Corey was a little bit surprised when he saw that Zeke was not only alive but conscious, unlike Rhys, Aelric, Yara, and Myra.
Only Kieran and Zeke were conscious, and once again, Corey was baffled as to how Zeke was conscious.
If he saw Zeke's corpse, he would not be surprised because Zeke was a Tier 3.
The shockwaves and remnant energies that exploded from the clash between him and Eidolon was immense, and it was more than enough to cause injuries to an average Tier 5.
So for a Tier 3 to survive and be conscious while his allies were not?
It was a surprise.
Another thing that surprised him was the fact that the only severe injury Zeke had was a missing arm.
Aelric, Myra, Yara, and Rhys had more severe injuries.
But Zeke only had a severe injury?
It was suspicious.
'Because my entire attention was on Eidolon, I couldn't observe the Thirteenth Dawn while I was fighting.'
'If I had, I would have seen how he survived.'
'... Or maybe it was luck? But I doubt that.'
