When the glow vanished, only two things remained on the dungeon floor: a glowing monster core, and the remnants of its flesh and hide being devoured—drawn into Raito's body by the pull of Greed. The energy surged through him, faintly glimmering with mana as the skill absorbed its strength.
Raito's lips curved into a faint grin. This strength… it's overflowing. I feel different. Stronger.
A metallic chime echoed in his head.
[System Notification: SX Minotaur Strength acquired.]
[Strength attribute increased. Power of the Minotaur absorbed.]
The glowing text hovered briefly before fading, and Raito clenched his fists, veins surging with newfound energy.
"So I really did gain the Minotaur's power… Does this mean I'm as strong as one now?" He flexed his hand, excitement burning in his eyes. "I'll have to test it soon. But first…"
He bent down and picked up the shimmering monster core, tucking it into his inventory before pressing deeper into the dungeon.
