Abyss Draconis

Chapter 474: Finally Acting

“Quite the fine sword you have here, Elliana. Mind if I borrow it for a bit?” Ryuk asked as he turned his head behind him.

But then, he noticed the twins instead had their jaws wide open in shock as they looked into the sky above his head.

Ryuk slowly turned his gaze—and finally saw the reason for their pause.

Right above them, thirty meters in the air, with dark lava trailing beneath it, was a five-meter-tall monstrosity.

It looked like a mixture of a shark and a human.

A burly, large body with two scaly arms ending in gnarled claws, a huge head that held rows of sharp, homodont teeth, and a sharp, blade-like protrusion running down its spine.

Its legs were angled like that of a were beast with fins at their end trailing behind it—the reason why it could barely swim in the lava.

And right now, it was soaring forward with speed toward the trio, its claws expanding faster than one could blink.

“I’ll take your silence as a yes, Elliana…” Ryuk said, and in the next instant, he moved his leg forward.

A powerful thump resounded as his right foot smashed into the ground beneath him, sending cracks across the platform they stood on—and then Ryuk’s body followed suit, his right hand lunging forward with the katana heading straight toward those razor-sharp claws.
