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

　Moreover, it has one last killer move – “Greedy Nature”!

　Judging from the name, the ultimate move "Greedy by Nature" is clearly a manifestation of "greed," so it must be pretty good.

　[Greed by Nature: Its innate greed gives the Greedy Slime an insatiable desire. No matter the treasure, it wants more. And it always manages to find what it wants.]

　"This description... could it be another treasure hunting skill?"

　"Give it an item, and it will help you find more items of the same type?"

　Dak had a sudden realization and began to understand the concept of "inherent greed".

　Unlike the other treasure-hunting skill, "Treasure Scent," "Greed" is a powerful special skill used to find specific items. However, it requires a sample in hand that can trigger the greed of "Greedy Slime 2."

　.

　This ultimate move, if used correctly, has immense uses!

　……

　By the time "Greedy Slime 2" reverted to a trash slime, Dark had already put away the notebook and other items.

　He said goodnight to the magical spirits, then quietly put the sleeping vampire heiress into his magic card, before snuggling under the covers and slowly falling asleep while contemplating what he had gained that night.

　When I woke up the next day, the sun was already high in the sky.

　"Laziness" has increased slightly, but it's not a big problem.

　Dak spent some time dealing with routine matters, and then began preparations for his secret passage exploration.

　According to the plan, he will spend the night in the secret passage and return tomorrow afternoon or evening, so there are quite a few things to prepare.

　In addition to the necessary food and water, there were also supplies for sleeping outdoors.

　In addition, he also brought along the "Mind Bottle" and the "Magic Brain Dropper," showing that he was well-prepared.

　All of this is in order to find the statue of the moon god!

　As for why he was able to be certain that there must be another moon goddess statue in the secret passage.

　Of course, it's because the "flower cards" in his hand can still be used to absorb "Paradise"!

　The reason why "Hanafuda" can be used to absorb "Paradise" is because of the existence of the Moon God Statue.

　Normally, after the previous moon goddess statue disappeared, the special function of "Hanafuda" should also have stopped working.

　But that's not actually the case; "Hanafuda" is still working perfectly.

　From this, Dark deduced the existence of another moon statue.

　But the secret passages of St. Marian's castle are full of mystery, and even the professors cannot fully explore them. He wants to find a moon goddess statue hidden in some unknown corner, which is more difficult than climbing to the heavens.

　Although Dak had asked Professor Kazel to modify a "flower card," if the aura of the moon statue had not been leaked in the slightest, a single "flower card" would be insufficient to track it.

　Therefore, he never thought he could find the statue of the moon goddess easily from the very beginning.

　Today's adventure can also be seen as a break from academic life.

　Take your magical spirits on a spontaneous trip.

　……

　It was exactly 1 p.m.

　Dak then arrived at the entrance to the secret passage he was most familiar with with great interest.

　The entrance to the secret passage has now been resealed, but he has the access card and can move freely.

　Simply stick the key card to the wall at the entrance, and the wall melts away like water, revealing an oval entrance that can only accommodate two people.

　Dak glanced inside and then stepped inside.

　The little devilmon, which was ready to lead the charge, paused for a moment, then quickly flapped its wings and chased after it.

　Shortly after entering the secret passage, Dark paused briefly to summon the "Magical Secretary." He then had the "Magical Secretary" summon "Leomon."

　He then infused magic into the access card to activate it, opening the "map" within.

　Professor Cazell created a simple map system based on his advice.

　Using this "map", you can record the entire route you take from the moment you enter the secret passage and gradually draw it into a temporary map.

　The terrain is varied and the maps still sold in the traveler's street are outdated.

　Only a map created on the spot can ensure the accuracy of the route and allow for a quick return after venturing deep into the secret passage.

　In short, it's much more convenient.

　More than ten minutes later, Leomon appeared at the summoning of the Spellbook.

　Dak tossed the backpack to it and continued exploring on foot.

　Without the influence of that night's ceremony, the secret passage returned to normal.

　The scenery along the way is all the same.

　But Dark wasn't in a hurry.

　After walking for about an hour, he decided to rest on the spot and then took out "Elysium 3? Months" from his card pack.

　Aside from the white mandala "flower card," the item he possesses most closely related to the Moon Goddess statue is this Great Sin card, created using the Moon Goddess version of "Elysium."

　In theory, if he continues searching with this magic card in hand, and the secret passage responds to his prayers, there is a chance that the Temple of the Moon will reappear before his eyes.

　It was based on this thought that he entered the secret passage to explore.

　This led to the creation of a plan to explore secret passages twice a month.

　But now he has a new treasure-hunting tool!

　"In the name of Dark Demon, come forth—trash slime!"

　……

　After summoning "Trash Slime", Dark teased it with "Elysium 3? Moon" and then used another "Greed 3" to evolve it into "Greedy Slime 2"!

　"I don't need to explain how precious this card of grave sin is, do I?"

　Dark couldn't help but smile as he looked at the giant slime that had appeared beside him.

　"Pfft!"

　"Greedy Slime 2" nodded vigorously.

　Dark then placed "Paradise 3? Months" on its head.

　The next moment, the top of "Greedy Slime 2" dented downwards, causing the Great Sin Card to slide into its body and float in the center.

　"Greedy Slime 2" savors the aura of "Elysium 3? Moon" and exerts all its strength to unleash the effect of its ultimate move "Greedy Nature," searching for a similar aura.

　But after looking around for a while, it finally settled its gaze on Dark's card pack.

　"This is not okay."

　Dark patted his card holder and smiled helplessly; this result was largely within his expectations.

　When the Moon Statue was not within the perception range of "Greedy Slime 2", the one whose aura was most similar to "Elysium 3? Moon" was, of course, the one in his hand (Elysium 3).

　The full text is available for free online, along with those magical spirits who embody "paradise".

　"Puyo—"

　"Greedy Slime 2" slowly leaned its jelly-like, bouncy body against him, then carefully rubbed against him.

　Dark turned around and buried his face in it, shaking it wildly for a while before raising his head and continuing forward, looking refreshed.

　"Greedy Slime 2" degenerated into "Trash Slime" after fifteen minutes.

　Instead of putting it back into his magic card, Dark placed it on his shoulder and kept it with him.

　The trash slime had rarely received such treatment since its creation, and it immediately started blowing little bubbles happily.

　Feeling excited that it was gradually becoming useful.

　After about another hour's journey, the cooldown of "Greed 3" was over, and Darke let "Trash Slime" evolve into "Greedy Slime 2" again, continuing to use its "greedy nature" to explore.

　Unable to find anything, they continued onward.

　This continued until evening.

　Dark finally found a relatively spacious open space, first unfolded "Paradise", and then summoned the magical spirits one by one.

　With the help of the "Magic Book," he quickly summoned all the magical spirits.

　After that, a campfire was lit in the secret passage, and the weekend was spent with the magical elves.

　In the lighthearted songs played in "Paradise".

　The magical elves, who rarely venture out, danced in circles around the rising campfire.

　Dark looked at the cheerful faces of the magical elves, his gaze softening even more.

　That night, he laid out his sleeping bag in the "haunted house" of "Paradise" and fell asleep without any hesitation.

　……

　Silent all night.

　It's sunny and sunny.

　Dark popped his head out of his sleeping bag and looked around. He saw that all the magical spirits were curled up around him like cats, and cute dream monsters floated in the air, swaying like will-o'-the-wisps.

　It clearly hadn't slept all night.

　Dream monsters are nocturnal creatures, so they are perfect for keeping watch at night.

　After breakfast, Dark put away "Paradise" and returned the magical spirits to their magic cards one by one, leaving only Little Devil, Leomon, and Trash Slime by his side before continuing his exploration.

　By 3 p.m., after another fruitless search by "Greedy Slime 2", Dark knew that this week's exploration would end in failure.

　He did not linger in the secret passage, but instead sat on the lion's shoulder and returned the way he came at top speed.

　Using the map drawn by the door card, he finally found the exit of the secret passage before nightfall and returned to the castle.

　Although they returned empty-handed, the experience of this exploration will eventually become a memory, accumulating and bearing fruit in the future.

　And in the unknown depths of the secret passage, subtle changes were taking place because of his trip.

　Unaware of this, Dak, upon returning to his dormitory, suddenly had the idea to set up his easel and paint a "Family Portrait by the Campfire".

　Perhaps, it wasn't a complete loss.

　……

　Then, until Tuesday night, when Dark drew the "Great Sin," he always chose "Pride."

　In fact, only "arrogance" is available.

　The "greed" that had increased dramatically during the Duel Festival had reached a critical point due to the draws in the past few days.

　"Paradise" has also fallen below 95 points.

　Only the slight increase in "arrogance" after winning the championship can still be roused.

　Over four nights, I accumulated a total of 6 points of arrogance.

　Then Wednesday will arrive.

　With a hint of anticipation, Dak closed his eyes in bed.

　good night.

　……

Chapter 427 Darkdemon's Fusion Experiment (4k)

　Wednesday afternoons are a time that students look forward to, as they can take a break from their busy studies and have a good rest – this is what students think almost every Wednesday afternoon.

　But every Wednesday afternoon, many students suddenly find themselves with a mountain of homework to do, and can only wail as they go to and from the library.

　Of course, a model student like Dak, who rarely leaves homework for tomorrow, generally doesn't have this problem.

　But after his lunch break, he still went to the library.

　Pandora and Ms. Bella were chatting quietly behind the counter.
