"Aah...that was nice," Zhan moved his head to loosen his neck, shaking his hands to shed the black blood splattered on him.
"The battle?" Banner raised his brow.
"Nah, the guiding," Zhan stretched his back next before putting his spear away. "The battle is mid--it's just a newly evolved Cerberus anyway."
"But why did it suddenly evolve?" Gus smirked as he walked toward the severed head a few meters away from the giant body. "Look for its core while I check the head. Heads."
The swordsman severed the spot just above the neck, so the heads were rolling in three directions. He tilted them away with his boots and slashed each of the jaws, looking for anything that might be out of place.
"Found anything?" Bassena asked the swordsman.
"Hmm..." Gus cracked the jaw open with his boots and his scabbard, showing Bassena leftover dark purple shards at the roof of the middle head's mouth. "Seems like it did eat something, just as you said."
