Adam didn't hesitate. He sat cross-legged on the cold stone floor, surrounded by the oppressive darkness, and began consuming the monster cores one by one.
The first core was from the Minotaur King. It was larger than the others, pulsing with a deep, crimson light that seemed to throb like a heartbeat. Adam brought it to his lips and swallowed.

Adam frowned. "Berserker's Bloodlust… It's strong, but only activates when I'm near death. Risky, but useful as a last resort."
He moved on to the next core—a pale, shimmering blue orb from one of the Stone Basilisks.
[Stone Basilisk Core Consumed.]
