Sterling and Erick naturally noticed Richard and the others approaching — they were far too eye-catching, with so many airships flying together.
"Who are they?" Erick asked, clearly not expecting anyone to interfere.
He probably didn't understand the situation, thinking he had merely bought something from someone — unaware that his purchase had offended another.
"Don't worry. I'll handle them," Sterling replied calmly.
He glanced at the Giant Black Snake King and waved his hand toward it.
The massive serpent immediately moved toward the lake.
It could stand atop the water's surface, and its speed actually increased drastically.
"Master Alex, please!"
Richard knew that no one among those he brought could possibly defeat that snake.
"Don't worry, that thing's just a small animal. If necessary, I'll flatten all the beasts it's hiding," Master Alex said casually, stepping into the air.
With a single stride, he appeared directly before the enormous serpent's head.
