After looking at the strange orb for a bit, I didn't go and pick it up.
Instead, I used the Staff of Earth to create a hand out of the dirt to pick up the orb.
There was nothing that happened when the hand of dirt picked up the orb, so it didn't seem like there was any form of corruption energy that was inside of the orb. This orb just seemed like it was nothing more than an ordinary orb.
After looking at it for a bit, I put it into my Storage Ring.
For now, there was something more important to take care of rather than trying to figure out what was special about this orb.
When the orb was put into the Storage Ring, I turned my attention to the demons that had surrendered.
The ones that ran were cut down, but the ones that surrendered were herded into a group and gathered together so they wouldn't do anything. With the way that they were cowering, it didn't seem like they would do anything, but no one let their guards down for even a moment.
