Ethan released the Deadlock Dimension. He and the scattered remains of the Netherfang Tiger reappeared inside the enormous cave.
Fortunately, this cave belonged exclusively to the Netherfang Tiger. There were no other Outland Beasts around. Otherwise, the sight would've scared them senseless.
Ethan looked over the pieces strewn across the ground. After a moment's thought, he roughly pieced the body back together. At least now anyone who saw it could tell it was the Netherfang Tiger.
Once he was done, Ethan dusted off his hands and left the cave.
Not far from the Netherfang Tiger's lair, an enormous black panther was dozing on the branch of a massive tree.
The panther suddenly sensed danger. It snapped awake, its entire body tensing as it scanned the surroundings.
"Pretty alert, aren't you?" Ethan said with a smile.
He gave it no chance to fight back or call for help. Absolute Stasis activated, and a single strike from his poleaxe killed it.
