Bab 140: Bitter reality

After Dilan collected all Essence crystals, he found something near Pyro's corpse that attracted his attention.

Dilan reached out for a small bright red gleaming object. It was terrifyingly hot and increased the temperature in the immediate surrounding by several degrees.

But even if that would be enough to scare others, Dilan picked up the searing hot marble he had found.

"Just what is that…?"

Dilan was extremely confused. He couldn't absorb the marble and didn't dare to do something foolish such as consuming it, either.

He could clearly sense that it would burn him alive if he were to try swallowing the marble.

Burning from the inside out was not something Dilan wanted to ever feel in his life.

As such, he spent a few minutes calming his mind before his focus returned to the marble.

"This marble must have dropped from Pyro…but why?"

Because the marble had been lying right next to Pyro's body, Dilan could be quite certain that it manifested after Pyro died.
