Chapter 861: Dark Demon and the Gate of Chaos
Apart from the [Chaos Angel], there were three ultimate skills possessed by the [Mosutiv].
The second ultimate skill was the [Holy Hope]!
[Holy Hope: Mosutiv’s right hand can transform into a sacred bow, shooting arrows of hope to eliminate evil! The damage dealt by [Holy Hope] increases by 100% against demons, 50% against dark attributes, and 20% against evil attributes. Mosutiv can control the sacred bow to shoot ordinary light arrows, consuming 50 mana points, with an additional attack boost of 500 points, and no cooldown.]
[Holy Hope] is a light attribute ultimate skill, almost completely inheriting the structure of [Celestial Beast]’s [Sacred Arrow]. However, the ability to condense arrows and use them for normal attacks is very practical. Moreover, these ordinary arrows have additional attack bonuses, and their mana consumption is half that of [Destruction’s White Light], making it incredibly cost-effective.
On the other hand, the third ultimate skill, [Dark Despair], is a dark attribute ultimate skill.
[Dark Despair: Mosutiv’s left hand can transform into a claw of darkness, enveloping the opponent in despair and penetrating their defenses, causing them to feel despair! Attack +1000.]
Although there is no additional attribute克制 enhancement, this [Dark Despair] has the characteristic of ignoring defenses, similar to the [Wishful Divine Sword].
Additionally, apart from being used as an ultimate skill, it can also be used as a weapon, adding 1000 attack points to regular attacks.
[Holy Hope] and [Dark Despair], these two ultimate skills, one light and one dark, one far and one near, complement each other perfectly.
The last ultimate skill of [Mosutiv] is a fusion of light and darkness, capable of transcending time and space!
[Chaos Decadence: Mosutiv fuses the darkness in its left hand with the light in its right hand, creating a gate that transcends time and space, sending enemies to the other side of the metaverse.]
This is a skill akin to the [Heavenly Gate] of the [Seraphic Beast].
Dark felt a stir in his heart and recalled the [Twin Burst Baby Blue-Eye Dragon]’s [Double Dimensional Burst Slash]!
Both [Chaos Decadence] and [Double Dimensional Burst Slash] can banish enemies to the metaverse.
However, [Chaos Decadence] has no restrictions and is not limited to single-target attacks like [Double Dimensional Burst Slash], which can draw multiple enemies into the gate.
Judging from the sequence, [Chaos Decadence] should rank higher than [Double Dimensional Burst Slash].
However, being sent to the metaverse does not necessarily mean death.
If enemies can survive the storm in the metaverse, they could continue to exist there.
Currently, Dark cannot explore what lies beyond the metaverse.
Moreover, if the enemy is a [Mana Spirit], the same destruction would occur as with [Double Dimensional Burst Slash].
[Double Dimensional Burst Slash] can cause more than a third of the durability of a [Mana Spirit Card] to be lost.
[Chaos Decadence]… theoretically, it shouldn’t be higher.
It depends on the content of the essential substance contained within the summoned [Mana Spirit].
Under normal circumstances, that essential substance makes up about one-third of the total content.
Therefore, the complete disappearance of the summoned [Mana Spirit] will only result in a loss of one-third of the [Mana Spirit Card].
…
Dark held the [Fusion Sacred Tome lv4], pondered for a long time, then looked up and said, “Mosutiv, summon the gate to the metaverse, try to make it smaller. Can you do it?”
“Yes,” [Mosutiv] replied calmly, with a voice as pleasant as celestial music.
Dark was slightly taken aback but quickly regained his composure.
Then he picked out a mana spirit card used in a previous experiment from his deck, waiting for [Mosutiv]’s ultimate skill to be released.
The gazes of all the mana spirits gathered around, filled with curiosity.
[Mosutiv] stood at the center of everyone’s attention, gathering light energy in its right hand and darkness in its left. Then, it brought both hands together, blending light and darkness into chaos.
It then pulled its hands apart, creating a door from the chaos.
The door was less than half a meter wide.
The chaotic power was tightly sealed inside, with no trace leaking out.
Dark was amazed by [Mosutiv]’s mastery over light and darkness.
But this was undoubtedly good news.
He summoned the mana spirit and sent it through the gate.
Once the non-sentient mana spirit was drawn into the metaverse and disappeared completely.
Dark’s mana spirit card shattered instantly!
All the mana drained away.
“Complete destruction!”
Dark couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
When the mana spirit disappeared in the metaverse, he clearly felt the remaining part of the mana spirit card vanish along with it!
Two-thirds of the mana spirit card’s original contents had been sent to the metaverse!
[Chaos Decadence] is an ultimate skill capable of completely destroying a mana spirit card!
…
To further verify, Dark conducted more experiments, but the results were consistent.
No mana spirit card could be summoned again after its mana spirit was sent to the metaverse.
This meant that [Mosutiv]’s [Chaos Decadence] was a complete taboo in mana duels.
However, currently, it was impossible to summon it in a mana duel anyway, so there was no need to worry too much.
In summary, [Mosutiv]’s strength, as seen from the panel data, was still very promising.
If [Mosutiv] received further reinforcement through [Curse Cage: Imp] or [Deoxys], and became a twelve-star mana spirit, its basic stats could improve even further.
Dark tested the duration of [Chaos Decadence], confirmed it could last about three minutes, and began recording data while analyzing [Mosutiv]’s mana properties.
[Mosutiv] evolved through the [Capital Sin Card], becoming the first ultimate form.
Though it took a relatively clever approach, its strength was genuine.
Furthermore, it perfectly fused the powers of [Pride] and [Bliss], making it very worth studying.
Dark quickly gathered a series of experimental tools to analyze and record [Mosutiv]’s mana properties, obtaining many sample data points.
These samples were extremely helpful for the research of [Pride IV].
Overall, he gained a lot.
…
After fifteen minutes, [Mosutiv] returned to its fusion state.
The small demon beast and Deoxys immediately separated, looking at each other with disdain.
From [Bastemon] to [Mosutiv], they had many opportunities to cooperate.
Dark stored the mana spirit cards of [Demon King Alastor] and [Demon King Eldridge] in specially designed sealing boxes, then began thinking about how to change the names of these two mana spirit cards.
The names of mana spirit cards could always be customized.
Even in professional leagues outside the academy, many players would customize their card names to confuse opponents.
Of course, like Saint Maryann Academy, most schools rarely did this because it could lead to confusion in various combinations.
However, there were still some restrictions on customizing mana spirit card names.
Generally, the customized name should reflect at least one feature of the mana spirit card.
For example, renaming [Demon King Eldridge] to [Fairy Tale Animal·Little Kitten] made sense.
As for [Demon King Alastor], it could be renamed…
Dark suddenly had an idea.
“Let it be… [Replica·Alastor]!”
This way, even if someone accidentally discovered it, they could be misled.
After all, the aura of a demon king was unique and conspicuous, making it impossible to hide.
Dark considered for a moment and decided to change the names of these two mana spirit cards in the next few days.
Later, he soaked in the bathtub and opened the system list.
It was March 29th evening, with only two days left until the end of March, and the capital sin index had stabilized, making it a good time for a summary.
“System, display the list.”
[Pride: 92 → 93]
[Envy: 39 → 39]
[Rage: 83 → 84]
[Laziness: 52 → 50]
[Greed: 97 → 101]
[Gluttony: 93 → 92]
[Bliss: 92 → 106]
In March, the increase in the [Capital Sin] index was quite noticeable, almost seeming out of control.
However, both the increase in [Greed] and [Bliss] were choices made by Dark himself.
Through these choices, he gained various benefits.
But at the same time, he had to take them seriously.
Since both [Greed] and [Bliss] exceeded 100, he must reduce them to prevent any unforeseen consequences.
However, extracting [Pride] was also necessary, making it difficult to choose.
“In this case, I won’t be able to accumulate much [Pride] in April…”
Dark squinted at the ceiling, feeling somewhat regretful.
“Compared to [Bliss], no matter how much I draw, it won’t be a loss. Once I reach thirty points, I can refine another [Bliss IV].”
“The problem lies with [Greed].”
“I drew twelve points of [Greed] this month, and the final value still broke 100.”
“Moreover, my current [Greed] reserve is already forty points. If I draw another ten points in April, it will almost fill two sets of thirty points.”
“It seems that developing [Greed IV] is inevitable.”
“I can try using astrology to get guidance.”
…
A night passed, and Saint Maryann Academy welcomed a new week.
At the end of last week, the finalists for the [Golden Cup] had been selected, and announcements were posted on the bulletin board on Monday morning.
Along with the announcement, there was also a notice for the assembly on Wednesday afternoon.
Saint Maryann Academy rarely held school-wide assemblies, but when it did, it usually meant something important was happening.
Various speculations quietly spread throughout the academy.
With Easter approaching, many people speculated whether there would be special events this year.
In general, students always enjoyed imagining and using rumors to alleviate the monotony of their studies.
In such speculation, two days passed quickly.
April 1st, Wednesday, Fool’s Day.
On this day, Dark completed the name modifications of the two [Demon King] cards and arranged a meeting time with Eluria Clarissa, then walked with the students of the Noble Academy toward the Grand Hall on the first floor of the castle.
Dark had long known the agenda for today’s assembly.
Over the past two days, Professor Shylph had summoned many students to determine the exchange students.
Besides Betty and Sarah mentioned during the meal, she also summoned the two siblings from the Demon family from the first-year students, Dolon, Emma, and Justin Wayne from the second-year students, and Vini Scarlet and others from the fourth and fifth-year students.
However, except for Justin Wayne, everyone else clearly refused.
The Demon family was currently in opposition to the Church, although they were not in direct conflict. Both Joie and Jon disliked trouble and definitely wouldn’t go.
While Dolon could have gone, he immediately refused after asking someone and learning they were not going.
As for Emma, she clearly stated she had no time.
She was currently putting all her effort into mastering the [Mana Language] of the fourth year.
Justin Wayne from the second-year Knight Academy expressed willingness; he was very interested in the holy knight system of the Secret Rite Academy of the Saints.
As for the fourth and fifth-year students, some didn’t want to give up on the [Golden Cup], while others simply disliked the Church. Reasons varied widely.
Few people were willing to leave their comfort zones and enter a completely unfamiliar environment.
Even though Professor Shylph offered rewards and compensation, it did not significantly attract the upperclassmen.
Even Betty Murray, designated by Wit, originally did not want to go…
This time, she owed Wit a favor.
As for another candidate, Sarah Swati… although it was unfortunate, Sarah also refused.
But her reason was different.
According to what Dark heard from Professor Shylph, Sarah felt that since the Secret Rite Academy of the Saints also selects the strongest exchange students from lower grades, she just needs to wait. Agreeing to become an exchange student might miss out on other opportunities.
Professor Shylph found this reasonable and did not force her.
Thus, the final selection of exchange students came as a surprise to Dark.
It was neither the iron triangle of Wit, Robert, and Emma, nor the golden trio of Wit, Sarah, and Betty.
Instead, it formed the rusty trio of Wit, Justin, and Betty…
Justin Wayne, though lacking significant background, had excellent talent and academic performance, ranking among the top in the second-year Knight Academy.
After Betty advanced to the fifth year, her overall strength improved significantly.
As for Wit Gold, he was the son of the hero, and this exchange trip was a great opportunity for him to obtain the Holy Sword and enhance his strength.
Perhaps the combination of the three would be stronger than the original iron triangle.
After all, Justin was equivalent to two Roberts, making the gap significant.
So, let’s call them the… Silver Combination!
