It was indeed unmistakable just how much Skullius cherished Vali's superb achievement.
The Bashful Abomination had never felt more attractive to Skullius. It had been a great asset, of course, but it was always an option. Before this, it wouldn't have been a stretch to say Skullius held Demion's Dance in higher regard than the Bashful Abomination, especially after its awakening during the Premium Age Royale which pretty much saved his, Tallo's and Maxim's lives against Baddan.
This was not to even mention the fact that it hadn't finished evolving to its greatest height, as it had held itself back because of the rules of the Premium Age Royale.
And there was also the mystery of Irisa.
In the battle against Rias, when he was given the title of Game Master, Skullius had seen her; after the EverSword heir had conjured the Cluster General and killed him and several other contenders. The Hybrid Luman was certain that Demion's Dance's awakening, was tied to this somehow.
