The second round had already passed amid the struggle between both sides' magical spirits.

"Lunamon" was forced backward by the terrifying force that shot toward it, staggering several steps back.

"Shadow Leech" was also sent flying backward by that slap.

Both sides' magic power decreased as a result.

"Shadow Leech, Bug Siphon!"

The instant Victor Gaude's voice rang out, "Shadow Leech" touched the ground and vanished soundlessly, as if sinking into water.

Before "Lunamon" could even adjust its stance, "Shadow Leech," having circled through the shadows, burrowed out from beneath its feet and sank its teeth into its paw!

This Bug-type Ultimate Move could deal damage while absorbing the opponent's life force or magic power.

"Lunamon's" magic power began to plummet at a visible rate.

Meanwhile, "Shadow Leech's" magic power rapidly refilled.

Once its magic power exceeded its base limit, its Ultimate Move, Split, triggered automatically, splitting off a palm-sized "Leech" from its body.

That "Leech" had only 100 magic power, with 0 attack and 0 defense, but it could exist as an independent entity, making it an excellent sacrifice.

The "Leeches" burrowed into the shadows as soon as they split off, scattering like schools of fry and vanishing from sight.

Every "Leech" possessed the Ultimate Move commonly mastered by shadow creatures—Shadow Dive—which ensured their survival to the greatest extent possible.

"Lunamon" suddenly cried out in pain and forcefully lifted its leg, trying to break free from "Shadow Leech's" bite.

However, when "Shadow Leech" used its Ultimate Move, Bug Siphon, the suction it generated was incredibly powerful. It stuck fast to "Lunamon's" foot, making it impossible to lift even an inch.

Moreover, as its magic power was drained away, waves of weakness washed over it. "Lunamon's" entire body went limp, leaving it unable to exert any strength and only able to let "Shadow Leech" continue feeding.
