The Defiler

After consuming the rare Black Crystal Marrow, the Magical Beasts laid down around the Wizard's Pagoda, bathing in the immensely beneficial white fog as they seized the time to assimilate the energy released by the Black Crystal Marrow, trying their best to break through the bottleneck they reached in their cultivation. This was especially for these three Magical Beasts -- the Purple Rat Little Ice, Thousand-faced Mink, and the Giant Ape King. They had already reached the very peak of a level nine Magical Beast, just a mere step away from advancing to become a Level Surpassing Magical Beast. They understood that the Black Crystal Marrow was a treasure they could not get too many of the moment they put the energy-dense Black Crystal Marrow in their mouths, finally seeing the hope of breaking through to the stage of a Level Surpassing Magical Beast.
