Location- Sky Blossom City, Card stadium, Arena no.2

"Good to know that you still remember the bet Wyatt, I thought the concussion from the beating I gave you earlier might have given you selective memory loss. And don't you worry about me. I have already prepared a big office space for my big sis Susan. She is going to love working with me. " Corey quickly got over the loss and showcased an unwavering fighting spirit. 

"If your cards are also so so like your physique then you better think of using that big office space for something else. As I am going to win the duel and a maid for my card boutique." With my new gains in the afternoon, I had a lot of confidence that I would win against Corey. And that confidence made me say a few cocky dialogues. 

"Your physique is so so, you're lucky that I am not able to unleash the complete power of my physique otherwise you would not have been able to win the previous battle so easily. Also rather than recruiting a new maid for your card boutique, I believe you should be looking for a new manager as your current manager will be getting a new and better job after this match." Corey did not unleash the full power of her physique as she did not know how this world would react to demonic creatures and anything belonging to them.

Corey only released the power of the demonic core which could be closely related to similar skill cards. For example, her true form could easily be mistaken for the Beast soul possession card so she did not mind revealing it but the core powers surrounding her physique were demonic skills. She has heard that in this world evil and dark card apprentices are hunted by some righteous and religious groups endlessly. 

Not having enough information Corey did not want to divulge anything about her and her relation with demons. Corey was so cautious about this matter that she did not ask about demons, demonic arts and demonic powers to her grandfather. As she did not want her grandfather to be implicated trying to help her. Unless she finally understands how demonic arts are treated in this world Corey planned to keep her demonic core a secret from her friends and family. 

"Blah Blah, yep I was lucky that you were unable to unleash the full power of your physique," I said sarcastically. I did not take Corey for a sore loser. Would you believe someone who lost to you said they lost to you because they did not give their all? 

"You…!" Seeing me be sarcastic Corey was irritated and yelled and activated a card " Organ Armament - Organ tail" 

As Corey activated the card Organ Armament - tail, I saw the crocodile tail at the back of Corey detach and then float in the air and hover in front of corey. 

"Organ Armament - Armament Sword" Seeing the detached tail Corey yelled once again. With her yell hovering tail transformed into a 2-meter long heavy sword. 

Getting hold of the tail transformed 2-meter long heavy sword Corey slashed it in the air and said," it's been a long time partner, did you miss me." 

As if the tail transformed armament could understand Corey's words it started glowing red hot with varying intensity and the red hot glow would flicker as if it was greeting its master. The sight was very weird to see. That's a lot coming from a guy who grew a pair of arms and a head from his body. 

"Red tail, Nether terrain" having greeted each other, Corey carried the sword and jumped in the air only to stick the sword in the arena floor as she landed. This move was very similar to the previous one where Corey stuck her tail into the arena floor but unlike last time where the arena floor converted to magma as it spread slowly this time the whole arena cracked with tremors spreading throughout the arena and molten magma could be seen in the cracks. 

"..." I skillfully avoided the tremors and the cracks as I watched Corey with alert from a safe distance. 

"Skeleton soldiers - arise" with Corey's command Skeleton soldiers raised from within the magma filling the cracks. The skeleton soldiers were about 60 to 70 in numbers. 

"Skeleton soldiers? Aren't you looking down on me too much? Was my beating earlier not enough?" What was Corey thinking by summoning a bunch of skeleton soldiers? Did she think she could defeat me by adding a few fragile skeletons on her side? 

"Skeleton Gate formation," I thought Corey had summoned the skeleton to fight me but no she did not instead she ordered the skeletons to combine and form the skeleton gate. Following Corey's command, the skeletons gathered together and started to disassemble each other for various bone parts and then used these bone parts to put together and form a Skeleton Gate. It seemed like she was building a dimensional door using the skeletons to summon something stronger. 

It seems Corey had not underestimated me but she took my capabilities way too seriously and started to prepare for her ultimate move. What happened to defeat me in every possible way? Did she change her mind? I guess now she is aiming to win the duel rather than challenge me on every level. But still, how could I let her do as she pleases. 

"Drones, destroy Skeleton Gate formation," I ordered the floating heads and arms to sabotage the gate that the skeletons were building. But as the floating hands and heads moved towards the gate magma from the cracks started to overflow. Without me noticing. When did the magma fill the cracks to overflow? 

I turned to see that while I was busy deducing what the skeletons were up to Corey had once again stuck her tail sword into the almost destroyed arena floor and had manipulated the magma to reach the surface of the arena, filling the entire arena with magma.
