Successfully Received Gram!

After coming into contact with Chaosdramon X, Allen's desire to successfully receive Chaosdramon X grew increasingly intense. Although he clearly knew that, given his current physical strength and level of magic power, he was still unable to perform Full Body Reception, he did not become discouraged. Inspired by Elfman, Allen decided to begin by attempting partial reception.

Allen now had a clear goal in mind—to materialize the remarkable Gram and the indestructible Aegis held by Chaosdramon X. He threw himself wholeheartedly into repeated attempts. His efforts eventually paid off, and after trying many times, the rough shape of the weapon appeared before him on several occasions. However, each time, just as success seemed within reach, his fatal weaknesses—insufficient magic power and inadequate physical strength—caused all his efforts to end in failure.

Faced with one failure after another, Allen did not give up lightly. Instead, he calmed down and carefully considered the reason behind them.

After some deep thought, Allen gradually pieced together the answer. Perhaps because Chaosdramon X was a level above LordKnightmon, its demand for magic power had also risen accordingly.

Once he understood this, Allen immediately changed his strategy. He no longer fixated on materializing Chaosdramon X's weapons, and instead tried to summon the limbs and weapons of LordKnightmon from before it obtained the X-Antibody.

Allen calmed himself and focused all his concentration. His consciousness kept trying to establish contact with Chaosdramon X. The process was long, and sweat continuously beaded on his forehead. His body trembled slightly, but his gaze remained unshakably firm.

As his magic power gathered, a knight's lance emitting a faint glow gradually appeared. Although it was still extremely hazy, this was already a huge breakthrough. Allen gritted his teeth and continued pouring magic power into it. The lance grew clearer and clearer. Yet, just as it was about to fully take shape, Allen suddenly felt dizzy. His magic power was nearly depleted. He knew that giving up now would render all his previous efforts futile, so he forced himself to draw in the scattered magic power from the surrounding environment, replenishing himself bit by bit.

Finally, as a flash of light streaked past, the Gram of LordKnightmon in its normal form was successfully materialized!

However, as Allen's magic power ran out, the Gram that had just appeared vanished once more.

Allen collapsed onto the ground in exhaustion, but a happy smile spread across his face. At that moment, he knew that as long as he continued along this path, one day he would be able to completely receive Chaosdramon X and unleash its formidable power.

After recovering his magic power, Allen went to find the busy Polyushika.

"Grandma, I can receive the weapon of the entity inside me now."

Allen's words exploded beside Polyushika's ears like spring thunder. Her eyes filled with incredulous joy as she stared at him eagerly, her voice trembling slightly. "Really? You can truly receive the weapon of the entity inside you now? After receiving it, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" As she questioned him, Polyushika circulated her magic power and cautiously examined Allen's physical condition, while also trying to sense the existence of that mysterious force.

Allen nodded, excitement flashing in his eyes. "Grandma, I'll receive it and show you." He stood where he was and began gathering his focus and magic power. Slowly extending both hands, he watched as a gentle white light gradually appeared before him. The light slowly changed shape before ultimately condensing into the form of a lance. The next second, Gram appeared before Polyushika's eyes.

The instant Gram appeared, Polyushika sensed its extraordinary nature. She felt an unprecedented pressure emanating from the lance, as though even the air had grown heavy.

"Grandma, look. This lance is called Gram, and it has a matching shield called Aegis." Excitement colored Allen's voice. "It's just that I can only receive one of them right now. But I've already established contact with the entity inside me. I know it's called Chaosdramon X, and that it was once a member of the Royal Knights who guarded the World Tree."

When Allen had announced that he could receive the weapon inside him, an indescribable excitement had surged through Polyushika's heart. During the process of Allen receiving Gram, her perception had also reached its utmost limit. At the instant Allen's consciousness space slowly opened, Polyushika sensed an unprecedented fluctuation of energy. It was the power of Chaosdramon X, and the level of its energy far exceeded her imagination.

A trace of shock flashed through Polyushika's eyes. She knew that with the existence of Chaosdramon X, Allen's fate would be entirely different from that of ordinary people.

Allen gripped Gram's handle tightly with both hands. Although his body had not yet fully matured, his will was firm, and he struggled to maintain the lance's materialized form. However, for young Allen, maintaining Gram's existence was undoubtedly an enormous drain. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his arms trembled slightly, showing that he was struggling against his own limits.

Seeing this, Polyushika hurriedly said to Allen, "Quickly end the reception. Grandma has seen it already, and now Grandma can finally rest easy." She knew Allen had already proven his ability. The most important thing now was to protect his body and prevent him from exhausting himself too much.

Allen nodded when he heard her. He understood his grandmother's concern and gradually relaxed his control over Gram. As his consciousness space slowly closed, Gram's physical form began to dissipate, eventually turning into a streak of white light and reintegrating into Allen's body.

Polyushika looked at Allen, her eyes filled with pride. She knew that his future was boundless.

In the days that followed, Allen persisted in training every day under Polyushika's attentive guidance. He gradually strengthened his body while carefully absorbing the magic power in the air. After Polyushika prepared medicinal baths for him, he no longer needed to worry that his training would cause any hidden dangers or internal injuries to his body.

At some point, a little tagalong began following Allen during his daily training. This little fellow was none other than Makarov's beloved grandson—Laxus!

After Polyushika had brought Makarov to witness Allen successfully receive Gram once more, Makarov immediately brought his grandson to Allen. This seasoned old man saw the situation as clearly as a mirror: the enormous potential within Allen could no longer be concealed, and given time, he was certain to shine brilliantly. Thus, he sincerely hoped that Laxus could build a deep friendship with Allen from a young age, so that the two of them could support each other and grow together in the future.
