Chapter 54 The Beginning of Lust Series Magic Card
***Edited by Kronost***
Scattered moonlight adorned the night, and Saint Marian was full of mottled shadows.
On top of the spiral clock tower in the center of the castle, Professor Didi Maxwell floated in the air, gently fluttering her butterfly wings.
There were deep wrinkles on her forehead, and two incomplete moons were reflected in her eyes.
...
As a ray of red light soared into the sky, the sky was torn open and warmth permeated in.
Dark poured a potion on Worm Tree, fed cat juice to cat grass. And after eating the breakfast DemiDevimon had brought, he left the tower and headed to Traveller Street.
The early autumn morning was a bit cold, and there were sparse figures on Traveller Street.
Dark bought a fence and some cat toys.
After thinking about it, he also bought a set of experimental tools according to the specifications in the laboratory.
Ordinary experimental tools were not expensive. The most expensive part was the processed part, such as the mercury glass rod used by Professor Thompson in class.
In addition, he bought ten blank magic cards with 10 credits, two blank magic cards with 50 credits, and some commonly used basic materials. In short, a lot of things.
The credits were decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye, leaving only about 200 in the end.
“I cannot always go to the laboratory. I have to have my own set of tools.”
Dark nodded in satisfaction and brought various bags back to the dormitory.
It was only nine o’clock.
Fortunately, the dormitory was spacious enough to have a small corner for experimentation, which was more than enough.
Then he took out the dress-up card he bought yesterday from the card pouch and put it on the table.
According to the explanation of Senior Leon, he only needed to engrave the last miniature crafting magic circle the ○ in the lower right corner of this dress-up card to activate it.
The dress-up card was actually a kind of item card, a variant of the armor series.
It completely gave up offensive and defensive bonuses, only focusing on style and design. Adding only a “size change” function.
The Kamen Rider dress-up card made by Leon senior was just a crude imitation.
Honestly, it was a cosplay costume!
Dark quickly completed the last steps and tried it on.
‘How to put it?’
It was convenient, but the workmanship was actually quite rough.
Especially the Tuxedo Mask set. It did not differ from ordinary dresses.
Since it was for Halloween, it was better to buy a set of high-end goods by yourself.
“This won’t do. If I let my mother know that I’m wearing such cheap goods, she will probably cry.”
So Dark threw the dress-up card into the drawer and decided he would take it apart when he wanted to study it.
...
Then, Dark chose one of the nine flower cards and prepared to do an experiment.
The purpose of the experiment was simple, that was, to further verify the previous conjecture.
The phenomenon caused by just one flower card was not enough to prove that they could absorb [Lust].
So many experiments were needed to verify.
Furthermore, he also wanted to see if he could control the frequency of magic energy input. So that after the flower card absorbs [Lust], it would not be damaged somehow.
It was mainly because White’s [Forbidden Love] inspired him.
Since White could convert flower cards into magic cards, he could naturally, too.
...
[Lust: 92]
Hmm, 2 points more than at the end of last month.
After the deadly sin indicator exceeds 100 points, it would be a little harder to rise to raise it, which gave him more leeway.
Dark didn’t care about the extra 2 points, but he carefully observed the flower cards on the table.
The exquisite flower card was dotted with blossoming red plums, which were deceptive, unyielding, and charming.
But what kind of evil was hidden under this gorgeous surface?
He used the magic energy pen as the medium again, pointing it at the flower card and instilling magic energy little by little.
The red plum blossomed from the flower cards, releasing a fresh fragrance.
With the continuous input of magic energy, they gradually spread out, and an overly white delicate face appeared on the card surface.
The heart-shaped mark under the corner of the eye made the face that clearly belonged to the innocent type extremely coquettish.
Dark held his breath and switched his thoughts quickly.
Pandora senpai’s face vanished, and the lovely cat grass reappeared.
“Meow~”
The cat grass squatting on the bedside table gave a timely call.
“Quiet!”
The DemiDevimon on the bird-stand raised its paw at the cat grass. Its eyes showed a trace of arrogance, looking down at the cat grass “bound by the flowerpot”; constantly deriving a sense of superiority from it.
Dark still concentrated on adjusting the output of magic energy.
With the continuous input of magic energy, the red plum on the flower card suddenly became abnormal!
Dark stopped the input instantly and removed the magic energy pen.
The red plum trembled frantically and only stopped after a long time.
Then Dark used the magic energy pen and tried to input a little more magic energy again.
[Lust-1]
Only this bit of magic energy input made the flower card breakthrough a certain critical point.
The red plum that had just calmed down became restless in an instant!
The bright red petals broke away from the calyx and turned into a storm as they shot out of the card, spinning, and whistling.
Dark immediately stepped back.
DemiDevimon, already ready to go, spread out its wings, and shot a big syringe. While breaking the petal storm, it nailed the red plum card to the table.
...
Dark did not give up the experiment because of this.
He stored the damaged red plum flower card in a sealed bag and picked out a new flower card again.
The white-pink apricot blossoms were shy and cute, with a touch of temptation.
He picked up the magic energy pen again and injected magic energy in.
Although he was more careful this time, the magic energy that the flower cards could withstand still reached a critical point.
Looking at the apricot blossoms trembling crazily in the flower card, Dark continued to input a trace of magic energy after thinking for a long time!
[Lust-1]
The moment the system-prompt drifted across his vision, he immediately stopped sending the magic energy.
But this apricot flower card still had unexpected changes!
The apricot blossoms on the card decomposed into thin silk threads!
These pink silk threads did not turn into vine snakes and rushed out to bite people like the silk threads of the black rose.
These were like woven cloth, wrapped around the flower cards one after another neatly.
When the last gap in the flower card was also covered by silk threads, they quickly melted away, only dying the flower card a faint pink.
Dark looked at the flower card that had become all pink with weird eyes and signaled DemiDevimon to grab it and look.
The arrogance in DemiDevimon’s eyes disappeared, and it immediately flew off the bird stand, poking the flower card with its paw.
With this poking, a faint breath climbed onto its paws.
“Poof.”
Then it suddenly spun around on one foot, blushing as if drunk, and fell down.
