“An orb that stores the energy of human souls collected from these criminals? That’s going to be remarkable!” said Mo Fan.
“Exactly, that asshole Takagi has gone so far just so his Sky Ridge Beast can evolve to the Ruler-level… bringing harm to people’s lives just for his personal gain, despite his identity as the commander in charge of the West Guardian Tower. How detestable!” snapped Mochizuki Chihaya furiously.
“The orb is seriously able to raise a Summoned Beast to the Ruler-level? Anyone with the slightest selfish desire would surely go for it. I always felt something fishy about that Commander Takagi. He looks like the kind that would pursue power more than anyone else. I bet he’s tired of his role as the warden of the prison, but he discovered the treasure, and will do anything just to secure it,” analyzed Mo Fan.
It was common for people to be greedy, especially those with high positions!
“We’ll be taking the Essence Orb. Otherwise, if Commander Takagi found it, he will surely kill my brother to silence him,” said Mochizuki Chihaya.
“Mm, you’re right. Considering how evil the thing is, maybe I should be the one keeping it. I wouldn’t want the Twin Guardian Towers to be involved in a disaster,” said Mo Fan.
Judging from Mochizuki Chihaya’s description, the Essence Orb was clearly useful for powering up the soul of a beast. It would be extremely useful for his Summoned Beast. Mo Fan knew that refining the soul was an important requirement for a Summoned Beast to evolve. Only with a stronger soul would the beast be able to surpass its limits and grow stronger.
Frankly speaking, Mo Fan was interested in the orb. His Swift Star Wolf had been stuck at the current level for quite some time, and it was most likely due to the level of his soul. If he could help the creature refine a stronger soul, perhaps the Swift Star Wolf could improve to a higher level.
A piece of treasure that could level a Commander-level creature in the Advancing Period to a Ruler-level creature. He was definitely not asking too much if he was planning to use it so the Warrior-level Swift Star Wolf could level up to the Commander-level, right?
“You better not think about trying to keep it to yourself,” Mochizuki Chihaya’s eyes chilled.

“Hehe, I was just saying,” Mo Fan shrugged.

Following Iwata’s instructions, Mo Fan and Mochizuki Chihaya headed deeper into the East Guardian Tower. It seemed like the Essence Orb was hidden on the bottom floor of the tower. Since the structure of the tower was rather complicated, it was almost impossible to locate the place where the energy collected from the criminals’ soul was stored without guidance.
Luckily, Iwata had told Mochizuki Chihaya the directions through the maze of darkness. Mo Fan and Mochizuki Chihaya successfully arrived at the spot that Iwata mentioned.
The place did not have any guards. It was most likely that Iwata had found the place coincidentally, and so discovered the existence of the Essence Orb.
Iwata was quite an honest man. Most people would simply keep the orb to themselves in secret, yet the man insisted on writing a report to his superior, and was found out by someone who was harboring evil intentions, ending up placing himself in great danger. If Mo Fan was in his shoes, he would surely have taken it, and even if the orb was useless to him, he would have sold it instead!
The eye of the formation was inside an insignificant spot, surrounded by walls. The only entrance was a little gap above the place.
There was nothing else in the room. It looked just like an ordinary underground storeroom, but a gleaming orb with a weak, evil presence was floating in the center.
In Mo Fan’s eyes, the orb was not attractive at all. It simply looked like an eyeball floating in the air, which actually looked rather scary.
“This thing is rather evil!” Mo Fan kept on his toes.
