Richard didn't spend much Aether to kill all the beast infants inside their eggs.
From outside, Augus couldn't believe what he was seeing—Richard, whom he had thought would only ever be a star in a remote village, suddenly wielding such overwhelming power.
Up to this point, Richard hadn't even gotten off his horse.
But to his surprise, Athena began eating the eggshells.
Apparently, their nutrients were useful even for a Primordial Beast like her.
Richard didn't stop her since Athena wanted to eat, but he couldn't wait around. He dismounted.
"Return on your own later," he told her.
Athena nodded lightly, and Richard went over to Augus.
"I'll ride with you," he said before climbing onto Augus's horse.
"Richard, why is your horse eating?" Augus asked curiously, but Richard couldn't be bothered to respond.
Hua! Hua! Hua!
Receiving no answer, Augus gave up and urged his horse back toward the village.
