Chapter 12 The Philosopher’s Stone

Watching Jonouchi walk to the field, Hayato also left from the backcourt. As he walked, he opened the [Warehouse] and took out a white card.

Because we are now in a virtual world, Hayato's way of obtaining cards is restricted. He cannot open the "Specified Race Construction Card Pack" he obtained before. The acquisition of cards is limited to the game. However, only the cards in his hand can be obtained. The card held above is an exception.

This card is the mysterious reward that was obtained when completing the "Ruler Breaker" mission. However, compared to the previous rewards that clearly stated all the information, this "mysterious reward" is a bit too mysterious. .

Not to mention any instructions and introduction text, this card is completely blank even on its face. Hayato held it in his hand and looked at it, but he couldn't figure out how to use this card.

"Compared to this kind of reward that although it looks very powerful, but is so inexplicable that there is no instruction on how to use it, I would rather this card become a [Pot of Lust]."

After making a casual remark, Hayato lowered his head and looked at the card in his hand again, but couldn't help showing a shocked expression.

I saw that the originally blank card in his hand looked like someone was drawing with a paintbrush. A wretched but beloved smile was gradually sketched out. It turned out to be the one Hayato mentioned casually just now. 【Pot of Desire】?

Looking at the [Pot of Desire] in his hand, Hayato was a little confused.

Are you serious? Just change it! Don't change back like this, okay? I want your [Pot of Desire] to be useless? You can buy three cards at Turtle Card House for 50 yen. If you want to change your mind, why don’t you turn me into a Sword King, Red Father, and Phoenix Man?

The card in Hayato's hand changed again. First it changed from a magic card to a monster card. The words "Phantom Dragon Clan" began to appear, but soon it turned into garbled characters as if there was a bug, and gradually turned into a fusion card. Monster.

But the "Crouching Dragon" Super Magical Dragon Knight and the "Phoenix Child" Destruction Phoenix Man that Hayato was looking forward to did not appear. Instead, what appeared in the Katu area was a "Crouching Dragon" and "Phoenix Child" suture monster - a pair of big ones behind him With wings and a dragon's tail behind him, he doesn't look like a magician or a warrior. At the end of the change, a turtle suddenly appeared and swallowed everything, and the card became blank again.

Being cured of hypotension by the sudden appearance of the turtle, Hayato suddenly felt inexplicably familiar with the changes that had just appeared on the card. He couldn't help but ask the system: "System, your card is so familiar. You have a name like yours. It can’t be the [Philosopher’s Stone], right?”

What Hayato is talking about is not the [Philosopher's Stone] that is used in the game deck to specially summon [Dark Magician] in conjunction with [Dark Magician Girl]. The full name of the [Philosopher's Stone] that Hayato is talking about is, It should be [Philosopher's Stone-Sabashir]. It is not a card that appeared in the DM era, but was used by the protagonist of GX, Yujo Judai, ten years later, or it was once used. .

This card has the ability to "create miracles" in duels. Simply put, it is a genuine stamp card. After Yujo Judai drew this card, he activated its effect three times in succession, turning it into three different types of fusion cards, which reversed the situation of the duel at that time. After being used three times, this card activated the attack power-increasing effect in the graveyard, establishing the victory of the duel.

Of course, after that duel, Yujo Judai’s [Philosopher’s Stone-Sabashir] also disappeared. After all, a cheat like this that is used openly and honestly will definitely be blocked in minutes, so Yucheng Judai is the one who has "used it before".

Hayato couldn't help but regret. He seemed to have changed four cards in one go. Could it be that I just gave this card away for free? WDNMDyo.

But the system replied: [Detection completed, the similarity between the card used by the duelist and the card in the duelist's memory is: 50%, which is not the same card. Spend 1000dp for in-depth analysis? 】

You just want money. Hayato looked at the DP points he had accumulated during this period and clicked the confirmation button with distress. He couldn't bear to let his child trap the wolf, so Hayato would rather spend some DP than blindly fumble for this card without knowing anything. Anyway, there are leeks at the door of the Turtle Card House every day... I mean duelists come to the door.

After spending DP, the system quickly gave instructions for use, which made Hayato wonder whether the system had learned from some game manufacturers to "castrate the content of the main body and then sell DLC". In fact, there had been instructions long ago that it was just to suppress the game. Just don’t give it.

[This card can be used to temporarily replace a duelist's designated card by consuming energy. The higher the rarity of the target card, the higher the energy consumption. This card adds one charge per day, and the maximum charge limit is 4]

With this explanation, Hayato understood. This card in my hand is indeed the same as the [Philosopher's Stone - Sabathil] to some extent, and it can indeed be used to seal cards.

The only difference is that Yujo Judai's one has a higher burst and can print three cards unlimitedly in one breath. Hayato's card requires charging to use, one level for N level, two levels for R level, and SR Three layers. If it is a UR card, you need to charge all four layers to print one.

But in contrast, Yujo Judai's one is gone after three uses, but Hayato's one can be reused indefinitely. A short burst is exchanged for more uses, and it's hard to say who is better and who is worse.

But thinking about it this way, it seems a little inappropriate to call Hayato's card [Sabashir], because these two cards only have some similar effects, and are not the same card.

Just like [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] and [Man-eating Insect] can take the target and destroy a monster, but Hayato can guarantee that if he calls [A White Dragon] that Kaiba may print in the future called [Man-eating Insect], Kaiba's The guy's face definitely doesn't look good.

"[Philosopher's Stone-Sabashir], I remember that 'Sabashir' seems to be another name for the Archangel Michael." Hayato clapped his hands and came up with a name that he felt was pretty good, " Then this card will be called [Helaire] from now on, [Philosopher’s Stone-Helel].”

Hellel means morning star in Hebrew and is also the nickname of a famous angel in the Bible. This angel was the brother of Michael, who was renamed Satan after the Fall. His Latin name was mistakenly transliterated and he became known as Lucifer.

Just after Hayato decided on the name of this blank card, white flames ignited on the card, but there was no burning sensation on his hands. After the flames disappeared, the [Philosopher's Stone-Helaire] with a completely new appearance appeared in Hayato's hands.

It seems that after being named, the number of charges was reset, and it was completely bound to Hayato. With a thought from Hayato, [Philosopher's Stone-Helaire] turned into an equipment magic card.

Following the stairs to the window of an attic on the edge of the arena, Hayato looked at the two people in the duel field who had summoned their own monsters to fight, but had not discovered each other's identity yet. He took the card to himself and looked out the window. Leap.
