But this was just an idea.

If one wished to craft this kind of self-aware weapon, it would require unprecedentedly huge amounts of supplementary materials and consumption.

Dark wasn't very confident in his current capacity of magic energy.

He needed more time to accumulate it.

Of course, if he really wanted to craft it, he still had another way—and that was to break the !

The moment it broke, it would turn from a self-aware weapon into purely a valuable material.

As such, the cost of crafting it would be greatly reduced.

But in that case, it would likely be impossible to craft it into [].

Although [Honedge] was shaped like a sword, it was actually a [] + [] dual-attribute magical spirit.

If the "ghost" element was lacking, it would be difficult to successfully craft it.

In addition, [Honedge] would come to possess a shield after it evolved into [Doublade](双剑鞘) and [Aegislash](坚盾剑怪).

So if he wanted to craft [Honedge], he also needed the element of "shield".

Speaking of "shield"...

Dark inadvertently glanced in 's direction, but he quickly looked away.

"Now that I think about it, it seems that I already have the prerequisites to craft [Honedge]?"

"If it's still not enough, perhaps that piece of can also make up for the shortcomings."

He suddenly realized that the only threshold separating him from [Honedge] was "insufficient magic energy".

And "insufficient magic energy" could be made up for in a variety of ways.

For instance, the most common "" or something else that was more efficient.

It was a pity that Miltank's [Milk] essentially recovered life force and not magic energy. Otherwise, he wouldn't need to worry about insufficient magic energy at all.

So the final question was, which [] should he use as the anchor?

……

As Dark considered the feasibility of crafting [Honedge], he took out []'s magic card for a check.

After injecting a bit of magic energy and receiving the feedback, he found that with the shortsword in its grasp, Gatomon's stats had indeed been greatly improved.

Gatomon's basic attack power was 1900. With the boost from [], it could be normally maintained at 2400.

But after equipping the shortsword, it directly soared by 1200 points!

"This value…"

"The 's giant ax can only raise the attack power by 1000 points, yet this shortsword can actually raise it by 1200 points. Moreover, so far it seems like there's no side effects to it."

"1200 points… could it be 4 x 300? Just like Dianna's [], is calculated on the basis of star ranking x 300?"

"If it's really a holy sword, the probability of this calculation system is quite high."

"Let me see what other abilities it has besides the pure increase in attack power."

"There are two additional passive skills, one is [](神圣) and the other is []."

[Holy Blest: In addition to the resistance of the original attribute of the user, increases resistance against demon race by 100% and shadow-attributed opponent by 50%. Has an additional lethal effect against demon race.]

[Sacred Sword: Land a sure hit regardless of the opponent's stat modifiers. There is a slight chance of bypassing defense and directly hitting the opponent.]

"Looks like it's indeed a holy sword!"

"These two passive skills really seem like the abilities of a holy sword."

"If I remember correctly, the magical spirit [Honedge] also possesses a similar skill called [Sacred Sword]. Although the effects are slightly different, they're inexplicably congruous."

……

The more he looked at the passive skill called [Sacred Sword], the more Dark felt that this holy sword and [Honedge] were bound by fate.

Perhaps, even if he did it casually, it would still be successfully crafted.

And because it was a light-attributed holy sword, the [deadly sin] to be used had to be [].

Just like the time he crafted [Meowth], using [] as the foundation and then adding in [Sacred Sword], [] and [Pride], perhaps he would be able to craft it just like that.

The more he thought about it, the greater he felt this possibility would be.

If he had an efficient method to replenish magic energy at hand, he might have begun experimenting on the spot!

……

But fortunately, he had yet to obtain such a means, so he ultimately calmed down.

"No rush, no rush. Tomorrow, I'll go to to ask about , and then see if there's any way to quickly replenish a lot of magic energy."

"As for now, there are still other things that require attention."

Dark returned to sit at his desk and turned his gaze towards the eighteen-sided black crystal on the desk.

's casual remark about the eighteen-sided crystal gave him a reminder. He finally remembered where he had seen this eighteen-sided object before.

Just as Emma said, it was a "dice."

An eighteen-sided drinking game dice!

As a dice used in drinking games during the , although it wasn't very well-known, it truly did exist.

"If I use this as a template, will it be possible to craft it into a dice with eighteen different effects?"

"With this line of thought as the starting point, it might be possible to achieve some conceptual breakthroughs."

"Excluding light and darkness, magical spirits also happen to have exactly ."

"It's just that I haven't learned much about the crafting of item cards."

"Unless I craft it into an armor."

In any case, he already had a rough idea on how to deal with this eighteen-sided crystal.

After Dark jotted down his thoughts, he turned to pick up the piece of living metal.

Even amongst all the things he gained today, this piece of living metal still exuded a great sense of existence.

It didn't have a hard shell like ordinary metals and would deform with just a little bit of force, but if left in place, it would slowly return to its original shape, sort of like a "memory metal".

Dark's initial idea was to use it for armor crafting, but in fact, he hadn't properly thought about what to craft it into.

For him, this was indeed a difficult problem.

Living metal actually had quite a wide scope of application.

From time to time, Dark would wonder—if he sculpted it into an action figure and then processed it with the technique used to craft , would he be able to obtain the legendary "moving figurine"?

But that would be such a huge waste.

If he wasted such a large piece of rare metal just for his own hobby, he would definitely not be able to sleep.

But talking about figurines...

Dark stared at the piece of living metal for a long time and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

In his memory, there was something that was very similar to a figurine.

Moreover, it undoubtedly fell into the category of armor.

It also utilized the system of spiritual power.

But the essence of that thing was actually the "inheritance of the soul."

No matter how he thought about it, it was impossible to craft it with just a piece of metal.

"I still need to give it some further thoughts."

As he pondered over it, the night grew deeper.

Dark gradually came up with some bold ideas.
