Even though Nial was not sure where he received the vivid picture of the armored serpentine beast' correct anatomy from, it was imprinted in his mind and he made use of it to tend to the youngling.
The storm of highly purified mana was slowly turning into dark energy that was imdiately used to fix the armored serpentine beast's organs and the rest of its body.
To do this, Nial spend roughly two months, which was a considerable amount of ti, but Nial thought that it was worth it nonetheless. The Mana Storm was fully drained when Nial finished fixing the armored serpentine beast. The timing was simply too perfect, yet, Nial was still a little bothered about sothing.
'The picture of the beast's anatomy shows one organ less than there is inside the youngling. Is that related to the Shadow presence I've sensed?' Nial wondered, not exactly sure if that was the case. He thought of asking the youngling but chose against it because the beast youngling was still extrely tired. It had yet to fall asleep, which was why Nial gave it the opportunity to do exactly that.
The beast youngling fell asleep on the ground, and it was as unmoving as a dead body. If not for being connected to the youngling and being able to sense the dark energy that surged through the beast vigorously, he would have thought that it was dead.
It was the first ti Nial devilized a youngling. That ant so things would be a little different from how they had been with the Eclipse Fla Lion and his other Devils. Nial didn't think too much about it, but he was also a little expectant. He hoped that his actions were worth the effort he put in and that the youngling was actually sohow related to the Grasp of Eclipse movent technique.
A few days passed before the youngling woke up, and Nial had spent days finding out more about the beast's species using the vivid picture of the beast's anatomy that had been engraved in his mind. He was still not able to say what species the youngling was for sure, but his guess was that the armored serpentine beast was an adverse mutation of the Origin Leviathan.
It must have been abandoned because of the mutation that added one organ of unknown nature and its twisted organs.
'If the Origin Leviathan was not able to fix it, she would have abandoned her kid, probably. Isn't that how it usually is when it cos to beasts raising their cubs and younglings?' Nial thought, scratching the back of his head with a sigh.
He was not too sure how others would react if he were to actually be in control of the newest generation of the Origin Leviathan. Shadow, which was what Nial called the armored serpentine beast, might only be a youngling and a few years old but he was already four kiloters long and simply humongous.
Shadow didn't really feel like entering Nial's Heart of Darkness either. At least, for the ti being, Shadow wanted to stay by Nial's side. Nial didn't have anything against that though he knew that it would be a little troubleso once he returned back to the territory of the Demihumans.
They would turn insane thinking that Nial planned an invasion with the Origin Leviathan or sothing like that.
But then again, spending a few more years inside the teorfield before returning wouldn't help either. After all, the youngling would grow rapidly now that its body was not crippled anymore. It only required a considerable amount of resources and nutrition to grow rapidly and make up for its stagnated growth over the past two years.
Nial knew that Shadow would require a considerable amount of highly nutritious food, which was why he thought that it was better to return to the Demihumans' territory for a few months to create a few more runic armants which he would then sell for a high price. From the wealth he was bound to acquire, Nial would then buy food that had been treated in a way to accelerate the growth of beast mounts.
Shadow was not a beast mount but that didn't really matter much. He was a youngling and in dire need of nutrition. This was the highest priority of Shadow right now, especially since its other ailnts had been treated properly.
"Can you jump through shadows or distort space?" Nial asked Shadow once all preparations had been completed. Shadow stared at Nial and it created a black portal in front of its head just a mont later.
The portal had been created with its dark energy and through the use of its additional organ and another organ. To Nial, it was almost as if its organs replaced Ability Stigmatas. That was pretty interesting, but Nial had sothing else to pay attention to right now.
"What is the farthest distance your portal can bring us? When will you be able to cross the entire teorfield with these portals?" Nial asked, feeling a bit excited. He knew that Shadow was sohow related to the Grasp of Eclipse movent technique but he didn't expect Shadow to be able to jump through shadows and darkness and that the beast was able to create portals for multiple people to pass through.
As if that was not enough, Shadow also showed that it was able to turn its physical form non-corporeal. It passed through the planet it had been lying on all the ti and then flew through it easily.
Nial perceived all of that precisely, and it felt extrely weird. After all, the only things he visualized were Shadow disappearing into the ground and Shadow's fluctuations seemingly rging with the ground as it moved alongside Shadow swimming through water.
"Let's go back to the Demihumans' territory first. Tell what you know about yourself later," Nial added, changing the plan he had in mind. It didn't really matter how far Shadow could teleport them currently. Important was just that it was actually possible to overwrite the restrictions that had been put on long-distance traveling via space-like abilities and techniques.
And that was sothing Shadow was clearly capable of!
This was a gigantic leap toward his goal of returning ho, and it was certainly sothing to be happy about.
