The Villain Only Wants To Live a Buddhist Life
Chapter 249: Dark Demon’s Fusion (1.5 Chapters)

Dark had already realized that Pandora-senpai's childhood experience would not be smooth, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

The Banished Forest, as the name suggested, was the place where sinners were exiled.

Although deprecated after the war, the existence of the Banished Forest had not been forgotten.

It was just that there was indeed a curse in that land, so no one wanted to approach it.

Pandora-senpai was able to get out of the Banished Forest alive, it was a great fortune among misfortunes.

As for why she grew up in the Banished Forest...

Dark didn't want to get into it.

The war had caused an unimaginable chaos, and not all those sent to the Banished Forest were guilty.

A large part of them were "sinners" but couldn't be punished.

Another part was innocent family members, and even unwarranted charges.

And according to Pandora-senpai's age, she should have been sent in not long after she was born.

Since Principal Arte picked her up, it could already explain a lot.

...

Dark took a breath, trying not to show any traces of his expression.

On Christmas Eve, he had no idea that Pandora-senpai left school to visit the grave.

Christmas was supposed to be a day for family reunion, but she could only mourn the dead.

...

"Don't do that." Pandora-senpai suddenly burst out chuckling. "I'm not that vulnerable. And..."

She raised her index finger again, put it to her lips, and shook her head slightly: "I can't say it anymore, I have to keep it a secret."

Dark was confused, but the muscles on his face visibly relaxed.

He said, "Senpai, since you're back..."

Pandora smiled and said, "[Fusion] right? Two o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow, okay?"

Dark suddenly smiled: "Of course."

The two then chatted about other things in a low voice.

When Pandora heard that Dark had successfully joined the dueling club, she patted her forehead and sighed: "I actually forgot about this, but congratulations."

Dark: "It sounds so insincere."

"It's not difficult after all." Pandora said with a smile, then got up and said, "Okay, I have something to do tonight, so I'll go back first. See you tomorrow."

Dark reached out and waved: "See you tomorrow."

After Pandora disappeared at the door of the reading room, Dark suddenly realized: "Pandora-senpai came to see me on purpose?"

But after thinking about it, he felt that it was unlikely: "No, she should be here to look for Ms. Bella, and see me along the way. After all, she couldn't have known in advance that I was here."

...

Dark propped his chin and analyzed rationally.

But he didn't notice that White, who was also in the reading room, had been peeking over here for a long time.

White had been peeking since Pandora came in, just not looking obviously in order not to be noticed.

The tip of his pen hanging on the paper had not moved for a long time.

Robert, who was sitting across from him, was like a "sponge", absorbing knowledge frantically - even though the knowledge in the book was pitiful.

But he was still so addicted to it that he didn't notice White's pause at all.

He never thought he would one day have such a thirst for knowledge.

But it felt great.

...

The next morning.

Dark went to the Traveller Street early in the morning for the afternoon experiment, and it took him a long time to buy a total of three [Fusion] materials.

He had been studying [Fusion] for a long time, and this time was the time to verify the results!

Before two o'clock in the afternoon.

Dark brought materials, notes, and the key to the laboratory, and came to the library ahead of schedule.

Pandora-senpai was chatting happily with Ms. Bella. When she saw him at the door, she lowered her head and said a few words to Ms. Bella with a smile, and walked out from behind the counter.

"Let's go."

"Mhm."

The two smiled at each other without saying anything.

But after entering the laboratory, the relaxed atmosphere suddenly subsided.

It was time to start the experiment!

...

Dark had already had a failure experience, so he did not think that today's [Fusion] crafting would definitely be successful.

The [Fusion] magic card itself was a magic card full of uncertainties, and the process of making it was also the same.

Even if one believed that the preparation they made was perfect, when they actually did it, there were often a lot of unstable factors.

In the crafting of the [Fusion] magic card, luck actually occupied a large factor.

Only by repeated experiments and repeated crafting would one have a chance to succeed in making one.

"Check the Magic Charm first." Pandora-senpai flipped over Dark's notebook and quickly read it.

Dark's analysis of various issues was so meticulous that it made Pandora impossible to feel that this was a first-year student's notebook.

Especially the writing of [Magic Charm] looked more perfect than the last time.

But just "looking" wasn't enough.

During the entire experiment, Pandora only gave some pointers at critical moments, and Dark did everything else himself.

It took about half an hour, Dark completed the checking of the [Fusion] Magic Charm, and made fine adjustments according to the values ​​of various indicators, and finally got a Magic Charm that perfectly fit his current state.

After that, it was the formal crafting!

The essence of [Fusion] was to use two or more magical spirits as the core material, so as to make a brand new magical spirit on the spot.

Its difference from the real magical spirit was that this process was temporary, reversible and unstable.

In this way, many difficult problems could be avoided.

Using the [Fusion] card would consume a huge amount of magic energy, and normal Magisters did not have spare magic energy to use the [Fusion].

Dark took out the first pack of material, opened it and processed it separately, and then put it away in different categories.

If the first experiment failed, those unused materials could be kept for the next round.

Diligence and frugality was a good habit.

Three twenty-two in the afternoon.

With a sudden conflict of two materials, all the effort was in vain.

Affected by this, the materials integrated into the magic card reacted with each other, spurting out a large number of dark green bubbles, and it exploded with a "bang"!

But the power of the explosion was not strong, so Dark was relatively calm.

A dragon maiden in a white battle dress appeared before him in time, and used the ultimate ability [Four Shields of Light] to seal the blasted green paste.

Dark turned around and asked, "Senpai, what's the problem this time?"

Pandora waved the magic card to call back the dragon maiden, and said, "There is a high probability that there is a problem with the material itself. The growth, picking, refining, and preservation of the material will have many elements involved, and some elements that cannot be detected at all often lead to the failure of the experiment, which is normal."

Dark nodded and started to clean up the remnants.

Since it was not a problem coming from him, it was fine to continue with the second experiment.

It was just a pity that he wasted 1500 credits worth of materials.

Four forty-two in the afternoon.

The second experiment... also failed!

The reason was a mistake during the operation, the magic energy vibrated too fast, and the mutation reaction occurred before the fusion of the materials became stable.

After reviewing the mistake for five minutes, Dark took a deep breath and resolutely started the third experiment.

Failure was not scary, the scary thing was that he couldn't find the reason for the failure.

Then the third experiment.

The goddess of luck finally prostrated at the feet of the demon god this time.

The process from start to finish was very smooth.

Dark carefully picked up the formed magic card with the tweezers from the black slimy puddle, and put it under the tap to rinse it clean.

A magic card with a faint halo was gradually exposed to the air.

"Success!"

The moment he saw the face of the card clearly, Dark exclaimed in surprise.

The card face of this magic card was exactly the same as the picture of Two Fish in the record!

…

[Card name: Fusion]

[Type: Magic Spell Card]

[Effect: Fusion]

…

[Lust +1]

Dark hurriedly held back his laugh.

The crafting of [Fusion] was of great significance to him, and almost instantly raised his upper limit to a level that was unmatched before.

If he had a fusion card in his hand when he encountered a vampire in the secret passage, he might not have fallen into a hard fight.

Of course, the premise was that the effect of [Fusion] was the same as he expected, and it could advance the evolution of Gatomon and Black Gatomon!

If it wasn't for Pandora-senpai still by his side, he would have rushed back to the dormitory to try it already.

"Senpai." Dark turned around.

Pandora stretched out her slender fingers and chuckled, "Can I have a look."

Dark solemnly passed the [Fusion] magic card into her hands.

The slight touch of the fingertips gave a hint of coldness.

Pandora took the [Fusion] magic card and looked at it carefully: "Sure enough, the pattern on the card is slightly different from mine."

Dark asked: "Is this because of the difference in the Magic Charm?"

Pandora nodded: "That's the main reason. The more advanced the magic card is, the deeper the personal imprint will be. So even if you don't use the mind lock, you don't have to worry about it being stolen."

As she explained, she injected a little magic energy into the card.

But after the magic energy went into the card, the [Fusion] card did not respond at all.

Pandora continued: "This [fusion] looks like it's completed at first glance, but it's not clear if it's useful. You can do an experiment first and let me know the results tomorrow afternoon. Mhm, I'll still be the librarian of the library."

Dark retrieved the [Fusion] card and said sincerely, "Thank you, senpai!"

...

After the lab was cleaned up, Dark quickly said goodbye to Pandora-senpai.

Of course, he knew that Pandora-senpai said this on purpose. The purpose was to let him return to the dormitory to continue the experiment as soon as possible, instead of inviting her to dinner.

As for the thank you gift...

He could still give it tomorrow.

...

But at this time, Dark didn't have time to think about this.

The success of the experiment was always exciting, not to mention the successful crafting of the [Fusion] card, which was an advanced card.

In theory, without the help of Pandora-senpai, he probably wouldn't be able to successfully craft this magic card until the third or fourth year.
