A deafening roar echoed far into the distance.
Even the ground trembled slightly.
A Professional Brave Squad that had just ventured deep into Mud City immediately spotted the collapsing pavilion.
"Look!" a young man in combat fatigues exclaimed, his head tilted back and his mouth agape. "What is that monster?!"
The other seven or eight members of the squad all looked in the same direction.
Amidst the rumbling, the top two floors of the five-story pavilion collapsed one after the other, sending a waterfall of mud pouring down.
A massive, human-headed dog made of yellow mud was rampaging inside, frantically thrashing and tearing at something. As the mud churned, a few faint glimmers of icy blue light, like Ice Crystals, shone through.
BOOM!!
Suddenly, a pillar of brownish-red fire erupted from below like an enraged dragon bursting from the earth, instantly blasting the human-headed dog's raised left forelimb to pieces!
"AWOOO—"
