Rustle rustle—
The sound of surging waves arose within Crystal Lake.
For a moment, one could see a massive amount of metallic minerals stacked at the bottom of Crystal Lake, skeletons infused with metal, and unknown creations from the old civilization, beginning to converge in the direction of Shasha under an invisible magnetic force.
"Woo woo!!"
Moving its body, Shasha did not concern itself with the metals naturally converging towards it but twisted its body violently instead.
Amidst this vigorous twisting, one could vaguely see, with the crisp sounds of cracking, its outer shell began to shatter, fall off, and slowly shed...
Then, beneath the old layer of skin, a new body emerged, shining more brightly with a silver metallic luster!
Crack!
After shedding its skin, Shasha's size had not increased much, but Ian knew that it had undergone a fundamental transformation.
