The spirit warriors of the House Ravens reacted instantly. One of them grabbed Fiona by the arm and yanked her backward, and she fled in a panic, stumbling as she retreated.
"Roar!"
The Abyssal Crocodile clearly hadn't expected its meal to suddenly escape. Anger surged through it as it roared again, the shockwave of its voice blasting apart several nearby trees, leaves, and splinters flying everywhere.
The sudden appearance of the Abyssal Crocodile caught everyone completely off guard. Had their attention not been fixed on the ruins moments earlier, many spirit warriors might have already been swallowed whole the instant it emerged.
Fiona staggered to a stop in the distance, her face deathly pale as she gasped for breath, terror written all over her features.
If not for her family acting in time, she would have already become The Abyssal Crocodile's food.
