"Victory!" Leon shouted, raising his axe triumphantly.
But before he could bask in his triumph, a massive punch sent him flying, slamming him into the jagged wall of the cave with a bone-shaking crash.
"Leon!" Roselia yelled as she darted toward him, quickly pulling him out of the crater his body had made in the wall.
"Damn it... I cut off its neck, didn't I?" Leon groaned, wiping the blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.
"Yes, but look at it!" Roselia said, pointing toward the massive body.
Leon's eyes widened as he saw the Abomination King's severed neck pulsating with sickly green veins. The veins extended toward the dismembered head, dragging it back onto its body. In mere moments, the creature was whole again, its glowing eyes now brighter and filled with fury.
"What the...?" Leon's voice was filled with disbelief as he took in the sight.
