The house was falling apart… with the Beldam dead, the power that once kept the Whispering Forest from creeping in was weakening with every passing day. It wouldn't be long before the forest swallowed what remained.
Lucky for Damon, he wouldn't be staying that long.
He tossed a few more magic crystals into his shadow, solving its insatiable hunger with his [Sacrifice] skill. It also helped boost his mana. The Beldam had quite a few magic crystals—but also a number of magical artifacts. Cursed ones, in her case. His heart ached as his shadow consumed them.
But he had to endure. So what if he could've sold those artifacts for millions of zeni? His shadow needed to eat.
So he sacrificed them all, keeping only the ones his party had deemed safe for use… and a handful of magic crystals. But even those were rare. He was going to need more soon.
He opened his system panel:
[HP: 585/585]
[Mana: 13,457/13,457]
[Strength: 834]
[Agility: 657]
[Speed: 1185]
[Endurance: 565]
