CRADES.
These were the monsters that terrorized the empire now and then.
But thanks to the rise of powerful people all over the world, the Crades were forced to hide from humans that they used to hunt.
As the human race gained more power, the Crades grew weaker until they were no longer considered a threat despite the fact that they were man-eating monsters. In fact, these days, nobles would even organize hunting events to hunt Crades for fun.
[But the Ancient Crades are different…]
Luna gulped hard while staring at the first Ancient Crade that crawled out of the magic circle that looked like a whirlpool/portal at the moment.
The monster was at least fifteen meters tall.
