20 Take Down (1/2)

'I feel like a stalker' Nero said, intrigued by how nefarious primal creatures could be.

In his view, a tri-horned deer was being viciously malled to death by a baby enraged boar. Its tusks had pierced through the deer's brain, making the sight unsightly gory.

”Now” Madison gave the last whisper, before pushing off the branch, right towards the fiery little beast.

Her blade glimmered as bright daylight reflected off, alerting the boar. Nonetheless, it provided no help as a moment later, similar to the deer, there was bloody scythe embedded in its brain, piercing right through.

Soon after, she ripped her scythe out like a hook. A nail sized, almost completely dissipated, ghastly white orb slushed out with some blood from the head.

'That is hella gruesome... what's that?... Oh' Nero realized it was a beast core, dissipating into beast essence.

He'd read about it previously. Unlike humans, beasts have the ability to their refined mana inside their body, usually in the head or in the developing Dan.

Some deducted that heaven was fair, and to make the beasts equally as strong as us, they were bestowed upon the ability to store their own refined mana, usually in a crystallized form.

Unlike humans, they could store large amounts of mana in their bodies, being able to use it in the time of need.

This was why Madison sneaked up on magical beasts, so they had no time to use up their crystallized mana. They were used as power sources, sold for quite a lot, 2 lion coins (10 lion coins = 1 golden lion coin), a weekly earning for a middle-sized family.

Nero became curious about something.

There was a technique Nero had made, possible by only someone with his level of control over mana.

To find his answer, he was going to model the dead baby boar, with mana.

He originally created the technique to model the inside of an inaccessible room, like the women's communal bath. It worked by the concept that Nero would set mana particles to move at a certain speed in a certain direction. If they collided with a wall in their path, like normal, a mental pressure would be formed, like feedback from the mana. by setting the speed of the particles he knew the distance they traveled before colliding with a hard surface.

He then mapped their movements with the help of Nova, scaled it down, and voila.

He created a model of inside the room, without having access to it, nor knowing a thing about it.

The technique was extremely unique, took great effort, mental pressure, and the hardest bit was saddled by Nova, the processing. Being the minimalist he was, Nero called the technique 'Scan'.

Now, with this technique, he was going to fill the boar's inside with mana and make a scan of it, secretly of course.

He'd already made Madison enough reason to call him a monster, anymore, and she may even start to call him the devil's son.

With the core in safely in the freezing cold section of her bag specially made to preserve the core from decaying into beast essence, she was ready to find some other monsters, this time, fighting one on one, to show off everything she knew, and then getting the hell away from Nero.

Nero, however, bent down, placed his palm on the dislodged head of the boar, and performed his technique.

All he needed was to mentally form an image of what the boar's inside was like, was it different to an average boar? He wanted to know.

His eyes were closed during the process and in less than a minute he was done.
