His original intention was to settle this match within two moves.

The only way he could prevent Dark from unleashing a secret hand he knew nothing about was to instantly defeat him by catching him off guard.

But it was too late now.

While Irving was undergoing his transformation, Dark had successfully summoned DemiDevimon and was already preparing to activate [Pride Ⅲ].

One of [Wonderland]'s buffs was that the summoning time of all magical spirits belonging to it would be reduced by 1 second.

"Kekeke!"

DemiDevimon's frenzied cackle reverberated through the air.

It could already tell who the protagonist of the day would be.

DemiDevimon would surely stand at the top!

……

"In the name of Dark Demon, magic summon!"

Amidst DemiDevimon's frenzied laughter, Dark successfully activated [Pride Ⅲ].

In an instant, a dazzling light burst out from the surface of [Pride Ⅲ].

DemiDevimon actively rushed towards that beam of light. The skull mark on its forehead quickly vanished, replaced by the symbol of [Pride].

The dark golden light radiating from [Pride Ⅲ] was instantly absorbed by the symbol before suddenly bursting out again.

With the symbol of [Pride] at the core, DemiDevimon's body gradually lit up, wrapped inside a ball of dark golden light.

"Hoooo!"

Along with a ferocious cry, the ball of light was split open, and a pair of ragged bat wings rushed out ragingly!

A demon with two sharp horns opened its scarlet glowing eyes, revealing the almost cruel pride within those glaring rays of light.

It shattered the ball of light with a spread of its arms, exposing the sturdy and muscular figure underneath the tight black clothing to the eyes of countless people.

The absolute, oppressive darkness exuded by Devimon, whom Dark had never summoned in public before, roused the fear in people's hearts.

Its head was covered by a mask, leaving only the pale skin around its mouth uncovered. There was a scarlet bat-like mark across its chest and several black leather belts tied around its waist. The long straight arms that reached below its knees were equipped with retractable forearms and huge, sharp deadly claws.

From head to toe, it was simply a symbol of evil!

With this appearance, if it showed up in front of the holy church, it would definitely become a target of expulsion!

But this was Saint Marian Academy—a Magic Academy with a more comprehensive view on light and darkness!

……

"I couldn't prevent him from summoning it!"

After completing his transformation, Irving's heart immediately sank upon turning his head and seeing the startlingly imposing Devimon.

Another second-tier magical spirit meant more ultimate skills.

If they were outside of the academy, he would've surely already charged forward, relying on the strength gained after the transformation to directly attack Dark.

But inside the academy, the ruleless street duel was ultimately restricted by an unspoken rule.

He couldn't personally attack the duelist. He could only make use of the transformation to defend himself and dodge the opponent's attacks.

Gritting his teeth, Irving took out his fourth magic card.

At this time, not only did he have to face off against Devimon, he also had to deal with Meowth who had bypassed the wall of wind and Hawlucha who was once again flying his way.

His strategy of not summoning magical spirits at the start had resulted in a bitter pill to swallow.

But he wasn't at his wit's end yet.

As a third year student who had accumulated plenty of experience, he still had cards to play even at this moment.

……

"Death claws!"

Dark's command resounded through the air.

Devimon, who was immersed in the attention of the crowd, immediately snapped back to its senses. Standing in place, it raised both of its hands to aim at Irving. Those arms elongated in an instant, clawing towards Irving's body!

"Magic summon!"

At a critical time, Irving finished summoning his fourth magic card.

The light emitted from the magic card quickly materialised in the air.

Boom!

A huge bronze gate landed with a heavy thump, blocking Devimon's Deathclaw.

Immediately afterwards, the second bronze gate consecutively landed with a bang, blocking Meowth and Hawlucha's attacks.

Boom!

The third and last bronze gate joined the first two bronze gates to form a perfectly seamless triangle, guarding Irving inside it!

Irving leaned against one of the bronze gates, slightly out of breath.

Right before the bronze gates formed an enclosure, he saw that the audience was engulfed in some kind of shock.

His Armor Card and Triple Bronze Gates (三重青铜门) certainly couldn't have caused that kind of reaction, so it could only be evoked by Dark's Devimon!

That Devimon truly gave off a terrifying aura. It didn't seem like a second-tier magical spirit at all.

If it were a normal duel, he most probably wouldn't have a better way to deal with this magical spirit other than summoning a magical spirit with a higher star ranking.

But they were currently in a street duel.

The outcome of a street duel was determined by the survival of the duelist.

Regardless of what kind of magical spirit the opponent summoned, as long as he could put a dagger to his opponent's neck, he would be able to clench the victory!

Irving heaved a small sigh. He originally didn't want to use this particular magic card.

As someone who could become one of the top students in the third year, Irving naturally had his own trump card.

The reason why he didn't use this magic card from the start was because it took a longer time to summon!

But with the protection of the triple bronze gates in place, he would now have enough time to spare.

As long as he could successfully summon his trump card, he could instantly turn the tide around!

"Teleportation."

But just as he was about to start the summon, the sound of Dark's clear incantation came from behind his ears.

Then a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him.

Almost instinctively, he rolled over and jumped up. With a body that had become as nimble as a monkey due to the aid of the full body armour, he actually managed to dodge Devimon's chokehold!

But Devimon, who silently appeared within the enclosure of the triple bronze gates, merely put on a grin with a trace of cruelty.

It flew in mid-air, and the way it looked down on Irving was as if he was a rabbit who had nowhere to escape!

Indeed—he had nowhere to escape!

Irving's triple bronze gates was akin to a cage; he had locked himself in!

The only way out was up.

But the moment the triple bronze gates formed an enclosure, a layer of invisible barrier had actually emerged around it.
