The alarm blared, so loud it drowned out Ethan's own voice.
"Enough!" he roared, fury breaking through his restraint.
"Dragon of Consumption, get out there and see what the hell is going on!"
His Energy Core pulsed, and a tiny, inch-long black wyrm appeared in his hand. Ethan caught it by the tail and hurled it outward.
A low, eerie howl echoed through the chamber. The creature grew in an instant, twisting and expanding until it became a monstrous, catfish-like beast that blotted out the light.
"Can I eat them?" the beast asked, its drooping mouth curling into something that might have been a grin.
"Eat every single trespasser," Ethan ordered, eyes flashing with cold malice.
His Senses had already swept across the area. The same gate they had entered through was now jammed with an army of sea creatures. It wasn't a random attack—this was a full-scale assault on the City of the Whale Fall.
"Roger that!"
With a flick of its tail, the massive catfish vanished from sight.
