Quinn drove his other arms deeper...to find the core of the drake! He won’t let that thing pass! That’s a treasure for sure...iits best to give them to either the two as it will greatly help them by absorbing it.

After a moment of raving the corpse, Quinn found a tennis sized core with a deep crimson hue...the warmness it radiated was hard to missed, a unique core as it was bigger compared to the core he collected previouly!

’Good stuff....hehe I hit a jackpot this time!...’

Before he could finished his celebration...a usual chimed was heard..

Ting...

[Corrupted Core...not usable for the time being]

[ Core Cleansing is necessary.]

’What?...what kind of core is this? Why she system informed that is corrupted one?...’

Quinn slowly walked... curious to know what happened to the core. As he keep thinking, only one possible reason he can think of, and thats related to the mind control the beings from the top integrated into the mind of the drake, the mind control from above slowly corroded the minds and core of the being, turning it into a corrupted one!

If his speculation are right...then those beings with higher tier who got controlled got a corrupted Core! Not only the mind was affected by the mind control but also the deepest part of a being and that’s their core! Also related to the soul... that’s why he got a bad feeling that the being waking and moving was just a husk... simply a broken piece of thing.

It was because the cores of the being was slowly being devoured by those ghouls from above...

Quinn shivered from the mere thought...he will surely become a husk if he didn’t got a system! Thankfully the mind control didn’t affect because of his lucky encounters...

’Phew..too bad I can’t use this for now, but it’s still worth it. I can just store this core inside my inventory until I can find a way to cleanse it...it’s not a problem because both of them still got a cool down approximately 1 month so it’s not really urgent matter...’

Quinn didn’t realize that he already arrived to the usual massive door as his mind was occupied at the moment...

"Congratulations for winning the battle rat! Im impressed I give you that...don’t disappoint us in the future..." The mocking voice was gone as it was replaced by satisfaction...the Nekoball ball was in good mood.

Quinn only nodded his head, even if the Nekoball is quite in a good mood...that doesn’t mean that he can just disregard what the being said!

’Quinn...how was your arm, is it okay?’

Lyra said telepathically...not wanting to show her worried face in the presence of the Nekoball.

’Fufu...Lyra was so worried that she keep sending me thoughts non stop!’ Alice teased...like a mischievous kid.

’Hehe..is that so? Well that’s good to hear...and related to the question...I am okay, as you can see my ba

Blackened arms was now back to the peak!

Quinn swayed his arms... trying to show it without giving a proper idea to the Nekoball...

’Hmmn...thank goodness, why did you even do that? You promised us that you won’t get yourself hurt right?...’

’Sorry about that...I wanted to test the skill I recently got if it can handle such beast, I didn’t expect the recoil to be devastating.’

’ Fufu..you can just use any skill...that fire of mine is quite unique and it only worked like wonder if I am the one who use it...it’s even more harmful to those go got scorched by that fire, so it’s understandable to recieved such a devastating recoil.’

’Hmm...Im curious to know Alice....is the skill only exclusive to you?’

’Fufu...yes, I don’t know for sure but if I used the skill it can either heal or destroy...if you still remember last time, when the time you tier up I’ve encased your body with fire right? That’s what made the fire exclusive, though it was known that purple fires corrode and destroy and it’s one of the deadliest fire aside from the hellfire.’

’Hmnn.. now I understand.’

They keeo taking turns left and right while sending a telepathic conversation between the three of them..

And for a moment...the Nekoball disappeared, not wanting to waste it’s time on insignificant rats..

"Hoh...at least that shit was gone.."

"Don’t say that Quinn...they might hear you!"

"Fufu...don’t mind that, the Nekoball will turned deaf after showing them a satisfactory performance..."

"Hehe...then that’s good."

"Quinn...what your current stats now? Even Alice said that he can’t defeat that Drake without using all of her strength!.."

"Fufu... I’m curious to know too, how could that possibly happen? We even spar just recently and you can barely evade my attacks, that Drake was so fast you know even if go a massive frame."

"Hehe... nothing really significant. My current stats now is 600 each stats!..Also I got a new skill called Blink, I can just blink my body at a vest fast speed in short distances."

" What?!! You already got 600 stats each?! How is that even possible?...." Lyra was shocked to hear what Quinn said! Thats just insanity If anyone can claim that he got 600+ stats each within a small moment of time!

Alice was even more shocked that her mouth hung open... enough for a potato to fit!

" Is that even possible?...how did you gain that much?." Alice asked..

" Hehe...it is related to the soul bond, basically I got a stat boost because we got bonded..."

" Hmm...I guess that explains the power boost you got. Well it’s a good thing, the chances of surviving for a another battle is now possible."

" Yeah...but that not my intention, I want us to escape in this place and I’m still finding a way for that."
