297 Chameleon's Maze -6

[Ren Hilton POV.]

I examined the radiating stone in my hand, its size akin to a handball. If sold in the guild, it would fetch some fortune.

Turning to see Aron lined up just behind Erik, who was in turn behind Vexa, I couldn't help but quip, "Is this a school trip?"

Vexa, seemingly unaware of the two people standing right behind her, wore a surprised expression. How could she manage to sneak up on me and be so oblivious at the same time?

"What are you going to do with that wall... and the core too?" Aron's sudden chattiness caught me off guard.

I sighed and gazed at the black part of the wall in front of me, starkly contrasting with the grey wall itself.

I stepped forward and knocked on the black part, producing a metallic sound. To confirm, I tapped on the grey wall, finding it solid.

"Does anyone know how to overload a mana core?" I inquired.
