The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

"Demon magic is not suitable for us to learn, so are you still keeping this Prison of Light and Flame? Are you still capturing demons?" Lilith asked.

"Of course we'll keep them!" Moran looked at the rain outside and said decisively, "This is just a Nightmare Demon. It's young and doesn't know much. It's not a powerful being in the Abyss. We need to capture more and probe its memories to gain a more thorough understanding of the demon race. At the very least, we can let them practice their mental magic."

She went to so much trouble, designing and creating the {Radiant Prison} and {Teleportation Card} specifically for demons, bothering Garona and the others for help, and spending a fortune to get the demons traded to them. How could she just let it go by only scavenging the memories of one demon?

Since Lady Carmela and the others haven't returned yet, and the wilderness isn't completely safe, she won't be leaving the wilderness for the time being.

Instead, we should gather more memories of demons and understand the relationship between the power of evil thoughts and desires and the soul.

However, the demons whose memories have already been plundered don't need to stay in the Light Flame Prison and take up space.

It was only after reading the Nightmare Demon's memories that Moran realized that the name he used to sign the Dawn Society membership contract, while indeed his real name, was not his complete name.

This small part of his real name can represent him and make the contract effective, but because it is not a complete name, the real name detonation spell cannot truly work.

However, she still managed to dig out the nightmare demon's full real name from the depths of his memory.

Thinking of this, she took out a strand of hair that she had casually plucked from the Nightmare Demon's head when she was reading his memories.

Sprinkle some silver powder on top, then loudly recite:

"Vhal'xaris'khel, khar'zun!"

As soon as the recitation was finished, the silver-dusted hair spontaneously combusted. In less than a breath, the hair was burned to ashes, which were then blown away by the wind without leaving a trace.

"Is that all?" Vasita asked curiously, "Is the Nightmare Demon dead?"

Moran nodded.

Vasita, supporting herself with a giant water fern leaf, rushed into the rain and headed straight for cell number seven on the first floor of the Radiant Prison.

To my shock, the Nightmare Demon in the prison had vanished.

Only a small patch of black ash and a scattered red thorn remained on the spot.

He took out his camera, snapped a few photos, and then left the Light Flame Prison.

“He’s really dead! He’s turned into a pool of black ash!” Vasita showed them the photos.

"Why are the demons' true names so deadly to them?" Lilith asked, looking at the ashes in the photo.

"Their true names are closely linked to their souls. The more souls they harvest and devour, the longer their true names become. Their true names are essentially a part of their souls."

Moran didn't know much about the specifics either.

The demon race is truly devoid of any culture other than the law of the jungle and slaughter.

Besides their innate path to advancement and survival instincts, their blood and souls contain only the knowledge of demonic language.

All other knowledge was acquired by harvesting other people's souls and stealing their memories.

This knowledge also largely comes from other races.

Demons themselves don't study their origins, bloodlines, or abilities, nor do they have any desire to learn or research them. They themselves don't even understand what their true name is, let alone what their weakness is, let alone other races.

Moran's communication card received a new message notification. She glanced at it and said to her friends, "A new demon has arrived. I'm going to check it out."

This time it's a fire demon.

"Even though all the blood has been drained, it's still alive. No wonder it has the strongest physique among mid-level demons!" Vasita exclaimed in surprise.

“But compared to the Nightmare Demon, the Balrog is really much uglier!” Sylph looked at the huge creature in the cell whose arms were covered with lava pustules and which was still spewing black smoke, and said, “He and the Nightmare Demon look like they’re from completely different races!”

This fire demon, too, could not escape the fate of having its memories copied, its true name exposed, and then dying under the True Name Explosion Technique.

News that witches were buying up living demons quickly spread among the members of the Dawn Society.

Later on, when people caught demons, they no longer needed to transport them all the way to the sacred mountains to hand them over to witches. Instead, they would simply find a witch nearby and sell the demons to her.

Not only can you gain friendship points and other items from the Dawn Society, but you can also jump the queue to challenge the witch once.

In no time, Moran's Radiant Prison was overrun with demons, and white pointed tents stretched from her courtyard all the way outside.

Later on, she became too lazy to copy the memories of the same demons anymore. She simply found his real name from his memories and detonated it with a True Name Detonation spell.

As Moran continued killing, he became worried that the True Name Detonation spell might not be able to destroy the demon's body and soul together.

The soul of a demon is inherently filled with evil desires and thoughts. When it dies, it returns to the abyss and is nurtured by the abyss into a new demon.

"So, I killed him for nothing?"

Moran thought about it more and more and felt that this was very likely.

However, apart from the holy light magic of angels, no other magic has the power to purify the soul.

"Hire an angel to help purify the demon?"

Moran shook her head. The Dawn Learning wasn't that important to ordinary angels, except for Miriam, a rebellious angel who needed candy. She could hardly afford to hire an angel.

As for Millie, since she is unwilling to condense the Ring of Faith, her Holy Light Magic is not much stronger than ordinary Light Magic, and its purification effect on evil forces will not be very strong. It will probably be difficult for her to purify mid-level demons.

"Sigh! Why must angelic magic always involve abandoning emotions!" Moran said, looking troubled. "If only I could manage my emotions. When I need to use the power of faith to strengthen light magic and form holy light magic, I can discard my emotions. When I don't need to cast spells, my emotions can return... Wait, that doesn't seem impossible!"

She is human and cannot be without emotions, but the Book of Cards is the manifestation of her talent, merely a tool. She can be completely devoid of emotions and even unaffected by various evil thoughts and desires!
She can't cast angelic or demonic magic, but she knows all the related knowledge. The Book of Cards is entirely based on her abilities to create corresponding cards!

Moran, realizing this, could no longer sit still: "I'm full, I'm going back to study the new cards!"

"Hey!" Vasita looked at the table full of food. "What did you eat to get full?!"

"Judging from this, she has a way to properly deal with those demons," Lilith guessed.

Moran has been worrying about this for a long time. (End of Chapter)
