The cave was wrapped in silence as Damien and Ruyue intently watched Zara, trying to glean any changes that occurred within her body after she ate the Death Seed.
However, to their dismay, there was nothing. Zara simply stood still with her eyes closed and savored the taste of the creature she had just ingested.
"Hm? Shouldn't there be some sort of wild gust of mana or something right now?" Damien questioned.
"I'm not sure about any of that, but I'm certain there should at least be some changes." Ruyue was also doubtful about the lack of reaction. Even the rapid stat boost that Zara was supposed to be experiencing would have some sort of physical manifestation.
The system relayed their physical abilities as stats, so that's how they were usually referred to. But they weren't simply status points in a game. Every time one received a boost in their stats, their body would experience a change, no matter how minute it was.
