89 89. Loot

Noah decided to transfer everything except the clothes in his space-ring and then he threw Lena's cracked ring between the corpses.

He had then one empty deposit and one with things to evaluate.

'I have to take care of these things first.'

He looked in the corner of the cave where the dead bodies were amassed.

He neared the pile and his mental energy began to deplete as he stretched his arm toward it.

Black smoke came out of his hand and engulfed the corpses.

As everything in the corner was consumed by his spell, Noah analyzed its effects.

'The corrosion is indeed stronger if the distance between me and the smoke is small. Assea.'

His blood companion came out from his other hand and Noah concentrated.

Even more mental energy was expended as the body of the snake was being covered by the black smoke.

Initially, it seemed that Assea's body was becoming stronger but then it rejected the empowerment and started to corrode.
