Chapter 186: Dark Demon rises abruptly 2 in 1
After dinner.
Dark listed the remaining core resources in his hands.
[Pride] 1 point.
Harpie's Feather
A mermaid's scale
Bear doll's button eye.
With the exception of the fourth, which was reserved to be given to Dianna as a Christmas present, the other three were available for use.
In fact, the first time Dark got "Harpie's Feather", he thought of a magic spell card in "Yu-Gi-Oh"[Harpie's Feather Duster]!
But that was clearly impractical.
There were too many elements needed to make a magic spell card.
Dark could make [Curse Cage] because there were ready-made tutorials, and even the Magic Charm that needed to be written had a basic framework.
If he completely relied on himself to write a Magic Charm that didn't exist at all, he would undoubtedly be asking for trouble.
So a more practical idea was to use "Harpie's Feather" to gamble and see if he could make a low-star card of the [Harpie Lady] series.
As for the mermaid's scale, it was natural to use it to refine a card from the Merpeople series.
Merpeople's symbol was Envy in the seven deadly sins, but unfortunately, Dark's Envy indicator was too low to be used in the short term.
But none of this matters.
After careful consideration, Dark decided to gamble cards!
On the path of improvement, he would still need to pay some prices eventually.
Even if he failed, it wouldn't matter if he lost a little material.
But what if it worked?
Maybe there would be some unexpected surprises.
Thinking of this, Dark was even more determined.
He glanced at the clock on the wall, it was exactly seven in the evening.
If his speed was fast enough, two experiments could be completed by nine o'clock.
He soon began to prepare.
The basic refining method was the refining method with the highest randomness.
If he was lucky enough, and the added materials were precious enough, there was even a chance to make a high-star magical spirit card!
Of course, the probability would be very low.
Basically, like buying a lottery ticket.
Therefore, it was most appropriate and practical to limit the preciousness of the material within a certain range and aim at the magic card of the first tier.
It took Dark half an hour to complete the pre-production of the first magic card. After activating the No. 1 refining magic circle, he started to put in the core material.
The first of course was "Harpie's Feather".
Maybe the power contained in "Harpie's Feather" was enough, just after the feather was put in, the light of No. 1 refining magic circle was already very strong.
Before the end of the refining, Dark did not forget to drip a little saliva prepared in advance according to the instructions of the professor.
"Saliva" was actually an excellent catalyst in the process of refining magical spirit cards.
Because human saliva contained rich elements, which could promote the formation of life.
The effect of "saliva" was obvious.
The radiance of the refining magic circle No. 1 reached its limit and quickly converged.
Then, some black impurities overflowed from the card surface, gradually covering the magic card.
After two minutes, the magic card finally stopped responding.
Dark took out the tool, carefully scraped off part of the black impurities covering the magic card, picked it up with tweezers, and put it under the tap to rinse for a while.
As most of the stains on the surface were washed away, the corners of the magic card were exposed, gradually exuding a blue glow.
"It's a blue card!"
Dark's thoughts moved, revealing joy.
Of course, he didn't think that he would get a golden card. To him, as long as it was not a white card, it was already really great!
...
After a while.
Dark placed the washed magic card on the table and observed it carefully.
The pattern on the card was not the Harpie he imagined, but the "Hawlucha" that was more like an "eagle"!
Hawlucha was a type of Pokmon that was less than a meter tall when it stood up and looked at first glance like a wrestler wearing an eagle hood.
It had a blue-green mask-like pattern on its face, and three orange feathers stood on top of its head.
Its wings were spread open, with red on the outside and green on the inside, like a cloak, quite handsome.
"It's a 3-star card!"
[Card name: Hawlucha]
[Type: spirit card]
[Level: ]
[Race: Bird & Beast-type]
[Attribute: Fighting-type/Flying-type]
[Magic energy: 1100]
[Attack: 1500]
[Defense:1200]
[Ultimate: Feather Dance]
...
"A very standard 3-star blue card. A full 1500 attack power is a plus point, and the ultimate is Feather Dance, which is a skill that can directly drop the target's attack power by 2 levels in the Pokmon world, but it is obviously different here."
[Feather Dance: Envelops the foe with feathers to prevent it from attacking.]
In short, it was a good skill similar to the "smoke bomb"
The use of this ultimate was obviously not limited to just throwing at opponents.
If used well, it could be used as a field control technique for blocking the line of sight.
...
By now, Dark was quite used to the fact that the magical spirit he had crafted was leaning towards Pokmon.
Instead of being surprised, he began to look forward to the next magical spirit.
"In the world of Pokmon, what would a Pokmon based on Merpeople be? Milotic? No, it looks like a giant oarfish..."
Of course, he didn't immediately start refining the next magical spirit, but he summoned Hawlucha first and did some experiments.
[Pride I], [Pride II], [Lust III].
After the three deadly sin cards were used in turn, Dark took Hawlucha back into the card.
He wouldn't say that he was disappointed.
Hawlucha was originally a Pokmon with no evolutionary potential. Perhaps a higher-star Hawlucha could be made with more precious materials, but with deadly sin cards, it was obviously impossible to further improve it.
However, this was also in line with Dark's expectations at the beginning.
And that was to obtain a 3-star magical spirit that could fight with the opponent head-on!
...
The second experiment started very soon.
Dark quickly completed the pre-step and moved on to the final material placement step.
The core material this time was naturally "a mermaid's scale"!
Dark carefully dropped "a mermaid's scale" into the light emitted by No. 1 refining magic circle.
As the scale was swallowed up by the light, he retracted his hand, observed it carefully, and then dripped his saliva in again.
But this time, the light of the refining magic circle was still flickering.
At this time, if there were [Envy] drops, Dark would definitely be put in it.
But he only had a little [Pride] drops left in his hand, and he still hadn't taken it out from the worm branch.
What should I do?
Dark's eyes began to wander.
It was definitely not wise to add "Bear Doll's Button Eye". Putting more than two cores into a refining circle was a taboo.
Then only some auxiliary materials could be added.
And the auxiliary materials that were readily available around him were
"Ding!"
Dark suddenly had an idea, and his eyes shifted towards the three cat grasses that were waiting to be petted!
Of the three different species of cat grass, one gave birth to Pride fruit and two gave birth to Lust fruit.
And after the fruit was ripe and picked, it left with thin stems on top of their heads.
Those three thin stems like idiot hairs became precious in Dark's eyes!
"When it comes to Merpeople, except for [Envy], there's also [Lust], and here happens to be two stems of [Lust Fruit]."
Dark walked over immediately, took the first cat grass that jumped up, and then caught the second fox grass. He then moved the sinful scissors closer to the thin stem above its head!
"Snip!"
"Vee?"
Fox Grass let out a soft cry, feeling as if something important was lost, and it was a little empty inside its heart.
So it moved closer to Dark's arms.
But the cold-hearted Dark abandoned it after using it and turned to cow grass!
"Snip!"
"Moo?"
The cow grass became flustered.
After obtaining two [Lust] stems, Dark quickly returned, and put one of them into the light of the No. 1 refining magic circle first.
As the refining magic circle engulfed that stem, the light gradually stabilized.
But not enough!
Dark then added the second stem!
The light really became stronger!
The entire refining magic circle started to work at high speed.
The materials put into it were fused and digested by the refining magic circle, and the process of "taking the essence, getting rid of the dross" began.
Some black and green impurities were expelled.
But the more essential things were kept.
It was a familiar scene again.
As these impurities were spewed out, the entire refining process went extremely smoothly.
Dark couldn't help showing a look of anticipation.
The basic refining method actually had a failure rate, and it was quite high.
But he tried it three times and succeeded three times, making him wonder if it was because of his "saliva", or because he was born with good luck!
...
When the magic card was completed, Dark cleaned it, and found out that it was actually a two-star purple card!
On the card, it was a very cute little sea lion!
This sea lion had hydrated, smooth blue skin, a pure white mouth, quivering whiskers, and a pink bulbous nose.
It had a light blue collar around its neck, and a pair of forelimbs and tail fins on the front and back of its body.
Anyway, it was super cute!
...
[Card name: Popplio]
[Type: spirit card]
[Level: ]
[Race: Bird & Beast-type]
[Attribute: Water type]
[Magic energy: 500]
[Attack: 700]
[Defense: 300]
[Ultimate: Liquid Voice, Disarming Voice]
...
Dark obviously preferred this Popplio to Hawlucha.
Although it only had two stars, as one of the three starter Pokmon in the Pokmon Sun & Moon, Popplio had enormous potential for evolution!
[PopplioBrionnePrimarina]
The final evolutionary form [Primarina] was the Pokmon based on Merpeople.
From the data panel, the stats of [Popplio] could only be said to be quite satisfactory among the two-star magical spirits, and it was very similar to the two-star Eevee.
But as a purple card, it had two skills, a passive skill evolved from the hidden feature [Liquid Voice], and a fair-type skill [Disarming Voice].
[Liquid Voice: Liquid Voice turns the magical spirit's sound-based moves into Water-type moves.]
[Disarming Voice: Letting out a charming cry, the user does emotional damage to opposing magical spirits.]
Each magical spirit had its own attributes. Under normal circumstances, when using the ultimate of other attributes, the power would be greatly reduced.
Only by using the moves of their own attributes could they unleash their full power.
[Liquid Voice], like [Pixilate] of [Phantom Magic Beast: Sylveon], was a passive skill that converted other attributes into attributes of their own, but [Liquid Voice] had no additional power bonus.
Unfortunately, the only ultimate [Disarming Voice] was not very powerful.
Even after being transformed into a move of its own attribute, it was still lackluster.
Because [Sylveon] also had [Disarming Voice], so Dark was no stranger to it.
However, [Popplio] without [Cute Charm] as the base cannot bring out the charming effect of [Disarming Voice].
This could only be said to be very regrettable.
...
In Popplio's evolution chain, Popplio and Brionne were pure water attribute type magical spirits, only the final evolutionary form - [Primarina] had the additional fairy attribute!
This meant that the evolution of [Primarina] was likely to use the magic card of the [Lust] series!
But that would already be the second stage of evolution.
Before that, Dark needed to figure out how to make [Popplio] evolve into [Brionne].
The cards of the [Pride] series were obviously not good.
The cards of the [Lust] series were somewhat possible.
But [Envy] should be the first choice.
The symbol of [Envy] was Mercury, and its attribute was leaning towards water; therefore, it was a deadly sin that fit perfectly with Merpeople.
However, Dark still summoned [Popplio], and then used three deadly sin cards in turn to test it.
And sure enough.
The first two [Pride] had little effect, and the latter one [Lust III] caused some phenomena, but it did not make [Popplio] evolve.
There was also no star-rising phenomenon like what happened to [Phantom Magic Beast: Eevee].
Obviously [Phantom Magic Beast: Eevee] was special, and like [Phantom Magic Beast: Ditto], any kind of [deadly sin card] could work on it.
"Bwark!"
"Okay, pet, pet."
Dark was a little helpless. He could only deal with the lustized Popplio, temporarily letting go of his thoughts.
...
Today's experiments have so far been fruitful.
Dark looked back and suddenly realized that he had made four magic cards in succession, [Curse Cage], [Phantom Magic Beast: Ditto], [Hawlucha] and [Popplio] in one day!
It could be said that the day was very fulfilling.
With these four magic cards, his deck was further improved.
Next year, he would also be able to perform better when he was signing up for the Dueling Club.
"The only unfinished magic cards left are [Fusion] and [Zoo]!"
"The refining of the [zoo] card has a long way to go."
"[Fusion] on the other hand can be tried as soon as possible. Regardless of success or failure, it is always necessary to take this step. 1500 credits of materials can be treated as a valuable experience."
"I just don't know when senpai will be free?"
