In the southern district of the Imperial Capital, near the ruins of a large shopping mall, Luca and his team were meticulously searching the area.
This was the exact location where Fuzzsir had first spotted the initial monster.
Though the creature itself hadn't been particularly powerful, the fact that the first monster had appeared here meant the site held special significance.
Beneath the rubble lay the bodies of victims and the mangled remains of slain monsters.
During the search, the team ran into all kinds of minor complications.
What caught Luca's attention most was the peculiar concentration of elemental energies lingering around the ruins.
Monsters were sustained by chaotic energy.
If the first monster had emerged here, it could mean this site had served as a gateway—a possible outlet for that chaos.
But despite his efforts, Luca found no trace of true chaotic power.
