With a single, decisive stroke, Jake brought the sword down, cleanly severing the Asura King's head. A rush of dark purple-red blood gushed from the wound, pooling around the fallen body.
He bent down, lifting the severed head with some effort.
"This guy's head is heavy as hell… How much did he weigh?" Jake muttered, shaking his head before storing it in his inventory.
The moment the head vanished, Excalibur began to shift, dark energy swirling around its form until it fully transformed into Guida.
"Master…"
Jake sighed as he dropped onto the ground, catching his breath. "Guida… You decided to show up today."
"I could feel it… The fear, the anxiety. You were battered," Guida murmured as she moved behind him, wrapping her arms around his neck.
Jake exhaled sharply. "Honestly, I have no idea how I won. That bastard was a monster. None of my usual techniques worked." He shook his head, still processing the battle.
