Chapter 421: Dark Demon’s Vampire Fraulein

As the founder of magic technology, Merlin was both the most powerful magister in history, as well as the greatest one.

He not only spearheaded an era, but also made tremendous contributions to the reversal of the tide of the war.

Dark certainly would not presumptuously think that he could replace such a figure—especially in terms of "greatness". After all, he was essentially a person who liked to watch the downpour sitting under the eaves.

But he was actually quite interested in becoming Professor Harvey's disciple.

As a necromancer, Professor Harvey was fairly proficient in the study of souls. Just that "soul-stripping centrifuge" alone could achieve the effect of [Soulless Curse].

And [Soulless Curse] could effectively reduce the barrier function of the brain, making [deadly sin] easier to overflow.

Dark's [Soulless Curse] was only at the entry level. It could only reduce the barrier of deadly sin overflow from 100 points down to 95 points.

If he could learn a more advanced [Soulless Curse] from Professor Harvey, he would definitely be able to further reduce the limit of deadly sin extraction.

At a time when the demand for [deadly sin] was gradually exceeding its supply, it was especially crucial to improve his mastery over [Soulless Curse].

Furthermore, it was now already April. In another two months, there would be a three-month long holiday.

When the long holiday came, he would have no choice but to leave the academy.

Outside the academy, the environment was more complicated and the social circle was larger, making it easier for [deadly sin] to get out of control.

If he could lower the limit of [deadly sin] extraction, the situation would be much safer.

But the problem was that he already had his own teacher.

"I’m sorry," Dark ultimately said, "Although I really want to be your disciple, my teacher Claire Kate will definitely not allow it."

After hearing what he said, Professor Harvey was actually not surprised. "Is it [Sage of Beasts] Claire Kate?"

Dark smiled and nodded as he answered, "That's right."

Professor Harvey stroked his chin and said, "It's not surprising that you have a teacher. How about this, if you have anything you want to learn, you can still ask me—just as a professor and a student, how about it?"

Stunned, Dark hesitantly asked, "Is that alright?"

"Why not?" Professor Harvey waved his hand, "Does a professor need any reason to teach a student?"

After solemnly thinking it over, Dark finally asked, "Then, professor, do you know about [Soulless Curse]?"

Professor Harvey nodded. "Small trick."

Dark slowly spoke, "I have my own understanding of [Soulless Curse], but I want to delve deeper into it."

Professor Harvey immediately became interested. "Tell me about it."

Dark then talked about the entry-level [Soulless Curse] that he had mastered.

The difficulty of learning [Soulless Curse] was actually very high. It was far from being a "small trick" as Professor Harvey dubbed it to be.

A normal [Soulless Curse] could make a person lose consciousness for a short period of time. At the same time, the bond between the soul and the body would become loose, and the Thought Substances would fluctuate, thus becoming easier to be stripped out from the brain.

On the other hand, the [Soulless Curse] Dark mastered with the help of [Holy Grail] could not only control whether or not to apply the "fainting effect", but also prevent the target from "blanking out" because of it. Moreover, the overall effect would only last for a very short time, no longer than three minutes.

One could call it a "weakened version", and also an "improved version".

After all, it eliminated the negative effects of [Soulless Curse] and was more suitable for formal experiments.

The more he listened, the more astounded Professor Harvey became. It wasn't until after a while did he finally speak, "It turns out that's all you have to do to get rid of the negative effects of [Soulless Curse]. Wait—you can't be learning [Soulless Curse] to use it on yourself, right?"

Dark did not hide it. "My case is that I need to use it to strip away the influence of emotions."

Professor Harvey immediately shook his head and said, "Then I can't teach you carelessly. You wait, wait until I improve the entry level [Soulless Curse] according to your method, and then I'll pass it on to you."

Feeling delighted, Dark said, "Thank you, professor."

"No need to thank me." Professor Harvey smiled, "On the contrary, I’m now the one who benefits from this. With your method, it’ll be more convenient to do experiments in the future. Let's just treat it as an exchange of favor."

Dark smiled and said, "I still have to thank you, professor."

Professor Harvey laughed in response, "Then I’ll accept your thanks."

……

The professor and student had a pleasant conversation.

Dark also managed to grasp a preliminary understanding of the professor's temperament.

Professor Harvey was actually a very lovely person, someone who liked making corny jokes that often killed the mood.

If he hadn't already had Claire as his teacher, he would’ve really been willing to become his disciple.

Perhaps later on, when they got to know each other better, he could try to discuss it with Claire?

Emm...

Thirty minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Dark was so immersed in the discussion with Professor Harvey that he hadn't even checked the changes in [Vampire Fraulein] when Ophelia Bullard's "corpse" suddenly stirred.

"Is she awake?"

Professor Harvey promptly stood up and quickly strode to Ophelia Bullard's side.

Ophelia Bullard was gradually regaining consciousness, but her limbs still seemed to be stiff, and she was also unable to speak.

Professor Harvey gave her a simple checkup, and then smiled as he said, "Looks like the soul and the body have bonded nicely. Don't be too anxious, give your body a little more time to adapt. At least for the next three months, you mustn't use any power related to the soul. Apart from that, you can go to the infirmary and ask Sister Kaleid to prepare some [Grimm potion], take one dose before bed every day, and do this for at least one month. It’ll strengthen the bond between your body and soul."

After a while, Ophelia Bullard was finally able to speak.

She immediately thanked Professor Harvey, and then tried to slowly move her limbs. It took about fifteen minutes before she was finally able to get out of bed and walk.

At this time, Professor Silver and Professor Medea had also come inside.

The two respectively thanked Professor Harvey, and then supported Ophelia Bullard out of his dormitory.

After waving to Professor Harvey, Dark left along with them.

When they walked out of the door, Professor Medea was beaming with delight, while Professor Silver had a stern look on her face.

Afterwards, they didn’t leave the professors’ dormitory tower, but directly went to Professor Silver's dormitory.

"Well, since you’ve already come back to life, I think you must be prepared to accept the punishment."

Facing Professor Silver's stern rebuke, Ophelia Bullard put on a bitter smile.

Every action, be it good or evil, would ultimately reap its repercussion. It wasn't a question of if, but when the reckoning arrived.

There was always a price to pay for committing a bad deed.

With this awareness in mind, Ophelia looked up and said, "Professor, I’m willing to accept my punishment."

Professor Silver then said with a straight face, "Well then, from today onwards, until I allow you to, you are forbidden from leaving the academy. You cannot be out and about with your real identity, you cannot publicly acknowledge your relationship with White, and you must keep your distance from him. Do you understand what I mean?"

Feeling stunned, Ophelia couldn't help vowing in gratitude, "I understand!"

"That's not the end of it." Silver put out her hand. "Give me [The Great Prophecy]."

Ophelia could only obediently hand over [The Great Prophecy].

After confiscating the "crime tool", Professor Silver asked, "Where did this card come from?"

Ophelia Bullard replied, "A fellow inmate gave it to me."

"Inmate?" Professor Silver promptly frowned.

Ophelia Bullard explained, "It’s the previous archbishop."

Professor Silver instantly blurted out in surprise, "It's him? He's still alive?"

Ophelia nodded and said, "Hale and hearty."

Professor Silver asked, "Did you see him when you were escaping from prison?"

Ophelia carefully tried to recall it, and then helplessly shook her head. "No."

Professor Silver fell silent for a while before saying, "This isn’t good news. If the previous archbishop also escaped from prison, the holy church would probably face an unprecedented crisis. No wonder they haven't been actively pursuing you, I'm afraid they’ve put most of their energy into catching the previous archbishop."

After she finished speaking, she couldn't help rubbing the center of her brows, feeling a little weary.

It wasn't until this moment that Dark, who had been quietly listening to their conversation, curiously asked, "Professor Silver, what did the previous archbishop of the holy church do? Why was he imprisoned in Bastille Prison?"

Professor Silver put down her hand and calmly uttered the crime, "Betraying the kingdom and defecting to the enemy."

As human lifespan was limited, there would inevitably be a handover period of power change.

The holy church was no exception to this.

The previous archbishop and the current pope had competed for the position of pope, with the final result being what it was.

After failing in the election for pope, the previous archbishop was unwilling to accept it, so he secretly colluded with the demon race and tried to assassinate the pope to usurp his position.

The final outcome was also evident—he was locked up in Bastille Prison.

The problem was, the holy church had always maintained that they had privately executed the previous archbishop, yet it turned out that he was actually still alive.

There was certainly a ruse at play here, but ultimately, it was an internal problem of the holy church, making it difficult for outsiders to get involved.

But if the previous archbishop had really escaped from prison, then it might not just be an internal problem of the holy church anymore.

……

In short, having listened to the gossip in full, Dark Demon at last said goodbye to the professors and left the professors’ dormitory.

At this time, it was already six o'clock in the morning, and the curfew had long been lifted.

Because the final outcome turned out pretty well, Dark was in quite the good mood.

He directly went back to the tower of Noble House, and then took out [Vampire Fraulein]’s magic card upon entering the dormitory.

In terms of noteworthiness, this [Vampire Fraulein] paled in comparison to the gossip he had just heard—so much so that he only remembered to check it now.

"I wonder what changes will take place after Ophelia Bullard's soul was stripped away?"

Taking a seat at the experimental table, he put [Vampire Fraulein] on top of the table and reached out to inject his magic energy.

The face of the card remained unchanged—it was still covered by curtain-like red cloths.

It wasn’t until he injected his magic energy did the curtains slowly open to both sides, revealing the true face of [Vampire Fraulein].

Upon taking a look at it, Dark couldn’t help falling a little silent.

Then, he let out a faint sigh.

DemiDevimon, who had been perching at the corner of the table to stare at it, was already laughing out loud while clutching its tummy.

"She’s gotten smaller!"

Although she was still [Vampire Fraulein], her appearance had changed from a vampire girl of fifteen or sixteen years old to a little child of seven or eight years old.

It was akin to being directly downgraded from a highschool girl to a primary school kid.

Thinking about it carefully, this was actually reasonable.

After all, the core material used to craft [Vampire Fraulein] was Vlad the vampire who was still in the infant state.

If Ophelia Bullard's soul hadn’t been added, perhaps the magic card that was crafted would be something along the line of [Vampire Baby] or the likes.

The current outcome was simply a huge profit paid at the cost of a life.

It was just that the little child in the card was completely motionless—it was clear that she had lost her wisdom.

"Will it be possible to make her regain wisdom using the deadly sin card?"

"Theoretically, it should be possible. Let's try it first."

Thinking so, Dark immediately summoned [Magical Scribe] and let it take its time to summon [Sylveon] while he himself proceeded to summon [Meowth].

With a 4-star and a 3-star on deck, he could then use them as tributes to summon a 7-star magical spirit.

Although [Sylveon] and [Meowth] were very reluctant, they ultimately still turned into light.

Following the completion of tribute summoning, the brand new [Vampire Fraulein] emerged from the summoning circle.

She stood in place with a blank expression, looking even more dull than the average magical spirit.

Gathering his focus, Dark carefully observed her.

The hair color of this [Vampire Fraulein] was still cherry blossom pink, which should be a manifestation of [Lust].

Due to her aging backward, the contours of her face had become rounder, but her skin was still just as pale. Her eyes sparkled red like rubies, and her ears had become pointier.

A closer look would reveal that the traces of Ophelia Bullard on her features had completely disappeared, leaving only the shadow of Vlad the Vampire.

She had undoubtedly inherited the excellent looks of vampire nobles.

In contrast to the cute lolita-style dress she was wearing, the wings on her back were like tiny chicken wings, all shriveled and curled up.

Tightly clasping the black parasol ribbed with fangs in her hands, she was as adorable as Sylveon.

……

"In the name of Dark Demon, magic summon—[Lust III]!"

In order to prevent errors when awakening her wisdom, Dark directly picked [Lust III], the most suitable choice.

The radiance of lust rapidly burst forth.

As Vampire Fraulein was bathed in the pink light, her long eyelashes suddenly trembled.

Dark’s mind perked up: "!"

Immediately afterwards, the deadly sin symbol symbolizing [Lust] lit up on Vampire Fraulein's smooth forehead.

Under the stimulation, the little chicken wings on her back abruptly spread open, at last showing a hint of a vampire's majesty.

As the pink light was completely absorbed by the symbol of [Lust], Vampire Fraulein's dull gaze gained a little luster.

All of a sudden, she blinked her eyes, and then—to Dark's surprise—burst out crying with a wail!

Just like a newborn baby.
