The entire battlefield fell silent when the dust finally settled.
Shattered earth and black ash drifted through the air while fragnts of wind mana slowly dispersed around the crater left behind by the Colossus Grazer's final attack.
Most of the awakeners were still staring at the center of the destruction with hardened gazes. So looked exhausted. Others looked grim. A few were still trying to process how Emily and Alice killed the Boss Monster. Then…
Emily figure was revealed, still standing.
For several seconds, nobody spoke because nobody could understand what they were seeing.
The final attack of the Boss Monster had not been ordinary. Everyone present had felt the pressure behind it. The Great Dungeon had strengthened the Colossus Grazer's attack during its last monts. That attack should have a guaranteed kill effect.
Yet Emily Warren remained alive, and perfectly fine, not even her clothes damaged.
"How is she alive?"
One of the awakeners muttered unconsciously.
The nearby teams finally noticed sothing lying in front of Emily.
A gigantic snake-like corpse.
Most of its body had been erased. Torn flesh and shattered scales covered the ground around it while only a portion of the creature's massive fra remained intact.
Understanding slowly appeared on the faces of the awakeners.
"She used a summon."
"That thing blocked the attack for her."
"So she sacrificed it?"
The whispers spread quickly across the battlefield.
It was possible. Summoners occasionally used their summons as shields during desperate situations. However, the more experienced awakeners imdiately realized how naïve her actions had been.
The first issue was obvious.
An ordinary summon would never have survived long enough to block an attack of that level. The Colossus Grazer's final attack had been enhanced by the Great Dungeon itself. Only an extrely powerful creature could have protected Emily from it even montarily. Losing a summon of that level was a big loss.
The second issue was more serious.
