Chapter 119: The Flower of Pride Blooms Resplendently
Glimmer Potion and Andersen Potion—one targeted illusions, the other mind control. Obviously, the latter was more useful.
"Once this stuff is made into a magic card, it should be an anti-curse card specifically targeting mind-control cards like [Forbidden Love] and [Golden King's Secret Treasure]."
Dark Demon ultimately received three vials of Andersen Potion from Sister Carian.
After thanking the nun, he left the infirmary and happened to run into Virt Gold coming the other way.
Virt was naturally here to visit Robert.
When the two met, Virt seemed very awkward but still managed a stiff, "Morning."
"Morning." Dark Demon nodded and walked past him.
Dark Demon, carrying the three vials of potion, naturally couldn't just run around. He quickly returned to his dormitory and placed the potions in a test tube rack.
The three vials of golden-yellow Andersen Potion glowed faintly, attracting attention.
Dark Demon pondered for a moment, then took out the core materials obtained from the masquerade ball and placed them on the desk.
Including the Andersen Potion, there were five items in total.
① Harpy Feather
② Mermaid Scale
③ Stuffed Bear Zombie's Button
④ Angel Feather
⑤ Andersen Potion
"Besides these, there's one more material I can harvest soon!"
Dark Demon picked up Catnip Grass, placed it on his lap, and looked expectantly at the flower bud on its head, which was ready to bloom.
A month had passed since he first used the [Magic Brain Dropper]; he could finally continue to extract Sins.
"It's been a while since I last used it; I wonder if I've gotten rusty."
"Given that [Pride] and [Lust] have both exceeded 100 points."
"Perhaps it's necessary to try another method."
Dark Demon picked up the Magic Brain Dropper, sterilized it, and then set it aside to dry.
After a while, he suddenly narrowed his eyes, his mental power abruptly condensing.
In that instant, his mind completely emptied. There was nothing, nothing existed, only an extremely tiny black dot in the center.
Just by focusing his attention on this black dot, his entire consciousness rapidly converged towards that point, highly condensed.
Professor Kazel probably never would have imagined.
That Dark Demon could master [Meditation Art] in such a short time.
After entering the state of meditation, Dark Demon, following the method of manipulating emotions described in the "Magic Brain Dropper User Guide," deliberately suppressed [Lust] and released [Pride].
Then he immediately picked up the Magic Brain Dropper, pressed the tip against his temple, and with his fingers holding the dropper, gently squeezed and released.
A very thin black thread was sucked out from his brain!
It was still a drop's worth, but the proportion contained in this drop was clearly higher than before.
Dark Demon opened his eyes, having exited the state of meditation.
It wasn't until he had mastered it that he realized maintaining the state of meditation required a continuous consumption of mental power. Using this method to defend against mental intrusion required extremely high skill.
But now was not the time to research Meditation Art.
He dripped that drop of Pride into the thought vial, observed it carefully, and felt it attentively.
He had what seemed like a natural intuition for Sins.
After more than a month of observation and use, he could already grasp the "degree" of the Sins' quantity.
"This drop contains at least 1.5 points of [Pride]."
"It seems this method is indeed feasible."
"By using Meditation Art to increase the concentration and yield of emotions, [Sins] become easier to extract."
"Continuing to use this method, the amount that can be extracted in a month can be increased from 10 points to 15 points!"
This was undoubtedly a very good experimental result.
...
Next, Dark Demon used the Magic Brain Dropper again, extracting two-thirds of a drop of [Pride] from the thought vial, injecting it into the bug-tree's branch, and then brought Catnip Grass over.
"Meow meow meow!"
Catnip Grass, like a little monk who had fasted for months and finally smelled meat, pounced with a "meow."
Its two cat paws clung to the bug branch, and it began to suckle intensely!
Dark Demon watched its desperate suckling, its face becoming round.
Soon.
Catnip Grass transferred the suckled [Pride] to the flower bud on its head.
The flower bud, which had stopped growing for over half a month, finally began to grow again.
And this time, from the very beginning, the flower bloomed extravagantly!
As if feeling an itch on its head, Catnip Grass lifted a paw and scratched the flower, then abandoned the drained bug branch and climbed to Dark Demon's feet.
Dark Demon squatted down, picked it up, and carefully observed the flower's bloom.
This flower, cultivated with a full six points of [Pride], from the dark gold at its base to the fiery crimson of its petals, exuded an extreme sense of luxury and nobility.
But Dark Demon, in fact, didn't feel much corresponding light aura from it.
If not for experimental deduction, he would find it hard to imagine that the basic refinement method for [Avians - Light Attribute] was the correct production method for this core material.
"If I use this Flower of Pride for refinement, what kind of magic spirit would it most likely produce?"
Dark Demon took out his notebook, sketched the appearance of the Flower of Pride, and then listed several elements beside it.
① Cat
② Pride
③ Sun
④ Light
⑤ Plant
If he only picked the first three elements, he actually had a guess.
That would be the sun god among Digimon's Twelve Olympians—Apollomon!
Apollomon, modeled after a lion, was both a feline and a sun god, possessing almost ruthless self-esteem.
Its pre-evolution form → the Rookie-level Coronamon, was a little lion.
But if he only picked ① and ④, it would inevitably remind one of Angewomon's pre-evolution form → the Champion-level Gatomon!
"The result of the basic refinement method itself is uncertain; perhaps both of these magic spirits are possible."
"Apollomon is a God Man-type Digimon that manipulates flames. If I want to increase the probability of refining Apollomon, I might need to add some fire-attribute materials."
"And conversely, to refine a Holy-type Digimon blessed by light, I should add light-attribute materials."
Dark Demon looked at the core materials on the experiment table.
"Undoubtedly, the Angel Feather will be a core element that guides the refinement result towards Gatomon."
The Flower of Pride finally bloomed.
But Dark Demon certainly wouldn't pick it immediately.
He was more inclined to cultivate it into a fruit before using it.
"According to the current progress, I should be able to harvest the fruit around this time tomorrow. I need to make a decision before then."
One o'clock.
The House Cards vibrated simultaneously.
All teachers and students of St. Marian received a notification:
At three o'clock in the afternoon, a student-teacher meeting will be held in the first-floor hall.
The Headmistress has something to say.
