345 - Great Forest Arc 3

When the eye fell to the ground with a heavy thud, a solid crust began to form around the creature. The water surrounding it reacted with the monster's remaining heat, solidifying and creating a layer of stone that quickly spread over its surface. It was the same petrification process that Ryan had already witnessed with other creatures when exposed to large amounts of water.

However, something was different this time. Even though the stone crust was forming and the eye seemed immobilized, Ryan could sense something was wrong. He activated his Demon Sight again, his eyes glowing with a dark light as he examined the creature more closely. It was then that he realized: a flow of energy persisted inside the eye, pulsing slowly like a heart that refused to stop beating.
