Chapter 1090: Grimace"s ElevationTranslator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Huang left Emperor City first thing in the morning and headed towards Division 3.
He visited Sweep City"s black market and the Wanbao Auction. He only returned to Emperor City after getting his hands on the materials that he had asked for earlier.
On Dynasty"s end, although they were also helping to collect materials, they were using their own sources. Meanwhile, the black market in Sweep City was the Heretics" source. For the Wanbao Auction, it came from the n.o.ble families.
Naturally, using three different sources to look for the materials he needed was more efficient than using a single source.
After returning to the Emperor Palace, Lin Huang got Huang Tianfu to bring out the materials they collected. Ama.s.sing them together with the materials he had purchased from Division 3, he asked b.l.o.o.d.y to help sort them out.
On the other hand, Lin Huang finally had the time to look at the cards of Grimace and the rest who had just elevated to mythical-level.
The front of Grimace"s card was completely different now.
He looked like a 20-year-young man. He wore black and red tones of clothing and had a black cap on his head, complete with a monocle on his left eye. Half a white mask adorned the right side of his face. There was nothing on the minimalistic mask at all, not even a swirl of pattern. He held a short, red walking stick in his right hand which appeared a little like Harry Potter"s magic wand.
After studying it for a while, Lin Huang soon turned the card around to look at Grimace"s detailed information.
“Monster Card: Grimace
“Rarity: Mythical-level
“Monster Name: Mysterious Duke
“Type of Monster: Mysterious-type / unidentified tribe
“Nickname: Mystic
“Combat Level: Imperial-level Yellow Gold-rank
“Major: Control
“Major Skills: Mask Domination, Puppet Domination, Fraud Game, Illusion Master…
“Minor Skills: Supreme Intelligence, Divine Telekinesis, Trap Master, Magic Mirror…
“Summoning Authority: Denied
“Card Remarks: Recommended to train with maximum effort!”
Grimace already wielded similar skills such as the Mask Domination, the Puppet Domination, the Illusion Master and the Trap Master before, so Lin Huang already knew the approximate effects of those skills were after merely taking a glance.
However, there were two skills that he did not really understand what the exact effects were. He tapped them open to read the details.
“Fraud Game: The legendary Mystic will invite you to play a game in which the Mystic will have total control of the contents and rules. The final winner can ask the losers to do one thing without any conditions. No matter what the request is, the losers cannot reject.
“Remark 1: The Mystic has a choice not to reveal all the game rules and contents to the invitee. The Mystic can bluff in the game.
“Remark 2: As soon as the game rules and content are set, there"s no way of changing it in the middle of the game.
“Remark 3: A maximum of three people can be invited per day, but the same person can only play the game once a day.
“Remark 4: As soon as the game results are announced, no matter how far apart the winner and losers are, the losers must complete the winner"s request within a given period of time. The losers will have to give up what the winner specifies if the losers don"t manage to complete the request in time. The specified item can be soul, flesh, feelings, lives, or anything at all.”
“Magic Mirror: One random unique ability will be given each day such as the Dimensional Mirror, the Mirror Clone, the Mirror Seal, the Mirror Reflection…
“Remark 1: The a.s.signed ability is totally random and cannot be controlled.
“Remark 2: You can only use one mirror a day.
“Remark 3: The effective time of each ability is 24 hours.”
“The Fraud Game is a little similar to the Rule Bending Power while the Magic Mirror has high uncertainty. If I"m lucky, I"ll get a great skill, but if my luck is bad, it might backfire.” Lin Huang did not dwell further on the two skills after he was done looking at them. Instead, he proceeded to check the other four cards.

All five cards gave a great boost in ability since the elevation. Furthermore, the number of skills was even multiplied. Some of the main skills had new branch skills emerging from them. The different elevation direction in abilities was clearer to him now.
After reading the details of the five cards, Lin Huang could not wait for the day he elevated to imperial-level.
“Their combat strength should elevate to perfect-stage imperial-level purple gold-rank. By then, they should be able to fight Virtual G.o.d rank-1s with their imperial-level purple gold-rank combat strength.”
As he put the five cards away, b.l.o.o.d.y finished sorting out the materials.
“We"ve gathered a substantial amount of materials this time. We"ve gotten enough elevation materials to elevate six imperial monsters, namely Bing w.a.n.g, the Witch, the Imp, the Malachian Fiend, Thunder and me. The elevation materials for the Warlord and the two Dark Crescent Snakes are almost there too. However, I won"t be elevating now. Let"s see after you"ve elevated to imperial-level.”
“Alright, thanks for the trouble.” Lin Huang nodded, feeling a little sorry. Indeed, he needed b.l.o.o.d.y to be by his side for now. As soon as b.l.o.o.d.y elevated, it would be sealed due to his authorization. Then, Lin Huang would not be able to summon it.
In reality, Lin Huang also kept the few pseudo-mythical-level monsters including Lancelot, the Evil Dominator, and Killer with him. They did not need materials to elevate since they could be upgraded to mythical-level with merely an Advance Card.
Compared to legendary-level Monster Cards, being on pseudo-mythical-level, they were still good enough to fight at the moment. They could at least fight imperial-level purple gold-rank powerhouses with imperial-level yellow gold-rank combat strength.
The main reason why Lin Huang had been holding back on their elevation was that he wanted to have a few imperial monsters with him for battles. That way, he could prevent fighting on his own if he encountered some trouble along the way.
