Divine Adamantine Beast

A huge, slender shadow emerged from the depths of the ocean, then wrapped itself around the island's mountain before resting its head on the mountain's peak, where it silently gazed at the high priestess.

The high priestess walked to the edge of the peak and caressed the bristle on the creature's neck.

"Don't let anyone bother him," said the high priestess gently.

"Huh... judging from the commotion just now, I thought it was Earthbreaker who had finally reached Saint-tier," said the creature, its silhouette completely merged with the darkness of the night. Only a pair of silver eyes twinkled in the sky. They belonged to a black dragon that stood taller than even the mountain itself.

The Earthbreaker Dragon Ape shook its head. "I'm still a long way from Saint-tier."

"Don't worry. I'll make sure those little squirts don't get too close," said the black dragon, revealing its sharp white fangs as its mouth split into a grin.
