Konoha: Naruto will win no matter what choice he makes! Chapter 055

Looking at the Little Devil Beast with a flushed face, making “yiyi wuwu” sounds, Dak couldn’t help but wipe a cold sweat.

“That was close!”

“It’s great to have the Little Devil Beast here!”

Dak quickly picked up his notebook to record the effect.

This Flower Card had clearly undergone a qualitative change, and based on the power bonus of the Flower Card itself, it should be even more significant than the effect of [Pride I].

“Temporarily record it as [Ecstasy I].”

“From its manifestation, it’s at least the ultimate version of the [Joy Card], and just a wisp of its aura leaking out can make the Little Devil Beast fall into ecstasy and be unable to extricate itself.”

“But why did the Apricot Blossom Card succeed while the Red Plum Blossom Card failed, even with the same processing method?”

“Is it because of the different flower types?”

“That would be a bit too subjective.”

Dak wrote in his notebook: Perhaps apricot blossoms are more compatible with [Ecstasy].

To prove this conclusion, he needed to do more experiments.

But before that, he needed to thoroughly study [Ecstasy I].

Dak pulled [Fantasy Beast: Eevee] from his card pack and summoned Little Eevee.

“Bui~”

Eevee-chan tilted her head and looked at him.

Dak felt a moment of reluctance, but finally steeled his heart and issued the command.

Eevee-chan, whose intelligence level had reached 2.5, couldn’t help but show a hint of resentment, but still jumped onto the table and pressed her paw pad onto the pink Flower Card.

A wisp of mist overflowed from the Flower Card. Eevee slightly narrowed her eyes, a blush appeared on her cheeks, and her body swayed slightly.

But she didn’t pass out from joy like the Little Devil Beast.

After two more taps, there was no more mist coming from the Flower Card.

Dak concluded: It should just be the aura leaking out during the refining process.

So he first tried touching it with a magic pen, then with his own hand, and finally held the Flower Card in his hand.

About a few minutes later.

The Little Devil Beast slowly woke up, but as it finally managed to lift its head, it saw that despicable Eevee softly lying in its master’s arms, licking his fingers.

Immediately after, it saw the pink card in its master’s other hand, and instantly closed its eyes and played dead!

“Magic Summon!”

Dak activated [Ecstasy I] for the first time.

In an instant.

A faint light appeared on [Ecstasy I], and pink petals suddenly swarmed out, no longer in the shape of apricot blossoms, but a completely unfamiliar flower of ecstasy.

These petals turned into a thin mist upon contact with the air and, following the magical instructions, rushed towards the feigning Little Devil Beast!

“Wah!”

The Little Devil Beast screamed and was completely enveloped by the pink mist!

Then, a panting Little Devil Beast appeared on Dak’s head…

Afterwards, experiments were conducted with Eevee-chan, finally yielding the experimental results.

The effect of [Ecstasy I] was significantly stronger than [Pride I], but slightly weaker than [Pride II].

The duration was about 15 minutes, longer than [Pride I], and the cooldown was shorter, only 30 minutes.

Preliminary estimates suggested that this [Ecstasy I] had probably reached the limit that a single drop of deadly sin could achieve.

Additionally, after Eevee-chan returned to normal, her intelligence level increased to 3.0.

The Little Devil Beast’s status was impossible to determine.

…

Dak contentedly recorded all the data.

And paused the experiment.

In the afternoon, he once again used the Magic Brain dropper to extract a drop of [Pride], trying to place the tip of the dropper near the Cat Grass’s mouth, but the Cat Grass seemed completely uninterested in the dropper and refused to suck even a single bit.

Dak didn’t want to waste it, so he re-injected this drop of [Pride] into the Bug Branch.

Unexpectedly, the Cat Grass seemed to suddenly smell something fishy, meowing and pouncing on it to suck it up.

Then, the tender sprout on its head grew visibly!

Dak observed and recorded, feeling exceptionally delighted.

Seventeen minutes after the Cat Grass had completely absorbed that drop of [Pride], the tender sprout on its head stopped growing, but it had already grown into a small flower bud!

…

By Saturday afternoon, Dak once again extracted a drop of [Pride] and injected it into the Bug Branch.

The Cat Grass, as always, used its two paw pads to cling to the Bug Branch’s head, sucking forcefully!

The flower bud on its head also grew larger and larger!

Gradually, it even grew to the point of being about to bloom!

Dak excitedly recorded the data: “At this rate, one more drop should make it bloom, and two more, perhaps it could bear fruit!”

But after recording, he suddenly realized that his quota for [Pride] this month had been used up, and he immediately deflated.

“Meow~”

“Meow meow meow!”

…

In a blink of an eye, it was Monday morning.

The young magic apprentices, who had rested for two and a half days, once again plunged into their busy daily studies.

In the first summoning class, Professor Silf finally began to teach one of the advanced techniques of normal summoning—Sacrifice Summoning!

Sacrifice Summoning was a special summoning technique born from the extremely long summoning time of four-star and above magic spirits.

Magic spirit cards were divided by star level: the first three stars were the first tier, four to six stars were the second tier, seven to nine stars were the third tier, and above nine stars was the fourth tier.

With each tier ascended, the casting time and cooldown of normal summoning would increase by one level.

Normal summoning time for the first three stars could be compressed to a maximum of 3 seconds.

For the fourth star, it would require at least 1 minute.

For the seventh star, it would require at least 30 minutes.

For above nine stars, it would start at 3 hours, and some magic spirits even required days or nights, or even months of continuous casting to be summoned!

In the early stages of magic technology development, even if magic masters possessed high-level magic spirit cards, it was difficult to summon them in direct combat.

Every time a high-tier magic spirit was summoned, a large number of personnel were required for protection.

It wasn’t until about thirty years ago that a special summoning technique, whose origin was unknown, came into prominence. Magic masters could summon higher-tier magic spirits by sacrificing lower-tier magic spirits, successfully shortening the summoning time.

However, each sacrifice would cause irreparable damage to the lower-tier magic spirit card.

It wasn’t until modern times that this technology was innovated, no longer causing damage to lower-level magic spirit cards, and further shortening the time for sacrifice summoning, officially named “Sacrifice Summoning.”

The core of Sacrifice Summoning lay in the accumulation of star levels.

✪ + ✪ = ✪✪

✪✪ + ✪✪ = ✪✪✪✪

✪ + ✪✪ + ✪✪✪✪ = ✪✪✪✪✪✪✪

It was simply the accumulation of star levels, regardless of the number of cards.

The necessary principle was that to summon a third-tier magic spirit, there must be at least one second-tier magic spirit among the sacrifices, and so on.

…

Professor Silf demonstrated in class, taking a total of 15 seconds to summon a six-star magic spirit, astonishing the young magic apprentices.

Sacrifice Summoning and normal summoning shared the same cooldown, with the shortest casting time and shortest cooldown also being 3 seconds.

…

It was also at this time that Dak realized his 8-second summoning time was far from enough.

“Don’t be arrogant or impatient!”

Just as he was skillfully daydreaming, he suddenly noticed that Witt, who was also sitting in the back row, seemed off.

→ He was holding a Flower Card and shining it on people?
