Chapter 3: Backlash

The slave warriors, stunned into disbelief, had even forgotten that the battle was not over. They simply stood there with their eyes wide open, watching everything before them that was too incredible to believe, allowing the bandits, desperate after the narrow escape, to run amok, wailing as they fled.

This sudden, massive shock that came like a sky-changing event nearly caused their spirits to crumble. The Half-Beastmen, who had never witnessed such magical power, were so weakened that they no longer had the strength to chase after the fleeing enemy. Even those like Fran and Baoling, who had once witnessed Komer unleash his power, were paralysed by Komer's final move, the altered "Golden Snake Dance."

It was the same move that, less than ten days apart, had become so terrifyingly potent that even Ilot and Puber couldn't help but gaze at Komer, who stood there, pale-faced, with an odd look in their eyes.
