The Fourth Progenitor Fragment pulsed in Lin Tian's grip as the Kraken's stomach walls convulsed around him.
Violet veins bulged and ruptured. Black ichor sprayed across the membrane. The creature's roar shook through the water, through the flesh, through the bones of Lin Tian's skull.
He didn't wait.
Lin Tian drove his fist forward, the Fragment's pale blue light flaring like a star in the darkness. The stomach wall tore open. He burst through layers of muscle and cartilage and thick, fibrous tissue, the Fragment blazing a path through the Kraken's body.
Light flooded the trench.
Lin Tian emerged from a wound in the creature's side, the Water Fragment raised above his head. Its glow cut through the crushing dark, illuminating the battlefield.
The team was still fighting.
