Chapter 927: The Giant’s Sword, Fossil Sword Beast (9k)
—
These two ultimate skills were derived from a hero in a game called [Dota2].
If he remembered correctly, the hero’s name was [Visage].
The Necrolord Visage had two companion gargoyles, and if it leveled up, it could obtain a third gargoyle!
Inheriting two key ultimate skills from Visage, the Fossil Wing Dragon successfully developed the abilities of the Necrolord Visage with the help of the Mountain Giant’s Sword, obtaining two gargoyles as well.
And the Mountain Giant’s Sword gained rebirth by utilizing the third gargoyle!
Most of the gargoyle’s abilities were inherited from its main body, possessing [Fossil Skin (Tomb Guard Cloak)], able to transform into a stone statue, and use [Silent Tomb].
But how exactly, one needed to further examine the information on this magic card, the Fossil Wing Dragon.
Dark was more interested in what changes the Mountain Giant’s Sword had undergone.
“I know you’ve already woken up,” he said as he approached one of the small stone statues, speaking immediately.
After a slight tremble, that small stone statue slowly opened its eyes.
Dark looked at it and said, “You have now fully transformed into a dragon.”
“No.” Unexpectedly, the Mountain Giant’s Sword spoke directly, using the language of humans in this era!
Dark didn’t delve too deeply into why, but he asked curiously, “Do you still retain the power of the Holy Sword in this form?”
The Mountain Giant’s Sword’s eyes flashed, suddenly turning toward an empty space. The ground shook as sharp rocks resembling swords instantly shot out from beneath the ground, piercing the sky like a giant sword!
Dark narrowed his eyes, muttering, “This feels a bit like [Sharp Stone Attack], but it’s more like… [Cliff Edge Sword]?”
The so-called [Cliff Edge Sword] was a signature move of the legendary Pokémon [Groudon], known as the [Earth Incarnation].
However, [Groudon]’s [Cliff Edge Sword] was of the Ground type and wrapped in high-temperature lava, causing a violent explosion upon hitting the target.
That was slightly different from the rock-type ultimate skill displayed by the Mountain Giant’s Sword.
Dark knew something was up and asked, “Is that all?”
“Of course not.”
The Mountain Giant’s Sword let out a deep voice, its entire body stretching out.
Its body, identical to the Fossil Wing Dragon, first spread its wings and then retracted them, with layers of rock appearing on its skin, enveloping its body.
Underneath the rocky covering, it transformed into a massive sword about three meters long.
Compared to its original sword form, this “three-meter sword” naturally didn’t fit the word “giant.”
But for humans, it was just within the limits of control.
However, when the Mountain Giant’s Sword transformed into a sword shape, Dark immediately turned his gaze to the other two small Fossil Wing Dragons still in their stone statue forms.
Since the Mountain Giant’s Sword could use [Cliff Edge Sword] and transform into a sword, there was no reason the two Fossil Wing Dragons born alongside it wouldn’t be able to do the same.
This thought flashed through his mind.
Dark extended his hand toward the Mountain Giant’s Sword. Actually, when the eggshell cracked, he felt something.
Although the Mountain Giant’s Sword was different from the two small Fossil Wing Dragons and wasn’t a Golem, it had obtained rebirth through the Fossil Wing Dragon, inevitably creating some connection with Dark. Moreover, Dark felt vaguely that it could manipulate this Holy Sword!
He spread his fingers, gripping the hilt.
A heavy, solid force suddenly surged into his arm.
Almost instinctively, Dark activated the channels within him, spreading his mana throughout his body, barely managing to grasp the enormous sword!
Not long ago, he had successfully opened his fourth chakra, achieving a minor breakthrough.
But even so, he found himself unable to wield the Mountain Giant’s Sword freely.
“Giant’s Sword, it really does require a giant to use it?” Dark’s mind flashed with Aurora’s image, but he quickly thought, “But if it evolves into the Moon Goddess, it should be able to use it flexibly.”
He added another hand, holding the sword with both hands, and then focused his mind to sense it.
Moments later, he let out a roar and slashed at the empty space!
This slash was powerful, and the tip of the sword uncontrollably pierced the ground. However, he successfully triggered the Holy Sword power within the Mountain Giant’s Sword!
Since acquiring the Holy Sword, he had never activated its power before, and now he felt inexplicably excited.
From where the sword entered, the ground suddenly cracked, and sword-shaped rocks continuously shot out from underground. The farther away, the larger they became, reaching over ten meters in height after several dozen meters!
One of these sword-shaped boulders shot straight for the sky, exuding a powerful aura that seemed to pierce the heavens.
Dark felt elated, his mind racing with thoughts.
At this moment, he finally realized that he had a hint of the [Hero Qualities]!
As his bond deepened, the talents of Deoxys, Lion Beast, and Agumon were shared with him, giving him a little bit of the Hero Qualities.
Though this quality was insufficient to control other Holy Swords, this Mountain Giant’s Sword was clearly different.
Perhaps it was due to its advanced nature? In any case, it was undoubtedly the strongest Holy Sword Dark had seen so far! As long as the user’s strength was sufficient, they could wield the Mountain Giant’s Sword to perform earth-shattering feats.
After testing the sword, Dark used it to stab into the ground and stepped back. “It seems our compatibility is pretty good?”
The Mountain Giant’s Sword hummed in response, indicating it couldn’t make sounds while in sword form.
After a while, the Mountain Giant’s Sword returned to its Fossil Wing Dragon form.
Dark was sure it had no ill intentions and said gently, “How about it? If you have nowhere to go, why don’t you follow me?”
The Mountain Giant’s Sword replied directly, “I had this intention.” “Great,” Dark couldn’t help but smile. “We will surely become a perfect pair.”
Obtaining the recognition of a Holy Sword wasn’t as difficult as he thought.
Dark turned to the Fossil Wing Dragon and said, “It’s your turn, wake up!”
The newly born two small Fossil Wing Dragons had no consciousness, so Dark needed to use the Greed’s Sin Card to awaken them.
Overall, the two small Fossil Wing Dragons and Draconic Ballet’s two Draconic Arrows were relatively independent entities.
Although they were on the same magic card, they possessed different consciousnesses. Moreover, their star ratings weren’t low.
Though it sounded unbelievable, the two small Fossil Wing Dragons were also nine-star Golems!
They were genuine Fossil Wing Dragons, fitting the third tier reasonably, but Dark originally thought they might be seven-star or eight-star, not realizing they would be full nine-stars.
However, they still had gaps compared to the main body. First, in terms of attribute values.
Dark checked their stats briefly.
[Card Name: Fossil Wing Dragon (Sword Beast)][Type: Elemental Card]
[Level: 8][Race: Dragon]
[Attribute: Rock/Flying][Mana: 4000]
[Attack: 4500][Defense: 3000]
[Ultimate Skills: Ghost of Fossils, Sword Beast, Sharp Stone Attack, Destruction Ray (Ultimate Impact)]
In terms of attribute values, the Fossil Wing Dragon (Sword Beast)’s attack and defense were adjusted to normal levels, especially its abnormally high defense, which was restored to the usual 3000 points.
Among its ultimate skills, there were changes.
First, it retained the Ghost of Fossils, but lost Ancient Power.
Ancient Power was a core ultimate skill that allowed the Fossil Wing Dragon to unleash its potential. Without Ancient Power, these two small Fossil Wing Dragons could only be considered ordinary nine-star Golems.
Indeed, this was the case.
They lacked both Ancient Power and Silent Tomb.
However, for these two gargoyles, Silent Tomb was redundant anyway.
As long as they stayed close to the main Fossil Wing Dragon, they could enjoy the benefits of Silent Tomb.
But there were gains and losses.
Losing Ancient Power and Silent Tomb, the Fossil Wing Dragon (Sword Beast) gained a new ultimate skill called Sword Beast!
[Sword Beast: Born with the Fossil Wing Dragon, can transform into a rock sword when necessary. The wielder will gain Fossil Skin, stronger affinity with rock types, and a 50% attribute bonus from the Fossil Wing Dragon (Sword Beast), with increased mana consumption.]
—
Not a gargoyle, but a Sword Beast!
After transforming into a sword, the Fossil Wing Dragon (Sword Beast) not only grants the wielder Fossil Skin but also increases mana by 2000, attack by 2250, and defense by 1500.
Such comprehensive offensive and defensive enhancements would normally only appear on Armed.
Considering that Fossil Skin covers the entire body, it is essentially no different from Armed.
And it requires a similar cost, doubling the mana consumption!
Following Sword Beast, the Fossil Wing Dragon (Sword Beast)’s third ultimate skill is Sharp Stone Attack, and the fourth is General-type Destruction Ray and Ultimate Impact.
Why two ultimate skills?
Because the fourth ultimate skill of the two Fossil Wing Dragons (Sword Beasts) are different.
Destruction Ray is a magical attack, while Ultimate Impact is a physical attack.
Both ultimate skills are incredibly powerful and cause a thirty-second cooldown after use.
No big deal; these two Fossil Wing Dragons (Sword Beasts) were originally bonuses. Their ability to display the standard strength of a nine-star Golem is already quite impressive.
The real key lies in the main Fossil Wing Dragon.
The main Fossil Wing Dragon shows no significant change in panel data. First, there are no changes in attribute values.
Second, the ultimate skills are slightly adjusted.
Among them, Silent Tomb adds a synchronization effect to the Fossil Wing Dragon (Sword Beast), allowing the Fossil Wing Dragon (Sword Beast) to gain additional speed and critical hit bonuses when the main unit activates Silent Tomb.
Then, the strength of Sharp Stone Attack further increases, becoming akin to Cliff Edge Sword.
This is a considerable boost for the Fossil Wing Dragon. The synchronization of Silent Tomb allows the three Fossil Wing Dragons to execute a triple attack strategy, easily defeating opponents.
After reviewing the information, Dark had a good grasp of the strength of this newborn Fossil Wing Dragon.
The existence of Sword Beast completed the transformation of this magic card. The only regret was that the Sword Beast’s form was not a Holy Sword, but its attribute bonuses were high, not inferior to a Holy Sword.
Especially the effect of granting Fossil Skin to the wielder, which was truly surprising.
Moreover, from the current data, one could see the future form of this magic card.
Once the Fossil Wing Dragon gathers 100% Ancient Power and completes evolution, this magic card will transform into a Super Fossil Wing Dragon with two Fossil Wing Dragons (Sword Beasts), showcasing the ultimate boss style.
Half past eleven.
Dark and Professor Shylph finally exited the secret room. The progress of collecting Ancient Power for the Fossil Wing Dragon stopped at 56%, and in the final golden secret room, apart from the Mountain Giant’s Sword, there were no items with Ancient Power.
At this point, the Mountain Giant’s Sword had already transformed into the Fossil Wing Dragon form, walking behind them.
For the Mountain Giant’s Sword, the world had undergone tremendous changes, but fortunately, it had enough time to feel and adapt to this new world.
And for Dark and others, they had acquired a powerful ally.
At least, this morning’s hard work hadn’t been in vain!
Dark then parted ways with Professor Shylph at the principal’s office door and quickly returned to the dormitory.
The Mountain Giant’s Sword temporarily accompanied Professor Shylph. Dark soon arrived at the dormitory, quickly tidied up, and slung the scabbard onto his waist, shouldered his backpack, picked up his suitcase, and flew out from the balcony.
When the Imp Beast inside the room locked the window from the inside, Dark temporarily recalled it back into the Selection Card.
Then, he quickly rushed to the Dragon Training Grounds and landed swiftly. All fourteen people had finally gathered!
Professor Shylph threw him a piece of bread when she saw him. Dark bit into the bread and took a bag of Demeter’s Flower, hanging it on Xemi’s chest. Then, he ate the bread in three bites, filling his stomach.
“How do we plan to go?” he asked. There were no dragons on the Dragon Training Grounds.
“By carriage,” Professor Metia removed her hat and waved it lightly, and the pumpkin carriage flew out, quickly expanding to the size of a regular carriage.
Two blue fox hearts burned fiercely, emitting a heartening light.
Compared to the black beasts that previously pulled the carriage, these two fox hearts were overwhelmingly positive, almost inconsistent with Professor Metia’s usual demeanor.
Under their glow, everyone’s spirits were lifted.
“Get on, get on!” Professor Lily waved her hand and walked resolutely into the carriage.
Everyone smiled at each other and quickly followed, soon all entering the carriage.
Inside Professor Metia’s pumpkin carriage, even with fourteen people, it didn’t feel crowded.
People stacked their personal items at the rear of the carriage and sat down, leaning against the backs of their seats to relax.
Professor Metia summoned a huge crystal ball more than a meter in diameter in the center of the carriage. The crystal ball’s field of view rose high, capturing the area within a kilometer around the carriage.
Complex arrays bloomed under the carriage, dark runes gathering into dragons and coiling around the roof.
The Fossil Wing Dragon, transformed from the Mountain Giant’s Sword, sat on the carriage floor, squinting at the two loving fox hearts.
Once the incantation barrier was fully activated, the fully armed pumpkin carriage suddenly took off.
The fox hearts’ flames flickered, dragging the pumpkin carriage like a meteor towards the sky of St. Maryan.
The barrier’s passage silently opened, and the completely hidden pumpkin carriage suddenly drove in.
Professors Jones and Eve, who were staying at the academy, slightly raised their heads, looking at the fleeting light in the sky, silently wishing them well.
This journey would only lead to victory.
