Chapter 612: Super Fury Slash (4k)
【Full Moon: Eevee glares at its opponent with anger, causing fear and reducing their desire to attack.】
The information about “Full Moon” did not surprise Dak.
After Eevee rose to two stars through “Wrath II,” it also successfully obtained a new field spell—”Grassy Terrain!”
“Grassy Terrain” was undoubtedly a grass-type field spell.
However, Dak vaguely remembered that it should originally have had a collective healing effect—every target standing on “Grassy Terrain” would receive healing.
This effect was incompatible with “Wrath.”
He pondered for a moment and continued checking.
Apart from “Grassy Terrain” and Full Moon, Eevee’s third ultimate skill also became a skill with a strong “Wrath” characteristic.
“Pride” is “assistance,” “Greed” is “desire,” “Bliss” is “pampering,” and “Wrath”… is “revenge!”
“I remember that the original effect of ‘Revenge’ was… if a companion fell in the previous round, its power would double?”
“If this ultimate skill were in the hands of a high-attack mana golem, it would certainly be a divine technique!”
“Unfortunately, as a magical beast, Eevee only has 700 attack after reaching two stars.”
Dak thought with some regret as he injected more mana into the mana card.
Immediately, deeper information came back.
Suddenly, his brows furrowed.
What first caught his attention was not “Grassy Terrain,” but “Revenge!”
To his surprise, “Revenge” had changed significantly compared to the original version.
【Revenge (Wrath): When companions fall one by one, the desire for revenge will ignite! Each fallen companion boosts Eevee’s power by twofold!】
“The twofold here should be relative to the base power.”
“But even so, this is already extremely exaggerated.”
“This means that for every companion that falls, Eevee gains a comprehensive power boost.”
“In terms of attack, this means +700!”
“Sacrificing one companion for 1400 attack!”
“Sacrificing two companions for 2100 attack!”
“Sacrificing three companions…”
“If they can hold out for seven or eight rounds, or pair up with a series of fast-summon decks, Eevee’s attack can quickly accumulate. Even with just one hit, it could turn the tide.”
“The challenge is how to get it in front of the enemy and determine the upper limit of the power boost, the duration of the rage?”
“This isn’t easy to experiment with…”
“Also, do split bodies count as individual entities?”
Holding Eevee, Dak couldn’t help but think.
If these were all figured out, the potential of “Revenge” would be quite broad.
Eevee’s short legs paired with “Nightmare Space” might produce unexpected results.
Besides accelerating, the Nightmare Demon could instantly swap positions with the target in “Nightmare Space,” allowing Eevee to rush into the battlefield.
If “Revenge” stacked seven or eight times, it would truly be a punch that breaks the sky.
Dak couldn’t help but pick up Eevee and rub its face.
Eevee was already struggling hard, and after being rubbed, it lost control and bit Dak’s arm.
“Awoof!”
…
Dak held Eevee by the neck and continued looking at “Grassy Terrain.”
【Grassy Terrain (Wrath): Turns the ground into a grassy terrain for five turns. The grass becomes aggressive and attacks any mana golem on the ground except those with the “Wrath” factor.
Mana golems entangled by the grass are continuously drained of life (mana). These drained lives are halved and evenly distributed among mana golems with the “Wrath” factor on the grassy terrain. Standing on the grassy terrain boosts the power of grass-type ultimate skills by 30%.】
“Absorbing the opponent’s life and giving it back?”
“Indeed, the domain of ‘Wrath.'”
“But the 30% boost to grass-type ultimate skills is slightly lower than other fields’ 50%.”
“To effectively use this field spell, one needs to research the amount of life absorbed.”
“If it’s similar to ‘Sandstorm,’ absorbing 10-20 true damage per second, it would be terrifying.”
After reading “Grassy Terrain,” Dak couldn’t help but sigh.
If only Eevee were a higher-star mana golem!
But human desires are insatiable; everything cannot be perfect.
Overall, Dak was quite satisfied.
Feeling good, he played around with the angry Eevee for a while before starting to record.
…
“After Eevee, it’s Agumon. Let’s go to the canteen for a meal first.”
After taking a few mana golems to the canteen and returning, the cooldown of “Wrath II” would be almost over.
Dak called Agumon into the office, picked up the little Night Bird following behind, and asked, “How’s your recent studies going?”
“It’s okay.” Agumon poked its fingers and showed a rare bashful demeanor, “I just… I want to fight too!”
Dak was taken aback and slightly frowned, thinking, “It’s not impossible.”
Like the Imp Beast, Agumon is also a familiar, relying on “Spell Cage” to become a combat-capable mana golem.
Since familiars are usually one-star, they are not prohibited from use in duels outside of club challenges.
Of course, due to being only one-star, they are rarely used in normal duels either.
But Dak’s Agumon is different; it’s a two-star mana golem and has formidable combat power!
Dak didn’t bring it along because the magical creatures in the club still needed its care.
“There will be opportunities,” Dak said, stroking its head with a smile.
Let’s skip the Silver Tournament and let the Golden Tournament be Agumon’s debut.
At that time, leaving another mana golem in the club to watch over things would suffice.
The Big Milk Jar is very good at taking care of babies.
Agumon perked up at the response, “Then, let’s start!”
Dak nodded and took out “Spell Cage” and “Wrath II.”
“In the name of Dak Diemon, mana summon—’Spell Cage!'”
He put Agumon into the “Spell Cage” and then summoned it again, using “Wrath II.”
Under the deep red light, an orange “Wrath” emblem appeared on Agumon’s forehead.
It turned out to be like the Imp Beast, naturally able to adapt to all “Capital Sins.”
Moreover, its adaptability was clearly higher.
Just “Capital Sin II” was enough to trigger its transfer evolution.
Despite still being in the growth stage, it evolved into a three-star mana golem.
This time was no exception. Agumon’s form underwent significant changes.
Its body gradually swelled, a ponytail grew at the back of its head, it wore a blue-gray samurai outfit, a long sword hung at its waist, and its eyes became sharp!
“Is this a new subspecies?”
Dak looked at the samurai-styled Agumon with excitement.
The first “Wrath” evolved Agumon had tightly furrowed eyebrows, eyes filled with anger, but its will was resolute and not dominated by “Wrath.”
Dak picked up the mana card and quickly received feedback after injecting mana.
【Card Name: Samurai Agumon】
【Type: Elemental Card】
【Level: ???】
【Race: Dragonkin】
【Attributes: Dragon/Combat】
【Mana: 1100】
【Attack: 1500】
【Defense: 1300】
【Ultimate Skills: Ultra-Speed One-Stroke Slash, Ultra-Slow One-Stroke Slash】
Upon closer inspection, you would notice the “Wrath” emblem on the right chest of Samurai Agumon’s samurai outfit.
In the digital world, it calls itself a “Wandering Super Swordsman,” although this title is self-created, it indeed possesses top-notch swordsmanship!
Just looking at that samurai sword, Dak knew it would apply “Holy Sword” perfectly!
“Ultra-Speed and Ultra-Slow One-Stroke Slash… High speed makes sense, but what’s the effect of low speed?”
Dak curiously checked.
【Ultra-Speed One-Stroke Slash: Swings the blade at ultra-high speed. When attack breaks through defense, it ignores defense and kills.]
【Ultra-Slow One-Stroke Slash: Swings the blade at ultra-low speed. When attack is below the opponent’s attack, it deflects the attack.]
“One attack, one counter!”
The more he tasted it, the more he realized the power of these two ultimate skills.
If these two ultimate skills were utilized properly, Samurai Agumon could even gain the ability to kill enemies above its level.
If equipped with “Holy Sword,” these two ultimate skills would be even stronger!
Of course, “Holy Sword” itself is a groundbreaking existence.
Equipping “Holy Sword” just makes it even more groundbreaking.
Dak’s heart stirred, and he immediately decided to have Samurai Agumon perform.
Samurai Agumon was ready to release its energy, nodding immediately.
It walked to an empty space, placed its right hand on the hilt, and concentrated.
In the next instant, a knife shadow flashed before him, followed by a metallic clang as the blade returned to its sheath.
From Dak’s perspective, he couldn’t even see the shape of the blade.
“All techniques in the world, only speed prevails!”
Dak quickly asked, “Can you slash again?”
Agumon slowly shook its head, saying, “Thirty seconds!”
“Thirty seconds cooldown? Only thirty seconds?” Dak couldn’t help but say, “Try the slow slash.”
Agumon then pulled out the sword again.
This slash was extremely slow, but the aura was even more intense. It stepped forward, like a mountain, slowly drawing the sword horizontally. The air flowed with each movement.
Clearly, it blended the concept of “using a small force to move a large one.”
When the performance ended, Dak asked, “Also thirty seconds?”
Agumon slightly nodded, saying firmly, “Yes.”
The tone carried a sense of suppression, as if a volcano was ready to erupt!
…
The effect of “Wrath II” was very satisfactory.
Afterwards, Dak let the Imp Beast and Ditto familiarize themselves with the taste of “Wrath,” and thus ended the night’s experiments.
His research on the “Moonstone” conjuring method had finally reached a critical juncture.
To be safe, he drew two points of “Bliss” as backup tonight and continued his research.
Before he knew it, it was Wednesday afternoon.
Dak spent the entire afternoon immersed in research and finally broke through the final barrier.
He no longer hesitated, ate something hastily, and began the experiment.
This time, the “Moonstone” conjuring was modeled after the transformation of the “Dark Magic Stone.”
Due to the unique nature of the “Dark Magic Stone,” there were many details in the conjuring method that differed from the norm.
Many of these details were not applicable to “Moonstone.”
With Professor Kazel’s guidance, Dak eliminated some parts and replaced them with more suitable methods.
Finally, he determined the key elements for auxiliary conjuring.
That is, mana and blood!
The “Dark Magic Stone” itself was conjured using the mana and blood of high-level demons as primary materials. To transform it, similar materials were needed for auxiliary conjuring.
Although “Moonstone” is not made of mana and blood, Dak prepared to treat “Moonstone” as raw material and use another method to transform it into a “Prop Card” like the “Dark Magic Stone” during the process.
Therefore, his conjuring this time was more complex and difficult than transforming the “Dark Magic Stone.”
He was mentally prepared for the possibility of failure.
…
Just making the “Softener” took over an hour.
He dripped his own blood and mana into the “Softener,” allowing the “Moonstone” to slowly absorb them during the soaking process.
This was a crucial part of the conjuring.
Dak learned a lot from the creation of the “Dark Magic Stone.”
…
During the gradual softening of the “Moonstone,” he completed the preparation of “Ink” and fine-tuned “Mana Language,” ultimately finding a path to the final solution through repeated failures.
After properly handling the “Moonstone” and other materials, Dak tried to light the “Hamer炼成阵.”
The rising conjuring array shimmered like water, and he began injecting sufficient mana into it, then dripping the pre-treated blood.
The blood was absorbed instantly, leaving no trace on the surface.
Dak picked up the mercury glass rod and gently stirred it until it was uniform, then added the auxiliary ingredients one by one.
After confirming everything was correct, he placed the “blurry” surface of the “Moonstone.”
Then he dripped “Bliss.”
One drop…
Two drops…
Three drops…
Dak stopped there.
But after these three drops of “Bliss,” the conjuring array barely changed, only faintly glowing pink on the surface.
Like the moonlit lake, it remained very calm.
Dak looked at the floating “Moonstone” at the center and fell silent for a moment.
These three drops of “Bliss” seemed completely insufficient.
But if he continued, the next threshold would be seven.
And seven was enough to cultivate a “Capital Sin Fruit.”
If crafting a “Moonstone” required seven “Bliss”… even if the final effect could be comparable to “Bliss III,” it would only save three.
And if these seven “Bliss” were still not enough?
Even with last night’s extraction, he now had only two “Bliss” left.
To make up for seven, he needed to extract two more.
If that wasn’t enough, he’d be in trouble.
So, cut losses early?
Or take the risk?
This was the question.
