Gazing at the cyan serpent, I couldn't help but feel my body shudder. "Wh-What the fuck is that?!"
"...A-A mana beast?" Amelia stammered, her wide eyes fixed on the monstrosity before us.
"...No, nonsense!" Nero shook his head. "If that is a mana beast, then it's easily above the Diamond rank!"
"A-A… Divine mana beast?" Anastasia gulped.
"But then the academy should know about it!" Kent objected.
Unfortunately, before any of us could continue the talk, the serpent lunged at us, pulverizing the trunks of all the trees that dared to block its path.
Without a word, all of us scattered by darting in different directions.
The serpent hit nothing but the uneven forest ground where we had been standing just a few seconds ago, sending a localized earthquake.
The tremor almost threw me off but I managed to keep my balance and stay on foot. I felt the ground shaking again as the serpent began to move. It was going to chase us.
