The carp-eel lowered its head toward the shore, and Drai instinctively leaped back, but the gigantic fish didn't seem to notice him—it went for the trees and chomped down, decimating a large portion of them, before pulling back and retreating underwater.
This created a mini tsunami that swept the shore, so Drai deactivated his skill, leaped up, and perched on a tree branch, avoiding the tide while gazing at the remainder of the huge splash caused by the carp-eel when its head resubmerged.
"What the hell was that thing? Is it the ruler of Endless Blue? Max never mentioned anything about it, and I don't remember seeing it in his map or Madeleine's. Hmm, maybe they aren't aware of its existence since it likely spends most of its time underwater—even I only got to see it by chance."
The water flooding the shore receded, and Drai shifted his gaze toward the large patches of broken tree stumps.
