1014 The Fall of Falcon Scott (32)

Sunny had seen Bloodwave in his bestial form once from afar, but up close, the Saint of Night was much more terrifying.

The creature he had transformed into looked somewhat like a killer whale, its hide black and white, the lines of its body smooth and predatory. However, it was much, much larger than any mundane beast had any right to be.

There was a patchwork of ugly scars covering its hide, and steel armor encasing its long fins, edges sharp like blades. Its enormous eyes glowed in the darkness of the ocean with blue light, full of willpower and intelligence.

Even knowing that the giant killer whale was actually a human, Sunny couldn't help but feel tense in front of the great predator.

Since the beginning of the siege of Falcon Scott, Bloodwave had rarely shown himself — he mostly remained underwater, protecting the anchored ships and fighting those Nightmare Creatures that would try to attack the city from the depths.

Army Command did not dare leave the port fortress and the vulnerable vessels without a defender...

And yet, today, that was exactly what had to happen.

While Sunny stared at the mighty Saint, Naeve glided forward and then hovered in front of the killer whale's snout, keeping himself in place with barely noticeable movements of his arms and legs. The tall Master looked tiny beside the giant creature.
