[The Shadow Realm]
[A few days after Rescuing the Feline Beast]
---
"The ordeal cost us more than its reward."
Despair, darkness, and a choking sense of guilt. Dezhong Prince, who had tried to get to a compromise with Sil about saving the Feline Beast, was filled with negative emotions as he mourned the loss of his Conjured Shadow General.
The General Dead Mutant was one of Dezhong's fiercest and most horrid fighters, possessing the strength and wild nature to take on anyone it saw fit. Unfortunately, the Conjured Shadow bit off more than it could chew with Jin Peng, who had transformed into Daeva, the real Daeva with his Draconic Form.
It was as though the more days passed, the stronger the dragon grew, with more of its body resembling that of a dragon.
