"Impressive..."
The words slowly came out of my mouth unconsciously as I watched the sight of carnage surrounding the Constellation, Virgo.
A mere person seeing the way the monsters died would only chalk it down to a spontaneous explosion. However, the process was more complicated than that.
Every monster has a Core, a place that houses its energy and allows them to function, similar to a heart.
Just like breathing is for humans, a monster constantly takes in Aspects and converts them into corrupted miasma as they inhale it. These corrupted Aspects enter their Core and are processed to serve as energy and sustenance for the monster.
