The gate had opened, yet neither Levi nor William's group rushed to enter.
William and the others did not dare to act before Levi, while the young man calmly descended toward the eagle's corpse. With a swift motion, he dug out the Monster Core, a bright golden sphere radiating intense light.
The value of that core wasn't in its level—but in the fact that it belonged to an S-Class monster.
Levi picked it up quickly and stored it away.
William and the others could only watch with bitter expressions.
Perhaps its price wasn't as high as an S-Class weapon, but it was still valuable enough to make the four of them extremely wealthy.
Of course, they knew their limits. They had already realized they wouldn't have been able to defeat the eagle without Levi's help.
Even with everyone cooperating, the battle that began in the early afternoon had only ended at sunset.
