But as he turned back, he saw a massive eyeball looking at him...
But Samuel noticed something...
The massive eyeball in the wall was not a part of the rock... it was one of seven. Slowly, majestically, and colossal, it began to reveal itself. Its immense body, scaled and sinuous, coiled within the vast underwater chamber, previously hidden by the gloom and its deceptive stillness. One by one, its seven heads emerged from the rock wall, each topped with a single, glowing red eye, their serpentine necks extending towards Samuel. The head he had just seen was just one of many. Each head was as large as a small submarine, its jaws lined with rows of razor-sharp teeth.
Samuel's heightened senses immediately registered the creature's immense arcane essence, a deep, ancient essence that radiated through the water. He was still retaining essence from his and the mermaid's battle, his essence slightly depleted. He knew this was going to be a prolonged fight for him...
