As Xavier crossed the pool suddenly the water rippled again and he quickly moved away but this time the lifeless body of the creature popped out of the water floating on the surface.
"Is it dead?" Xavier muttered to himself as he slowly approached the beast.
The beast mouth was opened and Xavier used his sword to touch the beast to confirm it was really dead.
Xavier turned around to leave before then remembered beasts had crystal, and with his skill Arcane siphon he could extract the Mana, and a beast like this would definitely have more Mana than normal.
Xavier had no idea where the beast Mana core was so he had to open it up, and his sword couldn't penetrate the skin so he had to go through the mouth.
Xavier sighed, realizing he had more work to do. He stepped closer to the beast's mouth, carefully prying it open.
