Shadow Slave

Sunny stared at the colossal reptilian head that had risen from below the waves. There were streams of water flowing down from it like roaring waterfalls, and brands of tarnished silver encasing it like armor. The monster's eyes were like murky lakes, and its massive beak was like the ram of an oceanic battleship.

Of course, there was no vessel in the waking world that could compare with the destructive power of that beak.

The thing that Sunny had assumed to be an island was, in fact, the shell of a giant, monstrous black turtle.

He froze, stunned by the sheer size of the Great Monster.

'...And I thought that that sea snake was enormous.'

The sea serpent that had been following Sunny was, indeed, quite large - it was easily larger than the Fallen Titan Goliath, whom Sunny had killed during the siege of Falcon Scott. However, the creature's body was still only a couple hundred meters long.

The monstrous turtle, meanwhile, spanned more than a kilometer. In front of it, the serpent looked like a little snake.

And yet, it seems undeterred.

The azure serpent had risen its head out of the water, too, and was staring at the Great Monster in front of it with its mad, cloudy eyes.

The two Nightmare Creatures observed each other.

Sunny, meanwhile, was cursing his fate.

'Damn it... damn it! I was hoping to step on something solid again!'

Instead of a safe harbor, he found an abomination that was even more harrowing than the one waiting to swallow him whole.

"You can still step on that turtle, you know."

The Sin of Solace grinned.

Sunny spared him a dark glance, then turned to look at the two abominations.

At that moment, the giant turtle lowered its head a little and let out a low, threatening huff - which sounded like rolling thunder. Water was still flowing off its black scales, and its murky eyes were slowly igniting with dark silver light.

It was clearly not happy that another Nightmare Creature had invaded its territory and disturbed its sleep.

The azure serpent stared at it for a few moments more, then turned its snout and threw a deranged gaze at Sunny.
