After separating from Melissia, Ash went straight to his dorm room with the demon's corpse safely stored inside a space ring.
As soon as he reached his room, he made sure to close the window tightly, pulled the curtains all the way shut, and locked the door behind him with extra care, making absolutely sure no one would barge in unexpectedly.
Just to be completely safe, he even activated Omni Thought for a few moments, letting his senses stretch out in every direction, searching for any trace of life or mana nearby—but there was nothing.
He was completely alone.
Only then did he let out a breath and take out the corpse of the demon.
It's real...
Ash thought silently as he stared at the lifeless body of Miraak sprawled out before him.
Even though he already knew that a demon's corpse didn't usually have anything useful or valuable left behind, he still decided to search it.
