Encounter in the Misty Mountain Range: Nester?

================¶¶================

A few minutes before Arthur arrived at the battlefield, a giant salamander was in deep sleep beside a river.

The salamander had bright red scales and a blood-red orb was embedded on its forehead in between its horns that were spiral.

This was a Spirit Beast whose strength was in the later stages of the Martial King Realm. But if it is angered or pushed to a corner, its strength can reach the peak and even go beyond it, just below the Martial Emperor Realm.

This was the rare beast that is called, the Scarlet Flame Salamander. It was said that their species were descendants of the Flame Dragon, so because of that, they had a trace of a dragon's bloodline.

One can tell if they have a trace of the dragon's bloodline by the blood-red orb on their forehead.

But while it had its eyes closed as it rested in the serene environment, a young girl was standing not far from it.
