"So Adeline's monster has arrived?" Wise rose and walked to the edge of the ship, staring at the open sea.
About three hundred metres away from them, the water was being split apart as a creature changed toward their boat.
The monster was fully hidden by the water, leaving only one part of it above sea— a structure similar to a shimmering blue hook.
But that hook was all he needed to identify the monster.
Wise took a step back. "Is it too late to abandon this ship?"
Esme immediately turned to him. "What do you mean?"
"That is a Ship Eater, but you probably know it by its popular name, the Kraken."
The petite girl paled and let go of the railings. "A K-Kraken?!"
Krakens were some of the most powerful monsters in the sea. It was larger than Wise in his dragonic form and was known for eating ships whole.
"A Kraken?!" One of the passengers said, rising up to his feet and rushing to the edge of the boat to confirm it for himself. "My God, it's a Kraken! Call the ocean guard!"
