Chapter 612 The darkness strikes again!

A powerful force gathered in Sanyi's fist. Seeing the opponent rushing towards his field, Wanzhang Muzhun, who was unwilling to lose, quickly opened a cover card in the backcourt.

"Activate the quick attack magic card, shrink!"

Activating a quick-play magic card that even Kaiba Seto often uses, Manjomuzu shouted loudly, "The effect of this card is that you can activate it by targeting a face-up monster on the field, and that monster's original ATK is halved until the end of the turn!"

"Now, I'm going to target Phantom Hero Trinity with my effect and halve this monster's attack power!"

"Well, I see, this is your strategy!" He nodded with a smile, and Ed also opened a cover card on his backfield, "Counter Trap Card Activated, God's Declaration!"

"The effect of this card is that by paying half of your life points, when your opponent's Spell or Trap Card is activated, you can negate that activation and destroy it!"

"Now, I will pay half of my life points and then negate the Quick-Play Magic Card, Shrink!"

Aide LP4000＞2000

(Note: There is no timing, counter-trap cards are not expensive at the moment!)

Just as Yuki Judai said, Ed really blocked the universal card God's Declaration in his backcourt. On the duel arena, seeing that his quick-attack magic card was invalidated, Wanzhang Muzhun's face immediately became visibly ugly.

"Tsk! So you had expected something like this to happen?"

He quickly opened another covered card on his backcourt, and said unyieldingly: "In that case, I will continue to open another card on the backcourt!"

"Trap card activated, physical strength enhancer Super Z!"

"The effect of this card is that if you take more than 2000 points of battle damage, you can activate it during the damage calculation and recover 4000 points of life!"

Wanzhangmu accurate LP2800>6800

“Hehe, I’m so sorry, Senior Ed!” Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Wanzhangmuzhun laughed on the spot, “I remember you said just now that the effect of the Magic Bell Cave is also effective on you. Even if you destroyed the Arc Light Brave Dragon on my field, it can only cause damage to me once, so I’m afraid you can’t defeat me this round!”

"Oh? It's a card that increases your physical strength? If that's the case, I'll add fuel to the fire!"

Raising his hand and opening another face-up card on his field, Ed said with a sinister smile: "Quick Attack Magic Card Activated, Half Seal!"

"This card's effect is to target a face-up monster on the field, and halve that monster's attack power until the end of the turn, and then that monster cannot be destroyed by attacks!"

"And my target is naturally the Arclight Brave Dragon!"

Arclight Brave Dragon attack power 2400>1200

"Nani?"

He never expected that Ed actually had such a card in his backcourt. Seeing that the attack was about to be settled, Wanzhang hurriedly opened the third card in his backcourt in a hurry.

"Activate the trap card, damage and slim down!"

"The effect of this card is that all the damage you receive this round is halved!"

"Hehe, I'm so sorry, Senior Ed, your wish has failed again!"

"Oh? Is that really the case?" Not paying attention to Wanzhang Muzhun's provocation, Ed sneered indifferently. At this time, the attack of Phantom Hero Trio also hit Arclight Brave Dragon.

Bang bang bang!

Three shock waves hit the Arclight Brave Dragon in no particular order. Because it could not be destroyed by the battle, the former took the three heavy blows head-on.

Wanzhangmu accurate LP6800>350

"What?" Looking at his remaining 350 health points in astonishment, Wanzhang Muzhun could not help but ask a soul-searching question, "What the hell is going on? Normally, I shouldn't have only this few health points left!"

"Hehe, sorry, Jun Jun, the damage of this wave of attacks is not calculated like this!" With a sinister smile, he showed a card that popped out of the cemetery to Wanzhang Muzhun, and explained proudly, "Before the attack, I activated the special effect of the dark demon clan? Kilfa Demon in the cemetery."

(Note: The original effect of this card is a free activation effect in the graveyard, indicating that the game has used this card many times and did not explain it before the battle is resolved.)

This is a real card!

"While this card is in the Graveyard, I can target a face-up monster on the field with its effect and equip it to that monster as an Equip Card that reduces its ATK by 500 points."

"After using Half Seal on your Arclight Brave Dragon, I equipped this card on the former, so the final attack power of Arclight Brave Dragon is 700 points. Even if the damage is halved, facing the attack of three people, the actual value of the battle damage you will receive each time should be 2150 points!"

Wanzhang's eyesight: "!!!"

What the hell!

Digging holes without saying anything!

What an insidious guy!

As far as martial ethics are concerned, this guy Ed seems to be even worse than Yuki Judai!

Should I say~he is worthy of being another direct disciple of the Duel King Li Youfeng?

This insidious and cunning dueling style really embodies the true essence of the underworld dueling style!

"Tsk! Even so, I still have 350 health points left, so this round..."

"Oh, Jun-kun, you seem to have forgotten something!"

With a smile on his face, Ed pointed at the Alchemist's Cauldron, a continuous magic card on his backfield, and said with a grin, "Alchemist's Cauldron can gain a magic counter in each of my preparation phases, and this card now has two magic counters, so according to the effect of this card, you will receive 600 points of effect damage!"

"Oh! Damn it, I forgot about this!" He stared in amazement at a fireball from the perpetual magic card that was coming towards him, and Wanzhangmujun revealed a roar on the spot.

The fireball knocked Wanzhangmuzhun directly to the ground, and the duel was decided because the former's health points were reduced to zero.

Wanzhangmu accurate LP350>0

"Wow~ so strong! Is this the strength of a world champion?" Wanzhangmuzhun thought that his strength was enough to dominate the Duel Academy. Unfortunately, he didn't expect that Ed would teach him a lesson so soon.

"Jun Jun, don't be too discouraged. You are very strong. The reason why you lost to me is just because of your lack of experience." Instead of being complacent about winning the duel, Ed walked up to Wanzhang Muzhun and stretched out his hand.

"Senior Ed~!"

Because of Ed's gentlemanly behavior, Wanzhang Muzhun was undoubtedly deeply moved. He held Ed's hand and climbed up from the ground. Wanzhang Muzhun bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for your guidance. This duel has benefited me a lot!"

"Haha, you're welcome. It's the seniors' duty to teach the juniors!"

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something. Finally reacting, Ed suddenly smiled and made a victory gesture to Wanzhang Muzhun.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you just now! I won. It was such a pleasant duel!"

Wanzhang's eyesight: "..."

"Fuck, give me back the feeling I had before!"

Hearing these extremely familiar words, Wanzhangmuzhun showed his roar again without any surprise.

Watching Ed walk off the stage with a big laugh, Wanzhangmuzhun couldn't help but think to himself, "Ed Phoenix, this guy is just as evil as Yuki Judai!"

After losing to Ed Phoenix in the exhibition match, the structure of Duel Academy changed slightly.

Ed Phoenix, who joined the Duel Academy as a transfer student, became the strongest duelist in the third grade of the academy. Together with Tenjouin Fubuki who failed a grade, the face of these students who had just been promoted to the third grade was undoubtedly temporarily saved as seniors.

Although they lost in the exhibition match, these second-year students completely crushed the third-year students in terms of comprehensive strength and can be regarded as the strongest class beyond the normal level.

If it weren't for Ed's joining, this third grade class would probably have become the most "miserable" class in the history of Duel Academy.

As the top duelists in the second year, Manjomujin, Yuki Judai, Tenjouin Asuka and Misawa Daichi undoubtedly put great pressure on the first year, so much so that the mentors who took over the first year also began to involuntarily.

Of course, the final consequences will naturally be suffered by the freshmen who have just enrolled.

M Country Duel Academy.

"Principal Mackenzie, you called me?"

"Yes, that's right, Amon Garam! You have been selected as the representative of the Duel Academy. In half a month, you will set off with them to the Sakura Country Duel Academy for a one-month exchange study."

Sitting in front of the principal's desk, a gloomy middle-aged man looked at the students in front of him indifferently, with his hands with his fingers crossed under his nose. Coupled with his gloomy and cold attitude, he undoubtedly gave people a feeling of calmness and even a little fear.

Refer to this picture!

"What? Are you going to the Sakura Country Duel Academy for exchange and study?" Amon frowned, feeling quite disdainful of the duelists from the Sakura Country.

Turning his gaze towards the other students sitting in the principal's office, Amon showed a look of surprise on his face, "What? It's you?"

A trace of doubt flashed across his eyes, and then Amon turned his gaze back to Principal Mackenzie and asked doubtfully: "Principal, please forgive me for being blunt, but are you making a big fuss by doing this?"

Principal Mackenzie smiled slightly, exuding an indescribable dangerous aura. He sneered, "Oh? Making a fuss out of nothing? No, I don't think so!"

Professor Mackenzie slowly stood up from his seat and nodded to a burly figure dressed as a teacher sitting by the wall and said, "Let me introduce you. This is the teacher leading your trip to the Duel Academy in Sakura Country, Professor Cobra!"

"As for the exchange students this time, let me briefly introduce them to you!"

"First, the Rainbow Emissary—John Andersen!"

"Flame Mercenary—Okens O'Brien!"

"Cursed Eyes—Jim Crocodile Coco!"

"The last one to come is the sage—Amon Garam!"

"Hello, I'm Professor Cobra, you can also call me Professor Cobra!" After greeting the students present, Professor Cobra turned his attention to Principal Mackenzie.

"Principal, as far as I know, the number of participants in each exchange student competition is usually kept at five, so are we still missing a student?"

"Haha, you don't have to worry about that!" Shaking his head slightly, Principal Mackenzie turned his gaze to John and others, "The other exchange student will arrive later and will not affect our exchange activities this time!"

"Everyone here is the elite of our M Country Duel Academy. In order to ensure this exchange activity, I will also follow everyone to the Sakura Country Duel Academy!"

"Before that, I hope everyone can adjust their status and win more honors for our M Country Duel Academy!"

After explaining the relevant matters of the exchange activities to John and others, everyone including Professor Cobra left the principal's office.

However, at the moment when the door of the principal's office closed, a mysterious figure quietly appeared behind the door.

This mysterious man was wearing a black windbreaker and a black ghost mask on his face, making it impossible to see his true face. He stood there quietly like a ghost, and there seemed to be no breath of life around him.

Principal Mackenzie's eyes narrowed slightly, his tone remained calm, but revealed a hint of majesty: "Humph, you're finally here. To be honest, I thought you would violate our contract, Darkness!"

Hearing this name, the black-clothed man raised a sinister smile, and a strong dark power emanated from his body. His voice was even deeper and hoarse: "Haha, Principal Mackenzie, you'd better not confuse me with people like you! No, maybe I shouldn't call you a human, right, Devil of Sorrow?!"

Principal Mackenzie's face slightly changed at the words of the man in black, but he quickly regained his composure: "Darkness, don't forget the agreement between us. You should know that the Pharaoh still stays in this world for some unknown reason. As far as this issue is concerned, we both have a common enemy, so as long as you keep your promise, we will not have any conflict before the Pharaoh is eliminated."

The man in black laughed contemptuously: "Haha, destroy the Pharaoh? No, my target is not the living dead! Besides, Demon of Sorrow, do you really think I care about that agreement? However, since you mentioned the agreement between us, I don’t want to break it for the time being. However, if you dare to play any tricks…"

The black-clothed man's words were full of threats, making the atmosphere in the whole room tense. Principal Mackenzie stared at him closely, with a barely perceptible murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
