Abyss creatures do not record history, or rather, they do not record history that has no relation to survival.
So, the current Abyss creatures generally do not know that the Abyss Dominator Samuel initially was just an ordinary, even somewhat weak, Bone Demon.
The talent of Bone Demons, as such, isn't actually weak. Their diet is varied, and they can even consume minerals.
Moreover, they can strengthen their skeletal frames, which resemble Alchemy Machines, by devouring different foods.
Unfortunately, although Bone Demons possess a good talent, this is a long-term manifestation of talent.
In the environment of the Abyss, if one cannot quickly turn talent into survival ability, such creatures can only serve as fodder for powerful demons.
And Samuel was just such a demon.
But unlike his kindred, Samuel successfully manifested his talent.
Richard looked at Samuel, now reduced to just a skeleton, filled with amazement.
