Ethan and the others picked a spot to land—somewhere with no Infernals in sight.
Once they were down, they hauled out all the crystal cores.
This time, the take was just shy of forty thousand—and every one of them was high-tier.
Over twenty thousand were Tier 19 cores. More than ten thousand were Tier 20. Over five thousand were Tier 21. And there were even a little over three hundred Tier 22s.
One fight, and they'd basically hit the jackpot.
Even Ethan could use these.
He'd only just stepped into Tier 22 himself, and those Tier 22 cores were perfect for him. With them, he could push straight to the peak of Tier 22 in one go.
For Chris and the others, it was even better. Between the Tier 21 and Tier 22 cores, they could ride the line all the way up to peak Tier 22 and catch right up to him.
The only annoying part was the Fallen Star Guard. Their power levels were about to get uneven.
