Chapter 138
Yan stood with the Soul Stone of the Human-faced spider resting on his palm, a sigh escaping his lips.
This stone was a spiritual elixir, its potency surpassing most others, capable of bestowing a resistance to toxins so strong that one could withstand a hundred poisons, if not a thousand.
Yet, despite the allure of such resilience in the face of the unknown, Yan was resigned.
“Alas...” he muttered.
The stone remained unconsumed, for the Phoenix Heart he had ingested not long ago still lay undigested within him.
To consume the Soul Stone now would be to risk bursting like a balloon overfilled with mana.
“Ah, what to do?” Yan pondered, considering storing the stone until the Phoenix Heart was fully absorbed.
But his heart wasn’t set on waiting.
“Why not give it to Cruel?” he thought. While the allegiance of Lorena, Charl, Kasa, and Roman was uncertain, he was confident in winning over Cruel.
As Yan weighed the benefits of feeding Cruel the stone, his face contorted with doubt.
“Isn’t this too much?” he questioned. The Soul Stone of Human-Faced Spider was a treasure, valuable enough to fund a baron’s budget for years.
