And this is the final page of the comic. Shining has been completely absorbed, merged with Stheno's body. This is his final appearance, imitating most of Shining's features as well as magical abilities. Nevertheless, Shining is still safe, just trapped within Stheno's body, unable to interact with the outside world. Who knows how long Stheno will keep Shining in him and use all his abilities for his purposes?

Aside from that, Stheno is also a lot bigger here, with huge muscle mass, and also increased height. The shield he's forming here is actually infected with radiation. Anyone touching those will now also be corrupted the same way Shining did when he interacted with the goo. Stheno has now become more threatening than ever!
. . . And also he looks a lot better now too!

xylem is the one who commissioned the comic, and Stheno the Draconequus is his character.
