Chapter 129: Dark Demon's White Cat is Born
Magic History class quietly ended amidst Headmistress Cynthia's plain yet humorous narration.
Even after the Headmistress left, the young magi were still immersed in it.
The anecdotes of the Hero's student days were clearly more in line with their current state of mind, making it easier to feel a sense of connection.
Although they had never actually met the Hero, after this class, they all had a rather vivid image of him in their minds.
At the same time, the young magi also discovered that they were walking the same path as the Hero!
Binding history, walking into history, one discovers they too are becoming history.
The one most deeply touched by this was, naturally, Virt Gold.
He remained in the classroom for a long time, lost in his feelings.
Dark Demon, however, left quickly after class.
Headmistress Cynthia would continue to tell stories about the heroes' growth at St. Marian in the upcoming Magic History classes.
He was very interested in this, looking forward to the day the Valkyrie became the protagonist of the story.
But before that, he had his own things to do.
This afternoon was the moment for the Flower of Pride to bear fruit!
Usually at this time, he would head straight for the library, but there were always exceptions.
Entering the tower, returning to his dormitory, he pushed the door open.
Dark Demon bent down to scoop up the welcoming Catnip Grass; a tiny flowerpot was tied to its tail like a bow.
The flowerpot was specially made; apart from the part connected to the tail, it had no other openings.
Inside the pot was a special filtration device.
This allowed the Catnip Grass to grow normally without soil or water leaking out.
Dark Demon gently scratched under Catnip Grass's chin until it purred with comfort. He then held it, placed it on a chair, prepared his equipment, and began the experiment!
Today's experiment was very important; it could be said to be the test of the results of his efforts for over half a month.
At the same time, an additional idea had formed in his gut. If the Catnip Grass experiment was successful, it was highly likely that a whole system could be formed!
Before the experiment.
Dark Demon first used the Magic Brain Dropper to extract a drop of [Pride] from his brain.
With the help of "Meditation Art," this drop of [Pride] still amounted to 1.5 points.
Adding the remaining 0.5 from yesterday, he had a full two points of [Pride]!
According to his speculation, these two points of [Pride] were more than enough.
Next, he used the Magic Brain Dropper again, extracting half the amount from the thought vial, which was one point of [Pride], and injected it into the bug-branch.
This bug-branch felt more and more like a baby bottle, and Catnip Grass was like a suckling infant, clinging to the top of the branch and drinking desperately.
This time, Dark Demon didn't watch its expression but focused intently on the Flower of Pride on Catnip Grass's head.
As the energy of [Pride] was transported into the fully bloomed Flower of Pride, it began to grow further at an extremely fast rate.
There was no "pollination" process.
The Flower of Pride directly bore fruit.
The ovary in the lower part of the pistil gradually swelled, the ovule developing from birth to growth.
And the brilliant petals withered and shrank at a visible rate.
It was obvious to see.
The ovule was absorbing energy.
When the Flower of Pride had completely withered and fallen, a fruit the size of a longan had actually appeared on Catto's head!
Dark Demon put on gloves and carefully touched the fruit.
The surface of the fruit was a bit rough, entirely fiery red, but upon closer inspection, one could see a faint golden sheen on the red base.
On one side, the naturally formed emblem of Pride was exceptionally conspicuous.
He merely touched it slightly, and the fruit fell from the stem, clearly ripe enough.
After that, only a fine stem like a cowlick remained on Catnip Grass's head.
Dark Demon didn't have the heart to cut that stem off.
He took the fruit and quickly moved to the experiment table.
First, he placed a glass trough on the table, then put the fruit inside, took out a long, thin knife, and carefully cut the fruit open.
Instantly, some white pulp flowed out.
The inside of the fruit was a viscous semi-liquid, emitting a faint light aura after being cut.
Dark Demon didn't find any "seed-like" organs inside, which disappointed him quite a bit.
No seeds meant no possibility of planting.
It could only be cultivated by feeding Catnip Grass.
And cultivating such a fruit used roughly seven points of [Pride].
Seven points of [Pride] was already close to the amount needed to create [Pride II].
After recording the data collected so far in graphical form.
Dark Demon took a deep breath, preparing for the most critical experiment.
"The refinement method is [Avian - Light Attribute]."
"The core materials are the Fruit of Pride and the Angel Feather."
"What needs to be prepared: Elf Honey, Brain Leaf Essence Water, Activated Egg Liquid, Light-attribute powder..."
Activated Egg Liquid was the egg liquid of a creature's egg that had been specially treated to maintain a certain level of activity.
In the basic refinement method for [Avian], Activated Egg Liquid was an indispensable part.
Once everything was ready.
It was time for the formal experiment.
Dark Demon unhesitatingly used a 50-credit blank magic card.
Quickly, he evenly spread the Elf Honey on the blank magic card and added a drop of Brain Leaf Essence Water.
After letting it dry slightly, he applied a layer of transparent, yellowish "Activated Egg Liquid," then sprinkled on the light-attribute "attribute powder," and drew the No. 7 refinement formation.
The No. 7 refinement formation allowed materials to gradually integrate into the magic card.
Because this was a one-time experiment, Dark Demon was fully focused, refining every step to the extreme.
Therefore, after nearly an hour and a half, he had only produced a delicate semi-finished magic card.
For the final step of refining the core materials.
He replaced the magic pen's mercury core with "Silver Cat Blood" and then began to draw the No. 1 refinement formation.
The Silver Cat was a Normal-type magic beast. The properties of its blood, in terms of magic conduction, were close to mercury, but more precious, and it possessed additional biological properties, suitable for most feline magic spirit card creations.
Fruit of Pride, Angel Feather, Silver Cat Blood...
All these preparations were to guide the final product towards Gatomon!
When the No. 1 refinement formation was complete, Dark Demon even faintly heard a meow!
He first poured the most important Fruit of Pride into the refinement formation.
After the Fruit of Pride gradually sank into the light formation, he picked up the Angel Feather.
The moment the Angel Feather came into contact with the brilliance of the refinement formation, it instantly released a strong white light!
At this step, Dark Demon was actually a bit hesitant.
The Fruit of Pride was essentially cultivated from a Great Sin, while the Angel Feather was a sacred attribute; theoretically, their attributes were mutually exclusive.
If they repelled each other during the refinement process, it was very likely that all his efforts would be in vain!
The time cost was secondary; the main issue was that the Fruit of Pride and the Angel Feather were too precious, especially the latter, which was basically impossible to find again.
So this experiment was an all-or-nothing gamble; he could only advance, not retreat!
"If this refinement succeeds, it will basically prove that the essence of the Great Sins does not conflict with holiness."
Dark Demon suppressed his nervousness and carefully placed the Angel Feather into the white light.
The pure white feather seemed to touch the surface of water, creating faint ripples.
Without any repulsion, the Angel Feather merged into the refinement formation.
Everything went frighteningly smoothly.
After absorbing the Fruit of Pride and the Angel Feather, the light emitted by the No. 1 refinement formation reached its peak.
After a brief stalemate, a thought stirred in Dark Demon's mind, and he added a few cat hairs.
In an instant, the light erupted and then converged.
All the materials were fused and refined. Luminous threads drilled out from the card face, gradually weaving into a white cocoon.
Refinement complete!
Regardless of the final product, at least the experiment was a success.
Dark Demon breathed a slight sigh of relief, quietly waiting for the magic card's final formation.
Two minutes later, the magic power fluctuations emanating from the white cocoon gradually subsided.
Dark Demon took out a small mercury knife, infused it with magic power, and prepared to cut the cocoon open.
But as the blade touched, the magic came into contact, and the white cocoon unraveled like spun silk, revealing a magic card that was pure white overall.
The cat on the card face opened its eyes, first looking around in a daze, then its gaze suddenly sharpened.
It crossed its arms, its chin slightly raised, its gaze piercing through the card face, as if saying in an arrogant tone: "Are you my master?"
