Although the creature was considerably strong for Cylius to notice it, due to the sudden ambush and the power difference, the monster was quickly killed before it could retaliate.
Thinking about this, he suddenly stopped as he went down to get some water. From the sight of the river, it was obvious that many creatures would be waiting for prey to appear.
Beasts and monsters would gather around water sources. This was definitely true as Cylius could feel various gazes fall upon him. But judging from the quality of the vegetation and water, there shouldn't be many powerful beasts around here.
So few that they could be counted on two hands.
Although he was rather cautious of them, it didn't mean that he was afraid of them. With his dimensional rune, he could escape through a space hole at any time. He was also sure that his strength was to be reckoned here, so he boldly went to the river.
