A head fell to the ground, and Karsha quickly grabbed the Core, brimming with pure fire energy. After killing his first Calamity Mutant and uncovering the secret of their Cores, he started hunting more of them.

Still, the Tier 8 stage is a pivotal point. It's where a monster decides if it wants to pursue the World Boss class.
