Chapter 1353

Looking from the bottom up.

The 16th-ranked fourth-year student is Mars Carey from the Knights’ Academy.

A student who was not famous before this.

The 14th-ranked student is the youngest student among the top 16—Dark Dimon from the second-year Nobles’ Academy.

The 13th-ranked student is the fifth-year Nobles’ [Fairy Princess] Eluri Clarissa.

The 12th-ranked student is the sixth-year Fools’ [Strong Attacker] Matthew Beerbom.

The 10th-ranked student is Marshall Wyant from the fourth-year Knights’ Academy.

The 8th-ranked student is a member of the [Sports Club] from the fifth-year Knights’ Academy.

The 7th-ranked student is Winnie Skadi from the fourth-year Magicians’ Academy [Winter Girl].

The 6th-ranked student is Pandora Dragon from the fifth-year Magicians’ Academy [Silver Dragon Girl].

The 5th-ranked student is the vice president of the [Astrology Club] from the fourth-year Fools’ Academy.

The fourth place was the [Dragon Slayer] Luke Becky from the sixth-year Knight Academy!

…

Marshall Wyant, whose number in the [Hidden Snake] was [90008].

Dak didn't pay attention to him, but only remembered his name.

Winnie and Pandora, who he paid more attention to, only made it into the top eight.

However, for a duelist of Pandora's level, the ranking of the points competition only depends on the number of competitions.

I think she and Winnie were both shortlisted after calculation.

The real victory is in the main competition!

…

“March has passed, and the Gold Cup will start on the first Friday of April.”

“On Friday afternoon, there will be an opening ceremony, followed by a single-elimination tournament, a total of eight games.”

“Saturday… there will probably be no tournament on Saturday this year, because Sunday is Easter.”

“Then the quarterfinals of the main tournament will start on the Friday of the second week…”

“Let’s find a way to get through the first round of eliminations first!”

Dake patted his cheek, put down the ranking list, and then washed up and took a bath.

“Senior Pandora, you won’t choose me, will you?”

Suddenly, a rather terrifying thought emerged in Dak’s mind, and his steps could not help but pause.

“Probably not.”

Thinking this way, he soaked himself in the bathtub, took a comfortable bath, and relieved his mental fatigue.

Tomorrow he will start the experiment of refining [Devil King No. 2], and he must adjust himself to the best condition.

…

March 29th, Sunday, cloudy weather.

Dake pushed open the window, looked up at the sky, and saw gray clouds pressing down, and frowned.

"It's not a good sign..."

The so-called right time, right place, and right people.

Today should have been the day when everything was ready, but it turned out badly.

But many of the experimental preparations made yesterday cannot be delayed.

And the soul consciousness of the [Devil King No. 2] should have been impatient, right?

If you shrink your head, you will get a knife. If you stick your head out, you will get a knife. This knife must be cut off.

After breakfast, Dak tidied his appearance, took all the things he should bring, and went out with the [Magic Bookkeeper].

When he went down to the common room, he saw Aurora sitting in the corner reading a book: "Aurora, it's time to go."

"Okay." Aurora inserted a bookmark into the page, closed it, and got up and ran over.

The two left the tower together, and Aurora asked: "Is it finally going to start?"

Dak nodded and replied: "Yes, we can't wait any longer."

Aurora was not there yesterday, but she also knew the original plan.

"How are the preparations going?" she asked.

Dak estimated: "There is always a success rate of 70% to 80%. Considering the difficulty of training a demon king, it is already not low."

Aurora couldn't help but hold the book tightly and said: "Are there any preventive measures?"

Dak said: "According to the experimental data of [Demon King Aleister], corresponding measures have been set up, but basically don't expect them to work. I prefer to call it psychological insurance."

Aurora pursed her lips and said: "What should we do?"

Dak said: "We can only put our hope on Ergani. We must believe in the God of Wisdom."

Aurora said: "What about Witt? Is he useless?"

Dak shook his head. Some regrets said: "It is only a stopgap measure after all. There is no necessary connection between [Devil No. 2] and Witt. If it is really useful, it depends on [Devil No. 1]."

Aurora asked curiously: "[Devil Aleister]?"

Dak nodded and said: "[Devil Aleister] can be used as a radar to search for [Devil No. 2], unless it enters [hibernation state] as soon as it is reborn. But even so, we can find it as soon as he wakes up. So don't be too nervous."

Aurora smiled and said: "But I am not the one who needs to be nervous."

Dak shook his head and smiled.

...

The two quickly came to the secret laboratory behind the teacher's dormitory.

After waiting outside the laboratory for a while, they saw Professor Medea and others coming one after another.

Seeing that all the members of [Wisdom Snake] who could come were all present, Dak looked for them, but did not find Professor Holder Bode, so he knew that Professor Bode had not squeezed into the core layer of the organization after all.

He reached out and flicked off the raindrops on Ergani's head, saying, "Is it raining after all?"

Ergani said, "The spring rain is as soft as butter, which is a good sign."

Dak couldn't help but laugh and said, "That's right."

No matter how you explain it, it's better than having dark clouds covering the sky.

The spring rain stops after it falls.

By the time he starts the experiment, the sky may be clear and the rainbow will be hanging high.

It is indeed a good omen.

…

"Begin preparations."

Dak put on a lab coat, gloves, and a rune wood sign to isolate soul fluctuations. He walked over the purifying magic circle and entered the final laboratory.

Professor Kazel and Professor Harvey had already entered.

The body of [Devil King No. 2] was soaked in a jar and sealed.

And his soul consciousness sank in the golem with [Mud Nightmare Crystal] connected to it, which was now placed on the experimental table.

The experimental preparations for [Devil King No. 2] were more complicated, more thorough and strict than those for [Devil King No. 1] in all aspects.

The requirements for the ability of the experimenters were naturally higher.

But after absorbing the experience of the experiment of refining [Devil King No. 1], and after repeated practice and debugging in the laboratory in the following time, Dak's level of handling the current experiment has improved sharply.

Therefore, he is still quite confident in completing today's refining experiment.

When Ergani, who also changed into a lab coat, entered, Dak and others began to make the final preparations for this experiment.

[Fish on the chopping board] has been cut.

The side dishes and seasonings have been prepared.

The stove is turned on, the flame is lit, and the assistant is in place.

The chef wearing a tall hat raised the kitchen knife.

Dak Dimon opened his eyes, the [Eye of Truth] opened, and golden light flowed out.

The whole world began to look different in his eyes.

Everything went smoothly.

Long-term research, debugging and practice turned into results at this moment.

Dak felt at this time, a completely different calmness from the first time he refined [Devil King No. 1].

He began to gradually master the rhythm of the experiment, and was no longer just pushed forward by the two professors.

An hour later.

Warm-up is over.

Two hours later.

The experiment is halfway through.

Three hours later.

Dak has passed the most difficult step before smelting the materials.

Four hours later.

The noon bell rang above the academy.

People walking in the castle subconsciously turned their heads to look at the spiral clock tower standing upright.

The second-year student of the Noble Academy in the secret laboratory drew the most perfect No. 1 refining array just above the magic card used for refining.

…

Aurora and others who have been watching nervously until now let out a sigh of relief.

They did not expect that the experiment would go so smoothly so far.

In four hours, they reached the most critical step of the entire refining - material smelting!

As the operator of the experiment, Dak did not dare to relax at all and reached out to take the advanced thinking bottle handed over by Ergani.

The pink liquid was rippling in the thinking bottle, which was the liquefied [Paradise Version of Bliss].

After nearly a month, [Paradise] has produced nearly 100 points of [Paradise Version Bliss] again, and together with the 30 points of [Paradise Version Bliss] left before, it is more than 120 points!

Even if the difficulty of smelting [Devil King No. 2] is twice that of [Devil King No. 1], these 120 points of [Paradise Version Bliss] are definitely enough.

Almost all possible accidents have been taken into account.

The possibility of failure has been compressed to the limit of the limit.

This is a refining that can only succeed, not fail!

In the life of a magician, he must have experienced several similar refining experiments. Only by breaking through again and again can he reach the peak.

Dak picked up the [Magic Brain Dropper], extracted a drop of [Paradise Version Bliss] from the Thinking Bottle, and carefully dripped it into the light array of the No. 1 refining array.

The pink light turned into ripples like water, gently spreading to the surroundings.

The entire smelting environment was slowly adjusted to the most suitable level.

Then he began to put various materials that had been processed in advance into it and refined them one by one.

Compared with the materials used to refine [Devil King No. 1], the materials refined in this experiment were more refined and used more and more complex materials.

In other words, the difficulty of refining was raised.

But Dak's ability to use and understand these materials has also become higher.

Even the amount of his own magic power and his ability to control magic power have made great progress in this month.
