Dark gritted his teeth and brought the "Dragon Grass" back to the balcony to absorb "Greed".
After another seven "Greed" moments, the second "Fruit of Greed" of the day has been successfully cultivated.
Dark called the magical spirit to carry it back to the pool in the clubroom to recuperate, and then began the third magical alchemy session of the day.
This time, he's going to try a different approach.
Although he used the same basic crafting method for [Dragon-Rock type], he decided to add some fire-attribute materials to counteract the water-attribute of "Dragon Grass," and then add three "Earth Dragon Scales" to add earth attribute while further emphasizing the dragon attribute.
"I, Dark Dimon, am determined to refine this dragon today!" After preparing the materials, Dark immediately began the third transmutation experiment of the day.
This experiment took a little longer than usual, and it was finally completed almost an hour later.
However, the experiment did not fail.
The addition of "Greedy Juice" was sufficient to guarantee quality. Therefore, Dark remained steadfast, watching the constantly flashing cocoon of light.
Once the reaction within the cocoon of light ceased, he took the mercury knife and slowly cut it open.
As the cocoon of light split open, the aura of the Magical Spirit Card was slightly released.
However, this Magical Spirit card is not the type that exudes an aura, so you still can't sense any dragon energy.
The rock stuck to the magic card made him frown.
This type of dirt cannot be washed off with water and is relatively difficult to clean.
Several minutes later, Dark cleaned the dirt off the magic card and was finally able to see the card's face clearly.
In the card, a giant snake made of several huge gray rocks was sitting coiled up!
If it's not Onix, then what could it be?
Chapter 1051 The Second Onix (4k First Update)
string (13150) "
Chapter 1051 The Second Onix (4k First Update)
The second one is "Onix"!
It must be said that the final result was truly unexpected. Using different materials, they ultimately created the same magical spirit, and within less than three hours of each other.
Dark couldn't calculate exactly how low the probability of this happening was. But after glancing at the golden halo emanating from the edge of the "Onix" image, he thought it was fine this way.
Having an extra ultimate skill increases strength, and you no longer need to worry about whether to unlock intelligence.
"The best way is to 'dig a hole'."
With that thought in mind, Dark infused his magic to check the data on Onix's panel.
Soon, the information was returned.
v
Card Name: Onix Type: Pokémon Card Level: Cooooo Race: Reptile
[Type: Rock/Ground] [Magic Power: 2500]
[Attack: 1000] [Defense: 4000]
[Special Moves: Snake, Invisible Rock, Wide Guard, Heavy Slam]
"The base stats are exactly the same as the first 'Onix' card. Hopefully, the special moves will be different."
If the same type of magical spirit has different special moves, it can actually be used as two different magical spirit cards.
In actual use, Dark often uses "Eevee: Monster Hunter" as different Magical Spirit cards.
As for this "Onix"... "Let's take a look first."
He quickly adjusted his mindset and channeled more magic power to check the information on ultimate skills. However, what first entered his mind was an unknown skill called "Snake".
"I play Snake and Tetris!"
Even so, Dark couldn't help but perk up and became even more interested. The word "greedy" in "Snake" does match the word "greed," so perhaps it's a powerful finishing move that doesn't live up to its name.
v
[Snake: Onix lives underground and is greedy for hard minerals. It twists its long, sturdy body to dig forward in the ground, rapidly devouring various hard minerals to make its body even harder.]
"This is……"
Dark couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
This "Greedy Snake" is clearly a special move with the attribute of "greed," and it is a special move that inherits the biological characteristics of "Onix."
Onix can absorb various hard objects to make its body stronger.
Over time, the stone parts inside its body will become as hard as diamonds, and its body will become increasingly rounded.
It also has magnets inside its brain, which enable it to dig its way forward without losing its direction, even when digging underground.
Powerful trainers will feed Onix a special substance to make its body harder.
However, as a magical spirit, Dark can't raise Onix like a trainer raises a Pokémon—but that's assuming he doesn't have the special move "Snake"!
In other words, with the "Snake," the "Onix" gains the potential to grow stronger.
"Absorbing minerals hardens the body, theoretically increasing basic defense. This is similar to the 'Seal' of the 'Grim Reaper's Coffin.' The only question is what level and type of minerals need to be absorbed, and whether there's an upper limit."
"But there's no rush for these things. As long as they're actually useful, we can try them out gradually later."
"Another point to note is that this special attack also seems to grant Onix the ability to move underground."
After figuring it out, Dark immediately looked at the next finishing move.
But contrary to his expectations, this second special move was not the "Harden" that the first "Onix" already possessed, but another special move - "Stealth Rock"!
v
【Invisible Rock (Greed): Onix creates an invisible rock that floats within an area, stripping opponents who enter that area of a portion of their life force—up to one-eighth of the target's maximum life force—for five turns.】
"While 'Invisible Rock' is a very good special move, doesn't it... 'Harden'?"
"Harden" can instantly increase defense by 50%, and when combined with defensive skills that can be upgraded, it can have a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts.
But if it doesn't exist, then so be it.
The saying goes that you can't have everything. If he could only choose between "snake" and "hardening", he would definitely choose "snake".
After all, the growth potential of "Snake" is permanent, while "hardening" is only a temporary buff.
Furthermore, since the first "Onix" already has the special move "Harden", it can be used on this second "Onix" simply by crafting it into a "Special Move Card".
Therefore, Dark quickly turned his attention back to the "Invisible Rock".
The special move "Stealth Rock" is very similar to terrain moves such as "Sunny Day", "Mist Terrain" and "Sandstorm". It also lasts for five rounds. In a duel, it is mainly used to deal with duelists who summon frequently.
Once "Invisible Rock" is laid out on the field, every summoned magical Pokémon will suffer damage from "Invisible Rock" once.
The damage is considerable, and it's true damage regardless of defense. However, the damage description for this ultimate skill includes the word "maximum," indicating that its damage is not fixed.
It's possible that the damage decreases if you repeatedly enter the area. After pondering for a moment, Dark continued to look at the next ultimate move—"Wide-Area Defense"!
"Wide Area Defense" is an extremely powerful group defense skill. Dark clearly remembered that he had rolled it once when using "Lucky Dice".
v
[Wide-Area Defense: Puts your field into a wide-area defense state until the end of thirty seconds, protecting all your magical spirits from attacks targeting all your own or all spirits on the field.]
Of course, "Wide Area Defense" is not a true absolute defense. Like special moves such as "Guard", it has a limit to what it can withstand, but the limit is extremely high, so there is basically no need to worry about it.
And the final special move of this "Onix" is "Heavy Slam"!
"Heavyweight Impact! Finally, a finishing move with decent power!"
Dark was overjoyed and poured in more magic to check the effect of "Heavy Impact".
Surprisingly, the effect of that special move was quite suitable for Onix.
v
[Heavy Impact: Onix charges at its opponent with its massive body. The heavier Onix is than its opponent, the greater the power of Heavy Impact. The attack power of Heavy Impact is equal to (base attack x weight multiple), with a maximum multiple of ten.]
It differs slightly from the original Pokémon moves.
The power of this "heavy impact" is calculated as "base attack x weight multiple".
If Onix's weight is the same as the target it charges at, it can only deal damage equal to 1000 attack power.
However, if Onix's weight is more than ten times that of the target it is charging at, it can cause maximum damage, which is the damage that a full 10000 points of attack can cause.
This means that even though Onix's base attack only has a paltry 1,000 points, it can still inflict massive, overwhelming damage on smaller opponents.
However, the standard weight of an Onix is only 210 kilograms.
Comparatively speaking, a standard adult weighs around 50 to 60 kilograms, and the Onix weighs only about four times that of a human.
In this situation, the damage caused by a "heavy impact" is actually quite ordinary.
But Dark's Onix has growth potential.
If the "Snake" special move works as he expects, then as Onix gains increased defense by consuming hard minerals, its body density and weight will undoubtedly increase as well. Therefore, 210 kilograms is just the base. Onix can become even heavier!
Let's stop here for now.
Dark examined the "Orochi" magic card repeatedly, his face full of satisfaction.
Although I ultimately failed to forge my dream "Tyranitar," this second "Onix" is enough to make up for my regret.
Two "Gold Cards" and one "Orange Card".
Fortunately, the first orange Onix hadn't developed its intelligence. Otherwise, its intelligence would have needed to be transferred to the second Onix that was finally crafted.
After a long while, Dark put down the magic card in his hand.
That concludes the entire day's alchemy experiment.
Although it was only evening and he still had the whole night to spare, he didn't intend to continue crafting the Magic Spirit Cards.
After all, fourteen points of "Greed" have already been used, leaving only twenty-nine points, and the "Dragon Grass" has also been completely drained, making it unsuitable for nurturing new (Greed Fruits).
Magic cards that were not crafted using the "Fruit of the Great Sin" cannot be guaranteed to be of high quality.
Although the first "Onix" image wasn't bad either, it still paled in comparison to this second one.
Moreover, that first "Onix" was actually a very lucky result.
The saying goes, "Know when to stop."
Continuing to refine it further would be of little use.
Try to rest as much as possible for the rest of the evening and get yourself into peak condition.
Dark quickly tidied up the experimental residue, put all the newly crafted magical spirit cards into his card bag, and then got up and went out to the cafeteria.
Today is May 22nd, and in the blink of an eye, there are less than ten days left until the end of the semester.
During this semester, he considered refining the "Mystic Card" several times. Although he accumulated a lot of relevant knowledge, he ultimately failed to find the time to study it.
It can only be said that plans are subject to change, and time is not a sponge; once it's truly gone, it's truly gone.
The plan to create the "Mystic Card" will have to be postponed until next semester.
"Since I have some free time this summer, I'll plan carefully which 'Mystic Cards' I can craft based on my abilities."
As Dak walked down the castle corridor, he looked out the window at the scenery and pondered deeply.
An atmosphere of anxiety permeated the castle at the end of the semester.
Even though it's Friday and there's the Academy Cup duel tomorrow, the students are still battling with their textbooks.
Thinking about it carefully, tomorrow's duel is a rare chance to relax at the end of the semester, but it's also the last time I'll relax.
We still need to stay on high alert around tomorrow.
With his hands in his pockets, Dak continued walking and soon arrived at the cafeteria. As finals approached, the cafeteria food became increasingly plentiful, though some quick and easy meals were also available.
Dark wasn't in a rush, so he ordered a lavish dinner. Just as he finished ordering and was about to turn around, the halfling chef suddenly said to him, "Good luck in tomorrow's Academy Cup!"
Dak paused, then turned back and smiled, "Yes, we will." The halfling chef also smiled.
Dark then turned and left, choosing an empty table to sit down. For many who weren't deeply involved, the Academy Cup consisted only of this final duel, and they mostly chose to watch it at this time, enjoying the final duel extravaganza of the entire school year.
This applies to people outside the academy as well. Every year at this time, countless dueling enthusiasts flock to their respective St. Marian Academy dueling halls, filling them to capacity.
