Before Ruby and I head off to do that, I pick the heart out of the thing and eat it raw.
⟨⟨-DING-⟩⟩⟩
- Devour skill has been activated! Agility +10 Speed +20
⟨⟨-DING-⟩⟩⟩
- Congratulations, the Devour skill has advanced to level 2!
√ Devour
√ Level 2.
- You can become stronger by consuming the flesh of strong enemies.
I love that skill! It's a nice agility boost, but speed? I hadn't even seen a speed stat before. That thing was incredibly fast, so it makes sense. Then I take its beast core and stare at it.
"ITEM."
√ Beast Core
- Quality: medium
Would you like to absorb it? Y/N
"No."
I clean the beast core and then set it aside. Ruby looks at me strangely when she notices it.
Ruby says "You're not going to absorb it?"
"No, I plan to save it for the next time I need to develop a skill."
Ruby says "That's okay. I guess that's a smart move considering how the skills are spent."
