Upon the judge's announcement of the result, and in the instant the contest was over, Patriarch Li of the Li Family, Li Hao, led his members onto the arena center, gathering around the ruined Rock Horse Armor.
Li Hao stood beside the headless armor, observing what was happening inside, lowering his head in silence.
An aide handed over the severed head.
Li Hao took it, then immediately turned the armor upside down.
With a few shakes, bloody white bones fell from the neck opening.
From rib bones to vertebral pieces, from fragmented hip bones to sturdy thigh bones.
A fresh pile of bones finally stacked up.
Only then did everyone realize that the disappeared Rock Horse Warrior had been devoured and digested alive by the Level 20 Rock Horse Armor.
Seeing the pile of bones, Li Hao's face changed slightly, then he placed the helmet he held onto the shattered neck.
