto's skill bar also gained a finishing move called [Black Ape Hammer]!
For the Overlord Gorilla with 2800 Attack and 2300 Defense, once hit by the [Black Ape Hammer], it would inevitably sustain significant damage!
Coupled with the fact that the Overlord Gorilla's mana had already been whittled down quite a bit by Gatomon, this blow would be fatal!
...
"Magic Guide Summon!"
Seeing the Overlord Gorilla falling into a desperate situation, and unaware that Ditto only had 400 mana, Angelia made a prompt decision. She sacrificed the lone fairy and the Exquisite Ball as tributes to summon a new Fourth Order Magic Guide Spirit!
It was a black, extremely fast Vine Beast!
...
[Card Name: Vine Beast]
[Type: Spirit Card]
[Level: ????]
[Race: Plant Species]
[Attribute: Grass-type]
[Mana: 1400]
[Attack: 1900]
[Defense: 900]
[Finishing Move: Ghost Vine, Vine Strangle]
...
A dog-like small beast formed of intertwined black vines. Its lightweight body endowed it with phantom-like extreme speed. The black Ghost Vines extending from both its shoulders were as sharp as spears. Its powerful attack combined with explosive speed made it like a shadow assassin, bringing despair to others!
But after summoning the Vine Beast, Angelia did not command it to join the Overlord Gorilla's battlefield!
The Vine Beast's fragile body couldn't withstand a single blow from that white cat, and it wasn't a warrior meant to gallop across a frontal battlefield.
At this moment, its target was Hawlucha, who had been forced to the side by the previous battle!
The already heavily injured Hawlucha was merely a 3-star Magic Guide Spirit and had temporarily lost the ability to fly. Even though it raised its wings in time, it still couldn't block the Ghost Vine's puncture.
After a final cry, Hawlucha exited the field!
...
The greatest threat to the Magic Sphere had been eliminated.
The Vine Beast's body turned in the air, rushing toward Sylveon without stopping!
Sylveon, who had just withstood the Overlord Gorilla's attack—although it was only a graze from the upper arm and the injury wasn't heavy, its condition was not good, especially with its two ribbons greatly damaged.
But its gaze was resolute. After locking onto the Vine Beast's position, it slammed headfirst into it!
Its body turned into light in mid-air, and a mysterious sacrificial summoning circle appeared in front of the Blue Side's Magic Sphere.
A cute dairy cow drilled out from it, instantly raising its hooves to parry the incoming Ghost Vines!
The all-conquering Ghost Vines finally hit a steel plate.
"Moo!"
Miltank grabbed a Ghost Vine with each hand, then pulled inward with force!
The lightweight Vine Beast was suddenly pulled over—no, it went with the flow!
A black crack opened from the centerline of its body, and its entire body instantly turned into a giant maw, actually swallowing Miltank whole!
"Crack!"
The jagged black vines clamped shut with force.
Finishing Move—Vine Strangle!
The Vine Beast let out a ghostly howl, intending to strangle Miltank within its body!
But its expression suddenly changed.
"Riiip!"
The body made of intertwined black vines was actually torn in half from the inside out!
Miltank pulled the black vine body in front of it and continued to tear at it.
Not only was it completely unharmed, but its attack power had also temporarily risen from 1000 points to 1500 points!
→ [Sap Sipper]
→ [Passive Skill: When attacked by Grass-type finishing moves, take no damage and increase Attack power.]
Vine Beast-san died with everlasting regret!
...
"ROAR!"
The Overlord Gorilla ultimately failed to parry the righteous two-on-one beatdown.
After being dazzled and confused by Gatomon's moves, it took a [Black Ape Hammer] from Ditto right to the chin, dealing a fatal blow!
"BOOM!"
With the massive black gorilla falling backward to the ground, the whole arena went into an uproar!
...
On the Red Player Platform, Angelia couldn't help but grip her hand of cards tightly.
Having never experienced infinite reversals in a duel before, her mindset became slightly unbalanced during this rollercoaster experience.
But her previous strategy had been effective.
Although the situation had fallen into a valley, the Vine Beast had successfully killed Hawlucha.
The opponent had lost their aerial combat power.
The Red Magic Sphere flying in the sky was safe and sound.
She still had a chance!
...
"Tick!"
The seventh turn had arrived quietly at some point.
But that was no longer important.
Dark summoned the last card in his hand.
Popplio, debuting amidst the light, unleashed a wide-range finishing move toward the Magic Sphere in the sky—[Alluring Voice]!
Unlike Sylveon's [Alluring Voice].
Popplio's [Alluring Voice] was transformed into the Water attribute under the effect of [Liquid Voice], possessing substantial damage beyond just mental damage.
The Red Magic Sphere.
Mana dropped to zero!
