Chapter 704 “Request for Subscription” Your Words Have Great Terror (4k)
“Who wrote this book?”
As they looked at the contents of the book, the three people in the room exchanged glances.
All three saw the same content.
The font used in the book was modern and widely used.
At least there was no mystery in the book’s content.
Dark Demon slightly frowned but quickly turned to the next page, then the one after that, and so on…
When he reached halfway through the content, he suddenly raised his head and whispered, “Found it!”
Professor Lily immediately moved closer, her eyes wide with attention.
Professor Shylph softly read aloud, “The breeding method for succubi…”
“Demon King? Arminster,” was a succubus!
Succubi were high-ranking demons not inferior to vampires, and their lower ranks were even higher than vampires’.
Even the lowest-ranking succubi had the rank of a vampire viscount!
There were quite a few succubi who became Demon Kings in history, and “Demon King? Arminster” was just one of them.
Dark Demon fell silent for a moment, hesitantly asking, “Professor, can I understand that Angus Jeffrey bred succubi and then used the succubi materials to conjure ‘Demon King? Arminster’?”
Professor Shylph glanced at him and said, “If breeding high-ranking demons was that simple, there wouldn’t be any place left for humans on this continent.”
“Huh.” Dark Demon sighed lightly, but then added, “Then how do you explain the conjuring of ‘Demon King? Arminster’? Random conjuring method?”
Professor Shylph pondered and said, “Let me see the book.”
Dark Demon nodded and handed the book “Into the Abyss” to Professor Shylph.
Just as his fingertips left the pages, “Into the Abyss” suddenly became transparent—Dark Demon instinctively grabbed it again.
He then lifted his head, meeting Professor Shylph’s gaze.
The room was silent.
…
That “Into the Abyss” which was about to disappear had become solid again, showing no sign of transparency.
…
Dark Demon silently released his grip, and the pages of “Into the Abyss” became transparent again.
He placed his fingers back on the book, and the pages instantly solidified.
This repeated several times, and even the dullest person could understand.
“Heh.” Dark Demon couldn’t help but laugh dryly.
Professor Shylph’s gaze flickered as she said, “Hold it like that.”
Dark Demon held the book between two fingers.
His exterior remained calm, but internally, he was in turmoil.
No wonder he found the book so easily.
It wasn’t that he found the book; it was that the book found him!
This “Into the Abyss” had passed through Cameron Macefield and Angus Jeffrey, and now it had finally found a third person!
“But do I seem like someone with weak mental fortitude, easy to manipulate?”
Based on previous analysis, the book first chose Cameron Macefield because Cameron possessed highly advanced mental magic, standing out among students.
But later it abandoned Cameron and disappeared because Cameron’s mental defenses were too strong, preventing penetration and control.
Therefore, Dark Demon and others deduced that it would choose someone with weaker mental willpower afterward.
And the current situation confirmed this.
Its second choice—Angus Jeffrey’s mental will was indeed weak and easy to manipulate and control.
But now, after experiencing Angus Jeffrey, did its selection criteria change?
Dark Demon took a deep breath to calm himself, continuing to hold the book.
Professor Shylph quickly scanned the page, saying, “Turn the page.”
Dark Demon nodded and flipped the book, coordinating with Professor Shylph’s quick reading.
During this process, he carefully examined the book’s content.
After about ten minutes, Professor Shylph gently nodded, and Dark Demon put the book away.
He had drawn his conclusion.
Apart from the special methods for breeding demons, this “Into the Abyss” contained no other content, and certainly no information related to the Mana Spirit Card.
To breed demons according to the methods described in the book—especially high-ranking demons—would be extremely difficult.
But what if only part of a demon’s body was bred?
“I understand,” Dark Demon exclaimed. “The conjuring of the Mana Spirit requires only parts of the body as materials, so there’s no need to breed a complete demon.
Perhaps Angus Jeffrey initially bred a complete demon—like that ‘Brain Fluid Demon’—but after that, he definitely didn’t continue.”
“Same as I thought,” Professor Shylph nodded.
Dark Demon analyzed further, “Breeding a complete high-ranking demon requires too many resources. Even Angus Jeffrey… his resources are limited. Moreover, his time is also limited!”
“And whether it’s the current Angus Jeffrey or the past Cameron Macefield, after obtaining ‘Into the Abyss,’ their first thought was not to breed demons, but to use it to conjure the Mana Spirit!”
“This might be the thinking pattern of a Magus… If it were me, I might have the same idea.”
“But based on the content of ‘Into the Abyss,’ it seems to have been passed around among several students, clearly for the purpose of breeding more demons, not just Mana Spirits.”
“So, it abandoning Angus Jeffrey and picking a new person is inevitable.”
“It’s just that we happened to run into it today.”
…
Professor Shylph shook her head. “How often does such a coincidence happen? There must be some special connection between it and Angus Jeffrey.
So, when it sensed something wrong, it planned to find another person. Anyway, let’s return to the infirmary.”
Angus Jeffrey’s dormitory was empty except for the “Into the Abyss” Dark Demon found. It had no other valuable items, so staying there longer made little sense.
They nodded in agreement, and Professor Shylph summoned a breeze to carry them quickly away, returning to the infirmary soon.
They landed outside the infirmary without making much noise.
Sister Carrian and Professor Kazel were still inside examining and diagnosing Angus Jeffrey.
Professor Shylph peeked inside and gestured for Dark Demon and Lily to sit down and wait patiently.
After about fifteen minutes, Professor Kazel lifted the curtain and came out.
His expression was neutral, revealing no emotion.
Professor Shylph immediately asked, “How is he?”
Professor Kazel swept his gaze and asked, “Did you find the book?”
Professor Shylph nodded. “Yes, it was in Jeffrey’s dormitory, but we didn’t find his lab.”
Professor Kazel’s gaze fell on the book in Dark Demon’s hand and asked, “Is that it?”
Dark Demon stood the book up, showing the title to Professor Kazel.
Professor Kazel couldn’t help but frown. “Into the Abyss?”
Dark Demon said, “A book detailing methods for breeding demons.”
Professor Shylph began, “Let’s talk about Jeffrey’s condition.”
Professor Kazel then said, “His condition is stable, but there are traces of invasion in his brain.”
Looking at “Into the Abyss,” he added, “Are you okay holding this book?”
Dark Demon replied, “I haven’t felt anything unusual mentally. In fact, apart from disappearing, it looks like an ordinary book.”
“Disappearing?” Professor Kazel caught the key point.
Dark Demon briefly recounted what happened in Angus Jeffrey’s dormitory.
To help Professor Kazel understand better, he handed “Into the Abyss” to Lily—the moment the transfer was complete, the book’s pages became transparent!
Professor Kazel abruptly raised his wand.
But before he could act, Dark Demon had already grabbed the book again, and it quickly solidified.
Professor Kazel’s eyes flashed, quickly understanding the situation.
Dark Demon placed “Into the Abyss” on the table.
This time, it didn’t disappear.
…
Dark Demon said, “You can put it aside, but don’t give the book to anyone else. And once it determines I’m not the person it’s looking for, it might disappear even if I hold it.”
Professor Kazel nodded, “As expected. We need to find a way to completely seal this book.”
Professor Shylph suggested, “Notify Metia. She’s an expert in this area.”
Professor Kazel agreed, “Agreed.”
“I’ll go!” Lily immediately raised her hand.
Both Professor Shylph and Professor Kazel nodded.
Professor Lily’s face lit up, enthusiastically taking on the role of messenger.
Once she left, Professor Kazel sat down at his desk, poured himself a cup of tea, and slowly said, “We’ll wake Angus Jeffrey up once Metia arrives.”
Professor Shylph asked, “Can he be awakened now?”
Professor Kazel waved his hand and smiled, “He’s unconscious due to shock, nothing else.”
Dark Demon’s face showed a strange expression.
Professor Kazel added, “Of course, the intensity of his emotional fluctuations is somewhat related to the erosion of his brain.
Anyway, we can ask him for details once he wakes up. I’m more concerned that since the book’s owner has changed, he might have lost related memories.”
Professor Shylph said, “Although this book is made from the skin of a ‘Book Eater Demon,’ it doesn’t erase all traces of itself. Cameron Macefield is proof.”
Professor Kazel nodded, “Let’s hope so.”
…
Professor Metia was quickly brought over by Lily.
She landed, clearly excited, “Where’s the book?”
Without waiting for a response, her gaze immediately locked onto the “Into the Abyss” in Dark Demon’s hand.
“That’s it, right? Let me see!” She stepped forward and reached for it.
Dark Demon loosened his grip, and she pulled the book out.
In the next instant, the book became transparent again.
However, Professor Metia seemed prepared. Her smile unchanged, silver light flashing in her eyes, magical threads surged from her hands.
Silver magical threads surrounded the book like planetary orbits, quickly encircling “Into the Abyss.”
This book, which had shown no reaction in Dark Demon’s hand, suddenly burst forth with intense dark aura!
“Trying to struggle?”
Professor Metia’s lips curled, her silver light glowing brighter, and a vast amount of mana surged, forcefully suppressing the dark aura.
Then the silver threads instantly transformed into chains, tightly binding “Into the Abyss.”
The book, which was half-transparent, instantly solidified.
“Done!”
Professor Metia casually picked up the sealed book, inspecting it from top to bottom.
Curiously, she asked, “How did you find it?”
…
After a few minutes, having understood the entire process, Metia praised while flipping through the book.
But she didn’t examine it closely, closed it, and returned it to Dark Demon.
Dark Demon asked curiously, “Professor, aren’t you going to look at it?”
Professor Metia smiled slightly and said, “Knowing what kind of book this is is enough. I don’t want to know the breeding methods for demons.”
Dark Demon furrowed his brows and asked, “Is there something taboo here?”
Metia said meaningfully, “Demons have already gone extinct.”
…
One by one, they entered the inner room.
Dark Demon still held the book but didn’t flip through it anymore.
They approached the bed and looked down at Angus Jeffrey lying there.
Sister Carrian asked, “Should we wake him up now?”
Professor Shylph said solemnly, “Wake him up.”
Sister Carrian nodded, then suddenly slapped Jeffrey’s forehead.
“Smack!”
A crisp sound without any trace of magic.
Dark Demon’s face darkened as he saw Angus Jeffrey suddenly awaken, accompanied by a scream that sounded like a nightmare.
As his eyes opened wide, the scream stopped, and his face turned pale.
Immediately, he glared at Dark Demon DiMont in the crowd, and Dark Demon smiled at him.
Clearly, Angus Jeffrey hadn’t yet understood his situation. He instinctively responded with a smile but noticed the book “Into the Abyss” when he looked down.
He shivered, feeling a chill run through him.
“Don’t be afraid.”
Professor Kazel’s gentle voice echoed in his ear, carrying a mysterious power that calmed his soul.
Angus Jeffrey gradually calmed down, whispering, “Where am I?”
Professor Kazel said, “You fainted on the competitors’ platform. This is the infirmary.”
“Competitors’ platform… fainted?” Angus Jeffrey repeated several times, his eyes rolling back, and his consciousness cut off again.
…
After a while, Professor Kazel hesitated and asked, “Did I say something terrifying?”
“You said something with great terror,” Sister Carrian pointed several times at Angus Jeffrey’s face and said, “I’ll wake him up again, pay attention to your words.”
Dark Demon glanced at Angus Jeffrey’s face and said apologetically, “Maybe I should step back?”
