The smoke of battle had not yet completely dissipated. Under Ed's command, the soldiers of Black Stone Territory were cleaning up the battlefield and collecting the spoils of war.
Not far away, the hundred-meter-long Golden Dragon Sun was conversing in a low voice with the Eternal Giant Turtle.
The turtle's mountain-like head was slightly lowered, and a flame burned within its ancient, murky eyes.
"Sun, my friend, this is a Communication Water Snail, unique to the Black Water River. Just crush it, and no matter where I am, I will receive your message."
The Eternal Giant Turtle's voice was like the muffled thunder from deep within the earth's crust. It used its Magic Power to lift a palm-sized conch, wreathed in a halo of aquamarine light, and presented it to Sun.
Sun solemnly extended a massive claw and carefully accepted the water snail.
"I look forward to the day of our revenge."
The Eternal Giant Turtle let out a roar.
Their agreement made, it did not linger.
