"How come it's still alive?" While maintaining his focus on the monster that was far away from him, the earth mage shouted in a low voice.
Ace watched the rat queen calmly, showing no emotion or response, in contrast to the earth mage who was already in a state of panic.
The rat queen was currently emerging from the hole that was made when the attack from the dragon phantom struck it, according to what Ace and the earth mage could see.
When Ace looked at it after the dragon phantom's initial assault, its body was just as damaged and deformed as he had previously seen it.
The fact that the rat queen appeared to be healing on her own, albeit slowly, was the only thing that caused Ace to consider the dragon phantom's continued existence more seriously.
