Pushing the rubble away from me, I used the walls to pick myself up and off the ground. I could see a giant crater that had formed on the wall after I clashed with the hound, and while it might have had a 3x boost in strength and doubled strength from the berserk state, it still seemed to have ended with a draw.
Well, that was what I thought until I looked into the other side of the throne room at the collapsed hound that was taking in shallow and pained breaths. It looked like every breath it took made it feel like its lungs were catching on fire, yet it did not stop breathing and decided it would rather go through hell than die to me.
'Good thing I had enough mana to do that though...' My eyes fell upon the towering earth spire that seemed to go from the ground to the roof of the throne room as if it was a vital pillar that kept this room from collapsing.
