They couldn't help but be amazed by the monstrous creature before them, a true marvel of the natural world.

As the imposing creature took center stage in the bustling square, Splash couldn't contain his wonder. "Wow, that monster is huge," he whispered to Lyrastra. "It's estimated to be at least an SS-level."

Lyrastra nodded in agreement. "Yes, it's impressive. But the Venomweaver I'm looking for is on a whole different level. It's an SSS-class monster."

The square was abuzz with anticipation, and the crowd grew hushed as a soldier from the Verdantia kingdom emerged to make an announcement. His voice carried over the crowd as he explained the kingdom's intentions for the rare monster.

Last time we talked, she had just lost Richard."Alvin's expression softened at the mention of Camilla. "She's doing much better now," he replied. "She's formed a contract with Neptunis and even mastered the art of lightning magic. It's incredible how resilient she is."Marshall's eyes widened in genuine amazement. "That'
