The situation escalated into an undecided death match between the Emberwyrm and the Blood Bishop.
Having lost the opportunity to kill the Emberwyrm in one attack, Ace was left with the only other option left and that was to fight the beast himself with whatever weapons and skills he had.
Upon hearing the explosion, the other Hunters peeped from their hideouts, only to see a weakened and injured beast, but it wasn't out of the fight just yet. The creature, although massive and powerful, was able to bleed and that alone was enough to act as a catalyst for the Blood Bishop to attack.
"If all options were available," he spoke to himself, assessing his surroundings and then those watching him. "I would transform into my Blood Mutant form but there are too many faint of heart weaklings here and I'm not about to start dealing with them."
