The Seal

Blood oozed, dripping into the dark waters as the large body of the carp overhead stood still, the light in its eyes having died down.

Its entire body save for its head was pierced by large ice spikes that looked rather extraordinary under the sun but their victim couldn't appreciate it.

Just like that, this powerful monster was killed off.

It seemed a little disappointing that it had only amounted to this much after all that Primus that it absorbed.

Of course, this wasn't anyone else's view other than Tulnas'.

With the carp's death as it was steadily held up by the spikes, the group felt changes over their bodies, their masses bulging up in an instant as soon, they all popped out of the water, returning to their original sizes!

As they appeared, they saw that they were near land, at the shallow end of the lake.

Skullius looked around and sighed in relief.

The nightmare seemed to be over.

He hoped at least.
