When Li Ang appeared in the dining room, he was holding a Salamander egg.

Seeing him arrive with Zoe, aside from the engrossed ALulu, the expressions of the young girls at the other three tables were visibly unnatural.

Li Ang sat down calmly and asked Dorothy, "What did you go out to do?"

"Ah? Me..."

Dorothy glanced to the side somewhat guiltily.

Andasu remained expressionless. Having been under high pressure in the past, she was used to feigning calmness, but she didn't realize that since joining the Star Flower Travel Corps, her expression had always been relaxed. This indicated that there was something on her mind and it immediately gave her away.

Having discovered these two plotting, Li Ang took the initiative.

This way, they wouldn't inquire why Li Ang and Zoe came together, also proving they indeed had matters at hand.

He had seen these two whispering together at the top of Thunder Peak and only hoped they weren't plotting some scheme to enchant and bind him.

After dinner started, Elaphia stared at the egg in Li Ang's hand and asked, "Are you intending to contract a Demon of this level?"

With this young lady's discerning eye, she naturally had no regard for the Fire Feathered Lizard.

No matter its optimal environment and maximum potential, it can only reach Tier Seven level.

"For the contract method?" Elaphia said, "I haven't seen anyone contracting this before. It's probably not easy, right?"

Li Ang explained to her about the Dragon Summoner legacy left by Farina, mentioning that, relying on this, he wouldn't be bound by conventional contracts.

The reason he remarked that the Summoned Beast is the most difficult aspect to elevate for most Sky Knights is due to the complexity of forming a contract.

Using scrolls to suppress Combat Wisdom isn't an option for the strong, but it's a decent method since it doesn't require binding.

Some contract methods, in order to ensure solidity, are essentially built upon Spiritual Structure; once both parties establish a contract, backing out isn't possible.

Ideally, if the Summoned Beast dies, one can seek a new target, but Li Ang has also seen circumstances where life is shared between both parties.

Thinking about this, Li Ang glanced at Dorothy.

The Half Elf, listening to their conversation, responded at this time: "The Demons my family trained used a method through my mother's connections with the Elves. But I was very young when she fell ill and haven't returned home, so I don't know what it's like there."

Since it involved her departed relatives, Li Ang didn't continue questioning.

"Are you planning to minor in Dragon Summoner? As a special inheritance, it's desirable. Do you wish to become a Six Dragon Envoy?"

Li Ang thought of the abruptly departed Farina, wondering if she had discovered anything yet.

To the Blondie Douding's question, he remained noncommittal, but he did consider meeting the Six Dragons with Farina; based on her description, they are the six poles supporting the world, what form of existence could they be?

While contemplating this, Li Ang recalled after leaving, he had questioned Baal in detail about the Purple Gold Giant Dragon summoned by Zoe and Ivynis.

He had sensed the Bahamut's aura on Zoe since he had let go of hostility.

The aged Star Soul, in the form of an elder, said, "The power of our kind originates from Him. It is said that only the most unique in the Star Divine Child can summon the Shadow of the True God."

What is the Shadow of the True God? Li Ang pursued the question at that time.

Baal merely said, "I don't know the details, I just know that it both is and is not a God."

Though the ancient Star Soul provided a direct riddle "The Creator God doesn't seem as powerful as the title suggests," which offered an explanation but also spawned more questions.

Putting aside these issues, Li Ang sensed the progress of bloodline purity in the Demon egg held in his hand.

"Huh?"

He couldn't help but utter a sound, drawing the attention of those nearby.

"Master, is there something wrong?"

"It's nothing."

Li Ang wondered if it was an illusion, then sensed again.

On the surface, the bloodline purity of the Salamander egg had already reached Tier Five level; once it matures, its combat power would be considerable.

But even though he is a Tier Six Dragon Summoner, the progress shouldn't be this rapid for the egg to reach this level.

He suddenly thought of a possibility, although reluctant to believe, but...

He handed the egg to Andasu beside him for safekeeping, unwilling to pass it to the Half Elf for fear she might disdainfully drop it, even if she has progressed, she would complain about the adhesive secretion due to its revived activity from his bloodline purity enhancement.

Li Ang tried constructing Curse Art with his left hand.

Halfway through drawing the Curse Rune in the air, he canceled it.

It's not an illusion, his manipulation of Spirituality had accelerated.

As a Curse Art practitioner for nearly a decade, how rarely did progress occur this swiftly? Li Ang immediately realized something was amiss.

It's evident the growth of Crimson Thorn is causing this.

This practically indicates that when he fully transforms into an alien Demon, his control over Spirituality will elevate to an unimaginable degree.

Was it not that after time-traveling to the Otherworld for a decade, it wants me to start making choices typical in many tales? To be human or not to be?

Li Ang felt somewhat frenzied inside.

It's like poison coated in honey; rationality tells him he cannot consume it, yet it seduces him to explore, uncontrollably wondering if this power could be grasped in hand.

However, does this exploration cause the transformation progress to accelerate?

Maintaining an unchanged expression while dining, Li Ang recalled the matters regarding the Crimson Demons.

About the Crimson Demons, there remain various questions, such as where they truly hide, and why there's a sort of separation from the mortal world. They care about Nebis, yet don't belong here.

In the Wotam Church Country, the Oathkeeping Festival requiring the faithful to not associate with outsiders has been a misinterpretation over the years. In truth, it's merely a custom precluding Demons.
