Bab 39: The Tragic fate of greedy Troglodytes

Roy's greedy eyes were on the Boneworm's corpse.

There was a rune stone somewhere inside it.

Rune Stones, like soul shards, were rare.

Humans couldn't merge with them; only beasts could.

Humans, however, have mastered ways to make optimal use of them, and Roy could use it to increase his defense without merging with it.

An item that would grant him a superpower was within his reach.

Yet, he couldn't immediately hold it.

Rustling noises were what he heard just as he was going to start dissecting it, indicating that an army of monsters was heading his way.

There was no time to waste. He didn't want to get pincered attacked by monsters of different types. The subspace opened below the monster's corpse, devouring it. The Troglodytes' corpses were also messily thrown inside it. Left were the Fruits of Light and the Fruits Night. The tree, their birth mother, had shattered.
