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

　After its attack failed, the rabbit quickly returned.

　Dak watched the scene before him with great interest.

　"Tianyuan Rabbit, come back quickly!"

　Rose called out quickly.

　Dak murmured.

　Although it was Diana who was dressed as a ghost, her companion was the real ghost—that's where the drama comes in, isn't it?

　Diana is dueling with someone, and Rose is openly watching from the sidelines—so, what is Rose's identity?

　"Could it be a ghost?"

　A series of questions popped into Dark's mind as he looked at the unknown person dressed in an squid suit.

　Then, he saw the unknown person summon a very familiar magical spirit in anger—the Three-Eyed Squid!

　But if that's the case, how miserable would the person who dueled with Diana be?

　"But come to think of it, why does that squid suit look so familiar?"

　Rose whispered, "It's alright, Diana challenged someone to a duel."

　Dark: "Hmm."

　"It's really him!"

　Dark approached Rose and asked, "What happened?"

　"Up there?" Darke looked up.

　But the ceiling was completely solid, with no holes whatsoever.

　Dark suddenly realized that he hadn't actually considered that Diana would be the one to be dueled from the beginning.

　Rose continued, "Hasn't it been more than half an hour? Diana has been looking for someone to duel. Just now, while she was exploring a resource point, she failed to solve a puzzle, and then that squid suddenly fell down from above!"

　Dark opened his mouth involuntarily, almost shattering his cool and handsome vampire image.

　Rose continued, "He didn't seem very strong, so Diana asked him to test the waters, and that's how it happened."

　However, after the initial incident on the bridge, he learned that there was a type of trap that could cause someone to fall straight through the floor.

　"This is just too unlucky!"

　Third grade, male.

　The squid of the former marine religious order.

　Darko:

　Scott Hephaestus.

　Dark had a fairly good understanding of Scott's abilities.

　The fact that Scott was able to fight Diana to a standstill shows that his skills have improved.

　Current member of the Marine Biology Research Department.

　Incidentally, the head of the Marine Biology Research Department is Wittgold.

　As for Scott, there should be no room for him to hold back.

　Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that Diana was holding back.

　After all, the masquerade ball has only just begun. If we go all out now, won't we just end up lying down later?

　But because of this, Scott looked particularly disheveled.

　Another half minute passed.

　Less than two minutes after arriving in Dak, Scott was already at a significant disadvantage.

　Since the shield that measures "health points" is on the duelist, you can dodge the opponent's magical spirit attacks by running.

　Scott, who had been tackled to the ground, lay there like a dried-out squid on the beach, staring at the ceiling with a look of utter despair.

　The energy count of the barrier around him exceeded 2000 points, and the duel ended.

　Scott was finally tackled by Diana's magical sprite—Dark couldn't understand why Scott would choose such a bulky squid suit.

　"We lost, we lost"

　However, she didn't look at her Sorting Card at all, clearly not caring much about the credits she would gain after winning the duel.

　Perhaps she didn't think that much about it at all.

　"yeah!"

　Diana, on the other hand, showed an excited expression.

　"It really is a ghost."

　Dak could almost picture Scott's agonizing screams when he checked his credits a little while later.

　But at that moment, Rose picked up her Sorting Card and winked at Dark.

　The meaning is self-evident.

　Dark's lips twitched, and he quickly turned around.

　But before he could escape, two people emerged from the other side of the passage.

　He gloated quite frankly, then said to Rose, "Since everything's alright, I'll be going now. I don't want to be your next target."

　Rose pursed her lips, but the corners of her mouth turned up slightly. She scratched at Dark and said, "I'll come find you when it's almost over."

　31/127

　But it was Victor and Robert!

　Good evening! I successfully finished writing 9,000 words by midnight! Including what I wrote all night, that makes 15,000 words! Goodnight, sleep well, and when I rise again, I'll be a living person again.

Chapter 634 [Vote Requested] Vampires Unleash a Bloodbath (9k)

　The ordinary monsters on the fourth floor of the castle are generally around four or five stars, and will never exceed the second tier.

　Therefore, the top students in the second year are already capable of exploring the fourth floor.

　Given that a four-star ghost provides twice the credits of a three-star ghost, most top students would give it a try.

　If you can hold your ground on the fourth floor, you'll definitely earn more credits.

　Each four-star ghost provides 60 credits, which is equivalent to the reward of six classes.

　The students seemed to have endless motivation just thinking about this.

　Diana and Rose were like that.

　The same is true for Witt and Robert.

　Therefore, their meeting at the stairwell was hardly a coincidence.

　Victor paused for a moment, then quickly ran to Scott's side and helped him up.

　"Scott, are you alright?"

　Witt and Robert also came upon hearing the commotion.

　Although they arrived a little late and did not witness the duel between Diana and Scott, the current situation was quite clear.

　"It's just that I was a bit unlucky."

　That was really bad luck!

　"it's okay no problem."

　Scott sighed.

　His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly took out his college card to check his credits.

　In that instant, his already rather dejected expression completely fell.

　Witt glanced discreetly at the people present and whispered, "Is Diana a werewolf or a vampire?"

　Scott instinctively replied, "How would I know? I could know."

　Victor's eyelids twitched, then he glanced sharply at Diana, Rose, and Dark, immediately standing up and saying, "Since you're alright, Robert and I will head out first. Time at the masquerade ball is precious; every minute counts for credits, so we have to hurry. Good luck, senior! Let's get this done!"

　Before he could finish speaking, he took a few steps back in Scott's astonished gaze, grabbed Robert, and started yo-yoing!

　Seeing that his expression was off, Witt quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

　Scott's lips trembled as he spoke: "Gone! A quarter of my credits are gone!"

　In the blink of an eye, the two had run quite a distance.

　But suddenly a scream rang out, and Witt felt his feet slip, his entire body plummeting from the fourth floor directly to the third.

　Robert looked completely bewildered, shouting as he ran, "Why are you running, Witt?"

　Witt said in a deep voice, "Why so many questions? Just run!"

　Robert, who thankfully avoided the trap, was also in a state of utter frustration.

　Without Witt, he would have a hard time moving around the fourth floor on his own.

　He steadied himself amidst the turbulence, looked up at the black hole rapidly disappearing from the floor, his face blank.

　"We have to climb up from the third floor again."

　"w(Д)w ahhh!"

　Robert took off running.

　As he was pondering, he suddenly felt a tingling sensation on the back of his shoulder, followed by a gust of cold wind brushing against the back of his neck, and a rustling sound reaching his ears.

　He shivered violently, slowly turned around, and saw a rotting face.

　However, Dak and his two companions ignored them.

　"I guess they stepped into some kind of trap?"

　The screams from Witt and Robert made Scott's expression change drastically. He quickly got up and chased after them, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

　Dak smiled, turned around and left.

　When he returned to the stairwell, he pondered for a moment and then stepped onto the stairs.

　Thinking this, Dark said to Diana and Rose, "I'm going up to the fifth floor. Be careful."

　“No problem.” Diana looked up at him, patting her chest loudly.

　Dark popped a candy into his mouth and then urged the magical elves to speed up.

　But as he passed the corner of the stairs, he suddenly had an extremely slight feeling of something passing through him, and his nerves, which had relaxed slightly, instantly tightened to their limit.

　Generally speaking, staircases are a relatively safe place, and ghosts that are restricted to certain floors rarely approach them.

　Although there are many unexpected traps in today's masquerade ball, even if a black hole trap were set in this corridor, it would probably be meaningless, right?

　"Yao Mi?" The little dream demon spun around in the air and tilted its head.

　Dark frowned and carefully observed his surroundings, but found nothing unusual.

　Gatomon and Sylveon sensed something was wrong and immediately stopped.

　"Hmm?" Little Devimon asked in confusion.

　"Then continue!"

　Dak took a deep breath and chose to go forward over returning.

　He hesitated for a moment before asking, "Have you found anything?"

　After observing for a moment, Devimon and Gatomon both shook their heads.

　The monsters this year are noticeably stronger than last year.

　Last year, groups of three-star ghosts could be seen all the way up to the fifth floor, but this year they are rarely seen on the fourth floor. Perhaps groups of five-star ghosts will appear on the fifth floor.
