The plumes of smoke eventually drifted into the air, revealing a deep crater at the spot where Shadow's Oblivion had slammed into.
Nox stared at the several carcasses piling inside the pit and couldn't help but feel regret. "If I had known, I could have brought Astralux. She'd have extracted all the monsters' cores."
He sighed and jumped into the crater a moment later. 'I guess I'll do the hard work myself. It's times like this I wish I had telekinesis.'
Nox placed the first monster core into his inventory and rested a hand on his cheek. 'When this whole thing is over, I think I'll go on a little vacation and just look for powerful skills to copy. Yes, I'll do jus—'
While Nox was absentmindedly thinking and retrieving the beast cores from the carcasses, the surroundings began to tremble.
Rumble! Rumble!
Nox's expression changed slightly.
The sound felt like the marching of a thousand-man army rushing to war.
