SHRIEEEK!
Stefan didn't idle, jumping in Claude's direction as the Kraken released him after Stefan's attacks. Stefan spread his arms open, catching Claude securely in his embrace. Holding Claude's head, the two of them fell into the waters.
SPLASH!
Stefan puffed his cheek as he held his breath, checking Claude. The latter was still unconscious; he looked as though he was deep asleep. Stefan covered Claude's ears, allowing the blood from his bleeding palm to swirl around them underwater. The Kraken was still screaming; if continued, it would completely break Claude's eardrums.
After making sure his ability silenced the harsh noise surrounding Claude, Stefan carried him to the surface. He didn't know what the dangers were on the surface, but it was better than staying underwater.
As soon as Stefan resurfaced from underwater, he gasped for air. He turned his head to Claude on instinct, shaking him slightly.
Hey guys! Sorry for not updating. I saw some comments asking why I wasn't posting. I believed I left a note and an announcement for all my readers to see from all the different tiers.
I had some serious real-life matters to do over the past months. The reason I couldn't focus on writing. Things are manageable now. Hopefully, it will continue this way.
Thank you for waiting for me. I appreciate you guys and will try to make up with you by publishing more chapters in the future.
