Leon just stared silently for a few seconds. He genuinely had no idea what had happened.
But during the tiny instant before the items shattered... Leon had felt something.
A presence. Cold. Ancient. Watching him.
It only lasted for less than a second, but Leon knew he had not imagined it. The feeling had been far too real. Almost as though the items themselves had possessed some sort of will.
"...Whatever."
Leon eventually shook his head and moved on. There was no point obsessing over destroyed equipment now.
Instead, he immediately consumed the essences.
Nom! Nom!
The moment he did, warmth surged throughout his body as massive amounts of energy spread through every muscle, bone, and vein inside him.
Ding!
[+8,500 Strength, +6,700 Agility, +5,000 Constitution, +3,000 Spirit]
Leon exhaled slowly. The increase was indeed enormous, the biggest one he had ever had yet.
