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

　He had great confidence in these three formulas for targeted forging. However, in the end... all three were wrong!

　Leaving aside the materials wasted as a result.

　All three were wrong, and all three experiments failed, which dealt a huge blow to Dark. He only recovered by relying on Sylveon's "fluffy power".

　He immediately immersed himself in research and, based on today's experimental conclusions, formulated a new alchemy formula.

　That evening, he conducted another experiment based on the new transmutation formula, but still failed.

　The targeted forging of [[Little Demon Beast]] was much more difficult than expected. However, he knew in his heart that his progress was already extremely fast. Other mages simply could not obtain the deep information of the magical spirit as directly as he had.

　Be neither arrogant nor impatient, neither hasty nor slow.

　Dark persisted, devising even more alchemical equations. Then, on Wednesday at noon, he finally succeeded!

Chapter 1019 Aurora's Starter Pokémon (4k)

　Ever since Dark began the targeted training of "Devimon", "Devimon" itself has become an inseparable accessory.

　It has been jealous (crossed out) of "Eevee" and "Ditto" for a very long time. A while ago, it was shown off by "Sylveon", and then "Milky" beat it up. Now it's finally its turn!

　How could it not pay attention?

　It looked even more nervous than Darko Dimon.

　It's as if, once the targeted forging is successfully completed, it can instantly surpass all other magical spirits!

　When Dark finally succeeded in forging its first "Devimon," it excitedly flew all over the room.

　However, Dak Dimon himself did not seem particularly excited.

　The successful completion of this targeted forging is a very memorable milestone.

　However, the "Devimon" he created through targeted training still only has one star.

　"As expected of the lowest-ranking inferior demon race in the demon race sequence..." There was some regret and some helplessness.

　Dark looked at the "Devimon" magic card, which was not much different from "Cursed Cage: Devimon," and knew that he would have to undergo a second refinement to upgrade it to three stars.

　Only the three-star "Devimon" can gain its full power after evolution.

　However, the success of the targeted refining meant that his approach was completely sound.

　The experience gained can be fully applied to the secondary alchemy process.

　This is much simpler than the secondary refining of the "Big Milk Tank".

　Therefore, he decided to adjust his strategy slightly, starting with the secondary synthesis of "Devimon" and then continuing with the secondary synthesis of "Milkyr".

　In addition, the targeted training of "Agumon" and "Gabumon" will be postponed slightly.

　After making this decision, Dark called over the excited Little Devimon and began the next experiment—transferring Little Devimon's consciousness into the newly created "Little Devimon".

　This step is actually quite crucial.

　Because Dark's "Sorting House Card" and "Curse Cage: Impmon" cannot be considered cards with the same name as "Impmon".

　He is currently undecided and very worried that he will not succeed.

　In short, after taking back the "little devil", Dark started by trying the "Sorting Card".

　The same method was used. The result was fantastic—a success on the first try!

　Although the "Sorting Card" is not a card with the same name, it is an original card of Devimon.

　However, after the success, Dark clearly sensed that the consciousness transfer of Impmon was slightly different from that of the other magical spirits.

　Its core consciousness remains within the "Sorting Card" and has not been completely transferred to the new Magic Card.

　This depends on the internal mechanism of the "Sorting Card".

　This means that Impmon has not completely escaped the constraints of the Sorting Card.

　The newly created "Little Demon Beast" magic card was just a temporary dwelling for it, like the "Curse Cage".

　Even so, Dark was able to accept it. At least it didn't affect Impmon's evolution.

　Next, he tried it again with "Cursed Cage: Impmon", but found that Impmon's consciousness could not be directly transferred from the "Cursed Cage: Impmon" card to the "Impmon" card.

　After verifying this fact, Dark seemed thoughtful, feeling that his understanding of magic cards had become much deeper.

　After that, he ignored the little impmon running around in a state of excitement and disappointment, started cleaning up the experimental residue, and then went out to the laboratory he had been assigned to as a professor.

　Diana, Rose, and Aurora were already waiting in the laboratory.

　"Good afternoon, everyone." Darke pushed open the laboratory door and said to the three...four people.

　"Mmm." Nix, her mouth full of fruit, raised her hand to greet him.

　The other three also put down their homework.

　Dark no longer needs to do homework, but Diana, Rose, and Aurora obviously can't.

　On this Wednesday afternoon when they had no classes, they arranged to meet in the lab and were both well-prepared.

　Diana and Aurora both showed obvious signs of excitement upon seeing his arrival.

　Rose was a little calmer, though she was equally happy. "When do we start?" Diana asked excitedly.

　“Now of course,” Dark said with a smile. “But I only have one set of materials, one set for each person, so it’s best not to fail.”

　His words had barely left his mouth when Diana's smile froze: "What if we fail?"

　Normal magical alchemy attempts mostly end in failure, making Dark's case truly exceptional.

　With the same resources, a mage with a higher success rate will naturally reap more rewards.

　That's why Diana felt flustered.

　But Dark simply said, "We failed today, we'll just have to wait for next time."

　"That means there will be a next time," Diana patted her swollen chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

　The opportunity to have Dark assist in the creation of a magical spirit was extremely rare, and she did not want to fail at all.

　Dark asked directly, "Then, who goes first?" Rose shook her head slightly and said, "I'll go last."

　Diana wanted to raise her hand, but after glancing at Aurora, she said, "Then I'll be second."

　“In that case, I’ll do it without hesitation.” Aurora took a deep breath and put down her pen.

　She was, of course, very much looking forward to it.

　A magical spirit created with Dark's assistance. Like the fruit of their union, it holds extraordinary significance in her heart.

　Dark immediately nodded and said, "Let's start with Aurora." As he spoke, he placed the toolbox he was carrying on the table and opened it. Inside the box was the most crucial item: three vials of juice extracted from the "Fruit of Bliss."

　He made a lot of preparations for this afternoon's experiment, including having three different "cat grasses" each produce three "fruits of bliss".

　Those three "cat grasses" are "rabbit grass", "bear grass" and "dog grass".

　Dark once used "Bunnygrass" to help Rose create "Flame Rabbit", "Bearbear Grass" to create "Torchicken", and "Doggrass" to create "Shaymi".

　The "Bear Bear Grass" was a gift from Diana, while the "Dog Dog Grass" was a pair that was purchased directly, one large and one small.

　The last time I refined "Shemi", I used the larger one.

　This time, however, Dark used a "puppy" to cultivate a "Fruit of Bliss".

　As for why they are all "Fruits of Bliss", it's simply because there are plenty of ingredients!

　He certainly wanted to choose different "Sin Fruits" based on the personalities of the three. But a skilled cook can't cook without rice, so this was the only option for now. In any case, having had the successful experience with "Fire Rabbit," Dark knew that his idea was entirely feasible.

　Having been notified in advance, Aurora had already prepared the core materials needed for this alchemy.

　She had limited access to materials and hadn't made a significant effort to collect them during her several outings. However, she could relatively easily obtain one of the most precious materials—the scales of the "Sun and Moon Serpent"!

　She took one blue snake scale and one red snake scale, then processed the two scales beforehand by grinding them into powder, and then took a small bottle of each.

　"Use both bottles?" Dark asked, looking at the two bottles of snake scale powder. Aurora nodded vigorously, "Yes!"

　Dark couldn't help but say, "Are you sure these two bottles of snake scale powder, one with fire and light attributes and the other with ice and darkness attributes, are highly conflicting? In other words, the possibility of failure is very high."

　Aurora said with a determined look in her eyes, "I know, but I really want to try. My familiar is an Ice and Fire Hound, which means that ice and fire are compatible with my attributes. If I can create a magical spirit that possesses both of these attributes, it will be of great help to me."

　Dark nodded and said, "Since you're sure, I shouldn't say any more. How about this, you mix these two bottles of snake scale powder together first, and treat them as the same material when you refine them."

　Aurora said, "Okay." Then the experiment began.

　This experiment still uses the basic transmutation method.

　However, since Aurora's goal is to obtain both ice and fire attributes, she chose the most compatible "Normal" type.

　Because it is "dog grass", it is classified as a "bird and beast species".

　Although Dak provided some guidance on the selection of auxiliary materials, Aurora basically completed the task on her own.

　For a first-year student, her knowledge is truly abundant. Her magical skills also surpass those of Dark, who is also a first-year student.

　While marveling at how the younger generation surpasses the older, Dark carefully guided them. Diana and Rose also observed and learned attentively. Once the experiment was ready, Aurora began to perform the concoction herself. Dark took out his prepared "secret medicine" containing saliva and stood by as if observing.

　Aurora's operation was already very skillful, and she made smooth progress, but she did encounter problems when smelting materials.

　Two types of snake scale powder with different properties clashed violently during the smelting process.

　However, Aurora prepared a large number of potions and materials to alleviate the conflict between ice and fire. When the conflict occurred, she tried various methods in an orderly manner to resolve it, and in the end, she actually managed to suppress the conflict reaction!

　Although much of the experimental material was lost in the process, it was a necessary loss.

　After she finished refining the [Blissful Juice (Dog)], she added the secret medicine prepared by Dak.

　Then, the experiment was completed, and the light cocoon was formed.

　A faint blush rose on Aurora's cheeks, revealing her considerable excitement.

　At this stage of the transmutation experiment, it could essentially be declared a success. However, instead of popping champagne at the finish line, she continued to wait calmly.

　Under the watchful eyes of the four humans and one god, the reaction within the cocoon of light ceased. Aurora, slightly nervous, cut it open and began to deal with the filth.

　Soon after, a magical spirit card radiating a golden halo was created!

　"It's a gold card!"

　Diana and Rose exclaimed in unison.

　The two excitedly approached to congratulate Aurora. Aurora held the Magical Spirit Card as if it were a priceless treasure.

　Only Dark, oblivious to the situation, urged, "Quickly, take a look at the information on this Magical Spirit Card."

　Having experienced "Flame Rabbit," Dark knew he could also use this magic card, but he didn't.

　Aurora, reminded by him, quickly checked. Dark waited patiently, full of anticipation.

　Quite a bit of information can already be gleaned from the card itself. First, the card's name is—"Rockdog"! (Image: Rockdog)

　As the name suggests, "Rockdog" is naturally a Rock-type Pokémon.

　This didn't align with Aurora's expectations of ice and fire types. But Dark knew very well that her idea hadn't failed; on the contrary, it had been an unprecedented success.

　Rockruff is a very special Pokémon, which normally has two different near-forms.

　This feeling is similar to that of Ibrahimovic, but also different.

　After evolving between day and night, it presents two completely different forms.

　Therefore, although it is not a dual-type of ice and fire, it is a dual-type of sun and moon!

　In addition, some special Rockruffs also have a "Dusk Mode", which is a third form that evolves at the transition between day and night.

　This third form, possessing the power of both the sun and the moon, is a Pokémon very similar to "Sun Serpent".

　Aurora herself is a gifted individual with both Sun and Moon bloodlines. In addition to being a Rock-type, Rockhound is extremely compatible with her.

　Perhaps before long, Aurora will be able to use her mental powers to evolve Rockruff.

　I just don't know what form she can evolve Rockruff into.

　After that, Aurora briefly explained the information about "Rockdog" and then used a normal summoning spell to summon "Rockdog".

　As a result, the moment "Rockhound" was summoned, it pounced into Dark's arms, just like Rose's "Scorchbearer," making Aurora frown.

　"Wang Wang!"

　As soon as "Rock Dog" snuggled into Dark's arms, it stuck out its tongue and licked his face wildly, while rubbing against him with the rock attached to its neck.

　It's like a carbon copy of Aurora Borealis!
