"How is he still alive…" Zenis thought, unable to hide his surprise.
Even with that armor, it didn't make any sense for Billy to survive the direct attack. Zenis was absolutely sure that it went perfectly… from his perspective, Billy just waited for it without moving. It was clear that he still had a few tricks up his sleeve, and Zenis would have to learn them before getting rid of Billy once and for all. He found some obstacles, but his path was still clear...
Zenis received a notification afterward, but it only gave him ten thousand experience points. That was the same as the hydras used to give him and while Billy's level was lower, he was a much tougher opponent, that was how the system made the calculations to determine the experience earned.
"I see… he used the summoner abilities to link his status with the frozen hydra," Zenis said. "That boosted his defenses and increased his health tremendously as well… that is the only explanation."
