"There's something I've been wondering," Lina said, nudging Catherine to spin around in place, the light pillar on her back illuminating the expansive space around them. "If the merfolk and this giant beast were fighting side by side, I'm curious about how it died. Conventional wisdom suggests that killing such a massive creature would leave large wounds, but so far, we haven't found any signs of skeletal damage."
"You probably don't understand, but killing a creature of this size won't necessarily leave marks on its bones." Pannis explained. "To inflict a lethal wound on such a beast, the best method is to attack from the inside. Trying to pierce their tough skin and muscle — thicker than a human's — from the outside is nearly impossible. So, if I were to battle this beast, I would thrust full force into its mouth and aim to destroy its brain or its organs. Either way, there would be no damage visible on the skeleton."
