Silence settled over the dungeon once again. The storm of fire and frost had passed, leaving only faint steam and scattered ice along the cracked ground.
From the fading bodies of the serpents, glittering remnants floated gently to the floor.
Soft blue light pulsed from the 4 round cores, each the size of a clenched fist, their surfaces lined with frozen crystal veins. And Two Skill books, engraved glowing arcane symbols, landed beside them with a thud that echoed faintly in the cavern.
Ryu stepped forward and inspected the loot.
[ Beast Cores: Crystalline Ice Serpent (E) x4 ]
[ Skill Books: Crystalline Ice Armour (E), Poison Fangs (E) ]
He gave a satisfied nod. "Not bad. Hard mode really pays off well. At this pace, it won't be long before I stop caring about coins."
Smiling to himself, Ryu stored the loot into his Fusion Lab with a flick of thought. Then, without wasting time, he pushed deeper into the frosted caverns, continuing his hunt.
