"Philosopher's Stone?!"
I raised a brow, hearing the identity of the red crystal.
"You mean, the thing that needs to sacrifice millions of human lives to make?!"
[What...? No?]
"Oh..."
It looks like I was wrong about it.
[The philosopher's stone is an ore that bathes in an endless stream of energy along a dragon's vein. As such, it has an unbelievable amount of energy inside it. Be careful.]
Well, we were planning to end the fight in a short exchange, but now that Nero used that, it'll be impossible to achieve.
"Leader..."
Fang, who was still within my embrace, squirmed a little uncomfortably. Looking closer, my hand was holding something soft and squishy, so it was probably due to that.
I quickly let go of her, letting her stand by my side as we watched Nero's transformation. The energy waves he was releasing were threatening, even though we were so far away from him already.
