His claws silently cut through the water. The black spear force was so sharp it did not even leave a trace on it path.
Then it touched the lava metapede. Ved had expected a loud explosion, a sound of clicking metal or other dramatic effect but none of that happened.
His claws cut through the lava metapede's armour like it was tofu. The world got quiet for a while then BOOOOM.
The awaited explosion came. Lava like blood and body pieces shot out like shrapnel. The sea was dyed red and orange by it blood.
The lava metapede screeched in pain, a large gaping wound appeared on it side. Ved retreated, his body moving unsteadily.
His body had already shut down, he forced himself to remain conscious through sheer willpower alone.
The lava metapede seemed to realise how dangerous he was. It glared at him cautiously them retreated.
It turned around and swam away. Only after it had completely disappeared did Ved allow himself to faint.
