Chapter 111: Tower’s Announcement
Razael clasped his flaming sword tightly, staring at the severed head of the massive snake, falling to the ground. He perceived no signs of life and it should have been worthy of celebration, but sorrow was painted on his face. He continued to flap his wings, levitating in the sky, while suddenly, the flame roaring on his sword began to dwindle.
"Kafziel..." He stared at the flaming sword in anguish.
His sword hummed in response, trying to intensify its flame as a form of communication with Razael. Razael went quiet, receiving the farewell of Kafziel, failing to restrain from weeping. Soon, the flames faded alongside the sharp part of the sword. The hilt began to turn into ashes as well, causing him to grasp dust.
Razael closed his eyes, recalling his journey with Kafziel, and took a deep breath, exhaling for a long time. His Bloodline Awakening deactivated, feeling weary all of a sudden. The momentum of his wings flapping decreased but Razael held on.
He then gripped the dust and condensed his light mana on his palm, enveloping the dust, dissipating it. Razael mumbled and said in a gentle tone, while his heart screamed in pain, "Rest in peace, Kafziel. Enjoy your eternal rest on His hand, may you live to the fullest in His paradise."
His heart was in peace, assuring himself that Kafziel would be in heaven now. He opened his eyes and began to descend. However, he suddenly felt his energy was totally sapped, causing him to fail to flap his wings and fall to the ground.
"Sir, Razael!" One of the ophanim bolted towards him, catching Razael just before he collided to the cold ground.
Razael was closing his eyes, not responding, but one of the ophanim perceived that Razael was meditating to replenish his mana points. He could not be disturbed. Hence, as the ophanim helped Razael sit in a lotus position, he stood beside him, observing.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up. Beast core of an Overlord rank!
The value of any core depended on the rank of the owner. The beast core below corrupted rank was pretty much useless. Beast core on the corrupted rank and above contained the purest form of mana–it has been filtered. However, the ophanim realized something...
He smacked his face lightly. The beast core of that massive serpent has an element incompatible for us!
