Hal broke out into a cold sweat as the realization that he once thought of fighting the Sea Dragon alone as a last resort flashed in his mind.
He would've certainly died had he attempted such a dumb thing.
Still, his assumptions proved correct: Chaos would always give him a way to complete the trials.
It's just that he needed to think hard, act, and continue looking for it.
Hal was snapped out of his thoughts the next moment as the white-scaled serpent dove for the core and devoured it as though it hadn't eaten for weeks and was suddenly presented with its favorite.
It easily crunched at the Megala Core, breaking it and swallowing all the energy inside.
To humans, doing such a thing was equivalent to suicide, and it was, even to beasts.
It was just that there was no other alternative.
The serpent was obviously a Devourer Beast, as it wouldn't even be hunting for the core, otherwise.
But being one doesn't guarantee that it will be able to digest all the energy.
