Outside the main gate, the commotion caused by the near-death centipede gradually died down. The colossal body of the centipede had already ceased to struggle, with only its weighty legs intermittently trembling. The magical beasts, who were thrown into a chaos by the death throes of the centipede, had finally regrouped at the entrance once more.

Of course, calling it small is relative to other magical beasts; in reality, even lying flat on the ground, it would be taller than a human's calf.
