Lila said, "I don't know where you learned about Special-Grade Demonic Beasts, but Fashion Demonic Beasts of that caliber are incredibly, incredibly difficult for humans to tame."
"Unless you can become a trailblazer."
Angel asked, "A trailblazer?"
"Yes." As far as Lila knew, even in Desire Chasm City, only a handful of mages standing at the very peak of the pyramid possessed Special-Grade Demonic Beasts.
And every one of those mages possessed unique qualities. Each was a trailblazer in art, a trendsetter in fashion.
For example, there had been a painter skilled in the art of painting who created a shocking, profound style of painting, becoming the trailblazer of that artistic path. That was what drew the attention of a Special-Grade Demonic Beast.
Thus, being a trailblazer was one prerequisite.
But that did not mean every trailblazer would necessarily attract a Special-Grade Demonic Beast.
Many artistic trailblazers who had shaken the ages had likewise failed to attract a Special-Grade Demonic Beast. Thus, the notion that trailblazers could attract Special-Grade Demonic Beasts was more speculation within magical circles.
Perhaps there had also been cases of non-trailblazers attracting Special-Grade Demonic Beasts, but Lila had never heard of any.
In short, blazing a trail was a threshold.
But even with that threshold, one might not necessarily cross it.
Special-Grade Demonic Beasts would also set challenge quests as tests, and the difficulty of those quests was exceedingly, exceedingly high.
Very few passed them.
That was also an important reason why there were so few mages with Special-Grade Demonic Beasts. Even after gaining their attention, one might still fail the challenge quest.
"So it isn't that I don't want to help you realize your dream. It's just that this dream is too difficult." Lila sighed.
Lila herself did not even have a Special-Grade Demonic Beast.
