“A piece of bone?”

The diamond box had nothing inside except for a piece of bone. It was such a curious reward that Gi-Gyu couldn’t help but stare at it for a moment. He understood that the likelihood of him getting another elixir bottle was slim, but he expected something more valuable than this random piece of bone. 

However, Lou seemed to recognize it since Gi-Gyu could feel him reacting strongly to it. “Lou? Do you know what this is?”

-It’s part of my physical body. 

“Part of your body?”

-Yes. I can’t believe they are toying with my body like this.

The black sword, Lou, trembled in a fury. Gi-Gyu’s fingers shook along with it, so he had to wait a while for Lou to calm down. 

-Just take it and keep it safe for now. It will provide an opportunity for us later.

“All right,” Gi-Gyu didn’t know a single thing about the piece of bone, but he still put the box in his bag without hesitation. After all, it came from the diamond box; even without Lou’s suggestion, he could tell it was valuable. 

On top of that, it was part of Lou’s old physical body. Knowing what Lou used to be, an undeniably powerful being, there had to be something to this piece of bone. After processing these thoughts, he announced, “It’s time to leave the Tower.”
