Mana Heavenly Dragon, Lord-level Mana Beast.
According to the intelligence A Tang had provided, Lord-level Mana Beasts had appeared very few times during previous Aurora Tides. Historically, fewer than nine Lord-level Mana Beasts had been observed by wizards, and only a small portion of them had been hunted down.
Every Lord-level Mana Beast carried some kind of mission. It was said to be closely connected to the direction in which the Aurora Tide traveled.
