The water churned and split and a few kilometres away he could the giant body of the hippo running towards him like a moving mountain.
It reached him in only a few dozen seconds which was incredibly fast for something that huge but still much slower than he was. He didn't run but waited instead.
The hippo did not waste time and attacked the moment it saw him but he was different from before, he was nolonger that lower lifeform with an underserved dragon name.
He watched without panic as the giant mouth with spear like teeth came at him. He was not in any hurry to dodge and when it was a few metres away from him he moved.
His body flashed and he appeared a hundred metres away, the air exploded behind him. His eyes met the giant black marbles of the hippo and he was surprised.
He didn't notice it before but this thing was a spiritual beast. It intelligent eyes looked at him with anger and disdain. The disdain made his blood boil.
