Bam!
A silver panther slammed into the ground at the foot of the hill.
Grey slowly walked closer to it, just as he was stretching his hand to extract the core, he noticed someone jumping to the front of the panther, carving a hole on its head, removing the core.
He looked at the silhouette properly, only to realize it was the Lightning Elementalist from the triplet.
The Lightning Elementalist gave him a look of contempt, before moving away with the beast core. This panther was a Late stage Origin Plane magical beast, so its core was valuable.
Grey shook his head before he started climbing the hill. The hill was only around one hundred meters high or so, but the beasts that were on the way were all in the Late stages of the Origin Plane.
