After his encounter with Chaosdramon X, Allen's desire to successfully assimilate Chaosdramon X grew even stronger. Although he knew his current physical strength and Magic Power levels were insufficient for full assimilation, he wasn't discouraged. Inspired by Elfman, Allen decided to start with partial assimilation.
At this moment, Allen had a clear goal in mind: to materialize Gram and the indestructible Aegis from Chaosdramon X's hands. He dedicated himself wholeheartedly to repeated attempts. His efforts paid off; after numerous tries, the general shape of the weapons appeared before Allen several times. However, each time, at the crucial moment of success, his efforts were in vain due to his fatal weaknesses of insufficient Magic Power and physical strength, leading to failure.
Facing these repeated failures, Allen didn't give up easily. Instead, he calmed himself and seriously contemplated the reasons behind them.
After deep thought, Allen gradually figured it out: perhaps because Chaosdramon X was a higher tier than LordKnightmon, its Magic Power requirements were correspondingly higher.
With this realization, Allen decisively changed his strategy. He stopped fixating on materializing Chaosdramon X's weapons and instead tried to summon the limbs and weapons of LordKnightmon before it acquired the X-Antibody.
Allen quieted his mind, concentrating all his energy. His consciousness continuously attempted to establish a connection with Chaosdramon X. The process was long, sweat beaded on his forehead, and his body trembled slightly, but his gaze was incredibly firm.
As Magic Power gathered, a knight's spear, emitting a faint glow, slowly materialized. Though still ethereal, it was a significant breakthrough. Allen gritted his teeth and continued to pour Magic Power into it. The spear became clearer and clearer, but just as it was about to fully form, Allen felt dizzy. His Magic Power was about to run out. He knew that if he gave up now, all his previous efforts would be for naught. Thus, he forced himself to draw wisps of ambient Magic Power from his surroundings to replenish himself.
Finally, with a flash of light, the Gram of the regular LordKnightmon was successfully materialized!
However, as Allen's Magic Power was depleted, the Gram that had just appeared vanished.
Allen collapsed on the ground, exhausted, but a happy smile spread across his face. He knew now that if he continued to strive along this path, he would one day be able to fully assimilate Chaosdramon X and unleash its immense power.
After recovering his Magic Power, Allen found Polyushika, who was busy.
"Grandma, I can materialize the weapon of the being inside me."
Allen's words struck Polyushika like spring thunder. Her eyes filled with disbelief and joy. She looked at Allen eagerly, her voice trembling slightly, "Really? You can truly materialize the weapon of the being inside you? Do you feel any discomfort after materializing it?" As she asked, Polyushika mobilized her own Magic Power, carefully probing Allen's physical condition while trying to sense the presence of that mysterious power.
Allen nodded, his eyes shining with excitement. "Grandma, I'll materialize it for you to see." He stood in place, began to concentrate, and slowly extended his hands. As Magic Power gathered, a soft white light gradually appeared in front of Allen. This white light gradually shifted, finally taking the form of a spear. The next second, Gram appeared before Polyushika.
The moment Gram appeared, Polyushika sensed its extraordinary nature. She felt an unprecedented pressure emanating from the spear, as if even the air had become heavy.
"Grandma, look, this spear is called Gram, and there's a matching shield called Aegis," Allen said with a hint of excitement. "I can only materialize one at a time right now, but I've established a connection with the being inside me. I know its name is Chaosdramon X, and its predecessor was a member of the Royal Knights who guarded Yggdrasil."
The moment Allen announced he could materialize the weapon within him, an indescribable excitement surged through Polyushika. As Allen materialized Gram, her senses reached their peak. The instant Allen's consciousness space slowly opened, Polyushika felt an unprecedented energy fluctuation – the power of Chaosdramon X. Its energy level was far beyond her imagination.
A flicker of shock crossed Polyushika's eyes. She knew that the existence of Chaosdramon X meant Allen's destiny would be vastly different from that of ordinary people.
Allen tightly gripped the handle of Gram. Although his body was not yet fully developed, his will was firm, and he struggled to maintain the spear's materialized form. However, for the young Allen, maintaining Gram's existence was undoubtedly a tremendous drain. Sweat beaded on his forehead, and his arms trembled slightly, showing he was fighting against his own limits.
Seeing this, Polyushika quickly said to Allen, "Quickly release the assimilation. Grandma has seen it, and now Grandma is completely relieved." She knew Allen had proven his ability, and the most important thing now was to protect his body from overexertion.
Upon hearing this, Allen nodded. He understood his grandmother's concern and gradually relaxed his control over Gram. As his consciousness space slowly closed, Gram's physical form also began to dissipate, eventually turning into a white light and re-merging into Allen's body.
Polyushika looked at Allen, her eyes filled with pride. She knew Allen's future was limitless.
In the following days, Allen diligently and persistently, under Polyushika's careful guidance, gradually strengthened his body and cautiously absorbed Magic Power from the air. With the medicinal baths meticulously prepared by Polyushika, he didn't have to worry about his current training causing any potential hidden dangers or internal injuries to his body.
At some point, a small shadow began to follow Allen during his daily training. This little fellow was none other than Makarov's beloved grandson – Laxus!
Ever since Polyushika brought Makarov to witness Allen successfully materialize Gram again, Makarov decisively brought his grandson to Allen's side. This seasoned old man clearly understood in his heart: Allen's immense potential was undeniable and would surely shine brightly in time. Therefore, he earnestly hoped Laxus would build a deep friendship with Allen from a young age, so that they could support each other and grow together in the future.
