OKAY. No more delays, we are back!

“In terms of physical form? They would likely resemble their main form, an armored body with vaguely worm-like features, though I suspect any remnants would take on features similar to the environments they ended up residing in.” he responds, looking down at his hand. “We’ve had to deal with one before.”
Sala narrows her eyes at you. “Oi. You askin’ ‘cause you want to be cautious, or ‘cause you found somethin’?”
“Up north we managed to capture both a corrupting essence that had taken over a number of animals and even tried to take over Yamcha.” you begin.
“Ah, poor guy got it twice in a row? Now I’m feelin’ like I was overly mopey…” the blonde girl remarks.
“And we also captured this… grub thing that kinda fits the description. It wanted to eat Magic, but was otherwise mostly harmless.” you say next. “Here, looked like this…”
You show a picture of it to the three. Sala immediately coos out an “Awwww!” upon seeing it. “Lil’ grub looks precious.”
Jaki’s eye twitches slightly, looking at it with clear discomfort. “Where is it?”
“Down at the palace of Fortuneteller Baba. We have it and the shapeless being that attacked Yamcha in lockdown, don’t worry.” Okay, he’s not too pleased by this. “Look, I don’t plan to make a habit of turning these into pets or anything, I captured that grub especially mostly to make sure we could keep an eye on it, and keep it away from any lingering Magical artifacts in that palace. Besides, Baba has foresight, if she sees any danger with the thing, she’d be the first to know. It’s safe there, trust me.”
Jaki closes his eyes and rubs the side of his head. “I will hold you to that. I would prefer that it’s destroyed before it could repeat the mistakes of the past, especially with powerful beings like the Demon King aware of the goings on of this world. To say nothing of Majin Ozotto being alive again…”
“Point noted. Though…” A thought crosses your mind. “Say, did Ancient Nemuria have any Mahous like myself?”
“Not in my time, though I assume one or two existed in our past. My sister did possess Magical abilities beyond even my own, though they did not manifest in a manner similar to yours.”
You snap your fingers. “Damn… well, I kinda figured that using Magic to that degree would mean your people would know something about them…”
“It is possible some research on them existed, and where you are going is likely the best place to check.”
