The King of the Forest lost his hand in the process after Shardu attacked him, but he didn't surrender. He is still eager to fight, and it seems he is undergoing berserk mode as his hair starts growing longer and his eyes have turned redder. Black markings that resemble a tattoo start to appear on the King of the Forest's skin and glow with an ominous aura.
"Just because you are in the upper hand doesn't mean I will lose this fight!" and without batting an eye, he picked up his axe that was toppled after his dominant hand was torn off and lodged the handle of the axe straight to his severed hand's former position.
Elaina, who was looking on the side, was surprised by the development and wasn't even expecting the axe would actually stick to the severed arm and replace the lost part. One could wince just by watching him forcefully lodge the handle into his flesh.
