Cthulhu Card Making: Medusa Card Making at the Beginning.

Chapter 93 Promotion [Yao Dao Ji] (5000 chapters, please order first!)
【Demon Sword Muramasa】

[Position: Evil God System]

[Category: Armed-Item Card]

[Quality: Blue 5 stars]

For the card Demon Sword Muramasa, it is more of a remake than a promotion.

After all, with the purple core material card, Fuhun, Lin Mo is confident that he can directly make it into a character card instead of an armed prop card.

However, thinking about that time, he was probably still worried about the card-making materials.

Therefore, it is not a bad thing to make the front carrier first.

If it weren't for this knife, perhaps he would have been absorbed by the clay figurine as nutrients in front of the barbecue stall that day.

After searching for a while, Lin Mo took out all the materials he had prepared long ago.

In addition to [Soul of the Hidden One], there is also [Bloodstained Robe] which was not used in the last card making.

Before that, in order to fit the subsequent story of the card.

Lin Mo replaced the original female attendant with a [sword-wielding girl].

All previous green materials [Bloodstained Robe] have also been replaced with higher quality [Weeping Blood Remnant Clothes]

Strictly speaking, the story of Princess Demon Sword does not come from the traditional mythology of any country, but is derived from the folk legend of the demon sword of Japan in another world.

There are many areas that need to be improved.

After arranging all the materials together, Lin Mo dipped the card pen into the spiritual liquid and began to refine the girl who originally looked illusory on the card.

Having made so many cards, if you ask Lin Mo what he is best at drawing, it would be girls.

Different from the girls drawn before who were mostly charming, Yaodao Ji's face is more cold and beautiful.

Delicate facial features, fair skin, and most importantly, those eyes that are indifferent to everything.

The material of the Blood-Weeping Remnant Clothes was men's style, which made Lin Mo a little confused.

But high-quality clothing materials that can be used as clothing for female fashion are extremely rare.

[Qingluo Long Robe] does not embody the aura of murderous intent, and the characteristics or card skills it carries may be more auxiliary.

[Ghost Bride's Dress] A strange material, its characteristics are more likely to be controllable or mental, and the patterns on it are complicated, making it too troublesome to modify.

Therefore, Lin Mo could only take out the material with the highest degree of fit under limited conditions.

After the materials are integrated into the card surface, you can adjust them one by one.

The biggest difference between promotion and re-making cards is that the former can integrate the materials in advance, and then write and supplement the story based on the modifications of the materials.

As for the latter, it is necessary to strictly follow the four-step rule of card making, and no mistake can be made at any step.

However, fusing the materials ahead of time will make it more difficult to upgrade the cards.

But, this is not a big problem for Lin Mo.

With the blessing of dual talents, Lin Mo's suppression and control over cards have far exceeded the level that a first-level card maker can achieve.

What's more, Lin Mo had tried purple-quality cards before and gained valuable experience.

As the first material merged into the card surface, the tattered blood-stained robe draped over the girl looked very incongruous.

The lower part of the blood-stained robe has a long hem, while the upper part can be said to be completely bare-chested.

If Lin Mo had produced a card spirit similar to the Bearded Man, there would naturally be no problem. On the contrary, it would have been able to highlight his heroic and free-spirited character, and would have been more in line with the story.

But if it was a beautiful girl with a cold look and an aloof personality, it would be somewhat unsightly.

With this in mind, Lin Mo dipped his spiritual fluid in the robe and began to modify its appearance. He first lengthened the hem to cover most of the slender legs.

Afterwards, the style of the robe was modified to be more like a female dress, completely filling in the missing piece.

This is undoubtedly a big project.

Because card making consumes source power and mental energy, the more you do it, the greater the consumption.

In the past, Lin Mo always dealt with details in a simple way.

But today, he was so meticulous about every line.

Lin Mo let out a breath, raised his sore wrist, and looked at the robe the girl was wearing. It fit her perfectly, outlining her charming curves.

Lin Mo, who always felt that something was missing, suddenly had an idea and drew a pair of golden bells on the waist of the demon sword princess.

Then he took out the [Sunk Bell] and added it in. This kind of material did not have any special effects and could only serve as a decoration.

After the card surface was refined, Lin Mo began to write the story.

Since the original myth of Yaodao Ji is the result of secondary processing by later generations through folk legends.

Lin Mo could naturally do the same, but to be on the safe side, he only made minor adjustments.

If the connection is not perfect, the promotion may fail or become a defective product.

This is why every card maker will prepare several sets of materials when making cards.

The low success rate of card making is only one reason. More importantly, some senior card makers, when they find problems with their own card making during the process, are able to use spare materials to make up for the mistakes in time.

Of course, this type of operation is limited to card makers who have equally strong mental power and source power.

Ordinary card makers would hardly even think about these things.

Originally, Youdaohime was born because Minamoto no Raikou of the Genji family artificially combined evil spirits with weapons in order to win the war, thus creating the legendary demon soldier.

Then select the right person, cooperate with the demon soldiers, and gain powerful power of ghosts and gods.

Yaodaojime is a humanoid weapon that was born in such an environment.

The power of the demon sword is so strong that the demon sword princess cannot control it. Instead, she is affected by the bloodthirstiness of the demon sword and becomes a natural killing machine.

Yaodao Ji gradually left her human identity and became a powerful demon spirit.

He was forced to sign a contract with the Genji clan and became a shikigami under their control.

The above is the original story, and Lin Mo himself would naturally not adopt all of it.

After thinking for a while, holding the card pen in hand, Lin Mo began to add his modified story to the cards.

After obtaining the demon sword, Genji ordered the massacre of the Muramasa clan to prevent others from possessing the same power.

In order to take revenge on the Genji clan, the surviving daughter of the clan used her life blood to communicate with the oldest demon sword in the ancestral hall, established a contract with the demon spirit in the sword, and after obtaining the power of ghosts and gods, she massacred the Genji clan.

Eventually, he ran out of energy and fell into a deep sleep.

After a hundred years, the girl fulfilled the contract and became a new sword spirit named Yaodaoji.

During the Edo period, the Tokugawa family learned of the legend of the demon sword and ordered a search for the sword to aid in the war.

However, successive heads of the Tokugawa family were unable to control their inner desire to kill, and thus were unable to wield the demon sword, and were ultimately killed by the murderous aura contained in the sword.

The demon sword devoured its master and was eventually sealed away.

It was later stolen by the demon king Ibaraki and its whereabouts are unknown.
"call!"

After letting out a long breath, Lin Mo looked at the story he had written and nodded with satisfaction.

The mental and energy consumption made Lin Mo feel physically and mentally exhausted.

Finally putting the core material [Fuhun] in it, the Youdaoji on the card instantly became lifelike, as if it were alive.

The hem of her clothes seemed to move in the wind, and the red color of the long sword in the girl's hand also looked particularly charming.

After dipping the card in the spiritual liquid, Lin Mo rewrote the name of the card at the top.

——【Yaodaoji】

As the three words were completed, the source of power in Lin Mo's body began to pour out.

In the life palace, the third seal that originally contracted the demon sword Muramasa also began to flicker.

The patterns on the engravings began to change.

The blue card gradually turned purple, and a surging force continued to emerge from Lin Mo's body.

The world before my eyes changed suddenly.

In the dark sky, cherry blossoms fall like raindrops.

Bleeding corpses were scattered all over the ground, and large pools of blood were slowly flowing down the slope.

The stream of blood connected all the corpses.

At the end of the stream, there was a blade flashing with a gorgeous red light, inserted diagonally into the ground.

The red long sword was the end point of the blood stream. The red light on the blade flickered, as if it was breathing.

And on the hilt of the long sword stood a graceful girl, her body also stained with blood, and behind her were corpses piled up like a mountain.

There are broken limbs everywhere.
Such a strange scene made Lin Mo's heart tremble.

Just at this moment, the girl looked over. Her pretty face and a pair of bright black eyes exuded a look of indifference to everything.

Demon Sword Princess.
The girl's outfit was exactly the same as the one Lin Mo had just drawn.

With a tap of her toes, Yao Dao Ji flew towards Lin Mo gracefully, and the bell on her waist made a crisp sound with the wind.

The red demon sword behind her made a low humming sound, and then flew into the hands of the demon sword princess.

Accompanied by a gust of sharp wind, Lin Mo only saw a flash of red light before his eyes.

When I opened my eyes again in a trance, the dark sky and the cherry blossom rain had disappeared completely.

Before my eyes, there was only a purple card quietly floating in the air.

His breathing became rapid, and Lin Mo realized that his back had been soaked in cold sweat and his muscles were tense.

Is this a test of the state of mind similar to the Soul Summoning Banner?

Or maybe I've been overworked recently and am a little mentally exhausted so I'm having hallucinations.

Shaking his head helplessly, Lin Mo temporarily put aside the messy thoughts in his mind and began to observe the second purple card in front of him——【Yao Dao Ji】

Compared to directly contracting a purple card, it is easier to contract a blue card first and then upgrade the contracted blue card to a purple card.

The power is better controlled.
Lin Mo clenched his fists, his mind moved, and powerful strength continued to surge out of his body.

Looking at the palace of destiny, a red light lingered above the mark.

What exactly was the scene just now?
After calming down, Lin Mo summoned out the Demon Sword Princess.

As the familiar black mist rose and dissipated, the girl in a white dress appeared in front of Lin Mo amidst the dancing cherry blossoms.

The bright red blood looked particularly bright against the white background of the dress.

This image is exactly the same as the one that just swung the sword at him.

Her pretty face was cold and elegant, with a sharp light flashing in her pair of black pupils.

"I have met my lord."

What was different from the Demon Sword Princess that Lin Mo had just seen in his mind was that the Demon Sword Princess in front of him had an emotional change on her face, although her words were still stiff.

Hearing the cold and beautiful girl addressing him, Lin Mo's lips curled up slightly.

This name is quite interesting.

"Be good, call me master next time."

As he spoke, Lin Mo stood up, walked in front of Yao Dao Ji, and stretched out his hand to grab Da Lei.

"Demonization!"

As the source of power in the body suddenly decreased, Yaodao Ji's chest began to flicker with light. Lin Mo spread out his five fingers, only to feel a huge suction force constantly emerging from the flickering place.

Then, a pair of golden bells fluttered and made sounds, and the handle of a knife emerged from the faint light.

Draw the sword from your chest!

The moment he grabbed the hilt of the knife, a force even more powerful than before began to flow into Lin Mo's body, extending to his limbs and bones.

As the blood-red blade gradually revealed itself, the figure of the Demon Sword Princess gradually became illusory, and her limbs began to continuously turn into pink fluorescence, just like the dancing cherry blossoms.

As the blood-red long sword appeared completely in Lin Mo's hand, the figure of the Demon Sword Princess had completely disappeared.

The scarlet demon sword was so sharp that the moment he held it, Lin Mo even had the illusion that he could cut off everything in the world with one blow.

The overall appearance of the demon sword is no different from the previous one. The only difference is that there are nine cherry blossom-shaped dark patterns on one side of its blade.

A faint scent of blood emanated from the dark patterns.

That was murderous aura, the murderous aura that belonged only to the demon sword.

At the small hole at the hilt of the knife, a long white lace is connected to a pair of golden bells.

Holding the magic sword in his hand, he felt the power within it and the murderous aura lingering on the blade.

Lin Mo couldn't wait to try out the power of the new knife.

Looking at the time on his watch, he saw that there were still about forty minutes before the Card Master Training Hall closed.

"I can still catch up." Lin Mo murmured.

However, he originally wanted to drive the new car to pick up his aunt.

Give her a surprise and show off your new car at the same time.

After thinking for a while, Lin Mo sent a message to his aunt.

"Dear auntie, my dear auntie, when will you return to the palace today?"

As soon as the message was sent, a reply came.

"Are you hungry? Why don't you go outside and eat some food? I have a lot of information today, so I guess it will take until after ten o'clock."

"I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry. The time is just right." After getting the reply, Lin Mo was delighted and replied immediately.

Just one second after sending the message, Lin Mo suddenly realized something was wrong and quickly withdrew it.

But it was too late.

"???"

"Is the time just right?"

"Lin Mo, do you want to tire me to death?"

"Xiao Mozi, what are you up to? [Panda head]jpg"

"No, auntie, you wronged me. I was planning to pick you up."

Lin Mo quickly made amends and sent a series of messages to explain the matter of driving a new car.

"What car? Is it expensive?"

"It's not expensive. Someone gave it to me as a gift."

"Well, since you are so filial, come and pick me up around eleven o'clock."

"Okay, you go ahead and do your work. Xiao Mozi will leave now."

After a while of arguing and quickly dealing with his aunt, Lin Mo closed the light screen and chat box that popped up on his watch.

Turning his head and looking at the red sword in his hand, Lin Mo suddenly had a new idea.

A moment later
"My Lord, dressing like this really increases your strength."

Pulling one side of her skirt with her hand, the originally cold and expressionless Yaodao Ji asked Lin Mo timidly, with an inexplicable blush appearing on her pretty face.

White stockings, small shirt, black bow, and miniskirt.

What a genius I am!

Lin Mo kept looking at her, and seeing the demon sword girl covering her collar with one hand and pulling down her skirt with the other, he felt inexplicably excited.

This dress was previously prepared for Medusa, but now that Youdaoji is wearing it, it actually looks a little small.

But because of this, the graceful curves that were previously hidden under the robe were perfectly revealed.

Unlike Medusa, the cold and beautiful face of Yaodao Ji, coupled with her shy expression, creates a huge contrast.

In fact, the outfit worn by Youdaoji is something that many girls wear in their daily lives.

I don’t know if it’s because Yaodao Ji is too tall, which causes the effect on her body to be so unexpected for Lin Mo.

"Ahem, yes, dressing like this will definitely increase your strength."

It’s just that the power of the demon spirit itself is not enhanced, Lin Mo thought to himself.

"Hmm."

Yaodao Ji nodded. Since the lord said so, it must be right.

Under the bond of the contract, the card spirit unconditionally obeys and trusts the card master.

Even the highest wisdom is no exception.

A moment later, Lin Mo was driving the silver-gray Tianxi on the main road.

Sitting on the passenger seat next to her was Yao Dao Ji.

In the end, Lin Mo still asked Yaodao Ji to change her clothes.

It was enough for him to enjoy the beautiful scenery alone.

The training hall was not far from here, so Lin Mo didn't spend too much time to reach the training hall.

As soon as Lin Mo entered the door, two familiar staff members came up to greet him with a smile.

But when they saw a tall and beautiful girl following Lin Mo, their eyes quickly exchanged.

"Um. Help me open a training room."
