Luis continued to watch.
The number of Monster Cores stuffed into the lion's mouth was in the hundreds with all of them being Level 4 Monster Cores.
Luis wasn't sure of the exact number, but he thought it was more than three hundred.
Three hundred Level 4 Monster Cores alone would mean the equivalent of 6 Million Dollars.
Only, with that amount, the green dot on the screen was not full, not even a quarter.
It was far from full.
"We'll start now," said the man wearing a white coat.
Apparently after that, he started stuffing materials to build the Power Core into the lion's mouth.
The first thing Luis saw were the skins of the various Level 5 Monsters, then their souls which were expelled from the Monster Soul Absorber which was shaped like an aluminum bottle with two buttons in the middle, one button to absorb and one button to expel the soul inside.
All of that was easily absorbed by the lion's mouth.
Technology like this was practically completely foreign to the people of Velos, no wonder they couldn't make it themselves.
This was something from a more advanced civilization like the Flying Star Empire.
Of course, the souls and body parts of monsters were not the only materials for constructing a Power Core. They were just the main materials.
Luis saw other things he didn't recognize.
Some were liquids and some were solids. Maybe they were something that could help the process.
And the process looked calm. The chair remained standing stably even though it had swallowed various objects that had great power.
If anything happened, it was the purple light that suddenly emanated from the chair.
After that, purple liquid began to flow through the medical hoses, entering the student's body which suddenly released small lightning bolts every now and then.
It seemed that he was building a Power Core with the element of lightning.
Over time, more lightning bolts emerged from his body.
However, they could not spread any further as the chair itself released a shield of light that blocked the lightning bolts.
The student's eyes began to turn purple, shining like stars.
'Mm...'
Luis suddenly saw a purple ball of light with white stripes appear in front of the man's chest, rotating slowly.
It did not enlarge but the color solidified slowly, making the purple ball look more and more like a solid object even though it was actually light gathered in large quantities.
Luis had already seen the image of the Power Core, so he could tell that it was that student's Power Core.
The difference with that picture was that it was purple in color.
It was Tier 2 because Tier 1 had a smaller size. Tier 3 was naturally larger than Tier 2 and had a color that would keep changing every time.
In terms of the building process, it's not too long. What takes a long time is gathering the materials because that's not easy for most people.
When the purple ball already seemed perfect, it entered the student's chest.
The latter suddenly seemed to have a drastic increase in strength.
Only, he also looked extremely exhausted all of a sudden, as if his stamina had just been drained.
Even his eyes looked dim though his breathing seemed steady.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
The medical hoses removed themselves from his body so that he could sit up more relaxed.
"What do you feel now? Do you know how to release the domain?" asked the man in the white coat.
"I know right away," the student replied.
"Good, if it's a Tier 1 Power Core, it might take some time before you figure it out. However, domain, although it is a great skill, its release requires a huge amount of Anima. It will also be useless if the enemy is far away from you. Therefore, Spirit is still more important. In your adventures, you should try to obtain Spirit because only that really increases your fighting power significantly." The man advised the student, telling him how important a Spirit was.
The student nodded without saying anything because he knew it well.
If he didn't have a Spirit, then there was no chance for him to surpass those who had a Spirit.
"You can rest here first, lie down over there." The man pointed to a mattress and returned the student's Dimensional Artifact.
The student quickly stood onto the mattress before lying down.
He took a deep breath occasionally and closed his eyes.
Meanwhile, Luis made a careful observation of this basement.
There were many CCTVs all over this basement.
However, this was the basement, which he thought had a major flaw as the power cables practically went underground.
If he destroyed those cables, all the technology in this basement would definitely shut down.
At that time, he could enter comfortably. At most, he would kill the man in the white coat to silence the witness.
'This might be better done at night,' he thought.
No matter what era it was, the best time to rob was at night.
The student hadn't rested for too long. Perhaps he didn't feel comfortable resting in this basement.
After he felt he could walk for a long time, he finally decided to leave.
Luis followed him to the elevator.
After exiting the elevator, he quickly left the school building, heading towards his high school where he finally returned to being human in the school garden.
"But what is Abbys Den?"
He immediately searched about the place on the internet.
After all, it seemed to be a place where he could get a reward of materials to build a Power Core.
"What, a casino!" When he found out about the place on the internet, he realized that it was actually a casino, the largest casino chain in the entire Flying Star Empire and of course, it also existed in the major cities of Velos like Velos 33.
There, there were games where Awakeners could bet with their treasures to get more treasures.
This sounded interesting to Luis, but it was a casino where he needed to gamble.
He could win but could also lose.
His ability to turn into a monster might not be usable in that casino.
How could he win the game?
