I took my stance and waited for this mana fiend to show itself.
Fortunately, my wait didn't last long as something huge came out of the cave.
Its large body was barely fitting into the cave and I could tell from this that it was around 4 meters tall and 3 meters wide.
It didn't have any limbs as it was slithering on the hot ground, smearing a black, ink-like substance around it. The black liquid was slowly flowing out from under its black, abyss like scales, letting out a sharp, disgusting scent.
It had 3 slitted red eyes, 2 of which were on the side of its head while the last one was in the middle.
And all of its eyes were focused on me, without even acknowledging Aria or Amelia. Probably it knew that I was more dangerous than them.
As it slithered out of the cave, I caught sight of only ten meters of the creature's long, sinuous body, while the rest remained hidden within the shadowy depths of the cavern.
