Forum:Aklys Question

Ok Aklys says

'When this card is Normal Summoned, you can Special Summon 1 "Dragunity" monster from your hand, then equip it with this card. When this card is sent to the Graveyard while equipped to a monster, select 1 card on the field, and destroy it.'

Does it need to remain face up on the field to resolve its effect?

I ask this because 'When this card is Normal Summoned, you can Special Summon 1 "Dragunity" monster from your hand, then equip it with this card.' is all one sentence and I am unsure if it is allowed if you cannot equip the monster (Because its in the grave) to the summoned monster.
