Chapter 16
[...The corpses of gem beasts have a lot of value. Every individual part of their body, from a drop of blood to a cut of skin, is useful. Brothers, you should know that a long time ago, the Bednicker family head killed three of these terrible gem beasts and used the materials to strengthen House Bednicker.
If we can retrieve an entire corpse, it will be a huge benefit to the church.
Of course, I cannot understate the danger of gem beasts, but even though it’s been 17 years since the Lord of Blood and Iron slew three of the beasts, the reason no one else has defeated one isn’t because the beasts are strong. It’s because no one knows the whereabouts of these mysterious creatures.
However, thanks to the incredible work of the brothers of our church, we have succeeded in finding the habitat of one gem beast.
This gem beast is as big as a small mountain, has azure scales, and can chill the body down to the bone.
The church has named it Sapphire Snake due to its outer appearance and special characteristics.
We postponed the initial mission and used the base in the mountain range to collect information about the Sapphire Snake.
During that time, we discovered a rare mystic elixir called the extreme fire herb, and we started research on mass-producing it.
Our attempts were somewhat successful, but before long, we discovered a problem. As you know, brothers, it was because of the appearance of the disrupter.
