It looked almost harmless, like some oversized stuffed animal brought to life.
The fluffy fur still flickered faintly with heat, the residue of sun mana lingering in its body.
Isaac crouched down, examining the creature more closely.
The mask on his face didn't stop his curiosity from leaking through in his tone.
"This is what I was chasing? Something that looks like a giant pillow with legs?"
Isaac shook his head.
He had seen the monster's speed.
If that thing rammed into someone, it could throw them to kingdom come.
"It's cute on the outside, but deadly on the inside."
Leaning closer, Isaac noticed something glinting faintly beneath the creature's fur near its chest.
A small shard, glowing faintly.
He reached forward and pulled it free.

He held the shard up.
It was smooth, shaped like part of a puzzle piece, glowing softly with embedded mana.
"One down," he muttered.
His eyes went back to the fluffy monster.
