Cthulhu Card Making: Medusa Card Making at the Beginning.

Chapter 85 Promotion [Snake Demon Medusa]

Although the process of making skill cards is the same as that of character cards, the consumption in the card-making process is actually not that large.

Because it is a secondary card that serves the main card such as the character card, it does not require a huge story to be written and endorsed.

However, the drawing of the card surface is naturally unavoidable.

Lin Mo skillfully dipped the card pen into the spiritual liquid and moved his wrist slightly while holding the card pen.

The spiritual fluid and the homologous force mixed together, flying and floating on the white base card along the handwriting, outlining dense lines.

Soon, a pair of huge vertical pupils appeared in the center of the card.

The pupil is the main subject, while the corresponding background and the owner of the pupil are treated as virtual.

In the second step of writing, Lin Mo pondered for a moment and then modified the original story.

In fact, the cause of Medusa's tragedy was actually Athena's jealousy.

What Poseidon did was just to give Athena an excuse to curse Medusa.

Of course, Lin Mo would not let these storylines appear this time.

The gods in Greek mythology retain more primitive desires than Eastern gods.

They control the powerful forces and rules between heaven and earth, but they still have emotions and desires.

After all, they are just people who possess great power and are not bound by rules.

Well, they all have the potential to become evil gods.

Lin Mo sighed secretly while writing the story of the card.

Next, the corresponding material cards were integrated one by one, starting with the first one, [Golden Snake Pupils]. The pupils on the card began to appear golden.

There was even an indescribable feeling of gloom. Then came the accompanying characteristics of [solidification] and [body stiffness].

Every time he put a piece of material in, Lin Mo could clearly feel that some of the source power in his body was drained away, although the amount of source power drained away each time was not much.

After putting in the material cards with additional effect characteristics, Lin Mo finally put in the most core and critical [Eye of the Green Devil].

As this core material was integrated into it, Lin Mo could see that the card, which was still a semi-finished product, trembled.

The edges of a pair of golden pupils flickered with a faint green light, and blue-green lines began to appear around the edges of the card.

This is a manifestation of the successful fusion of materials. The patterns on the edge of each card represent the characteristics of the card, as well as the new characteristics generated by the fusion of the card materials.

As the core materials were successfully fused, Lin Mo also mobilized the source power in his body and wrote the name of the card on the top of the card.
——【Medusa's Gaze】

As the real name fell, the card trembled slightly.

As waves of black mist rose from the card surface, the card flashing with blue light flew into Lin Mo's hands.

Medusa's Gaze

[Position: Evil God System]

[Category: Skill Card/Material Card]

【Quality: Blue】

【Rating: ★★★★】

[Bond: None]

[Description: Medusa, who has stimulated the blood of Typhon, has gained the ability to petrify everything she sees, driven by her hatred for Athena. Her eyes glow with a cyan-blue light, and anyone who looks at her will be affected by multiple negative effects such as solidification, limb stiffness, and muscle paralysis. And as the source of power is consumed, it can continue [with more than three star levels of the same quality, it can break free from control]]

After checking the card and confirming that there was no problem, Lin Mo put the card [Medusa] on it.

Now that the core skill card is complete, it is natural to upgrade [Medusa] without stopping.

For this promotion, Lin Mo made a bold attempt.

The story written in the core skill card only explains the source of Medusa's power.

This time in the promotion panel, Lin Mo made drastic changes to the story, mixing multiple versions together and deleting the part about Poseidon.

The story was rewritten as Athena, jealous of Medusa's beauty, secretly set the temple on fire, and used this as an excuse to sentence the priestess Medusa to death with the same burning.

At the moment of execution, Medusa awakened the blood of Typhon, the ancestor of the demon, hidden in her body, and thus escaped the death.

Out of hatred for Athena, Medusa gained great power.

Such a new version is undoubtedly very bold, but Lin Mo wants to take a gamble.

Typhon, the ancestor of demons in Greek mythology, is an existence that even Zeus is afraid of.

If Medusa could really establish a connection with it, Lin Mo's previous idea would be feasible, and subsequent promotions would be able to proceed more smoothly.

Of course, if it fails, Lin Mo still has other options.

The biggest advantage of contract cards is that even if the promotion fails, the card will not be directly destroyed like uncontracted cards, but there will be a certain backlash.

Backlash is a normal thing in the eyes of card makers.

Anyone who says that he has never suffered backlash when making cards should be embarrassed to call himself a card maker.

Just like, can an alchemist who has never blown up a furnace be called a good alchemist?

Although Lin Mo still lacks experience in dealing with backlash.

After placing the [Medusa] card side by side with the core card skill [Medusa's Gaze].

Lin Mo restarted another base card.

Unlike the previous promotion to Laifu, the promotion to Medusa will involve very big changes to the card.

So Lin Mo directly reactivated the base card and painted a new card face to replace the old one.

In order to match the material, Lin Mo even changed the pupils of Medusa in the new painting into snake pupils.

After a series of operations, a large amount of source power was consumed again.

In the temple burning in blazing flames, Medusa with a snake tail occupies the main part of the card.

Her figure was still as beautiful as ever, with a small blue-black snake swimming among her chestnut wavy hair.

The pretty face was no longer as innocent as it was at the beginning, but instead looked particularly charming under the light of the fire. Her mouth was slightly open, and her sharp fangs flashed coldly from one side.

The original story is that Athena cursed Medusa to turn into an ugly monster.

Now that the story has changed, the image naturally does not need to be too similar to the previous one.

The most important thing about Lin Mo’s card making is that it looks good.

A senior card artist in the circle once said, if you can’t even bear to look at the card spirit you drew, then why did you draw it?
If card making is not for the purpose of creating a card spirit that you like, then why did you choose the card making department in the first place?

In this regard, Lin Mo has always regarded these words as truth.

The path to salvation lies therein.

After Lin Mo finished drawing the new card surface, he integrated the two cards [Medusa] and [Medusa's Gaze] on the table as core cards into the new card surface.

Since these are cards that I made myself, there will naturally be no problems with adaptation in terms of integration.

Then, Lin Mo put the prepared materials [Natural Venom] and [Black Scale Python Fang] into this new card one by one.

As the last material card was successfully combined into the card, Medusa on the card suddenly came to life.

Lin Mo could even feel the mark of Medusa in his life palace vibrating.

The last step is to change your real name.

After picking up the pen and dipping it in the spiritual liquid to write the five words "Snake Demon Medusa", a sharp breath burst out from the card, and the edge of the card, the original green color, began to turn into blue.

Even at the edges, there are snake-scale-like patterns.

The card fell into Lin Mo's hands, and the promotion was completed!
