As the black flame extinguished, the upright skeletons collapsed, symbolizing the demise of the Black Monarch.
Once the black flame that kept others at bay disappeared, the rebels rushed inside without delay, gathering around the Black Monarch's corpse, eager to ensure he was truly dead and not going to rise again for another fight.
The disappearance of the skeletons and the vanishing flame both signified the Black Monarch's death, yet they wanted to confirm it, to be absolutely certain.
To ensure the Black Monarch was dead.
"Dead, truly dead."
"Haha, the Black Monarch is dead! No one will suffer a painful death anymore; you won't die and then face your loved ones with sword and blade."
"Wonderful, truly wonderful. Mother, did you see this?"
Upon confirming the Black Monarch's demise, the rebels loudly cheered and cried, releasing the emotions accumulated from years of oppression by the Black Monarch.
Kane and his group did not intervene, quietly waiting by the side.
