As the blank magic card was dyed a rich dark gold, Dark drew out another drop of "Pride" and dripped it onto the card.
The dark gold color became even deeper.
Finally, the third drop is "arrogance"!
As this drop of "arrogance" spread, "black" gradually gained the upper hand. The so-called "dark gold" turned into "black gold".
Dac recorded this phenomenon and then began to apply "sealing fluid".
The subsequent steps will be omitted.
……
When the final transmutation circle takes effect, a brand new, black and gold "Pride" magic card is fully formed!
Dak resisted the urge to conduct experiments there. He first cleaned up the traces of the laboratory and then returned the key to Professor Cazell.
Finally, he rushed back to his bedroom and took out the Sorting Card, Eevee, Pride 1, and this new Pride card.
If you add that "Happy Card" to the mix, that's all the magic cards he currently owns!
Generally speaking, experiments require comparisons.
But after looking at "Pride 1" for a while, Dark put it down again and prepared to experiment directly with the new "Pride".
He then chose between the Sorting Card and Eevee!, picking up the Sorting Card first.
"Sorting Cards" are high-level magic cards distributed by the academy. They are well-made and not easily damaged.
As a familiar, Impmon is more durable than the Magic Spirit (a type of plant).
Dak took a deep breath.
"In the name of Dark Demon, summon the familiar!"
Dark held the Sorting Card between his index and middle fingers and activated the Summoning Spell!
As magic power was greatly depleted, a six-pointed star magic circle appeared.
The little demon beast crawled pitifully out of the magic circle, knowing that tonight would be another difficult night.

Chapter 33 The Certified Trademark of the Pride Series Magic Cards
"Magic Summoning!"
Dark held the "Pride" magic card between his index and middle fingers and gently swiped it in front of him to activate the "Summoning Spell"!
In an instant.
A beam of black and gold light suddenly shot out!
The sheer size of the beam was something Dark had never anticipated.
The little devil beast, crouching on the desk with its head in its hands, also looked astonished.
But the black light seemed to have cruise guidance, hitting the little devilmon's forehead with perfect accuracy!
"what!"
Impmon let out a painful scream, as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer. It flew backward and crashed into the wall with a "thud," sliding down as if dead, leaving a mark on the wall.
The bedroom fell silent instantly.
Dark's lips twitched, but he just stared quietly at the motionless little Devimon.
Half a minute later, the little devilmon quietly opened its eyes, then casually flapped its wings and stood up, a haughty expression on its face: "What a filthy environment. Stifled air, forgotten ashes, unwashed souls, it's as if staying here even a moment longer would cause you to contract barrenness. Do you know what you did wrong? You lacked the awareness of a human servant, failing to offer your great master the finest silver cutlery and the most delicious blood."
Dark couldn't help but retort, "What kind of vampire are you?"
Impmon shook its head slightly: "Vampire? No, please do not equate such a lowly species with me. I am the great, bright star, the son of the morning. I will rise to the heavens and raise my throne above the stars of the gods. I will sit on the mountain of assembly, at the northernmost point. I will ascend above the high clouds, and I will be equal with the Most High. However, you will fall to the underworld, to the deepest depths of the pit."
"Has my chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) gotten even worse?"
"It is now certain that excessive arrogance has the potential to damage the brain," Duck wrote in his notebook.
……
He then automatically blocked out the noise of the little devilmon and carefully examined its changes.
The most obvious feature is the skull pattern on its forehead, which turned into a strange red mark after being struck by the black light of "arrogance".
It appeared to be a unique coat of arms, with a seal shaped like the character "屮" in the very center and a circle symbol above it.
The outer ring of the coat of arms is a band of English text:
level-666
system:lucifer
code:pride
Below the seal, on the inner circle of the coat of arms, is written:
caution!purgatory level 1……
After thinking for a moment, Dak copied the entire emblem down and then translated it.
Outer ring:
Level -666
System: Lucifer
Password: Pride
Inner circle:
Warning! Inferno Level 1...
Although he didn't quite understand 666 and the other two symbols, Dak roughly understood that it was most likely a coat of arms representing "arrogance".
"In other words, this new 'Pride' spell card grants Impmon the certification of pride!"
"But what else? It can't just be a watermark, can it?"
Dark picked up the little devil beast with its head facing upwards and made it face the wall it had shot at before and shoot "mini darts" again.
"How dare you humiliate my pride? Tai! Release me from my bonds!"
"Miniature darts!"
"do not want!"
Despite verbal resistance, Devimon's body faithfully obeyed its master's commands.
Three shark-head syringes rapidly materialized from beneath its wings and shot violently towards the wall!
"Puff puff!"
Three syringes were simultaneously plunged into the wall.
Next to the original three points, three deeper and larger points were projected!
"It's become more powerful!"
Dak was somewhat surprised.
This new "Pride" card not only withstood the injection of three points of "Pride," but also received a significant boost.
"Alright, let's name it 'Pride 2' for now!"
Familiars are different from magical spirits; they cannot display their data in the form of cards.
But there's no doubt that Devimon's strength has improved, and it might no longer be a useless one-star monster.
"Perhaps we should experiment with Eevee first."
……
About thirteen minutes later, the "Pride" crest on Little Devimon's forehead gradually faded, turning back into the white skull it had been before.
The moment it regained its senses, Little Devimon immediately flapped its wings and took flight, muttering to itself in a daze, "Hey, how come it's already six o'clock? I'd better go to the cafeteria and get something to eat. I can't let my dear master go hungry..."
Dark: "..."
……
While eating the takeout brought by Little Lick Warcraft and reading books on emotion research, Dark quietly waited for the "Pride 2" cooldown to end.
As a result, we waited for a full three hours!
The long cooldown made Dark gradually realize that this "Pride 2" might not be perfect.
"The problem likely lies in the quality of the blank magic cards and the materials used in their creation. Perhaps the transmutation circle configuration is also slightly flawed?"
"While this 'Pride 2' card looks at least usable, its excessively long cooldown prevents it from being used a second time in the same match, or even on the same day!"
"I can try to refine it, or make a few more as spares, but formal tournaments usually have a limit on the number of cards in a deck..."
"But it also shows that three points of 'arrogance' should be the limit that a blank magic card worth 10 credits can withstand."
After recording the results of the experiment, Dark picked up "Pride 2" again.
This time, the subject of the experiment was naturally Eevee.
Eevee, summoned from "Eevee: Monster Hunter," adorably opened its eyes and tilted its head slightly: "Eevee?"
Dark Deemon, the evil demon god bloodline possessor, mercilessly extended his wicked hands towards the adorable little Eevee!
"Magic Summoning!"
Swipe card → Evolve → No. ( )
After being hit by the beam of "Pride 2", a red "Pride" emblem also appeared on Eevee's forehead.
The emblem did not appear out of place; on the contrary, it made it even more alluring.
The adorable Eevee just moments before instantly became arrogant, no longer showing any respect to its owner, Dark. Leaving only its rear end visible, it looked down at the tranquil night view outside the window.
Dark wasn't surprised; he simply picked up "Fantastic Beast: Eevee" and checked its data.
Card Name: Magical Beast
[Type: Spirit Card]
【grade:】
[Race: Bird-Beast]
【属性：一般系】
【Magic Power: 500】

"Although there was no evolution, there was a definite improvement in the stats. There weren't many other changes, except that... there's one more skill!"
→【Ultimate Skill: Round Pupils】
→【Round Eyes: Eevee glares arrogantly at its opponent, making them feel defeated and lowering their attack power.】
"So, it changed from a blue card to a purple card?"
……
"Wait, does this mean that Impmon has also gained an extra skill thanks to Pride 2?"
……
Divine Skill: All Recommendations Return to the Source!
Chapter 34 Darkdemon Doesn't Understand the Darkness of Night
Dark wasn't stupid enough to stay up all night waiting for the "Pride 2" CD to expire.
As I woke up in the early morning, the dim light filtered through the pattern of the curtains, casting dappled patterns.
Dark fired "Pride 2" at the blinking little Devimon.
