I went over the content of the panel in front of me several times as I inspected a status panel with even fewer sections than mine.
I was aware that blue's status had appeared as a result of the newly added section on my status and possibly this "link," but I was also interested in learning whether or not monsters had statuses or the Primordial Chronicle in the first place, or whether the section that had recently appeared had actually created one for blue.
This is not a question that just came to me after seeing Blues status; rather, I've been thinking about it for a while because I found it to be quite interesting to consider.
I used to wonder how monsters grew stronger, and the only thing that came close to an answer was that they consumed crystal cores just like the crow that Anna summoned.
Since it would take a lot of time to watch a fight that would typically not be beneficial to me, I didn't stay to the end of most fights to find out what would happen, so this erroneous temporary conclusion was not without justification. I have seen monsters fight themselves on numerous occasions.
The fights I did stay and watched to the end was because I found both monsters easy to kill after they had exhausted themselves, gaining easy primordial records.
I'll probably just use Blue as a test subject to determine whether eating cores actually makes them stronger or whether it's the monster meat they consume.
I wonder if monster meat is also okay for human consumption.
I turned to turn back to blue panel as I considered this and saw a change.

Blue was apparently able to level up, which is strange given that he did nothing to acquire primordial records.
When I turned to look at Blue, who had already consumed half of his shell remnant by this point, I had an epiphanic moment.
Perhaps it was because of the shells that blue was able to gain a level up, but to be sure, I focused on blue panel while keeping my gaze on him, and blue did indeed gain another level up immediately after he finished eating his egg remnants.
I was aware of this because, this time, I saw the notification the Primordial Chronicle sent when my tamed beast acquired enough Primordial Records to level up.
It appears that the egg shells did something to blue, but I wouldn't know because I didn't eat the shells.
If I ate the shells, I don't think something would even happen.
Well, something positive.
I turned to face Blue as I was considering this and noticed that he was slowly curling his body. As I examined Blue's body more closely, I noticed that he had slowed his breathing.
Blue had fallen asleep.
Seeing this, I held blue in my arms, wondering if it was because of the shells or because he was a newborn that he fell asleep so quickly as I took him to my room to place him on the bed, and after looking for something to slightly cover his body with, I made my way back to my lab.
Though I could level blue up right now, I decided it would be wiser to wait until he was awake so I could better monitor the process.
As I considered this, I made the decision to concoct pills as I had previously desired to do so. After giving the matter some thought, I chose to primarily concoct basic stamina pills, which I will then sell in the shop to see how they perform.
With this in mind, I finally started working while deciding which explosive I should make after I finished making pills.
After all, I had a lot of time on my hands.

Back in the true world.
After resolving the conflict outside that had arisen as a result of a close battle, Andrew Dawn went back to the settlement and rested in his home.
Andrew Dawn knew that this world was not going to be safe or simple, but what was with a strange-looking and powerful race suddenly appearing?
Andrew Dawn believed that this circumstance ought to relate to stage 2, and even if it did, there was nothing he could do about it at this point because it had already occurred.
Andrew Dawn experienced two significant issues in a single day, which made him fearful for the future.
For one thing, the ogre king's power made him feel compelled to gain strength because, despite being sealed, the ogre king was still able to battle him on equal terms for a time.
This problem was actually quite serious because, if one really thinks about it, a sealed creature was actually capable of bringing him—a person who was eighth among humans in the true world—to a standstill.
The ogre king may have sealed something at a certain level, but even with that as the case, the problem remained that the ogre king did not start out at a disadvantage despite exerting a little bit of full power.
This was a worrying issue for Andrew Dawn, and it made him want more strength. He knew what he could do quickly, and as soon as he remembered, he summoned one of his subjects in his residence to call Celeb.
In addition to calling Celeb, he also requested the arrival of his guards, whose existence both he and the primordial chronicle acknowledge.
It was about time he obtained what belonged to him from a particular den.
Meanwhile, in another location in the true world, two women emerged from a portal with a large crowd behind them.
The numbers behind the two women were in the thousands, which caused a stir in the forest where they arrived.
Apart from those who were already present, the majority of people in the true world would be able to identify the two women if they were present to see them.
Why is that so?
That's because the majority of people in the world were familiar with these two women as Agneya and Lily Blaze.
