Irving initially thought that at any rate, Dark would have to expend some time in order to break through the bronze gates.
But he had never imagined that Dark wouldn't even attempt to break through the gate at all.
That pitch black demon actually possessed an ultimate skill of the spatial transfer type!
It directly teleported inside the gate…
"Concede your defeat, Senior Irving. Conceding will prevent you from further loss."
Dark's voice seeped through the bronze gates, transmitting into Irving's ears.
Irving tightly clutched his trump card before finally putting it back into his card pouch.
But this didn't mean that he had given up.
"If this had been a real street duel, I probably would've already been torn to pieces, wouldn't I?"
Gazing at the pitch-black demon who was looking at him with eyes full of ridicule, Irving couldn't help cracking a bitter smile.
But he soon adjusted his expression.
The duel wasn't over yet.
In street duels, one had to make use of every little factor.
He was currently trapped inside the triple bronze gates. Unless he chose to cease the summoning, he would be a sitting duck at Devimon's mercy.
But once he ceased it, he would have to face off against Dark and even more magical spirits. The situation would only get worse.
Besides, there was a great advantage to staying inside the triple bronze gates—the people outside wouldn't be able to see him.
Moreover, it was impossible for that pitch-black demon to really go in for the kill on him!
This meant that the duel wasn't over yet!
Although it might look shameless, this was what a street duel was!
Use whatever means you could use.
Go to any lengths to reach the victory!
……
Irving made a quick decision.
He gave up the trump card that required a lengthy summoning time and accumulation of energy.
He also gave up his initial arrogance of wanting to 'teach Dark a lesson'.
In the narrow triangular field, against the solitary Devimon, he took out his magical spirit cards and started a battle between a magister and a magical spirit!
……
Outside the triple bronze gates, Dark actually didn't relax his vigilance at all.
When he failed to get any response from Irving, he consecutively summoned all the magical spirits in [Wonderland] whose level was high enough, setting aside three 4-star magical spirits who were left to be summoned last.
In just half a minute, he had summoned all five remaining first-tier magical spirits besides DemiDevimon and Hawlucha at an astonishing speed!
And along with each summon of magical spirit, [Wonderland]'s buff would grow even stronger, increasing the magic energy, attack, and defence stats by 100 points!
With seven magical spirits, it added up to a total of 700 points!
As a result, after a mere half minute, Devimon who was currently inside the triple bronze gates had become a true monster with a magic energy, attack, and defence stats of 2700 points!
Single-target physical (单体物理) ultimate·Deathclaw!
Ranged spell(远程法术) ultimate·Laser Wing!
Multi-target physical (群体物理) ultimate·Thousands of Death Claws!
A displacement ability with a countdown of only 15 seconds·Teleportation!
Devimon, the greatest of all time!
……
"Hahaha!"
Inside the triple bronze gates, Devimon's frenzied laughter had gradually morphed from the eerie cackle of 'kekeke' back to a normal evil laughter.
Yet Mike Irving was drenched in cold sweat.
Before today, he had probably never in a million years imagined that he would be suppressed so badly by a magical spirit.
The narrow space inside the triple bronze gates had become the key factor that obstructed him from using his full ability.
Every magical spirit he summoned was killed in a single blow by Devimon without even the chance to unleash its ultimate skill.
It even destroyed the remains of its kills after effortlessly discovering the Deathrattle type ultimate skill that could offer up corpses as tributes!
He tried to bomb it with a quick attack magic spell card, but against a defence stat as high as 2700 points, it didn't even leave a scratch.
He tried setting up a trap and luring it to take the bait, but was instead caught by it and thrown into his own trap.
If it weren't for the strong armour he was equipped with, he might've become the first magister to be killed by his own trap.
After being caught and thrown into the trap for the second time, the thoroughly battered Irving finally realised his misconception.
→It wasn't that Devimon wasn't capable of dealing with him, but that it deliberately chose not to!
It was impossible for a magical spirit with such high intelligence not to know any measure to restrict its opponent without killing.
Whether it was to tie his hands and feet, confiscate his card pouch, or gag his mouth, any one of those would be an effective measure.
The moment he was incapacitated by those methods, no matter how utterly brazen he was, he would have no choice but to surrender.
But Devimon didn't have the slightest intention to do that.
It was playing; it was having fun; it was enjoying its battle of wits with a magister!
How evil!
……
In fact, Mike Irving had been mistaken.
Devimon wasn't actually enjoying a battle of wits with a magister.
It was merely enjoying the thrill of crushing a magister.
……
Since it was born, (Demi)Devimon had never felt so exhilarated as it did now.
It was as though all of its pent-up frustrations had been vented out through this battle.
Other than not being able to taunt its opponent to the fullest because it couldn't speak, this simply couldn't have been more perfect.
From the bottom of its heart, (Demi)Devimon felt proud of itself for being able to perfectly grasp such an opportunity and rely on its own 'intellect' to bring it under control.
When Irving couldn't hold on any longer and finally retrieved the [Triple Bronze Gates], around ten minutes had already passed.
Dark had already summoned all of his magical spirits, so bored that he was about to start a cat-petting session.
At last, Mike Irving reappeared.
He didn't dare to retrieve his Armor Card, because underneath the soft metal armour, his face had been beaten black and blue!
Devimon who flew out behind him still looked like it hadn't gotten its fill.
Aside from the two of them, nobody else knew what actually happened inside the triple bronze gates.
They only knew that right after coming out, Mike Irving hurriedly admitted his defeat and ran off without even looking back.
He had no choice but to leave, because his magic energy was on the verge of being depleted.
The Armor Card was truly a massive magic energy consumer!
The moment his magic energy was fully depleted, his armour would disappear, and then his battered appearance would be exposed for all to see.
To him, that would be yet another fatal blow.
"Take care, senior!" Dark waved his hand and bid him a very zealous goodbye.
After Devimon turned back to DemiDevimon, it promptly perched down on Dark's shoulder, taking Devimon's credit.
"(*@ο@*) awoo awoo!"
It had a feeling that its little red flowers were going to soar in stock again!
……
"It ended just like that?"
The onlookers who had been waiting outside for ten minutes were all completely dumbfounded.
Other than the exciting duel at the very start, they were stuck staring at the triple bronze gates for almost the whole duration.
So what actually happened inside those bronze gates?
How on earth did Dark Demon win?
Why did Mike Irving admit defeat as soon as he came out?
Just what kind of shenanigans was hidden beneath all this?
It couldn't have been an act, right?
Actor 1: Dark Demon.
Actor 2: Mike Irving.
Actor 3: Devimon?
……
But the duel was already over, and one of the participants had even run away, so they had no excuse to continue watching.
And thus, the onlookers dispersed.
All kinds of speculations spread among the crowd.
What made it all the more incomprehensible was mainly because Irving and Dark didn't even show any kind of enmity between them.
Upon entering the castle, some people even saw Maggie appearing by Irving's side.
So the unreliable rumour of 'Irving asking for a duel after a breakup' also collapsed on itself.
……
But other people's thoughts and speculations wouldn't affect Dark Demon.
After retrieving [Wonderland], Dark told the magical spirits to line up well and return to the castle under the lead of class monitor Dianna.
This afternoon, Dark had accomplished everything he set out to do.
So after communicating with the halfling chefs, he took all of his magical spirits to the cafeteria!
They couldn't have made a more spectacular sight!
Aside from DemiDevimon who often went in and out of the cafeteria, all the other magical spirits had never set foot into the cafeteria so openly before.
They occupied an entire corner of the cafeteria. Using the tableware especially prepared by the halfling chefs, the magical spirits went on to eat various kinds of food and snacks in big mouthfuls, crying out contentedly from time to time.
As time passed by, Dark and the others weren't the only ones watching over them with a warm gaze.
More and more girls drew closer and quietly watched as the magical spirits stuffed themselves, all of their faces turning chubby and round.
