Chapter 434: Deadly Sin Armament – Lust
A piece of thin silver armor wrapped around Dark's slender body, perfectly outlining his torso's contours.
Two sensory antennas stood upright by his ears, forming a V-shape with the curve of his chin. A purple mask covered the upper half of his face, leaving only his delicate lips and elegant chin exposed.
The silver mirror had turned into a chest guard engraved with mysterious runes after the transformation.
Dark tilted his head slightly, and a sensation of extreme lightness flooded his entire body as his feet lifted off the ground.
"So, this is Armament Evolution?"
The pulsating power throughout his body made him wonder whether he could ever adapt to the sluggishness of his original form after getting used to this sensation.
After a brief moment, he calmed down and carefully felt the changes of the [Soul of the Moon Goddess I].
Upon using [Divine Armament: Moon Goddess], the armor card seemed to transform into something similar to a magical spirit card.
Dark’s current form was displayed in the style of a magical spirit card.
▼
[Card Name: Moon Goddess (Divine Armament)]
[Type: Spirit Card]
[Level: ✪✪✪✪✪✪]
[Race: Godly-Phantom-Type]
[Attribute: Shadow]
[Magic Energy: 3000]
[Attack: 3000]
[Defense: 3000]
[Ultimate Abilities: Divine Armament, Moon Goddess Mirror, Moon Palace, Lunar Eclipse]
▲
"Only four ultimate abilities?"
Dark narrowed his eyes, feeling slightly confused by the feedback.
"A golden card already has four ultimate abilities, so I assumed a divine card would have more than four."
"It seems that the so-called 'divine card' doesn’t belong to the same system as the white, blue, purple, orange, and gold levels."
"As for the six-star rating, that's consistent with my expectations."
"At the moment, this Divine Armament seems analogous to Digi-Spirit’s spirit evolution, like Champion Level Digimon, equivalent to second-tier magical spirits."
"And as for the attribute… still Shadow?"
Although [Lust] indeed fit best with [Shadow] and [Fairy-type], the normal form of the Moon Goddess gave Dark a distinct feeling of ‘light.’ So even if the armament-evolved [Moon Goddess] had a light attribute, it wouldn’t have surprised him. However, it remained Shadow-type.
Additionally, the stat distribution of the Moon Goddess was similar to Devimon’s – maxed-out in all three areas but without any standout traits.
Satisfactory, but not surprising.
Thus, he quickly focused on the four ultimate abilities.
The first ultimate ability—[Divine Armament]!
From the name alone, it was clear that this was likely a common ultimate ability for all [Divine Armaments], and it was probably passive.
Dark closed his eyes and focused, acquiring more information.
▼
[Divine Armament: Passive Ability. The Divine Armament contains divine power, not only granting the wearer greater strength but also elevating the wearer’s status, rendering most status-changing ultimate abilities ineffective against them. Magic energy +1000, attack +1000, defense +1000, rank +1.]
▲
"This ultimate ability..."
A glimmer of joy appeared in Dark's eyes.
"A strengthened version of [Holy Ring]? This truly has the feel of a divine card."
"An increase of 1000 to magic energy, attack, and defense brings the armament-evolved [Moon Goddess] to full eight-star stats."
"The rank boost of +1 raises [Moon Goddess] from the second tier to the third tier."
"As for the immunity to status-changing ultimate abilities..."
"This means ultimates like [Shuckle]'s attack-defense redistribution or [Meowth]'s Foul Play are ineffective against [Moon Goddess], ensuring she maintains an advantage when her stats are superior to her opponent’s."
"In reality, this immunity might be the core of the [Divine Armament]."
Dark quickly absorbed this information and immediately delved into understanding the second ultimate ability—[Moon Goddess Mirror]!
▼
[Moon Goddess Mirror: Absorbs moonlight and transforms it into magic energy, allowing Divine Armament: Moon Goddess to sustain itself without consuming the wearer's magic energy during nighttime. Even in daylight, the stored moonlight power in the Moon Goddess Mirror can be used to maintain the armament. When necessary, the moonlight stored in the Moon Goddess Mirror can be released all at once, creating a circular shield of concentrated moonlight that can completely block attacks for 30 seconds, unaffected by most ultimates.]
▲
"A charging-type ultimate ability."
"I get it now. This [Moon Goddess Mirror] is like an external power core that supplies energy to the [Divine Armament: Moon Goddess], and it also has a [Protect]-like ability."
"With this [Moon Goddess Mirror], even magical spirits without magic energy recovery abilities can wear the armament!"
"This means, even in duel tournaments where duelists can't participate directly, this armor card can still be used. However, which magical spirits can equip it and which can’t will need to be tested."
Dark was elated and immediately turned to the third ultimate ability—[Moon Palace].
In fact, among the four ultimate abilities of [Moon Goddess], [Moon Palace] was the one Dark was most familiar with.
That’s because Rose's [Aurora Moon Rabbit] also had this ultimate ability.
▼
[Moon Palace: Conjures a magnificent palace in the air, granting a charm bonus and healing boost to all life within its coverage. During a full moon, it can release [Moon Goddess’s Blessing]. If the wearer is the [Moon Goddess], they also gain [Cute Charm] and [Moonlight Hymn].]
[Moon Goddess’s Blessing: Releases a large-scale healing wave, restoring 1/3 of the max health of all life under the moon palace.]
[Cute Charm: There is a chance that attackers of the opposite sex will become infatuated with the magical spirit that has this ability.]
[Moonlight Hymn: Absorbs moonlight, recovering 1% of max magic energy per second.]
▲
"This ultimate ability..."
Dark's eyelids twitched.
This [Moon Palace] was undoubtedly a field spell skill. Initially, Dark thought it was more decorative than practical, but it turned out to have extra effects for [Moon Goddess].
"Cute Charm and Moonlight Hymn..."
Dark raised his hand and looked at Gatomon, tempted to test it out.
But he was already quite familiar with [Cute Charm], so no testing was needed.
"In any case, the primary issue with this [Moon Palace] is likely its duration. It can last around three minutes, but it’s not a long-lasting field spell skill like [Wonderland]."
"However, the duration of [Armament Evolution] is limited anyway, so it's not a big problem."
Dark composed himself and finally turned to the last ultimate ability—[Lunar Eclipse].
▼
[Lunar Eclipse: Summons moonlight to attack the target. Each beam of moonlight deals corrosive damage and causes brief stuns. Up to twelve beams can be summoned consecutively. If used during a moonlit night, the power is doubled!]
▲
As the final of the four ultimate abilities, [Lunar Eclipse] was, at last, a highly offensive one.
In Dark's understanding, it was equivalent to twelve consecutive [Moonblasts] with added stun effects!
For others, this ultimate ability might be difficult to use, but if [Sylveon] was the one using it, it would be as easy as using its own arm.
After a moment of thought, Dark raised his hand and lifted one of his fingers, summoning a beam of moonlight that shot down violently, crashing into the ground!
The beam of moonlight was thick, like a pillar of light, flooding outwards like a tide upon hitting the ground, with a visual impact that was utterly breathtaking.
Dark then raised his hand again, and a brilliant aurora streaked across the sky, revealing a magnificent Moon Palace, like a mirage.
The Moon Palace was grand and splendid, mesmerizing anyone who gazed up at it.
Dark stood still, merely basking in the moonlight emanating from the Moon Palace, and felt his magic energy, drained by using his ultimate ability, quickly recovering.
The feeling of being instantly replenished was truly addictive.
"Even though a 1% recovery rate seems small, with 3000 points of magic energy, 1% per second is 30 points per second, which means it would take just 100 seconds to fully recover 3000 points."
Dark stretched his limbs, then, with just a slight tap of his toes, floated effortlessly into the air, stepping through the void.
This floating ability wasn’t recorded as part of his ultimate, but it was just as impressive.
He immediately started moving, running through the air.
The moonlight enveloped him, making him as light as a feather, and he moved with incredible speed.
His dynamic vision improved as well, allowing him to react with ease.
Originally, equipping armor would already boost the wearer's abilities, but this [Armament Evolution] takes it even further, offering greater power while remaining easy to control.
...
Fifteen minutes later, Dark sensed that the [Armament Evolution] was about to end, and reluctantly descended.
He slightly raised his hand, and the magic card [Soul of the Moon Goddess I] appeared. A great amount of light surged from his body and was absorbed into the magic card.
Under the remaining moonlight, Dark lightly landed, immediately feeling a bit heavier and slightly uncomfortable.
"That’s about it. The cooldown for this Moon Goddess Armament is around sixty minutes after activation. I’ll need to wait another forty-five minutes to try the next armament form."
Dark smiled at the magical spirits that had unknowingly gathered around him and began cleaning up the remnants of his experiment.
After about ten minutes, he had packed everything into his backpack, leaving only a set of vials and a Bottle of Thoughts.
The Bottle of Thoughts and the vials were now filled with the Moon Goddess version of [Lust]. If preserved properly, they could be turned into two [Lust III - Moon].
He was now quite certain that by mixing his own [Lust], he could improve [Lust III - Moon].
However, his current [Lust] index was only 80 points, far from the extraction threshold.
So, for now, he couldn't try it out.
"I’ll just store them for later!"
Having made up his mind, Dark placed the vials and Bottle of Thoughts into his backpack and prepared to stay in the temple for another half hour. He planned to test [Deadly Sin Armament: Lust] before leaving the secret passage.
But just as he sat down to rest, he suddenly heard something break.
He quickly looked up and saw a long crack appear on the surface of the empty statue of the Moon Goddess.
Gradually, more and more small cracks spread across the surface, accompanied by deep rumbling sounds emanating from within the statue.
Dark's expression changed, and he quickly backed away.
Just as he reached the temple entrance, the Moon Goddess statue collapsed completely, turning into dust in an instant.
The entire temple began to shake, clearly on the verge of collapsing!
"As expected, without the remnants of the Moon Goddess' divinity, this temple will cease to exist."
Dark's eyes flashed, and the magic cards in his hand fanned out. The magical spirits surrounding him quickly turned into light and were absorbed back into the cards, with DemiDevimon and Leomon reappearing at his side moments later.
"We need to go, Leomon!"
"Mhm." Leomon bent slightly, then quickly hoisted Dark onto its broad shoulders.
Dark settled himself on Leomon’s shoulder, and casually recalled [Wonderland] into its card.
As the light faded, Leomon swiftly turned and dashed forward, while the torches along the corridor lit up automatically, illuminating the path ahead.
"Rumble!"
Dark turned his head sharply and saw the grand temple crumble, sending clouds of dust billowing into the air, completely burying it.
...
Afterward, Dark didn’t linger in the secret passage.
Leomon ran for nearly three hours before they finally emerged from the passage.
At this moment, curfew had yet to begin. Dark exited the passage, recalled Leomon to the magic card, and quickly headed toward the Noble House tower. Under the watchful gaze of the Feathered Serpent Golem, he entered the tower.
Seeing the common room was nearly empty, he exhaled in relief and passed through, quickly heading up the stairs.
Soon, he reached his dorm room.
"Meow~"
Dark bent down and picked up the cat grass that had pounced on him, then took out the [Magical Scribe] for summoning, handling over the remaining summoning tasks to it.
After setting his backpack down, he eagerly grabbed the [Soul of the Moon Goddess I] again.
"In the name of Dark Demon, magic summon!"
The Soul of the Moon Goddess materialized from the summoning circle, her eyes filled with curiosity as she looked around and asked, "Is this your bedroom?"
"Something like that." Dark smirked and said, "Can I use you again?"
The Soul of the Moon Goddess: "???"
As she turned around, puzzled, Dark had already begun reciting the activation phrase for [Deadly Sin Armament: Lust]:
"...In the name of Dark Demon, magic summon!"
As soon as he finished chanting, the peculiar weapon, shaped like a warhammer, in the Soul of the Moon Goddess' hand began to glow.
Her body, along with the silver mirror, was absorbed into the warhammer, leaving only the weapon floating in the air.
"So, this second form is a weapon-type armament?"
Dark’s thoughts stirred, and as he reached out to grab the weapon, a stream of magic energy flowed from his fingertips into his mind, filling him with knowledge about the armament.
