Chapter 422: Dark Demon Never Cheats

"Good, very healthy." Dark stroked his chin as he looked at Vampire Fraulein’s crying face, thinking, "Being able to cry is a blessing. It seems that the intelligence-enhancing effect of [Lust III] is even stronger than I imagined."

As he pondered for a bit longer, the Vampire Fraulein's crying gradually lessened. But as soon as he glanced at her face again, she began to wail loudly once more.

Dark, having raised over a dozen children, could easily see through her little tricks. He didn't expose her, and instead, bent down slightly to pick her up.

Vampire Fraulein immediately stretched out her little hands and clung to him, crying rhythmically while rubbing her face against Dark’s. Before long, half of Dark’s face was wet with her tears.

While letting Vampire Fraulein cry, Dark injected magic energy into the magic card again and quickly received more information.

Since this [Vampire Fraulein] card was indeed usable, it was necessary to gain a deeper understanding of it.

Firstly, it was an undead-type magical spirit with a shadow attribute. Its magic energy was 3500, which was the top value a 7-star magical spirit could reach. Its attack was slightly lower than Bastemon’s, only 3200, and its defense was even lower, only 2500.

With such stats, it could barely be classified as a strong magical spirit. Given that it was a golden card, it surely had some outstanding features, most likely concentrated in its ultimate skills.

[Vampire Fraulein] possessed a total of four ultimate skills: Vampire Arcana, Vampire Fangs, Blood Sacrifice, and Death’s Embrace.

Just from their names, they sounded incredibly powerful.

Dark’s mind stirred, and he instinctively focused on the most ordinary-sounding ultimate skill—[Vampire Fangs]!

He suddenly had a premonition that this [Vampire Fangs] ultimate skill might bring him a surprise!

"Let’s see."

▼

[Vampire Fangs: Using their fangs, vampires can pierce their prey's blood vessels, sucking their blood while soothing them; it can also make their prey experience a profound sense of euphoria.]

▲

"It's really the effect I guessed. I wonder if it can turn [Wrath] into [Lust] as I thought?" Feeling surprised, Dark couldn't wait to try it.

However, when he looked back at the little one still crying in his arms, his excitement instantly turned to resignation. "Let’s save it for later. There's no rush anyway."

He then started from the beginning and looked at the first ultimate skill—[Vampire Arcana], feeling a hint of anticipation.

▼

[Vampire Arcana: By sacrificing a 4-star or higher vampire, Vampire Fraulein can be summoned using Special Summon. If there is Misdreavus or Mismagius on the field, Vampire Fraulein can be directly summoned.]

▲

"…Cheating?" Dark couldn't help but exclaim.

"Wah!" As if sensing someone talking bad about her, Vampire Fraulein’s cries suddenly grew louder.

With a face full of bewilderment, Dark looked at the next ultimate skill—[Blood Sacrifice].

▼

[Blood Sacrifice: Converts life (Magic Energy) into an equivalent amount of attack or defense, but only for a single attack or to withstand one instance of damage.]

▲

"Converting magic energy into attack or defense… If I remember correctly, the [Vampire Fraulein] in 'Yu-Gi-Oh' has a similar effect. So the last ultimate skill might be…"

▼

[Death’s Embrace: The life bitten by Vampire Fraulein will turn into a painful wraith under her control after death, lasting for three minutes.]

▲

"It's really this effect!" Dark couldn't help but gasp, then looked down at Vampire Fraulein's head and gave it a vigorous rub.

These four ultimate skills of Vampire Fraulein were truly overpowered, no wonder Professor Harvey had warned him. Among them, [Blood Sacrifice] and [Death’s Embrace] were game-changing ultimate skills, but what made this [Vampire Fraulein] more practical was [Vampire Arcana]!

As long as there was [Misdreavus] or [Mismagius] on the field, the 7-star [Vampire Fraulein could be quickly summoned without any cost.

Moreover, it could also be more conveniently summoned in daily life.

"If I had known about this effect earlier, I wouldn't have needed to use a tribute summoning."

Dark shook his head slightly, finally having the leisure to deal with the little lady who was faking her cry.

He didn't waste any time and directly reached under Vampire Fraulein's armpits, tickling her until she wiggled and giggled, pleading for mercy through her mixed cries and giggles.

Unfortunately, her language skills were still limited; her pleas were as unclear as if she had food in her mouth.

Dark wasn’t surprised by this. Digimon were special beings, born able to speak human languages. Although Vampire Fraulein looked human, she still needed to learn over time.

But it wasn’t a big problem. There was plenty of early education material at home.

After making Vampire Fraulein giggle, Dark flipped her over to sit on his lap, looking up at the ceiling, genuinely feeling a bit tired.

He thought for a moment, then handed Vampire Fraulein to DemiDevimon, setting an alarm for himself to take a nap.

Before that, he didn’t forget to summon [Misdreavus].

In fact, at the moment the ritual ended, [Misdreavus] had fully recovered.

But theoretically, [Misdreavus] and [Vampire Fraulein] were still vessels for the demon king.

It wouldn’t be surprising if the demon king suddenly descended one day.

However, magisters had very strong control over their magical spirits. If the demon king did descend into one of them, it would be walking into a trap.

Additionally, the intellects of [Misdreavus] and [Vampire Fraulein] were granted by the demon god’s [deadly sin]. Due to hierarchical suppression, it was almost impossible for them to be replaced by the demon king.

Dark had some confidence in this regard.

According to the professors' logic, if all vessels of the [demon king] were crafted into magical spirits, one day it would inevitably fall into the trap itself.

At that point, this trouble would be completely eliminated.

"Speaking of the demon king, I wonder how the holy church will react after discovering that the demon king has escaped? Will they announce it publicly? Although it's unlikely, I should keep an eye on the Daily Sage in the next few days…

"Also, this ritual could be considered an accident. Even without this ritual, the demon king’s escape was inevitable. But the location where the demon king was sealed is a complete secret, unknown to anyone outside the holy church. I had no idea how it could escape before, but now it seems likely related to the previous archbishop.

"I wonder what their reaction will be when they go through all that trouble to break the seal, only to find that the demon king is already dead?"

Hahaha!

Thinking about this, Dark gradually fell asleep with Misdreavus licking him.

A fully recovered Misdreavus' eyes lit up, revealing a greedy look.

...

The second day of April.

The students were still immersed in the afterglow of the Easter Duel Festival.

First-year students, after entering the summoning class, instinctively turned to look for the duel festival champion.

But Dark Demon, who usually arrived early, was unexpectedly absent today.

It wasn’t until the second class, the Magic Theory class, that Dark, slightly drowsy, appeared in the classroom.

Professor Cazer, who entered the classroom after him, nodded at Dark, seemingly aware of what had happened last night.

A little later, White and Robert rushed into the classroom after the bell rang, but Professor Cazer just asked them to sit down without deducting any credit points from them.

This Magic Theory class started in a relatively lively atmosphere and ended smoothly.

Dark, who rarely missed breakfast, thought about heading to the cafeteria as soon as possible, but Professor Cazer called him after class.

He initially thought Professor Cazer wanted to talk about last night’s events, but it turned out to be something else.

"You drew the [Transfiguration Spell], didn’t you?" Professor Cazer asked while walking towards the office.

Dark covered his forehead, realizing he had competently forgotten one of the rewards from the duel festival.

"Yes, Professor. But it’s not a complete magic card." He quickly replied.

Professor Cazer smiled, "That [Transfiguration Spell] was specially made by me. You just need to write your own Transfiguration Magic Charm to complete it. If you need help, I can personally teach you."

"Of course, I’d love that," Dark replied instinctively, then curiously asked, "Professor, is that [Transfiguration Spell] like Professor Pavar Jones’s or Professor Claire Kate’s?"

Cazer was taken aback by the question and only responded after a while, "It should be… like Professor Jones’s, I think?"

"That’s not bad," Dark nodded, "If I successfully craft the [Transfiguration Spell], can I freely transform?"

Professor Cazer spun his wand and smiled, "Don’t get too ahead of yourself. Freely transforming [Transfiguration Spells] are beyond your reach now, and they’re not necessarily better than single-transformation spells."

Dark quickly understood and then continued asking, "So what can I transform into? Also a bear?"

Professor Cazer shook his head, "I don’t know. Everyone's form varies. The [Transfiguration Spell] magic card I created limits the form to ordinary beasts. You might turn into a cat or even a mouse."

Dark clicked his tongue, "Tch!"

Professor Cazer chuckled, "Still interested in learning?"

Dark smiled, "Of course. But professor, based on this [Transfiguration Spell], is there a more advanced Transfiguration Spell that allows transformation into fantastic beasts?"

Professor Cazer drew an upward slanting line with his wand and smiled, "There is. But transforming into a fantastic beast or a magic beast requires not only knowledge and skill but also talent. Professor Pavar Jones has a unique talent in this area. If you're interested in the future, you can talk to her."

Dark said, "I'll consider it when my proficiency in Magical Language reaches an intermediate to advanced level."

Professor Cazer suddenly stopped, pointed to a fork in the path ahead, and said, "The cafeteria is that way. Come find me when you're ready to learn."

Dark, covering his growling stomach, blushed and waved, "I'll be off then. Goodbye, professor."

Watching his rapidly disappearing figure, Professor Cazer couldn't help but smile.

...

From that day on, Dark Demon's school life returned to its usual routine.

He didn't immediately go to Professor Cazer to learn transfiguration. Instead, he spent some time reviewing what he had and hadn't mastered, then used the remaining time to take care of his young charges.

Although Vampire Fraulein appeared to be eight or nine years old, her mental age was clearly much younger.

Dark introduced her to Gatomon, assigning Gatomon to handle her preschool education.

Gatomon was already experienced with such tasks. Although it didn't show much enthusiasm, it taught with great patience and diligence, proving to be an excellent tutor.

Dark supervised from the sidelines, using a combination of rewards and discipline to encourage Vampire Fraulein to study earnestly.

Among all of Dark's magical spirits, aside from the Digimons, Vampire Fraulein had the strongest aptitude for learning languages.

Dark estimated that she would soon surpass Ditto and be able to speak within ten days to a fortnight.

By then, communication would be much easier.

Before bed, Dark endured her loud wailing and forced her back into her magic card, making her a member of the "Watchman Alliance."

Since she wasn't registered in [Wonderland], Dark couldn't constantly supply her with magic energy.

Although she could replenish magic through [Vampire Fangs], that wasn't a viable long-term solution.

After dealing with Vampire Fraulein, Dark finally enjoyed a good night's sleep.

The next morning.

After his morning exercise and a shower, Dark sat at his desk and pulled out the day's "Daily Sage" from the basket DemiDevimon had brought.

However, the newspaper only contained trivial news.

"It seems even the 'Daily Sage' can't have big news every day. Did the holy church really conceal the demon king's escape? Or have they just not announced it yet?"

"But I suppose they wouldn't disclose news that could cause panic."

Dark set down the newspaper, took a sip of goat milk, and summoned Vampire Fraulein, teaching her how to use utensils.

Tasting goat milk and bread for the first time, Vampire Fraulein's eyes sparkled as she wielded her knife and fork, but she seemed more interested in the small dish of ketchup.

After breakfast, Dark, taking advantage of the time before class, headed to the infirmary to see Professor Kaleid.

Today, Professor Kaleid was unusually diligent.

When Dark knocked and entered, she was still preparing potions.

A glance told Dark it was the familiar [Grimm Potion].

He didn't ask much, waiting until Professor Kaleid paused before summoning [Leomon] and inquiring if there was a cure for Leomon's "madness."
