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

　The golem was connected to the [Mud Nightmare Barrier], causing its consciousness to remain trapped in a man-made dream for an extended period.

　[Severe insomnia and poor health, need to rest. Updates will resume after midnight tonight if I feel better, otherwise after noon tomorrow.]

　Chapter 837 [Seeking Monthly Tickets] Darkdemon vs. Powerful Attacker (4k)

　Besides Professor Cazell and Professor Steven Harvey, Sister Caryan's sister was also in the laboratory.

　Lillian, and Ergane.

　Ergani was there so that she could use the Brain in the Vat at a crucial moment to ensure that Demon King #2 would not awaken in the dream.

　Sister Lillian, on the other hand, had been in the laboratory for several days before the incident, mainly helping Professor Harvey with his work.

　Take action.

　Sister Lillian and Ergane had a fairly good relationship.

　This is largely because she is not allowed to move freely within the castle and is currently only permitted to visit a few designated areas.

　Ergani's (Dark's) teachers' dormitory was one of the areas she could come and go from.

　Over time, she and Ergane became little playmates.

　"Before performing the magical transformation on him, I hope to extract as many memories from his mind as possible."

　Professor Steven Harvey stood in front of the lab table, holding a nearly transparent book in his hands.

　According to him, it was the "Book of Souls," which he created by collecting and fusing fragmented souls that wandered the world.

　It is called the "Book of Memory Recording".

　By guiding the dream, he extracted the memories of [Demon King No. 2] and inscribed them all into this [Book of Souls] which has "infinite" pages.

　If you ever need answers in the future, you can find them in this "Book of the Soul".

　This is the magic of a necromancer, profound and complex.

　In other words, Professor Steven Harvey was already preparing for the experiment to fail.

　The successful forging of [Demon King No. 1] is not sufficient to guarantee that the forging of [Demon King No. 2] will necessarily succeed.

　The basis for success.

　In terms of completeness, the two are vastly different.

　The difficulty of achieving this is also hard to grasp.

　As researchers, they cannot only look at the positive aspects; they must also consider the worst-case scenario.

　Prepare for this.

　If the experiment fails, another expedition will be needed!

　Fortunately, they conducted an experiment on this.

　The connection between [Demon King Aleister] and [Demon King No. 2] still exists, and can be considered as a means of searching.

　The use of human radar undoubtedly provides a safety net for unforeseen failures.

　Unless [Demon King No. 2] enters [Hibernation] immediately after its rebirth, it will be impossible to capture it again.

　It's just a matter of time.

　However, if it successfully evades initial detection by using hibernation, then it will have to consider facing other challenges afterward.

　An even more powerful demon king than before!

　Nobody wants to face that outcome.

　Therefore, the preparations for this experiment were extremely thorough and rigorous.

　At nine o'clock in the evening, Dak finally left the laboratory and returned to his dormitory in the tower.

　In the cool of the night, Aurora brought out a sweet fruit soup, providing the brain with the necessary sugar.

　Dark took some time to read some books related to various magic cards, then took out his [Door Card] and met with Senior Pandora.

　They chatted for a few minutes, then said goodnight to each other.

　Half of March has passed, and the daily lives of upperclassmen are becoming increasingly busy.

　Players who choose to compete for the Gold Cup, in particular, need to set aside extra time to focus on the competition.

　However, because so many people were vying for a spot on the leaderboard, the [Golden Cup] tournament schedule was extremely full, even for those who applied to the Duel Club.

　Even if the application is submitted, it is difficult for the latter to adjust the match schedule according to the players' requests.

　It's extremely rare for someone like Darko to proactively request that the competition be split into two days.

　On Saturday, the next day, Dark arrived at the open-air duel arena early in the morning.

　He read his book while waiting, so he didn't waste much time.

　Thirty minutes after the start of the morning match, he stepped onto the dueling stage again, and this time, with...

　They achieved an overwhelming victory with a crushing force!

　His opponent in the duel was a fourth-year student matched normally, who was determined to compete against a master.

　The fourth-year students, who were just getting excited about the competition, had their enthusiasm dampened by Dak's cold water.

　However, that senior student, as expected of someone from the Knights Academy, did not show any dejection even after suffering a crushing defeat in his duel with the second-year junior, and instead boasted that he would surpass him in the next duel.

　Dac expressed his anticipation for this.

　This was followed by a regular match on Saturday afternoon.

　Dark was matched against a fifth-year student who was aiming to advance from the Magic Academy.

　Although the senior student displayed a dazzling array of spells, causing considerable trouble for Dark, he

　The [Flame Dragon? Explosive Dragon] was successfully summoned, and the [Fire Dragon's Blazing Flash], possessing the power to ward off magic, successfully broke through...

　They broke the curse of that senior student and ultimately won by a narrow margin.

　After that, he also discovered that not every player studies their opponents, and even those who do often only...

　I'll include one or two spell cards for removal or counter-strategies, but I'll still mostly rely on my preferred deck and playstyle.

　law.

　In fact, this is the mainstream approach right now.

　Come on, students, especially ambitious students, are all very busy and have no time to study their opponents.

　Secondly, new decks temporarily constructed to counter opponents are usually not as strong as their original decks.

　Compared to long decks, it is also difficult for duelists to unleash their full potential in a real duel.

　Not everyone has enough brainpower, nor the blessing of the God of Wisdom.

　However, this scenario is unlikely to apply to the person who initiates the challenge!

　Saturday, evening session.

　Dark is about to face a challenge from a sixth-grade student!

　This sixth-year student, like Eluri Clarissa, was also chosen by Dark from among many challengers.

　The reason is simple: this sixth-year student, like Senior Elurly, is one of his direct competitors.

　After four rounds of duels, Dark finally climbed back from sixteenth to fifteenth place, and was now just one match away from Eluri Clarissa in fourteenth place.

　If he can win this duel tonight, then his score will surpass Ailu's at that moment.

　Li Clarissa became either number 10 or number 13.

　Because the thirteenth-placed player was only one point behind Eluri Clarissa in points, and today...

　There will also be a match tonight.

　If the thirteenth-ranked player loses tonight, he will fall behind Eluri Clarissa.

　If Dark wins, he will surpass the two of them and become thirteenth.

　This ranking is basically secure.

　But winning tonight will be very difficult.

　Because the sixth-grade challenger that Dark is facing is currently ranked twelfth!

　It's quite rare to see a student still giving their all in the Golden Cup when they reach sixth grade.

　Matthew Bilbohm is one of them.

　He finished seventeenth in last year's Golden Cup points competition, just two points behind, and unfortunately missed out on qualifying.

　The chance to enter the main tournament of the Gold Cup.

　That regret continues to this day.

　While the top sixth-grade students were busy working on their graduation projects, he chose to try again...

　Participate in the Golden Cup, aim for the main competition, and even a top-three finish!

　Although most of the classmates who once stood in his way were no longer around, he hadn't originally intended to defeat them.

　He definitely won't be a contender for this year's Academy Cup, so making it into the top few in the Golden Cup would be a good result.

　Everyone has their own ambitions; it's hard to say whether they're good or bad.

　Matthew sat by the window in the players' lounge, silently watching the rising full moon, a flicker of something in his eyes.

　dull.

　He had given this challenge to Darko Dimon a lot of thought.

　He believed his tactics were perfectly suited to counter Darko, who was ranked sixteenth at the time, and who was ranked between tenth and sixteenth.

　Dimon exercised restraint before submitting the application.

　But to his utter surprise, Dark accepted challenges from two opponents at once, and just yesterday, he even defeated the Fairy Princess!

　He considers Elori Clarissa, the Fairy Princess, to be a formidable enemy.

　Because his fighting style was exactly countered by Eluri Clarissa.

　However, Dark Dimon, who should have been equally countered by Eluri Clarissa, was surprisingly defeated in yesterday's duel.

　They achieved victory.

　This made him realize that he had underestimated that second-year student!

　"It's not a big problem."

　Matthew adjusted his deck, muttering to himself.

　Even if we lose, it's only two points, which won't affect our advancement.

　Be timid before fighting!

　Meanwhile, Dark was sitting in the players' lounge, which was separated from him by only a wall.

　Matthew Bilbohm's achievement of finishing seventeenth in last year's highly competitive Golden Cup is certainly no small feat.

　A nobody.

　Although he wasn't as famous as the "Fairy Princess," he still had his own title.

　[Power Attacker] Matthew!

　As the name suggests, Matthew's tactics are all about attacking, attacking, and attacking again!

　From the beginning to the end of the duel, he did not defend or maneuver, only attack!

　This tactic did indeed counter Dark's tactics to some extent.

　However, now that he knows his opponent's tactics, Dark will naturally make appropriate adjustments to his deck to improve its effectiveness in this match.

　In a duel, one will not be completely suppressed.

　After he finished building his deck, he sat by the window, reading a book and waiting.

　Eight twenty.
