More ripples spread across the lake, but the other fish didn't scatter. They simply adjusted their positions, gliding calmly like Ben were never there.
Ben clenched his jaw, eyes narrowing. "You smug little glowing bastard…"
He shifted his stance, planting his feet in the marshy soil near the water's edge.
Two of his appendage start to morph forming a wide, circular suction valve. The other remained a maw, ready to consume the fishes.
Ben's eyes glinted. "Let's see you dodge this."
The suction appendage plunged into the lake with a wet hiss, and the moment it activated, the water began swirling violently in a tight, focused vortex. Nearby debris, strands of lakeweed, and tiny plants were dragged inward, caught in the spiral like leaves in a drain.
Ben kept his focus steady, eyes locked on one of the fish as it flicked its tail and shot away from the pull—just like before.
But this time, the second appendage was ready. It shot out like a coiled serpent/
CHOMP!
