Chapter 322: Dark Demon Has No Regrets
"Come back, Ditto."
Dark raised his magic card and ended the summoning.
Ditto, who had melted into a puddle of liquid, gradually turned into light and passed through the [Six-Pole Light Cage], returning inside its magic card.
With a smile, Dark patted the Ditto who had recovered its original shape on the card.
The one who deserved the biggest credit for making tonight's plan go so smoothly was undoubtedly Ditto!
From transforming into a girl to lure out White to transforming into White to bait Vlad, both of its performances were absolutely perfect.Especially the latter act—it was so challenging that even Dark himself wasn't confident about it.
But Ditto proved itself as a magical spirit with the [Imposter] ability. It was exceptionally talented in regards to imitation.
When playing the role of White, not only did it need to look and act the part, it also needed to match White's dubbing. So to speak, it couldn't afford to make the slightest mistake.
But when it came to dubbing...
Dark was still a little surprised. He really didn't expect that the effect of White's dubbing would be this good.
Thinking about this, Dark glanced up again. The wisp of wind given to him by Professor Silver emitted a faint green light as it shuttled across his golden hair from time to time.
"So it turns out that besides a one-time protection from calamity, the blessing of the Wind Spirit can also be used to hear and transmit sound?"
"Professor Silver can even use it as a surveillance. But that should be a high-level application method."
After a brief pondering, Dark refocused his attention back to the [Six-Pole Light Cage].
Although Vlad had overtly blown himself up, the actual situation still had to be examined.
Given the deceitful nature of vampires, it could perhaps be yet another trick.
Without a host, however, the abilities Vlad could use would be limited. It was impossible for him to evade Professor Cazer's detection this time.
……
Under everyone's gaze, Professor Cazer walked in front of the [Six-Pole Light Cage].
He didn't really find it regrettable that Vlad blew himself up.
In order to prevent Vlad from escaping, they had already decided to exterminate him tonight. His action merely made it happen a little earlier.
Professor Cazer raised his wand and tapped it on the light curtain between the two lightbeams. As he chanted an incantation, a tiny glow lit up on the tip of his wand, sending ripples spreading across the light curtain from the contact point.
Then, the tip of his wand pierced through the glow and entered the light curtain.
Professor Cazer picked up a magic card with his left hand and circulated his magic energy between the magic card and the wand, unleashing the ability of the magic card through the wand.
Halos of light continuously unfurled from the tip of his wand, spreading layer by layer to every corner of the light cage.
About three minutes later, Professor Cazer finally stopped.
Professor Silver asked, "How is it, Cazer?"
Professor Cazer retracted his wand and replied with a smile, "His death is confirmed. But the remains of his soul are still locked inside [Six-Pole Light Cage]. You guys wait a moment."
Saying so, he took out a knuckle-sized glass vial from his card pouch and put it into the light cage to collect the remains.
Dark couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "Professor, do souls also have remains?"
Professor Cazer explained while fiddling with the vial, "That's for sure. Ultimately, both a soul and a body are containers of consciousness, and death, is the ceasing of consciousness. If we bury a corpse in soil, it will decompose in the soil. If we bury the remains of a soul in the wind, it will dissipate in the wind."
Dark had a slight realisation.
Different worlds had different laws.
If he wanted to profoundly comprehend the laws of this world, he had to accurately grasp the paradoxes and digest this understanding.
The nature of magic was idealistic.
The only absolute death was the death of consciousness (mind).
……
Inside the [Six-Pole Light Cage], star-like dots of light emerged under Professor Cazer's spellcasting.
Afterwards, these remains of the soul were gathered, ground into a pile of fine powder, and poured into the small vial.
According to alchemists, the powder ground from the remains of a soul, also known as "Soul Powder(灵魂粉末)", was a very useful material for alchemy.
After transferring all the Soul Powder into the small vial, Professor Cazer sealed the mouth of the vial with a layer of enchantment before putting on the lid.
Then he shook the vial, looked at the glowing powder in front of his eyes, and unexpectedly handed it to Dark Demon. "You accomplished tonight's vampire hunt almost entirely by yourself. Just take this vial of vampire [Soul Powder] as your reward."
Dark reached out to take the vial, his expression slightly moved.
……
Around the same time, inside the tower shrouded under the darkness of night.
In the dorm of astronomy professor Medea Bartholomew, said professor was talking to a beautiful lady with long blood-red hair coiled on top of her head.
The two were wearing pyjamas of the same style, and the curtains replaced with black velvet were tightly drawn so that not a single ray of light could slip through.
It was late at night, but neither of the two equally beautiful ladies felt any sleepiness.
What was placed between the two of them… was not a magic book.
Nor was it an astrolabe for divination.
It was a set of magic chess!
"Say, Medea, why does White like this kind of chess that's very unbalanced?"
The red-haired lady had her cheek propped on her hand. Her gaze kept shifting, her mind clearly not on the chessboard.
Medea grabbed the chance to capture one of her pieces before answering, "Maybe it's because it's fun."
Red-haired lady: "Fun?"
Medea: "Yes, fun."
Red-haired lady: "Sure enough, he's still a child."
Medea: "He is still a child."
Red-haired lady: "He's already twelve years old, it's already the age to start thinking about having children."
Medea: "The times have changed, Leah."
The red-haired lady called "Leah" let out a little sigh. She was about to continue lamenting her feelings about the passage of time when she was abruptly startled, immediately standing up.
Medea asked, "What's wrong?"
With a mysterious smile, Leah took out a glass bottle with a diameter of 13 cm from the low cabinet next to the bookcase and carefully placed it on top of the cabinet.
"What is this?" Medea couldn't help curiously looking over.
She saw that the bottle was filled with some sort of special liquid.
The liquid was transparent, and there were a large number of tiny bubbles floating in it.
Although Medea lived in the same dormitory with Leah, she never violated her privacy.
She wondered, "When did you get this kind of thing?"
"Shh!" Leah held up her index finger, signalling her to keep her voice down before lightly shaking the bottle.
The liquid in the bottle swayed along the shaking of the bottle.
The bubble-like things inside the liquid slowly fused together as they came into contact, gradually merging into one big bubble the size of a fist.
"As I thought!"
Leah fixedly stared at that bubble with an exhilarated expression on her face.
But Medea was thoroughly confused.
She couldn't help asking again, "So, what on earth is this?"
