This Beast-Tamer is a Little Strange

Chapter 211: Chapter 211: Relic Core

The golem held its ground against the black dragon, each clash of scales against stone sending tremors through the chamber. Despite the turmoil, Kain's focus remained on the

"I don't think it's truly escaped." Serena said coldly. "Although whatever was controlling the dragon is an unusual creature, it still has a soul, otherwise you wouldn't sense a pull from it. Its soul was divided and sealed with its dragon host in a variety of relics. When it exploded the dragon, it didn't just destroy its host, it also completely abandoned its material form as well.

I could sense its spirit for a fraction of a second. Normally that spirit would also be trapped within the relic, but taking advantage of the explosion the spirit escaped, and as an incomplete spirit it can't exert much power. Most likely, the portion of the spirit will make its way towards the nearest relic containing another portion of its soul with the aim of eventually becoming whole."

'She could sense it for a second? Does her affinity have to do with the spirit or souls? But based on the contracts of hers that I know of, that's not quite right…'

"Although this is just a theory, I do have a method of confirming for sure. But it will come at a great cost. It'd be better to just inform the school and have them investigate for themselves.

After all, if this portion of the soul is added to another relic, it'd suddenly strengthen the trapped creature within that relic, meaning that another one of these prisons would likely re-emerge in the future."

Hearing Serena's explanation, Kain was a little more reassured. If it had taken the opportunity to start infecting everyone in Dark Moon right now, Kain would have thought it'd have been better to not even try to get the core.

After all, although the relic was clearly beginning to fail and it'd likely have escaped in the future anyways, it'd have still been better if its escape was far off rather than now.

However, if their entrance into the relic resulted in it damaging itself enough to escape that it was only the powerless remnant of a soul until it joins with another piece, then he could say that they'd at least accomplished something worthwhile.
