Under everyone's watchful gaze, Ang efficiently began processing the Fire Lizard he had caught.
Its massive body was gradually cut open before him, revealing flame-like chunks of meat that glimmered faintly.
Each sweep of the blade was accompanied by the drifting aroma of roasted meat.
The Charge Regiment soldiers around him stared fixedly at Ang's movements, seeming to breathe as quietly as possible.
