'Use Greed on Level 100%'

 Magicules from the barrier began to gather around Shiva's palm. His hand began to suck them in and adding them to Shiva's own stockpile of magicules. Then Shiva felt a sharp pain in his right arm and decided to put top left one also on the barrier. Now two hands were absorbing the magicules preventing more damage from happening. Veldora watched as Shiva sucked in all of the magicules slowly, Shiva's palms and horn were glowing red as he did that. Shiva's eyes were closed as he focused on the using his special ability.

 Finally after a minute or two barrier broke and Veldora smiled but before he could say anything he could feel that something was wrong. All of his strength disappeared and he fell down to the ground. In front of him stood Shiva who was struggling to keep of all the magicules inside him. Veldora was to weak to move or speak so he watched Shiva until he closed his eyes, the last things that he saw was Shiva and black stripes appearing on his body. 

 Shiva suddenly woke up and looked around, cave was now much darker and quiet. As he grew confused and...lost, like he forgot something. Shiva stood up and looked further around the cave, his night vision and Magic Sense came really helpful to see in this darkness. But what he saw made his all memories come back to him...

 He fell back to the ground and his breath became ragged and quick. In front of him laid giant skeleton of The Storm Dragon Veldora Rajin. Shiva got vision of first the barrier breaking but then Veldora feel to the ground and his skin and flesh were changed into magicules and were absorbed by Shiva's ability Greed, that is what he felt with his Magic Sense

 Shiva also looked around and it would seem that all the magical ores that light up the cave also disappeared and now much more calm Shiva asked the Great Sage. 

'Great Sage, Greed absorbed every magicule from the environment, right? Then why are Veldora's bones here? Wouldn't they change into magicules and be absorbed by me?'

Answer. All questions are correct. Bones were left due to the magicule absorption limit. 

'Limit?'

Answer. After your rank up from Ogre into a Kijin your magicule limit that can be stored into your body was increased and thanks to the Red Horn it was even higher. Those magicules that you absorbed became your own and you can use them at any time while they will regenerate. But Veldora was a True Dragon, being of pure magicules. That is why, those magicules that you weren't able to absorb were changed into a from of tattoos around your body.

'Huh? Tattoos?' 

 Shiva looked down at his body and thanks to the Magic Sense he saw red tattoos around his body that were made out of magicules. There were symmetrical and placed all around his body. He also saw that his top pair of hands changed. His nails on that pair became sharper and blacker then the other ones. Hands of that pair are also red in color reaching halfway to the elbow. As if he dipped them in blood.
