Approaching the portal (1)

Mars rolled the magic core from spotted earth wolf around on the palm of his hand. It was smooth and felt cold to the touch, just like the many other magic beast cores he had absorbed before.

"Oh well..."

Mars clenched his hand around the core and activated his energy drain skill before he then opened his had again and saw how the magic beast core crumbled into dust. Having drained the core he then tilted his hand to the side and let the dust fly off in the wind, with this core absorbed he was about 1/4th full on energy units.

"This will have to do for now I guess...."

Mars looked west, towards where he knew the portal was. As a living god of energy he was able to feel it by now, even though they were still a couple of months away from the portal, he was starting to get a little tense about it.

Iis it really the right thing to bring the girls..?'

"Mars... Mars?"
