The first was [Pain Split]!
[Pain Split: Add up one's remaining life force together with the target's remaining life force and divide it equally.]
"Gasp!"
The horror of this ultimate was that it could drag down the opponent's life force to the same level when one was at death's door and seeking for survival.
For magical spirits, the so-called life force referred to magic energy.
So it was basically a 'magic energy split'.
"If this is applied together with [Shuckle]'s [Power Split] and [Guard Split], won't it be a true [One for all, all for one]?""Drag the opponent down to the same level, and then use one's plentiful experience to knock them down?"
The corner of Dark's mouth rose, inadvertently forming a light smile.
Then he went on to look at the next ultimate—[Destiny Bond]!
[Destiny Bond: Perish together in a mutual destruction! After using Destiny Bond, when one receives a serious or critical injury from the opponent's attack, the opponent will be backlashed by nearly the same level of damage (limited to magic energy).]
Although the effect of this [Destiny Bond] slightly differed from the settings in the Pokémon game, Dark still felt breathless upon seeing it!
"The magic energy limitation should refer to how it's limited to creations of magic energy, such as magical spirits, and restricted against non-magic energy creations. After all, the life force of magical spirits is made up of magic energy, so the damage is naturally also in the form of magic energy. This point should also apply to [Pain Split]."
"The Destiny Bond that originally could only activate when nearly dead can now also take effect after serious injuries. This considerably expands the scope of application."
"Assuming that the opponent is Vlad the Vampire, will his magic energy be instantly wiped out if he obliterated Mismagius who was using Destiny Bond?"
"Too bad there isn't another Vlad I can experiment on."
Dark couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
Nevertheless, [Destiny Bond] was a terrifying ultimate that would make the opponent tremble in a magic duel!
Compared to the seemingly harmless [Misdreavus], [Mismagius] was unequivocally ferocious.
"The last ultimate—[Nightmare Space]!"
"Like [Dread Gem], it's also a derivative skill."
Dark had never seen the skill [Nightmare Space] in any of the Pokémon-related series before, so he inevitably paid more attention to it.
[Nightmare Space: When Nightmare Space is unleashed, the target will feel as though they have entered the dreamland. Inside Nightmare Space, Mismagius is able to distort space and create illusions.]
[Effect ①: Space distortion—teleportation. Swapping one's position with the target's.]
[Effect ②: Space distortion—the quicker the speed, the slower the movement, the slower the speed, the quicker the movement. Relative to Mismagius' speed.]
[Effect ③: Create illusions. Make the target unable to distinguish illusion from reality, thus falling into confusion.]
……
"It turns out to be a field spell skill!"
Dark couldn't hold back his shock.
Possessing a field spell skill was equivalent to owning a [field spell card]. It enabled one to create a 'field' that belonged to oneself!
Moreover, it was clear that this field spell skill was a three-in-one combination of the skills [Ally Switch], [Trick Room] and [Psybeam].
It was essentially using one skill to supplant three skills.
The formidability of the result was self-evident.
……
By this time, Dark was finding it difficult to look straight at this [Mismagius].
Its strength had already gone beyond the star ranking and attribute itself—it was a killer weapon against high-rank magical spirits.
The combination of the four ultimates was extremely terrifying.
Even the combination he thought up of in this fleeting interval was already frightening.
For instance, one could decimate a high-rank magical spirit by swapping positions and forcibly taking the opponent's ultimate strike while using Destiny Bond.
If it resulted in serious injuries instead of death, then [Pain Split] could be used to equally divide the amount of magic energy with the opposing magical spirit…
Perhaps, upon unleashing Nightmare Space, watching magical spirits with superior speed crawling on the ground like a turtle would also be a kind of untold delight.
The only flaw [Mismagius] had was probably its lack of means of direct attacks.
As the ghost-type version of [Power Gem], although [Dread Gem] had a decent power, it needed to absorb the emotion of fear to accumulate enough magic energy.
This aspect wasn't easy to accomplish in the academy.
Unless he could reach an agreement with the academy and be allowed to release Misdreavus, adding a little spice to the students' dry and dull school life…
……
Without further ado, Dark commanded [Mismagius] to unleash [Nightmare Space] in the dormitory.
"Misdreavus~♥"
But Mismagius suddenly flew up and used its robe-like body to shroud his head, wriggling around.
Dark quickly pulled it off his head and lightly reprimanded, "be good."
"Misdreavus~♥"
Mismagius raised its face and vigorously rubbed it against his cheek before finally turning around to cast [Nightmare Space] on the empty space.
Purple mist slowly diffused from underneath its body, billowing in all directions like a cloud of smoke.
When Dark and the magical spirits had their attention drawn by the purple mist, [Nightmare Space] had already unfolded without a sound.
Because it was also a field effect, it didn't clash with [Wonderland].
On the contrary, there was even a particular sense of 'harmony'.
As the mist rose, Dark's vision suddenly blurred. Mismagius abruptly disappeared, replaced by a young witch dressed in a purple robe and a dome-shaped witch hat, holding a gorgeous wand in her hand!
She was wearing glasses and had fair, clear skin as well as a slender figure, looking gentle and quiet yet also confident.
The chest hidden under the robe was also quite impressive.
Just the type that Dark liked!
But immediately afterwards, a [Shuckle] moving at high speed hurtled past like an express train, pulling him back to reality from the midst of the illusion.
