Chapter 664 “Request for Subscription” Dark Demon’s Grim Reaper and Dragon (10k)
Dark had long lost count of when he last conjured a Mana Spirit without using a “Capital Sin Fruit” as an auxiliary material.
After preparing all the materials, he felt somewhat excited.
The rise of gacha-style spending models like card draws and box openings wasn’t without reason.
A gambling mentality was almost universal among people.
Reflecting on it, he had also conjured a Mana Spirit like “Huhu” using the most basic Conjure Method.
Of course, most were “Trash Slimes,” “Wrestler Eagles,” or “Piplups.”
Compared to Mana Spirits conjured with “Capital Sin Fruits,” they were indeed not as powerful.
The reasons were as follows: First, “Capital Sin Fruits” contained complete biological factors, making the conjured Mana Spirits more realistic in terms of “truthfulness.”
Second, “Capital Sin Fruits” fortified seven points of “Capital Sin” power through life breeding, bringing it close to ten points of “Capital Sin” strength.
Adding “Capital Sin Fruits” to the conjuring process was akin to adding ten points of “Capital Sin” for conjuring.
However, the “Wrestler Eagle” was not conjured using “Capital Sin,” and the “Piplup” was only conjured using two stems of “Bliss.”
The final result was evident.
Even if later on, they gained stronger powers through “Capital Sin Cards” and evolution, the initial fragility of “Piplup” could not be ignored.
Yet, this “Soul Pearl” derived from the “Dark Mummy,” although of relatively lower quality, was still a drop from a Seven-Star Ghost, containing pure and dense ghostly energy.
Therefore, Dark still held hope for it.
“Even if I can’t conjure a Seven-Star Mana Spirit, having a Five-Star or Six-Star would already be excellent.”
Using “Evolution” alone to boost deck strength was feasible in short-duration Mana Duels.
But in prolonged actual battles, the disadvantage of only 15 minutes of evolution time would become apparent.
Although Dark could ensure high-intensity Mana Spirit Cards in every period through meticulous time management, this meant abandoning the advantage of Magi’s ability to overwhelm opponents.
This situation had already been evident in previous dungeon explorations.
He mainly relied on the “Holy Sword”-holding “Deoxys” and “Lion Beast” to gain some endurance.
Thus, his main goal for future conjurations was to create high-star Mana Spirits.
Even if these high-star Mana Spirits might not be usable in Mana Duels, the improvement in actual combat capabilities was imminent in the current “Gods’ Awakening” era.
Dark sipped the apple juice squeezed from “Huhu” and then focused on the experiment.
…
His long absence from the Basic Conjure Method didn’t hinder his speed.
In just half an hour, Dark had progressed to the final step of Basic Conjure.
Looking at the activated Conjure Array, he first added some ghost-related auxiliary materials and adjusted the environment using recent techniques, making the conjuring direction more ghostly.
Then, he took out the appropriately processed “Soul Pearl” and examined it.
The “Soul Pearl” was shrouded in gray mist, and upon closer inspection, resembled a ghostly face, faintly emitting wails that sent chills down one’s spine.
If placed in the previous era, such items would surely be classified as “cursed objects.”
But to a Magus, the attributes of materials were merely attributes.
Dark took a deep breath and slowly placed the seven-star “Dark Mummy” “Soul Pearl” into the Conjure Array.
As the “Soul Pearl” touched the light array, ripples spread out.
With the other hand, he held the Mana Pen and injected mana into one corner of the Conjure Array, constantly adjusting it to slowly refine the “Soul Pearl.”
The continuously growing mana allowed him to handle high-grade materials with ease.
Finally, Dark hadn’t decided which auxiliary material to add to define and narrow the scope of the conjuration; he ultimately left it to randomness.
The improved material quality allowed the Conjure Array to accommodate more “Capital Sin.”
At the last moment, Dark picked up the Mana Dropper and drew 1 point of “Bliss” from a prepared Thought Bottle, then dripped it into the Conjure Array.
With the sharp cry of the Mana Brain, three points of “Bliss” were dripped into the array.
The glow from the Conjure Array reached its peak.
The entire process went smoothly, consuming the expected three points of “Bliss.”
One, three, ten, thirty—these were the four nodes of cumulative “Capital Sin” effects.
“Capital Sin Fruits” reduced the ten-point node to seven points, and further strengthened it through “Huhu’s” functions, resulting in Mana Spirits with extremely high lower limits.
As the light faded, Dark quietly waited for the internal fusion of the Mana Card to complete.
Simultaneously, he began contemplating the next Basic Conjure method—he planned to directly proceed with another Basic Conjure in the morning!
Minutes passed quickly.
With the expulsion of large amounts of impurities, the melting reaction inside the Mana Card finally stopped.
Dark picked up the mercury knife and skillfully cut open the Light Cocoon surrounding the Mana Card, releasing an unusually thick aura of death.
Dark concentrated, realizing that the “Underworld Fire” in his palm was stirring!
“Is this a Mana Spirit with similar properties?”
He released the “Underworld Fire” and watched the flickering gray flames, his gaze becoming increasingly serious.
Then he clenched his fist and withdrew the “Underworld Fire” back into his palm before rinsing the Mana Card.
Once the stains on the card surface were washed away, a faint golden halo emanated from the edges.
“Four gold cards with Ultimate Skills.”
The anomaly of the “Underworld Fire” had prepared him mentally, so there wasn’t much surprise.
Inside the card was a clearly undead-type Mana Spirit shaped like a coffin!
This coffin was composed of pink and gray-white, with crimson eyes and a small gray-white mask embedded between its brows. Its teeth were like jagged saws.
Four hands extending from the cracked coffin could stretch and twist like shadows, colored in a dark blue hue.
This was undoubtedly a shining “Reaper’s Casket”!
“Reaper’s Casket,” as the final evolved form of “Cry-Cry Mask,” was a coffin-type Pokémon with “Mummy” characteristics.
In the original setting, “Reaper’s Casket” could swallow humans or Pokémon approaching it, turning them into mummies.
Most of the time, however, it would mistakenly believe itself to be a real coffin and lie quietly in temples, ruins, or graveyards.
“Reaper’s Casket” enjoys eating gold.
Therefore, if one could find a “Reaper’s Casket” in a temple, ruin, or graveyard without being turned into a mummy, there was a high chance of obtaining a whole chest of gold treasure.
…
“The ‘Soul Pearl’ obtained after defeating the ‘Dark Mummy’ was ultimately refined into a coffin capable of making mummies. This is no coincidence!”
Dark commented slightly and then focused on injecting mana to check.
[Card Name: Reaper’s Casket]
[Type: Elemental Card]
[Level: ??????]
[Race: Undead]
[Attribute: Ghost]
[Mana: 2400]
[Attack: 1200]
[Defense: 3000]
[Ultimate Skills: Mummy, Sealing, Iron Wall, Shadow Strike]
“I finally conjured a normal Six-Star Mana Spirit!”
Looking at the Six-Star Mana Spirit Card in his hand, Dark’s worries dissipated.
“The high defense obtained at the cost of attack is sufficient to play a role in the Six-Star environment.”
“2400 mana isn’t low, after all, it wasn’t conjured using ‘Capital Sin Fruits,’ so we can’t ask for too much.”
Dark’s expression shifted as he looked at the ultimate skills.
Good base stats were just the foundation; powerful ultimate skills were the soul of a Mana Spirit.
“Mummy, Sealing, Iron Wall…”
“First is ‘Mummy,’ is this due to the transformation of the ‘Reaper’s Casket’s’ properties?”
Thinking this, Dark injected mana to examine further.
[Mummy: After grabbing the target, it briefly turns them into a mummy, changing their race to Undead and attribute to Ghost, greatly reducing movement speed, losing original traits, and unable to use non-Ghost ultimate skills.]
“This… passive to active? Can this ‘Reaper’s Casket’ truly turn people into mummies!”
Dark’s heart stirred.
He originally thought this coffin would match well with the “Vampire Noble”—how could a vampire not have their own coffin?
But he never expected this “Reaper’s Casket” could actually turn people into mummies.
However, as an ultimate skill, “Mummy” should be a single-target strong control similar to “Turn into Pig” or “Turn into Sheep.”
The information on “Mummy” was quite detailed, with a duration of about 30 seconds, but varying based on the target’s strength.
Specific effects could only be determined through testing.
The major drawback was needing to grab the target to trigger it, requiring surprise.
And “Reaper’s Casket” was extremely slow, moving only slightly faster than “Huhu.”
“In any case, let’s look at the next ultimate skill—’Sealing’!”
Dark focused intently.
He had an instinctive feeling that this “Sealing” might be a crucial ultimate skill.
[Sealing: The Reaper’s Casket traps the target inside its coffin, thoroughly sealing them. Unless the target’s mana or attack (or skill power) exceeds the Reaper’s Casket’s defense, they cannot escape. The trapped target’s soul is gradually digested and converted into the Reaper’s Casket’s mana.]
“It’s indeed completely different from the original…”
Dark pondered deeply.
In the Pokémon world, “Sealing” was a psychic-type ultimate skill that sealed the opponent’s identical moves.
But this “Reaper’s Casket’s” “Sealing” was a ghost-type ultimate skill!
The Reaper’s Casket seals the target inside its body, devouring their soul and converting it into its own mana.
Moreover, with a defense of 3000 points, it is extremely difficult to break through against Mana Spirits of the first and second tiers.
“Hold on, is the mana converted by ‘Sealing’ like a mana reserve from ‘Fear Gem’ or ‘Moon Goddess Mirror,’ or is it the Reaper’s Casket’s own mana… limit?”
Dark suddenly thought of this question, his eyes flashing.
“Theoretically, Mana Cards cannot grow, but since there is already the precedent of ‘Moon Goddess Soul,’ it might not be impossible.”
“Not rushing…”
He eagerly looked at the next ultimate skill—”Iron Wall”!
“Iron Wall” is a very conventional ultimate skill, differing from “Round Up” and “Hardening” in that it enhances base defense.
“Round and hard” doubled!
[Iron Wall: Transform the skin to be as hard as iron, thereby greatly increasing one’s defense! The increase is based on one hundred percent of the base defense.]
Due to “Plenty Honey Dragon” also having the same ultimate skill, Dark recalled it at a glance.
The basic defense of the “Reaper’s Casket” was as high as 3000 points; increasing by one hundred percent meant it reached 6000 points, which was basically unbreakable by ordinary attacks.
However, the duration of “Iron Wall” was only sixty seconds, barely enough to last through two rounds.
But the “Reaper’s Casket” did not possess strong offensive capabilities; relying solely on defense was insufficient… Hmm?
Dark suddenly recalled the effect of “Sealing,” and instantly understood.
“So it turns out that ‘Sealing’ and ‘Iron Wall’ are a combination technique with联动 effects.”
“Leaving aside the additional soul consumption effect of ‘Sealing,’ just sealing the target in the coffin
If ‘Iron Wall’ is activated simultaneously, the threshold for breaking free will go from 3000 to 6000, allowing the target to be sealed for a full sixty seconds!”
“Thinking this way, those sixty seconds suddenly seem very long!”
“And finally, the last ultimate skill — ‘Soul Stealth Assault!'”
‘Soul Stealth Assault’ was an extremely powerful ghost-type ultimate skill.
[Soul Stealth Assault: When the ‘Reaper’s Casket’ initiates ‘Soul Stealth Assault,’ it can enter an alternate space and enter a shadow stealth state.
Under normal circumstances, any attack from the opponent cannot affect the ‘Reaper’s Casket’ when it is in shadow stealth mode (the ‘Reaper’s Casket’ cannot enter shadow stealth mode while carrying a sealed object).
After a maximum of thirty seconds, the ‘Reaper’s Casket’ will emerge from the alternate space to launch a fatal surprise attack on the target. Even if the target is under protection, it can still hit them.]
Considering the ‘Reaper’s Casket’s’ extremely low base attack power, the effectiveness of ‘Soul Stealth Assault’ might not be ideal.
But its ultimate skill effect has great potential for development.
A maximum of thirty seconds in shadow stealth mode, ignoring protection, allows the ‘Reaper’s Casket’ to easily appear behind the target.
The only thing limiting it from sealing the target inside would likely be the size of the coffin!
“Let’s see how big it is!”
Upon reaching this conclusion, Dark summoned the ‘Trash Slime’ beside him, then activated ‘Gluttony III,’ using the splitting body of ‘Greed Slime II’ and itself as sacrifices to summon the ‘Reaper’s Casket.’
With the end of the sacrificial summoning spell, the pink coffin emerged from the summoning circle.
“Pity, although ‘Reaper’s Casket’ also contains the word ‘god’ in its name, the ‘coffin’ is the main part.”
Dark looked at the newly manifested ‘Reaper’s Casket’ and couldn’t help but examine it.
The height of this ‘Reaper’s Casket’ was much larger than he had anticipated.
The standard height of a ‘Reaper’s Casket’ was one meter seventy, but the one he created stood at a towering two meters fifty, standing there like a giant door!
“Is this a variant with the Flash mutation?”
In a tactical system centered around ‘Sealing,’ the larger the ‘Reaper’s Casket,’ the better.
Dark was pleasantly surprised and couldn’t help but touch the outer skin of the ‘Reaper’s Casket,’ feeling its icy texture.
Then a chill suddenly permeated his fingertips.
The ‘Underworld Fire’ in his hand suddenly flared up.
…
A moment later, holding the ‘Underworld Fire,’ Dark carefully sensed the aura of the ‘Reaper’s Casket,’ discovering that the energy signatures were highly similar.
He rubbed his chin and immediately drew a ‘Bliss III,’ preparing to first awaken the ‘Reaper’s Casket’s’ intelligence before figuring out how to proceed.
“In the name of Dark Demon, Mana Summoning — ‘Bliss III’!”
The pink-glowing ‘Reaper’s Casket’ with flashes of light strangely harmonized with ‘Bliss.’
Dark thought that since the ‘Reaper’s Casket’ wasn’t human-shaped, he didn’t need to worry about it becoming difficult to handle under the influence of ‘Bliss III.’
But then he saw the ‘Reaper’s Casket’s’ eyes filled with joy.
“Not good!”
Dark felt uneasy.
Before he knew it, four deep blue shadow hands grabbed him and forcefully stuffed him into the ‘Reaper’s Casket.’
“Bang!” The lid closed, and Dark saw nothing but darkness.
But he didn’t sense any danger, and with a casual push, he opened the lid.
As the light shone inside, he saw the interior of the ‘Reaper’s Casket.’
It wasn’t pale and eerie as expected, but rather a soft pink like that of a girl.
Stepping out of the coffin, Dark stood in front of the ‘Reaper’s Casket’ again and waved the ‘Underworld Fire’ in his hand, asking, “How is it?”
“Death!” The ‘Reaper’s Casket’ let out a cute cry, then abruptly stretched out a dark shadow hand to grab the ‘Underworld Fire’ in its palm and pushed it back into the coffin, its eyes forming crescents.
Dark pondered, “Does it really like it?”
“Dais!” The ‘Reaper’s Casket’ responded excitedly.
Then it seemed to realize it was allowed, and a faint black glow appeared on its surface.
Dark could clearly feel that the aura of the ‘Underworld Fire’ was gradually weakening, though slowly. This indicated that the rate at which the ‘Reaper’s Casket’ consumed the ‘Underworld Fire’ was not fast.
He picked up the Mana Card and indeed noticed the ‘Reaper’s Casket’s’ Mana limit increasing gradually.
However, the increase was minimal, roughly one point every few minutes—about ten points per hour. And this was because it was absorbing the ‘Underworld Fire’!
“Surely it’s not that simple?”
Dark estimated, “At this rate, it would take about a hundred hours to increase the Mana limit by a thousand points. I wonder if this ‘Underworld Fire’ is enough? Would the effect diminish after absorbing too much?”
Fifteen minutes later, the ‘Reaper’s Casket’ returned to normal but remained attached to Dark.
Wherever Dark went, it followed, like a huge pink coffin always on his back!
If it hadn’t already contained a sealed object, it might have tried to stuff him inside, turning itself into a bed for Dark.
Dark actually enjoyed the clingy nature of the Mana Spirits.
He introduced the ‘Reaper’s Casket’ to the Mana Spirits in the dormitory, finding that Little Dream Spirit and Solo Sword Sheath quickly became friends with it, integrating it into their family.
Afterward, Dark quickly tidied up the remnants of the experiment and then went to wash, cultivate, and sleep.
…
On Friday morning.
Dark awakened the ‘Mana Book’ and ordered it to summon several Mana Spirits not recorded in ‘Paradise,’ then settled into a regular daily routine.
By eight o’clock, he put down his book, preparing to start a second experiment.
Before the experiment, he first summoned the ‘Reaper’s Casket.’
The moment the ‘Reaper’s Casket’ was summoned, it immediately held onto the ‘Underworld Fire.’
The ‘Underworld Fire’ that had been heavily consumed overnight already showed signs of instinctive evasion.
But since it had no true consciousness, it couldn’t escape the clutches of the ‘Reaper’s Casket.’
The ‘Reaper’s Casket’ sipped the ‘Underworld Fire’ like a lollipop, exuding an aura of pleasure.
Working sixteen hours a day, its Mana limit could increase by around 160 points in a day.
However, Dark could clearly sense the gradual weakening of the ‘Underworld Fire.’
This suggested that the method of absorbing the ‘Underworld Fire’ to boost Mana limits caused significant damage to it.
“Perhaps it won’t last a day?”
Dark frowned, measuring it out, and instructed, “Remember to save some embers.”
“Dais!” The ‘Reaper’s Casket’ bent deeply and nodded, its four shadow hands embracing him again.
Dark hurriedly stopped it.
The loss of ‘Underworld Fire’ was irreparable.
Dark kept the embers to maintain his status as the holder of the ‘Underworld Fire’ to observe and perceive it.
After the duel in the afternoon, he would immediately head to Traveler’s Street, where Eve would communicate with Duke’s Mansion via ‘Spirit Synergy,’ informing Claire and Alvaraite of the disappearance.
By now, he was almost certain that the ‘Reaper’s Casket’ could completely eliminate the ‘Underworld Fire’!
Furthermore, to continuously increase the ‘Reaper’s Casket’s’ Mana limit, a constant supply of ‘Underworld Fire’ as sustenance was needed.
Assuming one ‘Underworld Fire’ could provide 100 Mana points, absorbing over a hundred would increase the Mana limit by a whole ten thousand points!
A six-star Mana Spirit with a Mana limit of ten thousand points—how scared would you be?
In addition, he wanted to conduct a ‘separation experiment’ to observe if the ‘Reaper’s Casket’ could use the ‘Sealing’ method to separate the ‘Underworld Fire’ from a human body?
If it could only separate the ‘Underworld Fire’ and leave the power it granted behind, then the experiment would be a complete success!
Dark repeatedly pondered this plan, increasingly convinced of its feasibility.
He urgently needed the Duke’s Mansion to send someone to assist with the experiment.
If successful, it would completely eradicate the隐患 of the ‘Underworld Fire.’
This was of great significance.
…
At half past eight, after making other preparations, Dark injected seven points of ‘Bliss’ into the ‘Worm Branch,’ picked up the ‘Fox-eared Grass,’
but noticed the large amount of dragon-related materials he had acquired from Senior Pandora during a transaction, and suddenly had an idea, putting the ‘Fox-eared Grass’ back.
“Chirp?” The ‘Fox-eared Grass’ nuzzled affectionately against his leg.
Dark squatted down, hugged it, and muttered, “Perhaps adding precious dragon-related materials could further increase the probability of obtaining a higher-star Mana Spirit?”
The quality of the ‘Soul Pearl’ obtained from killing the ‘Ghost King’ was extremely high, rare and valuable.
Since obtaining the ‘Soul Pearl,’ Dark had planned to use it as the core to create a third-tier Mana Spirit.
Among his Mana Spirits, only the ‘Vampire Noble’ was a third-tier Mana Spirit.
However, the ‘Vampire Noble’ was not a typical creation.
He wanted to achieve a breakthrough, to create the first third-tier Mana Card on his own.
The ‘Soul Pearl’ in his hand was the key.
But even the ‘Baby Blue-Eye Dragon’ created using a ‘White Dragon Pearl’ and high-quality ‘Dragon’s Inverted Scale’ was merely a six-star, slightly below the third tier.
Could a single ‘Soul Pearl’ truly create a third-tier Mana Spirit?
Dark reorganized his thoughts and walked to the shelf filled with dragon-related materials.
Compared to the ‘Soul Pearl,’ he actually had a higher-grade ‘Ghost Snake Magic Crystal,’ but that crystal was too specialized, seemingly designed as the core material for creating a ‘Ghost Snake.’
The ‘Soul Pearl’ dropped by the ‘Ghost King’ was purer and more suitable as a material.
“If I don’t use this
The “Soul Pearl” as the core material, could it be demoted to a secondary core instead?
Dark couldn’t help but ponder.
When he was crafting the “Solo Sword Sheath,” he had already researched the method of demoting secondary cores.
Of course, if the material for the main core was significantly higher in grade than the “Soul Pearl,” then the “Soul Pearl” wouldn’t need to be demoted; it would automatically become a secondary core.
“What if I use the ‘Soul Pearl’ as a secondary material, change the main core to a dark attribute material most compatible with spirits and ghosts—the ‘Black Dragon Fang’? How about that?”
The “Black Dragon Fang” has both dark and dragon attributes.
Moreover, there were two of them!
Among the materials obtained through trading with Pandora, there were also nine “Black Dragon Scales” as additional items.
“If I use the ‘Black Dragon Fang’ as the core material, the ‘Soul Pearl’ as the secondary core, the ‘Black Dragon Scales’ as auxiliary materials, and further enhance it with the ‘Bliss Fruit (Dragon)’…”
“If even this cannot craft a third-tier Mana Spirit, then I can only say that it’s finally time to pay up!”
Dark made an immediate decision and then had the “Imp Beast” evolve into a “Demon Beast.” Using “Instant Teleportation,” he brought back the “Dragon Grass” from the clubroom.
Dark dried the residual liquid on the Dragon Grass with a towel and then carried it to the Worm Tree to feed it “Bliss.”
“The targets that can be seen include Pokémon’s ‘Dulong’ family, the legendary ‘Ghost Dragon’ Giratina, the ‘Punishment God Tyrant Dragon’ from Yu-Gi-Oh!, and the ‘Zombie Tyrannomon’ from Digimon.”
“Giratina seems unlikely, but the others have a chance.”
Dark took a deep breath, watching the Dragon Grass sprout buds, form flower buds, and eventually bloom and bear fruit. He carefully plucked the fruit, handed it to Huhu for fresh juice extraction, and then cut the roots of the “Bliss Fruit” to prepare for future use as an auxiliary ingredient.
Once Huhu turned the “Bliss Fruit” into “Bliss Juice,” he bottled it and began his experiment.
“The Conjure Method is ‘Dragon Type – Ghost Type.'”
“The core material is the ‘Black Dragon Fang.'”
“The secondary core is the ‘Soul Pearl.'”
“The auxiliary materials are ‘Bliss Juice’ and ‘Black Dragon Scales’…”
“The base material is the ‘Soul Residue’ of the Sucking Spirit.”
The “Soul Residue” is a superior material for life essence, better than Elemental Honey Dew and Brain Leaf Essence Water.
To ensure this conjuring was successful, Dark nearly exhausted all his resources.
There is no need to describe the entire experimental process.
After activating the first Conjure Array, he sequentially placed three “Black Dragon Scales” and other auxiliary materials, followed by the secondary core “Soul Pearl” and the main core “Black Dragon Fang.” Finally, he gradually dripped in “Bliss Juice (Dragon).”
Throughout the entire conjuring process, he deliberately slowed down, striving for perfection, and meticulously avoiding any mistakes. It took him a full hour to complete all the steps.
Seeing the first Conjure Array instantly glow to its peak after he poured in all the “Bliss Juice (Dragon),” then rapidly contract to fit onto the Mana Spirit Card, starting its final self-melting, Dark felt a sense of relief, fatigue overwhelmed him, and his mana drained completely.
He accepted the “Eevee”递给的“苹果汁” and drank it in one go, finally feeling refreshed.
“This ‘Black Dragon Fang’ is surprisingly difficult to craft…”
Crafting a third-tier Mana Spirit requires thorough preparation.
This time, he forgot to prepare a mana recovery item due to being too hasty.
If his mana hadn’t increased rapidly enough, he might have run out of mana during the process of refining the “Black Dragon Fang,” leading to the experiment failing.
“Luckily, luckily.”
Only after this breath stabilized did Dark focus his attention on observing the Mana Spirit Card reacting on the experimental table.
He had already done his best in selecting materials and conducting the experiment. If this failed, he would have to accept it.
Therefore, he looked relatively relaxed now.
The Mana Spirit Card reacted very slowly.
Time passed slowly.
It wasn’t until about ten minutes later that the internal reaction finally stopped.
During this period, Dark had already cleaned up the impurities expelled by the Mana Spirit Card multiple times.
But despite this, the experiment table was still covered with thick black jelly-like substances.
“At this moment, don’t rush.”
Dark first cleared all the garbage off the table, then picked up the Mana Spirit Card covered in dirt, and washed it under the faucet.
If possible, he would have wanted to bathe and change clothes, pray with both hands, and do everything properly before opening the card.
Unfortunately, there were too many Mana Spirits watching in the dormitory, and he couldn’t bring himself to do that.
In short, he tried to remain calm and thoroughly remove and rinse the surface stains on the Mana Spirit Card. Finally, he obtained this brand new Mana Spirit Card!
First, check the star rating!
“One, two, three, four, five… six, seven! Seven stars, great!”
Only now did Dark finally relax, feeling indescribable excitement.
Although according to his expectations, if these materials were used for Directed Formulation, even an eight-star Mana Spirit Card could be crafted.
But seven stars were better than six stars, after all, they were part of the third tier.
As the first breakthrough from zero, he couldn’t ask for more!
【Greed +1 (Failed)】
Dark raised his hand and looked at the entire card face.
“The level is seven stars, the race is Dragon Type, the attribute is Dragon Type + Ghost Type, and the card name is… Draconic Ballet!”
“Draconic Ballet” is the final evolution form of the “Dulong” family.
“Draconic Arrow” – “Dulongchi” – [Draconic Ballet]
…
Since “Dulong” is a newer Pokémon, Dark’s understanding of the “Dulong” family was limited to pictures.
The design of the “Dulong” family stands out among increasingly bizarre Pokémon.
He had a good impression of “Draconic Ballet,” and seeing that he had actually managed to craft it, he felt delighted.
The “Dulong” family is generally designed based on the concept of “arrow,” and “Draconic Ballet” is no exception.
Its head presents a flat triangular shape with four holes like launch ports extending outward from the horns.
Inside each hole, two “Draconic Arrows” reside!
Being an “invisible Pokémon,” “Draconic Ballet” possesses inherent invisibility.
Its tail gradually becomes transparent, floating like a ghost in the air.
Dark carefully observed the card surface and suddenly realized something, immediately injecting mana to check.
Moments later, the joy on his face grew stronger.
“Indeed, this is a ‘Legion’ type Mana Spirit Card!”
The so-called “Legion” type Mana Spirit Card refers to cards containing multiple Mana Spirits within a single Mana Spirit Card.
Such Mana Spirit Cards are usually very rare.
Dark vividly remembered “Fairy Chorus” from Senior Sister Angelia, “Bear Den” from Diana, and the prize “Nine Little Pigs” that Joseph Bruno received when he won the Easter Duel Festival.
Of course, that Mana Spirit Card probably shouldn’t be called “Nine Little Pigs”…
Currently, Joseph Bruno is serving as a first-year astronomy professor, passing by the Magical Animal Club every Wednesday.
The “Draconic Ballet” Mana Spirit Card in Dark’s hand consists of one “Draconic Ballet” and two “Draconic Arrows.”
According to the设定, after the battle begins, Draconic Ballet will use sonic speed to launch the Draconic Arrows residing in its horn holes—this ultimate skill is called “Dragon Arrow,” exclusive to Draconic Ballet!
Furthermore, those two Draconic Arrows are undoubtedly independent entities with their own personalities.
Therefore, after confirming it as a “Legion” type Mana Spirit Card, a thought naturally arose in Dark’s mind—could the two “Draconic Arrows” evolve using a “Capital Sin Card”?
Once this thought emerged, it couldn’t be stopped.
He held high hopes and eagerly injected mana to check the specific data of the “Draconic Arrow” Mana Spirit Card.
[Card Name: Draconic Ballet]
[Type: Elemental Card]
[Level: ????]
[Race: Dragon Type]
[Attribute: Dragon Type/Ghost Type]
[Mana: 3000]
[Attack: 3800]
[Defense: 2700]
[Ultimate Skills: Dragon Arrow, Penetration, Dragon Dance, Meteor Shower]
“Draconic Ballet” is a very standard aggressive Mana Spirit.
Its attack exceeds the top value of seven-star Mana Spirits by three hundred points, making it stand out among them.
Moreover, “Draconic Ballet” has a hidden attribute—it is extremely fast!
With high attack and speed, coupled with invisibility, it is a natural assassin.
And its ultimate skills further enhance its offensive capabilities.
Dark first looked at “Draconic Ballet’s” exclusive ultimate skill—”Dragon Arrow!”
[Dragon Arrow: Inside the launch ports of Draconic Ballet’s horns, two Draconic Arrows reside. Draconic Ballet can launch these arrows individually or simultaneously. The power of the Dragon Arrow depends on the combined attack power of both. Draconic Ballet can only continue launching Dragon Arrows after the Draconic Arrows return to the launch ports.]
This ultimate skill is the absolute core of “Draconic Ballet.”
Along with the information about “Dragon Arrow” flowing into his brain, came the data on “Draconic Arrow.”
[Card Name: Draconic Arrow]
[Type: Elemental Card]
[Level: ??]
[Race: Dragon Type]
[Attribute: Dragon Type/Ghost Type]
[Mana: 800]
[Attack: 1000]
[Defense: 500]
[Ultimate Skills: Penetration, Lightning Flash, Hold On]
Even as the “arrows,” Draconic Arrows are orange cards with three ultimate skills, though these skills are quite subtle.
“High attack, low defense, but in the realm of two-star Mana Spirits, it’s still decent.”
“When added to Draconic Ballet’s attack, it totals 4800 points.”
“If it can evolve… and if it can be used as a sacrifice, it would be very good.”
“The first ultimate skill is ‘Penetration,’ which both Draconic Ballet and Draconic Arrow share.”
[Penetration: Can penetrate barriers, shields, and substitutes to directly attack the target.]
“So it turns out that both Draconic Ballet and Draconic Arrow possess the Penetration ability, perhaps even protections, armor, and shields can be penetrated!”
“This ultimate skill maximizes the power of ‘Dragon Arrow.'”
“Speaking of ‘Dragon Arrow,’ given its nature, could range-based attack boosts make it doubly effective?”
Dark quickly pondered, looking at Draconic Arrow’s second ultimate skill—”Lightning Flash!”
[Lightning Flash: Significantly increases speed and charges toward the target like lightning.]
…

[Only two days left! Please brothers, cast your moon tickets and votes, or the system will devour them!]
