The sound of the explosion, accelerated and amplified by the water, pierced his audio receptors but filled him with relief nonetheless. The beast had been pursuing him for hours, since the very moment when Aves had dived from a Boat near Stelt’s shore into the abyssal waters. Of course, he had been aware that he would surely encounter underwater beasts, but with the winter storms raging on at the sea’s surface, it would have been downright suicidal to travel by Boat. The dreadful sound of Protosteel jaws chomping sliced through his ears again. Aves looked down in horror as he saw the Nyukeleus right underneath him, its mouth gaping open.
