Chapter 363: A Sword at One's Beck and Call!

Although Dark had never seen the skill [] in Pokémon, there were quite a few cards with similar effects to its literal meaning among the cards in 《Yu-Gi-Oh》.

In 《Yu-Gi-Oh》, there was a kind of "" (同盟怪兽) that could transform into "" and be equipped on another monster.

When Dark saw the name of the ultimate, he immediately thought of a similar effect.

He temporarily ignored the other three ultimates and once again injected his magic energy to obtain further information on [Weapon Transformation].

▼

[Weapon Transformation: Honedge is able to transform into a weapon form, during which the type of magic card will also change accordingly.]

▲

"Even the type of magic card will change?"

Dark’s thinking had always been relatively divergent.

Almost immediately, he realized where the key point lay.

"Does it mean that after using [Weapon Transformation], [Honedge] can be directly summoned as an equipment card?"

"Disregarding the summoning restrictions of the second tier, bypassing the need for any tribute summoning, and simply summoning it as a mere equipment card?"

"That's really too much..."

"But if it can really be done."

Dark reflexively gulped his saliva and couldn't help but to start summoning!

When using the , it would take at least more than one minute to summon the 4-star [Honedge]

But having often used Normal Summoning Spell to summon [Sylveon], [Gatomon] and [Miltank] in the dormitory, Dark had become quite skilled at it.

About one minute later, the summoning was successfully completed.

The "" version of [Honedge] materialized under the gaze of Dark and the magical spirits.

As it floated in midair, the lone eye in the center of its crossguard slowly opened, intersecting with Dark's gaze.

Without much deliberation, Dark proceeded to use [Greed Ⅱ] to activate its intelligence.

Under the illumination of light purple rays, the symbol of [Greed] emerged on top of Honedge's crossguard. The eye located right in the middle of the symbol clearly radiated the aura of greed.

Yet Dark only smiled and gave out a command, "Honedge, use [Weapon Transformation]."

Under the master's compulsory command, Honedge's eye instantly closed. The slender arm-like ribbon at its pommel immediately retracted into the hilt, leaving behind only a small section that formed a loop.

It looked just like the [Holy Sword]!

Dark reached out and grasped the [Honedge] that had undergone Weapon Transformation in his hand.

The sword was very light to hold. It could be seen that although [Honedge] had undergone Weapon Transformation, it still retained the property of buoyancy.

Dark merely waved the sword a few times before eagerly recalling it into its magic card.

Then, he picked up the magic card to check it.

▼

[Card name: Honedge (weapon form)]

[Type: item card]

[Effect ①: Grants the user an attack buff of "star ranking x 300". ]

[Effect ②: Additional passive skill "Holy Blest".]

[Effect ③: Additional passive skill "".]

[Effect ④: Additional ultimate "".]

[Effect ⑤: Additional ultimate "".]

[Effect ⑥: Additional ultimate "".]

"It really turned into an equipment card under the category of item card!"

Overjoyed, Dark promptly tried to summon it using the Normal Summoning Spell.

But immediately afterwards, a huge suction force abruptly came from the magic card.

Dark frowned and actively poured in his magic energy.

Only after consuming a large amount of magic energy was [Honedge (weapon form)] finally summoned.

Dark grasped the sword once more and injected his magic energy to use the ultimate [Spirit Transformation].

[Honedge (weapon form)] swiftly transformed into [Honedge (spirit form)].

"Although it consumes a bit more magic energy, it really only takes three seconds to summon the 4-star Honedge!"

After confirming this fact, Dark finally calmed down and continued to check [Honedge]'s three other ultimates.

To be honest, the first impression these three ultimates gave him was not a good one.

Magical spirits would get a power buff when using ultimates that corresponded to their attributes.

But among [Honedge]'s four ultimates, [Weapon Transformation] had no attribute, [Fury Cutter] was a bug-type ultimate, and both [Swords Dance] and [Sacred Sword] were fighting-type ultimates.

In other words, none of them belonged to the steel-type or ghost-type, so there would be no attribute buff.

This was very unfavorable to the improvement of the magical spirit's combat power.

But as matters stood, under current circumstances, he could only hope that [Honedge] would be able to obtain ultimates that corresponded to its attributes after evolving.

Dark carefully looked it over.

▼

[Fury Cutter: Consecutive cuts. If the attack successfully hits the opponent, on the next use, its power will increase by 50% of the user's basic attack power. Effective for up to three consecutive times. The accumulation will be reset if interrupted midway.]

[Swords Dance: Fiercely perform a war dance to raise the momentum and catapult one's attack power! The higher the momentum, the greater the increase in attack power. The minimum increase is 50% of the user's basic attack power, and the maximum increase is 100% of the user's basic attack power.]

[Sacred Sword: Holy sword.

Increases resistance against demon race by 100% and shadow-attributed opponent by 50% based on the resistance of the original attribute of the user. Has an additional lethal effect against demon race.

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

"The skill effect of [Ultimate: Sacred Sword] completely inherits the passive skills of the holy sword, just that it had changed from passive skills to an actively released ultimate. The power of this ultimate is actually decent, but since there's no attribute buff, it seems slightly weaker."

"In comparison, the combination of [Furry Cutter] and [Swords Dance] deserves to be called a godly skill."

"Start off with [Swords Dance], raise the momentum to the max, and then unleash the [Furry Cutter]. If it successfully lands three consecutive hits, it will multiply its attack power by up to three times!"

"For [Honedge] who has an attack power of 2200, once it starts dancing, it will be unstoppable!"

"For this kind of ultimate, the presence of attribute buff doesn't really matter."

"If these two skills can be combined with the effect of [Sacred Sword] for a three-in-one, only then it will be a true holy sword."

"A slash of 6600 attack power will show you what it feels like to be a master!"

Dark had a flash of realization.

Thereupon, he had [Honedge] undergo Weapon Transformation to further study its effects.

There were many effects to equipping [Honedge (weapon form)].

Effect ① was as clear as it could be.

Effects ② and ③ were both additional skills carried over from the holy sword.

Effects ④ and ⑤ granted the user with two buffing skills—[Furry Cutter] and [Swords Dance].

But as a weapon, the actual buff brought about by these two ultimates should be ([the user's basic attack power] x 300% + weapon buff).

Supposing the one wielding this weapon was [Gatomon]...

[Gatomon]'s [Holy Ring] was very special, the stat buff it brought about was also counted as [Gatomon]'s basic stats.

Therefore, if [Gatomon] wielded [Honedge] and unleashed [Swords Dance] + the third consecutive [Furry Cutter], its maximum attack power could reach (2400X300%+1200=8400)!

"A slash with 8400 attack power!"

"Although it's still inferior to Miltank, it's already extremely terrifying."

"Moreover, the higher the wielder's stats are, the attack power that can be unleashed will also increase accordingly."

"Hiss~ Is this the level of a magical spirit crafted from a [Holy Sword]?"

"I'm afraid it's even more terrifying than the average [Holy Sword]."

"But what I'm not sure is—is it still only limited to the Brave One?"

As he lifted Honedge and shook it around, Dark asked, "Who wants to try?"

"Meow."

Gatomon perked up and promptly raised its hand.

From the moment it saw Honedge transform from a magical spirit into a weapon, it realized that its "holy sword" was back.

Now that someone was to try out the sword, of course it had to be none other than itself.

"Meow!"
