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

　However, the "Ditto" is already a six-star monster with a magic power, attack, and defense of up to 2500 points. Even in its normal transformation, it is no less powerful than a typical six-star magical spirit.

　As the "transformation" intensifies, the outline of "Ditto" becomes increasingly clear.

　That was none other than Dark Deemon, who was five meters tall!

　Amidst the gasps of the audience, Ditto reached out and grabbed the Mask of the Demon, which was bound by the Soul Ring of the Underworld, and covered its face with it.

　Even if it cannot be truly "equipped", the "Demon's Mask" can always filter out the "poisonous smoke".

　The "snuff demon" was already deeply mired in the "poisonous smoke"!

　……

Chapter 669 Request for Subscription: Darkdemon and the Brain Fluid Demon

　The cheers from the spectators outside the stadium continued unabated.

　Urgent cries could already be heard from the ring road.

　Staff activated emergency measures immediately, resulting in two contrasting scenes inside and outside the building.

　As Dark Dimon faced the terrifying monster that lunged at him like a giant serpent, he only murmured, "Tyrant!"

　The Blue-Eyed Tyrant Young Dragon instantly flapped its wings and pounced on the terrifying monster.

　The two clashed almost in the middle of the arena, with the "Blue-Eyes Tyrant Baby Dragon" still in a state of rage. Even though its violent aura could not be contained, it retained the most basic rationality.

　But that terrifying monster was not weak either... It was not torn in two on the spot by the "Blue-Eyes Tyrant Baby Dragon"!

　"Roar!"

　The enraged roar of the "Blue-Eyes Tyrant Young Dragon" resounded, and a deep claw mark appeared on the terrifying monster's body. But it did not retreat in the slightest; instead, it continued to charge forward, enduring the "Blue-Eyes Tyrant Young Dragon's" ferocious onslaught.

　After losing almost half of its body, the monster managed to break through the "Blue-Eyes Tyrant Young Dragon's" barrier, roaring as it lunged at Dark Dimon—before crashing headfirst into the outer barrier of the arena.

　A faint, cold smile appeared on Dark's lips.

　He raised his gaze slightly, meeting the monster's eyes, savoring the despair within.

　The returning "Blue-Eyes Tyrant Baby Dragon" dragged it away and crushed it!

　……

　In the blink of an eye.

　Staff rushed onto the contestant's platform and forcefully subdued Fern Morse, who was suffering from a splitting headache.

　The impromptu host immediately used a voice audible only to those inside the arena to maintain order. Meanwhile, staff members who rushed onto the red team's platform inquired about his safety and then led him off the stage.

　After all, it was a magic academy, and the students were extremely quick to learn. The exclamations quickly subsided, replaced by hushed whispers of discussion.

　The audience outside the venue only saw the two contestants exchanging greetings, promoting the spirit of "friendship first, competition second," and then smiling as they left the stage.

　Although it's a bit strange, it's manageable to some extent.

　The commotion quickly subsided, and the duel continued in an orderly fashion. However, the participants were clearly distracted and lacked focus.

　At the same time.

　Dark was led to the lounge, where Inya Knight, the club's manager, rushed over. She stopped abruptly upon seeing him, calmly saying, "Hello, nice to meet you. I am Inya Knight, the manager of the Duel Club."

　“Hello, I’m Dark Dimon from the House of Nobles.” Dark didn’t seem to care much.

　He casually asked, "What about senior Fern Morse? How is he?"

　Inya Knight sat down opposite him and said with a slightly serious expression, "He has already been sent to the infirmary. We deduce that he has been parasitized by some kind of filth."

　“Hmm.” Dark nodded.

　Inya Knight then asked, "Do you have any leads on Fern Morse's matter?"

　Dak laughed and said, "I'd like to have some ideas too."

　Inya Knight said with slight disappointment, "Then we can only wait for the professors' investigation results. I really didn't expect something like this to happen at the end of November. You know what? If our judgment is correct, and Fern Morse is parasitized by a monster, then there are two possibilities."

　Dak listened patiently.

　Inia Knight said, "One type is that he was parasitized from the beginning of the school year, and the other type is that he was parasitized after he enrolled."

　Dark: "Like, did we eat breakfast this morning, or didn't we eat breakfast?"

　Inya Knight shrugged. "That's how it is."

　There is no third possible choice between the two.

　Dark asked, "So which possibility do you hope is better?"

　Inya Knight shook her head and said, "Neither possibility is good, because monsters have already entered the academy. You should make some preparations; if I'm not mistaken, there might be a large-scale investigation soon."

　She then stood up and said, "I've heard that things like this aren't uncommon during wartime, but I didn't expect to encounter them in peacetime. However, with the professors here, everything will be alright. You are free to move around as you wish. If anything happens, we or the professors will notify you using your Sorting Card."

　“Okay,” Darke said, standing up as well. “I have another reservation today.”

　With that, the two walked out of the lounge one after the other, and then parted to the sides.

　As soon as Dak stepped out, he took out the "access card" for the secret passage from his card holder. This thing had been vibrating for a while.

　Clicking on the card revealed, as expected, a message from Pandora.

　He replied "No problem," and was immediately surrounded by Diana, Rose, Doron, and others.

　The second-year students from the aristocratic academy gathered around him, chattering excitedly. Some asked with concern if he was hurt, while others, bursting with curiosity, inquired what had happened to Fern Morse.

　Dak said he was fine while wearing the same bewildered expression.

　But he genuinely had no idea what had happened to Fern Morse!

　The only plausible possibility he can think of right now is "Netherworld Fire".

　However, the "Netherworld Fire" did not manifest in this way, and he did not detect even the slightest trace of the "Netherworld Fire".

　Furthermore, considering Fern Morse's current state, he may be experiencing something related to demons, which is somewhat similar to what Robert Broheim experienced last year.

　But Vlad the vampire inside Robert was reborn from a secret passage, so where did the monster inside Fern Morse come from?

　With the secret passage partially sealed, the probability of something else happening is actually quite low.

　"I'm also completely baffled by this matter. My personal suggestion is to patiently wait for the professors' investigation results."

　Dark raised his voice slightly to steady the students of the Noble Academy before continuing.

　"It's nothing serious. Just in case, try not to go to secluded places alone, especially at night. I know there are quite a few people who still wander around after curfew."

　As they were talking, someone complained, "Ha, Dak, why are you talking like a professor more and more!"

　Dark replied, "Because I was originally the professor of first-year arithmetic."

　The student had only said it casually, and was immediately silenced, letting out a dry laugh.

　His classmate next to him nudged his kidneys with a mischievous look.

　They then gradually dispersed after leaving the contestant passage, until only a few familiar faces and classmates remained.

　Dark glanced at the large bag on Diana's back and reminded her, "Aren't you going on another dungeon adventure?"

　"Oh, right?" Diana smacked her lips, suddenly deciding she didn't want to go anymore.

　Rose said, "We really have to go."

　Dark said, "Don't worry, it's nothing. As for Doron and Pistan, I have to go to Travelers' Street next, I don't have much time..."

　"Haha, we're busy too," Pistan said tactfully.

　As he spoke, he pulled Doron up and immediately started yo-yoing him.

　Dark felt a little heartwarming and said to the remaining Diana and Rose, "Be careful when entering the dungeon. If you encounter anything you can't solve, learn to activate the dungeon escape device."

　"Alright, alright, you're acting like a mother." Diana immediately grabbed Rose's wrist and ran off.

　Dark shook his head helplessly, then turned and walked toward the Fantastic Beasts Club.

　Upon arriving at the Magical Beasts Club, he released his magical spirits one by one, recalling his duel with Fern Morse, and realized that he still lacked the means to special summon high-level magical spirits.

　If you only use sacrifice to summon high-star magical spirits, you will have to sacrifice the time of low-star magical spirits in your daily life to summon them.

　Even if we don't consider it for magical duels, we still need some kind of ritual summoning method.

　He pondered for a while in the clubroom, and then received a notification from Professor Sylph.

　"come yet?"

　Looking at the letter in the sorting card, Dark returned the little Guhuoniao that was snuggling in his arms to Milk Pot's hands, and then left the clubroom.

　He soon arrived at the infirmary.

　Sister Carlian, the "school doctor," is busy inside.

　Professor Sylph and Professor Cazell were talking in the outer room.

　Dark pushed open the door and entered, asking, "What's going on?"

　Professor Sylph remained as stern as ever.

　But a hint of seriousness was clearly visible on Professor Cazell's face.

　"Is there a big problem?" Dark found a stool, sat down, and asked.

　Professor Cazell nodded and said, "The preliminary diagnosis indicates a recent implantation, likely in late September or late October. A reasonable guess is that the perpetrator may have taken action after adapting to the academy for a period of time. Fern Morse may not be the only victim."

　Dark asked curiously, "So what exactly is that monster?"

　Professor Kazel then said calmly, "Brain Fluid Demons are a special kind of demon that parasitizes the human brain. I thought they had completely disappeared with the end of the war. I never expected to see them again in the academy after so many years."

　"The brain fluid demon?" Dark couldn't help but wonder.

　The Brain Fluid Demon is a species that is almost an elemental life form.

　They feed on the mind, and their excrement stimulates the nerves, making the host more emotionally agitated. However, they also have stimulant-like effects, further enhancing magical abilities and physical prowess.

　During wartime, the demon race would even implant brain fluid demons into the brains of some elites, making them fearless of pain, constantly excited, and tireless.

　Moreover, the power of the brain fluid demons should not be underestimated; they also absorb the power of thought to continue growing.

　When the host's emotions become abnormally agitated, the power of the brain fluid demon will temporarily surge.

　If the parasite is seriously injured or mentally deranged, the brain fluid demon will devour the parasite, break free, and become an even more terrifying monster.

　Although this terrifying monster only lasts for 24 hours, it has caused enormous losses to humanity.

　For this reason, after the war ended, humanity completely wiped out the Brain Fluid Demons, and even destroyed all the data on how to create them.

　To see a brain-fluid demon now, after the war is over, is even more astonishing than seeing a vampire.

　Professor Cazell said, "Not only that, that brain fluid demon has clearly undergone post-modification, making it less stimulating to the brain and more stealthy. It's almost completely integrated with the brain structure. Even with brain-penetrating vision, it's difficult to detect. If it weren't for Fern Morse's excessive emotional fluctuations that forced it to appear, it would have continued to lurk."

　Dark frowned slightly and asked, "Then how were they discovered during the war?"

　Professor Kazel said, “Through a mental fluctuation. We can create a magical artifact that can release mental fluctuations. By adjusting the frequency of the fluctuations to a certain point, we can stimulate the brain fluid demons and cause them to hatch prematurely. But you know, this method cannot be used within the academy.”

　Will it hatch?

　Darke expressed his understanding: "Then isn't there a gentler approach?"

　Professor Cazell shook his head, somewhat regretfully saying, "I didn't really study the Brain Fluid Demon during the war, otherwise I might have been able to find something. But given the current situation, since you destroyed the Brain Fluid Demon's main body, it's difficult to investigate much information about the roots remaining in Fern Morse's brain. Therefore, I can't find a better method for the time being."

　Dark frowned slightly and asked, "Can't we start with the ones being parasitized? I mean, let them tell us themselves?"

　Professor Cazell said, "We'll have to wait until Fern Morse wakes up to know for sure. After all, everything we're saying right now is just speculation. Maybe he was already infected before he even enrolled."

　But before he could finish speaking, Sister Kallian came out and said, "Kazeel, Morse is awake."

　"Looks like it's our turn." Professor Cazell smiled, appearing somewhat composed.

　Professor Sylph said, "If Fern Morse was parasitized after enrolling, we need to speed things up. His exposure was definitely unexpected, and if the other party felt that exposure was inevitable, then anything is possible."

　Professor Kazel said, "I will do it as soon as possible."

　Then all four of them went into the inner room.
