Though the duo was surprised, they quickly got over it since they could never understand Ozul's mood.
Since Irene had just left the inn, it would take her some time before she came back with a reason to force them.
In the meantime, Ozul decided to consume the Rank-8 Core he got from Duke Edwin. Ignoring the eager looks on Blaze and Raven's faces, he asked the latter for the Core.
Raven was confused as to why Ozul suddenly needed the Core because he had long ago stopped consuming them. When she asked about it, Ozul replied that he could not improve anymore by utilizing the Magical Cores.
She swiftly took out the Core from her Spatial Ring and gave it to him. Ozul took the Core out of her hand and inspected it a bit. There was nothing special except for the size.
He wasted no more time and wrapped the Core with his Ball of Purity. It was another thing he had learned from the 'unlocked memories'.
