Chapter 93 Dark Demon Sneaks Alone
***Edited by Kronost***
Dark, having successfully separated from Dianna and Rose, walked alone in the dark corner of the castle.
The farther away from the class area, the fewer students there would be.
And the seniors usually went straight to the higher floors, where there were more ghosts with higher stars!
Therefore, the no-man’s land on the second and third floors of the castle would be the most suitable place for the students of lower years to hunt ghosts.
But Dark found himself underestimating the eerie horror of the castle.
It was late autumn, and the temperature had dropped sharply, besides the occasional cold night wind blowing in from time to time made people shiver.
Dark clasped his hands and blew out hot breath to warm his hands. He couldn't but summon his familiar spirit - DemiDevimon!
"Are you my master?"
"Yes, I am."
"Eh eh eh?"
Seeing that its master, who had never answered before, responded in a very ordinary way, DemiDevimon suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not right, and then its face instantly dropped.
"Da, da, da..."
The crisp footsteps echoed in the silent castle, and gradually pulled closer as time passed.
DemiDevimon stared tremblingly at the shadow in the corner ahead.
A Jack Pumpkin with a muscular body slowly came into view; its empty pumpkin head was burning like a dim candle.
"Jack!"
Jack Pumpkin let out a low growl, and his dark muscles swelled instantly. When it saw Dark, it accelerated!
...
"Hell no!"
DemiDevimon let out a scream of fear, and in an instant the thought of escape emerged.
But just when that idea had taken shape, a dark golden ball of light with a long tail got into the back of its head.
DemiDevimon, who was still timid just now, condensed its pupils in an instant, and its eyes towards the Jack Pumpkin was full of deep contempt and disdain.
"A mere bottom feeder of hell actually dares to roar in front of this lord?"
DemiDevimon, who covered itself with its wings like a cloak, actually showed the charm of a blood-sucking magic beast.
DemiDevimon looked down at Jack Pumpkin and shot out three shots [Demi Dart] when it started to run forward!
"Die!"
...
"Puff!"
One of the syringes pierced into the muscle of Jack Pumpking's left shoulder, but the other two syringes missed.
Jack Pumpkin dodged the moment it felt the threat. It lowered its body after getting shot in the shoulder, and then its leg muscles tightened and its power burst out in an instant.
"Woosh!"
It actually jumped up.
It directly crossed the distance between it and DemiDevimon, and fiercely caught the flying DemiDevimon with its devilish claw!
"Jack!"
As if the space was torn apart.
Three dark claw shadows appeared in the air!
However, DemiDevimon, who maintained absolute arrogance from the beginning to the end, did not take a step back. It suddenly disappeared from the air!
"Jack?"
When Jack Pumpkin reacted again, the shark head syringe had pierced the relatively fragile pumpkin and hit the candle in the pumpkin's heart!
"Puff!"
The candle flame went out.
The corpse of Jack pumpkin falling from the air gradually turned into a spark, leaving only a small piece of beautifully packaged pumpkin pie floating in the air.
Dark walked over from behind and grabbed the piece of pumpkin pie.
[Credits + 30]
"Sure enough, a three-star ghost?"
Dark carefully peeled off the foil packaging of the pumpkin pie, put the wrapping paper away, and threw the pumpkin pie to DemiDevimon.
"Slap!"
DemiDevimon flapped its wings to knock away the pumpkin pie.
"I am DemiDevimon, I don't eat free food!"
(ー. ー!)
...
"People who are too arrogant but don't have the ability to match their arrogance, they end up looking very stupid."
Dark summed up the event silently.
And at the same time drew a lesson from it.
In the battle with Jack Pumpkin just now, DemiDevimon didn’t want to dodge the attack because of its pride.
Thanks to Dark’s timely use of the sorting card to recall it, it escaped the almost deadly claw of the three-star [Jack Pumpkin]!
Otherwise, DemiDevimon would have been forced back to the sorting card because of its injury and would have to wait for recovery.
"But why is this Jack Pumpkin different from the previous ones?"
Thinking back to the Jack Pumpkin he had encountered with Dianna and Rose, Dark felt a little strange.
The normal Jack Pumpkin should obviously be a little skinny ghost with a pumpkin head. At most, it would hold a small axe, and that axe would not be sharp at all.
But what the hell was that muscle pumpkin I just killed?
Professor Cazer shouldn't have such a bad sense, right?
Thinking about it, Dark's footsteps suddenly stiffened.
He finally remembered that when he was working hard to correct the first-year students’ arithmetic homework, the person who was called by Professor Cazer to help make ghosts was the little fairy named "Lily"!
Dark suddenly had an ominous premonition.
...
With this strong ominous feeling, Dark turned towards an idle classroom covered with dust.
In theory, when placing ghosts, professors would always hide aggressive ghosts indoors or in a hidden corner.
The ghosts that appeared in corridors to scare the students all tended to be funny and weak ones.
If he wanted to earn credits faster, he must look for these hidden ghosts with extra bonus points.
Only when he stepped into the shadows could he harvest the treasure.
"Bang!"
The two doors at the front and back of the classroom closed suddenly.
The windows on the other side of the class were blown open by a strong wind, and bright red blood dripped from the tattered curtains, gradually staining them red.
Dark held his breath, and his right hand was already inside the card pouch.
DemiDevimon still maintained the state of [Pride Ⅰ], flying in the air with its chin high.
"Woo!"
Another gust of wind blew in.
Bright moonlight shone through the gaps of the blown curtains, and a ray of light filled the dark classroom.
Dark gritted his teeth sharply.
After the curtains were blown away, a monster with a human head and a bird body stood motionless on the window rail.
In its big mouth with two fangs, there was a bloody severed hand!
Although this was actually unlikely to be a real hand, Dark couldn't but shudder.
"Harpy!"
...
...
Battle in 10 seconds after meeting
The proud DemiDevimon seemed to have felt humiliated because of Dark’s help in its previous battle against Jack Pumpkin.
So now, even before Dark could issue an order, it launched a charge without fear of death!
"Activate!"
Dark immediately drew out a [Card of Happiness], and this time the summoning speed was much faster.
[Card of Happiness] took effect almost immediately, and light shot out into the eyes of the harpy.
During this moment of confusion, the harpy missed the opportunity to react immediately.
DemiDevimon was able to kick the harpy in the face and knock her out!
"Screech!--"
The harpy's scream came from under the window.
...
