“Sir, how may I help you?”

First I wanted to walk around the auction house but since I got my hands on the Beast will core, I decided against it because I wanted to check if the new card recipe I came up with was possible. 

“Lead me to Card Lab, and I also want to buy the following cards,

As for Aura Guard, according to studies every living being has Aura emitting from their body and stronger the Aura means that person is healthier.

If any average John/Jane Doe from my world were to be equipped with Aura Guard then he/she could easily live across 110 years of age. 

When I first saw the curled up Bear in the core my first thought was this will go great with Bear Form Martial Arts. Then upon further thoughts, I came up with a possible new card recipe. Being an Inventor I couldn’t wait to try it out, so I didn’t hesitate to quote a sincere price for the beast will core. 

I entered the Card Lab collecting all the ingredients, I still had nearly six and half hours of monthly free time left under my membership. 

Sitting in the Card Lab, placing all card ingredients on the card creation page I closed my eyes and poured my mental strength into the grimoire. 

This time the card creation process would be more difficult than last time as I am using two already operational cards as ingredients. 

Thinking about the kind of card I wanted to create I opened my Soul pupils and scanned all four ingredients E rank Bear form card, F rank Aura Guard card, E rank – Beast will core and E rank common core. 

Within the Bear Form card, I saw a bright mass of light shaped in the form of a Martial artist continually practising Bear Form Martial arts. 

While in the Aura guard card I saw the bright mass of light shaped in the form of guard. 

In the Beast will core I saw a Bear sleeping in a curled up position but the bright mass of light in here was much brighter compared to the mass of light in the ‘Bear from’ card. 

My intuition told me that if I tried to bind the beast will core to the Bear form card then I would fail as the Bear form card soul pathways seem to be weaker compared to the soul pathways in the beast will core. 

Therefore I came up with an idea to strengthen the soul pathways of the ‘Bear form’ card with the soul pathways of the ‘Aura guard’ card. 

I proceeded accordingly, using the mental strength I moved the bright mass of light from the Aura guard card to strengthen the Bear form card. I was careful so that I didn’t leak any bright mass of light in the process. 

The soul pathways of Aura guard easily dissolved into the soul pathways of the Bear form card strengthening the Bear form card 

Next, I didn’t directly try to bind the Beast will with the strengthened Bear form card. I used the E rank common grade core as the medium. 

I slowly moved both soul pathways of beast will and Bear form into the common grade core simultaneously, the beast will resisted at first but being overpowered by the soul pathways of Bear form its resistance was of no use and bound with the common grade core. 

I looked into the E rank Common grade core, with the addition of beast will and Bear form soul pathways the speck of bright light inside it turned into a large mass of bright light in the shape of Abyssal Giant Bear, this Abyssal Bear was no longer curled up and sleeping instead it showed intelligence and was continually practising Bear form Martial arts. Then I activated the morphing property of the common grade core turning it into a card. 

Card Creation Complete, [ Abyssal Giant Bear Spirit Guard]

[Card Name: Abyssal Giant Bear Spirit Guard

Card Type: Skill Card (passive) 

Card Rank: E rank, common grade

Card Ratings : [26]stars

Card Durability : [100/100]

Card effect: user becomes ‘Elite’ in Beast form martial arts [Abyssal Giant Bear form]. Additional effect – strength and senses of the Abyssal Giant Bear (passive), Abyssal Giant Bear Spirit Guard(passive), Abyssal Roar(active), Intimidating aura(passive).]

Abyssal Giant Bear Spirit Guard(passive) – the user’s aura is strengthened to the point where it takes the form of an Abyssal Giant Bear spirit, this Abyssal Giant Bear Spirit is sentient and will passively protect the user meanwhile strengthening users Abyssal Giant Bear form Martial arts by giving increased strength, defence and senses of the Abyssal Giant Bear and other Abyssal Giant Bear abilities. 

Intimidating aura(passive) – user passively emits the Aura of a wild Abyssal Giant Bear. 

Abyssal Roar (active) – user can roar like the Abyssal Giant Bear stunning all nearby enemies for 1-3 seconds based on strength difference. Cooldown time – 140 seconds. 

The star rating is very high than I expected it should be because the star ratings of cards I used as ingredients was high, thankfully the durability ratings are perfect one of the reasons I preferred the aura guard card for strengthening over other alternatives. 

What was more shocking was the evolution of Bear from Martial arts to Abyssal Giant Bear form and evolution of Aura guard to Abyssal Giant Bear spirit guard. Not to mention the Abyssal roar and intimidating aura. 

This card could be considered overpowered in E rank common grade cards, 3 passive and one active abilities with such low star ratings and perfect durability ratings was unheard of.

I bet this card would fetch me a fortune if I auctioned it. Removing the F rank Bear form card I equipped the E rank Abyssal Giant Bear Spirit Guard Card. Due to my lacking star power, I could not hold cards more than 32stars.

But with E rank Abyssal Giant Bear Spirit Guard Card who needs as an F rank Bear form card. 

E rank Abyssal Giant Bear is a boss monster with it and my Gale rabbit leather boots abilities complimenting each other’s weakness, I had become an unstoppable force within E – ranks.
