Chapter 138: Dark Demon Obtains Another Gold Card
Headmistress Arte spoke eloquently. Although she was telling the story of a hero's student days, her words were laced with threads of tragedy.
The young mages had not experienced the era of bloody wars between humans and demons. They were born at dusk, grew up at dawn, spanning an entire century, able to recall the sorrow and glory of that era only through words and accounts.
Peter Shelvich was a gentle and pure person.
In his second year, he received permission from the then-dean of the Fool's House to start a small Magical Creatures Club.
In the clubroom, he raised some magical creatures that the academy forbade students from keeping privately.
From then on, he gained the nickname "the Breeder."
…
Headmistress Arte's story stopped there.
The students who walked out of the classroom did not carry too much sadness with them; their steps were more cheerful.
After all, Headmistress Arte had not assigned any homework.
…
Around four o'clock.
Dark had already returned to his dormitory.
Even without counting homework, his schedule had been very tight lately.
The treasure map was set aside, and he couldn't squeeze out any time for gossip.
And this afternoon was the moment for the [Fruit of Lust] to bloom and bear fruit!
After storing it up on Sunday and Monday, the insect tree already held two drops, totaling 3 points of [Lust]. Adding today's drop would bring the total to 4.5 points.
He first fed the Cat Grass some catnip juice, then brought the Cow-Grass onto the balcony, opened the protective barrier of the insect tree, and let the Cow-Grass suck up the 3 points of [Lust] stored inside.
The little Cow-Grass was very well-behaved. Kept on the balcony, it could lie on a soft cotton pad and sunbathe all day.
Dark had also set up a warm little house for it on one side of the balcony, for it to sleep in at night.
After absorbing these 3 points of [Lust], the [Flower of Lust] on the Cow-Grass's head had already bloomed. It was a pink flower with a hint of green.
"Still 1 point short."
After a while, Dark used the magic-brain dropper to extract today's portion of [Lust], then separated two-thirds of a drop and fed it through the insect branch.
"Moo moo moo!"
The Cow-Grass quickly absorbed the 1 point of [Lust]. It licked the corner of its mouth, then turned to gently nibble on Dark's finger, while the [Flower of Lust] on its head finally began to bear fruit.
The enchanting petals withered and fell at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The ovary at the base of the pistil rapidly swelled, the ovule developed quickly, and finally grew into a fruit slightly larger than the [Fruit of Pride].
Pink skin, green veins, and the naturally formed sigil of Lust.
This was a [Fruit of Lust] that exuded a decadent aura!
Just like the Cat Grass, a thin stem remained on top of the Cow-Grass's head.
Dark held the [Fruit of Lust] with some excitement.
Then he began to consider another matter.
When creating the [DemiDevimon] , he had directly used the [Fruit of Pride] as the core material, but he hadn't actually made the most of it.
Because in that process, he could have first used a [Shuckle] to juice the [Fruit of Pride], maximizing its effect.
"The problem now is the lack of a control group, so I can't verify if the [Shuckle's] juicing ability works on the big apple."
"It really depends on luck."
"But this time, there aren't as many concerns."
After careful thought, Dark summoned the [Shuckle] , placed the [Fruit of Lust] into one of its holes, then patted its head and said, "I'm counting on you."
"Chomp!"
The Shuckle responded with a sound and immediately retracted into its shell, beginning to dissolve and ferment the fruit.
Since it had come to this, there was no point in worrying.
Dark waited patiently.
This wait lasted for nearly half an hour.
Half an hour later, a glass of [Fruit of Lust] juice appeared on the experiment table.
"A little demon... forget it, I won't try it this time."
"After all, I'm not some kind of demon god."
The effect of the [Fruit of Lust] juice was already obvious enough. Every drop drunk was a drop gone, so it was better not to waste it.
Dark calmed himself and immediately proceeded to the next step of the experiment.
"This time, the transmutation method is [Avian-Beast Type — Normal]."
"The core materials are the Fruit of Lust, and milk from the Cow-Grass."
"The target for creation is... Miltank!"
…
Unlike when he used the [Fruit of Pride] to create the [DemiDevimon], this experiment didn't have much prior preparation.
Even the transmutation method was chosen based on Miltank's attributes.
The goal was to guide the experimental result towards "Miltank."
But because there were no prior experiments, it couldn't be confirmed whether the basic [Avian-Beast Type — Normal] transmutation method would work.
However, the "Normal Type" transmutation method had a relatively high tolerance for error.
Through this method, there was a chance to create creatures of all other attributes.
In short, this experiment was full of uncertainty.
But it was precisely because of the uncertainty that there could be surprises.
The creation of every magical spirit card was originally full of random factors.
The so-called "transmutation methods" only served to narrow down this randomness to a certain range.
In any case, before the experiment, Dark had already mentally prepared himself for failure.
…
The entire experimental process went relatively smoothly.
After activating the No. 1 transmutation circle, Dark slowly poured in the [Fruit of Lust] juice.
The light of the No. 1 transmutation circle flickered unstably, as if it was encountering obstacles in analyzing the [Fruit of Lust].
But the ring of light eventually stabilized.
Dark then poured in the Cow-Grass's milk as an ingredient, and the light gradually brightened.
Seeing that the materials seemed insufficient, Dark simply took out another "cow"-related material he had on hand.
After stuffing the thick, long "Minotaur's hair" inside, the light of the transmutation circle suddenly erupted!
When the light subsided and wove itself into a cocoon, the experiment, unexpectedly, was a success?
…
Dark placed his hand on the cocoon of light, pouring his desire for a "Miltank" into it along with his magic.
The magic within the cocoon fluctuated continuously, and the various materials continued to fuse. It took about five minutes for it to stabilize.
Seeing that the cocoon didn't explode midway, Dark breathed a small sigh of relief, took out his mercury knife, and carefully cut the entire cocoon open.
During the process of cutting it open, a milky white light continuously overflowed from the cocoon.
When the entire cocoon was cut in half, the cocoon of light suddenly turned into a viscous milky liquid!
Dark steadied his heart, put down the mercury knife, and picked up a pair of tweezers to lift the magic card out of the milky liquid.
As the milk slid off, the magical spirit revealed on the card's surface was none other than the long-awaited Miltank!
…
Dark was overjoyed and quickly rinsed the magic card clean.
A faint golden halo emanated from the edge of the magic card.
It was actually a Gold Card!
…
