"That creature..." Julian's voice was a low, dangerous whisper. "The energy it's emitting. It's identical to the area nullifier." He held up the dormant device, which was now pulsing in perfect, sickly sync with the pulses from the gaunt monster below.
"You're right," Celestia confirmed, her analytical mind racing through possibilities. "The frequency is a perfect match. This isn't a coincidence. That creature is either the source of this technology... or a living embodiment of its principle."
"The white cores," Beatrix added, her eyes wide with a scholar's horrified fascination. "It's pacifying the other monsters and harvesting their energy to fuel its own evolution."
"We cannot let it continue," Julian stated, his decision absolute. "If it consolidates this much power, its nullification field could become permanent, or cover a vast area. We will be rendered helpless. We attack now, while we still have the advantage of our skills."
