Chapter 714 “Request for Subscription” The Son of the Stump (6k)
The moment he saw the pink fluffy rabbit, Dark was somewhat surprised.
Because this rabbit was indeed too cute.
It stood on a small stump, its ears erect but not particularly long, instead being somewhat round. The white fur around its neck formed a heart shape, its whole body round and plump, with short limbs and a tail like a fluffy ball, giving off a fairy-tale-like dreamy aura.
For a moment, he couldn’t recall what kind of Mana Spirit this was, and his first thought was the idiom “waiting by the stump for a rabbit.”
“It looks a bit clumsy…”
Muttering softly, Dark turned to look at the other information on the card.
Firstly, he felt somewhat disappointed because this pink fluffy rabbit was only a two-star Mana Spirit. He had originally thought it would be at least three stars.
However, even two-star Mana Spirits had their uses. A two-star Mana Spirit combined with a three-star Mana Spirit could be used for a sacrificial summon to create a five-star Mana Spirit.
Dark scanned the card and then looked at the stats of this pink fluffy rabbit—the most critical information that could be seen directly from the card.
Then, his face visibly showed surprise.
“A two-star Mana Spirit with a defense of 2100 points?”
“If we consider just the defense, it’s only 100 points lower than ‘Huhu’!”
The defense of a two-star Mana Spirit should be within 1000 points, but this pink fluffy rabbit’s defense was more than double that.
This meant that this Mana Spirit had extremely strong survivability, even if other aspects were lacking, it could still serve as a decent sacrifice.
Of course, as a gold card with four ultimate skills, there were many more surprises waiting to be discovered.
Dark immediately injected mana to get the feedback.
[Card Name: Fairy Tale Animal? Little Rabbit]
[Type: Elemental Card]
[Level: ??]
[Race: Avian-beast Kin]
[Attribute: Ground Attribute]
[Mana: 1000]
[Attack: 0]
[Defense: 2100]
[Ultimate Skills: Stump, Call Friends, Fairy Tale Animal? Family Bond, Fairy Tale Armed.]
Although it was only a two-star Mana Spirit, the sum of the stats of this “Fairy Tale Animal? Little Rabbit” equaled those of “Huhu.”
With 0 attack, “Fairy Tale Animal? Little Rabbit” had 100 more mana points than “Huhu.”
Of course, the value of “Huhu” far exceeded the panel data.
Moreover, the attributes of “Fairy Tale Animal? Little Rabbit” surprised Dark.
He looked at the card of “Fairy Tale Animal? Little Rabbit,” originally thinking it was a Fairy-type Mana Spirit card, but to his surprise, it turned out to be a Ground-type.
Ground-type, Rock-type, Steel-type, etc., were easily associated with high defense attributes, which actually fit well.
Dark pondered for a moment and then injected more mana to view the ultimate skills of “Fairy Tale Animal? Little Rabbit.”
“The first ultimate skill is… Stump?”
“What a plain name for an ultimate skill…”
Dark instinctively made a comment, then focused his attention on it.
[Stump: Summon a stump, the little rabbit’s favorite stump, often climbs up to look around. Additional Effect: Son of the Stump.]
“What kind of ultimate skill is this! Is it a Ground version of ‘Water Splash Leap’?”
[Son of the Stump: As long as the little rabbit stands on the stump, it can continuously gain mana.]
“What is this Son of the Stump!”
Dark’s eyebrows twitched, finally understanding the strength of “Stump.”
The description of the “Stump” ultimate skill immediately reminded him of someone who could absorb the power of the earth just by standing on the ground, and then he thought of “Phoenix Girl” Phoenix.
Phoenix, who also had a skill called “Unextinguishable Flame,” which granted her infinite mana.
As a “Son of the Stump,” although “Fairy Tale Animal? Little Rabbit” had the condition of “standing on the stump,” it could still produce effects comparable to “Unextinguishable Flame” if utilized properly.
In a simple battle, the weight and strength of “Fairy Tale Animal? Little Rabbit” might limit its performance.
— It would be hard for it to stay on the stump all the time.
“Let’s see the next ultimate skill.”
Like any ultimate skill, there are always pros and cons. How effective it is depends on how the Magus utilizes it.
Dark continued injecting mana and soon received further feedback.
[Call Friends: When the little rabbit encounters danger and falls from the stump, it can summon a recorded, no higher than three-star, bird-beast kin Mana Spirit besides “Fairy Tale Animal? Little Rabbit.”]
“Special summon?”
Dark’s heart stirred as he carefully discerned.
“Is it similar to ‘Relay,’ where Mana Spirits can be summoned from the deck?”
“If limited to bird-beast kin and the first tier, can’t you summon Eevee?”
Thinking about it, Dark couldn’t help but show a peculiar expression.
The bird-beast kin Mana Spirits in his hand that were no higher than three stars were not many.
Just three [Magical Beast: Eevee], three [Magical Beast: Fantasy Sheep], one “Piplup,” one “Wrestler Eagle,” one “Meow,” one “Demon Fox Beast,” and one “Little Cubone.”
Well, that’s all!
Of course, once he summons [Magical Beast: Eevee], he can naturally choose any other first-tier Mana Spirits.
Dark paused slightly, and a myriad of tactical ideas flooded his mind.
He squinted and looked at the next ultimate skill.
“The third ultimate skill is… ‘Fairy Tale Animal? Family Bond’!”
[Fairy Tale Animal? Family Bond: When there are three different types of Fairy Tale Animals, trigger family bond, special summon (Fairy Tale Animal? Mammy).]
“Another ultimate skill that involves special summoning… What type of Mana Spirit will [Fairy Tale Animal? Mammy] be?”
“From this, it seems that ‘Fairy Tale Animal’ is a series. I wonder how to forge other Fairy Tale Animals.”
Dark pondered while injecting mana but did not obtain information about [Fairy Tale Animal? Mammy], so he gave up.
“If I can forge other Fairy Tale Animals, using ‘Call Friends’ should make it easy to gather three Fairy Tale Animals. For now, I don’t know how to forge them.”
Dark composed himself and looked at the last ultimate skill.
The first three ultimate skills had already highlighted the tone of this “Fairy Tale Animal? Little Rabbit,” but this fourth ultimate skill elevated it even further.
[Fairy Tale Armed: (Fairy Tale Animal? Little Rabbit) can summon and drive any vehicle-type
Armed, summoning armed requires prior recording, with a count of 1. The armed summoned can only be driven by a (fairy tale animal? bunny rabbit).
Dark couldn’t help but blink, injecting mana again to verify, finally confirming he hadn’t been mistaken.
“Vehicle-type armed, I wonder if the ‘Light Emissary’ counts?”
He shook the golem card in his hand, lowering his head in thought.
“But if it’s the ‘Light Emissary’, with just 1000 points of mana for the bunny, what can it do? It can’t stand on a stump.”
“Could this be the legendary useless skill?”
“That’s not right either. If a vehicle-type armed capable of producing mana on its own could be created, this ‘Fairy Tale Armed’ would instantly transform into a divine skill.”
“But before that, it seems to be useless like the ‘Fairy Tale Animal? Family Bond’.”
Dark raised his head slightly, then picked up a pen, recording each piece of information he had obtained one by one. Only after putting down the pen did he pick up the ‘Fairy Tale Animal? Bunny Rabbit’ again, preparing to summon it once more to take a look.
“In the name of Dark Demon, Mana Summoning — ‘Fairy Tale Animal? Bunny Rabbit’!”
With the light of the summoning, a super cute pink fluffy rabbit crawled out from the card.
Before it landed, Dark reached out swiftly, catching it. The pink fluffy rabbit’s short legs were kicking in the air.
“Mii… Mii!”
The pink fluffy rabbit let out an anxious call, its two small paws flailing.
Dark couldn’t help but reveal a mischievous smile, putting the rabbit down after a long while—then the pink fluffy rabbit ignored him!
The golem created by the “Capital Sin Fruit” had intelligence from birth.
The sulking little rabbit turned its fur ball towards its owner, crossing its tiny hands as if in anger.
Dark looked around and found no carrots in the room, so he casually picked up an apple and put it in its hand.
“Mii!”
The bunny holding the apple looked puzzled, then took a bite with a “crunch,” finally showing a “I forgive you” expression.
Dark then held it in his arms, playing with it.
After a moment, when only the core of the apple was left, Dark put it down again, commanding it to use its ultimate skill.
First, of course, the “stump”!
“Mii.”
“Fairy Tale Animal? Bunny Rabbit” turned around, facing him, then spread its two legs wide, letting out a very authoritative cry.
“Puff!”
Suddenly, a stump appeared under its feet, elevating it like a stool.
“Hmmph.”
It immediately lifted its head, hands on hips, showing a smug expression.
Dark rubbed his nose, pondering how to measure the extent of “unending mana.”
“Fairy Tale Animal? Bunny Rabbit” then climbed down from the stump with a “heave ho.”
Then it opened its wings and “mimi” called out.
But nothing happened…
Several question marks appeared above Dark’s head.
“Fairy Tale Animal? Bunny Rabbit” called out urgently a few more times, but still, nothing happened.
It became anxious, calling out “mimi” even more frequently.
“It doesn’t seem very smart…”
Dark actually noticed what it was doing at this point, but didn’t explain.
The second ultimate skill of “Fairy Tale Animal? Bunny Rabbit” is “Call Friends,” which can summon friends to help in dangerous situations.
But now it seemed that encountering danger simply meant falling off the stump.
Since it hadn’t recorded any “friends” beforehand, naturally nothing could be summoned.
“Mimimi!”
The not-so-smart bunny seemed to finally catch onto something from the teasing look on its owner’s face. It called out urgently a few more times, then suddenly grabbed the stump on the ground, exerting force to lift it up!
Dark’s eyes widened in astonishment.
Leaving aside the fact that the “Fairy Tale Animal? Bunny Rabbit” has an attack power of 0 and should be weak… could it actually move the stump?
He instinctively reached out, grabbing the stump.
Then his hands suddenly felt heavy, personally feeling the weight of the stump!
“No, wait.”
A few logical thoughts flashed through his mind. Dark let go, allowing the “Fairy Tale Animal? Bunny Rabbit” to put down the stump, then waved his hand, clearing the chair for it to lift.
Afterward, even if the “Fairy Tale Animal? Bunny Rabbit” exerted all its strength, it couldn’t lift the entire chair.
“Is it because the stump is part of its body, allowing it to lift it easily?”
Dark had an epiphany, followed by a flood of ideas.
His eyes gleamed as he picked up the “Fairy Tale Animal? Bunny Rabbit” card, patiently waiting for it to start consuming mana automatically after a few minutes.
When the mana dropped below 500 points, he made it stand on… no, grab the stump! With its front legs!
Then, the “Fairy Tale Animal? Bunny Rabbit”’s mana instantly refilled in one second!
This recovery speed of mana, identical to the “Unextinguished Flame,” left Dark astonished.
The subsequent thoughts that arose made him look at the “Fairy Tale Animal? Bunny Rabbit” as if it were a monster.
— How could it not be a monster?
Rabbits have four legs.
Although “Fairy Tale Animal? Bunny Rabbit” has always stood on its hind legs, it is an avian-beast kin, with its two “hands” actually being legs.
So, if it summons the stump and fixes it vertically on the wall, standing on the stump with its two “legs,” does that count as standing?
This is essentially the same concept as grabbing the stump with its front legs.
Regardless of whether this logic is correct or not, the fact remains that it is useful…
This “Fairy Tale Animal? Bunny Rabbit,” just by grabbing the stump, can obtain unending mana!
Moreover, the defense of the stump should be equivalent to itself.
In its hands, it becomes as solid as a wooden shield.
Thus, there is no need to worry about it being knocked off the stump.
Further speculation.
If it can grab the stump with its front legs, then how about when it’s driving a vehicle-type armed?
As long as it brings the stump into the vehicle, it can also obtain unending mana.
This means it has the ability to wear permanent armor like the Phoenix!
The terror of this ability goes without saying.
Just thinking about it here, Dark couldn’t help but sigh.
When he first created this pink fluffy rabbit card, he never imagined it would be such a powerful divine card!
With this pink fluffy rabbit, the “Golem King? Light Emissary” finally has a place to shine.
And if he could further refine alchemy…
Above, he had achieved something significant, successfully manufacturing a vehicle-type armed unit like a Gundam, which also meant he had a pilot.
At this exciting thought, Dak suddenly picked up the little rabbit and kissed it hard, making a “smacking” sound.
The little rabbit was stunned for a moment, then turned its face away, the original blush on its cheeks becoming even redder.
…
Dak naturally did not attempt to summon the “Magical King? Light Emissary” in his dormitory.
Since the other magical golems except Huhu were not in the dormitory, he entrusted the little rabbit to Huhu’s care—after all, the “Tree Son” had an endless supply of mana.
As for himself, he quickly began the second conjuration as planned.
Although the first conjuration failed to produce the “Moon Beast,” the “Fairy Tale Animal? Little Rabbit” still possessed terrifying potential, which could be considered extremely lucky.
Therefore, when he started the second conjuration, he couldn’t help but worry that his luck might run out.
However, when he brought the Bunny Grass to the balcony, he put this concern out of his mind.
A single “Bliss Fruit” was enough to pull the lower limit of the magical golem conjuration very high.
He basically couldn’t conjure useless magical golems.
Ultimately, the result would only be between powerful and very powerful.
So he soon cultivated a second “Bliss Fruit? Moon” and inserted it into Huhu’s body.
Just then, he noticed that Bunny Grass showed obvious signs of fatigue.
This made him realize that such unrestrained cultivation of “Bliss Fruit? Moon” would actually have a negative impact on the health of Bunny Grass.
When cultivating “Capital Sin Fruit” before, he always paid attention to feeding them at different times, taking into account the condition of the Cat Grass.
Today, he was indeed a bit hasty.
“After this experiment, I’ll wait until later to cultivate another one.”
With this thought, Dak began preparing the materials needed for the conjuration.
There weren’t many parts from a rabbit, besides the eyes, generally the teeth, ears, and sometimes the mana concentrated in the fur, or some magical crystals born within the rabbit’s body.
These magical crystals were relatively rare.
Dak spent some credits to buy two or three magical crystals.
Of course, the magical crystals available in ordinary shops were not particularly precious high-grade materials.
This time, he selected a “Fantasy Rabbit Crystal” and decided to use the “Avian-beast Kin – Fairy Type” conjuration method.
The compatibility between “Bliss” and “Fairy Type” was already very high.
Even if he couldn’t conjure the “Moon Beast,” it would at least increase the probability of producing high-quality magical golem cards.
Once “Huhu” squeezed the “Bliss Fruit? Moon” into juice, he immediately began the experiment.
…
In the middle of the experiment, he suddenly noticed “Fairy Tale Animal? Little Rabbit” standing on a stump and mimi-ing at “Huhu.” It looked as if it were giving a grand speech.
Since he couldn’t understand what it was saying, Dak didn’t pay much more attention.
Teacher “Huhu” seemed not to understand either, but it didn’t stop it from continuing to “listen” and casually picked up a drawing board to sketch the posture of “Fairy Tale Animal? Little Rabbit.”
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Dak successfully conjured the second magical golem card.
Perhaps his luck really ran out today, because he found that this magical golem card only emitted an orange glow.
“It’s an orange card,” Dak muttered with some regret, then washed it clean, dried it with a towel, and carefully examined it.
—It wasn’t the “Moon Goddess.”
But there was plenty of time, and there were many “Moon Goddess Bliss,” so he wasn’t in a hurry.
Dak looked at the card surface, and what met his eyes was… another pink fluffy rabbit!
…
After conjuring another pink fluffy rabbit, Dak couldn’t help twitching his lips.
He suddenly worried that if he never conjured the “Moon Goddess,” he might end up conjuring a bunch of pink fluffy rabbits.
The thought of a horde of pink fluffy rabbits taking over his dormitory or clubroom made him shudder.
“I shouldn’t…”
Dak shook his head forcefully, forcing himself to focus on the second “pink fluffy rabbit” in his hand.
Oh, its name was “Adorable Beast” (Cute Beast).
“Adorable Beast?”
Although he didn’t remember having such a digital monster, the XX Beast naming format was common among digital monsters.
Dak’s eyes gradually brightened.
If it was a digital monster, it meant that this “Adorable Beast” must have a higher evolutionary form!
He then looked at the other information presented on the card.
“Race, Fairy Type? Not Avian-beast Kin?”
Dak frowned deeply.
Using the “Avian-beast Kin – Fairy Type” basic conjuration method, the final result was not an Avian-beast Kin, but a Fairy Type?
And this pink fluffy rabbit, wasn’t it a rabbit?
This thought flashed by, and Dak continued to read further.
“Attribute, Fairy Type. Level… two stars? Or two stars? Whatever.”
“Stats… Attack and Defense are both 0??”
A sense of foreboding instantly appeared in Dak’s mind.
Then he immediately injected mana to try to obtain more detailed information.
[Card Name: Adorable Beast (Cute Beast)]
[Type: Elemental Card]
[Level: ??]
[Race: Fairy Type]
[Attribute: Fairy Type]
[Mana: 1000]
[Attack: 0]
[Defense: 0]
[Ultimate Skills: Wound Heal, Instant Heal, Proper Heal]
“What the heck?”
More question marks popped up in Dak’s mind.
“Adorable Beast” is a fairy-type digital monster that looks like a rabbit.
It lives in cold regions, is timid but likes pranks, and has abundant energy.
Those things that look like rabbit ears are actually special sensory organs with extremely strong perception abilities.
It usually wears headphones, wraps a red scarf, wears red leather boots, is named Cute, and its feature is cuteness; aside from being cute, it is otherwise useless—not quite.
Dak didn’t know that “Adorable Beast” is the only digital monster in the Digital World that has only healing capabilities and no attack capabilities!
Of course, after reading its attribute panel, even if he didn’t know before, he now understood it roughly.
He steadied himself, injected more mana, and examined the three ultimate skills of “Adorable Beast.”
These three ultimate skills, as their names suggest, were all healing-type ultimate skills!
From “Wound Heal” to “Instant Heal,” and then to “Proper Heal,” they obviously became progressively stronger, with each healing effect better than the last!
