"This is truly fascinating!" Muria, who had just cleaved the exhausted Wind Chime King from the Sky Dome with a sword, couldn't help but smile when he saw the king's transformation upon landing.
After Muria struck the Wind Giant, which the king had transformed into, the creature's body was nearly bisected by that single slash. The wound, after spurting a gush of blood, was rapidly cauterized by the intense heat.
He was directly cut by that sword into a severely injured and dying state, but the king did not die from it. Instead, after plummeting to the earth, his ravaged body merged directly with the ground.
After the king fell into the earth, Muria felt the originally weakened and declining life force suddenly recover in an instant, as if he had been fully revived from death.
"Arnold, don't think you've won, the battle has only just begun."
