With enough room to breathe, Ned and Katolin rested. There were a handful of smaller ones remained, which were hesitant to attack after they saw how the Evolved Kruthik died.
Ned and Katolin took this opportunity to march forward the iron door.
"Don't get ahead of yourself, Ned," Rassus began as they walked the piles of bodies and holes scattered around the base of the tower. "This won't change anything just because you killed one."
"But it sure gave us time to breathe," Ned said and paused with Katolin nowhere to be found. Ned looked over his shoulder only to see that Katolin was breaking the belly of the Evolved Kruthik and harvests its Core.
She then went beside Ned and handed him the Core of the beast. Ned then took it back to his spatial dimension and thought that it could be sold for a good amount of gold back on the surface.
