Chapter 117 Dark Demon's Lust Overflows
***Edited by Kronost***
Allegorical stories are always thought-provoking.
But if the story is based on the people around you, it won't feel so pleasant.
Dark drank a glass of apple juice, opened the door, and quietly left his dormitory.
He still had a lot to do, and he couldn't excuse himself because of a little sadness.
The tower—at three o'clock in the morning— was finally silent, and there was no other sound in the corridor.
Dark stepped on the stairs leading to the upper floor for the first time. The sound of his footsteps seemed to coincide with his heartbeat, spreading all the way to the eighth floor.
The eighth floor of the tower is the dueling practice room, and the upper floor is the observatory.
After students progress to their second year in Saint Marian Academy, they form their own clubs; and the Dueling Club is one of them.
The dueling practice room on the eighth floor of the tower is generally occupied by the members of the Dueling Club, and the observatory is the domain of the Astrology Club.
The Astrology Club is also known as the Astronomical Society; the two names are interchangeable.
If Professor Didi was still there, the next astronomy class would likely have taught knowledge related to astrology.
Professor Didi herself was an astrologer.
...
Dark glanced into the dueling practice room, then turned and continued to move up, entering the observatory.
The torrential rain had long ceased, and the night sky was clear again.
He circled the telescope in the observatory, then stopped and summoned Lady Devimon.
Lady Devimon yawned and blinked, her eyelashes trembled slightly—and she wanted to cling on to Dark.
Dark was helpless: "Lady Devimon, when can you change back?"
LadyDevimon wondered: "Why change back?"
Dark coughed: "Look, isn't it inconvenient if you don't change back? You don't want to stay in the sorting card all the time, do you?"
"That's right." LadyDevimon thought for a while and agreed, feeling that it made sense.
Dark succeeded in persuading her to be on the lookout, and said silently in his heart, "Expand the indicators."
[Yes.]
After a while.
Seven indicators appeared in Dark's field of vision.
[Pride: 105]
[Envy: 42]
[Wrath: 94]
[Sloth: 62]
[Greed: 89]
[Gluttony: 62]
[Lust: 111]
...
In general.
Except for [Lust], the growth rates of these seven indicators are still within control.
Relying on the magic brain dropper, the most threatening [Pride] was successfully dropped by 10. The growth of pride last month was also controlled: only 3 points had increased. So the final number changed from the 112 points at the beginning of last month to 105 points now.
It is quite acceptable.
After that, even [Envy] lowered by two points.
This is mostly due to the fact that not many things could trigger his envy.
In the same way, [Wrath] has also declined. And because of raising cat grass, the value of [Wrath] had actually been reduced to 90—but recently his temper became a little harder to control, so it has risen again. However, it is still lower than the 96 points at the beginning of last month.
Then there was [Sloth]. Sloth rebounded two points, which is not a big problem.
[Gluttony] also rebounded four points, and the problem is also not big.
But [Greed], however, has risen by a full 7 points!
But he is quite helpless regarding this.
With the increase in temptation, [Greed] is really difficult to suppress.
Just like [Lust]; it is also the same.
From 90 points at the beginning of last month, it has skyrocketed to 111 points now. Although most of it increased in one breath tonight, this is also related to Dark's own gradual negligence.
Fortunately, it is just [Lust].
Dark breathed a sigh of relief, and took out a flower card from the shoulder bag he brought with him.
At the beginning of the eradication of the goddess, he thought that this flower card might be invalidated.
However, just now Professor Lily gave a presentation on the spot.
That meant that the function of the flower card itself is still there.
What needs to be tested now is whether the derivative function of using flower cards to absorb [Lust] is still there?
Dark put the flower card on the table, took out the magic energy pen, and started to inject magic energy.
With the injection of magic energy, familiar faces constantly flashed past the card.
Dark held his breath, and suddenly saw the abnormal change on the card's surface. A sharp mouth with fine teeth suddenly emerged from the stamens.
As he continued to input magic energy, a few flowers extended out of the card with countless flower stamens biting towards his fingers!
"Hiss."
Lady Devimon on the side just glanced, then waved her hand. After the black light flashed, it cut off the roots of the stamens instantly.
[Lust -1]
"Okay."
[Lust -1] drifting across his field of vision made Dark smile.
But this experiment had other purposes besides the purpose of the experiment itself.
He carefully put away the remains of the flower card—but he couldn't help turning his eyes to the deep castle.
The flower card could absorb the essence of [Lust], which is derived from the existence of the Moon Goddess.
However, even after the statue is gone, the effect of the flower card is still there.
...
"How many unknowns are hidden in this castle?"
Back to the dormitory, Dark glanced at the little fairy and the big bed, feeling helpless.
In the end, he just took a new quilt out of the closet and slept on the other side of the big bed.
He had a dream of running in the wilderness of nature that night.
...
And when most students were asleep.
Professor Arte, who had sent away the three princesses, came to Professor Didi's office and opened the letter of resignation lying quietly on the desk.
The letter was not of magic but was of the most simple words, recording the inner suffering of Professor Didi over the past ten years, and a detailed record of recent events.
The style of writing went from the gloomy at the beginning to the gradual briskness at the end.
It showed the constant changes in her heart.
"I see." Professor Arte read the entire letter carefully, her brows gradually smoothing out.
The root of the matter started with a student entering the secret passage by mistake.
The student whose heart had been traumatised because of a broken love had not withdrawn from the secret passage in time, but had gone deeper into it.
He hadn't left a trace on the road like Dark, and it hadn't taken long for him to get lost.
Professor Arte still had some memories of this incident, and it was Professor Didi who had rescued the missing student from the secret passage in the end.
It had taken the student a long time to realise that he had lost his way, and then he had fallen into despair in the midst of hunger and thirst.
He had blamed his ex-girlfriend for the reason why he had been in a desperate situation. He had kept accumulating hatred and resentment. But after the desperation, he had begun to recall the sweetness of the past, and finally had moved on like a dead body, praying for forgiveness and redemption from the gods.
At that moment, the temple of the Moon Goddess appeared.
Professor Didi had not discovered the temple at first, and the student had concealed the information.
After that, he had been bewitched by the Goddess' remnant thoughts. He had formed a cult, studied flower cards, and repaired the statue.
Because Professor Didi had been paying attention to him, she had soon discovered his anomaly, and then had quickly found the existence of the temple.
But after discovering that it was the Temple of the Moon, she had not stopped them.
The traces of time had become more and more obvious on her body, and she had not been able to restrain her desire to seek a cure.
Then.
Observe, investigate, participate, and cover.
...
After the Robert incident, in order to not be discovered by Professor Silver, she had even helped Dark cover his traces when he had entered the secret passage for the first time.

ReplyDeleteThat racist fairy did all this crap and you still let her go? The f*ck?
ReplyDeleteI still don't understand the curse. If Didi choose time, wouldn't she lost love and keep her time? Why would Cazer, who choose love, is alive and young while she is old?
ReplyDeleteOr are all those who choose time just become cursed and those who choose love are safe?
