With Adina and Iver gone, Kent was all alone.
He first left the teleportation mountains, knowing full well that the beam of light from Adina's teleportation would alert all those searching for her.
While he would love to greet them, he knew with his two teammates gone, he had to be cautious, so he first chose to find a safe place.
He used his demi-dragon form, so he was several miles away before the first team that caught sight of the sudden beam from the teleportation arrived.
When he was far enough away, he sat down on a large stone and took out eight cores, each pulsing with energy.
From the Vine Forest to the teleportation mountains, they had killed eight more beasts, making eight cores in total, and he planned on absorbing all before the hunt resumes.
Kent didn't want to absorb them all back then simply because his primary mission was to send Adina to safety, so he kept them.
