L83. Threat to the Decay Thicket

Item : Black Runestone

The moment you pluck the ancient Runestone from the monster's corpse, it shrinks in size considerably, supporting the theory that it was a source of power.

Using one of your weapons to break off a small chip, you wonder what effect it would have when thrown at other wild monsters.

The Immortal Shadow Wolf of Decay Thicket strikes you as a good target for your experiment.

Regardless of the outcome, you decide to share the results with Demon Hunter Jenny at the Resistance Citadel.

"Well, well! This is certainly a surprise! What can I do for you today?"

Jenny cocks her head like a little bird. "You say this rock causes monsters to become stronger?"

While she certainly lacks the appearance of someone well-suited for combat,

the manner in which she speaks about monsters is proof enough of her job title.

"I've come across a number of similar stones while stationed here, but it never occurred to me that they held this sort of power! Excellent work!"

"I'm told it's customary to reward Sprite Messengers for their help. Here, please accept this as a token of my gratitude!"

You take the reward wordlessly. You cannot help but wonder how such an innocent-looking girl managed to come by so many Runestones. There may be more to her than meets the eye.
