The dark cloud overhead paused for a moment.
The monster, over a hundred feet tall, let its smile fade and looked from side to side.
"A trap!"
It was decisive, turning as if to flee.
But just as it turned, it spun back around violently, its rotten spear stabbing down like lightning with a thunderous CRACK.
"Since I'm already here, how could I possibly leave empty-handed!?"
The wind and clouds stirred.
Nai Daoist had appeared at some unknown point, a deep smile on his face.
"A homeless dog wandering the worlds, insatiably greedy. I knew you wouldn't leave."
He made a grasping motion with his large hand, summoning a hot, yellow wind that swept through the area, wrapping around the spear and halting its advance.
Facing such a formidable character, the monster in the dark cloud decisively let go of its weapon and fled.
"You think you can keep me here!?"
