This trainer has no moral principles

"What a shame! You know my spirit... Even if you knew that, what good would it do? If you destroy the Masked Monster, your Arcanite Mage will be mine. If you don't, your Arcanite Mage will be defeated. No matter what you do, you lose."

Phil was silent for a moment, then sighed, "There's nothing I can do. Although I don't really want to summon this elf, I don't want to stop here either. There are still many things I want to do in the future."

She pulled out a sprite card emitting a strange aura from the void and chanted, "O Chaos Demon that absorbs all spirits, take the sprites as your shield to resist all harm. Descend, Demon of Sacrifice!"

Chapter 130: Bulls Come and Go

[Demon of Sacrifice (1 Star) Dark]

【Pedigree: General】

【Level: 25】

[Attack power: 0 (0)]

【Defense Strength: 0 (0)】

[Magician Clan, Effect: N/A]

Although it belongs to the magician clan, the Demon of Naji doesn't look like a magician at all. It has an eye pillar extending outward, an inward-concave hole in its abdomen, large arms with sharp claws, and a pair of wings similar to banana leaves behind it. It looks a bit like a monster from a horror movie, and it would not be surprising if it was classified as a demon clan or an angel clan.

Just by looking at its appearance, you can understand why Phil doesn't like to summon it, even though it is a bodyguard given to him by his father, Beckas.

The black-robed man controlled by Malik didn't know what to say when he saw the Demon of Sacrifice. Although his elves were very yin and yang, the opponent's elves didn't look like anything from the yang world either. The only difference was in style. The Masked Beast tended to be horrific and bloody, while the Demon of Sacrifice belonged to the horror cult.

Phil didn't care about that. He had been suffering from the mental pressure of the Dark Duel and just wanted to end the Duel as soon as possible. He immediately waved his hand and said, "Activate the Sacrifice Demon characteristic. Absorb one Pokémon on the opponent's field regardless of the star difference."

The protruding eye pillars of the Sacrifice Demon suddenly shot out an evil light, freezing the Masked Demon Beast and trying to suck it into the hole in its abdomen.

The black-robed man sneered, "That's a good idea, but it's a pity you didn't train this spirit seriously. It can't control the Masked Monster with its abilities."

The strength of the elf's effect is affected by the star rating and level. The level of the Sacrifice Demon is far lower than that of the Masked Beast. The evil light it emits only hinders the Masked Beast's actions and cannot completely control the opponent.

Phil said, "Of course I know this, so I activated the spell card 'Brainwash'!"

【Normal Magic: Brainwash】

[Effect: Pay 800 Life Points, select 1 face-up monster on your opponent's field. Until the End Phase of this turn, you gain control of the selected monster.]

Whether spell cards like Brainwash, which take control of Pokémon, can be effective depends on the star difference between the trainer and the Pokémon. If the trainer's spiritual power level is higher than that of the Pokémon, they can control it temporarily. Otherwise, it will only interfere with the opponent's mind.

With Phil's spiritual power level, she naturally cannot control the eight-star masked beast, but her purpose is not to control the opposite elf, but to cooperate with the absorption of the Sacrifice Demon.

As a 1-star elf, the Sacrifice Demon cannot pay 800 health points at all, so these 800 health points are paid by the Arcanite Magister.

Suddenly, two green hands appeared on both sides of the masked monster's head, emitting invisible mental fluctuations. The masked monster's consciousness shook, and it could no longer control its body. It pounced forward and threw itself into the arms of the demon of sacrifice.

The hole in the belly of the Sacrifice Demon suddenly expanded, like a python swallowing its prey. With a creepy swallowing sound, it sucked the Masked Demon Beast, which was larger than itself, into its body. Then, the physical characteristics of the Masked Demon Beast appeared on its body surface.

Not only that, the attack and defense values ​​of the Sacrifice Demon, which originally had 0, became the attack and defense values ​​of the Masked Demon Beast, and its lineage also changed from normal to evil.

The characteristic of the Masked Monster is that when it is destroyed, it will be transformed into the spell card "Mask of Last Words". This spell card also has the effect of controlling elves, but at the moment it is absorbed by the Demon of Sacrifice, not destroyed, so its characteristics are not triggered.

Phil ordered, "It's time to end it. The Sacrifice Demon uses the Wave of Evil!"

With the powerful strength of the masked monster, Naji absorbed and gathered the evil energy, turning it into a black light wave and spreading out.

Just as the black-robed man was about to be hit, the opponent activated the last spell card covering the field: "You are the one who will be finished. I activate 'Explosive Armor' to destroy your Sacrifice Demon!"

A dark figure in armor emerged and charged directly towards the Sacrifice Demon, causing a violent explosion.

Phil looked at the billowing smoke and was not worried, because the Sacrifice Demon would use the absorbed elves as a shield to resist damage, and the exploding armor could not hurt it.

At this time, Youzhi outside the barrier shouted: "Aojin Mage, quickly attack the opposing trainer!"

Phil was stunned when he heard this and didn't have time to react. However, Mage Okin recognized the voice as that of his master's friend, and there was nothing wrong with the order itself, so he did as he was told and shot a strong mental thought at the man in black robe.

The black-robed man clicked his tongue and activated the "Mask of Last Words" that was forged from the destruction of the Masked Beast, choosing to control the Arcanite Mage - his original target was the Demon of Sacrifice.

An ugly mask appeared out of thin air and covered the face of the Arcanite Mage. The mask emitted a strong evil spirit, eroding the will of the Arcanite Mage.

Phil came back to his senses and saw the situation and could only grit his teeth and say: "Sacrifice Demon, absorb the Arcanite Magus."

The eyes of the Sacrifice Demon once again shot out evil light, freezing the companion, the Arcanite Mage, and absorbing him into his body.

"What a pity, I was a step too slow."

The man in black robe sighed. He had no spell cards in his hand and had no intention of summoning new elves. He looked like he was ready to die.

Although they were both his own spirits, Phil still found it hard to accept seeing the physical characteristics of the Arcanite Magister appear on the surface of the Sacrifice Demon. He angrily ordered, "Sacrifice Demon, use mental power!"

The Demon of Nasa glared, and a strong mental wave spread out, hitting the trainer opposite.

The man in black robe rolled on the ground several times like a corpse without a soul, and there was no movement anymore, and the barrier of the dark duel also disappeared.

"Finally, we won..."

Phil sat down on the ground, completely exhausted, feeling like he couldn't even straighten his back.

You Zhi was about to go forward to check, but Phil shook his head and said, "I'm fine, I just used up too much spiritual energy. I'm not injured. Go help Endymion and the others."

"They don't necessarily need help."

Youzhi looked up and saw that the giant tree man transformed by Crowley from the ancient tree of Paradise Lost was fighting fiercely with the Thunder King. He was not good at close combat, so he was slightly at a disadvantage, but Endymion and Sandrion used magic to assist him, inflicting heavy casualties on the Thunder King. As long as he could delay, victory was only a matter of time.

But at this moment, the Emperor of Thunder roared to the sky, and a huge pillar of lightning shot up into the sky. After penetrating the sky, it turned into countless thunderbolts that roared down and swept in all directions. The city, which was originally covered by dark clouds and looked particularly dim, suddenly became as bright as day. You Zhi and Phil hurriedly closed their eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, the light dissipated. The two people who regained their vision hurriedly looked up and found that the Thunder King and the tree man had disappeared.

You Zhi hurriedly took out the spirit cards of Crowley and Sandrion, and found that the images on the two cards were blank. Seeing this, Phil also hurriedly took out the two spirit cards on his body, and found that the image of Endymion also became blank. Only the image of the Holy Demon Girl Artemis still existed.

Before the two could discuss, a beam of light fell, followed by the second, the third...

The two looked up and found that the dark clouds covering Manjin City were gradually dissipating, and the voices of other people could be heard from all over the city, as if they were waking up from a deep sleep.

Chapter 131 New Features of the Atlas

The calamity of the Three Phantom Demons was eliminated, the huge barrier covering Manjin City disappeared, and the sleeping residents all woke up. Since everyone was so weak, it did not cause any chaos.

Police and medical staff from other cities quickly took over Manjin City. After investigation, they found that except for a very small number of seriously ill patients, no one died. All residents were just malnourished, which was equivalent to being hungry for two days. Among them, those who were originally strong had more obvious symptoms, while those who were originally thin were not affected much.

You Zhi had no intention of covering up for his former colleagues, so after the police learned the truth through questioning, they immediately issued an arrest warrant for the Gurus Group. Guan Jundu personally led the team to arrest the people, but when they arrived at the group building, they found that the building was already empty, so they had to issue a wanted order instead.

On the day the battle ended, Youzhi learned from Songye and Xiaoqian that they did not obtain the Pokémon Card of Flame Emperor because Flame Emperor had never been captured, and they did not encounter any trainers who started a dark duel.

The Phantom Demon Emperor was subdued, so he could only obey orders and fight to the death with Youzhi, but the Divine Flame Emperor was still free. He found that he could not defeat Songye and Xiaoqian, and the ancient tree of the Lost Paradise was fused by Crowley, so he lost the resistance bonus, so he fled decisively.

With the strength of the three phantom demons, if they insisted on leaving, even a king-level trainer could not stop them, not to mention that the Flame Emperor could fly. Songye and Xiaoqian could only watch them disappear into the sky.

As for Thunderlord, according to Artemis, at the last moment, the opponent used his exclusive skill "Thunderbolt" and died together with the Three Sages. The black-robed trainer who was fighting against him, while suffering from the backlash of spiritual power, threw Thunderlord's Pokémon Card to his accomplice, who took it away.

You Zhi guessed that Malik's original intention was to find a new home for the Thunder King, but his opponent was an elf, so giving him the elf card was useless. He could only take it back and continue using it himself, or wait until the future to find a suitable successor.

In addition, under the impact of the power of the phantom demon, the spirits of the three sages were eroded, causing the spirit cards to become invalid and unable to come to the world again. Artemis severed the connection with her body, causing the spirit card to become a spirit card, which could only be temporarily kept by Phil.

In fact, according to common sense, Youzhi, who had learned summoning magic, was more likely to contact Crowley, but he took into account that there were too many female elves under his command, and he had an inexplicable sense of guilt for cheating on Endymion, so he flatly refused - he liked excitement, but not this kind of excitement.

As heroes who saved Manjin City, Songye and Xiaoqian's reputations naturally rose to a higher level. Youzhi felt that with his current strength, too much fame would only bring trouble, and he also wanted to hide the secret of obtaining the phantom demon, so he chose to remain anonymous.

Phil originally wanted to remain anonymous, but Youzhi persuaded her that if she wanted to promote riding duels, the greater the fame, the better. Finally, after consulting her father, she chose to go public.

With her outstanding appearance and the publicity driven by her wealth, Phil became famous overnight. Not only did her name spread throughout Johto, but people in other regions also knew that there was a talented and beautiful girl trainer in Johto who stood up to the Three Phantom Demons, thwarted the conspiracy of the Gurus Group, and saved the residents of Manjin City.

While the public's attention was attracted by Phil, You Zhi went to Ruoye Town in a low-key manner and came to the research center where Dr. Kongmu was.

"The secret of the connection form has been roughly analyzed."

Professor Soragi reluctantly returned the Goblin's Pokémon Card to Youzhi and continued, "The Link Form isn't a higher-level evolution, but a side evolution. Theoretically, any Goblin in any form can evolve into a Dreamshatter Goblin, including the Assistant Goblin."

You Zhi pondered, "So, even if the Goblin Assault Troops gain a new evolutionary form, they can still transform into Dreamshatter Goblins in their new evolutionary form?"

"That's right, and this process cannot be reversed. In a sense, the Dream Collapse Goblin can be considered its ultimate form."

"How can I make the elves achieve the connected form?"

"I'm not sure at the moment. After all, there's only one sample. I speculate that the connection form can only be achieved with a specific item. This item isn't a natural substance like an evolution stone, but something related to elves, and it's likely that it needs to be obtained from the elf world."

You Zhi nodded, then took out the Phantom Demon King's Pokémon card and said, "By the way, this Pokémon is a bit troublesome for me to carry around, so I hope the Doctor can help keep it safe."

Dr. Kongmu took it and looked at it, and was immediately shocked: "This is not an illusion... So the unnamed person among the four saviors of Manjin City is you!"

"Well, please keep this matter confidential."

The star level of the Phantom Demon Emperor far exceeds Youzhi's spiritual power level, and there is no emotional foundation between them. In addition, with Youzhi's current strength, he cannot defeat the opponent in a one-on-one fight. He cannot convince the opponent with reason like he did with the out-of-control Qilizard Yihao. Carrying him with him is of no value except to provoke danger. It is better to hand it over to Dr. Kongmu for research.

When my spiritual power is increased to ten stars in the future, or my strong and weak pseudo-god states break through two levels, I can consider taking it back.

"no problem!"

Dr. Soramu assured him, but after his excitement died down, he said rationally, "However, my expertise lies in the field of elf evolution, and my research on god-level elves is very limited. I will have to consult with my senior, Dr. Oak, and I will inevitably have to tell him the whole story."

"Dr. Oak can be trusted."

You Zhi pulled out the Celestial Ravage Fist Pokémon card again and asked, "In our previous battle, the opponent used this Pokémon card to enhance the Demon King's abilities and unleash a new skill, but it wasn't a spell card. What's going on?"

"This is called a skill card. Most powerful elves have their own unique skills. These unique skills cannot be learned through skill stones, and it is difficult to comprehend them through leveling up and daily training. However, skill cards can help them master them quickly. By the way, skill cards don't have to be elf cards, they can also be spell cards. You have to judge by the card image and effect."

At this point, Dr. Kong Mu slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot. I got an idea when I was researching goblins. I can add a new plug-in to your Pokémon Encyclopedia to add the function of recording Pokémon skills."

You Zhi naturally would not refuse.

Kong Mu took the Pokémon encyclopedia, placed it on the workbench, and quickly disassembled, assembled, and repaired it. His technique was extremely skillful. It was obvious that he often practiced his hands-on ability in his daily life.

Youzhi activated the modified Pokémon Encyclopedia and discovered a new function. After starting it, he aimed at the Pokémon Card "Phantom Demon Emperor Rabbiel - Heavenly Ravaging Fist" and it was immediately displayed on the screen.

[Skill: Heavenly Ravage Fist]

[Pedigree: Evil]

【Power: 100】

[Description: A powerful punch that triggers shockwaves, particularly effective against fairy-type Pokémon.]

Chapter 132: The Knight's Promise

Dark types normally deal half damage to Fairy types, but "Heavenly Ravage Fist" ignores this rule and can deal double the damage.

This is nothing surprising. For example, in Pokémon, there is an ice skill called "Freeze Drying" that has a similar effect. It can ignore the rule that ice damage to water damage is halved and double the damage.

It is worth mentioning that elf skills belong to elf skills, and card effects belong to card effects. The effect of doubling the attack power of the Phantom Demon Emperor and attacking all elves on the field at the same time comes from the card "Phantom Demon Emperor Rabbiel - Heaven's Ravaging Fist" and has nothing to do with the skill "Heaven's Ravaging Fist".

Just like in the previous duel, after the black-robed man used this elf card, he did not let the Phantom Demon Emperor use the Heavenly Ravaging Fist, but instead used the Wave of Evil.

Theoretically, elves can also master exclusive skills through training, and then use them normally without skill cards, but it is extremely difficult and requires extremely high talent.

In addition, using elf cards to strengthen elves will also consume spiritual power, and the amount consumed is proportional to the star level, but its advantage is that it does not require refining and can be taken out and activated at any time when you want to use it.

After listening to Dr. Kongmu's explanation, Youzhi suddenly realized that he might have another skill card. He immediately refined it into "Silent Magic Blast" and scanned it with the Pokémon Encyclopedia, and sure enough, there was a response.

[Skill: Silent Demon Blast]

[Pedigree: Superpowers]

【Power: 95】

[Description: A wide-area mental wave that can only be launched after charging. The spirits hit cannot use their own skills for a certain period of time.]

"Sure enough, Silent Demon Blast is the exclusive skill of the Silent Magician."

You Zhi sighed in his heart, this is the result of knowledge monopoly. Some trainers may be lucky enough to obtain the skill card of the Pokémon, but they have no idea about the exclusive skills. They just treat them as ordinary spell cards and never think about letting the Pokémon learn exclusive skills until they retire.

Dr. Kong Mu said, "Although the Three Phantom Demons incident wasn't a singularity, it did save the residents of Manjin City. I'll apply for a reward for you later. Please submit a report briefly outlining the process. You can omit the details about obtaining the Phantom Demon King Spirit Card, as the psychic will be there to testify."

"I know, I'll get it done later."

"By the way, are you going to continue challenging the gym next?"

"This is the main mission. As long as there are no other delays, we will continue."

"Then I suggest you obtain all the badges in Johto within a year."
