With a somber expression, Dhruv continued to stare at the bonfire. He was truly happy that he had won the battle against the Queen, but still, there was something he knew he had lost.
As he stared at the dancing flame, Dhruv felt a part of himself slowly slipping away. He was losing something precious to him.
He wanted to continue staring at the flame but failed to do so as the words of his guardian reached him, "Master, do you need more cores, or will these be enough?"
"Huh! Ohh! Nah, that should be enough." Replying with a smile, he picked up a core lying beside him and crushed it.
[You have absorbed a tier IV core.]
[You have reached 100% saturation in your core. Do you want to continue evolution?]
[Yes/No]
'No, not yet,' Dhruv thought, looking at the screen in front of him. There were a few things he wanted to do before continuing the evolution, and first and foremost was upgrading his mutation.
Sigh!
