25: The Monster Core in the Crack

"Monster Core!"

"A pure, natural Monster Core?"

"No, it's more than that..."

Maintaining the existence of this space was a massive Monster Core.

It was roughly the height of a building.

Lin Ti, who had Melted many Monster Cores, could recognize at a glance that this thing was a gigantic Monster Core.

But there were some differences...

The Monster Cores he had Melted before usually possessed evil power, more akin to life than an object.

The energy of this Monster Core in front of him crushed those ordinary Monster Cores.

Compared to a living organism, it was more like a special object.

It was precisely because of this that the Monster Core could maintain the existence of this space.

"It's too rare, too precious."

Lin Ti almost drooled with envy.

If he devoured such a Monster Core, how much Light Energy could it provide him?

Of course, using such a rare Monster Core purely for devouring would be too wasteful.

If used for research, he could conquer how much knowledge in the database.

It could even be used as energy to design and Melt various weapon cards and skill cards.

The final design and manufacturing of the Fire Finch Armor could also be greatly accelerated.

Even the Fire Finch Armor's ultimate power would be far higher than what was in the design.

Not only that.

Lin Ti could also feel that this Monster Crystal had other uses.

Within the Monster Crystal, it seemed to envelop and hide other power auras.

In short...

"My dear Summoner, quickly take it down and give it to me!"

Cheng Yang couldn't hear Lin Ti's shouts from within the Summoner, and his speeding motorcycle drifted sideways, stopping a hundred meters in front of the massive Monster Crystal.

"Is this the core that maintains the existence of the spatial rift...?"

"So big."

"And, it's a bit like the material of a Monster Crystal, and the aura is somewhat similar."

Today's Cheng Yang was no longer the ordinary person he once was.

All aspects of his body had already surpassed human limits.

His Light Armor compatibility had also increased to over 90%, and with the amplification of the Summoner, even without transforming, he could use a portion of the Light Armor's power.

Therefore, he could sense the Monster aura of the Monster Crystal in front of him.

He could even feel a sense of danger.

He gripped the Summoner, dismounted his motorcycle, and approached the Monster Crystal step by step.

In a dead silent space, the rain continued to fall quietly.

But as soon as the falling raindrops touched the Monster Crystal, they were like drops on a scorching hot iron plate, turning into a white stream of steam.

This caused a hazy mist to constantly float around the Monster Crystal.

"Click."

As he got closer, a sudden sound rang out.

Cheng Yang almost instinctively raised the Summoner, protecting himself, his gaze locked on the source of the sound.

A hideous monster, twisting, crawled out from a corner in the rain, rushing towards Cheng Yang.

The monster was similar in height and size to an adult, soaked by the rain, with only some thin, soft carapaces covering its chest, arms, and head.

It looked like a premature monster, fragile.

Its speed in pouncing on Cheng Yang was even slower than that of an ordinary monster.

Facing the pouncing monster, Cheng Yang quickly delivered a side kick, sending the monster stumbling back a few steps.

'Is this... a monster?'

'How can it be so weak?'

Cheng Yang looked at the monster in front of him in disbelief.

Compared to the monsters he had fought before, this monster was vulnerable in terms of defense, speed, and strength.

Even ordinary adults, if they ganged up, could probably beat this monster.

Without time to think, he quickly caught up to the monster, his legs swiftly attacking its lower body.

With just one kick, he knocked the monster to the ground.

Then, he straddled it, one hand gripping its neck, the other raising a fist to strike its face.

Soon, the monster's defense was broken, and it exploded into a cloud of smoke, disappearing.

Only a small piece of Monster Crystal remained on the ground.

The Monster Crystal was only the size of a soybean, seemingly insignificant.

Cheng Yang raised the Summoner, collecting the Monster Crystal into it.

[Light Energy + 1]

...Only one Light Energy, no wonder it's so weak."

"What's going on? How can there be such a weak monster?"

Cheng Yang straightened up in confusion, while Lin Ti carefully examined the tiny Monster Crystal.

Then he ate it.

[Light Energy + 1]

After only a brief study, he confirmed that this Monster Crystal was connected to the massive Monster Crystal.

It was as if it was born from that massive Monster Crystal.

Then, isn't this Monster Crystal...

It has the ability to create these "underdeveloped" monsters!

Sure enough, just as Lin Ti made this guess, Cheng Yang, who had straightened up, also noticed.

More and more sounds echoed in this eerily quiet world.

Figures, like ghosts, continuously emerged from the depths of the rain.

Their crimson eyes gleamed in the night of the rain, growling lowly at Cheng Yang, then swarming him from all directions.

Even though he confirmed that this monster's strength was not much stronger than a human's, seeing so many monsters swarming him still made Cheng Yang's scalp tingle.

Steadying his mind, he no longer hesitated.

He quickly pulled out the Light Armor card from his embrace, and looking at the platinum armor on the card, Cheng Yang's slightly flustered heart quickly calmed down.

The silver-gray metal belt had already been wrapped around his waist by the Summoner.

He quickly pressed the Summoner against his waist, then inserted the Light Armor card into the card slot.

Click.

"Armor of Light, Combine!"

As the card was inserted, a powerful force instantly surged from his limbs.

Platinum light rose from his feet, enveloping his entire body, outlining a tangible form, transforming into platinum armor.

In an instant, several pouncing monsters, before they could even understand what was happening, were shattered by the golden light of the transformation, turning from warm monsters into cold Monster Crystals.

The power of the armor brought Cheng Yang immense peace of mind.

The monsters' movements also instantly became incredibly slow.

Cheng Yang clenched his fists and slightly bent his knees.

Then, he charged out like a dump truck, and the monsters along the way were shattered into pieces, turning into cold Monster Crystals.

"Light Energy, this place is simply a holy land for farming Light Energy!"

Looking at the monsters in front of him, Cheng Yang felt that the dazzling array of skills in the Summoner's shop were no longer so noble.

But soon, the number of surrounding monsters began to sharply decrease.

Cheng Yang then realized that the monsters here did not seem to be infinite.

As he dealt with the last monster with a punch, this world returned to silence.

Each Monster Crystal was also collected back into the Summoner.

A total of 103 Monster Crystals, totaling 103 Light Energy.
