An Elemental Beast?

As if the flaming torment wasn't enough, the Ant King saw the panda bringing the fire close to his mouth.

'What is this panda up to?' The Ant King flinched back and stood guard, expecting an attack at any moment.

Soon it happened.

The panda opened his jaws wide, and a roaring sound like that of a rushing river with a fierce current was heard. The ants inside panicked, thinking they were being attacked.

Fortunately for them, before anything could happen, Nox's voice cut through the air. "Time's up! Thirteen, stop!"

[Huh? Already? But I haven't even started fighting yet!] the Ant King bellowed with frustration evident on his face. Meanwhile, the panda closed his mouth and gulped noisily.

Nox sighed. If he had been too late, Thirteen would have used Oceanic Torrent, destroying the ant nest. He had strictly instructed the panda to delay the fight for just one minute since there was no reward for continuing beyond that time.
