Chapter 19 - Flame Heart Crystal
As Kael regained his composure, something odd caught his attention.
It wasn’t the fact that Lucien had an Item Box. What unsettled him was what he saw.
His gaze drifted back to the severed head.
"...Wait a moment," Kael muttered with his eyes narrowing. "Young master... you stored this in your Item Box right?"
Lucien nodded slowly. "Yeah. Why?"
Kael’s brow furrowed deeper as he crouched to examine the head.
"But... how can it still look this fresh? It’s warm. And there’s still blood... Fresh blood!"
Lucien raised an eyebrow. "What’s the problem?"
Kael straightened, clearly baffled.
"The Item Box is a spatial container but time still flows inside it. Organic things decay. And liquid seeps out and mixes with other items. But this... this head looks like it was just severed. Still full of warmth and blood..."
His voice rose with excitement and his eyes lit up like he had discovered a divine secret.
