【Type: Elemental Card】【Level: ★★★】【Race: Dragon】【Attribute: Light Type】【Mana: 1000】【Attack: 1000】【Defense: 1000】
【Ultimate Skills: Stardust Link, Meteor, Wish of Stardust】▲
Unexpected.
The level of the 【Stardust Dragonet】 is竟然有 three stars!
This means that once the 【Stardust Radiance】 is used on it, it can leap across tiers to become a Second-tier Mana Spirit.
This would be somewhat helpful for a sacrificial summon of a Third-tier Mana Spirit.
However, the significance is not great.
Dark continued reading.
The race of the 【Stardust Dragonet】 is Dragon, with attributes different from the 【Stardust Dragon】, being purely of the Light Type.
The stats were all 1000 points.
For a Two-star, having all stats at 1000 is perfect, but for a Three-star, it seems insufficient.
But it’s still just a companion dragonet to the 【Stardust Dragon】, so high expectations shouldn’t be set.
The main focus should be on its ultimate skills, whether they have any unique features? In short, one of the ultimate skills of the 【Stardust Dragonet】 must relate to death immunity.
Dark noticed immediately that the first ultimate skill of the 【Stardust Dragonet】 was 【Stardust Link】!
—
【Stardust Link: As a companion species, the life of the Stardust Dragonet is tightly connected to the Stardust Dragon from birth. If the Stardust Dragon does not die, the Stardust Dragonet cannot be destroyed. After triggering the death immunity mechanism, Stardust Link will temporarily disappear for thirty seconds, re-linking after thirty seconds.】
▲
Although it’s a roundabout way, the basic effect remains a death immunity chance every thirty seconds.
In the card game “Yu-Gi-Oh!”, this would be once per turn without destruction.
This effect differs from the original card by only two words—”Battle.”
However, the meaning is entirely different.
The original 【Stardust Dragonet】 in “Yu-Gi-Oh!” has one death immunity per turn, greatly reducing its versatility.
Dark’s 【Stardust Dragonet】 theoretically can evade any death mechanism.
If applied correctly, it will act like a “satellite,” becoming a shield for the 【Stardust Dragon】.
After checking the next ultimate skill, Dark realized it was far from just that.
The 【Stardust Dragonet】 doesn’t just serve as a mobile shield but also acts as a mobile artillery!
It’s a living “floating cannon”!
—
【Meteor: The Stardust Dragonet can summon meteors to strike a specific target. When the Stardust Dragonet and Stardust Dragon are in Stardust Link state, it can synchronize with the Stardust Dragon to summon meteors using the latter’s power.】
(illustration: Meteor)
Both 【Meteor】 and 【Meteor Impact】 in “Yu-Gi-Oh!” are cards配套 with 【Stardust】 monsters.
However, their effects as ultimate skills are completely different. The 【Meteor】 of the 【Stardust Dragonet】 becomes a single-target skill capable of summoning only one meteor, while when combined with 【Stardust Link】, the summoned meteor’s power is nearly equivalent to that of the 【Stardust Dragon】’s meteor!
This effectively adds a new output channel for the 【Stardust Dragon】 to fully utilize its power.
Moreover, the cooldown for 【Meteor】 isn’t long!
Even after it dies and is re-summoned, it can directly refresh the 【Meteor】 cooldown!
Just the existence of 【Stardust Link】 and 【Meteor】 significantly boosts the presence of the 【Stardust Dragonet】.
The third ultimate skill further enhances this.
—
【Wish of Stardust: The Stardust Dragonet initiates a wish, sacrificing itself to destroy and nullify the opponent’s move effects.】
▲
(Illustration: Wish of Stardust)
【Wish of Stardust】 can destroy and nullify moves not only from the ultimate skills of Mana Spirits but also most magic and rituals.
However, it requires the sacrifice of its own life!
Of course, if 【Wish of Stardust】 is used while 【Stardust Link】 is active, the “death cost” will be covered by the death immunity mechanism of 【Stardust Link】—it won’t truly die.
Moreover, the cooldown for 【Wish of Stardust】 is thirty seconds, perfectly aligning with the punishment mechanism of 【Stardust Link】, allowing for a wish every thirty seconds.
Though it’s unfortunate that the 【Stardust Dragonet】 only has three ultimate skills, these skills are all very useful.
It complements the 【Stardust Dragon】’s incomplete abilities.
More ultimate skills are not suitable for experimentation under these circumstances. The summoning of the 【Stardust Dragon】 already caused significant impact, with many students from the Tower of Noble Academy peering out from the balconies.
But even if they saw the 【Stardust Dragon】, it wouldn’t matter.
Dark Demon, once again the center of attention, was about to leave the academy soon.
“Come back first, Stardust Dragon!”
Dark raised the Mana Spirit Card and aimed it at the flying 【Stardust Dragon】. Despite its clear desire to soar through the sky, it obeyed the Magus’s command and returned to the Mana Spirit Card.
With its return, the 【Stardust Dragonet】 was also recalled into the Mana Spirit Card.
They were originally one entity, not much different from 【Draconic Ballet】 and 【Draconic Arrow】.
After being summoned once, the 【Stardust Dragon】 had fully awakened, even within the Mana Spirit Card, glaring coldly at the outside.
The 【Stardust Dragonet】 flew around it constantly.
“It’s nice to have some company…” Dark suddenly said.
The size of the 【Stardust Dragon】 makes it inconvenient to summon in the academy. Although the castle’s floors are too large, it doesn’t affect its entry, but moving freely in classrooms or the library is nearly impossible.
Its movements in the academy will be restricted, limited mostly to the clubroom or the rooftop above.
These are considerations for later.
After leaving school tomorrow, the 【Stardust Dragon】 could be summoned as a mount.
—Finally, there’s a large-sized Mana Spirit that can be ridden!
Dark felt.
Inside, he was still very happy. He rewarded [Shenmi] with another pat and then closed the window, isolating the exclamation outside.
“A nine-star dragon is just a nine-star dragon; I’ve seen them before. Why make such a fuss?”
Dark turned around and walked inside, but his mind was preoccupied with the feeling that he had forgotten something.
Just now, he suddenly remembered that he had indeed forgotten a mana spirit.
“Victoria…”
“Never mind, let her be a student for now. She can be summoned when needed.”
“Of course, I need to find a mana spirit to deliver the message.”
In the action of delivering a message to Victoria, Dark chose [Deoxys].
The [Imp Beast] was still busy harvesting mental power and wouldn’t return anytime soon.
He summoned Deoxys, quickly giving the instructions.
Then, he temporarily handed the mana spirit card of the [Stardust Dragon] to the nearby [Shenmi], asking it to communicate with it.
Although their communication was incomprehensible, they were constantly making sounds, so who cared!
Dark closed a bottle of apple juice but drank two bottles of blue magic potions, meditated, and sat quietly, gradually regaining his energy.
Tonight was not the time to stop.
The surprise of the [Stardust Dragon] was just one part. He needed more surprises! “There are ten points of [Pride], which allows me to formulate another light attribute dragon.”
“That supreme [White Dragon Pearl] must be preserved, but there’s no need to keep the high-level [White Dragon Pearl] with healing properties.”
“Let’s push the [Dragon Grass] a bit more!”
Back and forth, Dark made the [Dragon Grass] bear a second [Pride Fruit] in a short time.
The [Dragon Grass] was clearly overworked, shrinking in the water basin prepared by Rose, motionless.
Dark patted its head, sighed, and asked Rose to take good care of it, then left.
It was like a scoundrel who only gives a hug after the deed.
But tonight, it was a necessary evil, and the [Dragon Grass] had to be pushed harder.
After returning to the dormitory with the second [Pride Fruit (Dragon)], Dark inserted it into [Huhu]’s body, ordering it to squeeze out the juice.
Then he quickly organized the materials, preparing for the second magical experiment tonight.
It was still the [White Dragon Pearl], three white dragon scales, one [Pride Fruit (Dragon)], and the red phosphorus of the [Sun and Moon Giant Snake] ground into powder.
Unchanging formula, unchanging process.
Only the quality and characteristics of the [White Dragon Pearl] had changed.
Dark was like a precise machine, flawlessly completing the preliminary work.
Then, he signed another contract with [Shenmi (Sky Form)], borrowing some luck from it.
Although this “luck” had not been proven, since the first attempt succeeded, Dark naturally believed in its existence.
This time’s magical formulation also did not fail.
What kind of mana spirit he could finally formulate was still uncertain.
“Mia?” [Shenmi] held the mana spirit card of the [Stardust Dragon] in one hand and pressed the new light cocoon properly with the other.
Dark echoed, “I hope it’s the [Blue-Eyed White Dragon], or even another [Stardust Dragon]!”
The ultimate skill of the [Stardust Dragon] is very suitable for multiple instances.
If he could master directed formulation in the future, he would definitely replicate two more [Stardust Dragons] after formulating the [Blue-Eyed White Dragon].
Dark poured his expectations into the light cocoon. But this time, the light cocoon did not respond to his expectations.
What emerged was not a high-tier third-step mana spirit, but a mere first-step three-star mana spirit!
Did [Shenmi]’s luck run out?
Not exactly.
After the initial disappointment at seeing the star rating, Dark quickly calmed down.
This time’s formulation result was not a high-star dragon card, but a sister card! “It turned out to be the [Qingsyan Shasha]!”
In the game Yu-Gi-Oh!, the [Qingsyan Shasha] is merely a one-star monster card.
But as a support card for the [Blue-Eyed White Dragon], it has extremely high utility. Moreover, its prototype comes from the character Ki-Sara in Yu-Gi-Oh!, who is the reincarnation of the [Blue-Eyed White Dragon], the legendary daughter of the white dragon!
Whenever the [Blue-Eyed White Dragon] is mentioned, Dark couldn’t help thinking of Senior Pandora. However, fortunately, this [Qingsyan Shasha] did not grow to resemble Senior Pandora due to some subjective concepts…
While slightly relieved, Dark felt a tinge of regret. But that’s just how he was—both hopeful and disappointed.
Unlike the [Stardust Dragon], he knew quite well about the card of the [Qingsyan Shasha] in Yu-Gi-Oh!.
The [Qingsyan Shasha] in Yu-Gi-Oh! has two effects. One effect can be activated when this card is targeted by an effect, directly special summoning a [Blue-Eyed White Dragon] from the hand, deck, or graveyard.
The other effect can be activated when this card is chosen as the attack target, invalidating the attack and changing its own state, then directly special summoning a [Blue-Eyed White Dragon] from the hand, deck, or graveyard.
In essence, once the [Qingsyan Shasha] encounters danger, it will transform into a [Blue-Eyed White Dragon].
In the Yu-Gi-Oh! deck, it is not the [Blue-Eyed White Dragon], but it can substitute for the [Blue-Eyed White Dragon] to some extent.
But what if it becomes a mana spirit?
Can it summon a [Blue-Eyed White Dragon] out of thin air? Theoretically, it’s impossible!
But what if it’s a transformation?
After all, its prototype is the reincarnation of the [Blue-Eyed White Dragon]. After a quick recollection, Dark couldn’t help but feel a glimmer of hope. He brought the mana spirit card of the [Qingsyan Shasha] in front of him, examining it closely.
“Star level… three stars.”
Just like the [Stardust Dragonet] transformed into a three-star mana spirit, the [Qingsyan Shasha] also crossed over to become a three-star mana spirit after transforming.
From the card face, its race is the rare [Humanoid], and its attribute is [Light].
Thinking carefully, this seems to be the first humanoid mana spirit card Dark has formulated.
He squinted, observing the appearance of the [Qingsyan Shasha] on the card,
It looked slightly different from the impression of the [Qingsyan Shasha] card.
The illustration of this [Qingsyan Shasha] card is more girlish.
Furthermore, since it is not [Qingsyan Shasha Kysara], one can’t help but wonder if she has no relation to Kysara at all.
However, this is not important to Dak.
He likes [Blue-Eyed White Dragon], not Kysara.
Without hesitation afterwards, Dak injected mana, obtaining feedback from the information within the [Qingsyan Shasha] mana card.
Soon, information flowed through the mana into his mind. Dak carefully examined it.
v
[[Image: Qingsyan Shasha]]
[Card Name: Qingsyan Shasha][Type: Elemental Card][Level: 803][Race: Humanoid][Attribute: Light Type][Mana: 2000][Attack: 1000][Defense: 800]
[Ultimate Skill: Blue-Eye Incarnation, Resilient! Invincible! The Strongest! Light Guidance, Light Hall]
Mana exceeding three-star top-tier, ordinary attack and defense. The positioning of [Qingsyan Shasha] is clear at a glance.
Dak focused his attention and continued to examine its ultimate skill, which would be the core determining whether it could become a trump card!
“The first ultimate skill… Blue-Eye… Incarnation?!”
Even though he had considered this possibility from the start, seeing it still greatly excited Dak.
The ultimate skill [Blue-Eye Incarnation] had once appeared on [Blue-Eyes Young White Dragon].
Although the thirty seconds of transformation time seems tight, it is enough to make it a trump card in a mana duel.
Unfortunately, the [Blue-Eyed White Dragon] formed by this incarnation is not in its complete form and cannot be used as fusion material.
Though [Blue-Eyes Young White Dragon] can transform into [Blue-Eyed White Dragon], the ultimate skill used remains its own, such as [Rays of Annihilating White Light].
This [Qingsyan Shasha] certainly does not possess an ultimate skill like [Rays of Annihilating White Light].
Then, how will the [Blue-Eyed White Dragon] transformed by her be?
Dak couldn’t help but think so, with more information flooding into his mind, causing him to show a very shocked expression in a brief moment.
[Blue-Eye Incarnation: When [Qingsyan Shasha] encounters danger or protects someone, the [Blue-Eyed White Dragon] residing in her body will emerge!]
There is no description of attribute changes, nor any mention of duration.
The [Blue-Eye Incarnation] of [Qingsyan Shasha] differs greatly from that of [Blue-Eyes Young White Dragon].
It also makes people imagine!
But before it emerges, one cannot immediately obtain clear information from the mana card.
Dak had to suppress his impulse and continue to look at the next ultimate skill of [Qingsyan Shasha] — [Resilient! Invincible! The Strongest!].
v
[Resilient! Invincible! The Strongest!: Targets one [Blue-Eye] mana golem on the field. For thirty seconds, that mana golem is unaffected by change-type ultimate skills from other sources, cannot be destroyed in battle, its attack power doubles, each attack carries destructive force, and damage taken cannot be recovered.]
(Image: Resilient! Invincible! The Strongest!)
Resilient! Invincible! The Strongest!
A truly invincible technique!
Dak suddenly felt a bit dazed; happiness always comes unexpectedly.
If [Blue-Eye Incarnation] allows [Qingsyan Shasha] to exceed her limits, then this move [Resilient! Invincible! The Strongest!] instantly turns her into the strongest auxiliary!
Just these thirty seconds of invincibility are enough to change most battle situations.
The only pity is that this is a special boost ultimate skill targeting [Blue-Eye].
Also, it’s unknown if this ultimate skill still exists after she transforms into [Blue-Eyed White Dragon].
However, Dak originally had [Baby Blue-Eye Dragon]. Based on [Baby Blue-Eye Dragon], he could hatch dragon eggs to produce [Blue-Eyes Young White Dragon], and fuse and evolve into [Blue-Eyes Tyrant Baby Dragon] and [Twin Burst Baby Blue-Eye Dragon].
[Resilient! Invincible! The Strongest!] can affect them all.
At worst, he could gain this ultimate skill through [Magical Beast: Ibut]’s mimicry or let [Magical Beast: Ditto] transform to get it.
This method might seem cumbersome in a mana duel, but who cares in actual combat!
Of course, stronger is better!
This is undoubtedly a key ultimate skill that can instantly raise the upper limit of Dak’s deck!
“This is Shenmi’s luck? But why do I have a bad feeling? Could I suffer backlash afterwards?”
Dak couldn’t help but mutter.
After calming down, he looked at the third ultimate skill of [Qingsyan Shasha] — [Light Guidance]!
v
[Light Guidance: The compassionate heart of Qingsyan Shasha, when a [Blue-Eye] mana golem dies before her, guides their soul back to life with her light. When Qingsyan Shasha disappears, the [Blue-Eye] mana golems guided back to life will return to the underworld.]
▲
“[Blue-Eye] Resurrection!”
Without the many restrictions of [Light Guidance] in Yu-Gi-Oh!, [Qingsyan Shasha]’s [Light Guidance] is almost equivalent to perfectly reviving [Blue-Eye] mana golems, apart from limiting the target and being deeply tied to [Qingsyan Shasha] herself.
“Is this the ultimate manifestation of what is called [Cure]—[Resurrection]?”
Ultimate skills for resurrection are always precious, especially those without conditions.
This [Light Guidance] is practically an unbeatable enhancement for the [Blue-Eye] series. Originally able to regenerate as a spirit in the [Light Hall], they now have another life.
Dak pondered for a moment and directly looked at the last ultimate skill of [Qingsyan Shasha].
It was an ultimate skill with little surprise, but one that wouldn’t appear less even if there were several — [Light Hall]!
[There was some delay today due to issues with renovations and the broadband being cut off… Anyway, it’s still 12,000 yuan, 4,000 for the base, and 8,000 for extra chapters, adding four chapters, with eight remaining to be updated. I need to catch up on sleep, and I’ll update chapter three tomorrow morning.]
