The sky was painted with shades of orange, marking the end of the day in the scorching desert. In a region to the east of this desert, thunderous roars and earth-shaking tremors echoed over a vast area.
Then, a large amount of earth abruptly rose into the sky. The shadow of a serpent, almost ten meters long, soared with its jaws wide open, shooting as fast as an arrow released from a divine bow, distorting the space around it.
"Watch out!!!" A tense cry from a woman reverberated.
"Worry about yourself and trust your back, idiot." The response came from a giant whale, floating a good distance from the battlefield, apparently just observing.
In the next second, Langrum made a frustrated click with her tongue and leaped toward the giant serpent without looking back. A violent impact generated a wave of Qi that swept the area, raising more sand and earth into the air like a sea wave.
