"Boom!"
A massive magical beast struggled in midair before falling into the water, creating sky-high splashes with its huge body.
As the creature flailed on the surface, desperately trying to take off and fly again, it seemed to have sustained serious injuries and lost the ability to fly. Despite the commotion, it couldn't seem to rise again.
The thrashing beast disturbed many underwater magical beasts, and a massive creature quietly rose in the water, its long tentacles slicing through the currents toward the surface.
"Splash!"
In the midst of the water's tumult, a giant tentacle wreathed in black mist shot out from the depths, soared half a circle in midair, looped back, and grasped the struggling beast.
The next second, the beast that was fluttering on the water sank directly below, creating a huge whirlpool.
The surface quickly returned to tranquility.
Above the clouds, people floated quietly, each of them filled with expectation.
