Despite beheading the Great Ones, Ray didn't lower his guard.
Firstly, ever since the tower interfered with his system's ability to refine EXP, it hadn't been issuing the kill notifications that could be used to determine if his opponents were truly dead or not.
Secondly, although he wasn't clear about the power of the Great Ones, he believed they would appear soon in a form entirely different and stronger than the one he had just beheaded.
'Where are they going to appear from this time?'
Exhibiting extreme caution, he looked around, surveying his surroundings with a scrutinizing gaze.
He didn't want to be caught off guard again.
Relying on his sixth sense was a double-edged sword. After all, if he ever reacted too slowly to its warnings, he'd be dead meat. It was something to use only when no better option remained!
Meanwhile.
Killed by Ray for the second time, the Great Ones thought, 'We lost another one of our lives to a mere human again. This is... this is unbearable.'
