1. The beast core's mana is already empty because art and his dad used it.
2. The beast will is practically useless to the reminder of the survivors because the beast is a S plant type monster, the person who would weild the beast will should also have the affinity for plant (which can only be used by few elven people)
3 Tess is the only one art knows who is he believes is strong enough to handle an s class beast will
4. You maybe forgetting that art has sylvie's will (a dragon) it makes sense our OP MC defeated it with sylvie's will. Dragons are... Beyond the creatures in beast glades,,, they reveal just how much stronger dragons are later in the story

OMG RIGHT! THAT TESS GIVES MEH SAKURA VIBES CAUSE SHE SIMPS FOR ARTHUR TOO MUCH AND SHE IS ALSO ALWAYS ABUSING TOO ITS AS IF NARUTO AND SASUKE ARE IN ARTHUR! ITS SO ANNOYING!THE PRINCESS AND THE RED HEAD AND THAT BIG FEMALE AND LILY (I THINK) ARE WAY BETTER THAN TESS. IT GIVES MEH A HEAD ACHE CAUSE THIS STORY DOESN'T NEED ANY ROMANCE!PERIOD!

Let me rephrase myself, "sylvie's mother' will" and Arthur unlocked the 2nd phase but it has a time limit.
Sylvies mom's will, gives him the ability to manipulate time, and gives him better control of all his elemental affinities including its diviants.
And dragons ARE beyond that elder wood. Dragons are deities, so they can't really be classified as a mana beast. (sorry, slight spoiler) they're like gods who gave humans the power to defend themselves from the beasts.
And because Arthur is a human, he can't really unlock the full potential of dragon's will because of his body, but his affinity for all the elements somewhat fills the gaps.

Yeah, I don't like the romance either but... I can't agree with Tess being like sakura. Sakura has SOME use but Tess is ACTUALLY usefull, aside from our OP MC, Tess is actually one of the strongest in their generation, on the story and has the most potential as well... The problem is just...uh...tess is a girl with hormones and drama and feelings and all that shiz HAHAHAHAHAGA

Yo I just notice I. I'm sorry tess You are usefull. SERIOUSLY THO I DON'T LIKE ROMANCE IN THIS STORY ONE BIT! ITS THE SAME FOR MAX LEVEL HERO! I SERIOUSLY WANNA KICK THE AUTHOR FOR PUTTING ROMANCE. If you don't understand. You'll find out sooner why I'm saying the author put romance. Its horrible and bad news for people who want romance in the Story

But Female readers like it better to not have their Bias have a girl. LIKE IF IT WERE A FEMALE WHO CREAED SHE WOULD UNDERSTAND SOME FEMALE MINDS! ITS LIKE SAYING PEOPLE WHO HAVE CRUSHES ON IDOLS HAVE TO SHIP THEIR BIAS WITH THEIR SOME OTHER FEMALE IDOL! YO I DON'T EVEN WANT NICKI MANAJ TO BE MARRIED BUT SHE IS!
Uh guys did anyone find Arthur defeating the S class mana beast nonsensical? How can he defeat an S mana beast with ice magic!?!? As far as I know, S is higher than A too! Also he fucketh gave the core to tess like bitch hold tf up??? Gosh. He lost so many people there and he goes and gives the core to his biggest simp
