Chapter 611: Dark Demon’s Divine Wrath (4k)
The bright moon hung in the sky, its light pure and clear.
“The Illusionary Worm” had just materialized; its luminescent body turned into specks of light, slowly dispersing until it vanished.
Professor Kazel stared at the spot where “The Illusionary Worm” disappeared for a moment before musing, “Let’s try ‘Great Sun’.”
“Alright, Professor,” Dark replied, turning around and waving at Lil’Eevee who was peeking from time to time.
“Yi Eevee!” The Eevee immediately squeezed in, bouncing over like a rabbit.
Dark took out the latest “Arrogance II” card and placed it on top of its head, softly summoning.
Lil’Eevee soon ascended to two stars in golden light, and its list of ultimate skills now included “Great Sun.”
Following this, it skillfully raised its head and released “Great Sun!”
“Great Sun (Arrogance)” and “Princess of the Night” were undoubtedly mutually restraining each other.
The rising “sun” dispelled the night, making the nearly full moon dim.
Night faded, and day broke.
At the spot where “The Illusionary Worm” had vanished, a faint light suddenly appeared.
Then more light spontaneously generated, converging into a small ball of light.
“The Illusionary Worm” emerged from the tiny light ball, its thin wings spreading gently as it slowly flew up.
“Dying at dusk, born at dawn.”
Professor Kazel’s face showed a sense of reflection.
After two and a half minutes, with the “sun” setting, “The Illusionary Worm” died again.
But unlike most golems, it did not return to the card after death.
Dark needed to “Cancel Summon” to retrieve it.
…
“Professor, did you find anything?” Dark asked curiously.
Professor Kazel smiled slightly but avoided the question: “Do you know about necromancers?”
Dark nodded, “I do.”
Professor Kazel continued, “A friend once told me that in his final days, he blurred the lines between life and death. He couldn’t tell if he was alive or dead, often forgetting to eat.”
Dark frowned, “So did he die?”
Professor Kazel chuckled, “He died, but not completely.”
Dark nodded, “I understand.”
Professor Kazel said, “The ‘dawn and dusk’ of ‘The Illusionary Worm’ has nothing to do with the necromancy system. But they both illustrate the same point: the boundary between life and death might not be as clear as we think.”
Dark replied, “Professor, you once told me that an individual’s life can be divided into three parts: body, soul, and consciousness. But whether it’s the body or soul, they are carriers of consciousness. The meaning of death is the extinction of consciousness. If consciousness is gone, can one still be revived?”
Professor Kazel looked up slightly, “I don’t have expertise in this field, and my understanding also has limits. Perhaps there is something deeper beyond consciousness, though neither you nor I have touched upon it yet. For example, do you know about Ragnarök?”
Dark replied, “Yes.”
Professor Kazel smiled again, “And do you know how many times the gods have experienced Ragnarök?”
“This…” Dark thought deeply, then opened his mouth in surprise, “The gods experiencing Ragnarök, surely not all the same gods, right?”
Professor Kazel slowly said, “Who knows?”
…
They returned to the living room, continuing their discussion on “The Illusionary Worm’s” “dawn and dusk.”
Ten minutes later, Dark took the opportunity to express his confusion.
“Dark Magic Stone?” Professor Kazel pondered.
However, he wasn’t surprised by Dark mentioning it.
“If I remember correctly, that should be the work of a demon alchemist. It mixes high-level demon blood and mana, which is extremely poisonous to humans. But to low-level demons… it’s still poison.”
“The survival rate is very low?” Dark asked.
Professor Kazel shook his head, “One in a hundred. And even these hundred are carefully selected, possessing certain potential. But within the demon ranks, the hierarchy is very strict, making it difficult to leapfrog classes.
Although the “Dark Magic Stone” has a high fatality rate, it is a rare shortcut. Once one survives, it’s akin to a snake turning into a dragon, a sparrow becoming a phoenix, achieving instant ascension.”
“So that’s it.”
Dark immediately understood.
No wonder the “Three Thousand Props Eight Thousand Training Methods” didn’t elaborate on it. Even if the “Dark Magic Stone” were refined into a mana card, it wouldn’t change the extremely low success rate.
No, it might even become lower!
Once a prop is refined into a mana card, it generally deteriorates without additional materials.
Especially for one-time use props like the “Dark Magic Stone,” the deterioration is even more pronounced.
Using the “Dark Magic Stone” method as a template, even if he successfully refines the “Moonstone” into a mana card, it’s not guaranteed… still worth a try!
Believe in yourself, believe in Bliss!
How could one know good or bad without trying?
Dark continued to inquire about knowledge related to the “Dark Magic Stone.”
…
Professor Kazel seemed in good spirits tonight, staying longer than usual.
It wasn’t until nine o’clock that he waved goodbye.
Dark saw him off at the clubroom and quickly tidied up, taking the golems back to the dormitory.
Later, while enjoying the night meal sent by Aurora, he absorbed the knowledge imparted by Professor Kazel, savoring every bite.
Since he had math class the next day, Dark didn’t stay up too late.
Moreover, he set aside half an hour to preview the next day’s lessons.
Of course, before going to bed, he didn’t forget to draw two points of Wrath.
Now, his Wrath reserve had four points, enough to craft a new Capital Sin card the next afternoon.
With anticipation for “Wrath II,” Dark fell asleep peacefully.
…
The next morning, during the first class, Dark arrived on time at the first-year mathematics classroom.
For first-year students, September was a month of adaptation, and October was a month of advancement.
Starting this month, their workload suddenly increased, making them extremely busy.
Dark adapted to the overall trend, adding a bit more to their already busy schedule.
To excel in mathematics, problem-solving is the key.
Especially for first-year mathematics, which isn’t particularly difficult, there’s no possibility of failing to understand with effort.
More learning and practice build a solid foundation.
Without a strong foundation, one would truly struggle in future studies.
On this point, Dark wouldn’t show leniency.
…
After school in the afternoon, Dark warmed up his hands and started crafting “Wrath II” directly in the dormitory.
Using the magic patterns converted from the temple frescoes, he quickly completed the crafting of “Wrath II.”
“As expected, for a level II Capital Sin card, this crafting method is nearly perfect.”
Dark observed the final crafted “Wrath II,” feeling quite satisfied.
The card face of “Wrath II” was deep red, with intricate magic patterns etched around the edges. Staring at the deep red color for a while, one would feel a surge of anger.
Satisfied that “Wrath II” was successfully crafted, Dark looked around, trying to find a test subject.
During this period, the golems were either bustling in the castle or diligently in the clubroom.
He suddenly realized that the Imp Beast wasn’t around!
“Damn.”
Dark reached for his mana card deck, contemplating whether to summon the Imp Beast.
But thinking about having to summon Eevee, Ditto, and Agumon later…
“Right, there’s Agumon.”
Thinking of Agumon, Dark decided to bring his book to the clubroom.
When he arrived at the clubroom, it was already five o’clock in the afternoon. Diana and Rose were preparing to go to the cafeteria, but Catalysta and Broni hadn’t arrived yet.
Perhaps because the clubroom was so high up, the upperclassmen often only came after dinner.
This way, they could save some time climbing up and down.
Facing Diana’s invitation to dinner, Dark declined and picked up a little Eevee from the sofa, entering the president’s office.
In reality, there weren’t many subjects for “Wrath II” experiments.
The Imp Beast and Ditto could rise in stars, but the changes were minimal.
The real focus should be on Eevee and Agumon!
Dark was eagerly awaiting to see what kind of field spell the “Magical Beast: Eevee” under “Wrath II” would awaken!
…
“Yi Eevee?”
Eevee, puzzled by not seeing Dark craft “Wrath II,” made a confused sound.
“Doing a small experiment,” Dark rubbed its little nose.
“Eevee?” Eevee began to ponder what kind of experiment it was… and suddenly noticed that Dark hadn’t called the Imp Beast!
No Imp Beast!
Only Eevee!
Eevee, leading the charge!
Eevee, a great victory!
…
“What are you thinking about?”
Locking the door, Dark sat behind the desk and brought Eevee onto his lap, tapping its forehead.
Eevee instantly showed a shy and embarrassed smile, glancing away.
Dark shook his head, “Focus, I don’t want to be bitten.”
Eevee: “Yi?”
Dark already took out “Wrath II” and pressed it against Eevee’s head.
Eevee sniffed, sensing the smell of a “War Horn” from the mana card.
Its eyes lit up, guessing what kind of card it was!
“In the name of Dark Demon, Mana Summon!”
Deep red light shone from the surface of “Wrath II,” enveloping Eevee in an instant.
Eevee felt a burning anger welling up from its heart, its eyes gradually turning red.
But it clenched its teeth and endured.
Today was different; it was no longer the Eevee swayed by a mere “Capital Sin II.”
This anger, gritting its teeth, it could endure!
“Good job.”
Dark patted its back, then focused on its forehead.
The emblem of “Wrath” emerged from beneath its fur — an orange glow like twilight.
This showed that the emblem of “Wrath” was orange, and when refined into a card, it became deep red.
Deep red symbolized fiery anger.
Orange symbolized suppressed resentment.
…
Dark placed his hand on the “replica” on the table, concentrating briefly to imprint the emblem of “Wrath.”
The emblem of “Wrath” had a mark formed by three overlapping symbols at its center, resembling a “4.” Above it was the astronomical symbol for Jupiter.
Around the outer edge were English words:
LEVEL-666;
SYSTEM:SATAN;
CODE:WRATH;
Below the mark, inside the inner circle, were the words:
CAUTION! PURGATORY LEVEL 3;
…
Outer Circle:
Level-666;
System: Satan;
Code: Greed;
Inner Circle:
Warning! Purgatory Level 3;
…
“Satan! So the Demon God of Wrath is Satan?”
“Wrath is ranked third in Purgatory.”
“The star symbolizing Wrath is Jupiter!”
“It’s Jupiter!” X3;
Dark couldn’t help but show an expression of disbelief.
After all, in this world, Jupiter translates to the wood attribute planet, which is the Grass element!
“Representative color is deep red, emblem is orange, main attribute is Grass?”
“Is this hinting at ‘Sunfire’?”
“Hold on, isn’t Grass the attribute of the Emerald Holy Sword?”
Dark suddenly had an epiphany, instantly snapping out of his shock about the main attribute of “Wrath.”
The main attribute of “Wrath” is Grass, which benefits the “Emerald Holy Sword.”
The “Emerald Holy Sword” can absorb sunlight and emit a Grass-type beam like “Sunfire,” perfectly fitting.
Thus, the conditions for crafting the “Emerald Holy Sword” were halfway met; the rest was finding compatible secondary materials.
If it were a high-grade antelope horn or deer antler, the chances of refining it into “Bilijion” would increase significantly.
With a calm mind, Dark felt more at ease.
He then picked up the mana card for “Magical Beast: Eevee,” injecting mana to receive feedback.
Soon, relevant information flowed into his mind.
[Card Name: Magical Beast (Eevee)]
[Type: Elemental Card]
[Level: ??]
[Race: Avian-beast Kin]
[Attribute: Normal]
[Mana: 500]
[Attack: 700]
[Defense: 300]

“Wrath’s Full Moon!”
“Crazy Grass Field!”
