With the assistance of the new branch, Alec was able to relocate some of the demonic beast corpses closer to the Mana pond.
He closed his eyes and tried visualizing the pond absorbing the carcasses, causing him to witness the emergence of tentacles made of luminous light elements.
These tentacles stretched out from the sides of the pond, piercing into the bodies of the dead beasts and extracting their essence.
Within minutes, Alec observed over two hundred Tier 3 demonic beast corpses being drained until they turned to dust.
Lifting his head, Alec noticed a small bar flickering like it was about to go off and it was almost halfway filled.
He interpreted this as a measure of the pond’s progress towards the next level.
Intrigued, he instructed the free branch to bring another set of roughly three hundred corpses near the Mana pond.
Alec was keen to see how much the pond could devour before ascending to the next level.
