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

　[Holy Arrow: Angewomon can summon a holy arrow formed from gathered light, unleashing a bolt of lightning in the name of "Heaven's Punishment," delivering thunderous retribution for evil! It inflicts paralysis and grants an additional 500 attack.]

　Weapons that increase attack by 500 points are not uncommon in magic cards. However, as an additional effect of a powerful ultimate move, it is extremely formidable.

　Unfortunately, the additional attacks from "weapons" cannot be stacked.

　Angewomon does not gain an additional 500 attack power boost when using the "Holy Sword".

　But when it comes to the "Holy Sword"...

　Dark had no doubt about Angewomon's "brave qualities".

　Unfortunately, Angewomon's compatibility with the "Holy Sword" makes it difficult to create special combo attacks like "Dance of Madness".

　However, greed knows no bounds, and Dak was already extremely satisfied.

　[Heavenly Purple Light: Angewomon will not tolerate injustice and evil. When she releases a beautiful and gentle purple beam of light for the purpose of judgment, the more evil the opponent, the greater the damage. Increases damage against Demonic Beings by 100, damage against Dark Beings by 50, and damage against Dark Beings by 20.]

　Under the illumination of the "Heavenly Purple Light," no evil can survive!

　Looking at the additional effects that were so similar to the "Holy Sword," Dark no longer doubted that "Angewomon" possessed the qualities of a hero.

　It's practically a living holy sword!

　"One last ultimate move left!"

　With renewed excitement, Dak continued his examination.

　[Holy Bubble: Angewomon gathers the power of all her companions and infuses it into the Holy Arrow, firing a holy arrow that purifies all evil.]

　The minimalist description conceals a terrifying meaning.

　"This is undoubtedly a mind-control technique!"

　After experiencing the "Mind Light" of "Fantasy Beast: Stag", Dark has finally obtained his own Mind Skill!

　His eyes widened involuntarily, and he felt excited about this ultimate move that was clearly reserved for the protagonist and usually appeared at the end of the story to turn the tide and defeat the boss.

　But after calming down, he realized that the power of such a finishing move was actually extremely unstable.

　"Angewomon gathers the power of all her companions... but what is the definition of 'companion'? How much power can each companion provide? And is there an upper limit to the final power unleashed?"

　All of this requires further investigation to find out.

　"As it stands, I, who have a bond with Angewomon, am definitely one of her companions. As for the other companions... perhaps they are the Magical Spirits?"

　Dark raised his head and looked again at the happy magical elves.

　Then he began to try to recall the cartoons he had watched before.

　"In the first season of Digimon, the eight chosen children and their Digimon can all be defined as Angewomon's companions. Each of them has a Digivice called the Digivice, which is a medium for transmitting mental power and a key item that connects the eight children together."

　"I don't have a Digimon machine, but it seems I also have a gadget that can connect Gatomon and other magical spirits."

　"That is, a venue card!"

　"Or more precisely, a 'paradise'!"

　Dak suddenly realized.

　He quickly realized that the potential of this "sacred bubble" was unimaginable.

　As the "Paradise" continues to upgrade, its ultimate power can also continue to increase!

　This can no longer be simply called a "trump card".

　It's undoubtedly a "finishing move"!

　……

　It's getting late.

　Dark did not make any attempts related to Angewomon's special attack after that.

　The excitement of the magical spirits subsided as Angewomon regressed.

　However, the magical spirits who did not gain new power all had a seed of yearning for power planted in their hearts.

Chapter 539 Dark Dragon Knight Dimon (6k)

　公爵府的马车于入夜之前便抵达了王宫。104;116;116;112;58;47;47;119;119;119;46;50;99;121;120;115;119;46;99;111;109;47;

　The afterglow of the setting sun hung obliquely in the sky like a golden veil, illuminating half of the palace in a crimson glow.

　Dressed in a black tuxedo, Dark Dimon stepped down from the dragon-horned carriage, accompanied by his maid, Ollie. After undergoing an identity check by the palace guards, he transferred to a smaller carriage inside the palace.

　The carriages, which can only carry one to three people, come in a variety of styles. There are antique-style carriages made of rare ancient wood, gorgeous Victorian-style carriages, and even dark Gothic-style carriages.

　Every time Dak entered the palace, he would marvel at the queen's refined taste and elegance in designing these little carriages.

　"Perhaps life in the palace is just too boring?"

　Dak drew back the curtains, looked at the carriages traveling around him, and his thoughts drifted away.

　The current king has three wives.

　The Queen was close in age to him and was said to have been his childhood sweetheart since they were young. She was also of noble birth and did not give birth to a daughter until she was over thirty years old, who is now the eldest princess Elizabeth.

　The second wife is the First Princess, the mother of the eldest prince Charles. She is in her early forties but does not look old.

　The last wife was the second princess, who gave birth to two princesses before she was even twenty. Now in her early thirties, she remains beautiful and charming.

　As the king grew older and his children grew up, both queens moved out of the palace and began to live relatively free lives, only returning occasionally to visit.

　Therefore, only the queen resided permanently within the high walls of the palace.

　She basically handled all the affairs, big and small, within the palace.

　Tonight's entrance banquet for the two little princesses was most likely arranged by the Queen.

　Dark's gaze shifted slightly.

　The invitation to the banquet actually listed two names.

　But Arvit did not come, so he was the only one who attended the banquet.

　Slightly different from Jon and Joey's school banquet, the two little princesses' banquet was very formal and grand, and the threshold for invitation was also relatively high.

　With so many nobles present, it was certainly not his place to stand out as a junior.

　So tonight, he can just relax and do nothing, then find a chance to play with his yo-yo.

　……

　About five minutes later, the carriage arrived at a courtyard full of blooming flowers.

　A two-story mansion was specially built in the courtyard for banquets.

　Night lights were also lit on the lawn outside the courtyard, and pastries and drinks were readily available everywhere.

　Nobles dressed in magnificent robes strolled leisurely on the lawn, chatting with each other from time to time, their laughter audible.

　A melodious tune floated in the air, and a gift tree, laden with small gift boxes, stood in the center of the lawn.

　After getting out of the car, Dak entered very discreetly through the side door.

　Then he deliberately found a quiet place to sit down and quietly experienced the gradually lively banquet atmosphere.

　After he sat down, Ollie took the small gift and walked to the gift tree, gently placing it among the small mountain of gifts.

　So far.

　Dark's task for tonight is complete—

　……

　As this banquet is hosted by the two princesses, there are quite a few young nobles attending tonight.

　Having been tempered by war, the kingdom's nobles are not lacking in those who are understated yet luxurious and cultured.

　Even if they aren't, the young people attending the banquet will still present themselves as that type of aristocrat.

　They are usually more popular than aristocratic youths who are just as flamboyant in appearance and inward, and are at the center of their peers' social circles.

　Dak searched the crowd with great interest for characters he recognized.

　However, students like Angus Jeffrey who study at St. Marian Academy are extremely rare; most of the St. Marian students seem to have already left the capital on the magic-powered motorcycles this morning.

　On the contrary, students from the Royal Academy and the Holy Mystic Academy are often seen.

　The Royal Academy and the Holy Ritual Academy were located on the east and west outskirts of the capital, respectively, facing each other across the entire capital.

　Like St. Marian's Academy, the Holy Ritual Academy is a full-time boarding school, while the Royal Academy is a semi-boarding school, and there's more to it than meets the eye.

　In any case, they are located on the outskirts of the capital, so students can go to the academy to register in the next day or the day after.

　Before long, Darke spotted Joshua Middleton and Brown Eugénie from the Royal Academy in the crowd.

　Their fathers were a marquis and a treasurer, respectively.

　Then, Dak saw Phyllis Raman and Kyle Dimon, both of whom were students at the Holy Mystic Academy.

　Phyllis Raman is the count's daughter, and Kyle Dimon is Dak's cousin. When Dak was very young, he even invited him to spend a night in his beloved little cabin, but the chubby boy didn't seem to appreciate it.

　"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Kyle much since his birthday party. He didn't even attend the twins' entrance party last night."

　Dak stroked his chin, pondering whether he should greet him.

　But Kyle suddenly turned his head, and their eyes collided across a large patch of grass.

　Then Kyle, like a fat rabbit being targeted by a big bad wolf, suddenly hopped away and disappeared in a flash.

　"Tsk."

　Dark clicked his tongue and turned to look at Phyllis, who was walking towards him.

　Good evening, Phyllis.

　He stood up, straightened his collar, and took the initiative to greet them.

　Good evening, Dark.

　Phyllis still sported her trendy drill-shaped hairstyle, and her slightly round face and petite figure made her look like a delicate porcelain doll.

　"I thought you had already left this morning, but I didn't expect to find you at the banquet."

　Phyllis unfolded the folding fan and smiled sweetly.

　With each farewell, her inclination towards Dak seemed to grow stronger.

　As the only daughter of Count Rex Raman, one of the thirty-six councilors, Phyllis's actions usually reflect Count Raman's will, and the political stances of the father and daughter are highly consistent.

　Therefore, those who know her well will realize that this is a sign that Count Rex Raman's political stance is tilting towards the dovish side.

　However, those people will then have doubts.

　Because Count Rex Raman has not had much contact with the Valkyrie and the eldest princess recently.

　……

　Dak invited Phyllis to sit down next to him, and then kept a proper distance from her as they exchanged pleasantries.

　He had originally planned to just coast through the evening's banquet, but little did he expect that just a short while later, Joshua Middleton, the son of a marquis, would also join in.

　Joshua Middleton is sixteen years old. He and Dark didn't get along at first. But after the magical chess battle at the beginning of the holidays, their relationship has undergone a subtle change.

　This proactive gesture of goodwill represents a complete shift in attitude.

　His father, the Marquis of Middleton, was not only a powerful warrior but also a seasoned strategist.

　He was influenced by what he saw and heard, and he was not stupid.

　However, Dak was not very familiar with him and only had a brief conversation.

　Then, right after, Brown Eugénie joined in.

　Brown Eugénie, acting as the link between the "All-People Duel Club" and the "Eugénie Trading Company," has already met Claire.

　So far, the conversation between the two sides has been quite pleasant.

　Eugénie Trading Company will most likely become one of the distributors of "All-People Duel Club".

　……

　Administration, military, and commerce.

　Unbeknownst to him, these three forces had gathered around Dark Dimon.
