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

　After all, this is a killer move certified by a god, so it's okay if it has a little bug.

　Moreover, this ultimate move is only "God-Devouring Beast" which lasts for three minutes, and it has a cooldown of up to sixty minutes.

　[Image: Hard Claw]

　Its advantage over the "God-Eating Beast" lies in the fact that it is also endowed with a "Hard Claw" effect, which means that claw attacks are increased by an additional 30%.

　This means that after the "Fossil Pterosaur" enters the "Ancient Form", its three stats will become 10500/13500/13500.

　Its claw attack power has been increased to 16200. Well... that's alright!

　[Demon King Aldridge] is extremely special after all, and Dark didn't think of comparing the growth potential of "Fossil Pteranodon" with that of "Demon King Aldridge".

　The fact that it can crush the base panel is already the limit of what the "Fossil Ape-Dragon" can do.

　"Let's see what the next ultimate move is like."

　"Ancient Sword...why isn't it the Sword of the Cliff?"

　[Ancient Sword: The Aerodactyl transforms ancient power into a giant sword to attack its opponent. Aerodactyls possessing this special attack can wield the Ancient Sword with ancient power.]

　"What is this?" Dark couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

　He discovered that when he couldn't directly test his ultimate move, he really had to use his brain and imagination.

　This "Ancient Sword" should also have both passive and active effects.

　The active part, judging from the description, is almost the same as "Cliff Sword", only the method used is different.

　The ancient power used by "Fossil Aerodactyl" is consistent with its own attributes; it is a mixture of ancient powers of the Rock and Flying types.

　This is probably why it has the passive ability "Sword Control". But what exactly is the practical function of "Sword Control"?

　"It's like having an extra equipment slot, allowing you to enjoy weapon bonuses."

　Dak shook his head slightly, indicating that he did not understand.

　So he simply put it down and continued looking at the last ultimate move. The last ultimate move of the [Fossil Pteranodon (Ancient Form)] was still "Silent as an Ancient Tomb".

　"Silent as an Ancient Tomb" has a wide range of uses, and it also has a "Breaking Stealth Strike", which is not a problem.

　The four special moves of this [Fossil Pterosaur (Ancient Form)] are well-balanced in offense and defense, allowing for both mobility and attack, and there are no apparent flaws overall.

　If we had to find a flaw, it would be the lack of explosive power. But each magical spirit has its own unique characteristics, and it's impossible to expect a single magical spirit to possess all the abilities.

　Furthermore, there's an "Ancient Sword" that hasn't been fully explored. "Speaking of swords, it must be related to sword beasts, right?"

　After pondering for a while, Dark infused his magic and continued to examine the data panels of the remaining two "Sword Beasts".

　The greatest strength of this "Fossil Pterosaur" is that it's a three-person team, one against two, a perpetually righteous three against one.

　Judging from the changes in those two "sword beasts," he roughly knew that they were still only nine stars, so he didn't have high expectations at first.

　But now... we still have to watch it.

　Card Name: Fossilized Aerodactyl (Sword Beast)

　[Type: Spirit Card]

　[Level: r8aoooaool [Race: Dragon]]

　[Type: Rock/Flying] [Magic Power: 4000]

　Attack: 5000 [Defense: 6000]

　[Special Attacks: Fossil Demon, Ancient Power, Sword Beast, Destruction Beam (Ultimate Impact)]

　unexpected.

　The three stats of the [Fossil Aerodramus (Sword Beast)] have increased to some extent.

　Although it is still a nine-star creature, it has the original "Fossil Aerodactyl" attribute panel, the most outstanding of which is its defense of up to 6000 points, which makes its "Fossil Ghost" skill easier to use.

　But the most crucial thing is not here, but the "Ancient Power" that replaced "Stone Attack"!

　Of course, this "Ancient Power" cannot be the same as the "Ancient Power" of the original "Fossil Pteranodon".

　But it is still full of possibilities.

　v

　[Ancient Power: The fossil pterosaur contains a mysterious power inherited from ancient times. When encountering danger, it can release this ancient power to attack its target, with a chance to unleash its potential, increasing its magic power, attack, and defense by 50% of their base values, as well as increasing its size and speed. Chance of potential activation: 10%.]

　"The activation probability is 10%, the same as 'Primal Power,' which can be considered normal."

　Dark continued to look at the next ultimate move—"Sword Beast".

　The ultimate move "Sword Beast" underwent some subtle changes at this time.

　v

　[Sword Beast: Born with a sword, the Fossil Aerodactyl can transform into an Ancient Sword when necessary. The wielder will gain [Fossil Skin], stronger Rock-type affinity, and half the attribute bonuses of the [Fossil Aerodactyl (Sword Beast)], but will experience increased mana consumption.]

　If you read carefully, you'll find that the original description of "Sword of Rock" has been changed to "Ancient Sword".

　"So, this is the meaning of the existence of the Ancient Sword." "The fossil aerodragon can now personally ride its own sword beast." Dark couldn't help but ponder.

　The "Ancient Sword" is transformed from the "Sword Beast". Although it's impossible to add another layer of "fossil skin" to the [Fossil Aerial Dragon (Ancient Form)], the half-stat bonus is still quite considerable.

　Especially considering that the "Sword Beast's" three-dimensional attributes have been greatly increased.

　"So the question now is, can it only wield one ancient sword, or can it control two swords simultaneously, forming a three-in-one system?"

　Dark would certainly prefer dual swords and dual control, but "dual wielding" is also a talent.

　Most magical spirits can only enjoy the bonus from one weapon at a time.

　"If I had known, I should have tried it in that secluded place."

　"Now that I'm back in the dorm, there's no way I can summon it again." Dark couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

　He tapped his head and said, "Let's do it tonight, with 'Blue-Eyed Girl'."

　After recording and organizing the information, Dark suddenly realized that it was too early. Because the information on the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" was still being collected, he unexpectedly had a gap in his knowledge.

　"No, I have to make use of this afternoon."

　After pondering for a while, Dak suddenly had a bright idea: to refine another six-star "Pot Pot" or a six-star "Big Milk Pot".

　He's a decisive person; he acts on his words without hesitation.

　He had plenty of material in his dorm room, and he started preparing as soon as he made the decision.

　Therefore, his afternoon was still fulfilling.

　Relying on the roughly determined transmutation formula, he finally succeeded in transmuting one six-star "Pot Pot" and one six-star "Milk Pot" each, and also succeeded in making common-sense adjustments to the formula.

　The final six-star "Pot Pot" is exactly the same as the previous one in all other panel stats, but there is a slight change in its ultimate move.

　The original "shrinking in its shell" has turned into "breaking out of its shell"!

　[Hatch: The pot hatches, converting 50% of its base defense into base attack, thus doubling its base attack. Simultaneously, its speed is greatly increased. Duration: 30 seconds.]

　At first glance, "breaking out of the shell" seems to have a very similar effect to "power trick".

　But this is not the case.

　Under the effect of "Power Trick", the six-star "Jug" can increase its attack to 4400 points, but its defense will drop to zero, and its speed will still be very slow, basically only having the power of one punch.

　The "Shell" effect lasts for a full thirty seconds, retains a high defense of 2200 points, and increases speed to an extreme. This is equivalent to turning "Shuttle" into a superhero!

　Suddenly, the image of Master Roshi using the Kamehameha appeared in Dark's mind—making him want to teach "Potpot" how to gather energy.

　Unfortunately, Potpot couldn't learn the Hyper Beam. Dark felt a little disappointed.

　"Shrinking Pot" and "Broken Pot" each have their own characteristics. Depending on the situation, adding them to your hand might bring some unexpected trouble to your opponent.

　Then there's "Big Milk Tank".

　This newly crafted six-star "Big Milk Tank" possesses the ultimate skill "Courage"—but it still failed to craft "Herbivore".

　[Courage: Magical spirits possessing this ultimate move can hit Ghost-type opponents or those in ethereal form even with physical attacks. Furthermore, they will not be frightened by ultimate moves such as (Intimidate).]

　In the Pokémon games, "Courage" only allows Normal and Fighting-type moves to hit Ghost-type Pokémon.

　However, in reality, the reason why Normal and Fighting-type moves cannot damage Ghost-type Pokémon is naturally because they are physical attacks.

　Therefore, after being transformed into a magical spirit's ultimate move, the effect of "Courage" will also change accordingly.

　Dark had anticipated this; he was no longer the easily startled person he used to be.

　"This can be used against opponents who typically use Ghost-type decks." Dark carefully put away the two Level 6 cards, expressing great satisfaction.

　"..."

　[My throat finally stopped hurting when I woke up today, but it's still very itchy and I can't stop coughing. Damn, tonight my cough and throat don't hurt anymore, but my head is throbbing! Ugh! I want to remind everyone to take precautions, but I guess we can't avoid this wave, so try to delay or minimize contact. Also, take advantage of the Spring Festival holiday at home to spend more time with your family, especially elderly people.]

　Chapter 1031 A Companion of Justice? Darkdemon (New Year Bonus Chapter, Requesting 8.5k Monthly Tickets)

　"Today is truly a day of harvest."

　Satisfied, Dark Demon hummed a song as he entered the bathroom, ignoring the strange looks from the magical elves. Soon after, the sound of running water could be heard.

　Tonight's internal meeting of the Noble Academy will be held in the tower, in the dueling practice room on the eighth floor—a place that Dark has never been to to this day, but which students often go to.

　After all, it's soundproof and shockproof, making it a great place to test your ultimate weapon.

　The only downside is that there are too many people, which could easily lead to leaks. That's why Dark never goes.

　But tonight, the dueling practice room has been requisitioned by the Noble History Research Club. However, at this time of year, the dueling practice room is usually used for meetings, so the students are used to it.

　Dak stepped out of the bathroom, dried his hair, and changed into a relatively formal outfit.

　That's how troublesome the gatherings at the House of Lords are; no matter what the reason for the gathering, it always ends up like this.

　Dark is not an eccentric person; he will not allow himself to be an outsider in a crowd.

　Therefore, he also made sure to style his hair properly, change into a formal suit, and then go out to attend the meeting.

　He hadn't made any arrangements with Diana and the others; he simply went upstairs when the time was almost up and soon arrived at the dueling practice room on the eighth floor.

　By this time, the dueling practice room had been decorated extensively, with a red carpet extending from the doorway all the way to the stairwell.

　Upon reaching the eighth floor, the faint sound of a piano could already be heard. At the entrance to the dueling practice room stood two men in suits. Although they would undoubtedly recognize him immediately, he still took out the invitation card and went through the motions.

　Then one of the waiters pushed open the half-open door and led him inside.

　"Hello sir, welcome."

　Mr. Dimon was filled with helplessness, but he still walked into the dueling practice room with elegant steps.

　The dueling practice room occupied an entire floor and was quite spacious at the time. The nice place was decorated like a banquet hall, and the air was filled with the scent of perfume.

　Students from all grades, dressed in formal attire like high-end business professionals, chatted with each other while carrying wine glasses.

　His gaze shifted, and Dark spotted Diana, Rose, and Doron. Doron was a substitute, but substitutes are people too.

　Therefore, he was also invited to tonight's meeting.

　Excluding first grade, there were five grades in total attending the meeting, with at least four people from each grade, totaling more than twenty people.

　With the addition of members of the Society for the Study of Aristocratic History coming and going, the number of people at this meeting was quite large.

　Dark quickened his pace slightly and walked towards Diana and the other two.

　At that moment, the three people were talking with several other senior students, whose year they were from, though it was unclear.

　Before Dark had even gotten close, Diana nudged Rose in the waist and whispered something in her ear.

　Rose gracefully declined an invitation from a senior student, then beckoned Diana and Doron to head towards Dark.

　The two sides quickly met up.

　"I've been here a long time," Dark said as soon as he opened his mouth. "Not long," Rose replied with a gentle smile.

　Doron immediately complained, "I thought it would be interesting, so I came a little early. I should have come up with you."

　Darke laughed and said, "The meeting hasn't started yet, has it?"

　Doron nodded and said, "I've heard that tonight's meeting is mainly to explain the specific rules and some precautions to those who are participating in the Academy Cup for the first time. In addition, we will analyze the information of our opponents—the players from the other three academies—and try to formulate strategies. Finally, we also need to let the students from each grade who are participating in the Dungeon Confrontation get to know each other so that they can help each other out once they enter the dungeon."
