The Villain Only Wants To Live a Buddhist Life

Everything was within the calculation.

Emma figured that Sara would use Sphynx Cat's "Shadow Tag" to limit the Golden Beast.

Sara figured that Emma would use [Golden Treasure Chest] to help Golden Beast get rid of "Shadow Tag" control.

So she prepared the arcana force card - [Azban's Deathrattle] in advance!

...

In a legendary tale from the ancient past, a mighty alchemist called Azban incurred the wrath of a god when the creations he crafted were deemed blasphemous by the god.

Foreseeing the coming of punishment, Azban laid down a blood magic circle in advance to release a powerful curse before falling into hell. The curse, Azban's Deathrattle, was said to be so powerful that even that god could not escape and eventually died in endless pain!

...

When Sphynx Cat's blood spilled on the magic circle, it met the trigger condition of [Azban's Deathrattle]. [Azban's Deathrattle] devoured the last bit of life of Sphynx Cat and gave Golden Beast the most painful torture with its "soul" as a medium!

Even the mech-type Golden Beast could not resist the curse of the dead.

...

But seeing the magic energy of Golden Beast dropping at a rate of 100 per second, Emma did not panic.

"Golden Devour!"

The ferocious Golden Beast turned its head sharply and actually took a bite at the Golden Treasure Chest that was used to confuse Sphynx Cat!

A treasure chest made of gold itself was also full of gold.

The Golden Beast bit the Golden Treasure Chest and chewed it hard, then swallowed it.

Immediately, a strong golden light erupted from its body!

The curse, after all, was just an arcana force card based on the legendary event and not the original. The gray-white shadow that was shot into the Golden Beast was actually forced out by the light of gold!

Then the Golden Beast's magic energy cap skyrocketed by 500 points!

And its abnormal state was dispelled.

Even its defense and attack also increased by 100 points each!

[Magic Energy: 1300→1800]

[Attack: 1300→1400]

[Defense:1800→1900]

The Golden Beast not only recovered to its full health, but its stats also reached a level comparable to the top four-star magical spirits!

This combination was not able to unfold in the duel with Dark due to Emma being limited by her summoning speed was finally successfully used in the duel with Sara.

Sara never thought that Emma had this hidden move up her sleeve, her expression changed drastically.

She hurriedly looked through the cards in her hand, looking for a way to solve it.

Meanwhile, Anubis on the other side of the field had returned to its original speed and was playing a cat-and-mouse game with the 777 Treasure Chest Monster after having relied on [Shadow Hunt] to scrape 200 magic energy points from the 777 Treasure Chest Monster.

The Golden Beast on the other hand faced Dead Mummy's back and struck down with its claw, only to leave three bloody marks.

It then grabbed the back of Dead Mummy's neck violently and flew high!

Dead Mummy was clinging to the Magic Ball in its belly, closing its eyes and ignoring everything.

In short, It was a stalemate and no one could defeat the other for the time being.

"Tick!"

The second round was over.

Sara finally got the magic card she wanted in the third round.

By this time, Emma's Golden Beast had swooped down and killed Anubis!

Seeing Anubis turning back into spots of light, Sara summoned her second 3-star magical spirit!

→[Living Mummy]

...

[Card name: Living Mummy]

[Type: spirit card]

[Level: ???]

[Race: Undead-type]

[Attribute: Shadow]

[Magic Energy: 1200]

[Attack: 1000]

[Defense:1000]

[Ultimate: Shadow Resurrection]

...

Living Mummy's body was also wrapped in bandages, but more of its skin was exposed, including its delicate face, which now radiated vitality.

The crown on her head and the staff in her hand symbolized her identity when she was alive.

Her ultimate was a magical skill that could return the magical spirit of the shadow attribute no higher than her level to the battlefield——[Shadow Resurrection]!

The magical spirit could not have died more than three minutes before the resurrection.

And resurrection would last three minutes.

In a duel match, that would mean six rounds!

...

Living Mummy, who appeared on one knee, paid no attention to Dead Mummy who was still being held by the Golden Beast.

As she stomped her staff forcefully, a series of clear, water-like ripples emanated from the staff's center, spreading outward in concentric circles accompanied by a faint, melodic chant that seemed to weep and lament.

The [Sphynx Cat] that Sara put on the table suddenly trembled wildly!

She stretched out a finger and pressed the edge of the magical spirit card. Immediately, a cat's shadow emerged from it and landed next to Living Mummy in the blink of an eye.

"Meow~!"

Sphynx Cat came back on the battlefield!

...

After hearing the piercing cat meow, Emma's previously confident expression suddenly changed in an instant.

She hurriedly took out a white card from her hand.

But after Living Mummy completed the [Shadow Resurrection] secret technique, she raised her staff high and leaped up!

The Sphynx Cat followed close behind.

Although Living Mummy's stats were not high for being a 3-star magical spirit, they were comparable to or higher than the top 2-star cards.

She was exceptionally agile in her movements; so much so that the treasure chest monster, which could only hop and flee, had no chance of escaping. It let out a painful cry as she struck it on the head with her staff.

Although Emma knew what would happen if she ordered the Golden Beast to fly down, she had no other choice.

The result was as expected. The CD of Sphynx Cat's skill had been reset after it was resurrected. It stepped on the shadow of the Golden Beast and fixed its figure!

The next moment.

Living Mummy destroyed the treasure chest monster with her staff and held the Red Magic Ball in her hand!

...

The white card in Emma's hand was not even as good as the 777 Treasure Chest Monster in terms of stats alone and had no summoning value.

Before the Golden Beast could break free, Sara ordered Living Mummy to break the life barrier of the red player's Magic Ball!

[1000→0]

"The battle is over!" 𝙗𝒆𝒅𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝙢

"Winner: Sara Swati!"

...

Although this duel lasted only two minutes, the players on both sides tried their best to show their cards.

Even if Emma was reluctant, she had to admit that her card deck was completely suppressed by Sara in terms of strength.

Whether it was [Sphynx Cat], or [Dead Mummy] and [Living Mummy], it was beyond her imagination!

"As expected of the representative of the Magister House!"

Emma gritted her teeth and started to collect the cards.

A momentary defeat would not discourage her, she believed that she would definitely be able to defeat her the next time.

As she retrieved the magic cards of the Golden Beast and Golden Worm, Emma suddenly noticed that Sara hadn't packed up her cards. Instead, she was standing on her tiptoes on the platform, peering underneath it as if searching for something.

...

Sara searched for a long time, then her eyes suddenly brightened when she finally found the blond boy who beat her.

She didn't hide her excitement at all and waved at the boy in front of everyone.

When Dark's eyes met hers, she smiled sweetly: "I'm back!"
