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

　Even the sphere of light that released the "Sunny Day" was completely swallowed up.

　Dark lost sight of the darkness once again.

　"Bah!"

　Eevee immediately let out an angry cry.

　Dark said gravely, "Even a clear day can't completely dispel the darkness? Will using the 'Kaguya Orb' result in the same thing?"

　At this moment, the fox demon protecting him suddenly said, "But we've already seen it!"

　“Indeed, seeing it once is enough.” Dark’s lips curled up slightly as he pulled out a new magic card from his card pack.

　He asked, "So, are you ready, Youkomon?"

　The fox-like beast perked up and immediately replied, "Of course!"

　"In that case."

　Dark placed the magic card between his index and middle fingers and slashed it forward sharply.

　"Swipe the card, evolve!"

　……

　"Yokomon" evolved into "Nine-Tailed Foxmon" amidst the glory of "Elysium III"!

　A golden fox with nine tails suddenly raised its chin amidst the scattered light, and blue flames suddenly rose from the tips of its tails and feet.

　Its forehead and the upper part of its limbs are covered with Tai Chi patterns, which symbolize "Tao".

　The two antennae on its neck resemble colorful ribbons used in rituals, with tips that look like golden bells.

　Once it had finished evolving, it immediately turned around and pounced on Dark, giving him a quick lick on the face!

　Knowing better, Dak took a half step back, only getting licked and not being knocked down.

　"Now is not the time to make trouble."

　He said it very calmly.

　"Since that monster is hiding in a dark corner and doesn't dare to come out, then we'll bomb it until it has no choice but to come out."

　The Nine-Tailed Fox Beast turned around somewhat reluctantly, facing the dark corner once more.

　Then, it began to gather its strength.

　Blue fireballs emerged one after another from the tips of its nine tails.

　Under Dark's command, it simultaneously released "Ghost Fire Orb" and "Fox Flame Dragon"!

　"boom!"

　Nine blue fireballs surrounded the giant blue fire dragon and blasted towards the corner.

　Although the fireballs and fire dragons lost all sound and light once they disappeared into the darkness, scorching waves of heat still spewed out from the darkness.

　In the eerily quiet environment, the Nine-Tailed Fox Beast's attacks were indeed causing damage to the monster hiding in the darkness.

　Dark squinted to observe, then decisively ordered: "Next shot, Fox Strike!"

　"Eek!" The Nine-Tailed Fox Beast suddenly raised its head and unleashed blue lightning at the center where the giant monster was located.

　The brief rumble of thunder ceased abruptly after the lightning pierced the darkness.

　Dark immediately said, "It's time! Let it taste the power of the 'Heavenly Dog'!"

　The Nine-Tailed Fox Beast stood up on its four limbs, and the blue flames beneath its feet rose violently, condensing together with the flames all over its body into a terrifying energy ball.

　When the energy within that energy sphere reached its peak, the Nine-Tailed Fox Beast hurled it into that dark corner.

　Darkness swallowed the orb of light.

　But the flames generated after the "Tengu" exploded broke through the darkness.

　A tremendous roar erupted completely after a brief silence.

　The floor beneath our feet shook.

　Although the darkness was not dispelled, the effects of silence and light suppression were already riddled with holes.

　Dark comforted the exhausted Nine-Tailed Fox Beast, patiently waiting for the tentacle monster's reaction.

　But a minute later, two minutes later, the aftershocks of the "Tengu" had subsided, and still no ghosts emerged from the darkness.

　Dark put the Nine-Tailed Fox Beast back into his magic card, then grabbed the Impmon from his shoulder and said, "Understood?"

　"Understood..." Little Devimon replied, flapping its wings and flying over.

　Then it disappeared back into the darkness.

　Less than half a second.

　It popped out again.

　The earlier dejection has completely disappeared.

　Seeing its excited expression, Dak guessed the likely outcome.

　But the little devil's eyes darted around and it darted back inside.

　But not long after.

　A considerable number of credits were added to Dak's Sorting Card!

　The darkness lingered even after the giant monster died.

　……

　After a while.

　The little devilmon flew out, clutching a handful of candy and a deep blue gem.

　After handing the candy and gems from its paws to Dark, it proudly declared, "Little Devimon, you've killed a seven-star monster!"

　While Little Devimon was repeatedly proclaiming this, Dark counted the number of candies and then checked the gem.

　This gem is the size of a palm and extremely heavy.

　The gemstone seemed to have liquid flowing inside, and if you brought it close to your ear, you could hear the sound of ocean waves.

　However, its aura was not pure; it was mixed with a dark aura that Dark was more familiar with.

　"Dark attribute + Water attribute?"

　Dak frowned.

　Logically, such an energy-rich gem should be an excellent material for creating magical spirits. However, he couldn't immediately imagine a target with dark and water attributes.

　"I'll keep it safe for now and look at it later; it might come in handy eventually. Even if it doesn't work out, I'll just go with the random selection... It's been a long time since I've tried my luck."

　Thinking of this, Dark's brows relaxed.

　He put away all the jewels and candies, looked up at Devimon and said, "Calm down, it's time to continue."

　"Yammie—" The little dream demon suddenly circled around from behind Dark to the front, then squeezed out an antenna and pointed in the direction behind him.

　Darke instantly became alert: "Could it be another 'ghost'?"

　It's not a "ghost".

　An older student walked out in the direction the little dream demon had pointed.

　He said in a low voice, "It seems you've successfully captured this resource point. What a pity."

　……

Chapter 636 [Daily Subscription Requested] Darkdemon's Encounter with the Fairy Princess (10k)

　"Could it be a fairy?"

　Dak calmed down and examined the area carefully.

　The senior student in front of me was wearing a dark blue tuxedo and shiny leather shoes.

　In short, his attire below the neck was very formal, but above the neck, the hannya mask with two red blushes painted on it was beyond words. Secondly, his hair was dyed with some kind of dye, roughly seven colors mixed together, and it even emitted a fluorescent glow!

　Based solely on this attire, Dark was quite certain that this person was definitely not a senior from the Academy of Noble Families.

　Otherwise, he absolutely could not have been completely unaware of it.

　The magical spirit accompanying this senior is a "demon" that wears the same Hannya mask as him!

　Apart from that, its body was completely covered in a large robe, making it difficult to identify its species.

　However, unlike the senior's own mask, the Hannya mask worn by his magical elf did not have any messy red blush. The entire mask was ferocious and terrifying, as if it were directly grown on his face.

　The magical elf had two sharp horns on either side of its head, and its hair was unusually thick.

　"I just happened to run into the same resource point as you. According to the rule of first come, first served, it belongs to you. So, I just stood by and watched for a while."

　In other words.

　"Don't worry, I'm not a fairy."

　Seeing the wary look in Dark's eyes, the senior chuckled softly:

　But Darkl quickly realized the problem.

　According to the senior student's implication, he had been observing from the sidelines for some time.

　If Dark fails to capture this resource point, he will take over.

　This doesn't seem wrong at first glance.

　Generally speaking, this situation only occurs between two parties with a significant difference in strength.

　Dark realized he might have met his match.

　But if he hadn't walked out on his own, Dark wouldn't have even noticed his presence.

　Moreover, unlike the previous ghost senior, he didn't seem to use any stealth-type ultimate techniques!

　Dark smiled and said, "But there are occasional times when you really want to know. Wasn't the original purpose of a masquerade ball to facilitate social interaction?"

　“Haha, you’re right.” The senior finally said, “Fifth-year Fools’ House, remember my name—Fernmores, a name destined to shock the world.”

　He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "May I ask who you are, senior?"

　But the senior student still chuckled in that unpleasant tone, "This is a masquerade ball. Isn't it common sense at a masquerade ball not to ask about someone's identity?"

　As Dark watched Fernmores leisurely walk away, he couldn't help but ponder.

　There was no conflict between the two sides, and Fernmores did not show much malice.

　"A fifth-grade Fool's House actually has someone like this?"

　Such a person should be outstanding, and it's impossible that he's still penniless.

　Unless, he only recently acquired the capital necessary to bring about such a change!

　Dark did not intend to start a duel lightly before understanding the opponent's strength.

　But judging from Fernmores' self-introduction, he is certainly not someone who can bear loneliness.

　Opportunities like this year's masquerade ball, which offer a large number of academic credits, are rare and precious.

　"There are about five hours left until midnight. The competition for resource points will get increasingly fierce, so we need to step up our game!"

　"Never mind, there will definitely be more opportunities to observe him in the future."

　Dak shook his head and refocused his attention on the masquerade ball activities.

　After making a quick decision, he called the magical spirits to continue onward.

　After recalling Renamon and Magicmon: Eevee, he was left with only Leomon, Sabercab, Impmon, Spellbook, and Misdreavus.

　Dak opened his branch card, clicked on the 3D resource map, and then continued to select resource points on the sixth floor.

　"This one?"

　But at this point, his lack of high-level magical spirits became increasingly apparent.

　As a result, apart from Sylveon and Gatomon, the only four-star Magical Pokémon left is Miltank.
