Chapter 444: The Plan

Kain's mind raced as he stared at the towering war machine, its glowing core pulsating with black and red ominous energy.

The high-level Abyssal guardian was down, thanks to Benji's sacrifice of one of his enchanted daggers. Considering it was Benji's only 7-star weapon that he'd splurged on in preparation for his breakthrough, to a high-level beast-tamer, Kain could only imagine how much the sacrifice had hurt. However, he could also understand the urgency he felt to finish this mission quickly and get Aura treated.

However, while they were the first group to get rid of the guardian, the machine itself was a different beast entirely.

Its surface was smooth, almost organic, with black and dark red veins filled with abyssal and other energies coursing through it like blood through arteries that led up to a glowing core.
