Sacred Beasts

A  pair of eyes stared at them from the flames. The eyes were glowing with yellow light. It was as if a God was watching them. 

"Wha-"

"Just what is going on!?", the huge dwarf asked while sweating profusely.

The tattoos on his body had started to give a faint red light already right after the explosion occurred.

The dwarves looked at the tattoos and seemed much more scared.

'A-'

'A fire-type sacred beast?', the huge dwarf asked himself.

'What is such a being doing here?'

So, what are sacred beasts? 

Sacred beasts are those beasts whose powers have reached a tremendous level. They can rival the Celestials easily. However, despite having such powers, they refuse to become Celestials since being a Celestial means losing one's freedom.

What does that mean?

Just by reaching the power level of a Celestial, one cannot become celestial. One just becomes eligible at that point.
