Chapter 278 Dark Demon's Favorites Reach
Of course, ultimate was definitely not something that could be extracted easily.
Even Professor Cazer, who taught them this knowledge, could not articulate the key factors that determined the success rate of extracting an ultimate.
Dianna wanted to extract [Bond of Bears].
Rose wanted to extract [Moon Palace].
But the probability of their success was actually very low.
But after thinking carefully, Dark finally came up with some ideas.
The magical spirit in his hands was roughly divided into two systems.
The first one was derived from Digimon, and the second one was derived from Pokémon.
Digimon rarely had the same ultimates, and their ultimates could rarely be used by other Digimon.
In terms of Digimons, Dark actually had only DemiDevimon and Gatomon.
But for Pokémon, he had seven of them.
Therefore, it was a more appropriate choice to set the extraction subject of [Ultimate Card] within the Pokémon series.
And among the ultimates that Pokémon could learn, there were some skills that could almost be learned and used by all Pokemon except for a few special Pokémon!
Dark called those ultimates "Generic Skills".
Of course, his knowledge of Pokémon was actually quite limited.
At present, he could only think of two skills.
One was [Round].
And the other was [Protect].
...
These two ultimates were skills that all six Pokémon except Ditto could learn!
Among them, [Round] was a team-type attack skill.
It could attack opponents by singing!
If a companion used the [Round] skill immediately after, not only could the skill be unleashed instantly, but its power would be doubled, from the original 60 to 120!
After that, the power of [Round] used by each other companion would also be 120!
As for how powerful the power of 120 was, it was better to understand it with some simple examples: The power of a Thunderbolt was 90; the power of a Solar Beam was 120, and the power of a Hyper Beam was 150.
Moreover, [Round] could also ignore skills such as Substitute.
...
If [Round] was a sound wave skill with good universality, then another skill - [Protect] was a genuine magical skill!
[Protect] could completely resist the opponent's attack!
It was basically flawless except that continuous use would reduce the success rate to about 33% of the previous success rate.
Of course, the above information was derived from the Pokémon game description.
In a real situation, [Protect] was very likely to have an upper limit.
But as a highly universal defensive skill, it was already powerful enough.
...
"To obtain [Round], choosing Popplio and Sylveon with the same ultimate [Disarming Voice] as the extraction subjects should have a higher success rate."
"And choosing normal-attributed Eevee and Miltank as the extraction subjects, on the other hand, should have a higher success rate of obtaining [Protect]."
"But the question now is, how can I extract the skills they haven't learned from them?" Dark couldn't help pondering.
According to the teachings of Professor Cazer, there was a high probability that [Ultimate Card] would extract an ultimate that had been mastered by the magical spirit. And even if this was the goal, some core materials that matched it were needed as a guide and carrier.
But if the goal was to extract an ultimate that hadn't been mastered by the magical spirit, it would be like building a building directly in the air, which was a very stupid thing to do.
"It's still not a good idea to be overly ambitious." The more Dark thought about it, the more he felt like he shouldn't rush it.
It seemed like some time ago, someone had already shown him the downside of being overly ambitious, but who it was, he couldn't remember anymore.
"So, it's better to lay the foundation first."
"After the foundation is laid, I can study it in depth."
"Also, it is not necessary to choose the ultimate with the premise that it needs to be suitable for a duel."
"Whether they are practical in battle or in life, they are all good."
"There are some ultimates that are also very useful if I can use them to refresh the CD."
......
8:30 in the evening.
Dark returned to the dormitory.
When he came back to pick up his homework in the afternoon, he had already released his magical spirits.
Because there was a duel today and it was the weekend, he gave the magical spirits a holiday and didn't assign a study mission.
So as soon as he entered the door, he noticed that the magical spirits were lying all over the place on the floor.
Seeing this, he just smiled faintly, and then put down his schoolbag and sat down in front of the desk.
Then he took out the pen and paper and wrote down all the ultimates of the magical spirits he had at this moment.
Since the crafting of [Ultimate Card] required extracting information from the magical spirit card, those magical spirits that required [deadly sin] series magic cards to evolve couldn't be the extraction subjects of "ultimate".
In fact, not even [Curse Cage: DemiDevimon]!
Also, passive skills couldn't be extracted.
Therefore, there were not that many ultimates to choose from at present.
①Strengthened Gastric Acid
②Feather Dance
③Copycat
④Cat Punch
⑤Cat's Eye Hypnotism
⑥Transform
⑦Disarming Voice
⑧Moonblast
⑨Power Split
⑩Guard Split
⑪Power Trick
⑫Milk Drink
⑬Defense Curl
⑭Rollout
...
When all these possibilities were listed, Dark's eyes lit up, feeling that everything had become clear!
Among the fourteen ultimates, [Transform] combined with Ditto's original [Imposter] feature could be considered terrifying!
[Imposter: Magic energy is not consumed when using Transform. ]
Just thinking that if he had enough [Ultimate: Transform], he could achieve a CD-free Transform… Dark couldn't help shuddering!
...
Until this time, Dark really realized the value of [Ultimate Card]'s existence!
"Professor Cazer really deserves to be called the only alchemy master left from the old era!"
"Even if he changed his careers in the middle, he could still build such achievements in the field of magic."
"If this [Ultimate Card] is further improved, it may become a technology that can change the times!"
Dark couldn't help but feel more and more respect for this always approachable goblin half-blood.
...
After choosing the ultimate [Transform], Dark almost immediately thought of a material that could match it.
There was no doubt that the hair of Phantom Magic Beast was the most suitable core material for crafting [Ultimate: Transform]!
The only problem was that the hair of the Phantom Magic Beast was very precious and rare. Even in Traveller Street, it was also hard to find one.
To get the Phantom Magic Beast's hair, Dark probably needed to ask Professor Cazer for help.
"If the professor still has it and is willing to sell it… This card can becrafted!"
...
In addition to [Transform], Dark also selected another skill that was slightly inferior to [Transform], but equally extraordinary - [Milk Drink]!
As for how useful Miltank's [Milk Drink] was, there was no need to go into details at all.
More importantly, the core materials needed to guide and carry this ultimate were also traceable!
This was completely different from [Power Split], [Power Trick], and [Guard Split] Ultimate. Although they were also magical skills, Dark couldn't figure out what their core materials were at all!
Thinking like this, Dark couldn't help but turn his attention to the cow grass that Miltank was playing with...
After the juice of cow grass was freshly squeezed by [Shuckle], it would become the perfect material for crafting [Ultimate: Milk Drink]!
...
"For the time being, I'll just choose these two ultimates, since I know where to get the core materials for those two ultimates."
Seeing Dark waving at it, the cow grass moved over while mooing.
Dark picked it up and put it on his lap. He couldn't help smiling while playing with its round horns.
If one day, Miltank learned how to use magic energy by itself and mastered Normal Summoning Spell, and he successfully mastered the exact method of crafting [Ultimate: Milk Drink], then he could make Miltank carry a small school bag and put a large amount of [Ultimate: Milk Drink] into it!
At that time, Miltank would have inexhaustible magic energy; it would not be a problem for it to stroll around the whole castle!
And the magical spirits who wanted to go out for an outing with Mama Miltank would need to ask Mama Miltank for milk bottles repeatedly.
"Woo hee hee~" Dark narrowed his eyes and let out a strange laugh.
It made cow grass suspicious for a while.
...
With a clear goal, Dark felt like everything would proceed smoothly.
He then practiced [Spiritual Concentration Art] for half an hour before going to bed.
When he woke up the next day, he felt very energetic!
After the morning exercise and a hot shower, Dark sat down at the desk to read today's "Daily Sage" while eating the breakfast brought by DemiDevimon.
Although "Daily Sage" had all kinds of problems, it could always keep abreast of current events, which was a major reason why Dark had not given up on it so far.
For example, in today's "Daily Sage", the headline turned out to be a picture of him holding [Fusion] high on the player's platform!
There were no cameras in this world, but there was no lack of ways of taking pictures.
And there were also special techniques for creating dynamic pictures.
Dark in the picture even glanced back at him, and then the corner of his mouth curled up into a sneer!
Dark felt a chill.
He then read the article below and found that this was a brief report about the new first-year duelers at Saint Marian Academy.
For a newspaper report to be able to publicly reveal personal information like this, every law enforcement officer must take some responsibility.
Dark couldn't help frowning.
The report compiled information on seven individuals.
Among them, he was the first, and his identities as "Son of Valkyrie" and "Crimson Star Winner" were highlighted.
Next was White, "Son of the Brave One", and "Lost but Glorious".
Then there was Sara, "Daughter of the Ancients"...
"So Sara Swati is the daughter of Sage of Ancients?" Dark couldn't help but feel extremely surprised when he saw this.
Not everyone would talk about their origins.
He didn't know Sara's background until he read this newspaper.
"It's no wonder that she has such a large knowledge base that even the Arcana Force Card can be crafted."
After being amazed, Dark continued to read the report.
The fourth was Dianna, labeled "the Bear of the Kingdom", and "Beloved Daughter".
The fifth was Doron, labeled "Doron Family".
The sixth was Justin with the label "Order of the Griffin"!
"Order of the Griffin..." Dark suddenly thought of something.
Among the five orders in the kingdom, the Order of the Griffin was one of them. Dark didn't expect Justin Wayne to have such a background.
But after he took a closer look, he found that this "background" was a bit stretched.
Justin Wayne was indeed related to the Order of the Griffin, but that was only because his father was one of the squad leaders, and that was all.
The last one that was reported was, of course, Emma.
In order to attract attention, the newspapers really linked her to the "Sage of Mysteries".
It made Dark wonder what would happen if Sage of Mysteries saw the report.
"Emmm..."
"Based on some cliché novel routines, the Sage of Mysteries might be an old man with a youthful, handsome face, and after seeing this newspaper by chance, not only would he not get angry, but he would also take her in as his disciple..."
...
After breakfast, Dark packed his things, put on his school bag, and went out of his dormitory.
Dark knew where Professor Cazer's dormitory was since visiting him once at Christmas.
With the key card left by Claire, he made his way unimpeded, and soon came to the door of Professor Cazer's dormitory.
But when he was about to raise his hand and knock on the door, he suddenly frowned, wondering if he was being too casual.
The visit at Christmas was fine. After all, he came with gifts. But this time, he didn't even bring a fruit basket ......
"How can I forget this?!" Dark tapped his forehead and had a moment of introspection.
But he knocked on Professor Cazer's dorm door anyway. "Knock, knock, knock."
"Who is it? Mhm, let me guess. Who will come to visit me, a lonely, stinky goblin at this time..."
"???" Hearing the voice from behind the door, Dark was confused, even his hand knocking on the door couldn't help but freeze.
"Professor?" He asked suspiciously.
But Professor Cazer was still murmuring to himself: "It can't be little Lily, right? But who else can it be but little Lily? Could it be little Nini? Sigh, no, maybe Hex. Could it be that he needs some help with his prosthetic? Sigh..."
Although the voice was very slight through the door, Dark could still hear it clearly.
The person who was murmuring behind the door was Professor Cazer, who always looked very cheerful.
Dark took a deep breath, thinking he might have come at the wrong time. "Maybe I should come back another day. Anyway, there is [Milk Drink] this alternative. In tomorrow's Magic Theory Class, I'll try to make [Ultimate: Milk Drink] first!"
...
"Click!" While Dark was thinking, the dormitory door in front of him suddenly opened. Then Professor Cazer wearing a dark blue nightgown and nightcap covered with stars appeared in front of him.
The goblin half-blood with wrinkled skin on his face looked up at Dark with his head tilted, but his eyes were not as blank as Dark thought they would be.
"It turned out to be little Demon! It's so cold this morning, why are you here?"
Although it didn't seem obvious on the surface, Professor Cazer's performance was obviously different from usual.
Dark took a quick peek inside the dormitory.
Due to the constriction of the entrance, Dark's vision was limited, but he could still see the neatness of the furnishings inside.
Although Professor Cazer was single, he was a good organizer of household chores.
It didn't look like he was drunk.
"I know what you are thinking, but I'm more awake than ever." Professor Cazer said lightly as if he had caught Dark's thoughts.
Dark could only say: "Professor, I have something I want to ask you."
Professor Cazer: "Then come in first. It's rare for someone to come to visit me, so I can't just let you stand outside on such a cold morning ."
Dark almost blurted out saying that he clearly had no problems doing that at Christmas Day!
But considering that Professor Cazer didn't look right today, he held back a little.
Sure enough, as soon as Dark followed Professor Cazer into the room, he saw a familiar bottle on the table inside at a glance - a bottle of fairy wine!
A large bottle of fairy wine now only had a little left.
Dark still remembered that he once passed out after only two sips of such wine, but he never thought that Professor Cazer could drink a whole bottle and still remain "sober"!
His alcohol tolerance is so scary! Moreover, who would drink early in the morning?
Dark looked left and right, and found a book on the bedside table. It was "Old Knight On The Frontier", and the bookmark was clipped between the pages near the end of the book.
It appeared that Professor Cazer liked his Christmas present a lot.
However, it was not advisable to stay here for long.
It was said that some people may not look obvious when they are drunk.
So Dark simply got straight to the point: "Professor, where can I find Phantom Magic Beast's hair?"
"Want Phantom Magic Beast's hair? It's easy." Professor Cazer casually pointed to the closet and shot out a beam of magic energy from his fingertip. A magic circle appeared suddenly in front of the closet, and then a smaller door slowly emerged in what should have been the location of the closet door.
The magic door that opened automatically had a magic space that was completely different from the closet.
The interior of the magic space was divided by numerous grids.
Placed in the grid were various materials that had been reduced in size.
Among them, the label of a package of materials was written: "Phantom Magic Beast's hair!"
Dark's eyes lit up and asked, "Do you sell this, professor?"
Professor Cazer smiled teasingly: "A thousand credits for every strand, and each strand is only 8 to 10 centimeters."
Dark's eyelids twitched. Is Phantom Magic Beast's hair this expensive?
But when the students first crafted Phantom Magic Beast, they obviously obtained two packs of this material for free.
And if they failed to craftone later, they could even buy a whole pack of crafting materials for just 100 credits. Of course, it would be one strand per pack.
It turned out that at that time, everyone had already made such a big bargain!
Dark calculated his credits, and found that he seemed to have a lot of credits at first glance, but once they were used, it was nowhere near enough at all.
He took a deep breath and asked, "Is there a discount for buying three? For example, a 90% discount?"
Professor Cazer chuckled; "Little Demon, if you want to get something, you have to pay for it. No one will help you for free. You can go ask little Nini how hard it is to get a Phantom Magic Beast's hair."
"Okay, I'm just checking." Dark paid the credits, and quickly got out of Professor Cazer's dorm.
He felt that the professor became too dangerous after drinking.Please vote for this novel at
