"Is it dead?" an iron-ranked warrior inquired, asking the question on everyone's mind.
After the large explosion, the warriors who were blown away recovered, receiving minimal to no damage as they were only affected by the blast wave.
Slowly, they walked back to the camp. A large crater formed where Ossa's skeletal frame used to be, his bone fragments scattered around.
"It should be," another replied, his statement more of a wish than a fact.
"Look around for its bone fragments," Brayden commanded, sure Ossa was dead.
His confidence was fueled by the artifact they used, a tier four artifact, three tiers lower than the artifact that was used to raise a barrier against Francesco.
"He really invested in this," Brayden thought as he stepped into the crater, also picking up the fragments.
...
"I guess the artifact was a one-time use," Breydan remarked as he could not find the star shaped artifact.
