The villain only wants to live a Buddhist life

The [Silver Cup] race is in full swing.

Pistan Kellogg's defense does have its bright spots, and it's no fluke that he made it to the quarterfinals.

But his weakness is also very obvious - more than enough defense, not enough attack!

But Heidi Euphemia, her magic elf still continues the style it has always been, flexible, changeable, and able to fly.

Moreover, she was obviously influenced by Sarah Swati, and she has mastered quite a lot of weird tactics.

Although Pistan's defense was indestructible, it was unable to effectively kill Heidi's magic wizard and magic ball.

On the contrary, Heidi can always find an opportunity to do her harm.

Even if the damage each time is extremely limited, as long as the accumulation is repeated, the iron pestle can be ground into a needle eventually.

After a long and fierce battle, Heidi finally broke through Pistan's steel fortress and made it to the winner group with difficulty!

And Pistan Kellogg, like Werther Gold, fell into the loser's bracket!

……

"The situation in the loser group looks very serious."

Duck said a little playfully.

Regardless of Vanessa Bolt, although Werther Gold fell into the loser group, his deck strength is definitely the highest among the top eight!

Classic, strongest spear vs strongest shield.Is the shield broken and the person killed, or the spear broken and the person killed?

Doron frowned and said: "Although I am definitely on Pistan's side in terms of position, it is almost impossible for him to defeat Werther. The only chance is to draw Vanessa...or Justin Werther." kindness."

"Justin Wayne?" Duck couldn't help laughing, "You sentenced him to death before he played?"

Doron shook his head and smiled wryly: "I really can't think of the possibility that he can beat Sara Swati. After you lost this year's [Silver Cup], Sara Swati has become the most powerful championship contender." By!"

In fact it is.

The ensuing fourth duel was no surprise.

Although Justin Wayne has improved compared to before, he is not Sarah Swati's opponent after all, and he was defeated in a short time.

After that, the list of the winner's group and the loser's group became clear.

Winner Bracket: Emma Metis, Diana Greatbyer, Heidi Euphemia, Sarah Swati.

Lower Bracket: Witt Gold, Vanessa Bolt, Pistan Kellogg, Justin Wayne.

As for the schedule of the loser group, it will be announced after the evening!

Of course, Darke and the others knew the news immediately after Pistan's lottery.

Pistan changed from his usual hippie smile to a serious expression.

His opponent...is Werther Gold!

"It's bad luck."

At dinner, Pistan took a big bite of the steak and couldn't stop chewing.

As expected, he failed to avoid Werther Gold in the end.

Among the top eight this time, only Werther's magic card is exceptionally strong in terms of strength, which is to the extent that its defense can be forcibly crushed by relying on hard power!

And if he loses again tonight, his [Silver Cup] journey will be completely over.

8th to 7th place, although there is no one-round tour due to the competition system, this is also a one-day tour!

"Why can't the knockout match of the loser's bracket be put on the next week?"

Pistan was worried again.

Duolong then comforted: "Eighth to seventh is fine, and there are also credit rewards. It's better than No.9, right?"

Pistan glanced at him, laughed out loud, and started to eat.

It was a pleasant lunch time.

Pistan is not a particularly victorious person. Even if he really loses, as long as he tries his best, he will not regret it.

After lunch, a group of five walked around the castle to digest food.

With the arrival of winter, the weather is getting colder, and there is a little more silence in the castle.

But the laughter of the students can always wash away this indifference.

Walking in the castle, you can see the students take out the [Flower Card] from time to time, from viewing it as a hidden thing to now taking it out to tease each other, there are subtle changes in various meanings.

The night is confused, and the sunset is floating.

The students walked into the dueling hall again, and it was completely dark.

And the [Silver Cup] loser's bracket knockout round just kicked off.

Pistan Kellogg is the first player on the court of the evening, and he is about to launch a duel in the spotlight with Werther Gold.

One of the two is from the Academy of Nobility and the other is from the Academy of Knights. The moment they stepped onto the stage, the atmosphere became tense.

But Werther Gold is full of momentum, and Pistan Kellogg is much more conservative.

Both are in the lower bracket, but the status is obviously different.

As the battle phase began, Pistan, who was nervous in his heart, had no flaws in his performance, and was beaten violently by Werther Gold.

When Werther sacrificed and summoned the magic elf of the third step, Pistan's defense finally fell and was completely breached.

After losing to Emma Metis, Werther Gold finally regained some morale.

……

The second knockout match of the loser's bracket immediately followed at eight o'clock.

Vanessa Bolt and Justin Wayne are both steady and steady types. It is difficult to find flaws in the duels of these two people, but the result of continuous elimination and elimination is the final competition of background.

Justin Wayne had the advantage in the early stage, but in the later stage, Vanessa Bolt gradually recovered the disadvantage with careful operation, and finally won.

And Vanessa Bolt's victory undoubtedly made [Fool's House] let out a sigh of relief, and the cheers resounded endlessly.

Although Justin Wayne is the second-year prefect of the [Knight Academy], he can only be ranked third among the second-year students in the Knight Academy. His failure did not cause too many ups and downs in the [Knight Academy] .

The students of [Knight Academy] believed that Werther Gold, who possessed the third-tier magic wizard, would be able to easily defeat the students of the Fool's Academy, so there was no problem.

But today's game is over, and the suspense can only be left until next week.

After watching the match with Diana and Rose, Duck didn't stay in the dueling hall again.

In fact, he himself still has two games to participate in tomorrow, and he may need some time to prepare tonight, so he can hug his feet temporarily.

In the first duel tomorrow morning, I will face a third-year senior from the Academy of Fools, which can be regarded as a warm-up battle.

And the second duel is the real drama, because he is going to face the former president of the Aristocratic History Research Institute - Angus Jeffrey!

……

Angus Jeffrey is now a fifth-grade student.

Dak once fought a duel with [Fire of the Underworld] when he was possessed by it, and was deeply impressed by its emperor penguin named [Frost Emperor].

Of course, the core revealed by Angus Jeffrey in that duel was actually the magic wizard card named [Ice Coffin of the Underworld].

That three-star magic spirit card can summon a seven-star magic spirit—[Frost Lich] from the deck!

This set of combinations is invincible against low graders. If you draw [Ice Coffin from the Underworld] in your first hand, you can almost instantly defeat your opponent.

Even if it really doesn't work, you can use [Frost Lich] as a sacrifice to summon stronger magic elves.

As for the two [Underworld Tablets] he made by relying on [Underworld Fire], they should have been discarded long ago.

In short, although Angus Jeffrey did not study dueling in the past, his own strength was not weak.

Although he didn't do it deliberately, it happened to be in line with the essence of "accumulating thick and thin hair". The knowledge and resources he accumulated in the past four years will surely enable him to make rapid progress during the first semester of the fifth grade.

"Hopefully he can bring me some surprises."

Dak was thinking while adjusting his deck.

That night, he drew 92 points from [Greed] which had naturally increased to 2 points, and went to bed early to ensure his state.

Before going to bed, he just casually refined [Magic Beast] and [Secondary Refining], and then accidentally refined a three-star [Magic Beast: Ditto]!

In this way, there are three three-star cards in his deck [Magic Beast: Ditto]!

Three [Magic Beast: Eevee].

Three [Magic Beast: Ditto].

These six magic wizard cards are simply panacea, any kind of [big sin] lineup can add these six magic cards as a match.

And the research on [Secondary Alchemy] has finally come to an end.

……

On Saturday morning, the eaves were frost-frozen, the ice edges were hanging, and the wind was low and harsh.

Dak felt a little chilled after getting up, so he picked a scarf from the closet and put it on.

"I don't know if it will snow this winter?"

Dake walked to the balcony, looked up at the sky slightly, and suddenly saw a small figure in his eyes, then retreated indoors, sat at the desk and waited for a while.

Then the little evil beast flew back with breakfast.

After it put down the vegetable basket, it plunged into Dak's arms as if diving into water, lying in the warm embrace and rubbing the tips of its wings.

Duck unbuttoned his coat a little bit to wrap it in, then took out a newspaper from the basket and read it.

With Christmas looming, there was finally some substance in the papers.

The eldest prince Charles, the eldest princess Eliza, and the bishops of the Holy Church all appeared on the headlines of the newspaper one by one as if to show their presence.

What is different from previous years is that this year's "Great Sage Daily" has many more advertisements for the National Dueling Club.

With the endorsement of St. Marian College, the National Dueling Club has officially entered people's field of vision, and the game of simulated duels is gradually becoming popular.

When Dark and Claire chatted across servers, they heard that many people in the noble circle were addicted to it, and some even applied to Claire for authorization because they wanted to hold a simulated duel competition at Christmas.

——Those aristocrats used to have nothing to do, they either gathered ○○ or ○○ all day long. Now that they have something they are interested in, they have made a great contribution to the law and order of the capital.

Of course, Claire decisively rejected those people's applications for authorization.

However, she is considering whether the National Dueling Club will hold a Christmas-themed duel competition.

Competitions and bonuses have always been the only way to promote games.

Nowadays, the sales of products related to simulated duels are already very impressive. At least in the capital, there is already a certain mass base, so there is no need to worry about no one participating in the competition.

It's just that once this simulated duel competition is started, it is easy to be compared with the magic duel competition.

What's more, the major organizers of the magic duel competition can't let go of Christmas, just in the capital there are several amateur or professional competitions to be held.

If the National Dueling Club forcibly intervenes, it may have to face the siege and suppression of the organizers and fans of the magic duel competition, and the pressure of competition is not small.

But there is pressure to be motivated. If you want to make the mock duel bigger, you need the courage to go against the current.

Therefore, Claire already has the intention of holding a Christmas duel festival.

……

After finishing his breakfast, Dak put the magic elves into the card one by one, and then he took the alchemy notebook and walked to the open-air duel hall.

His first game was after nine o'clock in the morning, and there was no rush in terms of time.

For him, it is nothing more than reading in another place.

But it wasn't so easy for his opponent, Lydia Emerson, a third-year student.

It's a long story, Dake is actually quite familiar with this year's third graders.

Whether it is Ma Li-senpai or Scott, they all have a certain intersection with him.

In addition, he also met many third-year seniors and seniors during his adventures in the dungeon, and Lydia Emerson was one of them.

He slept with Lydia Emerson for two nights, and after leaving the dungeon, he was also the door key of Senior Emerson, so the two were quite familiar with each other.

But familiarity is familiarity, what should be done in a duel.

Lydia Emerson was not well-known in the third grade. After inquiring about the two seniors in the club, Dake knew that her dueling strength was only in the upper middle. There wasn't much difference between the third graders Ri defeated.

However, Lydia Emerson is a student of the Academy of Magic after all, and her rich knowledge will give them the possibility to transform at any time.

If you underestimate it too much, it is not impossible to capsize the ship in the gutter.

……

ring belt.

Lydia Emerson wrapped herself tightly in a scarf and a cotton cap.

Sitting in her seat, she huddled into a ball and watched the ongoing duel on the field, with the chattering voices of the students from the Academy of Magic in her ears.

"Hey, that's enough, I'll do my best!"

Lydia Emerson finally couldn't help protesting, but her voice was still soft and weak.

From the second day of the week, she knew she was matched with sophomore Dak Dimon.

She didn't react much at the time.

Although she also participated in the [Golden Cup], like most of her classmates, she signed up purely to hone her abilities, and she had no ambitions for the top eight or sixteen.

As of today, the record is only [-]-[-], a little better than the students around, but not much better.

At the moment when the third grade students were defeated by Dak Dimon without any suspense, she didn't think it was possible for her to perform miracles.

Therefore, in this year's duel, she originally just wanted to go through the motions, and then take the opportunity to show her sense of presence in front of the elementary school students, that's all.

But she didn't expect the students around her to report unrealistic fantasies to her.

"Don't underestimate yourself, Lydia, you can do it!" The girl who had been at the same table with her for two and a half years clenched her fists.

"Aren't we praying for you? Magical duels are possible together!" Another girl chirped.

There is also a girl with divination talent who said mysteriously: "Maybe in this game, Dak Dimon will encounter a ghost draw? For example, five cards in the starting hand, none of them Is it a magic wizard?"

"How can that be possible?" Lydia Emerson rolled her eyes and said, "Luck seems to be nowhere to be found, but in fact, there is no luck for those who can triumphantly advance on the road of duels?"

"Then curse!" Another girl blinked at her, and suddenly said, "I just discovered a method of making a curse villain from a book recently, do you want to try it?"

Lydia Emerson: "..."

"Hey, that's it." Lydia Emerson said, "It's too late to do it now, I'm going to play and get ready."

As she said that, she put her legs down, followed her, and quickly fled in the background of chattering.

"For a person who can randomly search for treasure chests in the dungeon, luck? Damn, I really want to tie a scarecrow and curse him!"

Lydia Emerson pursed her lips, turned and entered the player channel.

……

"Beep-"

A reminder sound came from the branch card.

Duck took it out to check, then closed the book, ready to play.

The passages that the two entered were different, and the passages they chose were also in two directions.

It wasn't until they arrived at the designated venue that they finally met each other.

"Long time no see." Lydia Emerson raised her hand to her chest and scratched Duck.

Dak responded with a smile: "Good afternoon, Miss Emerson."

Lydia Emerson smiled and said, "I'm honored to be a stepping stone on your rise."

Dak was stunned for a moment: "Sister..."

Lydia Emerson blinked suddenly and said, "Okay, I'm joking. Next, please give me more advice."

Dak said, "I should be the one who asked senior sister for advice."

Lydia Emerson sighed again: "That's it, I hope I don't lose too badly."

Duck said: "Sister, it's not a good thing to be timid before fighting. Besides, I won't underestimate the enemy just because you deliberately showed weakness."

Lydia Emerson wanted to say I was really weak, but she held back and just waved, "It's time to play."

"En." Dak nodded, turned his back to Lydia, and walked towards the blue player's stage.

And Lydia Emerson, on the red team stage!

There is no loudspeaker outside the venue, so it's okay to speak casually.

When the poker table is activated, every word you say will be heard by the public, so you must be cautious in your words and deeds.

There are not a few students who have died because of their outspokenness.

Lydia Emerson put the prepared card group into the card slot and activated the card table.

On the other side, the same is true for Dak.

As the projections of the [Preparation Phase] floated above the venue, the audience who were staring at them stopped discussing one after another.

And in the ring belt.

Angus Jeffrey has also entered the dueling hall with Stuart Faun.

The duel between Angus Jeffrey and Dak Dimon was scheduled for eleven o'clock in the morning.

But since Dak Dimon still has a duel in this nine o'clock field, he certainly cannot miss it.

And after last week's duel, Stuart Faun has been valued by Angus Jeffrey and is often brought by his side.

Although Stuart Faun was unwilling to get so close to Angus Jeffrey in public because of his current messy statement, getting Angus Jeffrey's attention meant that he was far away from himself The goal is one step closer.

Therefore, his mood at this time is actually very contradictory.

But sometimes a person doesn't have much choice.

There's no way he'd say no to Angus Jeffrey's offer, and that would have cost him nothing.

As the two sat down one after another, Stuart Faun looked up at the contestant's stage.

He only glanced at it and muttered, "A duel without any suspense."

One is a third-year student at the Academy of Magic who can't be named, and the other is a super rookie who recently defeated him.

The crushing power gap will make the duel less exciting.

He doesn't want to waste time here.

But Angus Jeffrey said: "Don't be too impatient. Patience was the thing I lacked the most before, but now I know how precious it is."

Stuart Faun nodded slightly, and echoed: "Yes."

Angus Jeffrey said again: "Dak Dimon will undoubtedly win in this duel, but according to the sequence of cards he can get, we may have the opportunity to see some of the cards he has never shown. Things. And these things will provide me with the foundation to defeat him."

Stuart Faun's eyes flickered slightly, and finally he couldn't help asking: "What is the winning rate?"

"I never calculate that kind of thing." Angus Jeffrey sneered. "I never thought that I could be so terrible when I was serious. You have no idea how terrible progress I have made this semester. Defeating Dak Dimon is only the first step, I will wash away all the shame of the past in today's duel! Then restart the sails and sail to the sea of ​​stars! And you, will be my helmsman."

Stuart Faun: "…"

Can you take me with you?

……

"Beep-"

The referee blows his whistle.

【Preparation stage】【30s】

When the projection in the sky shows the 30-second countdown of [Preparation Phase].

The players on both sides have already pressed their hands on the top of the deck.

"Battle begins!"

For duelists, there are thousands of postures for drawing cards, but the way of drawing cards remains the same.

After placing the cards in his left hand, Dak Dimon looked at the five cards in his starting hand.

These five cards in hand will determine his overall strategy in this duel.

▼

【Bronze Snake Mirror】

【Bliss 3·Month】

【Wishful Dice】

【Underworld Soul Ring】

【Greedy 3】

▲

Duck: "..."

Bah!

Is it finally here?

Compensation after overdraft, period of decline in character?

Dak looked at the five magic cards in his hand, and couldn't help but recall the past.

The last time when there were no magic wizard cards among the five magic cards in the starting hand, it was the last time.

But to be honest, with his current deck lineup, it is not terrible to draw this set of cards. What is terrible is to draw five high-star magic cards that cannot be summoned normally-after all, there is really no room for retaliation.

If that happens, I'm afraid I can only rely on the ability to control the magic ball for 30 seconds.

A hand like today's is actually... not bad!

Dak calmed down quickly, and took out the [Underworld Soul Ring] from it.

Among the five cards in hand, each one is actually very useful.

The two [Major Sin Cards] can actually be used as mood-enhancing cards unless they are used to promote the evolution of the magic elves. Usually, they can make the opponent's magic elves lose their ability to fight in a short period of time.

But of course he couldn't do that in an ordinary duel.

If he really did that, the opponent's magic wizard would activate his spiritual intelligence due to the irradiation of the [Big Sin Card], and his secret, which was not a secret, would be revealed accordingly.

This is not a matter of profit or loss in terms of interests, but after exposing this secret to others, the interested person will have the basis to follow the vines, and his real secret may be discovered.

This is a risk he cannot take.

Unless it is absolutely necessary at a critical moment, it is impossible for him to reveal this hole card!

In addition to these two [Great Sin Cards], he also has two control-type Magic Cards in his hand - [Underworld Soul Ring] and [Bronze Snake Mirror]!

[Underworld Soul Ring] has a complete effect on the magic elves of the first tier, and can only produce a short-term restraint effect on the magic elves of the second tier.

And [Bronze Snake Mirror] is enough to petrify the wizard elves on the second level on the spot, making them unable to perform in the entire duel.

Therefore, with these two cards in hand, he still has room for maneuver.

What's more, there is [Ruyi Dice] suppressing the field!

"Why don't you just use [Ruyi Dice]?"

Dak's heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly realized that this is a rare opportunity.

Under the circumstance that no magical spirit card has been drawn, [Underworld Soul Ring] and [Bronze Snake Mirror] cannot be summoned without a target. Isn't that the only way to start [Ruyi Dice]?

"Do you want to take a gamble?"

"Won't there be another banquet skill?"

Dak's eyes turned wildly, and a sincere smile appeared on his face.

He felt that he had realized the joy of duel again!

"In the name of Dak Dimon, the magician..."

The chanting stopped abruptly, and Dak suddenly realized that props like [Wishful Dice], just like [Weapon Cards], must be held by the magic elves in duels before they can be activated in the end. .

The rules of magic duels have very detailed regulations on this aspect.

Similar to it, there is [Bronze Snake Mirror].

It must also be equipped in the hands of the magic wizard to activate it.

In other words, the only thing he can use now is the [Underworld Soul Ring]!

"It's a bit tricky!"

Dak frowned quietly.

……

"In the name of Lydia Emerson, the magician summons—[Water Element Lizard]!"

But at the moment when the [Battle Phase] started, Lydia Emerson did not slack off in the slightest.

She immediately summoned her first magic elf.

It was a pure water element in the outline of a lizard, about two meters long from head to tail, with only an ice-blue core swimming in its body.

▼

[Card Name: Water Elemental Lizard]

[Type: Spirit Card]

【grade:???】

[Race: Elemental]

[Attribute: Water System]

【Magic Power: 1700】

【Attack: 1100】

【Defense: 500】

[Nirvana: Elemental Pool, Melting]

▲

[Water Elemental Lizard] with two nirvana is Lydia Emerson's favorite work.

At this time, she still didn't know that the "curse" of her classmates would come true.

The main reason for summoning this magic elf is to spread the scene.

"Water Element Lizard, turned into a pool!"

The moment after giving the order, [Water Element Lizard] responded.

Its four legs melted into liquid from the bottom, and its entire body sank, forming a pool of water.

The [Element Pool] has a diameter of four to five meters once it is spread out. With the body of [Water Element Lizard] completely integrated into it, leaving only a pair of eyes floating on the water, the [Element Pool] expanded to more than ten The diameter of meters is still spreading slowly!

[Elemental pools] in nature will expand due to the increase of water elements, and [Water Elemental Lizard] must have the same effect.

Lydia Emerson gave some instructions, and [Water Element Lizard] stretched out its tail from the pool, and quickly swept the red magic ball into the water!

Although this [Elemental Pool] doesn't look deep, and the water surface is so clear that the magic ball can't hide at all, but at least the resistance of the water can resist a little damage... Shouldn't it?

what.

Duck held the only usable [Underworld Soul Ring] in his hand, his eyebrows furrowed slightly and then quickly stretched out.

30 seconds is not too long. If you use trash talking tactics at this time, it will pass after a while.

But Dark didn't do that.

He looked at Lydia Emerson's [Water Element Lizard], and even smiled.

It would be awesome if Lydia Emerson's wizards were all water elementals of this type!

So as long as he pulls the magic ball high into the sky, wouldn't he be invincible?

Of course, this situation is not realistic.

Sure enough, although she was puzzled as to why Dak didn't move, Lydia Emerson still started to summon her second magic elf.

"In the name of Lydia Emerson, the magician summons—[Water Element Eagle]!"

The water element in the silhouette of the goshawk appeared amidst the long chirping.

The thick water element added to the field caused the [Element Pool] on the ground to rapidly expand to a diameter of nearly 20 meters!

[Water Element·Eagle], under Lydia Emerson's order, swooped towards the blue half area!

……

"Ten seconds!"

Despite the crisis, Dak remained calm.

He squinted at the rapidly approaching [Water Element·Eagle], calculated the time it would take to hit the magic ball, and then released the magic power suddenly, and when it was about to hit, he controlled the magic ball to fly into the sky!

At that moment, [Water Element·Eagle] rushed to the ground due to inertia, its half body turned into liquid, and then quickly gathered together, rushing towards the blue magic ball!

It wasn't until this moment that Lydia Emerson finally realized that Dak's hand probably didn't have any usable cards!

"Chance!"

The thought suddenly flashed through her mind.

Unfortunately, time is running out.

Half of the first round has passed!

……
