Chapter 407: Dark Demon Turning the Wheel of Time

The light was so strong that the entire dorm room was illuminated in an instant.

The magical spirits soundly sleeping on their small beds were awakened almost at the same time.

Pairs of sharp eyes instantly opened, turning to look at the desk.

The sound of movements in the bedroom made Dark wake up in a daze. He pried open his eyelids only to be dazzled by the blinding light.

"What happened?"

After his initial stupor passed, Dark was promptly startled and sat up halfway.

The source of the strong light was very obvious. Once he adapted to the glare of the light, he could see the magic card standing on the desk at a glance.

"Misdreavus?"

Heart skipping a beat, Dark immediately flung off his quilt and got out of bed.

The early spring night was chilly, but fortunately, his pajamas were thick enough.

He put on his slippers, walked to the desk in a few steps, and reached out to grab [Misdreavus]’s magic card.

The magical spirits with quick reactions also successively got out of bed. Gatomon had even reached out to grab its sword before nimbly jumping down, reaching Dark's side in a flash.

Afterwards, Sylveon and DemiDevimon also arrived one after another, cautiously observing the glowing magic card.

The magic energy fluctuations emanating from the magic card gave off an extremely ominous feeling.

It was right at this moment that Dark's fingers touched the magic card.

Just that moment of contact made him feel as if he was electrocuted, his fingers immediately jolting back as he let out a hiss.

"What's going on?" Gatomon leaped onto the desk and hurriedly asked.

Dark's gaze slightly sank, but he could only answer, "I don't know."

He really didn't know.

[Misdreavus]'s change came without a warning, and the contact just now didn't give him any useful information.

The face of [Misdreavus]'s card was blazing white, and nothing could be seen on it.

If it had been [Leomon] who changed, then he would have a clue.

Thinking so, he suddenly noticed that Leomon was anxiously watching from inside its magic card instead of choosing to sleep like [Meowth].

It's alright. Dark comforted Leomon and slightly adjusted the angle of the stand so that it could see [Misdreavus]'s magic card.

Then, he summoned [Magical Scribe] and asked it to use Normal Summoning Spell to summon [Leomon] while he himself took out his magic energy pen and prepared to do a further probe.

"Mi!"

"Mon Mon!"

"Shuckle Shuckle..."

All the magical spirits gathered and looked at [Misdreavus]'s magic card with worry.

Their cries made Dark even more cautious.

He injected only a wisp of magic energy into the magic energy pen, and then carefully approached [Misdreavus]'s magic card.

The moment he touched it again, the sensation akin to electric shock didn’t set off.

This made Dark feel a little relieved.

He controlled the magic energy to flow out of the pen tip and make contact with the magic card.

At that instant, the magic energy suddenly started to vibrate. Though subtle, the vibration with a very high frequency flowed back along the shaft of the pen.

With a glint in his eyes, Dark gripped the pen tightly, pouring more magic energy into it.

Almost instantly, the vibration was completely swallowed up by the torrent of magic energy.

Dark successfully pushed the magic energy into [Misdreavus]'s magic card.

Afterwards, he immediately felt the magma-like blazing heat and undulation inside the magic card.

"Misdreavus..."

Misdreavus’ painful groan was relayed from the magic card.

Dark's heart rate was speeding up, but he still forced himself to calm down and continued to probe with his magic energy.

However, it was actually very difficult to perceive specific details with magic energy. He probed the magic card for a long time and only felt that the environment inside the card was in an extremely dangerous predicament, just like the inside of a volcano that was about to erupt, with an indescribably stifling feel.

And Misdreavus, who was inside, was akin to being trapped in the middle of a crater, debilitated by the high temperature and dense smoke, in despair and pain.

"Ah!"

When Dark wanted to continue investigating the bottom of the "volcano", a stinging pain was abruptly transferred back through the magic energy.

He reflexively let out a scream and staggered back a step, drenched in cold sweat from head to toe.

……

"Mi?"

Sylveon immediately clung onto Dark's arm nervously, and the other magical spirits also became nervous.

They might be able to bring great help to Dark in duels and in daily life, but they were powerless in such a situation involving magic and sorcery.

The inexplicable occurrence tonight made them feel somewhat at a loss.

"Vee..."

Eevee raised its head, its little face terribly wrinkled.

It stood to reason that it should be the most knowledgeable in magic-related matters amongst all the magical spirits, yet it was just as helpless at this time.

This made it feel really bad.

"It's okay."

Dark patted Sylveon's ribbon-like feelers, taking it as a chance to calm himself down.

Then he pondered for a moment and muttered to himself, "Misdreavus is affected by a special power, but I have no clue what it is. That power makes it feel pain and fear... makes a Misdreavus feel fear..."

"Go find a professor!" DemiDevimon suddenly said.

When in trouble, go to the professor.

It was clear that DemiDevimon was well-versed in troubling others.

Dark looked up at DemiDevimon and couldn't help but think of what Senior Sister Pandora had said: "Don't be too dependent on the professors"—but he resolutely shook off this thought and decisively said, "Let's go!"

……

Dark moved very quickly. After making a decision, he immediately put all his magic cards into the card pouch and even collected [Wonderland] before leaving. In the situation where there was no magical spirit to watch over the dormitory, he would generally not leave [Wonderland] behind.

After putting [Wonderland] into his card pouch, Dark took the magic energy pen and [Misdreavus]'s magic card, quickly changed his shoes, and went out.

The magical spirits behind him also swarmed out altogether.

Ditto turned into a half-humanoid figure, carrying Trash Slime.

The floating [Magical Scribe] sandwiched [Leomon]'s magic card between its pages, still in the process of summoning it.

Gatomon and Sylveon guarded Dark on his sides.

The rest of the magical spirits were following behind him.

"Shuckle Shuckle," Shuckle anxiously called out.

With a swish of his hand, Dark recalled it into its magic card.

The whole family thus headed towards the corridor in full force.

"But which professor should I go to? Or should I go to find Sister Kaleid?"

Contemplating as he walked, Dark soon went down the stairs and reached the common room.

The magic lamp in the common room automatically lit up upon sensing someone's arrival.

He quickly walked through the common room without stopping, came to the gate, and then... suddenly realized that it was already late at night!

"What time is it?"

Dark abruptly turned his head to look at the clock hanging on the wall.

The hour and minute hands of the clock nearly overlapped—there wasn’t much time left before the curfew at 12 o'clock.

Expression instantly changing, he hurriedly opened the gate of the tower.

Creak!

As the gate opened, the night wind whizzed in.

Several magical spirits quietly started to shiver.

The golem, Feathered Serpent, guarding the tower instantly opened its eyes, revealing a dim light.

Feeling the golem's gaze, Dark slightly raised [Misdreavus]’s magic card and said in a low voice, "I'm going to find a professor, urgent matter."

The Feathered Serpent’s gaze faintly flickered before it slowly closed its eyes.

Dark immediately breathed a sigh of relief and strode out to the bridge.

He knew that Feathered Serpent wouldn’t let him in after the curfew, but it was not yet midnight and he was just going out, so there was still room for negotiation.

As he walked, he observed [Misdreavus]’s magic card.

The light emitted by the magic card wasn’t as strong as it was before, but the frequency of its flickering became very fast, giving off a great feeling of urgency. It was as if there was something brewing that would cause an irreversible change in the future if it couldn’t be dealt with in time.

This made him feel more and more anxious.

From being stirred awake by the sudden strong light during his sleep to now walking out of the tower, not much time had actually passed.

He practically did whatever he thought of and had very little room to deliberate.

"Sister Kaleid, Professor Silver, Professor Lily... Let's go with Professor Cazer!"

At the most critical moment, Dark ultimately chose to go with Professor Cazer.

He picked up his pace and rushed towards the dormitory where the professors stayed.

The cold wind whistled past both sides of his body, and the castle was frighteningly quiet close to midnight. If it hadn't been for the numerous magical spirits following him, it would've been terribly spooky.

Beep—

"Unregistered personnel detected!"

"Proceed to arrest!"

The sudden appearance of the "heavy cavalry" golem in front of him made Dark couldn't help but frown.

"Ga..."

He was about to order Gatomon to make quick work of it when a strong gust suddenly swept past his side.

Leomon, who had just materialized from the summoning light, swiftly charged forward.

"I'll do it!"

Leomon's steady and reliable voice echoed throughout the passage.

Dark snapped down his head and dashed through the gap.

Meanwhile, the "heavy cavalry" unit was instantly knocked down by Leomon!

……

Not long after, Leomon rejoined the team.

There wasn't too much decrease in its magic energy.

But whether it successfully took down the "heavy cavalry" or merely shook it off, Dark didn’t ask about it.

There were no more obstacles further down the road, but when he was about to reach the professors’ dormitory, a change suddenly occurred in [Misdreavus]’s magic card which he had been holding in his hand.

The originally white light gradually turned scarlet and began to converge towards the center.

By the time he reacted, the light emitted by [Misdreavus]’s magic card had turned into a crimson lightbeam as wide as a bowl, shooting directly at the wall!

……

Dark immediately halted, eyes drifting along the beam of light towards the castle wall with a hesitant gaze. When he quickly moved the magic card, he found that the lightbeam kept pointing in the same direction.

"Is it guiding me to go to a certain place?"

Eyes sinking, he poured magic energy to his fingertips.

The familiar sensation of electric shock promptly came, but he crushed over it with force and once again used his magic energy to probe into [Misdreavus]'s magic card.

This time round, the magic energy probe brought a completely different feeling from before.

The burning heat and stifling oppression on the brink of volcanic eruption had been replaced by a warm and cozy feeling, a soft sensation as if one was in the arms of their mother, making people couldn't help but feel nostalgic and be immersed in it.

And inside the magic card, Misdreavus… was like a baby curled up in a cradle, sleeping soundly with its eyes closed.

……

From an abyss of misery to a peaceful nirvana in the blink of an eye.

The change between the two was so great that Dark began to doubt his own perception.

The crimson lightbeam was gradually fading, but if he carefully sensed it, he could still feel the guidance of magic energy.

He looked at the direction pointed out by the lightbeam, and then glanced at the professors’ dormitory under the dark night, and suddenly realized that the highlight of Easter might have truly come!

But what exactly was that "highlight"?

And what did it have to do with [Misdreavus]?

Why would [Misdreavus]'s magic card produce such a variable?

Dark sharply turned his head and continued to rush to the professors’ dormitory.

No matter what it was, he could always get more clues by discussing it with the professors.

He was not afraid of taking risks, and was very good at "watching the fun".

If this matter had no effect on [Misdreavus]’s safety, he might have followed the guidance of the lightbeam and explored alone.

But there was no if.

While thinking as such, Dark had arrived in front of the professors’ dormitory.

But when he was about to take the next step, he suddenly froze.

Because this step couldn't be taken no matter what—there was an invisible thing blocking the way ahead, completely cutting off the possibility of moving forward.

"Gatomon!"

"Got it!"

The moment his command was uttered, Gatomon lightly responded and unsheathed its sword.

The gleam of the sword was cold as water.

With a focused gaze, it waved aside the magical spirits around it and forged ahead in a flash.

Boosted by the propulsion of its sprint, the sword ferociously slashed on the void with an astonishing momentum.

Clang!

As a loud noise rang out, the air in front suddenly trembled, the invisible wall rippling.

Face turning solemn, Dark found that on the part where the ripples spread, the air wall obstructing the way formed an arc that curved inward.

Rather than saying it was a wall blocking the way to the professors’ dormitory, it was more like a spherical barrier covering the entire castle!

And the dormitory building where the professors lived was located just outside the barrier.

The slash Gatomon swung at the barrier did not leave even the slightest trace.

Dark's heart sank to his stomach.

"What on earth is happening in this castle?"

……

Looking down from high up above, as moonlight shone on the castle, there were only a few spots showing a slight distortion.

Not only the professors' dormitory, but all the other dormitory towers were also sealed out by the invisible barrier.

The only tower located within the barrier was the spiral clock tower sitting in the center of the castle.

As its enormous hands rotated clockwise on the dial, the rattling of the gears was exceedingly clear in the extremely quiet night.

The witch who had parked her pumpkin carriage on top of the spiral clock tower, The Guide of Destiny, the Star-eyed Fortune-teller, the Witch of the Silver Moon—Medea Bartholomew—drew the curtain of the carriage and leaned her upper body out of the window, looking down at the castle full of interest.

The silver moon was reflected in her eyes, twinkling brightly.

"Medea, is it going to start?"

Another voice came from inside the carriage.

Medea Bartholomew slightly narrowed her eyes, enjoying the sway of gentle breeze, reveling in the throbbing of the night.

Her voice was as charming and alluring as ever.

"Yes. The wheel of time and space has begun to turn."
