Fenric, meanwhile, moved to the side of the chamber and sat down cross-legged, slipping into a meditative posture. His breathing slowed, his presence grew still.

His Mana Sea.
Within the Cerulean Sea, the calm waves glimmered with quiet, radiant energy… but Fenric's eyes narrowed.
A ripple passed through the sea—followed by a massive shadow.
Then—
BOOM.
A gargantuan figure slowly emerged from the deeper part of the sea, so enormous it felt like the entire Mana Sea had shifted to make room for him.
