Lux waited until night time to take out all the Beast Cores in his possession.
He had 6 Argonaut-Ranked Beast Cores, 17 Deimos-Ranked Beast Cores, 36 Rank 5 Beast Cores, and 220 Rank 4 Beast Cores in his possession.
In order to create a miracle, Lux sacrificed all the corpses of the Insects on the battlefield, in order to give birth to ALL-MITE.
Because of this, the strongest member of Lux's Necromancer Covenant had become a Ranker, which allowed them to overturn their helpless situation.
As for the Rank 3 and below Beast Cores, Lux gave them to Pietro, so that the Mayor of Abingdon Town could exchange them for gold in order to help the survivors start anew. Many children had lost their parents, and had become orphans due to the incident that happened several days ago.
Because of this, the Mayor badly needed money to support these children as they grew older. Knowing that the Beast Cores would not be enough, Lux also gave Pietro 1 Million Gold Coins to help ease his financial burden.
The Half-Elf could have given him more, but he deemed that it would not be a good idea to showcase his wealth so openly in the Wanid Kingdom. A million gold coins might be a lot of money, but most high-ranking nobles had the leeway to carry this much money with them.
Because of this, Pietro and his Aides only thought that Lux was the son of a High-Ranking Noble, who happened to travel to the Wanid Kingdom for some sightseeing.
As the Half-Elf looked at the shining Beast Cores in front of him, he opened his Soul Book to check the status of his Special Body Constitution.

"Let's do this," Lux muttered as he gathered all the Rank 4, and Rank 5 Beast Cores and started to absorb them as fast as he could.
Lux didn't gain experience points like the Solaians that go to Elysium. He could only gain stat points through Beast Core Absorption as well as doing the Quests that randomly appeared everytime the Half-Elf found himself in a difficult situation.
Each Beast Core gave him a fixed number of stat points, and Lux looked at his Soul Book to better understand how many points he needed in order to upgrade his Special Body Constitution.

Beast Cores Points Calculation
Rank 1 = 10
Rank 2 = 20
Rank 3 = 30
Rank 4 = 40

Deimos = 1,000
Argonaut = 5,000
Dreadnaught = 10,000
If Alpha Monster x2
If Field Boss x 3

Note: When you become a Ranker, Rank 4 and below Beast Cores will only give you skills. You will no longer be able to gain Free Stat Points from lower-ranked Beast Cores when you step into the Realm of Rankers

As Lux gained more points for his special body constitution, he also gained the skills that came from Insect-Type monsters. Since the majority of the Beast Cores came from the same species, the skills he could learn from them was quite limited, but he was fine with that.
"I need 8,600 points to upgrade it to the next level." Lux sighed as he picked the Beast Core of the Crimson Berserker Mantis. "Deimos-Ranked Beast Cores give 1,000 Stat Points. But, since this core came from a World Boss, I will get 5,000 Points if I consume it."

'Not bad,' Lux thought as he looked at the skill that the Crimson Berserker Mantis had used to give itself an advantage against its opponents on the battlefield.
Suddenly increasing your speed for a short duration of time was enough to dodge an attack, or appear at the blindspot of your opponent to deal a lethal blow to them.

'I'm still short by a few thousand points.' Lux rubbed his chin as he looked at the remaining Deimos-Ranked Cores in his collection. After making an important decision, he chose the Purple Beast Core that was as big as a Basketball Ball.
This Beast Core also belonged to a Deimos-Ranked World Boss, which would allow him to finally upgrade his Immortal Dragon Conqueror's Legacy to the next stage.
Taking a deep breath, Lux absorbed the Deimos-Ranked Beast Core. A moment later, his body shuddered as he heard several notifications inside his head, and rows of texts appeared in front of him.

More rows of text appeared in front of Lux as the details of his upgrade continued to flash before his eyes.
He had expected that he would gain a lot of abilities once he upgraded his special body constitution, but nothing could prepare him for the information that was still waiting for him to see.
