Questions piled up as the last glow faded from the cauldron's skin.
How does this devouring actually scale?
Was it only corpses… or could items count too?
Would the cauldron accept them?
Michael gut said yes, but there had to be limits. Ordinary junk wouldn't move something that even the Eye of Truth couldn't pry open. If it could eat anything, then rarity, integrity, and concept density would surely matter.
He glanced again at the panel in the air.
[Devour Complete.]
[Essence Assimilated: Monster Corpse (Rank 3).]
[Evolution Points: 355.]
"Three hundred and fifty-five…" Michael murmured, frowning. For a Rank 3? It felt low—insultingly low, given the pressure a genuine Rank 3 could exert.
If this was all he'd get per corpse, then increasing his undead would still be more efficient in the long run. Five hundred undead meant five hundred steady evolution points per day, without burning resources.
