Chapter 17: Dark Demon Is About to Embark on a Path of Greatness
"It seems [Arrogance I] didn't imbue it with excessive power."
Dark carefully observed the DemiDevimon is behavior.
Its own will was still present, but its personality had changed based on the influence of [Arrogance I].
It seemed eager to break the bird chain, feeling it was a form of "insult."
However, its strength was not enough to support it in breaking free from the chain.
"Speaking of strength…"
Dark immediately thought of the DemiDevimon is ultimate skill, [Small Dart].
As a familiar, it originally did not possess the ability to release ultimate skills.
But now it had changed so drastically, perhaps it could!
So Dark wrote a few words in his notebook and looked up, "DemiDevimon, use [Small Dart] against the wall."
The DemiDevimon, however, folded its wings, lifted its head forcefully, and said arrogantly, "Unlock!"
"Heh."
Dark couldn't help but chuckle.
But a familiar was ultimately a familiar, and it could not truly disobey its master's will.
To better observe the DemiDevimon is skill release, Dark unlocked the clasp on its ankle.
Having gained freedom, the DemiDevimon immediately fluttered around the room twice. Then, it vigorously flapped its wings and shouted, "Small Dart!"
Small Dart
In an instant, three shark-headed syringes appeared from under its wings, shooting towards the wall!
"Puff puff puff!"
The three syringes simultaneously pierced the wall, forming a perfect triangle!
But after a short while, these three syringes turned into specks of light and disappeared, leaving only three holes in the wall.
Dark immediately wrote in his notebook:
"Skill release successful, proving the experimental subject is no longer a familiar."
…
At 3:43 PM.
The dark gold color in the DemiDevimon is eyes gradually faded, returning to the normal pale yellow state.
Immediately after.
It suddenly blinked, stretched out its wings, and with its head held high, fell backward onto the table with a "thud," its claws stiff and straight, looking just like a dead sparrow.
"The duration of the Arrogance state is about 13 minutes, three to five times stronger than the effect of ordinary emotion cards."
Dark wrote this line in his notebook before looking up at the DemiDevimon, saying helplessly, "Stop playing dead."
The DemiDevimon remained motionless.
Dark then reached out and scratched it under the chin.
The DemiDevimon immediately giggled and curled up into a ball.
Then it suddenly twitched, stiffly raised its head, and looked at Dark with pleading eyes.
"You weren't making that face when you pointed at my nose and called me a servant just now."
Dark said deliberately with a straight face.
The DemiDevimon, however, rolled its eyes and immediately sensed that its master was not angry. It quickly flattered, "Maste~r~~"
Dark felt a chill run down his spine.
But he quickly wrote in his notebook, "The change in life form has not reversed."
…
Although the mysteries within were not fully explored, the DemiDevimon, after being baptized by [Arrogance], had indeed transformed from a familiar into a life form very close to a Digimon.
Dark tentatively concluded that this change should be irreversible.
It was akin to a magic master awakening their talent and possessing magic power, becoming extraordinary from then on.
And after its "awakening," the DemiDevimon became even more garrulous!
The originally silent DemiDevimon, although occasionally mischievous, was well-liked for its good habit of being the ultimate bootlicker.
But what if it could speak?
And constantly be sarcastic and disgusting all day long?
This was truly a point that needed attention.
Dark didn't want to miss out on Saint Marian's unique takeout again.
Perhaps, giving it a muzzle would be a good idea?
Under the gaze of its master's strange eyes, the DemiDevimon quickly stood up, obediently folding its wings behind its back, like a scolded primary school student.
Dark shook his head, deciding to continue his research first, "Right, you're not allowed to speak in front of outsiders!"
…
Now, using the Magic Brain Dropper, the [Arrogance] index had been reduced from 112 to 111.
But it was still far from enough.
However, the use of the Magic Brain Dropper was very dangerous and required caution.
Dark did not immediately start using it a second time.
The Guide to Using the Magic Brain Dropper clearly stated: "If you don't want to suddenly become an idiot, remember not to extract thought substances more than once a month!"
It collectively referred to memory, emotions, knowledge, thoughts, and other substances as "thought substances" and advised moderation.
But after reading the entire book, Dark knew that magic masters who studied this path usually extracted two to three times a month.
Because experiments were always accompanied by failures, and to break through, one had to take risks.
As the number of times thought substances were extracted within a month increased, the risk factor also showed a trend of increasing with each extraction. After three times, the risk factor was close to 60%, exceeding half.
Hence, there was also the saying "no more than three."
Of course, the magic masters in the book dared to extract two to three times a month because their skills were superb.
Even so, continuously extracting like this for several months could easily cause "intermittent amnesia."
Dark was self-aware and knew that even a normal extraction of thought substances was extremely dangerous for his current self. That was why he chose the "Dragonfly Skimming Water Method."
The "Dragonfly Skimming Water Method" could only extract thought substances that overflowed from the brain, and the risk factor was extremely low.
But even so, it could not be used recklessly.
According to the Guide to Using the Magic Brain Dropper's recommendations, it was best to use it once every 24 hours, and after using it consecutively for more than 10 times, it was best to wait a month before using it again.
To give the brain time to fully recover!
The brain was the most complex system in the human body, and no amount of caution was excessive.
And there was no need to rush.
According to Dark is understanding of the "Dragonfly Skimming Water Method," this method should only be used to extract the part of the seven deadly sins index that exceeded 100.
Therefore, currently, only [Arrogance] could be extracted.
Next, he planned to go to the library to find and study materials related to emotion-based magic cards, striving to further improve [Arrogance I], or focus on developing [Arrogance II].
…
At 4:30 PM, Dark had already appeared in the library.
Pandora, the library senior, seemed to be on vacation and was surprisingly absent today.
This was great!
Dark completed the registration under Mrs. Bella's kind gaze and entered the library with a relaxed mood.
The creation of [Arrogance I] was originally in his plan, but it was just one of many routes.
He was very clear that if he only focused on suppression and couldn't transform the seven deadly sins into power he could use, then the road ahead would only be a desperate chase, and he would eventually be forced into a dead end!
Foolish people only evaded.
Smart people would guide.
Today, he confirmed that the route of making magic cards from overflowing seven deadly sins was an opening!
As for to what extent the seven deadly sins series of magic cards could be developed, and what kind of core power they could exhibit?
Everything was still unknown.
…
The swaying lamplight gently caressed the library desks.
Dark Demon is silhouette appeared increasingly noble.
