As Kael flew closer to the surface, his Spirit Eyes caught movement below.
[Multiple signatures detected. Rank 5 to Rank 8 Mana heart sea beasts approaching. Hostile intent confirmed.]
The dwarf's warning about "other dangerous inhabitants" proved true.
Below him, the ocean boiled with approaching predators. Jaws snapped at the Leviathan's trailing body.
SNAP-SNAP!
SPLASH-SPLASH!
GRRRR-GRRRR!
A massive shape circled below—another Rank 8. Then a Rank 7. Then dozens of Rank 5s and 6s, all converging on the blood trail.
Kael sighed.
Hhhh.
He cracked his neck.
Crack-crack.
He gripped his Shadow Slayer blades.
"I guess it's an all-you-can-eat buffet today."
The first wave hit. Six Rank 5 Ripsharks launched from below simultaneously.
Kael encased the Leviathan's body in a cube of compressed darkness solidified into a container. The cube sealed shut, impenetrable.
THUMP.
The Ripsharks slammed into the cube and bounced off.
