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

　Then, in another half hour, a semi-finished magic card was completed.

　After drawing and activating Transmutation Array 1, you can start putting materials into the transmutation array!

　Dark had always felt that the greatest pleasure in the transmutation experiments of magical spirits was placing materials into the transmutation circle.

　Just like cooking, different ingredients and seasonings can create different flavors.

　The process of cutting open the cocoon is like drawing a lottery ticket.

　Even the strangest materials can be used to create powerful magical spirits, which keeps people entertained.

　This time, in addition to the Grass-type materials he obtained from the dungeon, he also remembered to add his usual catalyst—saliva.

　.

　In the end, he deliberately rebound the missing page of "Blood Sacrifice" and put it together into the alchemy array.

　However, even after placing so many materials, the brightness of the transmutation array has not yet reached its limit.

　So he kept releasing it, and kept releasing it...

　【2-in-1】

Chapter 374 Darkdemon's Spellbook (2/233)

　Ultimately, they are all materials that are not very useful, so of course we should put in as much as we can.

　As Dak left it there, he couldn't help but recall the situation when he had refined the "pot" last year.

　He couldn't help but smile, then flicked in some powder made from ground vine monsters. In that instant, the No. 1 transmutation array shone brightly, and the reaction became noticeably more intense.

　"Is that enough?"

　A thought struck Dak, and he immediately focused his mind and used his magic to adjust.

　Moments later, all the materials were absorbed into the light array.

　The No. 1 transmutation array also rapidly contracted.

　However, the materials this time were obviously too mixed, and even after the alchemy array began to shrink, it took a lot of time to continue smelting.

　Then a large amount of impurities were sprayed out.

　Those solid-liquid

　The mixture of impurities was black and foul-smelling, causing the magical elves to whimper.

　Sylveon glanced disdainfully at the lab table, then used a ribbon to open the window for quick ventilation.

　Several minutes later, the magic card finally formed a cocoon of light as expected.

　Dak quietly wiped away his sweat, lowered his hand from his nose, and prepared to draw the lottery!

　……

　Dark's ideal magical Pokémon is Bulbasaur, one of the starter Pokémon from the original series, since it evokes childhood memories and carries a sentimental appeal.

　But magical alchemy is never something you can just produce whenever you want.

　He held his breath, pulled a mercury knife from the shelf, and cut open the cocoon of light. Immediately, a pool of even more foul-smelling black water flowed out.

　"What exactly did they refine?"

　Dark quickly covered his nose again, and with only one hand, he used tweezers to carefully remove the magic card from the black water and rinse it under the tap.

　As the stains on the surface of the magic card were gradually washed away, a sliver of light emerged.

　That was a rare purple light among the magical spirit cards that Dark had crafted!

　White, blue, purple, orange, gold.

　This purple color is of average quality, falling between the five colors.

　But in reality, Dark was already very satisfied.

　"I can make a purple card with just these materials. It seems I'm quite lucky when it comes to magical crafting."

　Overjoyed, Dark couldn't wait to move the water-drip-covered magic card in front of him.

　"This is?"

　Upon seeing the card's design, Dark frowned deeply.

　The image displayed on the card was not any of the magical spirits he had guessed.

　"Lately, I feel like there are many things I can't control."

　Dark couldn't help but rub his temples, letting his brows gradually relax.

　He then put the magic card down and quickly cleaned up the filthy mess on the table.

　First, tidy up your desktop, then check the magic cards.

　Not urgent.

　……

　A few minutes later, he picked up the unexpected magic card again.

　But what was displayed on the card was a magic book that looked quite similar to the emblem of the Magic Academy!

　He originally intended to use the skin of the Lolo Tree Frog to create a frog-like magical spirit.

　But what ultimately became the "core" seems to be the book itself, Blood Sacrifice?

　Although he couldn't understand the underlying principles at all, he was already lucky enough to have succeeded in refining it in the summer.

　What exactly is the purpose of this magical spirit that looks like a magic book?

　Dark first thought of the "single sword sheath," which is also an "item," and then he thought of "Thorome" from Pokémon.

　This made me even more excited about the magical sprite that resembled a magic book.

　"Finally, I can study it properly."

　Dark transferred his magic into the magic card and quickly received feedback.

　……

　Card Name: Spellbook

　[Type: Spirit Card]

　【grade:】

　[Race: Fairy]

　[Attribute: Fairy]

　【Magic Power: 1000】

　[Attack: 0]

　[Defense: 0]

　【Ultimate Skills: Automatic Book Writing, Automatic Summoning】

　……

　"A two-star magical spirit named 'Magic Secretary'?"

　"This should be my second two-star magical spirit, which can make up for the lack of two-star sacrifices."

　"Magic power of 1000 is a top-tier value for a two-star character."

　"With zero in both offense and defense, it means that it is not good at direct combat."

　"However, such a magic book cannot be used in direct combat; it must be of the support type."

　"Let me see its two ultimate moves..."

　The most important elements of a Magical Spirit Card are its star rating and its special move.

　Ultimate skills are key to whether a Magic Spirit Card is useful.

　Star rating is the key to whether a special skill will take effect.

　Dark first looked at this first ultimate move—"Automatic Book Full Text Free Reading is available in the book!"

　"The name of this ultimate move always reminds me of a magic library with 103,000 spellbooks... I wonder if it has an automatic spellcasting function?"

　[Automatic book recorder: Capable of automatically recording text, images, and other information.]

　"That's it?"

　"Isn't this just like having an extra notebook for automatic copying?"

　After figuring out the function of "Automatic Notes", Dak's face darkened.

　But just three seconds later, he had a change of heart and suddenly chuckled: "Being able to automatically record text and images doesn't seem so bad, does it?"

　This ultimate technique is actually extremely powerful against a normal mage with average magical talent.

　rib.

　But for Dark, whose mana recovery rate alone is enough to offset the mana consumption of the magical spirit, it is equivalent to having an automatic recorder!

　Even more remarkably, he can use the "Great Sin Card" to awaken its intelligence.

　Once the intelligence level of this "magical book" is raised to a level close to that of a human, it will be far more than just an automatic recording machine; it will be at least an automatic word generator!

　Automatic typewriter, it's something to be envied to death!

　This is equivalent to the evolution from paper notebooks to computers!

　Thinking about this, Dak felt a sense of having struck gold.

　"No rush, we have one more killer move!"

　Suppressing the urge to immediately use the "Great Sin Card," Dark looked at the second ultimate move—"Auto Summon"!

　The name of this ultimate skill, "Auto Summon," immediately evokes unrealistic associations.

　But with the "automatic bookkeeping" as a prerequisite, Dak was much more at ease. Therefore, he did not feel disappointed after figuring it out.

　Rather, I was even a little secretly pleased.

　[Auto Summon: Select a summoning spell to record. This spell can be used to summon in place of the Archmage. The recording target is limited to the Archmage himself.]

　"Record summoning spells, auto-summon... This is fantastic! Once I record the normal summoning spells, I'll never have to spend almost half an hour summoning 'Leomon' again."

　Dark thought of the convenience in daily life first, and only then did he start thinking about the duel.

　He immediately discovered that this "automatic summoning" ultimate move was quite useful in duels.

　According to the information, the summoning spells recorded in this "Magic Book" must be mastered by the magician himself.

　Although each summon consumes 100 mana, the summoning speed and cooldown remain consistent with the recording target—the archmage himself.

　If the recorded spell is "Normal Summoning", it means that the speed of Normal Summoning is directly doubled, and you can even consider using Normal Summoning to summon a four-star Magical Spirit!

　If the record says "Sacrifice Summoning Spell", it means that the task of "Sacrifice Summoning" can be entrusted to the "Magic Book", or that two high-star magic spirits can be sacrificed and summoned at the same time if there are enough sacrifices.

　In addition, regardless of the type of summoning spell, it can free up more decision-making time for the mage.

　Making good use of "Magic Book" will definitely greatly enhance combat power.

　"But the current problem is, can a 'Magic Secretary' with zero offense and defense survive in the dueling arena for an extended period?"

　"How long is the cooldown for switching summoning spells in the 'Auto Summon' feature?"

　"Let's summon it and take a look!"

　With that thought in mind, Dark immediately used a normal summoning spell to summon "Magical Book".

　The "Magic Book" materialized in Summoning Light is about the size of a 4K sheet of paper and more than 30 centimeters thick, completely different from "Blood Sacrifice," which is the core material.

　But when Dak held it in his hand, he didn't feel any weight at all.

　Just like its race—the fairy race—this "magic book" is a fairy of magic books. It appears calm and solid on the surface, but is actually illusory and ethereal.

　With a little force, the fingers pierced through the book.

　It is evident that it also shifts between the real and the virtual.

　This structure, like a ghost, naturally possesses extremely high physical immunity.
