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

　However, the success of the entire process depends on many more factors.

　The most important of these is the fine-tuning of the direction of the ceremony.

　Only by relying on the advancement of the ritual can the ultimate success of the alchemy be ensured.

　There's not much that Dak can do at this stage; he can only hope for the natural progression of the ritual or Professor Mitia's resourcefulness.

　……

　Inside the enormous hall, a blond boy, holding a magic book, commanded magical spirits to move swiftly.

　Work.

　The others looked at his back as if they were looking at a magnificent archmage.

Chapter 418 Darkdemon Ritual Completion (4k)

　The top of the spiral clock tower.

　Mithia Bartholomew stood alone in the pumpkin carriage.

　Her eyes were closed, and she extended her right hand out of the car window. Ripples spread across the tips of each finger, with starlight constantly shimmering.

　Ever since Sylph burst out of the pumpkin carriage, Professor Mitia has been using astrology to regulate the entire ritual.

　She did her utmost to suppress the negative impact of Professor Sylph's involvement on the ritual, preventing it from mutating and allowing it to continue.

　She was well aware that she had to ensure the ceremony continued smoothly until the star representing Ophelia Brad was restored to its former glory.

　The rest is up to Professor Sylph, who has entered the ceremony, and Dark and the others who were already there.

　Fortunately, things did not continue to develop in a worse direction.

　The "magic alchemy" that had been interrupted for some unknown reason was suddenly reactivated, and everything seemed to be getting better!

　However, given the frequent unexpected events, Professor Mitis dared not let her guard down.

　She immediately took over Ophelia Brad's work, making emergency adjustments to the entire ceremony and forcibly pulling it back to its original course.

　"Finally back on track..."

　Mitia's forehead was slightly sweaty.

　Tonight's events concern Ophelia Brad's life.

　Therefore, she had consulted a divination book beforehand.

　Although the outcome of the divination is still shrouded in mystery, the overall result tends to be positive.

　I never expected so many mistakes to occur during this period.

　"Hopefully nothing bad will happen."

　……

　at the same time.

　Professor Sylph, who had transformed into the wind, had already drifted into the secret passage.

　She moved with incredible speed, overcoming all obstacles in just a few minutes and arriving outside the Demon King's castle.

　The gentle breeze paused briefly outside before rushing in, and soon entered the hall.

　Professor Sylph was astonished by the "paradise" that occupied half of the hall. But her gaze quickly shifted to the other side of the hall.

　“Dark, Witt, Robert, Tom…”

　She immediately checked on the safety of the students present, and then saw Ophelia Brad lying quietly in the center of the blood magic circle.

　"call--"

　A gentle breeze swept in.

　Professor Sylph materialized right next to Dark Dimon and immediately asked, "How is the situation?"

　……

　Dark Dimon was not surprised by Professor Sylph's appearance.

　He said with slight relief, "The final transmutation process has been reactivated, but the course of the ritual has changed."

　Professor Sylph frowned slightly and asked, "What change?"

　As Dark continued to observe the blood sacrifice, he said, "The 'Demon King' needs to enter a vessel to be reborn."

　"Demon King, vessel?" Professor Sylph glanced at him and almost immediately understood the meaning behind Dark's words.

　She couldn't help but look at the precise manipulation of blood energy.

　Bastimon, who was riding on his back, suddenly felt a mix of fear and relief.

　It was precisely because she deciphered the meaning behind Dark's words that she was able to perceive the danger involved.

　If it weren't for Dark's magical sprite possessing the "talent of blood magic" and reacting in time, Ophelia Brad would probably already be a corpse.

　In that instant, her heart pounded wildly, and it took her a long time to calm down.

　suddenly.

　The blood magic circle, almost completely redrawn with Ophelia's blood, emitted a dense crimson light from bottom to top.

　Ophelia Brad's body slowly floated up under the influence of the magic circle.

　Vittor, who had involuntarily moved closer, clenched his hands tightly with particular nervousness.

　Ryan Hex gently shook his cane, his face dark.

　The weather is unpredictable.

　Robert stood to one side the whole time, looking extremely agitated.

　飘荡

　The chanting in the air suddenly became more urgent.

　A blurry form gradually emerged from Ophelia Brad's body under the influence of the blood sacrifice.

　Although Ophelia Brad's appearance could not be discerned from that form, it was undoubtedly her soul.

　A hint of tension appeared on Dak's face.

　The following steps cannot tolerate any mistakes.

　Basdi Beast's expression was solemn; it was its first time encountering the blood sacrifice technique, and it felt as if it were walking on thin ice.

　After successfully separating Ophelia Brad's soul from her body, it drove it to merge with blood energy, becoming one with her blood.

　It merged into a thin line of blood and burrowed into the bottle containing the vampire Vlad.

　"Meow!"

　Suddenly its expression changed. After the bloodline entered the bottle, it broke free from its control and plunged into the vampire Vlad's forehead!

　The tiny baby curled up in the bottle had a mark between its eyebrows.

　A touch of blood red.

　"The forging process has begun!"

　Dak's calming voice eased the tension in Basdi Beast.

　The familiar transmutation array number one bloomed at the center of the blood magic array, instantly covering it and becoming the dominant force in the transmutation process.

　Without a doubt, the ceremony had once again entered its final stage.

　Next, simply wait quietly, and the "ritual initiation" using the entire ritual as material will begin automatically and continue until the end.

　—That was indeed the original plan.

　But that was the alchemy method for "Vlad the Vampire".

　During the forging process, Vlad the Vampire's intelligence will be eroded, turning him into a mindless magical spirit.

　Even if Ophelia Brad's soul, driven by the ritual, completely replaces the soul consciousness of "Vlad the Vampire," it will still be worn away.

　In order to preserve Ophelia Brad's sanity, Dark must add something necessary, namely "the Great Sin"!

　Although he was still unaware of the underlying principles, Dark was very clear that "great sins" could indeed help preserve one's sanity.

　The current issues are how much to add and how to extract it.

　As for the types of "great sins," "bliss" should undoubtedly be chosen.

　The compatibility between "Elysium" and vampires is undoubtedly the best.

　However, Dark did not have the Magic Brain Dropper, so he would need to use another method to extract "Elysium".

　Fortunately, he had the good habit of putting all available cards into his card wallet.

　So he reached into his card pack and pulled out a "flower card"!

　This "flower card" is decorated with poppies as fiery as fire, giving it a beauty of self-sacrifice and burning itself out.

　Dark was already quite adept at using "Hanafuda" to draw "Paradise".

　The only problem is that the "Paradise" infused with "Hanafuda" is difficult to reuse.

　However, relying on the driving force of the ritual itself, the "flower cards" put into the alchemy circle should be forcibly decomposed and absorbed.

　all in all.

　Now that the momentum has been established, the entire ceremony will propel the successful forging of the new magic card.

　Dark held the "flower cards" in his hand, pressed them with his fingers, and channeled magic into them.

　As magic was channeled in, the poppies on the flower cards suddenly burst into a fiery red light.

　Dak immediately stopped typing and then threw out the "flower card".

　"Hanafuda" can absorb "Paradise" through the transmission of magic.

　However, apart from special colors, once the absorbed "bliss" exceeds 1 point, a riot will occur.

　Therefore, Darke precisely controlled the output of "Bliss" between 0.9 and 1 point, thus suppressing the riot.

　But one "flower card" is certainly not enough.

　He looked at the alchemy array that had already swallowed the poppy "flower card," and then placed in the second and third "flower cards" infused with "bliss."

　A small amount of "Great Sin" can be used to create "Great Sin 1".

　Three "Great Sins" can be used to create "Great Sin 2".

　Ten "Great Sins" can be used to craft "Great Sin 3".

　After placing three "flower cards" in a row, Dark still felt uneasy. After careful consideration, he placed eight more "flower cards".

　In this way, a total of eleven "flower cards" were placed, and the "bliss" points included therein exceeded 10.

　Dark stopped what he was doing and put the last three "Flower Cards" back into his card pack.

　Originally, using the "Fruit of Bliss" only required seven points of "Bliss" to produce a fruit that would achieve the effect of ten points of "Bliss".

　But without the "Fruit of Bliss", one can only waste a little.

　Only after he stopped did Professor Sylph ask, "Dark, what was your purpose in putting these eleven 'Face Cards' in?"

　Dark's expression softened as he said, "To preserve Ophelia Brad's intelligence."

　Although he had a way to restore the intelligence of the magical spirits after the magic cards were successfully crafted.

　He always believed that the intelligence he gained in that way was different from the original intelligence.

　“It seems I don’t need to interfere any further.” Professor Sylph couldn’t help but smile sincerely. “The ritual has progressed to this point, and theoretically there shouldn’t be any more changes. Although the final result was somewhat different, at least Ophelia’s soul consciousness was preserved. The Demon King’s bloodline within Ophelia should have been removed with this successful completion of the ritual.”

　Dark nodded and said, "Next, we just need to wait for the ritual to end, then extract Ophelia Brad's soul consciousness from the magic card and reinject it into her body to revive her. But after that, we'll have to rely on the professors."

　"Don't worry," Professor Sylph said with relief. "This may seem difficult to others, but it's not a big deal at St. Marian's Academy. I happen to know a professor who is very proficient in this kind of soul transfer technique, and I will personally ask him for help."

　"That's good."
