Lenny suddenly brought out a cigarette from his storage unit. Just as he thought, the cigarette did not get wet.
Using his white flames, he lightened the butt of the cigarette. He took in a deep whiff of it, enjoying the flavor as it entered his lungs.
Lenny watched with incredible apathy as this happened.
In a sudden and harrowing twist, the Scarlet Leviathan, with its powerful tentacles, hoisted Victor to the water's surface.
However, the creature's intentions took a dark turn as sharp spikes emerged from its body, impaling Victor and displaying him like a gruesome trophy. Victor's desperate gaze sought Lenny, his eyes pleading for aid, but instead of sympathy, Lenny met his gaze with an unsettling glee.
As the spikes punctured Victor's body, his blood mingled with the surrounding water, creating a macabre dance of crimson tendrils that dispersed in the aquatic expanse.
