'Unable to control it

Aaron reverted to his usual self. "Holy crap Apollo! That was insane

where did you learn to fight like that?" Aaron asked as he approached Apollo who was currently dissecting the corpse of the Spirit Beast.'

'"Survival brings out your instincts. I had to rely on mine for 4 years

" nonchalantly answered Apollo as he retrieved a small Essence Core from the sternum of the Spirit Beast. Needless to say

it didn't amount to much as this was a simple Rank 2 Spirit Beast.'

'Stowing the Essence Core in a small pouch

Apollo continued to partition the ape's body. Within moments

the flesh was separated from the skin. Stepping up Ashur interrupted him.'

'"Ahem

I hope you aren't thinking of taking this beast's flesh? Since you killed it you can keep its core

however

the flesh is part of the reason we ventured out here."'
