Sensing the impending danger, Emery instinctively stepped back from Winri, attempting to release his grasp on her. However, to his surprise, the powerful soul of the beast within her resisted, retaliating with scorching flames.

"Dammit... is there a way?" Emery implored Chututlu for guidance, seeking a solution to this perilous situation. The Khaos guardian responded, <We can forcefully break away, but it might kill the host.... Or..>

"Or what?" Emery inquired, his curiosity tinged with uncertainty.

<Let me devour it...> Chututlu's unexpected proposal startled Emery. The divine creature within Winri was a poisonous darkness type beast, evidently a favorite delicacy for Chututlu. Emery hesitated before posing a crucial question, "Can you keep the girl alive?"

Chututlu's enigmatic response was <Let's give it a try.>

Given no other viable option, Emery reluctantly followed Chututlu's lead, utilizing the [Soul Walk] ability to enter the core and confront the formidable divine beast.

Emery's entry into the beast realm plunged him into a surreal and ominous landscape. The dark space was eerily lit by the fiery glow emanating from burning volcanic plains that stretched as far as the eye could see. The atmosphere was heavy with an otherworldly energy, creating an unsettling ambiance in the abyss.

"Where is it?" Emery questioned, seeking guidance from Chututlu.

<Below your feet!>

In an instant, the rocky ground beneath his feet began to fracture, prompting Emery to leap back. As the rocks split apart, a colossal, shadowy beast emerged, stretching an impressive 50 meters in length. It resembled a living lava mountain, emitting a deafening screech that resonated through the otherworldly landscape. The creature revealed two massive pincer arms and an intimidating array of tails.

<You need to kill it... or take out the ruby crystal on its head,> Chututlu's voice resonated, adding an extra layer of urgency and danger to the already foreboding situation.

[Successfully comprehend the law of Devour by 1%]

A tinge of disappointment lingered within Emery, overshadowed by the realization that his primal core now teemed with newfound power. As this revelation sank in, an unexpected notification took him by surprise.

[Successfully recovered the law of Space by 1%]

[Successfully recovered the law of Gravity by 1%]

These additional recoveries signaled a step towards mending his fractured primal core. Intrigued and somewhat bewildered, Emery turned to the Khaos guardian for an explanation.

"How did it happen?" he inquired, to which Chututlu responded with a hint of amusement,

<Huh... You dare saying that to me? after taking most of the essence yourself!>

What transpired next left Emery in awe. The flaming ruby, which had adorned the scorpion's head, glowed brightly as it ignited, reducing the creature's remains to ashes. The radiant warmth emanating from the flame created a serene atmosphere within the domain, a stark contrast to its previous chaotic nature.

<Time to leave>

Khaos guardian urged, and Emery gradually regained consciousness. As he awoke, he found Grandmaster Hypotia attending to Winri. A genuine smile graced the grandmaster's face as she expressed her gratitude, "You did it... All the poison is gone... thank you."

Emery, intrigued by the events that unfolded, learned that the scorpion's soul belonged to a creature similar to the one he had encountered on Andora—an Abyss creature infused with primordial wisp power, this one was a fire instead of light. Fortunately for Emery, the beast darkness-based nature and prolonged consumption of primordial power rendered its essence highly beneficial for his damaged primal core. Contemplating this revelation, Emery pondered, "Does this mean I could completely cure myself by consuming more of a similar creature?" The prospect of utilizing the essence of such beings for his recovery opened new possibilities and avenues for his journey of self-restoration.

Emery not only successfully completed his second special task but also unearthed a pathway to his full recovery.
