AN OLD FRIEND

“Worst dragon ever,” Zac muttered with disgust as he emerged from the dragon’s den.

He had expected to be met by a veritable sea of treasures upon entering the cave, but the only thing that had waited for him was an enormous mat and a small mountain of raw fire-attuned crystals. Certainly, the mat seemed to have been woven from extraordinary materials to create a soft and luxuriant feeling, but it was a far cry from the dragon’s hoard he had been expecting.

At least there was the actual carcass of the dragon itself. Such a beast was no doubt a living treasure, and he needed to harvest it before moving on. He had already given up on any hope of finding treasure on the ninth floor, so he needed to make the most of this beast.

However, Zac didn’t simply put the whole thing into a Cosmos Sack, but he rather chose to methodically harvest its body piece by piece. It would be a huge shame if the whole dragon turned to dust the moment he left the Tower, and this way he would at least be able to guarantee that some parts would make it.

Zac tried to pry off as many scales as possible, along with its two massive horns. He also dug out what he believed to be a Beast Core from its head, though he was a bit surprised since those things usually only appeared after reaching D-grade. The dragon was extremely powerful, but Zac suspected it was still in early E-grade, if even that.

He had heard a bit about dragons from Galau. They were terrifying beasts and among the most naturally endowed creatures in the Multiverse. They could grow impossibly large as well, making Zac believe he was only dealing with a youngling or a mixed-blood dragon.

Still, leaving anything behind would be a waste, so he even poured out almost all his containers to fill them with dragon blood. Enough blood to fill an Olympic-size swimming pool entered his dozen or so canteens and the magical barrels of liquor he had bought.

He did feed a lot of it to [Verun’s Bite] as well, but not enough to accidentally cause another upgrade. It took hours, sometimes days, for [Verun’s Bite] to absorb treasures, and Zac was about to potentially face an army waiting outside the gates of the Tower. The Spirit Tool was extremely interested in the Beast Core also, but it would have to wait.

It was a waste, but he could only pray that the Dragon Core would turn out to be real, as he might need Verun’s special skills for the upcoming battle. He had somewhat counted on the bronze flash to act as an ace, but there was no way that the Remnants were in a position to provide help anytime soon.

He had tried summoning a bronze flash over twenty times while carving up the beast, but nothing happened. The two Fragments entered his reworked fractals just fine, but when they met in his
