The next day.

Louis got up early, changed into armor, and headed to the Adventurer Guild.

The lack of sleep last night slightly affected his thinking.

Now waking up, he vaguely felt that something was amiss.

Why were they the ones who fell into the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm?

On the carriage heading to the guild, Louis began to ponder this question.

If he had to say what he and Qian had in common, it would probably be that both had grasped some Original Power of the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm.

During the battle in the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm, he hadn't realized it.

Thinking back now, the black storms that Qian created seemed less like the power of an Iron Guard and more like the power of the Fallen Shadow.

Louis also mastered this power.

However, his acquisition of this power was less than legitimate.

The Dragon Weaponry seems to possess the power to simulate other biological structures and can also continuously devour corrupt powers.

After research conducted by the White Tower during this period, he could confirm that Limuru also possessed some power of Dragon Weaponry.

Or perhaps...

Having consumed the sapphire young drake's living corpse, it was inherently the most likely being to inherit this power.

He strongly suspected that the Dragon Weaponry on him might be the result of the influence of compound powers.

He had never considered this aspect before.

Only when Sean and Fafnir's husband and wife steadfastly regarded him as a sapphire young drake, did he initially react, thinking the future diary was incredible.

To allow a human to possess a purer dragon essence than dragons.

But later, after communicating with Beatrice, he accidentally developed the Dragon Weaponry's liberated form.

This finally confirmed to him that the root of his ability to wield Fallen Shadow Magic was not due to Greed Dominator.

The real reason Limuru could replicate Fallen Shadow Magic was its Dragon Weaponry-like power obtained after digesting the sapphire young drake's living corpse.

That power gave Limuru the potential to resist the corrosion of Fallen Shadow power and harness Fallen Shadow Magic for its own use.

Then that power was directly absorbed into Louis's body through Greed Dominator's contract.

And Louis himself, possessing Dragon Weaponry granted by the future diary, also gained part of Limuru's constitution through Greed Dominator.

Ultimately, these powers converged, giving Louis traits similar to Fallen Shadow creatures.

Upon discovering this possibility, Louis decisively ordered the White Tower to explore Limuru thoroughly.

The final results were pleasing.

Just as he had suspected, perhaps while the sapphire young drake was still alive, Limuru had already devoured its flesh and blood.

After it became a living corpse, Limuru devoured it once more, inheriting a considerable portion of the sapphire young drake's power.

Even its innate spiritual ability was grasped by Limuru.

In the recent experiment, under the guidance of the Mages, Limuru finally successfully revealed a form it had never transformed into before.

It was a mimicry closely resembling the sapphire young drake.

It could even be said that this form should be the final form of Dragon Weaponry.

Question: What is the limit of Dragon Weaponry?

Answer: Transform directly into a gem dragon.

This is very logical.

In contrast, the Dragon Weaponry on him is not so logical.

Only Limuru, who possesses mimicry, can unleash the maximum power of Dragon Weaponry.

Which he cannot do.

Greed Dominator merely allows him to grasp Limuru's skills.

But abilities like mimicry are not based on skills but on the combination of innate and supernatural abilities.

Innate abilities are beyond the scope of what Greed Dominator can control.

For example, birds can fly.

If he contracts a bird, can Louis directly grasp the ability to fly?

But Limuru can.

When it transforms its body into a bird, it can indeed fly.

It is precisely the special nature between Louis and Limuru that allows him to fully grasp Fallen Shadow Magic through Dragon Weaponry as a medium.

Perhaps it is because of this reason that he was so easily drawn into the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm.

As for Miss Qian...

No need to say more.

After all, Qian's father, Rogen, was originally a member of the native War Ghosts of the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm.

Through a certain imperial technology of the past, Rogen broke reproductive isolation and had a child with his lover.

But Rogen's essence remains a being of Fallen Shadow.

His blood flows in Qian, probably making her feel more like a member of Fallen Shadow creatures than Louis's counterfeit Fallen Shadow monster.

While thinking this, the carriage slowly stopped:

He couldn't help but recall the red patterns that blossomed on Qian's face when they met in the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm.

Carrying an inexplicable wild taste.

This was feedback from predator perception.

It was almost like...

"Like there's another beastly form hidden beneath human skin!"

Louis couldn't help but have this thought flash through his mind.

"Sir, we've arrived at the Adventurer Guild."

The carriage came to a stop, and the driver at the door knocked.

Louis's train of thought was interrupted, and he opened the door and stepped out of the carriage.

No matter.

Handle the work at hand first.

However, Louis still had a lingering doubt.

In Rogen's memory, Qian was only ever accompanied by her parents.

On the father's side, Rogen essentially was an orphan, with no relatives.

On the mother's side, she's passed away.

Among the mother's relatives, either they had married far away, or due to wear and tear from the early relocation, some had left or died.
