Chapter 15: Void rock
It was currently getting late; the sun was no longer up in the sky, and the clouds were no longer as bright as before. It was common sense for explorers to look for safe places to hide whenever they were exploring and night came, or to return to the city if they were close enough.
While returning, Alex moved along the path where he had fought magic beasts and retrieved their corpses into his space pocket. He would place his hands on the corpses and cast the spell, making the beasts disappear into thin air.
After some time, he had finally stored away the last beast's corpse and was ready to return. He took a look at the space of his space pocket using his consciousness and saw that there was still enough room for more beast corpses.
As much as he wanted to keep hunting, he really had to return so Alex took out his compass to know his exact location.
After figuring out the direction of the city, he dashed toward it without wasting any time.
Along the way, Alex came across the place where he had encountered his first beast which was the Three-colored rabbit.
Something caught his attention as he was about to run past and he came to an abrupt stop.
Alex walked over and picked up something from the ground, it was a piece of colourless rock that looked very out of place even though there were other pieces of rocks around the place.
He held the piece of rock up and examined it; he could feel the chaotic mana radiating from it, yet at the same time, it felt like it didn't contain any mana.
"What a strange rock," Alex mumbled to himself; he couldn't recognise this rock even from the memories of the previous Alex; this was the first time seeing it for the both of them.
Luckily, he didn't have to stay in oblivion for too long as the skill of his mask kicked into action the next moment.
