Chapter 323: Dark Demon and Duel Obsession
The night was already late. It wasn't exactly a good time to go into details.
Dark Demon and Sarah Silver continued to walk on.
It wasn't long before the two reached the tower of Noble House.
The eyes of the Feathered Serpent golem had opened at some point, its serpent pupils reflecting the moon in the sky.
Upon exchanging a glance with Professor Silver, the Feathered Serpent golem closed its eyes once again.
Opening the gate of the tower without a hindrance, Dark looked back at Professor Silver and said, "Good night, professor."Professor Silver replied to him, "Good night."
……
The common room after the curfew was quiet and deserted.
After Dark stepped inside, the gate behind him automatically closed.
The magic lamp on the wall and the flame in the fireplace lit up one after another, as if expressing their welcome.
There was a slight change in Dark's expression—he suddenly wanted to sit in this empty common room for a while.
He casually summoned a few 1-star magical spirits and sat around the fireplace together with them for about half an hour.
It wasn't until both his mind and body became warm that he contentedly took the magical spirits back to the dormitory.
Upon entering his dormitory, he activated [Wonderland] and then summoned the other magical spirits one by one.
As the space in his dorm was gradually filled out, the warmth in his heart simultaneously filled up and overflowed.
At last, the sweat on his back could also quietly seep out.
In fact, although he appeared calm and composed in tonight's hunt, only he knew just how nervous he had been, especially during his solo confrontation with Vlad the Vampire in the latter half.
After all, his opponent was a real vampire!
A demon with mysterious skills and not a single qualm about killing!
Even with the blessing of the Wind Spirit and the backup of two professors, there was always the probability of "what if".
If he accidentally messed up, then Robert would be in danger!
Fortunately, everything went very smoothly.
Dark heaved out a loud sigh, then took out a change of clothes and walked into the bathroom.
He turned on the water to fill up the bathtub before taking a shower.
Once he finished showering, he soaked his entire body in the bathtub.
As the hot water slowly submerged his body, it relaxed the muscles and tendons in his limbs.
Dark couldn't resist the drowsiness that hit him like a landslide. Once his heavy eyelids fell shut, it was difficult to open them again.
His breathing gradually stabilised.
……
It was already six o'clock in the morning when he woke up again, courtesy of his biological clock.
Dark slowly sat up from his bed, looked down at his body that was neatly dressed in pyjamas, and wondered how he had gotten to bed.
"Mi~ (>^ω^<)"
Sylveon waved its ribbon-like feelers as if asking for credit, trying to make Dark forget the mistake it made on Valentine's Day by clinging to him.
But in fact, Dark had completely forgotten about it a long time ago...
He dotingly stroked the soft fur on Sylveon's head, unconsciously letting out a smile.
A new day had come again.
……
The vampire hunt didn't cause much disturbance in the academy.
It was a wise choice to set the hunting time after the curfew.
Although there were some students who noticed the peculiarity in the castle, the curfew in place would make them consider twice before going out to investigate it.
So in the end, no one managed to find out the truth of the matter.
And the people involved in the incident would certainly not divulge it.
On the next day, which was a Friday, there were only two classes. One was the duelling class and the other was magic beast class.
In the duelling class, Professor Pavar Jones lectured about the theoretical knowledge related to duelling.
Dark had long finished learning about this part by himself, so he spent most of his time observing Robert.
In a sense, Robert should actually be regarded as a "patient".
But after observing him during the class, Dark found that Robert hadn't really changed.
The changes Vlad had brought to him was the result of subtle influence. It was done through guidance instead of forced brainwashing.
Therefore, Vlad's departure didn't immediately whip Robert back to his original self.
This was a good thing.
Moreover, there should be another greater gain for Robert.
The four magic cards left behind by Vlad were still in his hands.
For the time being, the professors hadn't thought to confiscate these magic cards.
This meant that Robert successfully bypassed the school rules and effortlessly obtained four extremely powerful magic cards!
Among those cards, the value of the arcana force card that could summon [Vampire Count] was even more inestimable.
It was like he picked up a lottery ticket that ended up winning one hundred million...
Unless the professors suddenly remembered about the cards and confiscated them one day, he really made a huge profit!
But as of now, Robert had yet to realise his good fortune. His attention was focused on another place.
"White."
Tapping the tip of his pen on the last word, Robert turned to White and whispered, "Look, do you think my prophecy has been fulfilled?"
"Prophecy?"
White looked at his notebook and read, "Thy fate is the fate of a pawn. Death shall come as the pawn perishes…"
……
At the same time, Dark also recalled this prophecy.
He opened his notebook and wrote down the prophecy, unable to hold back his astonishment.
"The "pawn" mentioned by Professor Medea in this prophecy coincides with the fact that Robert was parasitized by Vlad."
"A pawn is like a puppet, and Robert had indeed become Vlad's puppet."
"In the situation at that time, Robert might've really died if there had been any mistake."
"So, is it a real prophecy, or is it a mere coincidence?"
……
Although Professor Medea repeatedly emphasised that what she said at that time were not prophecies, the moment one of them came true, one couldn't help but feel that the others would also be true, thus sinking into a spiral of thoughts.
Perhaps, this was the power of a fortune-teller.
