Leo opened his eyes and looked straight. The water that was falling in front of him looked mesmerizing. He immediately pointed his hand at the water and cast a Shadowbind Bolt. The bolt raced forward across the water and hit a Magical Beast that was on the other side.
It was a crocodile that was trying to sneak up on him. To its misfortune, it picked Leo of all people. He had seen it coming almost 5 minutes ago. He was amused at how it had been creeping in slowly and patiently.
The bolt had wrapped the crocodile up completely and was draining it of its strength. He walked out of the fountain and stepped on the crocodile who was floating in the water, trying to break free. However, since the tendrils were so strong, it couldn't move and was still enough for him to stand on top of it.
He stretched his arms and yawned. After yawning, he leaped from the crocodile and landed on a lily pad a few meters away. Normally, the lily pad would completely sink, but he was using his Magical Energy to strengthen it and keep it afloat.
He took another leap and landed on the bank of the river. He released the magic on the crocodile and started walking away. He didn't feel like killing it because he was in a good mood. He had been cooped up in the waterfall for two days and three nights, so now that he was finally out he could go back home.
He expelled the dust that accumulated on his body and leisurely walked to the Outskirts of the forest. He was enjoying nature along the way and maintaining a slow pace. If anyone looked, they would say that he was at a park and not a dangerous forest with Magical Beasts.
He eventually made it out of the forest and walked to the front gate. They just let him go without asking him anything. This was partly due to the high traffic. They didn't have the time to care about everyone who entered and left the place. This was also because of is young age. A young kid like him was probably just out to make some money. Nobody expected him to cause so many events that kept all the mages of the city stumped.
He walked to his house and lay on his bed. After an hour, he stood up and took out everything that he looted. He laid it on his bed. He had 4 dimensional rings, one Radiant Fruit, one spell book, and one 4th Circle Magical Beast corpse. Any one of these items would be worth tens of millions of Starcoins and would only belong in the Noble District.
One of those items would even start a war between Noble Families. The Radiant Apple was so sought after that people would kill to obtain it. The dimensional rings were each worth more than 10 million Starcoins. And the 4th Circle Magical Beast Corpse along with the Beast Core would also sell for over 10 million Starcoins. Surprisingly, that was the item that was worth the least.
Most importantly, he had the legacy of the mage called Valkyr. He had a spell that would be so helpful to him that it couldn't even be defined with money.
He first took out the dimensional rings to check what was inside each of them. He wasn't expecting much but wanted to see if there was anything. As he expected, there was only money and nothing else. However, combining the money in all the three rings he got from the cave, he had a total of 7 million Starcoins. This meant that he could go on purchasing sprees if he wanted to.
Based on how many resources he needed to get to the Late-Stage of Aura Knight he was in now, he would definitely need that money. Along with that, there was also the last ring that belonged to the Viscount.
This ring was adorned a little more than usual. He looked inside it and was shocked by what he saw. The Viscount had 10 million Starcoins and a staff. Leo immediately took out the staff and was amazed by it. The minute he held it, he felt that his magic was more powerful. This was a tool that would increase his magic power greatly.
However, he would have to be careful when using it. If people saw it and realized that it belonged to the Viscount, they would find out that he was the one who killed him. The staff was incredibly flashy, so there was a high chance that would happen.
There wasn't anything else in there, but just that made the ring worth more than the other ones. After that, he took out the Beast Core of the 4th Circle Purple-Eyed Golden Lion. The minute he took it out, he could sense the Magical Energy that was emanating from it.
The only time he had seen it was at the auction, but this time he was holding it with his bare hands. He was tempted to start absorbing it instantly, but he stopped himself. He had a better plan for it.
He went into the mind and held the Beast Core in his hands. For the second time, he felt an object was solid inside his mind. The Beast Core was so solid and didn't budge even if he shook it with vigor. However, he noticed that after a minute passed, the Beast Core had a small chip the size of a finger nail.
The core itself was the size of both of his fists put together, so the chip was negligible. But the chip was turned into dust and fell onto the plant. This minuscule amount had as much of an effect on the tree as 5 1st Circle Magical Beasts. He looked at the Beast Core with awe.
However, he didn't know what he had to do. Was he going to stay there for the entire time, waiting for it to chip away? That would take his entire day. It seemed like it would take several hours and he was filled with excitement to look at the rest of what he had looted.
So he decided to put the Beast Core at the root of the plant and see what happened. The Beast Core stayed there and didn't move. He went back to reality and saw that the Beast Core wasn't there with him. He went back to check if it was still there and saw that it was.
He smiled. To test something, he picked the Beast Core again and went back to reality. He saw that the core was in his hands. This meant that he could actually store objects in his mind. He put the core back at the base of the plant and thought a little about this possibility.
It wasn't as useful as it seemed, since he already had a dimensional ring doing that. Also, he would only be able to do that with extremely rare objects that contained great amounts of magic. Otherwise, his mind would crumble the object to dust. He put the thought aside and went back to the unboxing.
