Chapter 350: Emma Mortis Taking Her Shot at the First Opportunity

Following the eradication of [Devil Eye Beam], the battle completely came to an end.

On one hand, Dark was glad, but on the other hand, he also felt unsatisfied.

"It's gone just like that."

Somewhat regretfully, he looked at the handful of black powder and put his hand on top of Ditto's transformed head.

When his fingers touched upon it, a slight burning sensation scalded his skin.

Taken by surprise, Dark found that Ditto's shell was melting.

Soon afterwards, Ditto automatically dispelled its [Transform] state and bonelessly lay on the ground.

It was clear that the [Devil Eye Beam] it unleashed just now had overtaxed it.

At this moment, although its magic energy had yet to bottom out, it was already very exhausted.

Abruptly realizing that he had neglected Ditto's condition, Dark quickly bent down to pick it up and gently stroked it with some distress.

"Mon~ Mon~"

Ditto weakly cried out, but its eyes quietly opened just a fraction.

Some time ago, it had specially studied 《An Actor Prepares》 in order to strengthen [Transform].

Although it didn't know any words in the book, that didn't matter—knowing the title was enough!

However, Dark then immediately recalled it into its magic card.

Gatomon, who was walking over to them, couldn't help showing a meaningful smirk.

……

Recalling Ditto into the magic card, Dark replenished its magic energy as he
walked towards the handful of black powder.

He squatted down in front of the black powder, took out a small bottle from his backpack, and prepared to bottle the powder.

At any rate, it was the strongest monster he had hunted since entering the dungeon. Even if these remains were useless, they could serve as proof to increase his internal score in Professor Nini's heart.

The result of the end-of-term exam would be converted into temporary points and added to the total score of the students' respective Houses.

In accordance with the score tally, only the House with the most points could get the chance to make a wish to the Holy Grail.

Dark had pinned his hopes on the Holy Grail to improve the level of his [spiritual concentration art] or [Soulless Curse].

Although his personal points might be a mere drop in the bucket, how to complete a journey of a thousand miles if not by taking small steps?

He took out a glove from the side pocket of his backpack and put it on before reaching out to touch the black powder.

After crushing it with a light pinch, he found that the black powder was like a kind black crystals, looking nothing like the remains of a monster.

All of a sudden, he frowned and reached out once more to sweep away the upper layer of the black powder. Sure enough, he discovered a black crystal the size of a ping-pong ball inside the pile!

This black crystal actually had the feel of a kind of core material.

He carefully picked up the crystal and closely observed it to find that it had a total of eighteen sides, each of which was amazingly flat and smooth as a mirror, bursting with the beauty of geometry.

"But what can this thing do?" Dark couldn't help frowning.

"Perhaps it can work as a dice?"

Reflexively turning his head due to the voice that suddenly came from behind, Dark happened to see Emma who had mustered up her courage.

After witnessing the disappearance of White and Robert, Emma Mortis had screamed out her lungs because she was momentarily seized with terror.

But upon calming down after screaming, she finally realized that the two of them should've simply been transported out of the dungeon.

The transfer coordinates of [Dungeon Escaper] were set next to the infirmary so that Sister Kaleid could treat the injured in time.

The two of them were most likely there now.

Would they be among the first batch of students to be transported out?

They wouldn't have been the only ones, right…

After Emma came back to her senses, Dark's action immediately caught her attention.

Soon afterwards, she saw the round boulder being blasted to death on the spot by Ditto, so she cautiously walked out of the passage.

There was always an inexplicable sense of security when Dark Demon was around.

Walking behind Dark, Emma blurted out what she had in mind upon seeing the eighteen-sided black crystal.

But her casual blurt gave Dark a reminder.

"Eighteen-sided dice? I feel like I've heard it somewhere before."

Dark earnestly racked his brain, but it was to no avail, so he simply set it aside for the time being and asked, "Are you alright?"

Blush coloring her face, Emma reflexively lowered her head and whispered, "I'm alright."

"Then that's fine." Dark didn't ask any more questions.

He had a general notion of the course of her actions, so there was no need to ask at this time.

He took out his tools, swept the handful of black powder on the ground into a bottle, sealed the eighteen-sided black crystal inside a palm-sized pouch, and stood up after finishing all that.

By this time, Dianna and Rose had also walked over.

Seeing Emma standing all alone, the two girls spoke a few words to her.

"So you're saying that you want to go together with us for the rest of the time?"

Dark glanced at Emma with a strange look.

Emma, who was supposed to have a fiery personality, unexpectedly looked away at this moment, her cheeks flushed.

But she still imperceptibly nodded.

Dark stared at her for a good while before suddenly saying, "You know about the suspension bridge effect, right?"

This question was actually rather abrupt.

Sure enough, hearing it had Emma taken aback.

Immediately afterwards, she finally realized what was wrong with herself and hurriedly adjusted her expression, voice raising a few levels when she spoke, "Of course I do!"

Dianna, being the only one present who didn't understand, couldn't help interjecting, "What exactly is the suspension bridge effect?"

Next to her, Rose quickly took her arm and explained in a low voice, "The suspension bridge effect refers to when a person crosses a suspension bridge in a state of extreme fear, their heart will spontaneously beat faster, making them associate this reaction to a heart-pounding feeling."

Dianna nodded without quite grasping it: "Oh."

Then she looked at Emma with some pity and said in the tone of an elder, "Poor child, you must be frightened."

Dark: "Pfft."

He couldn't help chuckling.

Emma tightly clasped her fingers in embarrassment.

……

"It's fine if you want to go with us, but there can only be one leader in a team, you know what I mean?" Dark said to Emma.

Emma immediately replied, "Of course."

She looked to be very sincere.

Dianna and Rose were also not against her joining.

Dark nodded in satisfaction and asked, "So, where do you want to go next?"

Emma: "Ah? Didn't you say there's only one leader?"

Dark: "I'm not a dictator, of course I'll ask the team members for their opinions."

Emma: "......"
