New Ruler

Shane noticed that he had to let Umbra fight this battle alone and that he shouldn't intervene which caused him to jump from Umbra's head.

He landed in the Nightflower field, as his feet sunk into the muddy soil which forced him to envelop mana around them. He then was able to distance himself from the fight that destroyed the surrounding Nightshade flowers.

Sighing deeply when he saw this, Shane began to wonder if they were still worth something. 

Their effect might decrease when damaged, but that would only decrease the resulting potion's quality. As such, collecting them after Umbra killed the Colossal Darkness python would be better than letting them rot.

He didn't even question if Umbra would be able to kill the Colossal Darkness python. The reason for that was obviously the difference in their strength that was monumental.
