"Come on, why don't you come up and play for a bit?"
Nerio smiled, his tone hovering between an invitation and a challenge. But as soon as they faced Nerio, the monsters abruptly shrank back, diving beneath the water's surface at an astonishing speed, vanishing into the deep blue depths.
They could sense an unfathomable power from this person. They feared him!
Nerio burst into laughter at seeing the monsters fleeing for their lives. "Hahaha, such weaklings. When is this going to get fun?"
He leaned toward the water, tilting at an angle that would send anyone else tumbling in, yet remained perfectly steady. His face was so close to the surface it seemed like he might kiss it. He curled his lips into a smirk and whispered, "Hurry up and crawl out of the water already, you pathetic things."
