BOOM!
A terrifying mana pulse exploded from the abyss.
The force of it rippled through the water, distorting the very fabric of the sea. It wasn't just powerful—it was overwhelming. The kind of power that shouldn't exist in this place.
Azurea and Marina felt their bodies tremble. Their gazes met, and in their eyes, the same thought flashed—Impossible.
The sea monster had advanced.
