"Senior, why did you bring me here, exactly?"
Alan finally couldn't hold back and asked Blanche directly.
Blanche, however, merely chuckled softly without giving a straightforward answer. Instead, she strode over to one of the nearby steles and, without warning, delivered a fierce whip kick.
Boom!
With a deep rumble, countless cracks spiderwebbed across the stele's already weathered surface.
Moments later, the ancient monument, which had withstood the passage of countless years, collapsed entirely into a pile of rubble.
Amidst the debris, a massive mana core gradually emerged, revealing its shimmering form.
Alan stared in surprise and turned to Blanche.
"This is…?"
Blanche nodded with a faint smile.
"That's right. What you're seeing is a mana core containing the Origin Mana of one of the fantasy beasts."
