Going through the card info I was disappointed about its obvious defects but it did prove my theory right so the card was satisfactory at best for the resources used to create it.
Sending the card to Elliott's grimoire, I got up and walked towards the exit but was held back by Elliott's sudden soul churning scream.
As Elliott equipped the origin card the soul core fused with his body and soul, his body underwent evolution right then growing clear scales on his skin and replacing bones with clear scales.
Thankfully the card room was soundproof and the evolution did not last more than 5seconds the beauty of cards never failed to surprise me. To be able to replace a person's complete skeleton system under 5seconds was just magical.
"Elliott, you okay?" I asked looking at sweat-soaked Elliott who seemed to be shedding his body hair.
I knew what was happening, it seems Elliott's skin grew clear scales shedding his body hair, head hair, eyebrows and all the hair in his other places.
Elliot got up from the ground and said," never better" clenching his hand into a fist.
"Ahh ha ha.." Shedding all his hair the man pretty Elliott looked like a shimmering boiled egg with legs and arms.
As clear scales were nanometer in size and transparent in colour they could not be seen by naked eyes so Elliott's skin looked like normal skin. Sometimes Elliott's skin shimmered under the reflection of light.
Elliott had already noticed the loss of his hair but soon a luscious hair covered his barren bald head. It seems he had a hair growth and dresser card with him.
Seeing disband in my eyes he explained, "I have to look my best all the time in my line of work which is physically impossible so I keep some beauty cards with me, I did not think it would come in handy this way."
I understood him, looking your best is not just for your confidence but also for your opponents so that they don't underestimate you and lose respect for you, you do not want this in a negotiation.
According to a great man, if you cannot have the upper hand in the negotiation then at least be equals in the negotiation.
Seeing that he was okay I headed out but Elliott stopped and said, "I would like it if you kept my origin card details between us, I have a lot of enemies and it would be good to catch them off guard."
"No probs, client and creator confidentiality so you are good."
"Thank you for understanding. You would not mind if I used this card room to test the card abilities."
"..."
"I will pay for any damages."
"Okay! go head"
Getting my consent Elliot tried out all the abilities of the card one by one. Seeing Elliott use the abilities I felt as if I was watching a 3D horror movie, his body bent in an unnatural way she passed through the lab floor, walls and ceiling.
Then finally Elliot took out a soul jade and fused it with his right arm, as he absorbed all the soul energy in it.
As he absorbed the soul energy in the jade the clear scales went from transparent to light blue and then deep blue.
As the clear scale turned deep blue Elliott had a sudden feeling of fullness, turns out Elliot's ability had its limit after all clear scale is like a stomach to Clear scale earthworm and there is a limit to how much energy the clear scales can absorb and added to that until the clear scale digests the energy absorbed completely he cannot fuse with other objects or energy.

When it came to using clear scales for absorbing energy or nutrients the card limitation was obvious, the clear scale can only hold a certain amount until the already ingested amount is digested or released the clear scales enter a dormant state ceasing all absorption functions.
But still if used properly clear scales were one heck of an ability. And also as long as Elliott does not unnecessarily absorb energy or nutrients he was good to go.
Learning his abilities and limitations Elliott nodded in satisfaction, he was finally normal though it was too late for him to pursue his dream to be ranked card apprentice in the card apprentice championship now he at least could grow stronger and be independent.
"Thank you, Master Wyatt. you are my saviour I do not know how I can repay you but I hope this shows my gratitude." Saying that Elliott passed me a storage trunk card.
"Do not try to flatter me with your words let me see your gratitude" I equipped the storage trunk card and summoned it.
This was the storage trunk Elliot summoned earlier. It contained 11 soul jades and a mysterious egg. 4 soul jades were missing as they were used for card creation.
"Haha Mr Elliott I accept your gratitude, If you need my services in future you can contact Susan. Speaking of Susan, do not forget to pay her services charges."
"Do not worry Master Wyatt I will pay Ms Susan her share and add a handsome tip, rest assured."
"What monster does this egg belong to?"
"Oh, Master Wyatt this is not a monster egg it is the Dungeon calamity seed."
"Dungeon calamity seed! I have heard of it but never seen one before."
'Fuck! this thing is very precious, more precious than 11 soul jades.'
Dungeon calamity seed is an almost immortal plant-type monster, plant this seed in one dungeon and that dungeon will become a barren land within a few days justifying its name the Dungeon calamity seed.
Hell if I plant this in the city, the whole city will be ruined and dead within a few days, that's how powerful this seed is. To think I will get my hands on such a thing.
But having this thing will also attract a lot of unwanted attention, fuck I may even be assassinated in my sleep for this, as good as this seed is the trouble it brought was not worth it.
I glared at Elliott, 'Mf, I helped you and this is how you thank me. The whole city will be after me if word gets out I have the Dungeon calamity seed with me.'
Seeing my glare Elliott smiled apologetically and said, "I won't tell anybody that I gave the seed to Master Wyatt. If you feel so unsafe and insecure you can auction it or I can take it off your hands and compensate you in Dollars."
If you cared so much you should not have given it to me in the first place. Now that I know how can I bear to part with such a baby?
"No need, I can handle it. If there is any conspiracy I will be the one to smash your earthworm head."
"Rest ensured no conspiracies, Master Wyatt."
"Look at the time, it is almost time for lunch. Now that our account is settled, now beat it."
I did not know what Elliott was planning by giving me the Dungeon Calamity seed but his plans will be a waste if any because I plan to use it tonight to create my second origin card.
Viltronian human core, once the soul in human core matures it will automatically become a fated ingredient of the said soul. Using this perk of Viltronian human core I was planning to create my second origin card and the dungeon calamity seed was the right ingredient to start with.
