บท 94: Croco Save's the Day

Maximo slowly opened his remaining eye after hearing the tragic scream of a woman. 

The scream came from Ellie. 

Her eyes were bulging out from its socket as she stared at her hand. Her mouth was wide open as an ear-piercing scream escaped from it. 

Her hand was no longer there. It was severed and separated from her arm.

The dagger fell to the ground along with Ellie's severed hand. The hand was still holding the dagger tightly in a reversed grip position. 

Blood was dripping from Ellie's arm.

A few meters away from the severed hand, there stood a scaly and thick object. Moving above, one could see a blade protruding on its side. The blade was almost two feet long. At the tip of the blade, there was a red and sticky liquid flowing smoothly towards the base of the blade. 

It was blood. Ellie's blood. 

Above the sharp blade was a muscular and scaly leg.
