Chapter 273 Part 2 2 in 1
[Defense:1100]
[Ultimate: Perfect Assembly、Giant Core Impact]
……
“Is that even possible?” Dark blinked subconsciously, he was truly surprised.
Thinking about many favors he owed to craft [Fusion], it was absolutely unfair that Kevin’s magical spirit could be fused once it had been summoned!
But, the combined robots do look really cool!
However, judging from its relatively unchanged spring-like legs, the magical spirit’s mobility seemed limited. So, Dark just took precaution and was not too anxious.
The body of [Mechanical Components: Giant Core] started to rotate and sink inward. A cylindrical indent appeared. Soon, an eye-catching, flashing white light appeared!
This assembled component was obviously a turret!
“BOOM！”
A loud boom rocked the entire arena.
A massive, long beam of light blasted toward the red player’s area!
It covered a hundred meters in just a blink of an eye.
“Shuckle!”
Shuckle immediately stood up with its four limbs and blocked the magic ball behind its body.
The beam of light instantly hit the belly portion of its armor. A scorched mark surfaced. Shuckle’s magic energy points dropped by -1.
“……”
Taking advantage of the previous atmosphere, Wilson initially wanted to say something. However, he suddenly found himself dumbstruck.
Many people in the audience also gasped at the outcome.
Standing on the blue player platform, Kevin’s gaze stiffened.
Although he had expected that outcome, he was still shocked by Shuckle’s astounding defense when he saw it for himself.
“Don’t get cocky. This is just a test attack.”
Kevin clenched his teeth and murmured as if he had to explain.
Next, he drew another magic card and summoned the third time!
“Magic summoning. Eggshell Armor!”
A silver egg, covered in a metallic luster, descended from the sky instantly.
When it was about to touch the ground, multiple vertical and horizontal cracks appeared on the surface of the egg.
“Crack!”
Eggshell Armor unfolded instantly.
Pieces of metallic eggshell floated in mid-air, spinning rapidly.
Unlike what some expected, the Eggshell Armor did not attach itself to the mechanical components. Instead, it directly surrounded the blue player’s magic ball!
“Swoosh!”
With a strange sound, the broken piece of the Eggshell Armor suddenly contracted inwardly. Each piece of that eggshell attached itself to the blue player’s magic ball’s life barrier.
A few seconds later, a magic ball encapsulated in the silver egg appeared before everyone. The silver egg had undoubtedly provided the magic ball with quite a significant level of defense!
……
"As we all know, the life barrier of a magic ball is extremely fragile and has no defense to speak of. However, Elvis Kevin had used an extraordinary item card to strengthen it. This should catch Dark Demon by surprise."
Wilson regained his composure and continued with his commentary.
……
Meanwhile, on the red player platform, Dark was indeed surprised. Originally, he thought that Eggshell Armor, like Emma’s [Golden Worm], would fuse with [Mechanical Components: Giant Core] and make it even cooler.
Since that was not the case, it was inconsequential.
Even though measures to protect the magic ball were necessary, they did not affect this battle much.
"Tick!"
It was now the second round.
Dark quickly drew his cards and turned them over to have a look.
▼
[Phantom Magic Beast：Ditto]
[Lust Ⅲ]
▲
“It’s here!”
When Dark's gaze fell on [Lust Ⅲ], he started planning in his head.
Though the two mechanical components that Kevin summoned in the first round were very unique, they ironically revealed the characteristics of the card system he had.
The five cards that Kevin had in his starting play was apparently inadequate for him to fully utilize his system.
Their second round of card drawing could be an opportunity to turn the tides.
If Dark did not have an adequate countermeasure, he may be at a disadvantage.
Luckily, [Lust Ⅲ] had appeared. This gave him choices. Two choices to be exact.
[Phantom Magic Beast：Eevee]
[Phantom Magic Beast：Ditto]
Both Phantom Magic Beast could use [Lust Ⅲ] to become stronger！
The appearance of a 4-star magical spirit was enough to control the situation.
“It seems Kevin uses Steel-type magical spirits predominately, Sylveon is a fairy-type that is weak against Steel-type.”
“I choose Ditto!”
It was a simple choice out of the two.
At the start of the second round, Dark used Normal Summoning Spell and summoned [Phantom Magic Beast：Ditto]!
When the [Phantom Magic Beast：Ditto] card showed on the projection, Wilson, who could see it clearly from the commentary platform, could not help exclaiming, “It is a Phantom Magic Beast! Dark Demon had unexpectedly summoned his starter magical spirit! Let’s see what is so special about his Phantom Magic Beast."
……
From the front row, Valkyrie Alvette clasped her hands together and said nervously, "Is this my baby’s starter magical spirit? Why does it look like Slime?”
“Don’t be misled.” Claire shook her head. “Dark’s starter magical spirit is another Phantom Magic Beast.”
“Huh? He has two Phantom Magical Beasts?” Alvette asked.
Claire smiled. "We usually consider a person’s starter Phantom Magic Beast to be the best expression of his or her personal traits. This is also true for Dark's starter Phantom Magic Beast. I think you'll see that soon enough.”
Alvette sighed. “You always like to keep people in suspense.”
With that, she continued watching the arena worriedly.
……
The light-purple, slime-like Ditto stood on top of Shuckle’s shell. With a cheerful expression, it swayed its soft body from side to side.
The first-year students all remembered this Phantom Magic Beast very well, some of them could not help showing strange expressions.
If there was a popularity poll on the “Most Desired” magical spirit among what Dark had, Ditto would certainly take one of the top spots.
Those who were not in the know would never understand how enviable it was to have such a magical spirit!
……
For example, one of these people was Elvis Kevin on the blue player's platform. He stared bewildered.
The two magical spirits that Dark had summoned seemed to be “weaker” and weaker. It almost made Kevin regret that he had not prepared a deck which could allow him to attack faster.
But, it was not too late to pick up the pace.
After Dark’s turn, Kevin summoned his third magical spirit — [Mechanical Components: Extreme]！
……
[Card name: Mechanical Components: Extreme]
[Type: spirit card]
[Level: ✪✪]
[Race: mech-type]
[Attribute: Steel-type]
[Magic energy：500]
[Attack: 1000]
[Defense:100]
[Ultimate:Perfect Assembly]
……
The mechanical component with an “Extreme” marking carved on its forehead, had a cylindrical body which was almost two meters in height. Its four limbs and facial features were all atop of its body.
Even though it was also a Steel-type magical spirit, this mech-type was very flexible. It was like a long piece of rice cake.
It simply looked comical.
However, the second-year students who knew a bit about Kevin's deck were revved up!
The rivalry between first-year and second-year students had begun as early as the beginning of this match.
"Wow! It's the third mechanical component! Come on, appear before us. The combination that can break through leveling! Guardian of Hyper Ancient Civilisation —Mechanical Guardian!” Wilson announced even more excitedly.
Standing on the blue player’s platform, Kevin's face twitched but he still gave the order under Wilson's "command".
"Perfect Assembly, Mechanical Guardian!"
The [Mechanical Components: Extreme], which had just been summoned, immediately jumped onto the shoulders of [Mechanical Components: Giant Core]. It was assembled horizontally, forming two strong and powerful arms!
A sheen of white light flashed, and "Ultimate - Perfect Assembly" was successfully activated.
Under the effect of the ultimate, the mechanical body which was assembled by the three mechanical components executed a perfect Fusion. The magical spirit’s whole body became more coordinated and more powerful.
……
[Card name: Mechanical Guardian]
[Type: spirit card]
[Level: ✪✪✪✪✪]
[Race: mech-type]
[Attribute: Steel-type]
[Magic energy：1100]
[Attack: 1200]
[Defense:1200]
[Ultimate:Perfect Assembly、Extremely Giant Transformation]
……
“It has begun.” Angus Jeffrey, the president of Aristocratic History Research Society in the ring belt, immediately showed a slightly smug smile.
Kevin could use "Perfect Assembly" on each of his mechanical components. If there were more than three components, and their star level exceeded 3-star, they could be assembled into [Mechanical Guardian].
The [Mechanical Guardian] that was assembled by the three mechanical components, “Extreme”, “Giant” and “Core”, was a magical spirit which reached 5-star!
Serving a crushing defeat to a first-year student (even if he was somewhat overstat) should not be too difficult after summoning a 5-star magical spirit at the beginning of the second round.
"Pity." Jeffrey sighed again.
Mike Irving asked curiously, "Why the sigh?"
Jeffrey sighed and said, “It is too quick. If he was defeated after displaying his full abilities, it would be more dramatic.”
Irving laughed. “Jeffrey, you have a sick sense of humor.”
"I'll take that as a compliment." Jeffrey replied.
……
The completed [Mechanical Guardian] had a large upper body and a small lower body. It looked quite clumsy and did not possess the stature of a 5-star magical spirit.
Dark could only make an inference from the outer appearance of the magical spirit. Meanwhile, he activated [Lust Ⅲ]！
A pink light gathered into a pillar of light through the control of his magic energy.
Dark pointed [Lust III] at Ditto, and the pillar of light shone on Ditto's body like a stage light!
Since confirming that the [deadly sin] series magic cards could indeed enlighten other magical spirits, Dark had paid special attention to it.
After bathing in the light of [Lust], a [Lust] crest lit up on Ditto’s forehead.
When the crest took shape, the beam of light was instantly absorbed, leaving only a faint sense of charm in the air.
Out of the norm, Ditto had been promoted from a 1-star to a 4-star magical spirit!
Its ultimate, [Transform], was also ready.
Dark tapped his fingers on the card table, thinking quickly.
Abandoning his strategy to make it a quick battle, Dark wanted to control this duel with more finesse.
Kevin’s “Trinity一Assembly” was certainly impressive and Wilson’s commentary really emphasized on it.
However, before [Mechanical Guardian] could really display something, Dark had to carefully decide whether that magical spirit was worthy to be copied by Ditto!
Soon, Elvis Kevin responded to his anticipation.
……
Under Kevin’s command, Mechanical Guardian finally initiated an attack. Bouncing forward with its short and small spring-loaded legs, it headed towards the red player’s summoning area.
Honestly speaking, it really had a sense of rhythm.
Dark hastily pursed his lips to prevent himself from laughing out loud.
When [Mechanical Guardian] managed to run past the center line, the second round was already over!
"Tick!"
The game entered the third round.
Dark casually touched his deck, and his fingertips touched a trace of coldness.
At that moment, it seemed as if “the battle horns had been sounded”, the center of the [Mechanical Guardian]'s body lit up with a dazzling light!
“Extremely Giant Transformation!” Elvis Kevin's nonchalant and calm voice rang out.
The Mechanical Guardian started transforming under the strong light！
First, the middle of its rectangular body started expanding. Next, it was its limbs. Then, it was its head.
Once!
Double!
Thrice!
Every step Mechanical Guardian took, it grew one time larger.
After it took three steps, it was already three times its original size.
Its height was originally less than two meters but it became taller than five meters!
When the giant robot appeared, the audience finally had the impulse to cheer.
This duel between the Crimson Stars from the two different years seemed to have really started from this moment!
……
“Crush them, Mechanical Guardian!”
There was finally some fluctuation in Elvis Kevin’s voice.
The Mechanical Guardian’s spring-loaded legs had already grown gigantic. It crouched down violently and used the compression to jump upward!
Its huge body flew upward!
In a split second, it surpassed the height of the player’s platform. As the sunlight shone down, its shadow engulfed the two tiny magical spirits in the arena.
In an instant, waves of gasps rippled through the audience.
Valkyrie subconsciously grabbed the thigh of the eldest princess beside her because she was too nervous, causing the eldest princess's expression to twist.
"Well."
"It looks worthy."
Dark looked up and murmured.
Ditto, still swaying its body in the middle of the arena, suddenly turned serious. Jumping from Shuckle's back, it flew forward aggressively.
"Come on, in full view of the audience! Transform!"
Under the astonished gazes from the thousands of people, the tiny Ditto rushed toward the giant robot like David versus Gothliah.
Then, just like a balloon, its body expanded rapidly.
In just a short span of time, it perfectly replicated the magical spirit’s size, angles and details!
An identical giant robot retaliated against [Mechanical Guardian] from below!
The whole audience gasped!
