Bab 163: Shadow Kraken

As the colossal shadowy tentacle thrashed and writhed, I quickly realized that facing a Shadow Kraken was a challenge unlike any I had encountered before. Its massive form cast an ominous darkness over the ship's deck, its presence suffocating, and its every movement filled with a malevolent intent.

It wasn't like the one I've met with Rose while searching for the Darkling Mask. No, this Kraken was different.

It was completely made out of shadow.

My heart raced, a mixture of fear and determination flooding my veins. I knew that I had to find a way to defeat this creature, or the ship and everyone aboard would be consumed by its darkness.

Swish...

The golden glow of my longsword seemed feeble against the enormity of the Shadow Kraken, but I refused to let doubt cloud my mind. I had faced formidable foes in the past, and each battle had honed my skills and sharpened my instincts.
