Chapter 14

When the No. 7 Alchemy Array Circuit appears clearly on the back of the magic card, the alchemy of this magic card is considered complete!

Next, it is the acceptance stage.

Even if the standard magic card is made according to the established procedures, it will have different effects due to various factors.

What's more, the magic card in front of him is made by Dark.

He needs to conduct a small experiment.

And the subject of the experiment naturally cannot be himself.

Dark's eyes turned, and then he looked at Impmon standing on the bird stand on the ceiling, imitating an owl.

Then he showed a kind smile.

…

Although the familiar can only be regarded as a pseudo-life form, it is at least a species with an intelligence level of 2.5, emotions, and autonomous consciousness.

In this case, it will be affected by the emotional series magic card.

Dark waved to Impmon.

Impmon tilted his head and spread his wings to fly down.

Dark took the magic card of "Arrogance" to the desk on the other side, and then pulled out a bird chain from the desk, opened the ring, and buckled the anklet of Impmon's left foot.

The window of the room has been closed, and the curtains have been drawn tightly.

—— It has formed a perfect secret room.

Impmon couldn't help showing a "grievance" expression after the anklet was put on (,,??.??,,).

Dark observed for a while and wrote down the time in his notebook.

"3:29 pm, wait another minute."

It was exactly half past three.

"My turn, magic summon!"

Dark pinched the magic card of "Arrogance" with his index finger and middle finger, and activated the "summoning technique"!

In an instant...

The magic card is activated!

A layer of black light appeared on the card surface, and a dark golden light ball with a long tail suddenly flew out of the magic card, staggering into Impmon's head.

At that moment, Dark and Impmon narrowed their eyes at the same time.

Time seemed to stand still, and the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Impmon opened his eyes first, and a dark golden light burst out from the gap between his eyes.

The corners of his mouth turned up, his eyes were sharp, his chin was slightly raised, and he said: "I, Impmon, will stand above the sky!"

?(??ˊ?ˋ)?;

…

Dark was stunned at first, and then he was ecstatic!

Whether Impmon became arrogant due to the influence of the "Pride" magic card, it was no longer so important.

The most important thing at the moment was that it could speak human language!

As we all know, Digimon can speak human language.

But the mechanism of the birth of a familiar is different from that of a Digimon.

At least this Impmon, originally, could not speak, and its intelligence level was slightly lower than that of an ordinary beast.

And now, it has absorbed the energy of "Pride" and speaks fluently!

"Does this mean that its life form has changed and is closer to a Digimon?"

"Professor Sylph said that the birth of a familiar is closely related to the magician's magic power, knowledge, personality and other factors."

"Perhaps, the familiar I summoned is not the same life form as Impmon in this world."

"Merlin, the greatest magician in history, once said that different cognitions determine different magicians!"

"In addition..."

Dark looked at the "Pride" magic card in his hand.

There were already fine cracks on the card!

Magic cards of the emotion series can be reused.

It seems that this magic card has transcended the scope of "emotion" and is disposable.

Dark thought of a word - "demonization"!

The so-called "magic beasts" in this world are all wild beasts that have lost their minds after being "demonized"!

Impmon's current state should be closer to "demonization" and "arrogance".

He thought about it and recorded this magic card as "Pride I".

Then he wrote down the corresponding effects in his notebook.

Next, he planned to further observe how long it would take for Impmon, who had been "arrogant", to recover.

Chapter 17 Darkdemon is about to embark on a noble path

"It seems that "Arrogance I" did not give it too much power."

Dark carefully observed Impmon's behavior.

Its will was still there, but its personality changed due to the influence of "Arrogance I".

It seemed to want to break the bird chain, thinking it was an "insult".

But its strength was not enough to support it to break free from the bird chain.

"Speaking of power..."

Dark immediately thought of Impmon's ultimate move "Small Dart".

As a familiar, it did not originally have the ability to release ultimate moves.

But now it has changed so much that it might be able to do it!

So Dark wrote a few words on his notebook and looked up and said, "Imperial Beast, use "Small Dart" against the wall."

Imperial Beast folded its wings, raised its head, and said arrogantly, "Unlock!"

"Heh."

Dark was immediately happy.

But a familiar is still a familiar, and it is impossible for it to truly defy the will of its master.

In order to better observe Impmon's skill release, Dark unfastened the lock on its ankle.

Impmon gained freedom and immediately fluttered around the room twice, then it flapped its wings fiercely and shouted: "Small darts!"

In an instant, three shark-headed syringes emerged from under its wings and shot at the wall!

"Puff puff puff!"

Three syringes pierced the wall at the same time, forming a perfect triangle!

But after a while, the three syringes turned into light spots and disappeared, leaving only three holes on the wall.

Dark immediately wrote in his notebook: "The skill was successfully released, proving that the experimental subject is no longer a familiar."

…

Three forty-three.

The dark gold in Impmon's eyes gradually faded and turned back to the normal light yellow.

Then…

It suddenly blinked, stretched out its wings, tilted its head back, and fell backwards on the table with a "click", and straightened its claws, just like a dead sparrow.

"The duration of the arrogant state is about 13 minutes, which is three to five times stronger than the effect of ordinary emotion cards."

Dark wrote this line in his notebook, and then looked up at Impmon, helplessly saying: "Don't play dead." Impmon still didn't move.

Dark reached out and scratched its chin.

Impmon immediately "chuckled" and shrank into a ball.

Then it twitched suddenly, raised its head stiffly, and looked at Dark with pleading eyes.

"You didn't have this expression when you pointed at my nose and called me a servant just now." Dark said with a deliberately stern face.

Impmon's eyes turned, and he immediately tasted that his master was not angry, and quickly flattered: "Master... Master--"

Dark felt a chill.

But he quickly wrote in his notebook: "The change in life form has not been reversed."

...

Although the mystery has not been explored, Impmon has indeed changed from a familiar to a life form very close to Digimon after being baptized by "arrogance".

Dark initially believed that this change should be irreversible.

It's like a magician awakening his talent, possessing magic power, and becoming extraordinary from then on.

After Impmon "awakened", he became even more noisy!

Although Impmon, who originally couldn't speak, occasionally played tricks, his good habits as an ultimate dog-licker made him very popular.

But what if he could speak?

Is he disgusting people with his weird and weird words all day long?

This is really a point that needs attention.

Dak doesn't want to miss out on the unique takeaway from St. Marian again.

Perhaps, it would be a good idea to give him a muzzle?

Under the strange gaze of his master, the little devil beast quickly stood up and folded his wings behind his back, like a primary school student being reprimanded.

Dak shook his head and decided to continue his research: "By the way, you are not allowed to talk in front of outsiders!"

...

Now the "arrogance" index has been reduced from 112 to 111 using the magic brain dropper.

But it is far from enough.

But the use of the magic brain dropper is very dangerous and must be used with caution.

Dak did not start using it for the second time immediately.

The "Magic Brain Dropper Usage Guide" clearly states: "If you don't want to suddenly become an idiot, remember not to extract thinking substances more than once a month!"

It collectively refers to substances such as memory, emotions, knowledge, and thoughts as "thinking substances" and recommends moderation.

But after reading the whole book, Dak knew that the magicians who studied this way usually extracted two or three times in a month.

Because experiments are always accompanied by failures, if you want to break through, you have to take some risks.

As the number of times you extract thinking matter in a month increases, the risk factor also shows a trend of increasing. After three times, the risk factor is close to 60%, which is more than half.

So there is also a saying that "three times is not enough".

Of course, the magicians in the book dare to extract two or three times in a month because they have strong skills.

Even so, if you keep extracting like this for several months in a row, it is easy to cause "intermittent amnesia".

Dak is self-aware and knows that even if he extracts thinking matter normally, it is extremely dangerous. So he chose the "dragonfly skimming method".

The "dragonfly skimming method" can only extract thinking matter that overflows the brain, and the risk factor is very low.
