Just as Marcus was beginning to accept that he had gotten nothing from killing the Heavenly Thunder Leopard, Princess Celeste finished sorting through the Divine Beast's loot. She pulled out two Identification Scrolls, quickly identified the items with a swish of her hand, then walked over with a satisfied smile.
"Stone, these two items are pretty good. They dropped for you, so here."
"For me?"
"Mm-hmm."
Celeste gave him a bright smile. "If it weren't for you, the Heavenly Thunder Leopard would have escaped. These two belong to you." She placed the items directly into his hands.
Marcus did not bother with false modesty. He grinned and accepted them. Considering how wealthy the royal palace was, these items probably meant little to the two princesses anyway. More importantly, he had earned them.
He looked down at what he had received. 'Damn.' One Divine Artifact and one Red Artifact. 'Not bad at all.'
