The moment the monster's life ended, I could sense mana essence flowing in my direction from the corpse.
Willing the mana in my body, I actively began to attract the essence towards me, and within a second, it had entered my body, being absorbed into my mana meridians.
A rush of instant dopamine release hit me as the essence was absorbed into my core, but—
Along with it, there was a feeling of repulsion in my body.
The essence felt disgusting to absorb, but I didn't let such thoughts overwhelm my decision.
Haa...
I could also feel a slight crack appearing in my core upon absorbing the monster's mana essence.
"Graaahhh!"
A loud roar made me look to my left, only to find another gorilla-type monster looking at me with immense rage in its eyes.
Family?
I looked at the corpse below me, and seeing the similarities between the two, maybe—
It was the monster's wife?
The creature was smaller than the gorilla I had killed earlier, so maybe it was the female of their species.
