Maria and Celaine left the Light Drake's lair full of enthusiasm, but unfortunately, this vigor was swept away within the next few days.
"That shitty drake! Not only did it eat all of its own treasures, but it looted everything useful in the surrounding area! Are you kidding me? No wonder it was so useless! It could only consume precious resources to force itself to evolve! What a waste!"
Maria complained.
The two of them have been scouting the nearby area for several days only to realize that there is nothing useful around them other than the overabundant Light Crystals.
They both still collected these Light Crystals even though they have thousands of them at this point. That's because not only are they useful to Maria, but they can also be sold or traded when they exit this Secret Realm.
