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

　In any case, given his complete lack of knowledge about Synchro Summoning, Dark would find it difficult to figure out the evolutionary form of Stardust Dragon.

　However, the strength of this "Stardust Dragon" card should be sufficient to be used as an ace.

　Even if it were to transform into a magical spirit, it should still be no less powerful than the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon".

　Dark looked at the "Stardust Dragon" in his hand with slight excitement, and couldn't help but pull "Shami" off his shoulder and peck it.

　"Sky Form" Shaymin is incredibly lucky. He originally thought that at most he could create a Magical Spirit Card like the eight-star "Charizard Dragon".

　I never expected to reach nine stars so quickly!

　That's right, after this "Stardust Dragon" is transformed into a Magical Spirit Card, it also becomes a nine-star card, just like "Blue-Eyes White Dragon"!

　Dark released "Shami" and looked at "Stardust Dragon" again, simultaneously channeling magic to examine its detailed attributes.

　Card Name: Stardust Dragon [Type: Spirit Card]

　[Level: c88aoooool (Race: Dragon)]

　[Attribute: Light/Flying] [Magic Power: 4500] [Attack: 5000] [Defense: 4500]

　【Ultimate Techniques: Starlight Avenue, Star Summoning, Stardust Radiance, Meteor Sonic Strike】

　The Stardust Dragon's three stats are exactly the same as the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's: perfect magic power and defense, and overpowered attack.

　But as expected, its "attributes" are different from those of the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon".

　In fact, Dark initially thought that "Stardust Dragon" would be a pure Flying type, but he did not expect that after transforming into a Magical Spirit, it would also gain the Light type, just like "Blue-Eyes White Dragon"!

　The Stardust Dragon has slender limbs and a body that resembles a lizardman. It has a long, thin neck and tissues that look like purple gemstones from its chest to its shoulders. Its entire body is covered with sharp spikes that look like weapons.

　Unlike the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, it is not entirely silver-white; beneath its silver-white scales lies a body with blue skin.

　It is more ferocious and vicious than the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

　However, the starlight shining around it gave it a ferocious beauty.

　Dark glanced at it briefly, then channeled more magic to examine its ultimate attack. As a nine-star dragon created using the "Pride Fruit," this "Stardust Dragon" was unsurprisingly a gold card, possessing a total of four ultimate attacks.

　The first ultimate move... is "Walk of Fame"!

　v

　[Starlight Path: When two or more friendly units on your field are about to be defeated simultaneously, the gathered prayers will transform into a radiant path, and Stardust Dragon will arrive in response. The Stardust Dragon Special Summoned by this effect gains +1 slot and +500 to Spell Power, Attack, and Defense. The radiant Starlight Path will temporarily protect friendly units from being defeated.]

　"Starlight Road" is both a rescue skill and a means to Special Summon "Stardust Dragon".

　Furthermore, the "Stardust Dragon" summoned using this method will become a "Savior," gaining effect boosts and providing absolute protection to allies about to be defeated.

　At this point, "Stardust Dragon" can be considered a ten-star "Magic Spirit"!

　But the most crucial effect of this ultimate skill is actually the absolute protection of allies!

　This protection mechanism may have its limits, but given the level of the "Stardust Dragon," its limits must be terrifyingly high.

　If used properly, this will become a crucial life-saving skill! If it can save even one life, all the materials used to forge the "Stardust Dragon" will be well worth it!

　As Dark thought of this, his fingers tightened involuntarily as he gripped the "Stardust Dragon" magic card.

　This ultimate move of the Magical Spirit Card seemed to be tailor-made for this operation. While he marveled at the luck brought by "Shaymi", he couldn't help but feel a vague sense of foreboding.

　He took a slight breath and looked at the "Stardust Dragon's" second ultimate move—"Star Summoning"!

　v

　[Stardust Summon: When the Stardust Dragon is summoned, it will simultaneously summon a companion whelp. The summoning itself does not consume mana. When the companion whelp dies, the Stardust Dragon can spend 1000 mana to summon it again.]

　[Stardust Whelp: The Stardust Whelp is the companion dragon of the Stardust Dragon. Once summoned, it has one death saving throw every thirty seconds.]

　"Stardust Dragon..."

　Upon seeing this, Dark couldn't help but frown.

　In Yu-Gi-Oh!, "Stardust Dragon" is a single-star Effect Monster with only 100 ATK and 100 DEF. Its only useful feature is its ability to be undestroyed by battle once per turn.

　But this one special move that summons "Stardust Dragon" takes up one of "Stardust Dragon's" special move slots!

　Furthermore, summoning it additionally requires a full 1000 mana points! However, the "one death saving throw every 30 seconds" effect is indeed powerful. If "Stardust Dragon" had its own special attack like "Dronmesia," then this "Stardust Summoning" special attack might not be so bad.

　After pondering for a moment, Dark stopped thinking because he couldn't immediately know the data on "Star Dragon's" panel and continued to look at "Stardust Dragon's" third ultimate move.

　So far, Stardust Dragon's first two ultimate attacks have not fundamentally improved its own abilities.

　If the next two ultimate moves are similar, then this Magical Spirit card will probably only be used as a utility card.

　Dark shook his head slightly and poured more magic into examining the situation.

　Stardust Dragon's third special attack is "Stardust Radiance"!

　【Stardust Radiance: Starlight shines brightly. Stardust Dragon can Special Summon an unsummoned or recently deceased (Stardust) Magical Spirit. Alternatively, it can illuminate one of its (Stardust) Magical Spirits by starlight, raising or lowering its Level by one star and granting it the corresponding stat boosts or debuffs.】

　[Image: Stardust Radiance]

　"Stardust Radiance! It must have been derived from that magic card called 'Stardust Illumination'."

　After reviewing the detailed description of this ultimate move, Dark began to ponder it carefully.

　"Stardust Radiance" is first and foremost a special skill, and it is also a finishing move that conforms to the rules of magic duels, allowing it to be summoned directly from the deck!

　If Dark had another "Stardust Dragon" in his hand, it would be a decisive blow.

　But in fact, Dark did not.

　Therefore, all he can do is to Special Summon back the "Stardust Magical Spirit" that just died.

　This effect currently appears to only apply to "Stardust Dragon".

　But in that case, wouldn't the first half of this ultimate skill only be worth 1000 magic points?

　In contrast, its latter effect is undeniably useful. It's important to understand that "Stardust Dragon" is itself a "Stardust Magical Spirit." Therefore, using "Stardust Radiance" can transform "Stardust Dragon" into a genuine ten-star Magical Spirit!

　However, it is not yet possible to know the attribute boost after upgrading it to ten stars.

　That thing seems to vary from person to person. The increase or decrease varies depending on the star level.

　However, if it follows logic, the three attributes of a ten-star magic spirit are all increased by a fixed amount of one thousand points each in magic attack and defense, compared to a nine-star magic spirit.

　I wonder if it will include this increase in its calculations.

　If calculated, this alone would give "Stardust Dragon" a significant boost in combat power.

　But the old problem remains: it currently lacks a direct attack or defensive ultimate move.

　"We can only pin our hopes on Stardust Dragon's final finishing move..."

　As Darke was thinking this, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him, and he noticed another possibility for "stardust brilliance".

　"Since 'Stardust Radiance' can increase or decrease the star rating of 'Stardust Dragon,' it can naturally also be used to summon a deceased 'Stardust Dragon.'"

　"Stardust Dragon" revived.

　"Under normal circumstances, it's impossible, but what if it's combined with the 'Spirit Hall of Light' from the 'Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon'?"

　"Light-attribute magical spirits that die within the 'Hall of Light' will be reborn as spirits for three minutes."

　"If we use 'Stardust Radiance' within these three minutes..." "To be honest, it's not like it's not worth a try."

　"But it's not particularly easy to experiment with."

　Dark muttered to himself for a while, then looked at Stardust Dragon's final finishing move.

　—This is finally not just a purely functional finishing move!

　[Meteor Sonic Strike: As the Stardust Dragon summons a massive meteor shower to blanket the ground, it unleashes a burst of meteoric light accompanied by a dragon's roar. If the target hit is a summoned entity, the summon is dispelled, and the entity returns to its original location.]

　"It's a wide-range, high-powered ultimate move." Dark quickly understood the effect of this ultimate move.

　"Moreover, its additional effects are very effective against summoners. In magical duels, it can even make duelists despair on the spot."

　"But its drawback is also obvious: the CD takes too long."

　"I never expected that the 'Stardust Dragon,' which I finally managed to forge, would only have such a high-cooldown attack-type ultimate skill..."

　Dak couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

　However, every special move of "Stardust Dragon" is actually very useful. It's just that its current functionality far outweighs its offensive capabilities. But if that's disregarded, this "Stardust Dragon" card is extremely versatile. It not only has a way to Special Summon, but also various survival moves. Moreover, if those special moves are explored in depth, even more techniques can be discovered. For example, with "Starlight Drive," it's entirely possible to artificially create a scenario where "two or more are killed simultaneously" to achieve the purpose of Special Summoning "Stardust Dragon."

　This is actually equivalent to a kind of esoteric ritual.

　There's also "Starlight Shines," which allows you to increase the star rating of "Stardust Dragon" to become a sacrifice for summoning a ten-star magical spirit.

　Alternatively, it could be backward compatible, used for sacrificing and summoning certain eight-star magical spirits.

　The same purpose could likely be applied to "Stardust Dragon". Of course, the additional effects of "Meteor Sonic Strike" could also be used on one's own magical spirits to forcibly recall them under special circumstances.

　In short, there are definitely many more similar techniques, but you have to discover them yourself.

　But Dark didn't have much time to realize it at that moment.

　He turned to "Shami," who had returned to his shoulder, and asked, "What reward do you want?"

　“Mmm.” “Shami” shook her head, then nodded.

　Even after learning the "Book of Beast Language," Dark still couldn't guess what it was saying...

　"Well then, I'll give you a set of stationery." Dak walked to the cabinet and took out a series of items, including a schoolbag, pencil case, paper and pens, photocopies, etc.

　Because they were useful, he had stockpiled a lot of these kinds of things in his room as a backup, and they came in handy now—of course, even if this hadn't happened today, he would still have given them away, but probably not until after he returned safely to the academy.

　"Shemi" had no idea of ​​the hardships hidden behind this whole set of things, and happily accepted it.

　But even if it knows, there's nothing it can do. Learning is beneficial for it, and these items are all things that can help it learn.

　Objectively speaking, that's luck.

　After that, Dak went to the balcony, opened the window, and let the wind in.

　The size of the "Stardust Dragon" is unknown, so he couldn't just summon it casually in his bedroom.

　In that case, let's summon it from the air outside the balcony!

　"A nine-star Magical Spirit can be summoned by sacrificing a six-star Espeon and a three-star Eevee."

　"But since we're going to summon it anyway, why not try 'Starlight Avenue'?" "Is it truly feasible to artificially create summoning conditions through 'performance'?"

　Dark thought for a moment, then took out two one-star "Ditto", one three-star "Eevee" and one "Pride 3".

　Then, he first summoned all three magical Pokémon, and then used "Pride i3" to evolve "Eevee" into "Eevee".

　Then, he commanded the two "Ditto" to turn into two birds and release them out the window.

　The two "Ditto" monsters had already flown to the designated location.

　Dark immediately commanded Espeon to use Future Sight on them.

　Then he picked up the "Stardust Dragon" and infused it with magic to sense it carefully. The "Stardust Dragon" was intelligent, but it had not yet awakened.

　It was only after Dak used magic to stimulate it that it slowly opened its eyes.

　Then, the delayed attack of "Future Prediction" erupted in the sky, and the two "Ditto" monsters almost immediately faced the crisis of being instantly killed by "Future Prediction".

　Dark narrowed his eyes instantly; he could clearly sense that the "Stardust Dragon" was reacting to the current situation.

　Even though he had never summoned it before, it had never even encountered those two "Ditto".

　However, it seems that because they are all magical spirits created by Dark, the Stardust Dragon has developed a special affinity for them, defaulting to considering them as "friendly forces."

　Thus, the conditions for launching the "Walk of Fame" ceremony were met.

　Next, it simply depends on whether Dark allows it to "come as it should be." Dark will naturally not interfere.

　In that instant, the "Stardust Dragon" in his hand emitted a blazing light.

　A magnificent starlight avenue suddenly stretched down from the sky, enveloping the two "Ditto" monsters like a pillar of light.

　At this moment, the ball of light formed by "Foresight" shot out countless beams of light towards "Ditto".

　If they had been just half a second later, the two "Ditto" monsters would have been riddled with holes by the beam of light and died on the spot.

　But now that the "Starlight Avenue" has descended from the sky, all the attacks landed on the Starlight Wall, causing not even the slightest damage to the two "Ditto".

　After that, the "Stardust Dragon" appeared along with the "Walk of Fame" and flew out amidst the dazzling starlight!

　Dark immediately looked up and, sure enough, saw another small dragon beside him—a magical sprite named "Stardust Dragon"!
