The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1640

Chapter 1640: The Core

Remi looked down at the collection of plants that she had managed to find here.

The strange man that Cara ejected had been right. The plants here were dismal. The place was a Supreme Ranked space at some point, but it was nearly completely depleted of energy, leaking every time that it made contact with another world.

That had caused the plants to wither and degrade, but if she planted these and nurtured them, she was certain that her space should be able to at least bring their potential back to the peak of Immortal Grade resources.

That should be more than enough for her alchemy needs, once she figured out what they all were and what they did.

Anything that had even a remotely magical aura had been collected, as this place was dying anyhow. So, she had quite the variety ready for planting, while Thor and Rae had nearly as much.

Rae had avoided the ones that glowed, and Hawk only took the fire element ones. But Thor focused on the ones that smelled like they might be tasty.

That would come in handy when they got back to the Tiny World, as he could replant some of them for food crops.

"Hey, I think that I found something, but I don’t know what to call it." Nyan called from a few hundred metres away.

Dana rushed over to see what the cat had found, but she couldn’t identify it either.

It looked like some sort of statue, but she had no idea what species or deity it was supposed to represent.

It was heavily weathered, which didn’t help, as the whole surface had been worn smooth. But still, it didn’t match anything that she could identify, and it was too symmetrical to be a creature of chaos.

"You’re right. I have no idea what that is either, but it is magical. I know Runecrafting, and the magic feels similar, but with all the runes worn off, I don’t know how it would still have magic.

Unless they’re inside the stone?"

Karl came over and examined the stone. There was magic to it, but definitely not runic magic. It felt similar, in that it seemed to come right from the fundamental level of the rules of magic. But it wasn’t anything as refined as runes.

Perhaps it was shamanistic?

"Remi, come check this out. It might be a shaman statue."

The Naga rushed over, and had her bodyguards pick up the stone so she could examine it.

"That is strange. It’s magic, but it’s not shaman magic, either. It’s not elemental in nature. I think it might be related to the Fundamental Rule of creation. It feels almost shamanistic, but more primal, like it doesn’t belong to an age of sentient creatures, but the formation of this space.

Oh, that’s it. I think that it might be the core stone for this space!"

Nyan stared at the stone. "We probably shouldn’t take that."

The group quickly spread out, looking for signs of what might have been the altar, but they also took the time to search the area around where Nyan had found the statue. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

With so little information to go on, all that they could do was to search everywhere, and there were more than a few ruined stone buildings in this place.

There were also many graves in this place, Those killed in battle, Karl assumed.

Though, if they were trapped in here and starving, some might have resorted to finding new and innovative food sources, which could have easily led to poisoning if they were incapable of self-healing.

That appeared to be a common predicament for some Immortals.

How they hadn’t thought that regeneration at the very least would be in their best interest, Karl didn’t understand. But so many of the warrior types focused entirely on combat skills and simply used potions or allies for their healing needs.

Even his stabbiest group member at least had a healthy regeneration rate to fall back on, plus life leech and other basic self-healing methods.

Karl let his mind wander as he searched for the altar, and eventually found himself standing in front of a ruined stone staircase. There was a partially broken lion statue on one side, but the other was empty.

There, that should be it.

There was a raised stone at the top of the stairs that should be the right size to fit the base of the other statue. Now, they could put it back, and the core of the space should function as well as possible.

He would say properly, but given the condition of it, that seemed unlikely.
