The Villain Only Wants To Live a Buddhist Life
Chapter 247: Emma Mortis' counterattack (2 in 1)

[Battle Phase][30s]

The second round.

Draw card.

Emma gritted her teeth a little, and summoned the third magical spirit!

The Golden Beast had 1800 points of defense under the Golden Worm's infest, enough to handle most magical spirits.

But the ultimate goal of a duel was to break a magic ball's life barrier.

Emma was still unable to remotely control the magic ball, so she must summon the magical spirit to protect it from sneak attacks.

Soon, the white light projected from the magic card fell on the red player's summoning area, and a new magical spirit appeared!

Not as ferocious as the Golden Beast, the new magical spirit was a bronze statue of a soldier kneeling on one knee.

The bronze statue of a soldier with a long sword hanging diagonally on his waist was tall and lifelike, and similar to the golem game of the academy, he was wearing full-body light armor.

…

[Card name: Bronze Soldier]

[Type: Spirit Card]

[Level: ✪✪✪]

[Race: Mech-type]

[Attribute: Steel-type]

[Magic Energy: 1100]

[Attack: 1200]

[Defense:1300]

[Ultimate: Sweep]

...

Almost at the same time, Spencer also summoned his third magical spirit.

Appearing in the blue player's summoning area was a glowing beetle flying in the air.

…

[Card name: Electromagnetic Beetle]

[Type: Spirit Card]

[Level: ✪]

[Race: mech-type]

[Attribute: Electric-type]

[Magic energy: 100]

[Attack: 100]

[Defense: 200]

[Ultimate: Magnetic Perception]

...

Electromagnetic Beetle was like an iron beetle as a whole, with sensors capable of sensing magnetic force on its two antennas, which could replace the compass to indicate the direction when exploring, and it was a good helper for adventurers.

But on the duel arena, its only advantage was that it could fly.

Flying in the air could avoid many attacks, which was the inherent advantage of flying magical spirits.

...

With the appearance of this apparently only 1-star magical spirit, Emma immediately realized that the other party had gathered enough sacrifices to summon the 4-star magical spirit.

It gave her a sense of urgency.

But although the Golden Beast tore out one word after another on the Sandbag Tiger's body, it still could not cause real harm to it.

Emma looked at the cards in her hand, trying to find a way to solve it.

But her deck, like most first-year students in this period, was dominated by magical spirit cards of the first tier.

There were also many magical spirit cards in her hand that are used to make up numbers.

Now that even the Golden Beast couldn't break the Sandbag Tiger's defense, it was pointless to summon other magical spirits.

The disadvantage of not having a high-star magical spirit was completely revealed at this moment.

Emma pulled the corner of a magic card from her hand, her eyes flickered.

This magic card was her biggest achievement recently.

...

[Card name: Gold Plate]

[Type: Magic Spell Card]

[Effect: A magical spirit will be plated with a layer of gold, turning it into a golden object. Defense +100. ]

...

"She's still a first year student after all."

However, seeing the anxiousness and apprehension in Emma's eyes, Spencer took out a 4-star magical spirit from his hand and suddenly reminded Emma: "I'm going to summon."

Emma's heart sank instantly, and she immediately looked up at him.

This second-year Magister House senior actually took out a magic card and started the tribute summoning in front of her!

Was this a warning to her who was a newbie, or was it an arrogant contempt?

Emma frowned, but she also knew that she had no means of preventing Spencer from performing the tribute summoning.

But she had full confidence in the Golden Beast's defense, if what was going to be summoned was just a 4-star magical spirit...

And if he was indeed going to summon a 4-star magical spirit, then he had to sacrifice that Sandbag Tiger!

It was not a good choice to give up the protection of the magic ball in order to pursue the magical spirit of the second tier.

Emma held her breath, ready to command the Golden Beast to attack the magic ball!

...

A moment later, Spencer completed the tribute summoning!

The Electromagnetic Beetle that just appeared first turned into light, and then...

Emma's eyes twitched. She suddenly noticed that the Bony Tiger's bones, which had not disappeared, were glowing at the moment!

Spencer's voice sounded at this moment: "I offer Electromagnetic Beetle and Bony Tiger's Dying Bone as tributes, and summon—"

A huge tribute summoning magic circle was glowing in the air, and from it jumped out a white-furred Bully Dog!

The Bully Dog, which was more than two meters tall, emitted a black fetid smoke from the corners of its mouth, and its wrinkled face was hideous and ugly. It was a magical spirit that was completely inconsistent with Spencer's temperament.

…

[Card name: Bully Dog]

[Type: Spirit Card]

[Level: ✪✪✪✪]

[Race: Bird & Beast-type]

[Attribute: Dark Type]

[Magic Energy: 1600]

[Attack: 1800]

[Defense:1600]

[Ultimate: Rabid Fang]

...

"The bones of that Bony Tiger can actually be used as a 3-star sacrifice..."

This was the first time Emma saw this kind of play style, she was completely shocked.

How can he not let his magical spirit rest in peace?

This made her immediately issue an order: "Golden Beast, return to defense!"

Since the other party had successfully summoned the 4-star magical spirit without sacrificing Sandbag Tiger, then her Golden Beast's attack was meaningless.

Quickly returning to defense and trying to survive this round was her best choice.

As long as she survived this round, she would still have a chance to turn the tables.

But just after the Golden Beast let go of Sandbag Tiger, Spencer on the blue player's platform called out in a flat tone: "Sandbag Tiger, vent your anger!"

"Roar!" The Sandbag Tiger who was originally sitting on the ground letting the Golden Beast maul it without resisting turned its head sharply. Its eyes that had been pressed into a slit by its fat cheeks opened angrily, glaring fiercely at the Golden Beast!

A dazzling light erupted from its body, and the white light that flowed from each wound gathered together to form a powerful beam of light that shot through the Golden Beast's body!

The Golden Beast, a magical spirit with defense power as high as 1800 and magic energy as high as 1300, was instantly blasted away, and a huge and terrifying hole appeared in its chest!

"Golden Beast!" Emma couldn't help crying out.

But Golden Beast held on!

The mortal wounds in the chest was enough to make most magical spirits incapacitated, but the Golden Beast was a mech-type magical spirit; even if there was only one head left, it could continue to bite as long as the magic energy remained.

Emma found that the magic energy of the Golden Beast was not exhausted, so she immediately activated the magic spell card in her hand——[Gold Plate]!

The Bronze Soldier beside the Golden Beast was instantly enveloped in golden light, and a puddle of liquid gold was poured from the top of its head, coating it with a perfect golden shell.

Then the Bronze Soldier's original defense of 1300 became 1400.

This was a very good defense value for a 3-star magical spirit.

But that was not the real reason why the [Gold Plate] was good.

"Golden Devour!" The Golden Beast stood up under Emma's order, its mouth opened to a terrifying level and swallowed the "Golden Soldier" from head to toe!

The "Golden Soldier" voluntarily offered itself as a tribute and left the arena.

After the Golden Beast devoured the "Golden Soldier", a rich golden light suddenly burst out from its body.

Under the golden light, the Golden Beast's chest wound healed at a high speed visible to the naked eye, and its already huge body expanded further.

Under the effect of the [Golden Devour], the Golden Beast not only recovered, but also became stronger!

Its magic energy limit skyrocketed by 500 points!

And its abnormal state was dispelled.

Even its defense and attack increased by 100 points each!

[Magic energy: 1300→1800]

[Attack: 1300→1400]

[Defense: 1800→1900]

…

Seeing that the Golden Beast stood up again, Emma was relieved.

Those who would participate in the dueling club's recruitment competition in the second semester of the second year were generally not too strong, and the 4-star magical spirit was already their limit.

And her Golden Beast would not be inferior to a 4-star magical spirit after successfully triggering [Golden Devour].

With up to 1900 defense, it would make most 4-star magical spirits feel powerless.

This was the source of her confidence.

And she also knew about the [Bully Dog] that Spencer summoned.

It belonged to the more common 4-star magical spirit, and its ultimate ability was most likely [Rabid Fang], which could make the bitten magical spirit fall into an uncontrolled frenzy state.

But skills like this were generally not effective on mech-types.

Next, she needed to find a way to increase the attack power of the Golden Beast!

Building a powerful spirit in various ways was the main idea of ​​her current tactics.

However, the key magic card had not been drawn yet.

...

On the other side of the arena, Spencer showed a slightly surprised expression.

He didn't know Emma's Golden Beast well and couldn't tell how much the Golden Beast recovered, so he ordered the Bully Dog to make a tentative attack.

What surprised him again was that the Bully Dog's attack of up to 1800 could not break the defense of Emma's Golden Beast, and the effect of the [Rabid Fang] was useless.

But the Golden Beast also posed no threat to the Bully Dog, so the two sides fell into a stalemate.

In the stalemate, the second round ended.

...

The third round.

Both sides drew cards at the same time.

Spencer lost his composure at the beginning, and his card drawing action revealed a trace of urgency.

After drawing two new magic cards, he quickly checked it, and then the corners of his mouth slightly curled up into a smile. He picked out one of the magic cards and placed it on his lips.

Then he looked at the red player's platform and whispered, "To think that a first-year student can make me feel threatened, she is very good. In the name of Spencer Alec, Magic Summoning — Flaming Claws!"

A crimson flame suddenly shot from the card surface and injected into the right paw of the Bully Dog!

The dog's paw with sharp nails burst into flames!

"Woof!" The Bully Dog barked, jumping at Golden Beast again!

...

"A fire enchantment or a fire weapon?" Emma couldn't tell whether Spencer was using a magic spell card or a Weapon Card, but either was a great threat to her.

Fire-type would counter the Steel-type.

The Bully Dog with Flaming Claws now had the ability to penetrate the defenses of the Golden Beast!

Once the Golden Beast was defeated, she would be powerless.

But unfortunately, she was very lucky.

"Golden Treasure Chest!" Emma raised the magic card confidently, shooting out a dazzling golden light at the Bully Dog in the arena!

Immediately later, a treasure chest full of gold popped out in front of Bully Dog's eyes!

No creature could resist the allure of gold!

No creature!

The Bully Dog's eyes suddenly turned into the shape of Φ!

That was the symbol for the sacred coin.

Its sprint stopped abruptly, and the expression on its face changed from grim to greedy.

"Bully Dog, attack Sandbag Tiger!" Emma ordered instantly.

The Golden Treasure Chest would not control the magical spirit for more than 30 seconds, so the winner must be decided as soon as possible!

The Bully Dog, whose control was transferred, turned around and rushed towards the blue player's sumoninng area.

The Golden Beast also fluttered high and rushed out at the same time!

...

At this moment, Spencer finally realized the charm of a duel.

His face changed drastically, and he couldn't calm down any longer.

The Bully Dog's Flaming Claws ripped through his Sandbag Tiger's defense and even set fire to its skin.

Although the Sandbag Tiger was still able to withstand the attack with the help of its skill [Endure], the Golden Beast that followed had already stabbed its claws to its abdomen, and successfully touched the blue player's magic ball!

"Bully Dog, wake up!" Spencer hurriedly leant his body over the railings on the edge of the platform, shouting to the Bully Dog.

But his bond with the magical spirit was clearly not deep enough. The Bully Dog continued to swing its flaming right paw to tear the Sandbag Tiger apart!

The blue player's magic ball was then exposed to the air.

In order to avoid any accident from happening, Emma immediately gave the order to attack at the same time.

As the flame claws and the golden claws fell at the same time, the life barrier of the blue player's magic ball was completely shattered!

"The battle is over!"

"Winner: Emma Mortis."

...

"I won!" Emma was a little stunned when she saw the light dots that exploded when the life barrier shattered.

After experiencing the blow of Angelia-senpai, although she didn't give up, the repeated failures still made her, who was still a little girl, a little upset.

This joyous victory was still meaningful to her.

Victory would always bring confidence.

And confidence was something that a winner must have.

The students of the first-year Knight House finally ushered in their own moment after suffering for an entire afternoon.

Their Emma, ​​successfully defeated a second year student!

Loud cheers burst out in the audience crazily.

The two seniors from the Literature Club looked at Emma kindly and applauded.

White in the crowd looked enviously.

In the last semester, he always thought that he would be one in that position.

...

The winner was greeted with cheers, but the loser was not mocked.

Spencer walked down the stage with his head down, but his friends quickly gathered around to comfort him.

...

On the judging panel, Professor Jones said proudly: "Emma Mortis, not bad!"

Professor Fox's face darkened slightly: "Professor Jones, a momentary failure doesn't mean anything, Spencer is a very diligent student, he will win it back in the next Rookie League."

Professor Jones said with a smile: "We shall see."

Today, she was undoubtedly victorious.

When revealing the scores, Professor Jones held up the signs first. "Red player, Emma, ​​9 points. Blue player, Spencer, 6 points."

Professor Fox snorted coldly and raised his cards. "Red player, 8 points. Blue player, 5 points."
