Shiro chuckled too, realizing he had overlooked this crucial detail. Sasaki could use his skill, 'Water Serpent,' to retrieve the corpse from the water, just like he did to get the corpse from underneath the cabin.
Sasaki crossed his fingers and stretched them outward, cracking his knuckles in preparation. "Water Serpent," he whispered, forming the serpent of water.
The water around the shore began to ripple and swirl.
Slowly, a giant serpent made entirely of water materialized from thin air. Its body shimmered in the sunlight, and it hissed softly, curling its long, fluid body in the air.
The serpent looked almost alive, moving with a graceful, undulating motion.
Sasaki commanded the serpent to dive into the sea.
The serpent obeyed, slipping into the water and diving deep beneath the surface.
It dived headfirst, its body following in a smooth, swirling motion, much like a snake diving straight into the water.
