Evan Chu shot a fierce look at the monstrous beast looming ahead and declared hotly, "Killing it? Easy. My Frostbane Divine Sword is a god-tier weapon—let's see if I can finish this thing in one blow!"
Step by step, Evan Chu closed in on the beast, Chaos Immortal Force surging wildly inside him. Just two meters away, he lunged with all his might—knowing sword-qi alone couldn't scratch this monster, only the razor edge of the Frostbane Divine Sword had a chance to break its defense.
Wishful thinking is sweet—but reality is cruel. Before Evan Chu’s Frostbane Divine Sword could even get within half a meter, a gigantic tentacle whipped out, smashing him dozens of meters through the current. A burning pain exploded across his body.
And this was still inside the dark undercurrent—if they'd been out in the open, that strike would've hurled him hundreds of meters away. Good thing Evan Chu’s defenses were tough; otherwise, that blow would’ve left him crippled or worse.
He hadn’t expected the beast to wake at that exact moment—could it have never been asleep at all? Was it just faking, waiting for Evan Chu to strike so it could hit him with a sneak attack?
Evan Chu locked eyes with the Dark Abyssal Kraken and demanded, "What kind of monster are you? Why are you here? Can you even understand what this emperor is saying?"
Even as he said it, Evan Chu felt a flicker of self-mockery—his mindset right now was like a three-year-old. Why bother talking to an enemy? Shouldn’t he just cut it down and be done with it?
But killing this thing inside the dark current would be a nightmare. Evan Chu decided to lure the Dark Abyssal Kraken up to the lake surface—if he could fight in open air, maybe he could finish it fast, especially with Goldwing and the Golden Dragon King standing by on the shore.
The Dark Abyssal Kraken still didn’t say a word. Its whole body stayed frozen, but those two gem-like eyes glowed with eerie light, staring straight at Evan Chu—unnerving and strange.
With a single thought, Evan Chu unleashed the Frostbane Divine Sword from his palm, sending it streaking toward the Dark Abyssal Kraken at meteoric speed—even in the dark current, it shot forward like a comet, slamming right in front of the monster.
