Chapter 14: Life Stone
Finally.
Pushing his hand into the open heart, Damian delightfully pulled out a small stone. Although it was gray, it somehow shone in white.
jackpot.
Damian couldnt tell the identity of the heart at first glance. However, he could more or less guess its use.
Besides, there was no reason to grasp at straws when he had a convenient tool within his reach.
[ Life Stone: The crystallization of an otherworldly beings life energy. Can be used as an energy nurturing resource. ]
I knew it!
Some special monsters might drop materials specific to a certain quest, but the majority of normal monsters dropped ability boosters!
In Iris case, this was definitely something that could help her advance her Aura ability!
Hey, Iris. Do you know what this is?
{Oh? They even have Magic Stones?! Wait No. This looks like a Magic Stone, but the color is different. The ones I saw from afar were blue.}
Iris alternated between shock, and confusion before finally settling on curiosity.
While she was personally never granted a single Magic Stone, Iris had studied quite a bit when she was little. So, she was somewhat knowledgeable about Magical Beasts and the resources contained in their hearts.
Nonetheless, she never expected that these strange green creatures would have something similar!
And what is the use of a Magic Stone?
{Knights like me can use it to assist their Aura Nurturing process, Mages have other uses for them}
Iris was trying her best to provide as much information as possible, but Damian only seemed to pay her half his mind. His eyes were completely focused on the stone in his hands.
{D-dont tell me you actually plan on using it? Im sure you know best, but it would be a waste to use something like that with a body like mine}
It didnt matter that this stone looked different, Damian could just go back if something was wrong with it. However, Iris didnt want to waste the fruit of his efforts for nothing.
Since she could barely accumulate any Aura over the years, Iris wasnt allowed even a single Magical Stone.
She might have dreamed of using it once and achieving the impossible, but Iris eventually understood everyones perspective as she grew up.
Dreams were nothing in front of hard cold reality! Iris believed that Damian could find many better uses for the stone than utilizing it with her body!
Damians inner perfectionist wasnt satisfied by the mistakes, but he had to constantly remind himself that this wasnt a game. It was already a miracle that he got this far using an actual body
Without further ado, Damian used the opening he made to cut further into the stomach. He then forced his hand in to fish for the heart.
Disgusting.
The mess that came along with it was probably another reason why Damians mind didnt try to think of another dissection option until he forced it to do so.
Gotcha.
As for the result of this lootbox
Another one!
It was another winning ticket!
Damian was still tired, but the constant jackpots motivated him to directly go for the third Goblin. Since the time consumed was reduced to about 5 minutes, it felt like it was all going to be over soon!
Bummer
Unfortunately, the third Goblin was a dud. However, since another Aura charge had regenerated in the meantime, Damian went for the fourth and he was happy to have done so.
Only one was empty so far, but Damian was forced to wait for the next ticket scratching.
So it takes about ten minutes for each recharge?
After waiting for roughly 5 more minutes, Damian was able to wield one more Aura charge. That meant he would need a whole hour for a full regeneration.
Lets hope this will change soon.
Thankfully, the wait was worth it, the fifth and sixth Goblin were both winners!
God, please dont let it be a dud!
Dropping back to the ground to rest some more, Damian looked at the Hobgoblins corpse with dread. This was obviously going to take more than one Aura scalp to open it up.
As much as Damian was happy to get 5 winners out of six, he couldnt help feeling that this diminished his chance of getting something out of the Hobgoblin
...Optimistic thoughts only!
Once he got one more charge to work with, Damian stood up with determination. There was no use wallowing in fear.
At the very least, what awaited him after was still going to be exciting whether he got something out of the Hobgoblin or not!
