Chapter 1075 I Shouldn't Have Left Them Alone (Part 1)
Earlier, when Evan saw Valery in Base City Five, he noticed some abnormalities in her core.
Similar to Daniel, her core was also at the S+ Rank, but unlike Daniel's core, which was consuming his life force to forcefully increase his power beyond S rank, Valery's core was in a natural state.
Although it seemed as if someone had forcefully increased the rank of her core beyond S rank, this alteration didn't negatively affect her in any way.
Initially, Evan was confused when he observed this and couldn't understand why she was not affected just like Daniel, but soon, he detected a faint aura of a Monarch Core emanating from her core. for new novels
The aura was very faint as if it was missing something crucial to fully develop into a Monarch Core, but even this faint aura had increased the limit of her core beyond S rank.
The reason Daniel's core was continuously absorbing his life force to maintain the rank of his core beyond S was due to the lack of World Essence on Earth.
Without World Essence, it is impossible for a core to surpass S rank. However, since someone had forcefully elevated the rank of Daniel and other hunters' cores beyond S, their cores began to absorb their life force to compensate for the lack of World Essence.
In Valery's case, her core didn't absorb her life force because the faint aura of the Monarch Core had enhanced the power of her core to the point that even without World Essence, just by using the mana, her core was able to maintain its power level at S+ Rank.
Although Evan was puzzled upon sensing the aura of a Monarch Core in Valery's core, he didn't have time to dwell on it because, shortly after noticing the aura, he discovered a strand of a soul hidden deep inside her core.
Although he couldn't understand how such a soul strand appeared in Valery's core, he couldn't care less about this matter for the time being because he was currently communicating with Elora about the last words the soul strand had said before it was swallowed by the Halberd of Destruction.
"Elora, don't refine her soul," Evan immediately said to Elora the moment the soul strand was absorbed by her.
"Huh?" Elora was stunned when she heard Evan and her nervous voice rang inside his head. "Father, that soul disappeared."
"Disappeared?" Evan raised an eyebrow when he heard Elora, but soon something clicked in his mind.
"Was it because it was just a soul strand, not a complete soul?" He asked in a low voice.
"Yes, the source of that soul strand was connected with this woman," Elora said as the tip of the Halberd pointed towards Valery on its own. "The moment it was swallowed by me, it lost its source power and turned into pure energy."
Evan fell silent upon hearing Elora, thinking over what had just happened as the events flashed through his mind.
"From the reaction of that soul strand, it seems that woman knew Azroth and was even beaten by him in the past..." He muttered to himself, looking at the Halberd in his hands. "Even the reaction she showed when I took out the Halberd of Destruction was not normal as if she was aware of its nature and was extremely afraid of it."
As Evan spoke, his gaze shifted towards Valery, who was lying unconscious on the top of the ice mountain.
"Maybe this dumb woman knows something about that soul strand," He said in a low voice and walked towards her.
