Matthew let out a sneer.
Driving us away after we refused to be the bait? Seems like these people are gonna cast us aside.
Of course, the crown prince was unhappy with this, so he and the young man immediately started
yelling at each other.
Just as both sides were about to come to blows, Matthew suddenly picked up a stone from the ground
and tossed it into the pool at the center near the Damrons' side.
The stone dropped into the pool with a splash.
The next instant, a gigantic creature suddenly shot out of the pool! It was a large crimson serpent that
was nearly 7 meters in length and about as thick as a pail.
Covered in crimson scales, it had a horn on its head and—surprisingly—two little claws on its
abdomen.
Its two eyes shone with an eerie glow like a pair of yellow light bulbs.The crown prince's eyes widened.
"I-Is that a dragon?!"
Only now did everyone understand why the only person who had managed to flee back to the village
would utter the word "Dragon.
Indeed, the crimson serpent did look like a dragon! Emerging from the water, the crimson serpent
turned and opened its large, fierce-looking mouth.
Then, it immediately bit a nearby person.
The person screamed in a shrill voice, but he couldn't fight back at all.
After tossing him into the air, the crimson serpent opened its mouth and caught him.
Then, as its neck stretched and contracted, it swallowed the person whole! Everyone nearby trembled
with fear at the sight of the scene.
To think that it swallowed a living person whole alf at once! Witnessing this, Quincy nearly spat blood
on the spot.
"Who told you to toss the stone into the pool?!" he growled.
Matthew didn't give a damn about him, though.He merely dragged the crown prince back a few steps.
Just then, the crimson serpent made another lunge at those from Bainbridge.
After all, it was so close to them.
Two of those from Bainbridge took out their machetes, wanting to hack at the crimson serpent.
Instead of dodging their attack, the crimson serpent let them slash at it.
The two men hacked their machetes at its scales, producing a clang of metal as though they were
hacking at steel.
The crimson serpent was unscathed, but it had pounced on the two men.
Before they could react, it bit one of them and grabbed another with its claw.
The bitten person was instantly swallowed up, whereas the person it grabbed was dragged directly into
the water.
All everyone heard was a series of shrill, blood- curdling screams, and there was the smell of flesh
being scalded by boiling water.
After that, the man didn't make a sound anymore.
This time, many people nearly peed themselves in fright.
They knew that the bubbling water in the pool was about 100 degrees Celsius in temperature.
By being dragged into the water, that person had been cooked alive! The crimson serpent didn't stop at
that either as it burst out of the water again.
This time, its target was Rose! Rose had never seen such a situation before.
At this moment, her face blanched with fright, and she stood in place, having forgotten to run away as
the crimson serpent knocked the two bodyguards standing next to her flying.
Elrich, who was standing relatively close to Rose, immediately rushed toward her and grabbed her.
Then, he rolled to the ground with her in his arms, dodging the crimson serpent's fatal blow.
Still, he was clawed at by the crimson serpent, whose claws were as hot as red-hot iron.
As a result, a patch of blisters formed on his back, causing him to let out a shrill scream.He rolled to a
corner and struggled several times without being able to get up.
At the sight of the scene, Quincy immediately rushed toward Rose, shouting, "Protect the young lady!"
The Damrons rushed toward the crimson serpent and took out all kinds of weapons to fight with
it.Some of them even took out their guns and fired away at the crimson serpent.
Unfortunately, the crimson serpent's scales were as hard as iron armor, so these people's weapons
didn't hurt the crimson serpent at all.
Even when the bullets hit the scales, they only produced sparks without hurting the crimson serpent.
On the other hand, the crimson serpent charged into the crowd and went on a rampage.It didn't take
long before most of the Damrons were dead.
Under the crimson serpent's attacks, the Damrons were like a bunch of ants with no ability to fight
back.
