A Serious Obstacle that Came Out of the Blue

Upon hearing that, Leon was slightly taken aback. He exchanged glances with Elina, who looked just as surprised.

Both of them nodded subtly and continued listening in silence to the ongoing conversation.

"Are you sure? Wasn't that Sea Dragon defeated by a hero two hundred years ago?"

"I'm not sure either. But I heard the monster wasn't truly killed. They say it still appears near the beach every year, disturbing people trying to relax."

"That's strange. Could it really be the same dragon? Or maybe its offspring—left behind before the Sea Dragon was slain?"

"Possibly. It's not impossible. Either way, we need to be extra cautious when heading to the beach. The sea may be calmer between fall and winter, but that's exactly when the monster tends to show up. In fact, I saw its shadow just yesterday while I was fishing."

Their conversation continued, serious and tense.
