High in the sky, the remaining two Destroyer Warships did not continue their devastating bombardment.
Their mission had already been completed. Having cleared the greatest obstacle, the endless Slave Legion was more than enough to handle the remaining cleanup.
The two Destroyer Warships hovered in the heavens, silently watching the bloody advance below.
Several smaller, more agile Airships flew in from the rear and arrived above the Lava Giant's corpse.
Complex mechanical arms and collection devices extended from beneath their hulls, emitting a low hum.
The mechanical arms precisely avoided the Slave Creatures that were still moving as they reached toward the giant's core.
In particular, they focused on the location of the head that had once burned with sunlight-like brilliance, as well as the possible energy core within the center of the chest cavity. They were collecting samples.
The corpse of a Level 3 powerhouse, especially the remains of such an elemental body, possessed immense research value.
The structure of its rocky skeleton, the residual lava energy, and the life essence that might not yet have fully dissipated were all exceptionally valuable research materials and experimental samples to wizards.
The Allied Legion would not overlook any valuable spoils, even if they had belonged to a worthy opponent.
At the same time, more robe-clad wizards, clearly from the legion's logistics and research departments, began landing in relatively safe areas under the protection of heavily armored golems and wizards.
They swiftly established temporary research outposts, using various alchemical instruments to conduct on-site analysis of the preliminary samples taken from the giant's corpse while directing the mechanical arms to perform more meticulous cutting and collection.
Inside the observation post, Duke silently watched it all.
He watched the once unimaginably massive giant become covered by ant-like creatures, watched its corpse be coldly cut
