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

　A six-pointed star magic circle appeared beneath the feet of the eight-star angel, and the cube-shaped jelly on its body melted like snow.

Chapter 771 Daily Request for Monthly Tickets We still do not know the true strength of the person we saw that day.

　In the eastern sky, Professor Sylph stood like a pillar of strength.

　In the western sky, the professors (maids) faced off against six demons.

　As things stand, Aleister Eldridge's plan has essentially failed.

　Professor Sylph's forceful entry not only divided the battlefield but also greatly increased the distance between it and the carriage.

　Although it possesses some of the abilities of the "Abyssal Insect Demon," such as the ability to teleport remotely by opening "wormholes," this level of skill... naturally has a cooldown.

　Now, if we want to continue to achieve our goals, perhaps the only option left is direct confrontation!

　Aleister Eldridge clutched his stomach and stepped back slightly; his abdomen had been pierced through by a drill formed by the storm, and it was now healing.

　But normally, even if you drill a hole in your stomach, or even if your heart is gone, it won't back down.

　The reason for this is simply to bring "Lich" Ian and "Ghost" Vernon into each other's field of vision.

　Aleister Eldridge had actually been watching his subordinates' lack of effort all along.

　To be precise, apart from "Demon" Vernon, every other demon has their own agenda.

　Although everyone talks about "reviving the demon race," the deeper one delves into this era, the more one realizes how vague and powerless this slogan is.

　When demons are no longer the strongest race in the world, and when the Demon King is no longer the strongest creature in the world, how can a demon society that maintains order through violence and determines status through bloodline survive?

　Furthermore, what exactly is the Demon King's reliance on to revive the demon race?

　Is it only capable of cultivating those special demon races that were wiped out in past wars?

　But weren't those demons the ones who were defeated in the war?

　Whenever this is thought of, demons like "Corpse-Stitching Demon" Rororo can't help but think:

　Indeed, staying alive is more important.

　……

　Aleister Eldridge was also aware of the reason for this awkward situation.

　Because those demons who were truly loyal to it and willing to sacrifice themselves for the great revival of the demon race were all wiped out by the Holy Church during the "Demon King Execution Ceremony" in the middle of the year!

　Therefore, the current group of demon subordinates, including the former elder "Lich", lacks loyalty.

　Only Vernon, the "devil" who wasn't so smart, had always been relatively obedient.

　……

　However, there are ways to use people with high loyalty and ways to use people with low loyalty.

　Once they are driven up to Mount X, they will naturally have no choice but to do as it wants!

　Just like now, as long as that old lich is kicked to the forefront, it will have no choice but to fight the wind spirit with all its might!

　“An ancient magic wand? The Ghost Eye?” The moment Professor Sylph saw the enemy clearly, she immediately identified the origin of the wand in the hands of “Lich” Ian Tarkel. “If I remember correctly, this wand originally belonged to the gravedigger of Death Valley. Is it dead now?”

　"Lich" Ian immediately tightened his grip, his expression grave. "Looks like you're not young either? The old guy from Death Valley died decades ago. I bought this wand from a tomb raider."

　Professor Sylph shook her head and said, "Anyway, it's in your hands now. I just want to say that it's useless to me."

　Ian Tucker froze for a moment, then abruptly tilted "Ghost Eye," the eye at the tip of the wand immediately glaring at Professor Sylph. The power of "Ghost Eye" activated as expected, and an invisible force swept over from all directions.

　However, this powerful force that could temporarily immobilize the "Bloodborne Sword Saint" proved completely ineffective against Professor Sylph.

　Professor Sylph shrugged and said, "'Ghost Eye' is a ghost-themed wand. When infused with magic, it can immobilize a person's soul and see through illusions. However, if the strength of the soul exceeds twice that of the user, the immobilization effect will be completely negated."

　"Your soul strength is more than twice that of the user..." Ian Tucker slowly repeated Professor Sylph's words, his face hidden behind the mask suddenly contorting into a ferocious expression. "You mean your soul strength is twice mine? I'm a lich who's lived for hundreds of years!"

　Professor Sylph said, "It's nothing more than a candle flickering in the wind."

　"Die!" Ian Tucker instantly flew into a rage, his long-dormant magic surging wildly into "Ghost Eye," unleashing his most prized instant-cast death curse!

　Seeing a huge "death" character appear on the tip of the "Ghost Eye" staff, Professor Sylph remained calm.

　The essence of the "lich" is to transform its most basic vessel from the physical body into a soul. Both the physical body and consciousness are carried on the soul, and a portion with a complete record is cut out and stored in the scabbard.

　In this way, even if the original body dies, the part inside the life box can quickly develop into a completely new individual.

　Therefore, the body of a "lich" does not decay, and its consciousness does not disappear; its lifespan depends on its soul rather than its body.

　Therefore, every "lich" will make tempering the strength of their soul a daily practice.

　Professor Sylph actually said that her soul strength was more than twice that of its, which was a direct hit to its core, tantamount to openly insulting it as a piece of trash less than an ant!

　Although Ian Takker died thirty-two times in one go at the end of the war, he actually had a high sense of pride, which was the norm for most ancient demons.

　What's even more humiliating is that Professor Sylph wasn't exaggerating; her soul strength was indeed more than twice that of Ian!

　This made Ian Tucker even angrier.

　In this situation, the only way to vent my hatred is to curse him to death!

　However, Professor Sylph shook her head, saying, "The 'Death Curse' is an instant-death spell, but it has strict requirements regarding the target. It cannot be used on beings that cannot die."

　Ian Tucker: "??"

　Professor Sylph patiently explained, "Have you seen the tomb of the Elemental Spirit King?"

　In the blink of an eye, a gentle breeze brushed against Ian Tucker's neck, sharp as a knife.

　That magnificent head shot into the sky without warning.

　The murky blood unique to the "Lich" gushed forth instantly.

　Ian Tucker's eyes widened instantly, his field of vision rising rapidly, but he did not die.

　For a "lich", neither heart-ripping nor decapitation nor severing limbs is a fatal wound.

　Furthermore, if it so desires, its consciousness can immediately shift to the body below the neck, making its hands and feet move—which it does, in fact.

　The severed neck was immediately enveloped by a layer of magic, the blood stopped gushing out, and a blurry head emerged from the neck, inflating like a balloon and slowly revealing the details of a face.

　Professor Sylph walked forward without any surprise, followed by "Wind Spirit Queen Sylph," who had a pair of thin wings, floating slightly higher than her.

　Without any hand gestures, wind elements suddenly surged in from all directions.

　The body of "Lich" Ian Tucker suddenly shattered into pieces, chilling "Ghost" Vernon on the other side to the bone.

　But the "Lich" was not dead. Its soul burst out from its shattered body and grabbed the "Ghost Eye" wand that was about to fall.

　Professor Sylph's voice remained calm as she spoke: "It seems you are unaware of another function of the 'Ghost Eye'."

　Without waiting for Ian Tucker's response, she continued, "It is actually a wand that requires the soul to be bound in order to truly function."

　Ian Tucker's expression changed drastically, and his very being trembled violently.

　Then suddenly, as if avoiding poison, it released its grip on "Ghost Eye," and its entire soul rapidly retreated.

　But as it retreated, it saw a gust of wind entangle the "Ghost Eye" wand, which was about to fall from the sky, and bring it into the hands of the terrifying half-elf. Then the half-elf held the wand and pointed the eyeball on its fingertip at it.

　The image of Ian Tucker, as Professor Sylph had just mentioned, echoed in his mind, and at that moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

　That was a feeling that never arose even when its thirty-two life boxes were destroyed.

　At that moment, it instinctively realized that Professor Sylph's words were true: the "Ghost Eye" could certainly bind the soul and imprison it permanently within the wand's eyeball!

　At this critical moment of life and death, the old lich made a decision that, in the eyes of its posterity, was absolutely correct.

　It self-destructed its soul on the spot, amidst the astonished gazes of "Demon" Vernon, "Demon King" Aleister Eldridge, and "Bloodborne Sword Saint"!

　"BOOM!"

　The soul of "Lich" Ian Tarkel exploded into fireworks in the air during the brief moment of their direct confrontation.

　"what!"

　Then, in one of the life boxes, it woke up as if from a nightmare, suddenly straightened up, its whole body still trembling.

　……

　Thus, only two demons remained in the eastern sky.

　The entire area was deathly silent, with only the thunder from the "Boundary-Breaking Thunder Sea" continuing to reverberate like background noise.

　The "demon," whose mind was filled with nothing but muscles, felt a chill run down his spine and even felt his knees go weak.

　Aleister Aldridge felt no fear; he was simply astonished that Professor Sylph had managed to persuade the old lich to self-destruct with just a few words.

　Having spent several months with the old lich, it naturally knew how cunning he was.

　But unexpectedly, the cunning lich self-destructed almost without doing anything.

　Is it because Professor Sylph was telling the truth?

　Of course, that's all the truth.

　Professor Sylph held the "Ghost Eye" and sighed softly, saying, "It's a pity it's not the wind-attribute one."

　"Ghost Eyes" can indeed bind souls, but she doesn't know the incantation for binding souls, that's all.

　The reason why "The Lich" Ian Tuttle couldn't see through the problem was simply because it was already filled with fear.

　In the presence of someone whose soul strength is twice that of itself, it is indeed like an ant—this is largely the universal value of the "lich" species.

　Professor Sylph then slightly raised the "Ghost Eye" and pointed it at "Ghost Man" Vernon Ilictra.

　The latter's muscles tensed up instantly, and a red magical light appeared on its body, bursting forth in an instant!

　"Demons" are a relatively rare type of high-sequence demon who are not proficient in magic.

　But this does not mean that the "Oni" has little magic.

　In fact, the "Oni-man" possesses the same immense magical power as most demons, only they use it in different ways.

　Their muscles can absorb magic power, fusing the muscles with the magic power to form special "magical tendons," which makes the explosive power of "Demons" far exceed that of other demons of the same rank. Both their strength and speed are extremely absurd.

　The muscles of "Demon King" Aleister Aldridge are like this; his physical strength basically comes from these "magical tendons."

　Because his brain is all muscle, "Demon Man" will first consider using his muscles to solve most dangers.

　Therefore, its method of dealing with "Ghost Eyes" is very simple - as long as you run out of the range of the "Ghost Eyes" immobilization spell before it is cast, you will not be immobilized!

　The red magical light on its body surface not only pushes its muscles to their limits but also grants it the ability to move in the air.

　In that instant, "Demon" Vernon not only escaped the range of the immobilization spell, but also completely disappeared from Professor Sylph's sight.

　Its movements were incredibly fast, its ghostly claws outstretched with sharp nails, and the whistling sound was left behind.

　As it charged toward Professor Sylph's side, the sound suddenly intensified, and its sharp, ghostly claws flashed toward Professor Sylph's throat.

　Tooth for tooth, eye for eye!

　It intends to decapitate Sylph in this single strike!

　But all its fingers can touch is the formless wind!

　Professor Sylph's body vanished in an instant, leaving only a phantom image.

　Just like when she was struck by lightning, she perfectly avoided all the damage.

　As his right-hand strike missed, alarm bells rang in Vernon's mind. But just as he tried to pull his right hand back, a shackle quietly appeared on his wrist—he could no longer move it!

　"Wind Spirit King Sylph" looked down, a hint of mockery appearing on his face, which resembled Professor Sylph's twin.

　With a slight twitch of its fingers, countless chains suddenly extended from the shackles on Vernon's right hand, rushing towards its entire body!

　Once the entire body is bound by these chains of wind, even a "demon" cannot break free.

　Just then, lightning, sharp as a knife, suddenly struck!

　Professor Sylph and "Wind Elf Queen Sylph" suddenly shifted to the side, avoiding the unexpected lightning strike.

　However, the wind shackles released by "Wind Spirit King Sylph" were all severed.

　Therefore, the "ghost" who escaped immediately revealed a fierce expression, and instead of retreating, he advanced and attacked again.

　Almost simultaneously, a shadow loomed over.

　Aleister Aldridge, whose abdomen had healed, appeared above Professor Sylph, his right hand, now blackened, slamming down and instantly shattering the surrounding wind.

　Aleister Aldridge could watch the "Lich" Ian Tuttle self-destruct and die, but he couldn't bear to see the "Ogre," who remained loyal to it, be killed.

　Now, when it makes a move, it's a thunderous strike.
