The battlefield fell silent at last.
Both titans lay dead. The frog's hulking corpse was half-submerged in the pond, its body riddled with injuries that spewed blood and poison.
As for the serpent… its massive body lay coiled and broken. Its serpentine head had been smashed into a pulp by Adam. The snake was a tough creature with strong defenses. It took the youth a couple of tries to hammer the snake to death with the enlarged staff.
And now, he sat atop the corpse of the serpent, chewing on its raw flesh with a delightful smile on his charred face. Meanwhile, the mimic had already burrowed inside the snake's corpse, planning to eat until it was utterly full.
"Not bad," said Adam with a wide grin. "Not bad at all."
As he observed the wetlands around him, he noticed the ground was torn apart, littered with gouges, shattered trees, and pools of blood that mixed with the murky water.
