Chapter 106 - 106: Profit!
Vincent used the daggers to cut open the flesh, bones, and several other parts of the body of the monsters, as well as chop off their claws and fangs in a way that seemingly looked no different than a painter drawing on a canvas in the eyes of John.
"Do you get it?" Vincent asked after he finished dismantling a few monsters.
John shook his head, and he said, "Nope, it is too hard to follow and difficult to understand."
Vincent's way of dismantling monsters seemed too complex in the eyes of John, so he was unable to comprehend and learn from it.
"I am just controlling the movement of my hands precisely with utmost concentration. Nothing too difficult to do as long as you try. If you don't get the hang of it in a single try, then keep on going at it until you do. There are a lot of monsters waiting to get dismantled, so you have a lot of chances. You can damage them as you wish as their hides, flesh, and bones aren't necessary. Just take out the heart with your hands as it's necessary."
Vincent gave a dagger to John and motioned to John to dismantle the monsters as he will learn more about dismantling by performing it a few times than watching it.
"I will give it a try," John said as he gripped the dagger in his hand, smashing it into the flesh of the monster to open up its body so that he will be able to acquire the monster core if there's any inside and heart with elemental blood.
"Except for the monster's core, the claws, fangs, and crystalline ruby eyes of these monsters are also precious treasures. Don't forget to pick them up," Vincent said, doing his work faster than John.
"I understand." John nodded.
Following his instructions, he began to dismantle one monster after another. As this was his first time dismantling a beast, he was very clumsy and damaged the useless furs and flesh of the monsters in many ways. However, after several attempts at dismantling a monster without damaging its hide, he began to get the hang of it and began to perform much better than before.
Grim Gore is a monster whose body contains five precious treasures, and they are its claws, eyes, fangs, dark monster core, and dark elemental blood extractable from its heart.
The blacksmith can smelt the claws and fangs of these monsters to create weapons of different types. Similarly, a blacksmith can purify and smelt their eyes into a liquid form and pour the content into a mold to give birth to magical accessories with body strengthening effects.
Furthermore, an inscriptionist can use its dark elemental blood to create darkness or curse-type magic scrolls.
Lastly, the monster core of this monster is either the compressed form of negative magic power that acts as a poison to humans and demi-human or dark energy.
The dark energy was a true treasure that is necessary for creating Dark-type magic scrolls.
Most importantly, a person can absorb dark energy from the core and dissolve it into the mana in their heart to give birth to dark elemental mana.
A person can increase the effectiveness and damage of dark type abilities two to three times by channeled dark elemental mana into their ability cells to use their ability!
The rank of both types of monster's core depends on the quantity and purity of dark energy and magical energy.
"Hmm, interesting." Vincent's eyes widened in surprise after reading the information about the dark monster core shown on the holographic screen in front of him. He was surprised to found out that even mana can evolve into a higher form of energy called elemental mana.
Several moments later, his surprise increased as he found a Dark-type monster core from every Grim Gore at or above the third rank of the magical realm.
It was unthinkable to find cores in beasts below rank three on planet Earth. Yet, in Xavier, every monster at or above rank three of the magical realm condense their internal energies into a magic power core and dark energy core.
Vincent just found out about that; he believed that it is related to the fact that Xavier is a world's connecting space where magic power was in abundance, unlike Earth, where magic power seeps into the world from the cracks in space.
Sometime later, once Varth finished photographing each piece of evidence, he began to help them out with dismantling the corpses of the monsters.
He came equipped with equipment created for the sole purpose of dismantling monsters, so while he dismantled three monsters, Vincent dismantled two, and Peter dismantled one.
It didn't take long for them to dismantled over 50 corpses of monsters.
The best thing they got from all these monsters was the ruby eyes of the behemoth.
[Item Name: Damaged Ruby Eyes of the Behemoth Grim Gore!
Description: A set of unique material that a blacksmith can smelt into a unique accessory with the effect of gathering negative energy present in nature and making a negative energy barrier around the user's body out of it on command.
Note: As the eyes of the behemoth had been severely damaged by daggers thrust and supernatural attacks, you'll need to use all three of them when creating a unique accessory.]
Vincent licked his lips as he looked at the detail of the craftable materials in front of him.
He said in his mind, "It's a rare freakish material! If I make an accessory out of them, I will obtain the terrifying defense of the Grim Gore."
It will be hard to injure and kill him once he gets surrounded by a negative energy barrier.
Attacks that can't break the negative energy barrier wouldn't be able to injure him.
This effect alone was terrific!
"How are we going to split the profit obtained from selling the materials?" Varth asked after everyone stood under the protective tent-like barrier.
He was low on cash as he didn't take many things before running away from home.
Furthermore, his stock of amplified bullets and mana crystals has decreased significantly in the battle that has just taken place.
He now urgently needed money to restock on his trump cards.
The materials that the four of them obtained from the monsters are exchangeable for contribution points in the markets of the military academy.
A student can not only purchase items for contribution points in the military academy's markets, but they can also sell items in exchange for the contribution points.
"We get what we earned."
Vincent explained that they would earn all of the profit obtained from selling the monsters they killed all alone. In contrast, he will have the profits obtained from selling the materials obtained from the monsters they hunted together will be split among the four of them according to their contributions.
"Am good with that," Varth said. He had a lot of solo kills, so he accepted his proposal amiably.
"I am fine with taking what I earned," John said.
He didn't feel the need to fight for more profit as he felt embarrassed as he barely did anything in the battle against the monsters.
"Me too," Leilani said.
She felt that that's probably for the best. There will be no infighting among them as Vincent will justly split the profit between them according to their contribution.
"With that out of the way, let's head inside and take care of the Tree of Evil," Vincent said as he turned to look at the dark entrance of the cave with a severe expression.
It's time for the demonic monster that has killed a lot of people to face judgment!
