Mailen watched the final moment of the tiger man and froze in place.
His eyes stayed locked on the crater, trying to process what he had just seen.
He blinked once, then suddenly burst out laughing. "To think he was stupid enough to take the full attack of the dragon."
The other Drakenfel warriors, who were lying on the ground after exhausting their mana, also began to laugh.
"Haha, right, sir. That tiger man was too stupid. How dare he underestimate us like that?"
Their laughter echoed for a moment, filling the battlefield with a brief sense of relief. But then, just as suddenly, everything stopped.
ROOAAARRRR!
Their laughter died instantly as every head snapped toward the crater.
Mailen's expression changed, and his eyes widened slightly. "Don't tell me…"
From within the crater, a figure slowly rose.
And just as they feared, it was the tiger man.
His body was covered in injuries, with blood still dripping from several wounds, but he was clearly still alive.
