Perhaps the Spider Queen was too feeble, for absorbing her soul only granted Sebastian 20 Soul Value points.
Yet, the successful absorption brought great reassurance to Sebastian, confirming the true potential of the Dark Radiance Stone had been unlocked.
As long as he continuously vanquished BOSS-level enemies, he could empower the Dark Radiance Stone, providing a clear direction to complete the quest of liberating the Silver Lunar Elf.
After the Spider Queen's soul was absorbed, Sebastian collected the fallen equipment and materials.
With the task completed, the group readied themselves to depart.
Having now advanced in rank, Sebastian planned to address the remaining intelligence quests in Darkstone, including those involving Nightwolf and the enigmatic Yomu.
As his level increased, his time in the newbie village would wane.
This was the ideal moment to wrap up the lingering quests in Darkstone.
