The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　In this process, he did indeed let three drops of greed seep in.

　Three points of greed are enough to make the emblem of greed appear.

　Fortunately, his studies and experiments during this period did have an effect, and the final result did not deviate too much.

　After urgently adding two auxiliary ingredients, he finally succeeded in refining the bronze mirror.

　Having gained more experience in the training process, Zhihong finally completed the final training.

　Only after the internal reaction of the magic card finally stopped did Dark breathe a sigh of relief. He used tweezers to remove it from the bluish-gray viscous liquid and rinsed it under the tap.

　But as greedily dripped in, the upper limit that the entire alchemy process could accommodate suddenly increased by a significant amount.

　Because it was only a very small portion, he did not choose to continue dripping in the fourth point of greed. Instead, he selected some auxiliary materials as fillers, finally bringing the refining process to near saturation.

　Dark immediately noticed the mirror pattern displayed on the card.

　The prototype of the bronze mirror was a round mirror with a bronze frame encasing the mirror carved with very intricate and beautiful floral patterns, and water flowing down with a "whoosh".

　The magic card gradually revealed its true form.

　But after looking at the four small snakes, Dark was overjoyed and immediately realized that after the bronze mirror was refined into an item card, it was even closer to the Medusa Mirror!

　As a replica, the more similar it is, the better.

　But on the frame of this newly crafted magic card, four snakes are crawling!

　Four slender bronze snakes form a new floral decoration, giving the mirror a mysterious and eerie feel.

　"Did it succeed?" it asked, tilting its head.

　Little Devimon put in a lot of effort to create this item card, so it cares about it very much.

　"call--"

　Suddenly, the little devilmon flew down from the bird stand and landed on his shoulder, looking at the item card with curiosity.

　Card Name: Bronze Serpent Mirror

　Dark took a deep breath and said, "We'll only know for sure after we see for ourselves."

　He then grabbed the magic card with his fingers, infused it with magic, and received the initial response.

　Effect 2: Comes with the ultimate skill "Bronze Serpent".

　Effect 3: Comes with the ultimate skill "Petrifying Gaze".

　Type: Item Card

　Effect 1: Spirit +3, Reason -3.

　Dark's heart stirred, and he couldn't help but take a closer look, but then he frowned.

　After being refined into an item card, the bronze mirror transformed into a bronze snake mirror.

　"Three effects, two ultimate moves!"

　The +3 Spirit bonus not only grants the holder an additional boost to their mental strength, but also makes them more energetic and emotionally vibrant.

　While this effect is not very useful in magic duels, it is useful to the mage himself.

　It has three effects.

　But the first effect is half positive and half negative.

　After all, neither the cursed mask nor the mirror of wisdom is friendly to its holder.

　While +3 to Spirit and -3 to Reason may seem contradictory, they are not actually in conflict.

　But the second half of this first effect is Rationality -3!

　Rationality -3: The negative effect of this bronze snake mirror was actually expected.

　Moreover, once the holder becomes confused, they are more easily deceived by the mirror, until they lose their way—this aligns with the wisdom mirror.

　But if it's just this level of side effect, Dak isn't worried.

　Losing rationality in a state of excitement is what leads to chaos!

　This aligns with the effect of the cursed mask.

　This bronze snake mirror comes with two ultimate skills, which is quite rare among item cards.

　And one of these two ultimate techniques is the Bronze Serpent!

　He hesitated for a moment, then looked at the last two effects.

　First, there's effect 2.

　The Bronze Serpent: A bronze serpent sleeps within the Bronze Serpent Mirror. The accumulated desires will awaken the bronze serpent from its slumber, and those with weak wills will be lost in the whispers of the bronze serpent.

　Judging from the name of the special move, it should be a special move that summons snakes.

　But after Dark infused more magic to examine the situation, he discovered that this was not the case.

　Dak didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

　He shook the magic card, and suddenly a thought struck him: "Could it be that the whispers of this bronze serpent can be heard by more than just its holder?"

　The effects of the Wisdom Mirror seemed to have been perfectly transferred into this bronze snake mirror.

　Ordinary magical spirits might not be fooled by the whispers of the Bronze Serpent—after all, they have no capacity for thought.

　However, if this ultimate technique were used on intelligent beings, it might subtly cause them to lose their way.

　Based on the description, this idea is highly probable.

　If this is indeed the case, then the ultimate technique of the Bronze Serpent has a usable method.

　Then let's look at the final result, number 3.

　The special move that comes with this effect 3 is Petrifying Gaze.

　Thinking of this, Dark couldn't wait to summon the Bronze Serpent Mirror to try it out.

　But he still held back.

　Petrifying Gaze: The four snakes on the frame of the bronze snake mirror will come to life after [Petrifying Gaze] is activated. Anyone stared at by their gaze will turn to stone.

　It can be said to be the easiest-to-understand ultimate move among the three effects.

　Dak glanced at it.

　Dark took a deep breath and said, "It looks like it's been successfully refined. Wait for me to summon it."

　"In the name of Darkdemon, I summon the Bronze Serpent Mirror!"

　As for the extent to which this petrifying gaze can achieve its petrifying effect, that will only be known after experimentation.

　As for the bit of rationality that was deducted, it was almost negligible for him, who was constantly battling with great sins.

　Unless it's a negative effect like +3 greed, it won't waver.

　As soon as the summoning incantation ended, a bronze mirror with four small snakes climbing on it materialized in front of Dark.

　He reached out and shook hands, and could feel his spirit, which had been weakened by the long period of experimentation, rise slightly.

　A large serpent with bronze scales slowly opened its vertically shaped eyes in the mirror world!

　"Hiss!"

　He picked up the mirror and examined it carefully, then stared intently at the surface of the bronze snake mirror.

　Suddenly, the mirror surface rippled like water.

　It immediately realized that the whisper of the bronze serpent was "scoped"!

　As for its range...

　A whispering sound suddenly reached my ears.

　Dark looked around abruptly and noticed that the magical spirit cards that had been watching them all frowned almost simultaneously.

　"Bronze Serpent, oh Bronze Serpent, who is the most handsome person in the world?"

　"It's you, it's you!"

　At least none of the magical spirits in this room escaped it.

　Darke stared intently at the bronze snake's reflection in the mirror, and suddenly asked:

　Suddenly, a possibility popped into his head!

　"If we gain a deep understanding of this bronze snake mirror, to the point where we can control the bronze snake, could we use it to transmit messages over a wide area?"

　After asking and answering his own question, Dark smiled and prepared to try to make the bronze serpent disappear.

　"Hiss!"

　"After this, I must give it a try!"

　Dak made a decision without hesitation.

　Without opening its mouth or speaking, it conveyed its meaning to everyone around it through the bronze serpent.

　This ability to communicate remotely is actually very useful!

　After Dark mastered the technique to make it disappear, he took out a row of petrification removal potions and placed them on the table, then had Impmon fly to him.

　He then infused his magic power, activating the ultimate skill attached to the Bronze Serpent Mirror—Petrifying Gaze!

　When he stopped gazing at the bronze serpent mirror with lustful eyes, the bronze serpent gradually closed its eyes and fell back into slumber.

　It is clear that this level of obstruction is completely useless.

　There was cloth hanging on one of its wings, but this time it still failed to provide any cover.

　The next second, the four small snakes on the frame opened their snake eyes at the same time and stared at the little devil beast in front of them.

　Impmon was already mentally prepared and immediately used its wings to cover its body. However, the petrifying gaze not only petrified its wings but also its body beneath them.

　No amount of petrification removal potions can remove this petrification!

　As usual, Dark conducted a test on the petrified Devimon to assess its resilience.

　After it had completely turned into a stone statue, Dark picked up a vial of petrification undoing potion and sprinkled it on its body.

　However, only a very small amount of dissolution was observed on the petrified shell of Impmon.

　The petrifying gaze of the bronze snake mirror could also be used in this way.

　After this.

　It turned out that after turning into stone, Devimon's defense actually increased significantly!

　According to records, monsters called gargoyles would petrify themselves to defend against attacks.

　About five minutes later, the petrification state on Impmon was automatically lifted.

　The petrified stare CD is a full hour long.

　Dark did not immediately release Impmon from its petrified state by canceling the summon.

　He calculated the time and waited patiently.

　"The petrification intensity has also increased significantly, and ordinary petrification removal agents can no longer remove it immediately."

　"As for the petrification duration being shortened to five minutes—this is consistent with what usually happens after an item is converted into an item card."

　"Clearly, the Bronze Serpent Mirror's petrifying gaze is closer to Medusa's petrification ability in every aspect, and is distinct from the Chicken-Snake Beast's petrification ability,"

　This forging was undoubtedly a great success.

　"Overall, the bronze snake mirror has been greatly enhanced and has more potential for development."

　Dak wrote this in his notebook.

　"So, the only item left to be refined into an item card is the clown mask."

　Dak couldn't help but ponder.

　These kinds of item cards don't have many equipment restrictions; basically, any magical spirit that you can carry can equip them.

　Its intense petrification effect will surely make it shine in magical duels.

　In short, as long as the method for making the clown mask is figured out before October, we can catch up with the Golden Cup.

　The problem is not big.
