It was not difficult to find the exit as babel knew about few gateways connecting to dimension pocket and planet Amora, which were not far away from ophidian kingdom.
The exit of the dimension pocket was nothing but a deep well and as I jumped into the well, I felt a great suction trying to torn my body apart piece by piece but I endured the outside force and not even a minute has passed, I was thrown out of the other end of the well and found myself falling from the height of 300 meter.
Using [Lightning step] midair I arrived on the ground in blink of an eye landing safely.
'Ahh, this fresh air, the air of dimension pocket was clean but compared to purity and mana density of planet Amora's environment, it was nothing.' I said as I took few deep breaths and appreciated my surrounding.
'What do you plan to do now?' Merlin asked.
'First I will absorb the beast core of babel's ancestor.' I said.
'We don't know where we are and it will take you at least half a day to absorb the core, we should find a safe place first.' Merlin warned and I unfolded my soul force into my surrounding and the map of 10 kilometer of the forest surrounding me appeared in my sea of consciousness which I examined with panoramic view.
'Found it.' I said as I saw, 7 kilometer north to my position there was a hidden cave behind a waterfall.
[Lightning summon]
Transmuting my body through the lightning bolt I appeared near the waterfall and inspected the cave behind it, which was empty but there were traces of beast's activity.
'Ether cover the entrance of the lake and don't let any beast enter, kill them if you need to.' I said and ether blocked the massive entrance of cave, while I also deployed few lightning bombs around the cave entrance which would be enough to kill low tier beasts.
I sat down and retrieved the beast core which was completely suppressed by the seal merlin has implanted unlike dragon king noob's core which was emitting golden rays of light even after it was sealed.
Sitting down I gulped the beast core but didn't guided it toward the core center instead started absorbing soul force from it.
'Babel's ancestor must be furious; all his efforts to resurrect are gone down the drain' I thought and absorbed the soul force from the core faster.
The cores of human, demon and beast were divided into three categories, from rank 1-4 were basic tier cores, from rank 5-8 were the intermediate tier core and from rank 9-12 were the advance tier cores.
A persons future potential was also determined by how powerful beast core he has merged with, because it is his only chance to break out of the shackles placed on him since birth by universe.
There were other beast cores as well which surpassed rank 12 and categorized as Mythical cores, but they were too scarce in mortal realm.
There were many ways to absorb the soul from the cores, but two methods were widely used as stated by merlin.
The first method was to use [Soul Eater] technique on the beast core and absorb the soul without consuming it; it was the most efficient way to extract the soul from the basic and intermediate tier cores.
But if someone is wishes to absorb soul from the advance tier cores, it is recommended to consume the core, and absorb the soul directly because there is a faint chance that the person will not only gain soul force from the core but also some additional traits of the beast without merging with the core.
The moment the core reached my abdomen my stomach started to burn as if I had eaten burning coal but enduring the pain I focused on refining the core.
A gush of soul force entered my mind which I haven't felt before and my head started to hurt like hell but it was the indication that the core belonged to a transcended entity.
After continuously absorbing the beast core for 10 hours it finally emptied leaving the empty husk which soon dissolved inside my body and I felt a boost not only in my soul force but also in my overall strength.
[Soul force: +52 million]
[Host has gained poison immunity, the poison of entities below rank 10 will not harm host. (Poison immunity will increase as host evolves)]
[Due to eating a potent husk, all stats has risen by +5]
'Hehe' I laughed seeing the notification window in front me, this short trip was much more beneficial than I thought.

'I also got boost of 2,00,000 units in my mana reserve for defeating demon jabel an aura master, I wonder how much soul force I will gain after I have consumed demon makia's beast core.' I decided to absorb demon makia's core next but merlin stopped me.
'I would like to buy the demon makia's core from you for 6,000 fate point, I know it is not much but I would like to research his soul and see if I can extract some information about outside world.' Merlin said and I contemplated about his offer.
The core of demon makia wasn't anything special therefore I gave it to merlin without much thought and stood up in my place.
'By the way, I am done analyzing those two red gemstone you obtained after defeating that golem.' Merlin said.
'So, what is it?' I asked merlin.
'The golem used the two gemstones as if they were weapon, but they wasn't supposed to work like that, in these two gemstone a strange energy has been stored with the knowledge of an ancient technique to control beasts.' Merlin said.
'So it is a beast taming technique, well it is of no use to me.' I said because I was not interested in learning beast taming and raising a beast force, whom demon king and his dukes can destroy with the flick of their fingers.
'Let me give you some detail about the content of this technique, in these two gemstones there is an ancient beast taming technique is stored, recorded by the legend Meeker.' Merlin repeated his unfinished sentence once again but this time my eyes shot open in amazement.
