"...ROOOAR!"
Suddenly, a series of roars like muffled thunder erupted from the water, and the surface began to churn violently.
Soon, a jarring patch of crimson spread through the river, as if a vat of dye had been overturned.
A moment later, a Dragon Race girl with an arrogant gaze walked slowly out of the water. She was clad in soft armor as black as ink, and in her hand, she carried a long, slender straight blade that pulsed with a red glow.
In her other hand, she dragged a serrated tail belonging to a pale gray water beast several dozen feet long. It was as dead as could be.
The water beast's bloated body bore several shocking wounds. The most severe one had snapped its spine in two.
The Dragon Race girl walked onto the riverbank step by step, set down her prize, and began to butcher it.
The storage pouch on her person had limited space; she couldn't possibly pack up the entire enormous creature. She could only cut off the most valuable parts.
"It's that Long Nu..."
