Though their minds were filled with worries, the return journey back to the Mage Tower had gone rather smoothly.
After Leon used a secret magic word to disperse the huge Wind Elementium body of Lightning Giant, within the blink of an eye, the massive monster simply turned back into seven crystal clear, dazzling magical cores.
Before Leon could put them all away, Bleia had leapt forward and placed them in her palms, giving them a good fondle and careful examination, while showing a look of great affection. After some time, as if just looking at them wasn't enough to express her love, Bleia actually brought the primary core to her face and kept stroking it gently, quietly feeling the slight tingling sensations caused by the tiny electricity sparks on her face.
Ugh... looking at this scene, Leon couldn't help but feel helpless, as some black lines appeared on his forehead.
