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.

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