Chapter 96: Darc Demon’s Mastery of Luring Monsters
“Hey!”
Princess Anna, the second princess, tiptoed up to the castle window and peered from the third floor to the external bridge on the second floor.
The three-eyed squid fell from the sky, seizing the young lady on the bridge. The young man who was about to take action for their date had his throat pressed by the squid’s tentacles.
Scott, wearing the squid costume, stepped out from one end of the bridge, his voice filtered through the costume sounding hoarse. “Better not scream, or your skin might not be as tough as your mouth.”
Brudah swallowed hard, looking fearfully at his childhood friend caught by the squid’s tentacles.
But Mary did not hesitate and shouted, “This is a golem, someone is attacking us! Brudah, go call the professor!”
Brudah mustered his courage and said, “But what if I leave, what will happen to you?”
Mary replied, “Don’t worry, we are destined to be together by the gods. This is just a test we must pass. I’ll be fine.”
“Then… then I’ll go…” Brudah took a step back.
Mary’s eyebrows twitched, “Go quickly, I’ll wait for you.”
“Wait for me!” Brudah turned sharply and ran away.
—Even an eight o’clock drama wouldn’t dare portray this.
Watching Brudah disappear at the end of the bridge, Mary’s expression darkened.
She said in a low voice, “Alright, classmate. Attacking people in school isn’t a good script. I saw you researching how to refine a three-eyed squid when I was a first-year student.”
Scott: (⊙?⊙)
The three-eyed squid seemed to sense its master’s emotions and loosened its grip on Mary.
Mary forcefully pried open the tentacles, slid down, and kicked back!
Before that, a magic card slipped from her sleeve to her fingertips. In just 3 seconds, a metallic leg guard appeared on her kicking foot.
“Bang!”
The sudden burst of power was unparalleled.
The three-eyed squid’s contact with Mary’s kick instantly caved in, and it let out a terrible scream. Its massive body was kicked like a ball, smashing against the castle walls!
“Thud.”
…
Scott: (?????????)
…
Mary clapped her hands gently and said softly, “A nice Halloween dance, I don’t want to know what you and your companions are doing. Tell him to release Brudah. I can pretend it never happened… well…”
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly looked up and saw a small brain tiger with white wings descending from the sky, hitting Scott’s squid costume.
Scott let out a scream without warning and lost consciousness.
Princess Anna put away her “Wings” magic card, brushed off some dust from the small brain tiger costume awkwardly, and said obediently, “Hello, sister.”
Such strength!
Anna originally wanted to perform a scene where a magical girl descended from the sky to beat up the bad guy, but unexpectedly, the bad guy was already subdued.
Mary clearly saw Anna’s intention and immediately showed a gentle smile, “You’re a first-year student?”
Anna rolled her eyes, “Yes!”
Then she naturally attached herself to this heroic-looking senior.
Until Mary rescued her childhood friend from the pufferfish’s hand, she followed her all along.
…
On the other side, Princess Angie, dressed in a teddy bear costume, scoffed and happily ran towards another path.
Thus, the two little princesses went their separate ways.
Scott was awakened by the pufferfish who had escaped back, and the two supported each other as they walked into the castle, although the journey was long, they continued forward.
…
At the same time.
Darc had moved from the second floor to the third floor.
During this period, he obtained quite a few gains with the help of the imp beast and Eevee, though he didn’t encounter any hidden ghosts again. Instead, he earned a lot of credits.
On the first-year ranking list of the noble academy, his position began to steadily rise.
This naturally drew the attention of Wit and Robert. Wit immediately felt a sharp pressure and rushed from the second floor to the third floor.
The ghosts on the third floor were generally stronger than those on the second floor, but they still remained within the first tier of 1-3 stars.
Even the one-star squids no longer acted alone, and there were more三星的数量也多了起来.
Darc even saw a large group of ghosts draped in sheets wandering in the corridor!
Considering his limited number of cards, Darc did not provoke them easily but circled around a road and quietly approached the fourth floor!
After the trials on the second floor, Darc had somewhat understood the movement patterns of these ghosts.
So, combining his card quantity and types, he formulated a new strategy, preparing for a big move!
From the fourth floor of the castle, powerful four-star ghosts started appearing, and two-star and three-star ghosts began to form groups, occasionally chasing students around.
Well, like now!
Hearing a large number of ghosts approaching quickly, Darc immediately hid in a narrow path.
Then, he saw a familiar senior student from the noble academy sprinting past, followed by a group of mummies!
The mummies moved slightly slower than normal humans, but behind this group of mummies was a witch riding a broom, constantly casting acceleration spells.
Only after the senior student led the group of mummies running like a train did Darc crawl out of the narrow path, wiping his sweat secretly.
Then he began to familiarize himself with the environment on the fourth floor of the castle.
About fifteen minutes later, Darc found an empty classroom with no desks or chairs in a corner on the fourth floor.
After confirming there were no hidden ghosts inside,
Darc summoned the imp beast, patted its cheek seriously, and said, “It’s up to you!”
The imp beast looked like a veteran general heading to battle, weakly saying, “Not really, can we switch to another beast? The imp beast isn’t strong enough.”
Darc: “Being self-deprecating isn’t good. Believe in yourself, you’re the strongest!”
Imp beast: “Women’s talk.”
Then the imp beast flew out of the classroom, heading toward a group of zombies discovered during the previous investigation.
Zombies were even more terrifying than mummies, missing noses, eyes, or with intestines exposed, dragging on the ground.
The imp beast picked up a stone and threw it into the group of zombies standing by the windows, basking in the moonlight. They all turned simultaneously, their deep eyes fixed on the imp beast!
A great chase began!
Just chasing a dozen zombies couldn’t satisfy the imp beast, so it flew to the next destination, neatly luring a group of Jack Pumpkin ax-wielders, and then summoning a group of red-capped goblins!
Meanwhile, Darc was quietly waiting in that classroom.
He rubbed Lil’Eevee’s belly, completed mana enrichment, and then summoned it.
“Rescue!” X13;
With a gust of wind, the imp beast rushed into the classroom, and the nearest Jack Pumpkin ax-wielder slashed at it, nearly splitting its head in half.
“Here comes!”
Darc’s eyes narrowed, taking out “Bliss III.”
