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

　Professor Hax's teaching (storytelling) skills are still top-notch, and his knowledge is also very broad; you can learn a lot just by listening to his lectures.

　After the class ended, Darke, Diana, and Rose went to the cafeteria together.

　As he walked, he told them about the timing of the "hidden trial" so they could prepare in advance.

　The "Hidden Trials" of St. Mary's Academy are not for everyone, nor are they suitable for everyone. However, "Divine Causes" will become the key to open the door, and "Destiny Symbols" can be used as a switch.

　Using "Destiny Symbols" effectively adds a unique attribute to the process of magical alchemy. This greatly helps reduce the randomness of basic alchemy and improve the stability of targeted alchemy.

　As for Dark himself, if he wanted to create "King of the Yellow Kingdom - Alchemist of the Golden Kingdom" through magical transmutation, he could simply switch to "Emperor's Destiny".

　Additionally, you can switch between "Emperor's Destiny" and refine "King's Proof"!

　Dark had long harbored the idea of ​​crafting the "King's Proof," but that was a long time ago.

　The "Blood Crystal Crown" he obtained after killing the "Blood Frog King" is a preliminary material for crafting the "King's Proof".

　Now that we have the "Emperor's Destiny," we can spend some time making the "King's Proof" first.

　In addition to enabling certain Pokémon to evolve, the "King's Token" also gives the Pokémon holding the token a 10% chance to inflict Flinch when it uses any attack that would not normally cause Flinch and deals damage.

　If, during the crafting process, the method of creating "Great Sin Cards" is combined with the addition of "Pride" or other "Great Sins," it might be possible to grant it some additional effects.

　With the quality of the "Blood Crystal Crown" combined with the crafting method of "Great Sin V", it is already the limit of the limit.

　The time is ripe; it's time to give it a try. At worst, it'll just be a failure.

　Dark mainly wanted to test the effects of the "Emperor's Decree". After all, it was a trial that had been hard-won, and he would feel a little restless if he didn't try it.

　After meal.

　Upon returning to his dormitory, Dak wrote down the method for making the "Destiny Talisman" in his notes, then made multiple copies and gave them to Diana and the others to study in advance.

　Only then did he begin preparing to create the "King's Proof".

　The overall concept for creating "King's Proof" had already been formed. He didn't spend too much time making a plan. After that, he prepared the materials that needed to be processed in advance, and then returned to his dormitory to start making it after his afternoon classes.

　Both the "Blood Crystal Crown" and the "King's Proof" are crown-shaped items, and their appearance does not require any polishing.

　However, its inherent attributes do not match those of the "King's Proof"; both can only be described as items that possess the power of a king.

　Dak placed it on the lab table and observed it carefully.

　The "Blood Crystal Crown" is carved from blood coral, crystal clear, and upon closer inspection, one can see red light flowing within it, exuding an extremely rich magical aura.

　For the "Blood Frogmen," the weapon is both proof of their kingship and a source of power.

　The "King of Blood Frogs" was able to gain power befitting a king by receiving the crown—that is, by evolving from a "Blood Frogman" into the "King of Blood Frogs".

　In this respect, it serves the same purpose as the "King's Token".

　However, if you want to create a relatively pure "King's Proof", you need to use the materials you have to neutralize its additional attributes.

　However, the kingly power of the "Blood Crystal Crown" is completely integrated with its bloodline energy, so it is not possible to realize it.

　Therefore, the final "King's Proof" will definitely be different from the "King's Proof" in Pokémon.

　Finally, we need to consider whether to include "arrogance" or "ecstasy" in this "King's Proof".

　The reason "Elysium" was considered is because "Blood Frog" is a demon, leaning towards the dark attribute, and when it comes to "kings who use blood energy," the vampires are naturally the ones. His only [Vampire Heiress] was created using "Elysium." However, "Bastimon," which also uses blood energy, can be evolved from "Devimon" using "Pride IV."

　Upon closer examination, it seems that "ecstasy" or "arrogance" are not necessarily related to vampires in essence.

　Whether to use "Paradise" or "Pride," or whichever leans more towards "King," is the best approach.

　Therefore, when it came to the final decision, Dark still decided to use "Arrogance". The "Blood Crystal Crown" is a ring-shaped item.

　Dark then engraved "double-layered Pride Magic Runes" on its inside and then dripped "Pride" into it one by one to try.

　He had drawn a large amount of "arrogance" as reserves in the first ten days of this month, and now it's just the right time to use it.

　The entire experimental process was not complicated; he had already mastered the standard method of converting physical props into magic cards in class.

　The only thing to be careful about is that there is only one "Blood Crystal Crown". Once you fail, you can't try again, so you must be very careful when conducting the experiment.

　As the start time approached, he took out the "Imperial Decree" and activated it. Instantly, an aura of majesty emanated from it.

　Golden runes symbolizing an "imperial destiny" appeared on his forehead, causing a slight change in his destiny.

　Such changes are actually difficult for ordinary people to perceive. But he possesses a talent for divination and is quite perceptive of changes in fate, so he could vaguely sense some variables.

　But that’s all.

　If you follow this feeling to do divination, you might be able to divine more information, but that's really unnecessary.

　After all, this change in "fate" is only temporary. Dak focused his mind slightly and began to operate.

　Then, the formal experiment began at 4 p.m. and lasted for a full four hours until 8 p.m.

　Dark finally completed the creation of this "King's Proof" without any major incidents.

　"Good luck."

　He breathed a sigh of relief and straightened up.

　The creation of the "King's Proof" this time consumed a total of 12 points of "Arrogance," which far exceeded his expectations.

　Keep in mind that crafting a "Pride III" only requires 10 points of "Pride," while this "King's Proof" consumes more than "Pride III."

　However, as the saying goes, the more you put in, the more you get out.

　The excessive consumption of "arrogance" also made Darke have even higher expectations for this "King's Proof".

　He wiped the surface of the "King's Proof" clean and examined the card carefully. The card design was almost identical to that of the "Blood Crystal Crown," except that there was an additional "Arrogance" emblem on the inside of the crown.

　The emblem exuded a powerful aura belonging to the "Great Sin Card." In addition, it possessed an extremely strong vampire aura.

　The card's name is not "Proof of the King," but rather "Proof of the True Ancestor."

　v

　Card Name: Proof of the True Ancestor [Type: Item Card]

　【Effect ①: Magic Power +1000, Pride +5, Rank +1 (cannot be stacked).】

　[Effect ②: Adds the ultimate move "True Ancestor".]

　→【True Ancestor: A vampire possessing the proof of a True Ancestor has a certain chance of activating the primordial power hidden within their bloodline, briefly evolving into a True Ancestor for three minutes.】

　【Effect 3: Grants the passive skill "King's Proof".】

　→【King's Proof: The holder of the True Ancestor's Proof has a chance to inflict a Flinchpin state on the target when using any ultimate skill to deal damage. The effect is doubled against vampires below the True Ancestor level.】

　【Effect 4: Adds the ultimate skill "Vampire Transformation".】

　→【Vampire Transformation: Those who are not certified vampires can use the (Proof of the True Ancestor) to transform into a vampire, obtaining the standard vampire template for three minutes. After three minutes, they can consume mana to maintain the transformation.】

　"Basic effects: Magic Power +1000, Pride +5, Rank +1." "Attribute bonus of up to 1000 points... It's a pity it's magic power."

　"Arrogance +5... The +3 pleasure from the 'Kaguya Orb' was already hard to resist, but this +5 arrogance will probably require even greater self-control to overcome."

　"Position +1, but cannot be stacked."

　"This means that a fourth-tier magical spirit can be transformed into a fifth-tier one." Upon seeing this, Dark couldn't help but gasp. The basic effect of this "Proof of the True Ancestor" was indeed unexpected. The mere fact that it grants a "Rank +1" is already revolutionary.

　This item card has been changed from "King's Proof" to "True Ancestor's Proof," narrowing its applicability but seemingly improving its quality.

　The so-called "True Ancestor" is the progenitor of vampires, the king of vampires. Using the crown of the "King of Blood Frogs" as the core material, the final product was the "King of the True Ancestors," which shows that "Blood Frogmen" and vampires are probably indeed closely related.

　In addition to the three basic attributes, this "Proof of the True Ancestor" also has three additional ultimate skills.

　One of them is "True Ancestor," an extremely rare ultimate technique that can transform an ordinary vampire into a True Ancestor.

　Although it only lasts for three minutes, far less than the normal fifteen minutes of evolution, its power as one of the additional skills of an item card is clearly overpowered.

　However, based solely on the literal information, it is impossible to know the extent of the power boost gained after evolving into a "True Ancestor".

　Moreover, among the Magical Spirit Cards that Dark possesses, there is only one "Vampire Heiress"!

　"I just don't know if it will work for [Ultrabat]." We'll find out after testing it out in a bit. However, Dark didn't hold out much hope for it.

　Furthermore, the description of the "True Ancestor" ability itself contains the phrase "there is a certain possibility," indicating that not all vampires can use the "Proof of the True Ancestor" to evolve into a True Ancestor, let alone the "Zubot," which is not a vampire at all.

　But if it's Victoria, it should be able to evolve, right?

　With that thought in mind, Dak continued reading.

　The second ultimate move of "Proof of the True Ancestor" is "Proof of the King". Its effect is no different from the original "Proof of the King" except that it is specifically designed to attack vampires.

　Finally, there's the "vampire transformation." This additional finishing move is really interesting!

Chapter 1260 Darkdemon and the Vampire Transformation (4k)

　Transformation-type magic cards are always precious. What's more, this "Vampire Transformation" is a semi-permanent transformation! The basic transformation lasts for three minutes, and after that, it can be maintained by consuming magic power.

　It's important to pay attention to the "transformation type" and the rate of magic consumption. After all, there are fundamental differences between different transformations.

　Dark hesitated for a moment, then got up from the lab table and went to the center of the bedroom. He then affixed the "Proof of the True Ancestor" to his body and activated his additional skill—"Vampire Transformation"!

　Effect ① of "Proof of the True Ancestor" is a basic effect, a permanent buff. However, effects ②-④ are all additional skills, and you can only choose one of them.

　After using effect ④ "Vampire Transformation", effects ② and ③ can no longer be used.

　Dark could feel his magic power increase, and his "pride" was surging wildly. But the effect of [Rank +1] was not obvious.

　He focused his mind, controlled his emotions, and initiated the transformation.

　The feeling of using "Vampire Transformation" is completely different from when I evolved into Luna. It's even different from the feeling of using "Transformation Charm".

　He carefully sensed the changes in his body, and only after the transformation was complete did he take out the "Proof of the True Ancestor" to examine it again.

　At this point, the card art of "Proof of the True Ancestor" has changed, infused with magic, and can now display detailed data on the standard appearance of a "vampire".

　Card Name: Vampire

　"Type: Spirit Card" (Level: eeccos) [Race: Undead] "Attribute: Dark" [Magic Power: m] [Attack: 3000] [Defense: 2000]

　[Ultimate Skills: Vampire Fangs, Mist Formation, Commanding Blood Beasts]

　The image that appeared on the card was identical to Dark's, but with long, pointed ears, protruding fangs, and a paler complexion.

　This vampire's attire perfectly matches the stereotypical image of vampire nobles, while his demeanor is even more aloof and indifferent to life.

　Without even looking in a mirror, Dark knew that the 'vampire' depicted on the card must be his current appearance.

　In short, the appearance is so-so; at least it looks like a vampire at first glance, which is why it's considered the "standard template".

　Looking at the vampire level after the "vampire transformation", it is six stars in the second tier.

　If evaluated based on offense and defense, a six-star level vampire is roughly equivalent to a baron among real vampires, essentially placing them at the bottom of the vampire hierarchy.

　Of course, a true vampire baron is far superior to a regular six-star in terms of magic power and survivability.

　And the feeling after "transforming into a vampire"... is the same! This can be seen from the "magic" attribute.

　"I see, it's a special move similar to Ditto's 'Transformation'."

　Ditto's "transformation" is not actually a "complete transformation." No matter what it transforms into, its magical energy level remains unchanged. The same applies to its "vampire transformation."

　If a magical spirit uses "Vampire Transformation," its magic power will ultimately be equal to the original magical spirit's magic power plus 1000 due to the base effect bonus of "Proof of the True Ancestor."

　If a mage uses "Vampire Transformation," it will naturally add 1000 to the mage's magic power.

　This means that after a mage transforms, the essence of their magic does not change, and their magic will automatically recover.

　If the rate at which this transformation consumes mana after three minutes is less than the mage's mana recovery rate, then the transformation will be permanent.

　Thinking of this, Dark suddenly had an idea, took out a practice "summoning card" from the drawer, and quickly summoned.

　Three seconds later, a huge sphere of light materialized in mid-air.

　This means that he can still use magic cards even in his "Vampire" transformation state!

　Similarly, magic can also be used.

　However, when he summoned the magic card, he felt that the surface properties of his own magic power had changed, indicating that the attributes of the magic power had changed.

　This is very similar to Diana's "fairy transformation".

　Finally, there is the ultimate move.

　After transforming into a "vampire", the user will gain three special moves, all of which are standard vampire skills.

　One of them is "vampire fangs".

　Vampire fangs: Vampires use their fangs to pierce the blood vessels of their prey, calming them down while they suck their blood, and giving them a feeling of ecstatic pleasure.
