See, the thing about Yue Qingyuan's sword being so powerful that Yue Qingyuan's soul had to be bonded to the sword to survive is that...
It's a random ass sword that Sung Jinwoo happened to have dropped in one random universe. And we all know how Sung Jinwoo can control and resurrect souls into shadow soldiers...
Thus, every time Yue Qingyuan uses his sword, he slowing transforming more and more into a shadow summon.
[More in #YQY's Xuan Su sword is actually one of the shadow monarch (Solo Leveling)'s forgotten sword AU]

Profiles in Villainy
The Monarch
Malcolm Fitzcarraldo was just a child when his family’s plane crash left him orphaned and alone in a small forest in rural New Jersey. He believes that he was taken in by a colony of Monarch butterflies whom he credits with his survival. Years later, Malcolm joined the Guild of Calamitous Intent and was assigned the role of henchman to the super villain known as Phantom Limb. He broke with the Guild’s rules by moonlighting as a super villain himself, creating a butterfly-themed costume and calling himself ‘The Mighty Monarch.’ He did this primarily to arch his college nemesis, Dr. Thaddeus 'Rusty' Venture.
You see, hatred is Malcolm's true passion, his raison d'etre. He only feels truly alive when he can indulged in unabated rage and any time this anger begins to subside, it is replaced with a crushing feeling of despair. For reasons he was net yet aware of, this hatred has been primarily focused on Rusty Venture and 'arching' Dr. Venture has proven the ideal means of sustaining his much needed rage.
When his father’s fortune finally came out of escrow, Malcolm was able to become a sanctioned super villain and The Menacing Monarch was officially recognized by the Guild of Calamitous Intent. He built a sophisticated layer and hired scores of minions. These minions, also adored in butterfly-themed outfits, were known as 'The Fluttering Horde.' The Monarch would go on to further bedevil Dr. Venture as an formal arching endorsed by the Guild.
The Monarch would later marry his longtime lieutenant, Mrs. Doctor Girlfriend. Some time thereafter, The Monarch's obsession with Dr. Venture caused him to be kicked out of the Guild of Calamitous Intent. Around this time, he discovered that his father had secretly acted as the superhero known as The Blue Morpho. Aided by his most-trusted minion, Henchman 21, The Monarch briefly assumed the guise of The Blue Morpho so to circumvent the Guild and continue to torment Dr. Venture and his family. Thanks to Mrs. Dr. Girlfiend's influence within the Guild, however, The Monarch was reinstated and allowed to once more arch Dr. Venture.
The Monarch would eventually discover that he and Rusty were both clones created by Jonas Venture. The two are nearly identical brother save for a small portion of genetic material from a baboon that was aided to Malcolm so to avoid premature balding (with the unexpected side effect of a seething rage). Having grown bored with his cloning experiment, Jonas Venture kept his first clone as a son and gave away the second to the Fitzcarraldo family to raise as their own.
Having discovered the truth about his heritage, that his hated nemesis was actually his cloned brother, Malcolm was faced with a difficult decision about the direction of his life. With his wife's support and blessing, Malcolm chose to continue on as The Monarch and rededicate himself to crushing Rusty Venture and all he holds dear!
Actor Christopher McCulloch provides the voice of The Monarch, first appearing in the pilot episode of The Venture Bros., airing on February 16th, 2003.

I drew all the character I root for in the series!
Root for the villains? The antagonists?
Um.. yea
I know they will end up losing just like every other predictable plot out there but at least it’s feels better than rooting for the protagonist in this series somehow 😔🤷♀️
Personally tho
And I love how the three (Chloe, Luka, Kagami) is the only three who got more than one akumatized form.
Especially Chloe (my queen👑🐝)

By using Second chance Gabriel has really fucked himself over. Who know how many times he has used it. It has to be over a million by now between each akuma. And each time he uses Second Chance he is making him self worse.
Think of all the time he has wasted on pointless plans when he could have just been trying to find a cure for himself or even just spending time with Adrien.
But no this dude has wasted he life trying to get the Miraculous.
And Adrien is going to be left with no one.
