The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　Dark was speechless and said, "Let's go, it's time to eat."

　“Hmm.” Ergane stood up.

　Dak always felt that she was a little excited after hearing "eat".

　……

　Ergani has largely finished grading all the math problem sets for the House of Nobles.

　At the dinner table, Dak inquired about the results of her corrections and was ultimately satisfied.

　The most distinctive feature of the House of Nobles is its emphasis on face; regardless of the reason, only a minority of students would try to skip assignments.

　Of course, "minority" means not zero.

　Even among the first-year students at the Noble Academy, some had submitted unfinished assignments, as well as assignments with scribbled messes.

　Ergani marked these individuals with special attention.

　Dak also planned to have them finish their homework.

　After that, the two ran out of things to say and just ate their food with their heads down.

　They looked exactly like boys and girls forced into blind dates.

　Dark didn't want to say much, while Ergane simply had nothing to say.

　In short, the two parted ways at the entrance of the cafeteria after lunch.

　Ergani continued on to the office to grade assignments.

　Dak then went to Professor Sylph to apply for a laboratory.

　The application process for the laboratory went smoothly.

　Professor Sylph simply asked him how he was getting along with Ergani before giving him the authority to choose an available laboratory.

　After thinking for a moment, Dak asked for the location of Professor Kazel's laboratory and went for a walk around there.

　Professor Cazell has a private laboratory in a rather secluded corner.

　In other words, most of the classrooms in that area were empty.

　Dak then chose a room next door and returned to Professor Sylph's office to collect the key and experimental equipment.

　After the afternoon "Warcraft Studies" class, the staff had already converted the classroom into a laboratory and placed new experimental equipment and some basic materials there.

　Seeing the brand-new, spacious laboratory made Dak feel much better.

　With this laboratory, he no longer needed to continue those overly dangerous experiments in his dormitory. He could finally begin further education for the magical spirits.

　Before that, however, he needs to apply to the college for a project experiment in his capacity as a professor in order to obtain project funding.

　Although he receives a fixed batch of experimental materials from the academy every month, that batch is probably not enough to fully develop the magical spirits' abilities.

　Furthermore, there is no need to hide the educational experiments on the magical spirits; the results can be shared with the academy.

　Furthermore...

　Dark had a sudden idea: "Couldn't we find Ergani something to do?"

　Hey, this assistant is really useful!

　……

　Having come up with an idea, Dak was no longer worried about it. He returned to his dormitory, organized some materials, and prepared to try it out before dinner.

　Therefore, when he returned to his private laboratory, he was carrying large bags and packages.

　He had been thinking about this experiment for a long time, so getting started was a natural process.

　"The alchemy method is [Bird Beast Species - Light Attribute]."

　"The core material is the eyeball of the sun god statue."

　"The secondary material is 'Fire Lion's Fang'."

　"The auxiliary materials are [Arrogant Juice (Lion)], Active Egg Liquid, Light-type Attribute Powder, and Fire-type Attribute Powder..."

　"The base ingredient is 'secret meat jelly'."

　"The initial target is the symbol of the sun—the Corona Beast!"

　He originally had 10 points of "Pride", and this time, in order to cultivate a [Fruit of Pride (Lion)], he used another 7 points, so he has 3 points left.

　As for the "secret meat jelly," it was one of the fixed ingredients he received from the academy.

　The life base made using this "secret meat jelly" as a base material is of higher quality than the life base made using Elf Honey and Brain Essence Water. However, compared to the "Soul Residue" he used before, it is lower in quality.

　But since it's free, it's a win-win situation.

　However, the "Fang of the Fire Lion" was something he chose himself.

　As a full professor, he receives a fixed batch of experimental materials from the college every month, a small portion of which he can choose from within a certain range.

　The quality of "Fire Lion's Fang" is neither high nor low, but it's better than nothing.

　In short, the purpose of these secondary and auxiliary materials is to reduce randomness.

　The real key to improving the quality of magic cards is still the "Eye of the Sun God Statue"!

　The "Sun God Statue Eye" contained the divine power of the Sun-Devouring Lion and was also an important material that led the experimental results to the "Corona Beast".

　After everything was ready, Dark picked out a standard blank magic card given by the academy from the box and began to make the base.

　Considering that there was only one set of experimental materials and that this was the first experiment in this private laboratory, he needed to get off to a good start, so he became extremely serious after the experiment began.

　But all he could do was increase the probability of the experiment's success and minimize randomness as much as possible.

　After more than half an hour, the long-awaited experiment to create the Magical Spirit Card was finally successfully completed.

　The magic cards on the lab table had formed a cocoon of light, emanating a faint aura of flame.

　Dark put down the magic pen and began to methodically tidy up the experimental tools and leftover materials.

　He has conducted similar experiments many times and will no longer be troubled by them.

　About five minutes later, the energy fluctuations inside the cocoon gradually subsided.

　Dark picked up the mercury knife and carefully cut open the cocoon of light. He watched as the murky sap flowed out like an egg yolk. After a moment, he used tweezers to remove the magic card and placed it in a basin of water to rinse it.

　After rinsing it clean, he held the magic card up to his eyes and smiled smugly.

　—Not "Corona Beast".

　—It's "Flame Lion Beast"!

　……

　"Flame Lion Beast", also known as "Lion Soaring Through the Sky".

　With its golden mane and eagle-like wings, and golden flames burning on its tail, it is a Digimon with a strong leadership quality.

　In addition, it is the adult evolution form of "Coronamon"!

　"It's a bit of a shame, it's not 'Shining Lion Beast'."

　Dak shook his head, a look of regret on his face.

　Sunmon → Coronamon → FlameLeomon → ShiningLeomon → Apollomon + Dianamon → ElegantNovamon

　"But since we already have 'Lunamon' and 'Radiant Lionmon,' 'GraceNovamon' must be just around the corner."

　Dark smiled and then looked down to examine the magic cards.

　As a Champion-level Digimon, "FlameLeomon" has six stars, just like "Lexmon," the evolved form of "Lunamon," making it the pinnacle of the second tier.

　However, unlike the rabbit-human form of "Rexmon", "Flame Lionmon" is a completely beast-type Digimon.

　If you look closely, you can sense a faint trace of divinity emanating from this magic card.

　It is clear that it has indeed possessed the potential to evolve into a "god".

　Its attributes are light and fire, which is very standard.

　After confirming it, Darke used magic to explore its detailed data.

　Card Name: Flame Lion

　[Type: Spirit Card]

　【grade:】

　[Race: Bird-Beast]

　[Attribute: Light/Fire]

　【Magic Power: 2800】

　[Attack: 3200]

　[Defense: 2500]

　[Special Moves: Flaming Dive, Flaming Claws, Flame Bomb, Sunny Day]

　A powerful attack exceeding 3000 points, with absolutely formidable magic and defense.

　This "Flame Lion Beast" has far superior stats compared to "Rex Beast".

　However, its focus is clearly different from that of "Rexmon".

　First is "Flame Dive".

　[Flaming Dive: The Flame Lion Beast engulfs its entire body in flames and plunges down from the sky at high speed to launch a surprise attack on the target. Inflicts burn damage.]

　It feels like this "Flame Dive" is an aerial dive version of "Flame Wheel" or "Flame Charge".

　Its exact power is still unknown, but it should not be greater than "Flash Charge".

　Aside from the burning damage from the flames, it has no other special effects.

　Its second ultimate move is "Flame Claw".

　[Flame Claws: The Flame Lion Beast envelops its claws in flames, using the power of its flame jets to increase its explosive power and speed. This allows the Flame Lion Beast to run faster and gain greater offensive power, inflicting burning damage.]

　Its advantage lies in its ability to be used on all four claws simultaneously, which allows "Flame Lion" to gain a brief burst of speed. While it cannot sustain an attack power increase like "Rexmon's Moon Gloves," it should be more explosive in terms of power.

　Dark infused more magic power and looked toward the third ultimate move.

　[Flame Bomb: Flame Lion Beast concentrates all its power into its forehead, unleashing a powerful bomb. The user is weakened after using this finishing move.]

　Judging from the description, this "Flame Bomb" should be a special move of the same type as the "Tengu" of the "Nine-Tailed Fox Beast".

　However, "Flame Lion" is not a magic-based spirit that focuses on burst damage. Therefore, the power of "Flame Bomb" may not be comparable to "Tengu", but it is certainly not weak.

　Overall, Flame Lion's three special attacks are very characteristic of Digimon: violent, simple, and straightforward.

　But his fourth ultimate move is a bit puzzling.

　Following Drill Molemon's acquisition of the Pokémon move "Dig," Seimon has also acquired the Pokémon move "Sunny Day"!

　Furthermore, the "Sunny Day" of "Flamingomon" is different from the "Sunny Day" of "Eevee".

　【Sunny Day: Unleashes the power of the sun, clearing the sky. Intensifies sunlight for five turns, increasing the power of Light and Fire attribute special moves, while suppressing the power of Dark and Water attribute special moves. Light (Fire) attribute special moves are increased by 50%, and Dark (Water) attribute special moves are decreased by 50%.】

　The 【Sunny Day (Arrogance)】 obtained after using "Arrogance II" in "Eevee: Monster Hunter" is a special version of "Arrogance" and does not have the original "Sunny Day" effect. It does not affect Fire and Water type special moves.

　This "Flame Lion Beast's" "Sunny Day" is a combination of the "Arrogant Version" and the "Original Version." It can affect not only Light and Dark attributes, but also Fire and Water attributes.

　When we don't have any water-type magic Pokémon on our side, "Flame Lion Beast's" "Sunny Day" is obviously more useful.

　After a moment's thought, Dax began to summon.

　……

　[A five-in-one, 10,000-word epic chapter.]

　I'm tired, I'll take the night off to rest.

Chapter 797

　"In the name of Dark Demon, I offer this sacrifice to summon—'Flame Lion Beast'!"

　Using two first-tier magical spirits as sacrifices, Dark directly summoned the "Flame Lion Beast" in the laboratory.

　A winged fiery lion stepped out of the sacrificial summoning circle, its massive head tilted back at a certain angle, its eyes cold and arrogant.
