The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

After a brief moment of thought, Adair decisively destroyed his own [Chariot Chessboard].

If it were just the [Cursed Soul Mask], he wouldn't be afraid of going toe-to-toe with Dekan.

However, if [Mental Toxin] is added, the [Chessboard Rook] card will become his biggest hidden danger, leading to his defeat.

The second round of negotiations between the two sides has now temporarily come to an end.

They exchanged key cards, resulting in a stalemate.

Currently, it seems that Dekan's side has gained a slight advantage.

"If Adair wants to win, he has to go all out."

The commentators were analyzing the current battle situation.

The problem is that if Adair wants to attack Dekan directly with the [Blazing Demon Sword], he has to focus on the 15x pain feedback.

Furthermore, Dekan possesses the [Crown of Thorns] ability to lock health.

If you attack Dekan directly, Dekan will most likely be fine, but Adair will be knocked unconscious.

However, the official commentators seemed to notice that both Alger and Ludwig looked serious.

It should be Dekan's advantage right now.

“Actually, judging from Adair’s reaction, he is not flustered at all, and this doesn’t seem like he’s faking it.”

Ludwig pondered for a moment.

"Remember what I said before the match? Adair might have a hidden epic card to counter Dekan. If Dekan can't handle it, he'll be the one killed on the first try."

Alger said in a somewhat serious tone.

They both knew that the competition was about to enter the third round of matches between the two sides.

This wave could very well determine the outcome of the battle.

On the battlefield, Adair seemed to be trying to regulate his breathing.

He looked at Dekan, sword in hand.

"You're very good, but that's where it ends."

Adair stroked his sword, unleashing a burst of black flames, his eyes revealing undisguised killing intent as he spoke.

He seemed to finally admit that he had underestimated Dekan.

Although Dekan is a fifth-rank official, he is a clerical worker.

However, it is also the most difficult special class to deal with when you first encounter it in a battle.

"It's not shameful for an eighth-ranked person to lose to a bishop."

Dekan said calmly.

Dekan also brought out the Broken Poet, preparing for the final wave.

Both sides' main cards are basically on cooldown.

Most of the remaining cards are useless at this moment.

Whether he can replicate his victory in his first match against Professor Arnold in Phantom Canyon remains to be seen.

Adair closed in on Dekan in an instant, raising the Blazing Demon Sword in his hand, ready to deliver a merciless vertical slash to Dekan.

Even in a brief moment of 0.1 seconds, both sides will still use crucial magic cards.

When Dekan felt that familiar chill, emanating a sense of impending death, sweep through his limbs and bones.

He knew it was time to summon his trump card, the Broken Bard.

A burst of orange light, like a divine intervention, erupted, and the magic card in Dekan's left hand vanished and materialized.

Then came the black mist surging towards the ground, spreading and covering all directions like a tide!

That familiar, dark shadow appeared behind Dekan!

"The vast fog is my endless, boundless sorrow..."

……

off the field.

No matter where in the Kingdom Federation, wherever there was a broadcast, the audience's shouts were almost enough to lift the sky off its feet!

This will be a classic remake of Dekan's first battle!

However, gasps of surprise soon came from the commentary booth.

"wrong!"

"Dekan is finished!"

The instant Dekan summoned the Broken Bard, Adair also summoned a summoning card hidden on his back!

[Faith Slayer]

[Category: Summoning Card]

[Rarity: Orange Epic]

[Class: 5]

[Effect: Destroys all summons of tier 3 and below upon successful summoning.]

[Note: There is no place for the weak in front of the strong!]

Like a knight of judgment, or a bloodthirsty butcher, he appeared in an instant and let out a deafening roar that made Dekan's eardrums tremble.

Instantly, the [Ruined Poet] turned to ashes with a resentful roar, and the black mist vanished as well.

Dekan, who had been so confident after summoning the Broken Poet, is now in a deadly predicament!

Once a summoned creature is destroyed, it will enter a cooldown period, during which he will no longer be able to immediately summon [Ruined Bard] and will simply wait to die!

The expressions of the spectators in the stands gradually froze.

They realized that the situation had suddenly reversed.

But there was no time to change his expression.

……

In the viewing hall of Hervenlitt Academy, Professor Arno looked at his student, who had become a big shot in just one year, with a solemn and tense expression.

"Dekan, the chances of successfully replicating the same trick a second time are extremely slim. You need other strategies!"

He had asked Dekan when Dekan first enrolled—

If they go to Phantom Canyon again for a game, how would Dekan beat him?

Dekan did not provide an answer at the time.

Or.

At that time, Dekan was unable to defeat Professor Arnold again after their initial encounter.

However, Arnold knew that Dekan would think about the problem seriously and find a solution.

Now, it's time for Dekan to give his answer!

Professor Arnold desperately wanted Dekan to win this game!

This was the most speechless thing he had ever encountered in his teaching career.

He was also the student he was most proud of!

……

In Phantom Canyon.

In that instant, Dekan felt that time was passing incredibly slowly.

Even if it were just 0.1 seconds later, the attack would have reached him.

But Dekan felt he was in great shape and even wanted to chat with his master.

When your opponent pulls out such a deadly card, you need to counter it.

Dekan had no choice in the past.

but.

Dekan had already considered what to do after losing the "Broken Poet".

This was something Dekan had prepared for when he fought against the corrupt bishop Fahim.

However, Fahim failed to force Dekan to use that card at that time!

"Master, we've been forced to this point, you won't blame me for using her, will you?"

"Use it."

The telepathic exchange between Dekan and his master was completed in an instant, and a smile appeared on Dekan's lips.

He was actually holding another magic card in his right hand, which he had been holding behind his back.

He never used a summoning card.

It is also a core supplement to his system.

This is a powerful card that will help him overcome all unexpected challenges and secure victory!

Dekan's magic was infused into it, and a dazzling orange light instantly overflowed from his palm!

Adair watched Dekan struggle, completely unconcerned!

Summoning anything won't help!

It can't be stopped!

Adair laughed wildly.

He was already confident of victory!

The characteristics of the Blazing Demon Sword mean that even summons with invincibility effects cannot block its attacks!

The air in the entire area suddenly boiled, and the scorching energy spread at an indescribable speed. In that instant, it seemed as if any matter would be ignited.
