The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　At that time, Witt's God's soul will be completely devoured, and the Demon King's soul will "usurp" it.

　Before that, they were actually intertwined, each containing the other.

　The difference is that, under normal circumstances, a Demon King reincarnation can only maintain one consciousness from the beginning, but now it retains two consciousnesses.

　Furthermore, even among the Demon King's soul that has now branched out, there is a portion of Witt's soul.

　In short, the fusion between the Demon King's soul and Werther's soul was several times stronger than Professor Steven Harvey's initial impression!

　If the branched portion of the Demon King's soul is cut off, the small part of the soul belonging to Wit that was fused with it will also be cut off.

　When one is prosperous, both are prosperous; when one is lost, both are harmed!

　……

　"I can make the move."

　After a long pause, Professor Steven Harvey finally spoke.

　"But this level of soul-severing experiment requires not only technology, but also time. It will be an extremely long process."

　The ability to cut, split, and glue souls is a fundamental skill of necromancers.

　Given enough time, even a soul that has been fused into a lump of mush can be gradually cut apart and separated.

　Even so, a soul pieced together will shatter like glass at the slightest touch if it's too fragmented during the cutting process. But if there's no other way, then so be it.

　“What if…” Dark hesitated.

　Professor Steven Harvey said kindly, "What are your thoughts? Feel free to share them."

　Dark then said, "Since the second consciousness can grow by absorbing the nutrients from Werther's soul, what about the reverse? Can Werther's soul devour the second consciousness?"

　Professor Steven Harvey nodded in approval: "I've thought of that idea before. But for some reason, that second consciousness, despite being born later, seems to have a higher order than Witt Godd's soul. It's difficult for the inferior to overcome the superior."

　Dark lowered his head in thought: "Is that so?"

　But it seems that this is indeed the only possible situation.

　In comparison to the Demon King, Vitor God is essentially just a vessel. Although various unforeseen factors have led to their current coexistence, there is absolutely no reason for the vessel to devour its master.

　This might explain why the demon king's soul seemed to have a higher degree of control over his body than Witt's.

　But this makes things even more difficult!

　“We need to discuss this situation,” Dark said.

　……

　They then went out of the dormitory to explain their conclusions to Professor Sylph and others who were waiting outside, and continued their discussions.

　"It wasn't as smooth as I expected." Professor Sylph glanced at Professor Mitia, her eyes filled with reproach.

　Professor Mitya rolled her eyes and said, "What are you looking at? I'm just making a prediction."

　Professor Sylph turned to Ophelia Brad and said, "If this is true, you might have to be prepared for the Demon King's soul and Witte's soul to coexist forever."

　Ophelia Brad's face was ashen.

　Sister Kallian comforted her, "Actually, all we need to do is seal away that part of the Demon King's consciousness, right?"

　Ophelia Brad slowly shook her head: "I know better than anyone how terrifying the Demon King is. He is like a leech, and unless he is completely eradicated, simply sealing him is not enough."

　Professor Sylph frowned and said, "Then let's wait for Kazel."

　……

　A moment later, Dak and the other two went back into the dormitory.

Chapter 734 Seeking Monthly Tickets: Psychological Trauma

　"What...what did you do to me?"

　The demon king, still unaware that he was the demon king, was filled with fear and struggled desperately.

　However, although its muscles twitched, its torso and limbs moved involuntarily.

　Professor Sylph had an idea and manipulated him to squat down and cover his mouth with his hand.

　Little Lily's eyes lit up, and she quickly reached for the switch in Professor Sylph's hand. Then the Demon King suddenly stood up and began to dance Swan Lake on tiptoe.

　"Hehehe," Professor Lily chuckled.

　Ophelia Brad's face twitched as she watched, but the thought that the body being manipulated and played with was that of her own child, while the outward consciousness belonged to the demon king who had died a thousand times over, filled her with a sense of pleasure.

　She was constantly torn between this conflicting feeling of worry and exhilaration.

　Only after Professor Lily's initial enthusiasm cooled down and the green light dimmed did Vittor Gold's body stop dancing. Then, he suddenly opened his mouth and screamed, "Ahhh!"

　His cry wasn't actually something he had just uttered; it came from his consciousness.

　……

　Although everyone present was exceptionally intelligent, they all made the same mistake at the same time.

　—They have completely forgotten Witt Gaud's consciousness!

　From the moment the Demon King's consciousness was drawn out, Witt Gaudelaire witnessed the Demon King's performance as an "observer," and was even able to communicate with it mentally at the beginning.

　However, not long after, part of the Demon King's soul was pinned down by Sister Kallian's "invisible nails," and then Witt discovered that his connection with the Demon King had been severed!

　Although he could not communicate with the Demon King's consciousness in the Sea of ​​Mind, he could still see and hear the sounds of the outside world.

　Then the Demon King was bound by the Wind Silk, his magic was suppressed by the "Demon-Sealing Needle", and he was casually hypnotized by Professor Sylph.

　After the Demon King's consciousness fell into slumber, Witt God thought he could finally take his place. He opened his mouth to speak and was overjoyed.

　However, after several failed attempts, he was completely bewildered.

　After that, Dark and the others began their meeting in front of him.

　Therefore, at this very moment, Witt God already knew how terrible his situation was, and he was very clear that the soul merged with him was the Demon King who had brought disaster to his entire family!

　Unlike humans who curse the Demon King every day but have no real hatred for him, Witt God has a real and direct deep-seated hatred for the Demon King!

　His father, the "Hero" Bright God, perished during the process of sealing the Demon King.

　His mother, "Blood Princess" Ophelia Brad, was also corrupted by the Demon King and suffered for many years in the Holy Church's Basdia prison.

　If it weren't for the Demon King, he wouldn't be all alone to this day.

　This blood feud must never be forgotten!

　When Witt God learned that the second consciousness was the Demon King, he was struck dumb with shock. Once he regained his senses, he immediately launched into a tirade of curses, using all the most vicious words he had ever used in his life.

　However, because he was pinned down by the "invisible nails," his curses, delivered with all his might, failed to reach the Demon King's ears.

　After that, Witt Gold started to get stuck on trivial details.

　The time allotted for reflection allowed him to gradually understand many things.

　For example, when he first enrolled last year, how was he able to understand the book "Into the Abyss," which was encrypted with ancient cryptic language?

　For example, even though he is the "son of a hero," why is he being protected in a semi-house arrest at an orphanage? If it weren't for Principal Cynthia St. Arte bringing him to St. Marian Academy, he might have been invited to the Holy Mystic Academy and started a second round of surveillance and house arrest.

　For example, even though he clearly has the bloodline of a "hero," why are most of the magical spirits he creates using his blood as a catalyst actually monsters from dungeons?

　Now that he has learned the truth, all the answers have come one after another, yet they are hard for him to accept.

　Before he learned that he was the child of a "hero," he, like most human children, was filled with admiration for "heroes."

　After learning that he was the child of a "hero," he was proud of his identity.

　However, in reality, although he is the child of a "hero", he has a portion of the Demon King's blood in his veins!

　This sudden access to information is enough to shatter an ordinary child's understanding and even drive them mad.

　Fortunately, Witt Gold still had some willpower. After struggling painfully for a long time, he finally accepted the truth.

　But just as he finally accepted the reality and prepared to face his bleak future, he was sent to Professor Steven Harvey's experimental bed...

　He then enjoyed a full range of services on the experimental bed, including craniotomy, heart dissection, throat cutting, and wrist slitting.

　The only fortunate thing is that he did not have more subtle senses such as pain, touch, and smell at that time.

　Otherwise, he wouldn't be the one making "ah ah ah" sounds right now, but rather a blank, wooden figure who couldn't even utter a word.

　No one can imagine what he went through during that time.

　Seeing Professor Steven Harvey was like seeing a rabbit in a tiger's trap for him; he couldn't help but tremble.

　……

　We'll discuss Witt Gold's mental health issues later.

　Ophelia Brad pulled him close to comfort him, but Professor Sylph had already begun testing the "switch" in a businesslike manner.

　After the effect test was completed, Ophelia Brad suddenly patted him lightly, causing Vittor Gold to fall into a deep sleep.

　"It was my mistake not to take care of his physical consciousness. I hope sleep can help him regain his peace."

　Professor Steven Harvey apologized.

　Ophelia Brad immediately declined.

　This morning's discussion ended with a series of mutual excuses.

　After agreeing on their respective statements, everyone present finally dispersed.

　……

　However, since the place was originally a teachers' dormitory, in the end, only Dak walked out alone.

　He smiled somewhat helplessly, but his steps gradually became lighter.

　Although this incident has developed to the point where it seems to have only just begun, after it was determined that Witt Gold was the "third party" and his second consciousness was confirmed, the fog of mystery was finally lifted, and everything became clear.

　Even if the subsequent actions are difficult, they won't be like headless flies going around in circles.

　Moreover, he was actually quite excited about the actions that could be foreseen after Christmas...

　But this lighthearted feeling vanished completely the moment he stepped into room 301.

　The magical sprites, who had been waiting anxiously in the dormitory all night, overwhelmed him with their meows.

　……

　It took Dak a full hour to explain the cause and effect of this incident to the curious children, while he ate and talked.

　However, after taking a bath, he collapsed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

　He slept until 3 p.m.

　He squinted his still sore eyes, quickly washed up and dressed, and then got back to work.

　The summary of last night's duel is secondary; the main point is that today is December 21st, which is very, very close to Christmas Eve.

　Two major tasks awaited him: one was the small experiment led by Professor Cazell, and the other was the capture of the Demon King of the West.

　But both of these things happen after Christmas, and he doesn't need to do the preparations before that.

　But after temporarily withdrawing from these crucial events, one is met with inescapable mundane matters.

　Before it got dark, Dark went to find Foster Fernandez and took all the Christmas gifts he had prepared for the first-year students to store in the Magical Creatures Club's classroom.

　Then he received a custom-made, half-finished magic card from a senior student—a Christmas gift for Diana.

　After going back and forth for a while, it was already evening.

　He rushed into Traveler's Street and spent the next few hours preparing Christmas gifts for the classmates and maids he had forgotten. Finally, he snagged a limited-edition Christmas simulation card from a branch of the All-People Duel Club and bought a winter hat that could change its appearance.

　The simulation cards were a gift for Robert, just something I picked up on the spur of the moment.

　The trendy winter hat, however, was intended as a gift for Witt Gold.

　To take care of this classmate who had suffered severe emotional trauma, he specially prepared this winter hat, which could be considered half a magical artifact.

　As autumn turned to winter, the weather turned bitterly cold, and the students gradually wrapped themselves in thick cotton-padded clothes and wore all sorts of scarves and gloves.

　These devices were just enough to cover the restraints on Witt's body—but the black metal boxes on either side of his head were not so easy to cover.

　Those two black metal boxes acted like antennas.

　When the two consciousnesses within Witt fall asleep simultaneously, the metal box turns black.

　When the Demon King's consciousness is switched to the surface, the metal box turns red.
