Should have chopped the body to bits & seperated the pieces while it was still dead...
But apparently that would have been difficult and taken too long!
since each full strength 9th rank attack only leaves a small injury...
So they'd have to take lots of time and energy, taking breaks to recover a few times if they want to do that...

Oh it's awake now... try doing that while it's fighting back instead...
How many hundreds of years did they have and didn't clean up / bury the corpse? Just rob the Palaces & leave?
