The moment the black crystal was forcibly ripped from the chest of the Star Devouring Shadow Beast, the silver black patterns covering its body seemed to lose their source.
Large patches of gray silver light quickly faded between its bone spikes and fur, and the Level 34, Second Tier magical beast, which had still been raging moments earlier, finally lost its balance. Its enormous body crashed heavily into the ground, crushing several already broken trees beneath it.
BOOM!
A dust storm rose into the air.
But Victor didn't look at it because the thing in his palm was moving.
More precisely, it was struggling.
The thumb sized [Abyss Induction Crystal] had clearly already been removed from the Star Devouring Shadow Beast's body, yet extremely regular mana pulses continued to come from within it. Every vibration released an invisible wave of chaotic energy, as though it were still trying to reconnect with Leah's Astral Core in the distance.
