Chapter 109: Darke Diemon Awakens the Light of Mind
“Shine, Light of Mind!”
…
The instant the voice sounded, the Moon Goddess, her fingers gripping the arrow tightly, instinctively loosened her grip, and the Moon God’s Arrow shot out abruptly!
The deer that originally belonged to the Hero’s Child had already raised its head, releasing a blinding white light from between its antlers!
—[Ultimate Skill: Light of Mind!]
The Moon God’s Arrow was instantly engulfed by the white light, but in reality, they did not collide.
The arrow pierced straight through the white light, directly penetrating the deer’s skull!
The deer died instantly.
But the Light of Mind had already been fully released, shining undisturbed on the Moon Goddess!
The Moon Goddess suddenly let out a scream.
…
Darke stood with his back against the wall at the corner, tightly holding the card of [Magical Beast: Buck Deer], pouring mana continuously into it.
As a magical beast crafted by the hands of the Hero’s Child, the hidden power within this Mana Spirit Card was something even the Hero’s Child himself had yet to unravel.
However, Darke had sensed its uniqueness as soon as he learned that his magical beast was a buck deer.
After all, in the original work of Harry Potter, the protagonist Harry Potter’s Patronus was a luminous buck deer!
Moreover, the buck deer’s ultimate skill was named “Light of Mind.”
Mana Spirit Summon’s ultimate skills were never given randomly.
Since it was called “Light of Mind,” it must be a manifestation of mental power.
And speaking of mental power…
One could not help but mention Mind Magus Red, and Red’s Mind Summoning!
Darke had fortunately read Mind Magus Red’s Summoning Lecture: Differences Between Mana Spirit Summon and Other Mana Summons, gaining some knowledge about Mind Summoning.
The essence of Mind Summoning lies in the so-called “bond.”
That is, the mental connection between the Magus and the Mana Spirit!
…
The accumulation of knowledge finally took effect.
Darke, with a mindset of surviving in desperate times, used “Light of Mind” as a medium to re-establish the mental connection with the “Imp Beast.”
Although Darke always treated the Imp Beast as an experimental subject, the relationship built over countless days of unwavering trust was incredibly strong.
Through the mental connection, he “saw” the “Imp Beast” curled up in a fetal position inside the body of the Moon Goddess, taking the form of a Demoness Beast!
Darke tried to awaken it: “It’s six o’clock.”
A plain statement.
But the Imp Beast suddenly jerked awake, opening its eyes: “It’s six o’clock, time to go to the canteen for breakfast and the newspaper for the master.”
Then…
The Moon Goddess let out a scream.
…
“Imp Beast.” —To be precise, it should temporarily be called a “Demoness Beast.”
Upon awakening, the Demoness Beast immediately began to vie for control of the body with the Moon Goddess.
Their consciousnesses clashed fiercely in the mental world.
With Darke’s mental power as support, the Demoness Beast, from any perspective, could not lose to the Moon Goddess, who had merely resurrected from a fragment of residual consciousness.
As the struggle intensified,
In reality, the Celestial Beast’s body began to twist and swell, its eight pairs of snow-white wings gradually turning black, and its hands and feet started to fight each other.
…
“Ahhh!”
The Celestial Beast’s skin split inch by inch.
Black chunks emerged from the cracks, crawling back onto the Celestial Beast’s body like worms.
The Moon Goddess, completely losing composure, hugged her head and curled up slowly.
In an instant, her entire body was buried again in the black chunks.
Darke tightly closed his eyes, continuing to maintain the mental connection with the Demoness Beast.
“Smack!”
The Demoness Beast’s right hand struck the Moon Goddess’s fair cheek.
“Smack!”
The Moon Goddess responded in anger.
In the mental world, the Demoness Beast and the Moon Goddess, from their initial verbal sparring to now physical fighting, were both exhausted and panting heavily.
Realizing that the Moon Goddess’s body was beginning to collapse, the Demoness Beast became energized, laughing wildly: “Could a lowly demoness like you dare to usurp my noble body?” Smack!
The Moon Goddess’s eyes turned blood red: “A mere demon…” Smack!
The Demoness Beast: “I am the noble Demoness Beast!” Smack!
The Moon Goddess: “Fight me one-on-one!” Smack!
The Demoness Beast: “I have a man, why should I not?” Smack!
The Moon Goddess: “Damn it (〃>皿<) Aaah!" Smack!
...
Unlike the intense conflict in the mental world, the secret path fell into an eerie silence.
Moments later, a tiny imp with butterfly wings flew through the wall from above.
Professor Didi appeared silently in front of Darke, hovering half a meter away, but Darke, who had his eyes closed and was deeply immersed in his mind, did not notice.
Professor Didi looked at him strangely for a long time before flapping her wings and flying towards the mass of black chunks formed by the Moon Goddess.
Looking at the mass of black chunks that kept writhing like a small mountain, Professor Didi felt extremely frustrated.
She could not fathom how things had come to this.
Could such a useless goddess really fulfill her wishes?
But since things had reached this point, there was no way to stop.
Professor Didi raised her hand, and fine silver began to cover her pale, slender fingers from her fingertips to her elbow.
Then, she spread her fingers and plunged them into the black mass.
...
In the mental world,
The Moon Goddess’s expression suddenly froze.
"Smack!"
The Demoness Beast slapped her face again, but the Moon Goddess did not respond, as if she were a puppet in a cage.
When the Demoness Beast was stunned by this,
The Moon Goddess suddenly transformed from head to toe into mud, becoming a pool of black sludge.
The mental world collapsed instantly when the support from one side vanished.
"Hah!"
Darke suddenly opened his eyes, his fingers holding the [Magical Beast: Buck Deer] already pale and drained of strength.
He didn’t have time to think, rushing out from the corner immediately, his eyes sweeping over the place where the Moon Goddess once existed.
He just saw the black mass collapse like it had lost vitality, flowing like mud across the ground.
As the black mass completely collapsed, a human-shaped digital creature hugging its knees and curling up into a ball appeared.
The Demoness Beast slowly opened her eyes, and as the world in her eyes gradually clarified, a familiar and warm figure took shape.
"Little Demon Beast?"
"It’s me, the Demoness Beast."
She staggered to her feet, lunging toward the golden-haired youth she could not let go of.
A pure white feather drifted down with her movement, slowly sinking into the mud.
