Zed did not immediately kill this young mate who appeared barely past eighteen. More than anything, it was the boy's unique abilities that had attracted his undivided attention.
The ability to generate spores from the carcasses of monsters, though clumsily utilized, had certainly triggered Zed's interest.
It was far from the known method of harvesting energy spores, and Zed found himself curious about the origins of such skill.
"Could there already be awakened ones who have developed such abilities this early on?" Zed mused aloud.
Moreover, the youth possessed a good amount of spores. Zed had discovered eighteen of them scattered in the boy's pockets and various pouches on his belt.
15 fireball spores, 1 speed spore, 1 healing spore, and 1 spore that was unrecognizable to Zed.
"All fireballs?" Zed muttered, surprise in his voice.
