Tatehan stood over the two massive corpses, catching his breath and feeling the post-combat rush of adrenaline slowly fading from his system.
Now this was the fun part after a fight. This was the part that made his heart rejoice and be filled with glee.
Killing monsters was something else, but harvesting their cores was on whole different level.
This was an act that came with suspense and surprise. Something that one anticipated the outcome of.
Like:
'What would I get?'
'Upgrade cores?'
'What would these rare Serpent-Tail variants contain?'
Tatehan knelt beside the larger corpse, the one he'd personally killed and tried to see if he'd see any cores just laying beside the dead monster as usual.
But he saw nothing. Absolutely nothing layed behind the monster.
