Chapter 363: Draw Your Sword!
Despite Dark never having seen the skill “Weaponization” in the Pokémon of Elementals.
In the card game “Yu-Gi-Oh!”, however, there were numerous cards that reflected this concept.
In “Yu-Gi-Oh!”, there was a type of monster called “Allied Monster,” which could transform into an “Equipment Card” and be equipped onto another monster.
The moment Dark saw the name of this ultimate skill, he immediately thought of a similar effect.
He did not pay attention to the other three ultimate skills for now; instead, he injected more mana to further obtain information about the “Weaponization” skill.
[Weaponization: The Solo Sword Sheath can transform into a weapon form, changing the type of the Magic Card.]
“Even the type of the Magic Card can change?”
Dark’s thoughts were always quite broad.
He immediately realized the key point here.
“Does this mean I can directly summon the ‘Solo Sword Sheath’ as an Equipment Card?”
“Ignore its second tier summon restriction, no need for Sacrificial Summon, just summon it as an Equipment Card?”
“That’s too much…”
“But if it really works.”
Dark couldn’t help but swallow his saliva, then couldn’t resist summoning!
Using the regular summoning technique, summoning a four-star “Solo Sword Sheath” required at least over a minute.
But Dark had often used regular summoning techniques to summon “Eevee,” “Deoxys,” and “Big Milk Jar” in the dormitory, so he was already quite proficient.
After more than a minute, the summoning succeeded.
The version of the “Solo Sword Sheath” known as the “Holy Sword” materialized before Dark and the Magic Card Elementals.
It floated in the air, and the single eye at the center of the hilt slowly opened, meeting Dark’s gaze.
Dark didn’t think too much, then immediately used a “Greed II” card to grant it consciousness.
Under the light of pale purple, the emblem of “Greed” appeared on the hilt of the Solo Sword Sheath, with the eye in the center clearly showing a greedy expression.
But Dark just smiled and commanded, “Solo Sword Sheath, use ‘Weaponization.'”
Under the owner’s forced command, the Solo Sword Sheath’s eye instantly closed, and the long ribbon-like tail at the end of the handle quickly retracted into the handle, leaving only a tiny end loop.
It was like the “Holy Sword”!
Dark reached out his hand and grabbed the weaponized “Solo Sword Sheath.”
It felt very light when he held it, indicating that although the Solo Sword Sheath had transformed into a weapon, it still retained its floating characteristic.
Dark swung the sword a few times and then eagerly returned it to the Magic Card.
Then he picked up the Magic Card to check it.
[Card Name: Solo Sword Sheath (Weapon Form)]
[Type: Item Card]
[Effect ①: Grants the user an attack bonus of “Star Level X300.”]
[Effect ②: Adds passive “Sacred.”]
[Effect ③: Adds passive “Holy Sword.”]
[Effect ④: Adds ultimate skill “Chain Slash.”]
[Effect ⑤: Adds ultimate skill “Sword Dance.”]
[Effect ⑥: Adds ultimate skill “Elementalization.”]
“It has truly become an equipment card within the item cards!”
Dark was delighted and immediately tried to summon it using a regular summoning technique.
But suddenly, a massive suction force came from the Magic Card.
Dark furrowed his brows and poured in mana.
After consuming a large amount of mana, the “Solo Sword Sheath (Weapon Form)” was finally summoned.
Dark grabbed it again and injected mana to use the ultimate skill “Elementalization.”
The “Solo Sword Sheath (Weapon Form)” immediately transformed into the “Solo Sword Sheath (Elemental Form).”
“Although the mana consumption is higher, it indeed only takes three seconds to summon a four-star Solo Sword Sheath!”
After confirming this, Dark calmed down and continued to examine the remaining three ultimate skills of the Solo Sword Sheath.
To be honest, these three ultimate skills did not make a good first impression.
Magic Card Elementals received a power boost when using their own elemental ultimate skills.
However, among the four ultimate skills of the Solo Sword Sheath:
“Weaponization” had no attribute.
“Chain Slash” was a bug-type ultimate skill.
“Sword Dance” and “Holy Sword” were both fighting-type ultimate skills.
This meant none of them were steel-type or ghost-type, hence no attribute boost.
This was extremely unfavorable for the combat power enhancement of Magic Card Elementals.
But since things had come to this point, the current situation could only hope that the Solo Sword Sheath might gain elemental ultimate skills after evolving.
Dark carefully examined the details.
[Chain Slash: Continuous slashes. If the first chain slash hits the opponent, the next attack increases by 50% of the base attack, up to a maximum of three consecutive slashes. If interrupted, it resets.]
[Sword Dance: Vigorously perform a battle dance to increase momentum, significantly boosting your attack! The higher the momentum, the greater the coefficient of attack boost. Minimum boost is 50% of the base attack, maximum boost is 100% of the base attack.]
[Holy Sword: The sacred sword, with a 100% increase in克制 against demons based on its original attribute, and a 50% increase against dark attributes. It has an additional lethal effect against demons; attacks ignore changes in the opponent’s abilities, will definitely hit, and have a small chance of ignoring defense directly.]
“The skill effect of the ultimate skill [Holy Sword] fully inherits the passive attributes of that sacred sword. It’s just that it has changed from a passive to an active ultimate skill. Moreover, the power of the ‘Holy Sword’ ultimate skill is still acceptable, but without the attribute boost, it would seem slightly weaker.”
“In comparison, the combination of ‘Chain Slash’ and ‘Sword Dance’ can be considered divine.”
“Starting with ‘Sword Dance,’ increasing momentum to the limit and then bursting with ‘Chain Slash.’ If all three slashes succeed, the attack can be boosted to a maximum of three times!”
“For a ‘Solo Sword Sheath’ with an attack of 2200, once it starts dancing, it becomes unstoppable!”
“The effectiveness of this type of ultimate skill doesn’t matter much whether there is an attribute boost or not.”
“If it could incorporate the effect of ‘Holy Sword,’ combining the three, that would truly be a holy sword.”
“One sword for 6600, teaching you how to be an adult!”
Dark suddenly understood.
Then he made the Solo Sword Sheath weaponize, delving deeper into its effects.
The equipment effects of the “Solo Sword Sheath (Weapon Form)” were many.
Effect ① was obvious.
Effects ② and ③ were also inherent additional attributes of the Holy Sword.
Effects ④ and ⑤ granted the user the two buff skills “Chain Slash” and “Sword Dance.”
But as a weapon, the base attack boost of these two ultimate skills should be (“User’s Base Attack x300%” + Weapon Bonus).
Assuming the wielder was “Deoxys”…
“Deoxys'” “Sacred Ring” was very special; the attribute bonuses it added were also part of “Deoxys'” base attributes.
Therefore, if “Deoxys” wielded the “Solo Sword Sheath” and used “Sword Dance” + “Triple Slash,” the maximum attack could reach (2400×300% + 1200 = 8400)!
“One sword for 8400!”
“Though still not as powerful as the Big Milk Jar, it’s already extremely terrifying.”
“Moreover, as the wielder’s attributes grow stronger, the attack they can achieve will also become stronger.”
“Hiss… Is this the Magic Card Elemental created by the ‘Holy Sword’炼成?”
“Probably even more terrifying than a normal ‘Holy Sword.'”
“Just don’t know if there’s a ‘Hero Restriction’?”
Dark raised the Solo Sword Sheath and shook it, saying, “Who wants to try?”
“Meow.”
Deoxys perked up and immediately raised its paw.
From the moment it saw the Solo Sword Sheath transform from a Magic Card Elemental into a weapon, it realized its “Holy Sword” had returned.
At this moment, needing to test the sword, it naturally had to be done by it.
“Meow!”
Suddenly, another meow came from behind.
The waiting Meow Meow suddenly pounced forward.
But when it reached Dark, it abruptly braked hard, forcing itself beside Deoxys, and obediently raised its paw.
Looking at the white and gray cats, Dark thought for a moment and handed the “Solo Sword Sheath (Weapon Form)” to Meow Meow.
“Meow meow meow!”
Meow Meow grabbed the handle fiercely and laughed wildly.
There was still a precious bead inside the Solo Sword Sheath—it had no shield before evolving, but it still belonged to it.
Glancing at Deoxys beside it, Meow Meow grabbed the scabbard of the Solo Sword Sheath and pulled hard.
“Clang!”
The long sword was drawn!
…
And Dark took out Meow Meow’s Magic Card and carefully examined it.
“Attack power… increased by 900 points!”
“Meow Meow certainly does not have Hero Qualities, does this mean the weapon form of the Solo Sword Sheath no longer has Hero Restrictions?”
Dark pondered for a moment and said, “Meow Meow, try using the ultimate skill.”
Meow Meow raised its head in confusion, “Meow?”
Dark said, “Injecting mana will give you a sense of it, you should have learned it already, right?”
Meow Meow immediately puffed out its chest and injected a bit of mana into the Solo Sword Sheath.
With its innate talent as a “Technical Expert,” it learned such minor skills very quickly.
While playing with the “Shield Tortoise Jade,” it had already mastered the transmission of mana.
This wasn’t actually difficult.
Once the other Magic Card Elementals gained their respective armors, they should also learn it quickly.
…
After Meow Meow injected mana into the Solo Sword Sheath, it indeed received feedback.
Its face showed excitement, and it grabbed the Solo Sword Sheath with both hands, lifting it up and then turning to face the blank space in the dormitory, shouting loudly, “Meow!”
As the meow echoed, its momentum surged, stepping forward with a meow step.
With a slight rotation of its feet, wind blew from beneath, instantly forming a vortex around its body, then suddenly converging onto the blade!
“Meow!”
Meow Meow shouted again, and the Solo Sword Sheath, wrapped in swirling air, slashed twice consecutively!
“Clang! Clang!”
By the second slash, its attack power reached its peak.
It had reached (1500×200% + 3×300 = 3900) points!
But after delivering such a powerful strike, Meow Meow’s little face instantly fell!
…
“It seems to be a cut-down version.”
Dark understood from the Magic Card that Meow Meow’s attack had risen to its peak in that instant.
He pondered for a moment and said, “Meow Meow, give the sword to Deoxys.”
With a reluctant cat face, Meow Meow reluctantly sheathed the sword and threw it to Deoxys.
Deoxys, who had been standing呆呆 in place, suddenly revealed a hint of joy, taking one step forward to stably catch the Solo Sword Sheath.
Then it pulled the sword out, and mana flowed in, causing the half-drawn sword to suddenly glow with sacred white light!
The Mana Spirit flying above Dark’s head, illuminated by the sacred light, immediately screamed and fled to the shadows behind the counter.
When the Solo Sword Sheath was in Deoxys’ hands, its entire aura changed completely.
It seemed only now that it was truly a “Holy Sword”!
Yes…
This Solo Sword Sheath was obviously still a “Holy Sword”!
Only Deoxys, with its Hero Qualities, could fully unleash its power.
After Deoxys drew the sword, it quietly waited for the cooldown of “Chain Slash” and “Sword Dance.”
These two ultimate skills had long cooldowns, likely usable only once in a duel.
…
“Never mind.”
Dark shook his head with some regret.
Regardless, this Magic Card creation was successful.
Originally, only Deoxys could use the “Holy Sword,” but now any Magic Card Elemental with hands could use it.
Though it couldn’t fully utilize the passive attributes of “Sacred” and “Holy Sword,” and “Chain Slash” and “Sword Dance” could only function at their minimum effects, it was still not weak.
And under normal circumstances, the “Solo Sword Sheath” could move on its own.
Because in its Elemental Form, it could naturally use any ultimate skill.
Dark only needed to hold the hilt instead of wielding the sword himself to cosplay as a Hero.
Of course, he had no interest in cosplaying as a Hero.
…
Later…
While recording data, Dark waited for the cooldown of the Solo Sword Sheath’s ultimate skills to finish, then observed Deoxys testing the sword.
Deoxys’ “Sword Dance” was clearly more magnificent than Meow Meow’s, and its burst of momentum was on a completely different level, fully unleashing the limits of “Sword Dance.”
Guided by the Solo Sword Sheath, its “Triple Slash” was very smooth, slashing three times like lightning.
The final slash was astonishing, leaving a terrifying sword mark on the wall!
When Deoxys glanced back, there was a凛然 aura of a sword!
“This…”
Dark couldn’t help but squint his eyes.
On Deoxys, he faintly sensed the taste of Alvaraite.
This made him subconsciously ask, “Deoxys, do you want to learn swordsmanship?”
Deoxys: “Meow?”
…
Teaching Deoxys swordsmanship would have to wait until the holidays.
Dark turned the “Solo Sword Sheath” back into its Elemental Form and continued experimenting.
Although the Solo Sword Sheath was already a second-tier four-star Magic Card Elemental, it was actually still a baby that could evolve twice.
Using “Capital Sin III” might allow it to evolve again.
Dark tried using “Pride III” and “Bliss III” one by one.
The results were unsurprising.
“So it really doesn’t work?”
“It seems refining ‘Greed III’ is inevitable.”
