The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Moran spent a full seven days conducting this study.

Every morning, Sylph would go to check on the increasingly plump fruit on the mutated Tree of Life. Vasita and Lilith often fought on the grass, but Moran never stepped out of the house again.

Only the white pointed tents that quietly appeared around her residence every few days silently proved that she was still working tirelessly inside.

On this afternoon, the warm sunlight shone on the grass, and Sylph was enjoying a delicate afternoon tea with Vasita and Lilith.

Suddenly, a whirlwind carrying a pale purple light swept out of the house, and Moran burst out of the door with a trembling shout of excitement: "I did it!"

"Have you found a proper way to kill the demon?" Lilith's teapot remained motionless as amber tea steadily poured into the porcelain cup, her tone as calm as if she were discussing the weather.

Dundunmu immediately sprinted over with his root-like legs and caught Moran just in time, who was about to fall directly onto the grass due to the force of his charge.

Vasida casually pushed the porcelain plate full of snacks in front of her: "Tell me quickly, what is the method?"

Moran cleared her throat and solemnly took out a thick stack of cards from her bosom, each one shimmering with a holy light in the sunlight: "Come and see them!"

"{Spell Card - Holy Light Flame}, {Spell Card - Holy Light Healing}, {Spell Card - Holy Radiance Shield}, {Spell Card - Evil Manifestation}, {Spell Card - Ring of Judgment}"

Sylph read out the card names one by one, then suddenly her eyes widened. "Isn't this the Holy Light Magic of Angels? Isn't it said that Holy Light Magic requires abandoning emotions and relying on the power of faith to be effective? You wouldn't..."

Before the words were even finished, the three of them simultaneously showed expressions of worry, their gazes all falling on Moran's face.

"Come on! Moran, smile!" Vasita eagerly cupped Moran's cheeks, her soft fingertips gently pressing her apple cheeks, as if to confirm some important evidence.

Moran forced a stiff smile, his lips twitching unnaturally.

"It's over! You've become expressionless like those angels!" Vasita gasped, her voice rising eight octaves. "Are you insane? You're willing to sacrifice yourself to destroy demons? What good are the demons' souls returning to the abyss? The new demons won't be the same as before!"

Moran tried desperately to break free from Vasita's clutches, but to no avail. He could only helplessly argue, "How can I possibly smile naturally when you suddenly ask me to? Don't worry, I really haven't turned into a heartless angel!"

“Indeed!” Sylph pointed to Moran’s head after careful observation. “There is no halo above her head that is typical of angels.”

"So how did you do that?" Lilith put down her teacup and asked the crucial question.

“I didn’t personally cast the Holy Light magic,” Moran finally broke free from Vasita’s hands, proudly waving the cards in his hand. “These cards were made from the Book of Cards. The Book of Cards has no emotions to discard, nor is it affected by the power of faith converted from magic, so naturally these problems don’t exist!” “Are you sure the Book of Cards won’t turn around and affect you?” Lilith frowned slightly, clearly not entirely reassured.

“No!” Moran answered decisively. “I’ve checked my condition repeatedly, and everything is normal! Although our will can influence the manifestation of our talents, the manifestation itself has no sentience and cannot influence us in the opposite direction. However…”

She paused briefly, "Currently, I can only create these directly usable {magic cards}. If it's a {skill card}, the faith power and light element power output after the card completes energy conversion will still affect the user."

"Being able to create a {magic card} is already quite remarkable." Sylph was also happy for her. "For you, the {magic card} and {skill card} have almost the same effect. Now you can completely purify those demons."

“I’ll get rid of them all later, so they don’t take up space here.” Moran said, pulling out a handful of dark cards from his pocket. “By the way, I also tried to make some demon magic {magic cards}, but only the dark magic cards were successful. The core ability-related magic, soul magic, and disguise magic all failed to be made. The {Card Book} indicated that it lacks important materials. I guess it might require soul-related materials.”

Looking at the stack of cards in his hand, Moran couldn't help but smile.

The thought that the magical knowledge he had acquired from the memories of demons and angels had ultimately become part of his own power filled him with joy.

Vasita carefully observed Moran's animated expression, finally confirming that her emotions were indeed intact. She then breathed a sigh of relief and asked other questions:

"Are you planning to only list these cards in the Witch Edition Card Magic Shop?"

“No!” Moran shook his head, tapping his fingertip on the table, his eyes gleaming with shrewdness. “I plan to select a portion of the weakened or lower-level versions of the {magic cards} and put them up for public sale in the Dawn Academy’s card shop. Especially those {magic cards} related to Holy Light magic.”

She paused, then took out another knowledge card: "Plus this—an abridged version that doesn't involve specific magical knowledge, but only explains the characteristics of the demon race {Knowledge Card - Demon Explained}."

Her fingertips traced lightly across the card, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Hmm... I'll also include some discussion about the threat of the Abyss, so readers understand that lust and evil thoughts can corrupt souls, and the more corrupted souls there are, the stronger the Abyss will become, and the more numerous and powerful demons it will breed. If this continues, the entire world of Valen may be dragged into the embrace of the Abyss."

Moran had been poring over too many demons’ memories these days, and those twisted and dark fragments convinced her that it was unwise to let the power of the abyss continue to grow.

However, she also knew clearly that as long as ordinary beings other than witches existed in the world, evil thoughts and desires would never disappear, and the abyss would never truly perish.

"Light can only ever suppress darkness, but it can never make the world only have light," she said softly.

Lilith chuckled softly upon hearing this, a hint of amusement flashing in her ruby-like eyes:
"I'm really looking forward to seeing how those demons who dare to come to the surface world will react..."

Vasita imagined the demons arriving on the surface world, intending to reap delicious souls, only to find that each one possessed several Holy Light magic cards. She couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive: "I can only say, good luck to them!" (End of Chapter)
