Watching its master prostrate to the ground, the giant Devilbeast flapped its wings, attempting to escape. It had realized that the circumstances have changed in a direction it did not foresee.

However, if it rose to the air, they would not have such scruples.
For a second, most of the anti-aircraft machine guns on the campground were aimed at the giant creature.
