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

　"But which professor should I go to? Or should I go to Sister Carlian?"

　As he walked, Dak pondered for a moment, then quickly descended the stairs and arrived at the common lounge.

　The magic lamps in the common room automatically turn on when someone arrives.

　He rushed through the lounge without stopping, arrived at the door, and then... suddenly realized that it was already late at night!

　"what time is it?"

　Dak suddenly turned his head to look at the wall clock.

　The hour and minute hands of the wall clock almost overlapped, and there was not much time left before the curfew at exactly twelve o'clock.

　His expression changed instantly, and he abruptly pulled open the tower door.

　"Squeak!"

　As the door opened, the night wind howled in.

　Several magical sprites shivered slightly.

　The feathered serpent golem guarding the tower instantly opened its eyes, a ghostly light emanating from them.

　Dark felt the golem's gaze, so he slightly raised the "Dream Demon" magic card and whispered, "I need to see the professor, it's urgent."

　The feathered serpent golem's eyes flickered slightly, and it slowly closed them.

　Dak immediately breathed a sigh of relief and strode across the bridge.

　He knew that the feathered serpent golem would still not let him in after curfew. But since it wasn't midnight yet, and he was only leaving the house, there was room for negotiation.

　As he walked, he observed the "Dream Demon's" magic cards.

　The light emitted by this magic card is not as intense as before. However, the flashing frequency has become very fast, giving a very urgent feeling, as if something is brewing. If it is not dealt with in time, the future will be irreversible.

　This made him feel increasingly urgent.

　From being woken up by a sudden bright light while sleeping to now walking out of the tower, not much time has actually passed.

　He does almost anything that comes to mind, with very little room for thought.

　"Sister Kallian, Professor Sylph, Professor Lily... or perhaps Professor Cazell!"

　At the most critical moment, Darke ultimately chose Professor Cazell.

　He quickened his pace and rushed toward the dormitories where the professors lived.

　A cool breeze whistled past on either side of me, and the castle was eerily quiet as it approached midnight. If it weren't for the numerous magical elves accompanying me, it would have been chilling.

　"drop--"

　"Uncertified entity detected!"

　"Arrest them!"

　Dark frowned as the "heavy cavalry" golem suddenly appeared ahead.

　"Di..."

　Just as he was about to order Gatomon to finish the battle quickly, a gust of wind suddenly swept past him.

　Leomon, which had just materialized from the light of summoning, charged forward swiftly.

　"Let me do it!"

　The lion's calm and reliable voice echoed through the passage.

　Dak ducked and dashed through the gap.

　That "heavy cavalry" was instantly pounced on by the lion beast!

　……

　Before long, Leo returned to the queue.

　Its magic hasn't diminished much.

　But whether they successfully defeated the "heavy cavalry" or merely shook them off.

　Dak didn't even ask.

　There were no further obstacles on the road after that. Just as he was about to arrive at the teachers' dormitory, the "Dream Demon" magic card that he had been holding in his hand suddenly underwent a strange change.

　The originally white light gradually turned scarlet and began to converge towards the center.

　By the time he realized it, the full text was available for free online.

　The light emitted by the "Dream Demon" magic card had transformed into a crimson pillar of light, as thick as a bowl, shooting straight towards the wall!

　……

　Dark stopped abruptly, his gaze hesitantly following the beam of light to the castle wall. He then quickly moved his magic card and discovered that the beam of light always pointed in the same direction.

　"Is this... guiding me somewhere?"

　Dark's gaze darkened as he channeled magic into his fingertips.

　The familiar "electrocution sensation" came quickly, but he crushed it with force and once again probed the "Dream Demon's" magic card with his magic power.

　This time, however, the magical penetration brought a completely different feeling than before.

　It lacks the intense heat and oppression of a volcanic eruption. Instead, it evokes a warm and comfortable feeling, like the soft touch of being in a mother's embrace, making one feel reluctant to leave and immerse oneself in it.

　And the Dream Demon in the Magic Cards...

　It's like a baby curled up in swaddling clothes, fast asleep with its eyes closed.

　……

　From dire straits to comfort and peace in an instant.

　The changes were so drastic that Darke began to doubt his own feelings.

　The crimson beam of light is gradually fading, but if you pay close attention, you can still feel the guidance of magic.

　He looked in the direction indicated by the beam of light, then glanced at the teachers' dormitory under the dark night sky, and suddenly realized that the highlight of Easter was probably really coming!

　But what exactly is that "main event"?

　What is its connection to "Dream Demon"?

　Why do the Magic Cards of "Dream Fairy" exhibit such variability?

　Dak suddenly turned around and continued rushing towards the teachers' dormitory.

　No matter what it is, discussing it with the professors will always give you more clues.

　He is not afraid of taking risks and is also very good at "watching the drama unfold".

　If this incident hadn't affected the safety of the "Dream Demon," he might have followed the guidance of that pillar of light and gone to explore on his own.

　But there is no if.

　As he was thinking this, Dark had already arrived in front of the teachers' dormitory.

　But just as he was about to take the next step, he suddenly froze.

　Because no matter what he did, he couldn't take that step—something invisible was blocking his way, completely sealing off any possibility of him moving forward.

　"Gatomon!"

　"Roger that!"

　The instant the sound is transmitted.

　Gatomon gave a soft shout and drew its sword.

　The cold light was as clear and cool as water.

　With its eyes focused, it swept aside the magical spirits beside it and instantly moved forward.

　Relying on the momentum of the sprint, a powerful sword strike cleaved fiercely into the void.

　A loud bang rang out.

　The air ahead suddenly trembled.

　Invisible Wall Sway

　Ripples appear.

　Dark's expression turned serious as he noticed that the air wall blocking his way had formed an inward-curving arc in the area where the ripples radiated.

　Rather than a wall blocking the teachers' dormitory, it's more like a spherical barrier covering the entire castle!

　The professors' dormitory building was simply located outside the barrier.

　The sword strike from Gatomon on the barrier left not a single mark on it.

　Dark's heart sank rapidly.

　"What exactly happened inside this castle?"

　……

　Looking down from the top of the sky.

　The moonlight shone on the castle, casting a slight distortion in only a few places.

　Not only the teachers' dormitories, but all the dormitory towers were separated from the outside by that invisible barrier.

　The only tower located within the barrier is the spiral clock tower in the center of the castle.

　The huge hands rotate clockwise inside the clock face.

　The sound of gears grinding together was all the more distinct in the still night.

　At the top of the spiral clock tower, the witch who had parked her pumpkin carriage there—the guide of fate, the fortune teller with starry eyes, the witch of the silver moon, Mitia Bartholomew—was lifting the carriage curtain, leaning half her body out of the window, and looking down at the entire castle with great interest.

　The silver moon was reflected in her eyes, shimmering with light.

　"Mitia, shall we begin?"

　Another person's voice came from inside the carriage.

　Mitia Bartholomew squinted slightly, enjoying the gentle breeze and reveling in the stirrings of the night.

　Her voice was as alluring as ever.

　people.

　"Yes, the wheel of time and space has begun to turn."

　……

　[I took my grandma to the hospital for an emergency check-up last night, and it was very late when we got back. I've finally finished writing.]

Chapter 408 Darkdemon is not a riddle teller (4k)

　The light of the Eye of the Stars shone even brighter.

　A miniature image of the entire castle gradually appeared in Mitia's eyes, and a smile appeared on her lips.

　Tonight, she was just a spectator, but that didn't stop her from immersing herself in the experience.

　In fact, most fortune tellers have a "role-playing fetish" and can easily put themselves into a certain perspective.

　"What a wonderful day this is..."

　Mitia murmured softly, her gaze sweeping around.

　The main characters and supporting characters, the heroes and villains, the lights and the stage are all in place, and it's time for the show to begin—wait!

　"Why is he here?"

　"Who?"

　Mitia's exclamation caused the other passengers in the carriage to murmur in response.

　Mitia gazed at the "stars" shining somewhere in the castle, and after a long while said, "Dark Dimon."

　……

　The entire castle was sealed off.

　All the dormitory buildings were clearly separated from the outside by a barrier.
