The Villain Young Master Only Wants to Live a Buddhist Life 25

As the blank Magitech Card was dyed a rich dark gold, Dark drew out another drop of "Pride" and dripped it onto the card face.

The dark gold grew even deeper.

Finally, the third drop of "Pride"!

As this drop of "Pride" bled outward, "black" gradually gained the upper hand. The so-called "dark gold" transformed into "black-gold."

Dark recorded this phenomenon and began applying the "Sealant Liquid."

The subsequent steps are omitted.

As the final Transmutation Array took effect, a brand-new, black-gold "Pride" Magitech Card was completely formed!

Dark resisted the urge to conduct experiments right there, first clearing away the traces in the laboratory before returning the key to Professor Kazel.

Only then did he hurry back to his bedroom, taking out the "Sorting Card," "Magic Phantom Beast: Eevee," "Pride 1," and this new "Pride" card.

If one added the "Happiness Card," these were all the Magitech Cards he currently possessed!

Generally speaking, experiments require a control group.

But after Dark picked up "Pride 1" and looked at it for a moment, he put it back down, preparing to experiment directly with the new "Pride."

He then made a choice between the "Sorting Card" and "Magic Phantom Beast: Eevee," picking up the "Sorting Card" first.

The "Sorting Card" was a high-level Magitech Card distributed by the academy; it was well-crafted and not easily damaged.

As a Familiar, DemiDevimon was also more durable than a Magic Spirit.

Dark took a deep breath.

"In the name of Dark Dimon, Familiar Summon!"

Dark held the "Sorting Card" between his index and middle fingers and activated the "Summoning Technique"!

As a large amount of magic power drained away, a hexagram array emerged.

DemiDevimon crawled out of the array looking pitiful; it knew tonight would be another difficult night.

Chapter 33: The Certification Trademark of the Pride Series Magitech Cards

"Magic Guidance Summon!"

Dark held the "Pride" Magitech Card between his index and middle fingers, swiped it lightly in front of him, and activated the "Summoning Technique"!

In an instant.

A beam of black-gold light shot out violently!

The thickness of this beam was something Dark had not anticipated at all.

DemiDevimon, who was cowering on the desk with its head covered, was also stunned.

However, the black light seemed to have cruise guidance, striking DemiDevimon's forehead with pinpoint accuracy!

"Ah!"

DemiDevimon let out a painful shriek instantly. It was as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer, flying backward and slamming into the wall with a "thud," sliding down like a corpse and leaving a smear on the wall.

The bedroom fell silent for a moment.

Dark's mouth twitched, but he just stared quietly at the motionless DemiDevimon.

Half a minute later, DemiDevimon secretly opened its eyes, stood up, and patted its body with its wings as if nothing had happened. It wore an arrogant expression: "What a filthy environment. Stagnant air, forgotten ashes, unpolished souls—it feels as if staying here for even a moment would cause one to contract a poverty plague. Do you know what you've done wrong? You lack the self-awareness of a servant, failing to offer your great master the most exquisite silver tableware and the most delicious fresh blood."

Dark couldn't help but retort: "What kind of vampire are you?"

DemiDevimon shook its head slightly: "Vampire? No, please do not equate such an inferior species with us. I am the great Bright Morning Star, the Son of the Morning. I shall ascend to the heavens, and exalt my throne above the stars of God. I will sit upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High. Yet, you shall be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit."

"Is the chuunibyou getting worse?"

Dark wrote in his notebook: "Confirmed: excessive Pride has a probability of damaging the brain."

He then automatically blocked out DemiDevimon's chatter and carefully examined its changes.

The most obvious was the skull pattern on its forehead, which had transformed into a strange red mark after being struck by the black light of "Pride."

It appeared to be a special emblem. In the center of the emblem was a character resembling "屮," and above the mark was a "⊙" symbol.

The Outer Circle of the emblem contained English text:

level-666

system:lucifer

code:pride

And below the mark, in the Inner Circle of the emblem, it read:

caution!purgatory level 1...

Dark thought for a moment, copied the emblem down in its entirety, and then proceeded to translate it.

Outer Circle:

Level-666

System: Lucifer

Password: Pride

Inner Circle:

Warning! Purgatory Level 1...

Although he didn't quite understand the 666 and the other two symbols, Dark roughly understood that this was likely a crest representing "Pride."

"In other words, this new 'Pride' Magitech Card has granted DemiDevimon the certification of Pride!"

"But besides that? It can't just be a watermark, right?"

Dark grabbed DemiDevimon, who was holding its head high, and made it face the wall it had shot at before to fire another "Petit Dart."

"How dare you humiliate my pride? Begone! Release my shackles!"

"Petit Dart!"

"No!"

Despite its verbal resistance, DemiDevimon's body very honestly obeyed its master's command.

Three shark-head syringes rapidly condensed beneath its wings and were violently shot toward the wall!

"Thwip! Thwip! Thwip!"

The three syringes pierced the wall simultaneously.

Beside the original three points, three deeper and larger holes were created!

"The power has increased!"

Dark felt a hint of surprise.

This new "Pride 2" card not only withstood the injection of three points of "Pride," but also gained a considerable boost.

"That's enough, let's temporarily name it 'Pride 2'!"

Familiars are different from Magic Spirits; they cannot display their data in the form of cards.

But there was no doubt that DemiDevimon's strength had improved; perhaps it was no longer a one-star piece of trash.

"Maybe I should use Eevee for the experiment first."

About thirteen minutes later, the "Pride" crest on DemiDevimon's forehead gradually faded, returning to the previous white skull.

The moment its consciousness cleared, DemiDevimon immediately flapped its wings and flew up, muttering to itself in a daze: "Eh, why is it already six o'clock? I should go to the cafeteria to get some food; I can't let my dear master go hungry..."

Dark: "..."

Eating the takeout brought by the Lick-Monster and reading books on emotional research, Dark quietly waited for the cooldown of "Pride 2" to pass.

As it turned out, this wait lasted for a full three hours!

Such a long cooldown made Dark gradually realize that this "Pride 2" might not be perfect.

"The problem should lie in the quality of the blank Magitech Card and the materials used during production; perhaps the configuration of the Transmutation Array is also slightly flawed?"

"Although this 'Pride 2' looks usable at the very least, the excessively long cooldown makes it impossible to appear a second time in the same match, or even in the same day's matches!"

"I can find a way to refine it, or I could make a few more as backups, but official matches have limits on the number of cards in a deck..."

"However, it can be seen that three points of 'Pride' should be the limit for this kind of 10-credit blank Magic Card."

After recording the experimental results, Dark picked up "Pride 2" again.

The subject of this experiment, naturally, was little Eevee.

Summoned from "Magic Phantom Beast: Eevee," Eevee-chan opened her eyes adorably and tilted her head slightly: "Bui?"

The evil Demon God Bloodline possessor, Dark Dimon, reached out his sinful hands toward the cute little Eevee without a shred of pity!

"Magic Guidance Summon!"

Swipe card → Evolve → Nothing happened. ( )

After being hit by the beam from "Pride 2," a red "Pride" crest appeared on Eevee's forehead as well.

This crest did not look out of place; instead, it made her appear even more bewitching.

The Eevee that had just been cute instantly became arrogant. She no longer gave face to Dark, who was her master. Leaving only her backside, she looked down at the night view outside the window, very serene.

Dark was not surprised and directly picked up "Magic Phantom Beast: Eevee" to check its data.

[Card Name: Magic Phantom Beast]

[Type: Spirit Card]

[Level:]

[Species: Bird-Beast Species]

[Attribute: Normal Type]

[Magic: 500]

[Attack: 700]

[Defense: 300]

[Special Move: Mimic, Baby-Doll Eyes]

"Although it didn't evolve, the stats have definitely increased. There aren't many other changes, except... it gained an extra skill!"

→[Special Move: Baby-Doll Eyes]

→[Baby-Doll Eyes: Eevee glares at the opponent with arrogant eyes, making the opponent feel frustrated and lowering their desire to attack.]

"In other words, it went from a Blue Card to a Purple Card?"

"Wait, does this mean that under the buff of Pride 2, DemiDevimon also gained an extra skill?"

Divine Skill: Ten Thousand Recommendations Return to Origin!

Dark Demon doesn't understand the darkness of the night.

Dark Demon wasn't stupid enough to stay up all night waiting for the cooldown of Pride 2 to pass.

Waking up in the early morning, the hazy light filtered through the patterns of the curtains, casting mottled spots of light.

Dark Demon cast Pride 2 on the blinking DemiDevimon.
