Capítulo 145: Truth Beneath the Lies [1]

It was as if time itself had frozen. The massive, unblinking eyeball loomed over them, its gaze locked on Azriel and Joaquin, who stood unmoving.

"So, it's returned. I couldn't even sense it watching us. Oh… is it injured?"

Joaquin's voice was low, his eyes narrowing as he observed the creature.

'Tarshakael…'

Azriel's expression darkened, feeling an ominous weight in the creature's gaze. It held him as though trapped, his mind struggling to fully comprehend the entity before him.

It was simply an enormous eyeball, yet something moved beneath the dark, silent sea.

"Ah, so it must have fought something that threatened its territory," Joaquin murmured, his face calm as he pieced together the events.

"This sea must be accessible to other titans, after all."

Azriel's face grew tense as he stared at the monstrous eye, while Joaquin let out a disappointed sigh.
