Raiden's gaze remained fixed on the leviathan's sealed maw, its razor teeth gleaming. The beast's otherworldly breath bathed his entire body in oppressive warmth while the others lingered behind him.
The Leviathan's Path to Hour Island was obvious, yet he couldn't shake the question: could the Huntress reach them in the absolute realm?
His heartbeat began drowning out everything behind them, each thunderous pulse reverberating through his body. He clenched his fist, willing himself to believe it wasn't possible.
"Only leviathans can get in." He muttered to himself.
The moment he did, Chrono's voice rang out behind him. "I heard you want to kill your vice captain," he said, cockiness thick in his voice as he approached.
Raiden closed his eyes, tilting his head back to stare at the leviathan's hard palate. He knew Chrono was about to wreak havoc with his words, but he knew better than to retreat into his thoughts. He had to address this.
