Chapter 255: The Infinite Potential of Sun Eevee (4k)
Dark extended his hand and placed Lil’Eevee on his knee, instinctively scratching its chin before he used a regular summoning spell to activate “Pride III.”
The emblem of “Pride” was red like the sun, but after being refined into a card, it turned dark gold, emitting light of the same color.
The light of “Pride II” tended more towards black, deeper and more profound.
“Pride III’s” light, however, tended more towards gold, more splendid!
As the light of “Pride III” illuminated every corner of the bedroom with the surge of mana, all the golems were inevitably affected, their gazes changing as they looked around.
But only Imp Beast grinned.
“It’s the familiar taste!”
…
In the center where the light converged, the symbol of “Pride” slowly appeared on Eevee’s forehead.
It slightly raised its head, and the surrounding dark golden light rapidly converged into this emblem.
As the light converged, the emblem gradually became hotter, the golden light becoming even more splendid.
Like the scorching sun, high above, overlooking the day.
Suddenly, the golden light erupted.
From top to bottom, completely covering Eevee’s body.
Its form underwent dramatic changes within the golden light!
Plump limbs became slender.
The fluffy tail split at the end.
The golden light gradually dissipated.
A small feline creature, even smaller than Fairy Eevee, came into view.
Eevee – Sun Eevee.
“Indeed, it’s Sun Eevee!”
Like a purple elemental, Sun Eevee became even more slender after evolving.
Its entire body was covered in soft, fine purple fur, giving a velvet-like touch when touched.
It was said that it could sense air currents through its fur and use this to detect weather changes and opponents’ movements.
A red gemstone was embedded on its forehead, and its long cat tail split at the end, resembling the legendary cat demon.
Upon closer inspection, one could see faintly within the gemstone the symbol of “Pride.”
To better understand the changes in Sun Eevee, Dark had already taken Eevee’s mana card.
He immediately injected a bit of mana and received feedback.
…
[Image: Sun Eevee]
[Card Name: Magical Beast (Sun Eevee)]
[Type: Elemental Card]
[Level: ????]
[Race: Avian-beast Kin]
[Attribute: Psychic Type]
[Mana: 2000]
[Attack: 1700]
[Defense: 900]
[Ultimate Skills: Mana Reflection, Telekinesis, Future Sight]
…
“As expected, three skills.”
After evolving, Sun Eevee was predictably a four-star orange card.
The peak mana value and barely acceptable attack and defense stats gave this mana card its own unique characteristics.
Beyond surface data, Sun Eevee possessed extraordinary agility and speed.
And the three ultimate skills it mastered…
To be honest, they were divine!
The ultimate skill—“Mana Reflection”—was a passive skill considered a bug!
[Mana Reflection: While active, the user continuously reflects magic back to the caster, nullifying any change-type skills directed at them.]
Change-type skills refer to those that don’t directly inflict damage but alter the opponent’s status or stats.
A simple example is Bastemon’s “Confusion,” which is a change-type skill!
Wit’s “Forbidden Love.”
Emma’s “Golden Treasure Chest.”
Sphinx Cat’s “Shadow Step.”
They all fall under the category of change-type skills!
This means that Sun Eevee, equipped with the passive skill “Mana Reflection,” can completely avoid control from these powerful moves and even reflect them back!
For first-year students lacking in dispelling methods, such a mana reflection skill is the bane of control-oriented mana spirits!
…
Dark looked down at the curled-up Sun Eevee on his knee, gently stroking its smooth short fur with slight confusion.
Mana spirits evolved under the influence of “Pride III” should be more active.
For example, climbing to the top of a cat tower and shouting, “I am the great Bright Star…”
Such a mild reaction from this Sun Eevee was rare.
However, unseen by him, Sun Eevee was narrowing its eyes and looking at the other mana spirits, accumulating pride in its heart.
Perhaps, in Sun Eevee’s eyes, its knee was the highest throne!
…
Though somewhat puzzled, Dark didn’t dwell on it, focusing more on Sun Eevee’s ultimate skills.
For mana spirits, ultimate skills are the true essence.
Good ultimate skills can make one overlook the deficiencies in stats.
Among Sun Eevee’s three skills, apart from “Mana Reflection,” the others were also quite impressive.
The second ultimate skill, “Telekinesis,” though a low-power psychic type skill, had wide application in practice.
[Telkinesis: Sends weak telekinetic force to attack the opponent, sometimes causing confusion.]
It resembled a psychic’s ability, not only for attacking but also for moving objects normally!
More importantly, it had no cooldown, only consuming mana each time it was used.
This provided significant advantages.
The third ultimate skill, “Future Sight,” was a skill that could be deeply developed!
[Future Sight: Predicts the future, placing the designated field into a state of future attacks. After 30 seconds, the future attack state ends, and opponents on the field will receive psychic attribute damage.]
The power of “Future Sight” was not inferior to “Destructive Death Ray.”
If we exclude the “prognostication” factor, it appears to be a delayed trap-type skill.
Setting a trap 30 seconds in advance and then triggering it after 30 seconds, causing unavoidable damage to the enemy.
In special scenarios, this ultimate skill often yields unexpected results.
For instance, if Sun Eevee uses “Future Sight” and then sacrifices itself, the mana spirit summoned by the opponent 30 seconds later will still be attacked by “Future Sight.”
…
On the other hand, “Future Sight” means Sun Eevee has gained the ability to “prognosticate”!
If this skill is deeply developed, Sun Eevee might acquire abilities like “Future Vision,” dodging attacks in battle and compensating for defensive weaknesses.
Moreover, if Sun Eevee could learn and master more knowledge, it could likely become a genuine fortune-teller—a real prophet—not just those who deceive!
…
Overall, Dark was very satisfied with Sun Eevee’s three ultimate skills.
For ordinary mana spirits, these skills were considered powerful ultimate skills. For intelligent mana spirits, they symbolized super potential!
Dark was even considering whether to bring Lil’Eevee along next time for astronomy class.
“Ahhh—”
He accidentally applied a bit too much force while petting, and Sun Eevee let out a slight protest.
Despite sounding like a playful whine, it conveyed a hint of arrogance, as if “one beneath all, yet above all.”
“Indeed, ‘Pride’ remains proud.”
Dark felt relieved.
“With some time left, let’s test the skills!”
Thinking this, Dark looked up at Imp Beast and said, “Imp Beast, come here.”
Imp Beast tilted its head and asked, “Is it my turn? So soon?”
Though puzzled, Imp Beast flew to the experiment table and stood obediently.
Dark took out a “Pride II” card and shot a dark golden orb at it.
“Just like that?”
Imp Beast shook its head, slightly displeased.
“Mordo mordo!”
…
With growing maturity and repeated experiences of “Pride,” Imp Beast’s tolerance had clearly increased.
“Pride II” alone couldn’t overwhelm it anymore.
Dark noticed this issue but it wasn’t today’s research focus.
He picked up Sun Eevee from his knee, positioning it facing outward, holding it with his arm.
Then he told Imp Beast, “Come, use ‘Demon Hypnosis’ on it.”
“Huh? Really? Can I?”
Imp Beast’s eyes lit up with joy deep within.
Ever since its evolution, Sun Eevee had been glaring at it, making it increasingly annoyed.
Unexpectedly, it had this chance so quickly to punish it under its owner’s name!
“Isn’t it just experiencing evolution early? What’s so special about that? Let me show you the might of Demon Beast!”
With these thoughts, Imp Beast spread its wings and flew high, looking down at Sun Eevee in Dark’s arms, its eyes suddenly widening, “Demon Hypnosis!”
Instantly, hypnotic waves began to radiate from its eyes.
Imp Beast’s lips curved into a Nike logo.
But in the next instant:
The hypnotic waves that just touched Sun Eevee quickly returned, shooting straight back into its brain!
“Ah!”
Caught off guard, Imp Beast couldn’t react and fully endured its own “Demon Hypnosis.”
Its mind spun, instantly shutting down, falling from the air with a “thud.”
“Sun Eevee, Telekinesis.”
Sun Eevee opened its eyes, and the red gemstone on its forehead emitted red light.
Imp Beast’s body was caught just before hitting the ground.
But it was still in mid-air, now hypnotized and asleep.
“So it really worked? Simply using ‘Telekinesis’ for object manipulation rather than attack.”
Dark nodded slightly and said, “Put Imp Beast temporarily on the bed.”
Sun Eevee intended to use ‘Telekinesis’ to lift it higher, but carelessly lost control, letting it crash harshly to the ground.
But since the owner had commanded, it could only be regretful.
“Mana Reflection and Telekinesis have been tested; next is Future Sight.”
Dark thought for a moment and placed Sun Eevee on the ground.
Reluctantly, Sun Eevee landed on all fours.
Free from the embrace of its owner, the pride that surged in its heart made it lose its previous humility and caution. Its gaze towards Fairy Eevee and Deoxys was filled with disdain and contempt.
In its past fantasies, these two mana spirits were destined to be defeated by it sooner or later.
Especially Fairy Eevee, its biggest imagined rival!
Deoxys on the cat tower let out a faint sneer, clearly sensing Sun Eevee’s thoughts, but it crossed its arms, unbothered by the threat.
Fairy Eevee remained calm, only its ribbon tentacles curling and uncurling.
“Miao yo.”
(I’ll settle with you tonight!)
“Hehe!”
Sun Eevee’s ears perked up, and the red gemstone on its forehead glowed.
But Dark pressed his hand on its head, dimming the light.
While greedily enjoying the soft feel, Dark scanned the mana spirits, finally settling on Wrestler Eagle.
“Wrestler Eagle, come over.”
“Ah choo!”
Wrestler Eagle immediately spread its wings, showing off its muscles.
But Dark said, “Can you try shooting each feather of ‘Feather Dance’ individually?”
Wrestler Eagle: “Huh?”
…
The power of “Future Sight” was too great, so Dark naturally wouldn’t test it indoors.
What he truly wanted to test was Sun Eevee’s “prognostication” ability.
According to memory, Sun Eevee could predict an opponent’s actions by sensing air currents through its short, fine fur.
But such a sophisticated operation was certainly not something all Sun Eevees could achieve.
However, Sun Eevee with “Future Sight” theoretically shouldn’t have problems.
He explained his idea and then got up, clearing the space for Wrestler Eagle and Sun Eevee to fully demonstrate.
The two mana spirits stood on either side.
Sun Eevee held its head high, exuding an elegant and noble aura, its forked tail swaying gently in the air, its fur spreading out to sense the airflow.
Wrestler Eagle focused intently, even though this was just an experimental match, it would still give it everything!
“Hacha!”
With a light shout, Wrestler Eagle flapped its wings, several feathers quickly converging, and then one was abruptly shot out under its control.
The rest of the feathers fell.
Clearly, the control was not precise enough.
But it had done its best.
Sun Eevee subconsciously tried to use ‘Telekinesis’ to block the feather, but the red gemstone on its forehead flashed and faded, reminding it of its owner’s words.
Then it slightly tilted its head to the left, and the feather passed by its slender neck, landing on the ground due to reduced momentum.
Before it could revel in its success.
“Hacha hacha!”
Wrestler Eagle simultaneously shot out two feathers!
“Feather Dance” had a cooldown; it needed continuous attacks to maintain.
Sun Eevee lightly flicked its tail, taking a small jump, effortlessly dodging the two consecutive feather shots.
Then Wrestler Eagle gradually increased the number and speed of the feathers.
But Sun Eevee always managed to dodge before being hit.
It was as if it could truly foresee the future!
