The villain only wants to live a Buddhist life

??

Looking at those crazily beating flames, Dak narrowed his eyes slightly, and gradually felt a sense of familiarity.

It wasn't until his eyes turned to Angus Jeffrey again that he suddenly realized how similar the scene in front of him was to the "Devil King's Execution Ceremony"!

Angus Jeffrey surrounded by ashes is like a burning "devil corpse".

The flames dancing around the field are the onlookers affected by the enchantment.

But in a blink of an eye, Dak realized that this was actually a scene that can often be seen in activities such as "sacrifice" and "speech".

It's actually not uncommon.

The common ground that needs attention is only in the word "ceremony".

Whether it is the "dark duel" in Dak's memory or the "duel field" in front of him, there is actually a shadow of "ceremony".

Now the "ceremony" has come to an end, and the final result is about to appear.

As the final victor of this duel, he only needs to wait patiently before he can enjoy the fruits of victory.

What he should be worried about is actually the taste of the fruit - is it sour or sweet?

……

Did not make him wait too long.

The gray flames crazily burning around Angus Jeffrey's body swept upwards like a whirlwind, and all of them left the body.

Angus Jeffrey's screams also suddenly disappeared at this moment.

But his whole body seemed to be completely exhausted and sluggish.

Even the hands holding the head were limply drooping.

Gray flames continued to rise into the sky, as if taking away something hard to see.

Only the flame on his forehead was still burning.

"Is the memory taken away?"

When Dak frowned and thought, he saw the gray flame on Angus Jeffrey's forehead suddenly rise up, and the originally vigorous flame was stretched extremely slender.

Then the flame suddenly curled up like a snake, and when it curled to the extreme, it ejected instantly!

The flame connected to the tail above Angus Jeffrey's forehead was completely pulled out!

Angus Jeffrey, who had been sluggish, suddenly screamed again.

His entire body stood up due to the stimulation, and then the distorted expression on his face stretched out without warning, and there was a void in his half-opened eyes.

Until then, the flames in the entire "Duel Field" quickly gathered towards the gray flame that had returned to its original state.

The gray flames absorbed the flames frantically, devouring all the flames in just a few seconds.

The color of the flames also solidified a lot.

Staring at the flame closely, Dak suddenly felt a slight jump in his magic power, and subconsciously stretched out his hand.

The flame suddenly disappeared, and when it condensed again, it had already appeared in his palm!

"This……"

He wanted to withdraw his hand reflexively, but the flame did not emit heat, but a trace of coldness spread from it to his palm, which made him look shocked.

Then following the coolness, it was like absorbing information from a magic card, and suddenly bits and pieces of information came to mind.

Dak digested the information quickly, and a look of understanding gradually appeared on his face.

then.

He gathered magic power in his five fingers, and with a sudden grip, the gray flame was squeezed and deformed.

But the flame was not extinguished, but slipped out from the gap between his fingers, and re-condensed into shape.

Dak frowned, and there was a trace of strangeness in his eyes.

Do not know why.

This gray flame didn't penetrate into his body like it did on Angus Jeffrey's side.

It's not really in its nature.

Of course, it is also possible that it wants to, but cannot.

……

As Ash Fire was taken away by Duck, the "Duel Domain" launched by Angus Jeffrey naturally disappeared.

The strange aura that filled the arena quickly disappeared completely.

No one knew that there had been a "dark duel" under the watchful eyes of the crowd, and no one knew what Angus Jeffrey had experienced before and after this duel.

Duck looked up to the opposite side, Angus Jeffrey's eyelids were twitching, and the empty eyes were being filled by some kind of consciousness.

When he blinked suddenly, as if he had been greatly frightened, he let out a loud cry!

Immediately, he pressed down on the poker table, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Dak frowned, and tentatively asked, "Senior Jeffrey?"

The friendly greetings passed by the loudspeaker were received normally by Angus Jeffrey.

He seemed to understand that he was in a duel... no, after the second duel, he still suffered a disastrous defeat.

But in his memory, everything related to "ash fire" is obviously gone.

"I lost again?"

Angus Jeffrey raised his hand to press his forehead, only to feel that there seemed to be a huge hole in his heart, and an endless emptiness swept up.

He interpreted it as the disappointment after losing to Duck, and gritted his teeth hard, responding: "This time you won, but you won't keep winning!"

After the words fell, he grabbed the magic card and walked towards the stairs with a slightly staggering footsteps.

……

Watching his back as he walked off the stage, Dak pursed his lips, and then put his magic elves back into the card, then turned and walked off the stage.

That gray flame just floated beside him, following him downwards.

Duck walked to the ground, looked at Ollie who was waiting with a smile, and said in a low voice, "Let's go."

Then the two quickly left the arena without waiting for Jessica to lead the way.

After they walked out of the passageway in the circular corridor, a nobleman who looked somewhat familiar walked up to them.

But Dak didn't take the time to flirt with these nobles who didn't know when they would meet. He casually declared that he was a little tired, and pushed away those nobles who said exaggerated words, and quickly found Pandora and Aurora pull.

Phyllis, who was next to them, exclaimed, "Dark, what is the last golem you summoned? Angus' fat penguin can't stop it at all!"

"A kind of weapon." Dak smiled.

When it came to "arming", Felice couldn't help covering his mouth and said, "It's the Valkyrie... I mean, the Duke, did she teach you?"

Duck nodded and said, "Of course."

Then Oli, who was walking behind him, suddenly took a step forward and whispered something in his ear.

Dak looked surprised, and then apologized: "Sorry, Phyllis, I may have something to go back, so I will save today's dinner for the next time."

Phyllis watched with great interest the head maid who had raised her head and retreated, but said in her mouth: "No problem, but next time I invite you, don't refuse."

"Of course not." Duck smiled slightly.

Afterwards, he took Pandora and Aurora with him, and quickly left the [Haunted by Soul] hall.

……

It wasn't until the four of them got back into the carriage that Pandora asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Duck said, "It suddenly occurred to me that there will be your farewell party tonight."

"Didn't you say we'll do it at night?" The corners of Pandora's mouth curled up.

Darke smiled and said, "I suddenly felt that it would be better to do it earlier."

Pandora said: "Well, anyway, there is nothing interesting in this guild hall."

There was a moment of silence in the carriage.

Aurora looked curiously at the two people around her, but didn't speak.

The carriage quickly drove out of the prosperous garden where [Soul Dreaming] was located, and walked onto the avenue leading to the Duke's Mansion.

As the sun set and dusk fell, the pedestrians on the avenue became much more hurried.

When the sky outside the window was completely engulfed by the orange-red sunset, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians and carriages on the road.

The dragon trainer who was driving turned on the lights hung on both sides of the door, and then slowed down slightly.

Dak didn't stretch out his hand until this moment, and put his five fingers together, the gray flame condensed in his palm.

Pandora watched his movements curiously, and asked, "In your palm?"

"Yes." Duck nodded, "A gray flame."

Pandora shook her head: "I can't see it."

Aurora couldn't help asking: "What is it that you can't see?"

Dak took a light breath and said, "Wait a little longer."

……

Before the night was dark, the carriage finally arrived at the Duke's Mansion.

When the dragon horned horse stopped slowly, the four people in the carriage came out one after another. Then Dak pushed back the maid who came to greet him, and quickly entered the mansion.

At this time, the Duke's Mansion is still brightly lit, and the maids of [Aries Palace Maid Group] are still preparing dishes for the farewell party.

Alvette and the others, who had eaten a little, drank tea and chatted in the living room.

Duck saw the lights in the room, so he went up to the second floor, opened the door and entered.

"came back?"

Arvette saw a baby she hadn't seen during the day, and she showed a very natural expression of joy.

"Did you take Pandora to play?"

Claire joked casually.

Hephaes sipped his tea, smiling.

But that smile faded quickly.

All three of them were extremely keenly aware of the difference in the atmosphere.

Duck nodded to them, then quickly walked to the center of the living room, and sat down on the chair in front of the tea table.

Pandora walked to Hephaes's side and sat down.

Aurora sat beside Alvette.

"Crack."

Ollie locked the door behind her and walked over.

Dak waited for everyone to gather around, then grabbed the ashes in his hand again, slowly spread his palm, and said seriously: "Can you see it?"

Of the three people present, one is the [Valkyrie] who stood at the peak ten years ago, the other is the famous [Sage of the Beast], and the third is a pure-blood who has the [True Dragon Eye] White Dragon!

If even they couldn't see this ashes, it meant that even if it was in the underworld, it would still be extraordinary.

But the worst didn't materialize.

Except for Claire, both Alvette and Hephaes clearly showed a look of "witnessing something".

So Claire complained: "So what did you see?"

Yarvette's expression softened a little, and she said, "I can't see much, it's just a blur of black shadows."

Hefes glanced at her, and immediately smiled and said, "Then I may see more, just wait a moment."

Obviously, she was very happy about surpassing the Valkyrie in a certain ability.

Hephaes looked at the gray flame in Dak's hand again, and slowly opened his eyes wide.

As the magic power gathered, white light appeared in her eyes, and the pupils suddenly disappeared, and two beams of white light suddenly shot out from her eyes.

As soon as Dak thought about it, he took the initiative to bring the flame into Hephace's "gaze".

After being irradiated by that "eye" on his body, the gray flames actually took on the shape of a black shadow.

But from its external outline, it can still be seen that this is a flame.

Claire asked in surprise, "Where did you come from, this flame?"

Only then did Dake slowly talk about today's events.

"Wait, you said this is the spoils of war between you and Jeffrey's son?"

Claire interrupted him and asked, "Then, where did the Jeffrey family's son get this flame?"

Darke took a deep breath and said, "The information I have obtained is also very limited, but if nothing unexpected, it should have leaked from the underworld."

"Come from the underworld..." Claire asked curiously, "Could it be the fire from the underworld?"

Darke said: "Until we really figure out its origin, we can temporarily call it the fire of the underworld."

"Wait a minute."

Arvette interrupted the conversation between the two again, and said solemnly: "Did Angus Jeffrey initiate the duel against you?"

"Yes." Duck nodded, "This is the second time."

Yarvette frowned: "Did he target you in the academy?"

Dak smiled slightly: "It seems to have happened, but I really don't have any impression."

"Really?" Alvette said: "According to what you said, although Angus Geoffrey was possessed by the fire of the underworld, he has not lost his consciousness, but his personality has become a little more extreme. And full of an inexplicable obsession with duels?"

Dak looked at the gray flame, put it on his fingertips and shook it slightly, and said slowly:

"In fact, I obtained some fragmentary memories from this fire of the underworld. This fire of the underworld is likely to be the manifestation of some fragments of individual consciousness, and it is only a small part of it."

"Because that individual consciousness has a strong obsession with duels, it will create abilities similar to duel rituals after possessing Jeffrey."

"And its 'duel' should not specifically refer to a magic duel. Its initial consciousness is likely to be a duel between gladiators, or a duel between knights."

"It's just that in this era, magic duels almost monopolize the definition of 'duel'."

"So it does as the Romans do..."

"Well, in fact, I'm just guessing, or maybe it's just because the duel in Jeffrey's mind is a magic duel."

Dak's eyes reflected flames, and he continued:

"Jeffrey was possessed by the fire of the underworld when he was watching the execution ceremony of the demon king. There are probably not a few people who are possessed like him. If the possessed person is a warrior, maybe the so-called duel It's a real swordsmanship."

"At present, it seems that the person possessed by the fire of the underworld is extremely aggressive, which will make the possessed person have the desire to fight with others. Of course, it does not rule out that people with a strong will can restrain this impulse. "

"And if you can win in the field of duel, not only can you extract the memory related to the fire of the underworld from the loser's mind, but you can also take away part of the ability related to the type of duel."

"Used in a magic duel, what is taken away is part of the magic power and part of the knowledge!"

"Angus Jeffrey, by virtue of the duels in the past few days, took away the magic power and knowledge of many duelists."

"If you give him enough time to accumulate and digest, maybe it will become more difficult to deal with."

"In short, I call this kind of duel a dark duel!"

……

As Dak eloquently explained, the other three finally realized the danger hidden under the magic duel.

Ollie couldn't help clenching her fists. She was clearly only one stage away from the young master, but she didn't notice the opening of the "Duel Field". If the young master wasn't good enough, the consequences would be disastrous.

Pandora and Aurora also frowned.

After feeling slightly remorseful, Pandora couldn't help looking into Hephaes' eyes.

Originally, she didn't care about [True Dragon's Eye], but now she has a desire for it.

"Perhaps we should seriously explore the mysteries contained in the dragon's blood?"

When Pandora frowned and thought, Aurora also worried about her lack of ability.

Originally, she had a certain degree of confidence in her abilities, but after coming to the Duke's Mansion, that confidence became less and less.

She gritted her teeth and re-established the goal of working hard.

……

"Dark duel?"

After careful consideration, Arvette said worriedly.

"If it is as you said, things will become very difficult. At that time, the crowd gathered around St. Louis Square came from all over the world, and there were not only a large number of sub-human races, but also the remnants of the demons and evil sects. Regiment. If they gain the ability to engage in dark duels..."

"It's not that pessimistic." Claire shook her head and said, "The Holy Cult held a Holy Inquisition Council for this, and maybe they will use this to launch a new Holy War."

Arvette couldn't help giving her a blank look: "That's even more troublesome."

After finishing speaking, she unexpectedly turned to Dak calmly, and asked, "So, after you won the Dark Duel, you also got part of Jeffrey's magic power and knowledge?"

But Dak shook his head and said: "No. I just got some fragmentary memories. Apart from Angus Jeffrey's experience, there is only a special spell. Jeffrey uses magic language After compiling it, combined with the power of the fire of the underworld, two magic cards named [Underworld Monument] were refined. Of course, those two magic cards are useless now."

"Why is that?" Claire asked.

Darke also gave her a blank look, and said, "Of course it's because I didn't accept the possession of the fire of the underworld!"

Claire laughed: "Of course I know, I just want to hear you say it yourself."

Darke sighed, and said: "Actually, what I'm more worried about is what can the fire of the underworld itself get from the dark duel? I always feel that it is already bigger than when Jeffrey first got it."

Claire said: "According to what you said, it may be magic power, or it may be something else."

Dak said: "Also, have you ever thought about the duel between two people who are also possessed by the fire of the underworld..."

Claire said decisively: "Regardless of victory or defeat, the fire of the underworld of one of them will be absorbed by the fire of the other. It will keep getting bigger and bigger, and eventually..."

Darke said worriedly: "In the end, it is very likely that they will awaken their own consciousness. And as the fire of the underworld gradually grows larger, the possessed person is also very likely to obtain more special abilities from it. In this way, they will Take the initiative to find other possessed people. This is like raising Gu, and the final winner is the Gu King!"

Claire shrugged: "It sounds threatening. But don't you also have a fire from the underworld in your hand? Maybe you will be the last Gu king?"

Darke said helplessly: "I repeat again, I did not accept the possession of the fire of the underworld!"

Claire laughed: "Then have you ever wondered why you can see it and we can't?"

Darke's tone froze immediately, and he hesitated: "It may be because I won the duel. According to the rules of the duel, I have obtained the ownership of this fire of the underworld?"

He drew a circle with his index finger, and the underworld fire circled with his fingertips, looking like an obedient puppy.

Yarvette frowned and said: "In any case, you must be cautious. Once the fire of the underworld changes, tell mom immediately. If you are in the academy, go to Principal Arte. Now we know nothing about the fire of the underworld. I know, I have to guard against it."

Dak nodded, and said again: "Actually, the most troublesome thing about the fire of the underworld is that we lack awareness of it. Except for the two of you, no one can even perceive it."

"That's true." Yarvette said, "Otherwise, we could search out all the possessed persons, and then carry out the fusion experiment of the fire of the underworld in a planned way. However, based on what we have seen so far, this is basically impossible Yes. But you don’t have to worry too much, mother will support you when the sky falls.”

Duck couldn't help but replied, "Yes."

……

The "invisibility" of the fire of the underworld makes it very difficult to find the possessor.

And the nature of "raising Gu" in this matter also makes it inappropriate to be made public.

Otherwise, it will only promote the faster progress of "raising Gu".

After Yalvette and Claire gained a clear understanding of some of the characteristics of the fire of the underworld through Dark's hand, they put this matter aside for the time being.

They haven't forgotten that there will be a farewell party for Hephaes and Pandora tonight.

And Hefes and Pandora didn't change their minds about leaving because of this sudden accident.

By eight o'clock in the evening, the banquet hall was already filled with all kinds of delicacies.

Then Dak and the others entered the arena together with the wizard elves.

Tonight's banquet was not as formal as Dak's birthday party, and all the people who attended the party were their own people.

The magic elves ran happily in the hall, adding a lot of lively atmosphere to this farewell party.

After they were full of wine and food, everyone stepped onto the stage and danced ballroom dancing.

In the middle of the dance, Pandora quietly pulled Dak out of the dance floor.

The teenagers and girls came to the balcony, the warm summer wind caressed their cheeks, the bright moon hung above the night, their faces were flushed like clouds.

"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight."
