Upon closer inspection, blood soon stained part of the river, but within seconds, the strong current swept it away, dragging away a huge beast.
It was a strange freshwater shark.
At that moment, a bunch of sharks appeared near the shore. There were about 200 of them, and they weren't the only ones.
The back of a beast, presumably a water dragon, appeared quite close to both of them.
Hardrial stepped forward and slammed his foot into the water, sending powerful currents crashing into the surroundings. They didn't hit hard, but they did reveal his strength.
The hundreds of beasts that had appeared seemed to glare at him dangerously before hiding. Hardrial's message had been clear: Do you really want to fight?
Although they are beasts, they are much more intelligent than one might believe. They know how to attack in packs, but also when they cannot fight.
That is why they returned to their hiding places.
