At first, Hade was skeptical. Was Luctudeus really going to give up the obelisk just like that?
Even if he had won under the terms of their agreement, it still seemed too good to be true.
"Oh stop being so paranoid, would you," Luctudeus cackled when he noticed that Hade was still maintaining his distance.
"If I really wanted to kill you, I would've done it already," said the mountain lord in a matter-of-fact manner.
"Besides, the energy emitted from that thing barely sustains me anymore. It wouldn't make any difference if I handed it over to you."
Upon hearing what Luctudeus had to say, Hade gradually began to relax.
Like magic practitioners, magic beasts also possessed magic cores and likewise, these cores also required nourishment from assimilated inherent energy to develop.
The only difference was that while magic practitioners had to meditate to accelerate this process, magic beasts' bodies did all the work for them.
