***Edited by Kronost***
When the bell rang at nine o'clock.
Dark was waiting in an empty classroom on the fifth floor of the castle.
After nearly an hour of hunting, he had a good understanding of the distribution of ghosts in this small area.
There were not many four-star lone ghosts left, and three-star ghosts still had four groups left.
Those four groups were Lake Ghosts that breathe frosty wind, Lizardman Assassins, Wailing Banshee, and Minotaur Dwarfs that held a small axe.
The trickiest of these was undoubtedly Lake Ghosts!
Since DemiDevimon was likely to be frozen by the frosty wind, Dark only let it lure the other three groups.
And he himself was still waiting in the classroom while restoring Eevee's magic energy.
Speaking of magic energy replenishment.
With the strength of normal first-year students, most of the first-year students should have run out of their magic energy reserve at this point.
That is, of course, excluding those who had rich magic energy like Dark and White, or magic energy management experts such as Emma, Sara Swati, who still had a lot of magic energy left.
So the leaderboard at this point in time has basically been frozen.
For example, in the first-year Noble House rankings, Dark has topped the list and cannot be shaken.
In the first-year general ranking, he has also climbed to second place.
The Magister House student who was originally number one gradually fell behind because of insufficient magic energy management ability, and was even surpassed by Emma, Sara and others.
Although Dark didn't care about these, he occasionally checked the rankings of Dianna, Rose, and Pandora.
Among them, Dianna was getting higher and higher in the first-year Noble House rankings, but Rose has fallen out of the list.
As for Pandora-senpai.
She has surpassed the year ranking and was competing with the students of fifth and sixth year in the overall ranking for the championship!
The top twelve places in the overall ranking were almost the top twelve students among the students of all six years of the current Saint Marian Academy.
And she was currently ranked third!
You have to know that she was only halfway through her college life....
"Coming!"
The cold wind blowing from outside the window made Dark realize that DemiDevimon had provoked ghosts that shouldn't be provoked.
He summoned Eevee, and this time, he hid behind the curtains in the back row of the classroom.
"HELP!" X12
This time DemiDevimon also screamed and rushed into the classroom like the last time.
But before it could shout help the thirteenth time, white frost appeared on one of its wings after it was blown by the frosty wind.
It suddenly looked stiff, and its flight speed slowed down.
Then Lizardman Assassins rushed in extremely dexterously. They picked up the knives made of "horns", and lunged at DemiDevimon from behind fiercely.
DemiDevimon let out a miserable scream. Its potential exploded; it leaped a few meters forward and finally reached the window sill.
But when it had just landed on the window sill, piles of small axes flew at it from behind, scaring it to jump over the wall. Countless small axes dangerously flew past its head and disappeared into the night sky.
"Ah!--"
Banshee's wail resounded through the classroom, shaking off countless dust.
...
This time, Dark couldn't even find a chance to escape the classroom, so he had to bite the bullet and use [Lust Ⅲ], and then use "precision throw" to throw Eevee into the group of ghosts.
But the effect of [Lust Ⅲ] this time was better than last time.
Both the Lake Ghosts and Banshee stopped their attacks because of this, and made frequent "moaning" noises.
The power of Umbreon, who had completed evolution in the air, burst out instantly when it found its master after it landed.
Darkness beyond blackest pitch, deeper than the deepest night! Lord of Darkness, radiant upon the Sea of Chaos, I call upon thee, swear myself to thee! Let the fools who stand before us be destroyed by the power you and I possess!
——[Dark Pulse]!
...
"Three-star Lake Ghosts, three-star Lizardman Assassin, three-star Howling Banshee, and the three-star Minotaur Dwarfs—there were a total of 76 of them. With 30 credits each, I made 2280 credits this time, which more than doubled my score!"
"However, it now appears that three-star ghosts are already the limit of Umbreon, and it is dangerous to move to the next level."
"And as the ghosts are getting fewer and fewer, it should be difficult to find a suitable place for group annihilation by half past ten."
"Although it's only early nine o'clock, it seems that this is the highest credit score I can get in one wave today."
Dark hid behind the curtain and quickly estimated.
Prior to this, his new credits barely exceeded 2000. After this wave, he should have 4300 credits. If he hurried up and used the remaining time in [Lust Ⅲ], he may still reach another new height.
Because of his prior experience, he directly left DemiDevimon to pick up the candies this time and quickly rushed to the next hunting spot.
He already knew the locations of the remaining four-star ghosts.
So it was time to harvest another wave!
...
It was not until Dark's credits were increased to 4500 that he took the degraded little Eevee back to the magic card.
With the completion of the six-pointed star magic circle, Dark gently rubbed Eevee-chan's belly to replenish her magic energy as soon as possible.
"Vee~"
Next, he wanted to continue to the higher floors to take a look.
There was actually another way to deal with ghosts.
If they were not provoked, as long as one gave them some candies, one would be able to walk past them without being attacked.
Dark gave out candies all the way, from the fifth floor to the sixth floor, to the seventh floor, and finally to the eighth floor.
At this point, he was already extremely cautious, and basically only walked to the places where a lot of candies were gathered.
Senior students didn't seem to want to pick up candies after eliminating the ghosts, leaving many candies on the ground. The industrious and simple Dark had no choice but to open the sack and enjoy the feeling of Mario picking up gold coins.
As the candy sack was getting bigger and bigger, it became harder and harder for Dark to carry it any longer. So he could only drag it away on the ground.
At about 9:30, DemiDevimon, who was investigating ahead, suddenly screamed and fled back.
Dark's expression dropped as he saw a large group of bats swarming behind DemiDevimon!
He hurriedly dragged the candy sack into a small corridor near him, and only after DemiDevimon rushed past with the bat swarm did he find a chance to call it back to the sorting card and summon it again.
"What did you do?" Dark asked in a low voice.
DemiDevimon said breathlessly, "They summoned a blood sucking magic beast!"
...
Located in the middle of the eighth floor of the castle.
A few senior students surrounded the hidden boss, Vampire Count, on the eighth floor with excitement!
In order to trigger it, this group of senior students worked hard all night to trigger and kill all the eight hidden ghosts located in the eight corners of the eighth floor. Only then did they successfully obtain eight summoning stones and summon the vampire Count on the blood altar.
As the second most popular Boss-level ghost in the masquerade party, Vampire Count could not only provide a lot of credits, but there was also a chance for it to drop the core materials related to it.
For example - Vampire Fang!
