Konoha: Naruto will win no matter what choice he makes! Chapter 093

Dark, who had successfully separated from Diana and Rose, walked alone in a cold and dimly lit corner of the castle.

The further away from the classrooms, the fewer students there were.

And higher-grade students usually went straight to the higher floors, where there were more ghosts with higher star ratings!

So the uninhabited areas on the second and third floors of the castle would be the most suitable hunting grounds for lower-grade students.

But Dark found that he seemed to have underestimated the gloom and horror of the castle.

It was already late autumn with a sudden drop in temperature, and the occasional night wind blowing in would make people shiver involuntarily.

He cupped his hands and breathed into them, unable to resist summoning his familiar—DemiDevimon!

“Are you my master?”

“Yes, I am.”

“Eh eh eh???”

Seeing his master, who never answered him, suddenly replied normally for once.

DemiDevimon suddenly felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and then his face instantly dropped.

“Tap, tap, tap…”

Clear footsteps echoed in the silent, empty castle, gradually drawing closer as time passed.

DemiDevimon stared, trembling all over, at the shadow in the corner ahead.

A Jack-o’-lantern, all muscle below the pumpkin, slowly revealed half of itself, with a dim yellow candle flame burning inside its empty pumpkin head.

“Jack!”

The Jack-o’-lantern let out a fierce growl, its dark muscles instantly bulging. The moment it saw Dark, it suddenly accelerated!

…

“No way, Ah Sir?”

DemiDevimon let out a scream of fear, and in an instant, the thought of escape arose.

But just as that thought formed, a dark golden light ball with a long tail drilled into the back of its head.

DemiDevimon, who had been timid beyond measure just now, instantly focused its pupils, and its gaze towards that Jack-o’-lantern was filled with deep disdain and contempt.

“A mere mongrel that couldn’t even survive in the lowest depths of hell, dares to roar in front of me?”

DemiDevimon, with its wings covering its front like a cloak, actually displayed the demeanor of Myotismon.

It looked down at the Jack-o’-lantern with the corner of its eye, and the moment it ran over, it shot out three [Small Darts]!

“Die!”

…

“Puff!”

One of the syringes pierced the muscle in the Jack-o’-lantern’s left shoulder, but the other two syringes missed entirely.

The Jack-o’-lantern completed its dodge the moment it sensed danger, lowering itself as its shoulder was hit, then tensing its leg muscles and exploding forward.

“Whoosh!”

It actually leaped into the air.

Directly crossing the distance between itself and DemiDevimon, its demonic claws fiercely swiped at DemiDevimon flying in the air!

“Jack!”

It was as if space itself was torn apart.

Three dark claw shadows appeared in the air!

However, DemiDevimon, who had maintained absolute arrogance and not retreated a single step from beginning to end, suddenly vanished into thin air!

“Jack?”

By the time the Jack-o’-lantern reacted again, the shark-headed syringe had already pierced the relatively fragile pumpkin wall, hitting the candle flame inside the pumpkin heart!

“Puff!”

The candle flame suddenly extinguished.

The Jack-o’-lantern’s falling corpse gradually turned into starlight, leaving only a small, beautifully packaged pumpkin pie floating in the air.

Dark then walked over from behind and grabbed the pumpkin pie.

[Credits + 30]

“Is it really a three-star ghost?”

Dark carefully peeled open the tin foil packaging of the pumpkin pie, put away the wrapper, and then tossed the pumpkin pie to DemiDevimon.

“Bang!”

DemiDevimon swatted the pumpkin pie away with a wing.

“I am DemiDevimon, I do not eat food given out of charity!”

(ーー゛)

…

“Those who are overly arrogant, if their strength doesn’t match, the more you look at them, the more they resemble an idiot.”

Dark silently summarized his experience.

And took it as a lesson.

During the battle with the Jack-o’-lantern just now, DemiDevimon stubbornly stuck to its deep-seated arrogance and neither dodged nor avoided.

It was only thanks to him promptly using the House Card to forcibly recall it that it dodged the almost fatal claw strike of the three-star [Jack-o’-lantern]!

Otherwise, DemiDevimon would probably be pitifully waiting to recover in the House Card, broken and battered.

“But why is this Jack-o’-lantern different from the ones we encountered before?”

Recalling the Jack-o’-lanterns he had encountered with Diana and the others, Dark felt a little nervous.

Normal Jack-o’-lanterns should clearly be small goblins with pumpkin heads and slender limbs, at most holding a small axe, and even that would be an unsharpened wooden axe.

But what the hell was that muscular pumpkin he just encountered?

Professor Cazer shouldn’t have such a bizarre sense of humor, right?

As he was thinking, Dark’s steps suddenly stiffened.

He finally remembered.

While he was painstakingly grading the first-year arithmetic homework, the person Professor Cazer called to help make ghosts was precisely that little pixie named “Lily”!

At this moment, Dark suddenly had some ominous premonitions.

…

Bearing a strong sense of foreboding, Dark turned into an unused classroom filled with dust.

Theoretically, when professors place ghosts, they always hide more aggressive ones indoors or in some hidden corner.

The ghosts that appear in the corridors to tease students are all of the more humorous type.

To earn credits faster, one must seek out these hidden ghosts that offer extra credit rewards.

Step into the shadows to reap treasures.

“Bang!”

The two large doors at the front and back of the classroom suddenly closed.

The window on the other side, however, was blown open by a strong wind, and fresh red blood flowed down the worn curtains, gradually staining them red.

Dark held his breath, his right hand already reaching into his card pouch.

DemiDevimon still maintained its [Arrogance I] state, flying in the air with its chin held high.

“Whoosh!”

Another gust of wind blew in.

The bright moonlight shone through the gap in the blown-open curtains, bringing a glimmer of light into the dark classroom.

Dark bit his teeth tightly.

Behind the blown-away curtain, a monster with a human head and a bird’s body stood motionless on the window sill at some unknown point.

In its large mouth, revealing two fangs, it was actually holding a bleeding severed hand!

Although it was unlikely to be a real severed hand, Dark still couldn’t help but shiver.

“Harpy!”

…

…

Battle commenced 10 seconds after meeting.

The proud DemiDevimon seemed to feel humiliated by its earlier defeat against the Jack-o’-lantern.

This time, without Dark’s command, it bravely charged forward!

“Swift!”

Dark immediately drew a [Joy Card], and this time the summoning speed was even faster.

The [Joy Card] took effect almost immediately, and the light it emitted shone into the Harpy’s eyes.

This momentary confusion caused the Harpy to miss its chance to react immediately.

DemiDevimon was able to kick her in the face, sending her flying!

“Screech—”

The Harpy’s shriek came from below the window.
