Sword God in a World of Magic

"Yes," Shang answered. "What kind of beast is that green eagle? It was in the Late Soldier Stage, but it was able to damage a General Stage beast to this degree with only a single attack."

"First, I want to know what happened to the green eagle," the teacher ordered. "Don't omit any detail."

Shang frowned, but he complied. "The green eagle was the one that found the snake. I can feel the approach of the weaker variants, but I hadn't felt the approach of this one."

"The eagle attacked, but it failed in its assault and released that powerful attack before retreating," Shang said as he pointed at the three gashes. "I decided that this is the best opportunity to earn some money and combat experience, which is why I attacked the snake."

"Near the end of the fight, the green eagle returned and severed the tail. After that, I killed the snake. I saw that the green eagle was a huge threat to my safety, which is why I didn't want to fight over the corpse with it. However, funnily enough, it just let the corpse lay there and ate the tail instead."

"I haven't seen it since."

The teacher looked into Shang's eyes for a while, trying to make sure that Shang wasn't lying.

Then, she nodded. "Everything you said makes sense."

The teacher stood up and stepped away from the corpse, looking at Shang. "It's good that you didn't attack it."

"What kind of beast is it?" Shang asked.

"Progeny of the Storm Eagle," she answered.

"The… Storm Eagle?" Shang asked in shock.

The Storm Eagle!?

The very beast that had this Zone named after it?

The very beast that could kill all the humans if it wanted to?

The teacher nodded. "Its young keep flying around in this area. It has a couple of them, and you met the youngest. Luckily for us, they don't attack humans."
