Over forty minutes after John entered the room where the Giant Serpent was located, the battle had concluded.
The handsome blond from before was no longer in human shape - a horrendous sight to behold.
Half of his body from his right shoulder to leg was burrowed into the gaping mouth of the Giant Serpent's chest. His clothes were tattered, and his exposed skin looked as if it had been eroded by strong acid. In some areas, one could even see bare bones.
Five tentacles tipped with sharp barbs were embedded in different parts of him, inflicting grievous injuries. The worst damage was to his face - half of it was slashed apart and his right eyeball was gouged out, leaving a bloody hollow.
At least he was still breathing. The white porcelain knife held in his left hand was deeply embedded into the fleshy lump on the head of the Giant Serpent, reducing it into a mess. Before his own death, he managed to kill the Giant Serpent.
