[Liollmon]'s form was suited for dueling, while [Leomon]'s form was suited for everyday life. And most of the time, Dark's Magic Spirits needed to prioritize "everyday life."
Having completed the test, Dark returned to the laboratory and continued another line of research alongside [Liollmon]'s Directed Alchemy—[Coronamon]'s Directed Alchemy.
[Coronamon] was the pre-evolved form of [Firamon].
And if he wanted to summon [Apollomon] in a duel, the three-star [Coronamon] was obviously more suitable than the six-star [Firamon].

The Directed Alchemy Equation for [Coronamon] overlapped in part with that of [Liollmon], so some of the materials they required also overlapped.
Dark had prepared some of the materials in advance. He only needed to add the remaining materials before beginning the experiment.
April 23rd, 2 PM. The materials were in place. The experiment began.
Dark cultivated another [Pride Fruit (Lion)] and used it as the core material for the alchemy. About forty minutes later, the experiment concluded successfully, and he finally created his first [Coronamon].

Its skin and fur were flame-red. It wore identical ring ornaments on its forehead and wrists, while blazing flames burned from the ornament on its forehead and the tip of its tail, making it look like a spirit of fire.
Dark withdrew his gaze from the card face and injected
