Tatiana suddenly called out before Liam could even turn away.
"Stop."
Liam paused halfway through his step and looked back over his shoulder. "Hmm?"
She stood beside the enormous corpse of the Bone Burrower, staring at it thoughtfully before pointing at the armored shell that covered most of its back.
"Help me find the beast crystal."
Liam blinked.
Then he slapped his forehead.
"…Right."
He had gotten so caught up in completing the mission and finally feeling his strength rushing back through every part of his body that the crystal had completely slipped his mind. Considering it was literally the reason beasts were valuable in the first place, forgetting it was honestly embarrassing.
"I actually forgot."
Tatiana couldn't help smiling.
"I noticed."
