NOSTALGIA

The beast cores had formed a hexagonal shape connected by rings of light, and Anthony was simultaneously absorbing them all using the one in his hands as a medium. The beast howled again, this time it was getting closer. The shadow of the sun was quickly fading in the horizon. Once it got darker, all kinds of beasts, ghosts and walking corpses would arise in the perilous lands, wandering around in search of victims. And that was exactly what Anthony was hoping to avoid. But he entered a trance and lost track of time, making him unable to notice what was happening around him.

Seven of the beast cores crushed at the same moment, turning to powder. The energy inside them had been expended before others since they belonged to lower ranked beasts. The ring of light mended itself and Anthony continued to absorb the energies emanating from the beast cores.
