The Annis Hag's body, turned to charred remains, was finally still, but Leon still felt somewhat uneasy.
He raised a claw and jabbed it forcefully; there was no response. So he used both claws to tear the charred body apart, revealing the unburnt flesh that emanated a pungent stink, and only then did he truly feel at ease.
Even though he seemed tough on the surface, deep down Leon actually felt a bit guilty.
That was a nest-active Annis Hag, undoubtedly stronger than a normal one, and the battle took place on the hag's home turf... If the Annis Hag had decided to employ guerrilla tactics against him, utilizing a variety of potions and bizarre magic items, it really was not clear who would have won or lost.
