Slate became a bit stunned when Klaus handed the core over to him.
In his mind, an Immortal Lord-grade calamity core is something he had no business expecting to be handed to him. At best, being the one to extract it and then hand it over to Rory was something he expected.
In the past, when he and a few others managed to kill an Immortal Monarch-level calamity beast, the core was handed to Lord Victor without fail, for that was the right thing to do.
He never expected to one day absorb one.
At the moment, he has only 6 Immortal Rings. That, in some sense, is impressive even for an Immortal Lord such as himself. However, in Klaus's eyes, it is not enough.
Even he, who is just a True Immortal, has 6, and thanks to his wives, other incarnations, and beast legion, he can temporarily take more immortal rings, allowing him to wield 12 at the same time.
