Chapter 731: Willing Submission
Mana Cards are the lifeline of Magi, never shown lightly.
But in this situation, Wit Gold had no choice but to comply.
He took a deep breath and handed over his Mana Card Deck to Professor Shylph.
Professor Shylph felt the weight and realized that there were far more than forty Mana Cards in his deck.
Wit viewed tonight’s duel as a significant milestone—winning would be the milestone; losing would just be an obstacle.
His “second consciousness” had made adjustments, adding some unknown Mana Cards into his deck without his knowledge.
These cards included not only ones like [General·Habakuk], [Vampire Viscount], [Blood Demon·Sandra], and [Venom Tail Blood], but also others related to demons.
If Wit had adjusted his mindset after his second consciousness went into seclusion and continued dueling with Dark, he might have had a fighting chance.
Professor Shylph opened the Mana Card Deck and drew out all the Mana Cards at once.
Sister Carrian immediately moved the tea set away from the table.
She laid out the Mana Cards and began examining them.
Without any obstruction, everyone’s gaze focused on the Mana Cards.
Dark was also curious about what other Mana Cards Wit had, pausing his thoughts to scrutinize them closely.
“Vampires, vampires, vampires…”
After a while, everyone had a general understanding of the Mana Cards in the deck.
Unlike Angus Jeffrey’s mixed bag, most of the Mana Cards in Wit’s deck were related to [Vampires]!
There were other demon-related Mana Cards, but they weren’t the focus.
Professor Shylph wanted to check if there were Mana Cards like [Demon King·Arminster].
However, after flipping through all the Mana Cards, she didn’t find any [Demon Kings].
The highest-ranked Mana Card in the deck was a nine-star Vampire Marquis—[Vampire·Constantine]!
…
To the observers, a nine-star Mana Card wasn’t much.
But if Dark’s deductions were accurate, this was actually quite terrifying!
Assuming the “second consciousness” was a reincarnated Demon King, it would have been reborn within Wit Gold’s body last Christmas.
Now, it was unclear how “insane” its memory was, but it certainly wasn’t complete.
Perhaps the dominant memories were still those of Wit.
Yet, the learning ability of this “second consciousness” was incredibly frightening.
In less than a year, it had already learned and created a nine-star Mana Card!
This ability alone was worthy of being one of the hardest-to-defeat Demon Kings in history.
Fortunately, it was discovered in time.
If given more time to learn, it would become a significant threat.
…
With the rapid development of Mana Technology, more and more Magi are losing control.
Catastrophe has already begun to sprout. Even without the “Rebirth of the Gods,” unrestricted Mana Technology will lead to decline.
…
After reviewing all the Mana Cards, Professor Shylph gathered them and turned to ask, “Anything else?”
Wit shook his head, “Maybe, but I don’t know.”
“At your room later.” Professor Shylph said sternly, “Come over, divide these Mana Cards into two parts—one for you, one for it.”
Wit moved closer and quickly sorted the Mana Cards.
Once Wit separated the Mana Cards into two piles, Professor Shylph returned her own Mana Cards to the deck and handed it back to him, “Yours, take care of it. As for this one, I’ll keep it for now.”
Wit naturally had no objections.
He quickly took the half-empty Mana Card Deck, tied it to his leg, and sat back down under Professor Shylph’s direction.
Professor Shylph stacked the remaining Mana Cards and during the process, pulled out a Mana Card named [Flashbug] and sighed slightly.
The appearance of [Flashbug] somewhat confirmed Dark’s guess, nearly confirming that Wit Gold was the [Third Party].
She placed the neatly stacked Mana Cards on the table and said, “Back to the main point, can you find a way to call out the other entity inside you?”
Wit Gold replied awkwardly, “I don’t know, Professor.”
Professor Shylph crossed her fingers and said gently, “Try it. You didn’t know of its existence before, so you haven’t tried. But from the current signs, it knows your situation very well. Clearly, there should be a connection between you and it. That connection can’t be one-sided.”
Wit Gold remained silent for a moment and then said, “I’ll try.”
Professor Shylph nodded slightly and didn’t say more.
Wit took a deep breath and closed his eyes, beginning to call out his “second consciousness” internally.
…
At this moment, he didn’t know the possible identity of the “second consciousness.”
Throughout the night’s questioning, Professor Shylph hadn’t mentioned the word “Demon King” and maintained a relatively calm attitude.
If the “second consciousness” could observe the outside world through Wit Gold’s senses, it would only feel a moderate sense of caution.
That was normal caution towards the unknown, not extreme aggression.
Given the “second consciousness” was fully exposed, communication was possible.
Of course, this was all based on the assumption that the “second consciousness” had lost its memory of being a Demon King.
Thinking back, that possibility was quite high.
Moreover, its mind was somewhat unstable.
So anything was possible.
Thinking this, Professor Shylph and Dark exchanged a subtle glance.
…
Dark nodded imperceptibly.
The current situation was better than expected.
The key point was the presence of Ophelia Brad.
Ophelia Brad was Wit Gold’s mother, whose existence was highly deceptive, making the “second consciousness” instinctively think they wouldn’t do anything to it.
This impression was crucial.
It formed the basis for luring it out.
And once it was lured out so easily, things would be beyond its control.
It didn’t know that the [Magical Beast: Goddess of Heartful Eyes] was not a lie detector but a monster that could see through hearts.
Sometimes selectively revealing secrets could make people lose their guard.
The actions of the [Magical Beast: Goddess of Heartful Eyes] were also a trap.
…
Time slowly passed.
Professor Metia and Sister Carrian started whispering.
Eve wrote intently in her notebook.
Ophelia Brad frequently sipped her tea.
Everyone waited.
And Wit Gold, after trying to call out the “second consciousness,” immediately made contact!
This was completely unexpected for Wit.
Just as he was about to open his eyes, the “second consciousness” urged him to stop, causing his eye to twitch sharply.
Then he communicated internally with the “second consciousness.”
“I am born because of you, we are one,” the “second consciousness” said.
Wit Gold was not fooled by such simple words, asking immediately, “Who are you?”
The “second consciousness” replied, “Do you know about multiple personalities? I am the second personality you developed after experiencing too many setbacks. I represent your desire for strength and your will to overcome everything.”
Its voice was gentle, not cold and sharp like on the dueling arena.
Wit Gold’s brows furrowed slightly, intrigued, “Really?”
After a brief silence, the “second consciousness” said, “I told you, you are me, and I am you. Anything you know, I know.”
Wit Gold immediately asked, “But I don’t know what you know!”
The “second consciousness” explained, “That’s because I’m an observer, and you’re the executor. If we switch, I take control of the body, you can see things from my perspective, like in that duel.”
Wit Gold carefully recalled and realized he did remember the scene of the “second consciousness” dueling Dark, feeling embarrassed, “Why didn’t I know when you secretly created Mana Cards?”
The “second consciousness” replied without hesitation, “Because you were sleeping.”
Wit: “…”
A logical loop was formed.
…
But during this mental exchange, Wit had already been influenced and interfered with by the “second consciousness.”
He focused entirely on this flawed logical loop, subconsciously ignoring obvious flaws.
When the “second consciousness” added Mana Cards to his deck, he wasn’t asleep!
However, from the start, there was a hierarchy between their consciousnesses. Wit lacked spiritual abilities, while the “second consciousness” possessed several special abilities.
Luring Wit was like using a lollipop to get a two-year-old to watch goldfish.
Soon, Wit believed the “second consciousness” was his second personality.
He then asked a critical question, “Since we share the same origin, why don’t I know how to create those demon creatures, but you do?”
The “second consciousness” had an answer, “Because of Into the Abyss.”
“Into the Abyss?” Wit was startled, immediately thinking of the book he got from the library in his first year.
Though the book titled Into the Abyss was lost, the Forbidden Love derived from it remained in his Mana Card Deck, helping him win battles.
“What’s wrong with that book?” he asked.
But the “second consciousness” said, “Not that one, another one. I sneaked into the library at night and found another Into the Abyss.”
Wit: “…”
The “second consciousness” continued, “That Into the Abyss detailed the cultivation methods of some demons. Using those methods, I cultivated numerous demon organs and used them as the foundation for basic creation, eventually creating the Mana Cards you see.”
Wit: “Those Mana Cards… demon organs, are they that easy to cultivate?”
“No,” the “second consciousness” shook its head, “they aren’t easy to cultivate. Even with the method, it requires…
A large amount of resources were supporting this, but that alone was insufficient. I used Cameron Macefield as an experiment, and ultimately came to a conclusion. There was a key piece of information missing from that book. It wasn’t until Angus Jeffrey appeared that I suddenly realized it. Well, actually, it was also due to luck. When I was conducting experiments with him, I accidentally dropped two drops of blood onto it. That experiment was very successful.”
“Blood?” Wit Gold exclaimed in shock.
The second consciousness then asked in a matter-of-fact tone, “Don’t you know? You possess the Demon King’s blood.”
These plain words hit Wit like a bolt of lightning, shattering his mind.
His facial expression could no longer be contained, and he bit down hard on his teeth.
From the beginning of his first year, he had been using his own blood as a catalyst for mana spell formation and had achieved considerable success.
But that was because he was the [Hero’s Child], and he believed that his veins carried the blood of the [Hero], which allowed him to increase the success rate of mana spell formations, improve the quality of mana cards, and enjoy these benefits with peace of mind.
However, today, when the second consciousness suddenly revealed this truth, he realized that he had been using [Demon King’s blood] to create mana golems all along…
Wit Gold was not someone who would believe everything he was told, especially about such matters.
But in fact, the second consciousness’ words were not baseless.
He knew that his mother had once been embraced by the Demon King and was part of the Demon King’s lineage, though he had never dwelled on this thought.
Now, suddenly being enlightened, it felt as if a long-buried truth had been uncovered, and he subconsciously believed it.
And since the second consciousness had even revealed such a dangerous secret, his trust in it grew stronger.
If before he still harbored doubts about the identity the second consciousness claimed, now he almost fully believed it.
Seeing no response from Wit, the second consciousness continued, “We cannot choose our bloodline, but we can use it effectively. Even mana golems contain demon races and dark attributes; they simply have Demon King’s blood. We are not Demon Kings ourselves.”
That’s right!
We are not Demon Kings!
Wit Gold suddenly woke up to this realization, but instinctively added, “But what you did is not good. Fern Morse and Senior Angus Jeffrey…”
The second consciousness immediately responded, “I am the embodiment of your desire to overcome everything. To become stronger, I will do anything.”
…
From a certain moment on, Wit Gold’s facial expressions became incredibly varied.
While Dark and others waited, they all realized he had already made contact with the “second consciousness.”
“Making contact is good, just fear it might not happen.”
Dark picked up a teacup and took a sip, then suddenly realized the tea had cooled, so he brewed another pot, pouring it for everyone else.
The rich aroma of black tea gradually filled the office with the rising steam.
Wit Gold finally opened his eyes when he had drunk half of the new tea.
Dark looked into his eyes and knew it wasn’t the “second consciousness.”
Immediately afterward, Professor Shylph said seriously, “Did it succeed?”
Wit Gold nodded and said, “I can call it out.”
Professor Shylph asked, “Do you know what it is?”
Wit Gold took a deep breath and said, “It is my second personality. I’m sorry, I didn’t realize its existence before. I will take responsibility for my past mistakes.”
Professor Shylph replied, “Having this awareness is good. What is its attitude?”
Wit Gold said, “It is calm and reasonable. If you wish to ask it questions, I can temporarily hand over control of this body to it.”
“Alright.” Professor Shylph responded, saying, “Then call it out.”
“Okay.” Wit Gold closed his eyes again.
This time, after only a few seconds, he opened his eyes again. His black pupils expanded slightly, and the white part of his eyes became less prominent.
This change was subtle, but both Dark and Professor Shylph had already noticed.
The “second consciousness,” after isolating itself, finally reappeared.
…
Everyone paused for a moment at this moment.
Afterward, they all stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Wit Gold.
Hephestus Dragone’s expression was mostly curious.
Ophelia Brad’s gaze had become sharp.
Professor Shylph and Dark’s expressions did not change much.
The “second consciousness” did not act out of line after opening its eyes; instead, it cautiously observed everyone present.
Professor Shylph looked at the [Magical Beast: Goddess of Heartful Eyes], who formed an “O” shape with her thumb and index finger.
Only then did Professor Shylph say, “How should we address you?”
The second consciousness frowned naturally, “Professor Shylph, I am Wit!”
Professor Shylph smiled brightly, “Yes, I know, it’s your second personality.”
Her always serious face melted away, revealing a bright, eye-catching smile.
This sudden change left people completely unprepared.
The second consciousness hadn’t entirely deceived Wit; at least when he controlled the body, he could observe freely as an observer.
But neither the memories replicated from Wit’s brain when it first emerged nor the accumulated memories afterward had ever shown Sarah Shylph smiling so brightly.
After a brief moment of confusion, a stabbing pain suddenly pierced his mind— it had a very ominous premonition! Almost instantly, the second consciousness reacted, its pupils contracting sharply, clearly wanting to escape.
But in the next second, an incredible look of surprise appeared on its face, followed by a murderous aura seeping from its eyes. Dark mana surged like electricity, and it suddenly lunged toward the stack of mana cards on the table.
“Hmm.”
Professor Shylph merely stretched out her hand lightly, and suddenly a strong wind blew through the office. The paper documents on the desk rustled, and Wit Gold’s bangs were blown upward, transforming into a rope-like wind that tightly bound its body.
It remained suspended in mid-air, unable to move.
…
At this point, many people, besides the second consciousness, showed signs of shock.
Dark was equally surprised, but when he glanced around, he saw Sister Carrian smiling and Professor Metia looking confident.
This indicated that Professor Shylph’s actions were not impulsive and had been planned all along.
Those who knew her plan were likely only Sister Carrian and Professor Metia…
“Hey, can I come in?”
Lily Laplace poked her head out from the ceiling.
Dark twitched his eyebrows.
Alright, probably worried that Professor Lily couldn’t hold back, they sent her on an outside guard duty.
Looking at the second consciousness again, it was bound in mid-air by Professor Shylph, unable to resist, and the only thing it could touch was Wit Gold’s mana card deck.
But it hadn’t chosen to use Wit Gold’s mana cards for battle initially, and now it was too late to reconsider.
Half a minute later, it seemed to finally realize it couldn’t escape and gradually calmed down, its face showing confusion, “Why?”
“What do you mean ‘why’?” Professor Shylph slowly asked, “Why did we catch you? Why can’t you escape? Or why don’t you believe you are Wit’s second personality?”
The second consciousness’s face turned pale, and it mustered the courage to speak, “Even if you don’t believe me, it’s the truth. I know I made mistakes due to overzealousness, but it was all for victory. I need to get stronger, stronger than Dark, I need to defeat him, cross that threshold, it has to be that way! Alright, I admit my mistake, I’ll change, Professor!”
Seeing Professor Shylph unmoved, it struggled, suddenly turning to look at [Blood Princess] Ophelia Brad in despair, crying out, “Mom!”
But what Ophelia Brad’s eyes conveyed was only murderous intent!
The second consciousness’s pupils suddenly contracted, knowing it had no chance of survival.
It immediately stopped playing the role, its face turning cold, while its mana surged wildly under its control, attempting to break free from the wind’s restraint.
But Professor Shylph quickly drew a mana card and rapidly chanted a spell.
Three seconds later, three transparent needles emerged from the card’s surface and flew out, piercing its forehead, heart, and dantian one by one.
Thereafter, light connected the three needles, forming a triangle.
The second consciousness suddenly discovered it could no longer mobilize its mana.
Bound by four limbs and forbidden from using mana, it was utterly helpless.
…
“Bang!”
Wit Gold’s body was thrown back into the chair.
The second consciousness strained its eyes, not giving up completely.
Though its limbs were bound and mana sealed, it still had a mouth.
It could speak and potentially gain a chance of survival through its words.
But everything happened too suddenly, and it had yet to fully react, let alone understand why Professor Shylph treated it this way.
Like Dark deduced, it actually didn’t know its true identity; it was just a pitiful, brain-damaged creature.
…
“Professor Shylph, can you say it now?”
After a brief silence, Ophelia Brad asked first.
She was undoubtedly eager to know everything.
But Professor Shylph shook her head, “Not yet, let’s ask Dark’s mana golem first.”
But when she looked at the [Magical Beast: Goddess of Heartful Eyes], Dark asked curiously, “Can you explain how you fixed its consciousness?”
“I’ll explain,” Sister Carrian smiled. “I’ve done consciousness removal surgery on Angus Jeffrey with Professor Kazel, gaining some experience. Although Wit Gold’s second consciousness resembles Angus Jeffrey’s, they’re not exactly the same. Body, soul, consciousness. Angus Jeffrey’s second consciousness is just a second consciousness, attached to the same soul as his main consciousness. But Wit Gold is different; his soul is split.”
“What happened?” Ophelia Brad immediately became anxious.
Sister Carrian looked at her and said, “It’s not exactly a split. Given his current state, it’s possible that two souls have fused and then split again. Let’s use an analogy…”
She picked up two pieces of white paper from the table, placed them together, and said, “Wit Gold’s current soul state is like these two sheets of paper. They are stacked together, turning from two into one, and then
……
Then, with a slight effort, she began tearing the two overlapped white papers from the middle slowly, leaving only a tiny connection.
“Like this,” she said. “His soul is divided into these two parts. Then there are two consciousnesses, each attached to one part.”
This explanation was easy to understand, even Dark understood it right away.
But once she spoke, Ophelia Brad fully comprehended, and couldn’t help but mutter, “So deeply intertwined, how can they be separated?”
“There will always be a way,” Sister Carrian replied nonchalantly.
However, if observed closely, one could see excitement hidden deep in her eyes.
A new lab rat~
…
Sister Carrian continued, “After reaching this conclusion, it means that as long as his soul is pinned down, he cannot escape back. Consciousness is intangible, but the soul is tangible. Unless it can break free from the soul’s restraint and continue to exist purely in thought. But clearly, it cannot do that. That is the prerogative of the divine.”
…
She spoke lightly, but actually, even pinning down the soul was not something ordinary people could achieve.
Moreover, her method left no trace, not even the observers saw her move.
“What did she do to be expelled by the Church?”
Dark thought blankly.
He didn’t ask further, fearing that the second consciousness might find a way to counteract it.
He turned to the [Magical Beast: Goddess of Heartful Eyes] and said, “Now, tell us everything you’ve seen.”
The [Magical Beast: Goddess of Heartful Eyes] then calmly recounted what it had “seen.”
From the moment Wit Gold was summoned, none of his psychological activities escaped its detection.
And from the moment the second consciousness actively communicated with Wit Gold, their exchanges also failed to escape its detection!
In other words, the dialogue between the second consciousness and Wit Gold, as well as his thoughts at the time, were all exposed.
The [Magical Beast: Goddess of Heartful Eyes] detailed every bit of it.
As it listened, beads of sweat formed on its forehead, and flames of anger blazed in its eyes as it looked at the [Magical Beast: Goddess of Heartful Eyes].
…
After some time, everyone present, including Eve, Olivia, and Hephaestus, had a clearer understanding of the event.
The dialogue between the second consciousness and Wit Gold was indeed easy to mislead someone with its mix of truth and falsehoods.
But its inner thoughts completely exposed itself.
It indeed emerged after last Christmas, aligning perfectly with Dark’s deduction.
When it first emerged, it was a blank slate.
Including memories, it had nothing.
What helped it gain cognition was Wit’s memory.
It replicated Wit’s memories, gaining basic cognition and being influenced by Wit’s thoughts, becoming the “personality that wants to conquer everything” it described.
Of course, it wasn’t multiple personalities; rather, it was like the “Dark Game,” having its own soul.
However, its way of thinking was different from Wit’s.
It absorbed all the information Wit could access through an observer’s perspective but gradually developed a completely different understanding.
It thought for twenty-four hours a day, easily noticing many pieces of information that Wit had overlooked.
For example, the fact that Wit’s body contained the blood of a Demon King.
Not long after realizing this, the second consciousness discovered new memories in its mind—memories about the cultivation methods of demons!
At first, these memories were minimal and didn’t draw its attention.
But as time passed, the memories grew, and it realized something was happening.
Eventually, it understood!
It truly understood!
It not only understood where those memories came from but also why it was born!
Those memories were brought by the blood of the Demon King!
It was born to become the Demon King and revive the demon race!
…
To be fair, this couldn’t be blamed on it.
After all, the second consciousness could obtain extremely limited information.
Ophelia Brad never told Wit anything about the Demon King container, so the second consciousness naturally had no idea.
It wouldn’t think that the Demon King might resurrect in Wit’s body after death, let alone that it wanted to become that Demon King!
…
By now, Dark had roughly confirmed his guess.
The conclusions drawn from this were mixed.
First, the Demon King indeed resurrected in Wit Gold’s body after death.
Second, after resurrection, the Demon King lost all memory, though it retained a little bit.
Finally, the loss of memory was not permanent; it could recover!
This last conclusion was very troublesome.
Although it wasn’t clear if it was related to the Demon King’s blood, the second consciousness indeed recovered some memories.
With those memories, it wrote the book Into the Abyss using the skin of a devouring monster.
The title was chosen because Wit once had a book named Into the Abyss. It liked the phrase: “Into the abyss, gaze into the abyss.”
Then, considering Wit lacked experimental conditions, it found Cameron Macefield and induced him to cultivate demons.
After Macefield’s failure, it improved Into the Abyss, and then approached Angus Jeffrey.
At this point, Into the Abyss could already influence the mind, causing the holder to develop a second consciousness.
Their initial experiments weren’t conducted in the secret path; it was only later, due to some chance, that they found the correct cultivation method and bred the first demon—the [Brain Fluid Demon]!
Afterward, to verify their ideas, they systematically bred a second [Brain Fluid Demon].
After breeding the [Brain Fluid Demon], considering the need for secrecy, the second consciousness guided Angus Jeffrey to cultivate the organs of the [Flashbug], eventually refining them into a card—not using the Basic Conjure Method, but Directed Formulation!
As research deepened, the second consciousness found its memories increasing, all related to knowledge about demonic creatures.
This knowledge provided the foundation for Directed Formulation.
Of course, Angus Jeffrey remained the primary experimenter, and the second consciousness didn’t use Directed Formulation alone.
However, with Angus Jeffrey’s help, the second consciousness eventually refined many high-star Mana Spirit Cards.
Regarding Angus Jeffrey’s [Demon King: Amster], it was envious, but since it was created by Angus Jeffrey himself, it couldn’t seize it.
…
The entire process wasn’t overly complicated.
With the straightforward narration of the [Magical Beast: Goddess of Heartful Eyes], Dark and others quickly sorted out their thoughts.
This incident involved very few people in reality.
Cameron Macefield was one, but he basically just played a minor role.
Angus Jeffrey was another, but he wasn’t just a victim.
Fern Morse was one, and he was the only true victim.
As for Wit Gold…
Now, he couldn’t be considered either an offender or a victim.
Calling him an offender, he hadn’t done anything.
Calling him a victim, he was actually the beneficiary.
Without the second consciousness, he likely wouldn’t have won the [Silver Cup] championship.
But this made Sarah Swati seem more like a victim…
In short, this was a complex situation.
Considering the matter couldn’t be publicized and the [Silver Cup] championship couldn’t be returned to Sarah, the professors could only offer some credit compensation.
As for Wit, knowing he didn’t win the championship through his own abilities, he probably felt like dying.
…
“What are you going to do with me?”
The second consciousness only realized at this point that the [Magical Beast: Goddess of Heartful Eyes] could read minds completely.
It had some confidence in its mental abilities but never expected to be completely exposed without any awareness.
But now, apart from admitting defeat, it had no better options.
Professor Shylph’s answer was indeed decisive.
“Cut it off.”
First, it needed to be separated from Wit Gold.
This was the biggest prerequisite.
Whether to eliminate or seal it afterward would require further consideration.
But considering the Demon King would resurrect again after death, the professors would likely choose to seal it.
“If there really isn’t a good way to separate the soul, I can try,” Dark suddenly interjected.
Since the second consciousness was essentially a soul, the [Reaper’s Casket] was an expert in this area.
However, after being consumed by the [Reaper’s Casket], the Demon King would still resurrect in another container, making it a desperate measure.
They discussed various ways to handle the second consciousness, which made it nervous, wishing it could die right then.
Until now, it didn’t know it was likely the Demon King.
The informed ones present were very cautious, not revealing this information to it.
…
Finally, it couldn’t bear it anymore and wanted to curse, but the threads of wind suddenly increased, timely blocking its mouth.
“Mmm!” It could only struggle to make sounds.
Professor Shylph restrained herself from cutting it into three pieces immediately and said, “Christmas is coming, Cynthia should be back soon, let her decide then. If not, kill it!”
“Mmm mmm mmm!” The second consciousness’s desire to survive was strong.
Dark glanced at it and said, “If we can successfully separate it, we can consider refining it into a Mana Spirit.”
“Mmm mmm!” Its cries became more desperate.
The [Magical Beast: Goddess of Heartful Eyes] suddenly said, “It says refining living things is taboo.”
Professor Shylph replied, “Generally, living things die during the process of being refined into a Mana Spirit.”
Dark smiled and was about to speak when the [Magical Beast: Goddess of Heartful Eyes] suddenly added, “It says it has important information to exchange for its life.”
Dark froze and slowly looked at… the [Magical Beast: Goddess of Heartful Eyes].
The [Magical Beast: Goddess of Heartful Eyes] directly said, “It says it can feel comrades bearing the same fate far away, and it can help us find them.”
The second consciousness: “Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!”
