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 disappeared naturally.

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 delivered 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.

Then he took Pandora and Aurora with him, and quickly left the "Haunted by Dreams" clubhouse.

……

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 flourishing garden where "Dream of Dreams" 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 was still brightly lit, and the maids of the "Aries Palace Maid Group" were 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 with the "Eye of the True Dragon" 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 of them 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 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: "Actually, I got some fragmentary memories from this fire of the underworld. This fire of the underworld is probably The manifestation of some fragment of individual consciousness, of which it is only a small part."

"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..."
