He punctuated the declaration by thrusting Thor’s robotic hand into the air Behind the glihly thirty centi halo of violet light

An Alien Core! Quite the treasure after only their second fight, how could they not be excited? One step closer to the exuvium process! However not everyone was pleased The Gourenitor wasn’t overpowering It couldn’t stand up to the fullthe Pharh In terenitor was probably akin to a peak-level Adept
