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

　……

　She used the most decisive method to completely free herself from the demon king's control.

　From her perspective, she did her best to achieve the best of both worlds.

　……

　Dark soon discovered that his deduction was likely true.

　He gripped the "Great Prophecy" book tightly and forcefully exhaled the stale air he had inhaled.

　Perhaps it was because he knew from the beginning that the Demon King's escape was inevitable. Therefore, he didn't feel much about Ophelia Brad's actions.

　Even if Ophelia Brad hadn't done that, the Demon King would surely have found another way to escape.

　Whether they were rescued by a heretical cult, by remnants of the demon race, or by a traitor within the Holy Church, it didn't make much difference.

　He observed the matter largely from the perspective of an detached spectator.

　Now, it just feels rather tragic that a hero from the same era as my mother ended up like this.

　Is there any possibility of salvaging the situation?

　He looked down at Witt, whose sobs were growing fainter but whose grief was growing stronger, and his thoughts were racing faster than ever before.

　……

　"Dimon, what are you thinking about?" Ryan Hex asked, noticing Dark's deep thought.

　However, Dark did not intend to tell Ryan Harker the results of his deductions.

　Ryan Hex is not a qualified...

　The archmage is probably less accomplished than this first-year student in terms of theoretical knowledge of magic, so there's no need for him to communicate with the archmage.

　Having shunned Ryan Harker's influence, Dark turned and walked around the area, his gaze eventually settling on the bottle floating above the magic circle.

　"Leaving aside the impact of the 'Great Prophecy' on reality, let's focus solely on the ritual itself."

　"Ophelia Brad died as the 'Demon Lord,' and in her place was the 'Demon Lord' who possessed numerous vessels, capable of being reborn within them upon death!"

　"And Vlad the vampire was one of the vessels used by that 'Demon King'."

　Dak suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

　The ceremony is not over yet, and nothing is set in stone.

　The question now is how to allow Ophelia Brad to be reborn within the vessel of the vampire Vlad?

　Dark lowered his head and racked his brains.

　He lacked the necessary knowledge and was far from capable of fine-tuning the course of the ceremony like Ophelia Brad did.

　In this situation, all he could think of was to follow the original course of the ritual and add Ophelia Brad to the creation of the "Vampire Vlad" magic card.

　However, the transmutation of "Vlad the Vampire" was not activated.

　And is it really possible to transform Ophelia Brad into a magical spirit?

　On the surface alone, this is undoubtedly a taboo among taboos.

　Even if it disregards taboos.

　Can Ophelia Brad really accept being transformed into a magical elf?

　Normally, during the process of being transformed into a magical spirit, her intelligence is also worn away.

　unless……

　"Magic Book!"

　The "Magic Secretary" that had been floating beside him immediately flew into his hand.

　Dark picked up the "Magic Book" and quickly flipped through it.

　After mastering the "Magical Book," he used the "Automatic Book" ability to record a great deal of knowledge in this magical book.

　It contains a large amount of early childhood education content, as well as all the contents of the book "Blood Sacrifice," which is the original form of the "Magic Book."

　The so-called "blood sacrifice" method involves using the blood of animals, monsters, humans, and various other types of blood.

　As energy, it is transformed into powerful force through blood magic, and then used for casting spells, summoning... and even forging weapons.

　Originally a type of blood magic, it can be used as a high-end method for extracting materials when applied to magical techniques.

　The only problem is that Blood Sacrifice is inherently taboo.

　Because when a blood sacrifice is performed on a living being, the living being's soul is usually sacrificed along with it, and the blood energy extracted in this way is evil and filthy.

　But this is exactly the effect that Dark wanted.

　Blood and corpses, who meets their end?

　The opening statement of "Blood Sacrifice" is sufficient to clarify the nature of this book.

　Dark flipped to the page he needed in the "Magic Book," quickly glanced through it, and then suddenly looked up, his gaze fixed on the blood magic circle beneath the glass bottle.

　"The same, exactly the same magic circle!"

　Although the outer ring of this blood magic circle has a more complex circuit, the inner circle's magic circle is exactly the same as one of the magic circles recorded in the book.

　Dak realized he had found the right path.

　"Witt!"

　……

　Dak’s sudden call brought Witt up from his grief; his eyes were red and his cheeks were streaked with tears.

　Dark quickly said, "I have a compromise that can save your mother's life. Are you willing to take the risk?"

　These extremely abrupt words left Witt Gold bewildered.

　He asked blankly, "Really?"

　Dark nodded solemnly: "Really."

　Witt suddenly realized what was happening.

　Despite being utterly baffled by Dark's decision to revive Ophelia Brad after killing her.

　But Witt couldn't care less about that at the moment.

　He quickly wiped away his tears and asked in a panic, "What should I do?"

　Dark pointed to the blood magic circle beneath the glass bottle and said, "First, move Ophelia Brad's body here..."

　In this world, an individual's life consists of three parts: soul, body, and consciousness.

　According to Professor Kazel.

　Both the soul and the body are vessels of consciousness.

　The meaning of death is the extinction of consciousness.

　We bury the body in the ground, and it will decompose there.

　Bury the remains of the soul in the wind, and it will vanish in the wind.

　Only the death of consciousness (mind) is true death.

　Ophelia Brad's "death" occurred during a ritual, and her soul and consciousness did not perish under the protection of the ritual.

　"I will use a blood sacrifice to transfer Ophelia Brad's soul through blood..."

　Extract it, and take this opportunity to...

　The free full text is available to read as the story unfolds towards "The Demon King's Resurrection," attempting to reactivate the pre-set alchemy process.

　"If all goes well, Vlad the vampire's soul will be taken away by Ophelia Brad."

　"Just like a demon king being reborn in a vessel, completely replacing the original soul and consciousness of the vessel."

　"After successful forging, Ophelia Brad's soul will be temporarily stored in the magic card."

　"Of course, in order to protect her soul and consciousness from being eroded, I will add some necessary things during the alchemy process."

　"After that, we need to preserve Ophelia Brad's body."

　"If the soul, consciousness, and body are all present, the possibility of complete resurrection is preserved."

　As he moved, Dak quickly explained, finally asking, "Did you understand?"

　Witt Gold shook his head blankly.

　Dark was silent for a while, then turned to look at Bastimon: "Did you understand?"

　Basty smiled charmingly: "I understood a little bit."

　“That’s good.” Dark nodded. “Your time is running out. We must complete the blood sacrifice before the fusion is broken. Do as I say.”

　Basdi nodded slightly.

　Dark then said to Witt, "Put the body down and then move away."

　Witt carefully placed Ophelia Brad's body in the center of the blood magic circle, then reluctantly retreated.

　The fluid flowing within the magic circle exuded an aura like blood.

　Typical red light.

　Ophelia Brad's body lay flat in the center of the magic circle. Her pale skin, transformed into a vampire, appeared even more translucent under the red light.

　Dak bent down, reached under the back of her head, and began to lift her hair from the back of her neck, then gathered it into a bunch and placed it on her chest.

　Even when lying down, her still-prominent mountain peaks were hidden beneath her long, blood-red hair.

　When Dak looked up, he glanced at Ophelia Brad's face. Her pale, bloodless face was delicate and exquisite, possessing a kind of pale, ethereal beauty.

　He took a deep breath: "Basdimon, hurry up!"

　……

　Under Dark's command, Bastimon arrived at the edge of the Blood Magic Circle.

　Ophelia Brad's chest wound had long ago been in its...

　The bleeding was completely stopped under control, but the bloodstained wound was still horrific.

　Basti pointed a finger, tearing open a small opening in the wound, then injected magic power, causing Ophelia Brad's blood to...

　Restart the loop.

　The blood gradually began to flow

　As his heart resumed beating, a trickle of blood was drawn from the small opening, amidst the Bastimon's movements.

　Under control, it flowed into the blood magic circle.

　Holding the "Magic Book," Dark meticulously explained the function of the magic circle.

　The method of control.

　Basti was completely focused and followed his instructions flawlessly.

　Controlling the blood

　It was integrated into the circuit of the blood magic circle.

　The circuits of the magic circle gradually lit up, and a faint, plaintive chanting suddenly arose.

　Dak's expression softened, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

　The circuits surrounding the outer edge of this magic circle were indeed set up to initiate a blood sacrifice.

　Now that the magic circle has been successfully activated, the outer loop has begun to automatically chant spells.

　The entire blood sacrifice ritual was finally on track.

　Next, we will have to rely on Bastimon's control over blood energy.

　The control force added "Ophelia Brad" to the list of materials for the blood sacrifice.

　It is not difficult.

　As long as Bastimon is there!
