After repeatedly shouting, Luke finally heard it, leaving him utterly baffled. "What is she talking about? What cores? Eat them?"
He looked between the sea of dead bodies littering the base of the walls and the distant figures of Ricky and Cissel. But as Elena watched her friends frantically digging through the corpses, take something out and eat it, a flash of realisation hit her like a lightning bolt.
"Dammit! They're referring to the ingestion of the cores, remember?" She turned briskly toward Luke, her eyes wide with renewed hope and excitement. "When we first came here, we were so weak we could barely kill a single monster. Remember when John told us about the cores and had us ingest them to get stronger?!"
"Damn! I remember now!" Luke's eyes shone with a newfound brilliance as the memories of their first days in the trial came rushing back. "Damn me for forgetting this! Those monsters have cores? And we can actually eat them? We can let our weapons eat them too?!!"
