章 181: Revelations

Mira's heart beat rapidly as she waited for Alex to speak.

"I can't tell you why, but I can't absorb this beast core." Alex revealed, his tone still as serious as ever.

"I-" 

Mira attempted to get a word in, but Alex cut her off as he started speaking again.

"Nor can I absorb this one."

He spoke, as he took the beast core he had looted from the darkness beast that was summoned when the Count sacrificed the residents of Monty town.

'What?'

In place of the nerves and anxiety she was feeling just a moment prior, she felt utter confusion seeing a second Variant class beast core appear in front of Alex.

"Alex, what are you saying…"

She was finally able to get a word in, and she could only question Alex's actions at that moment.

Mira knew that Alex wasn't the joking type when it came to things like this, but it all just didn't make sense to her.
