「Seven hours earlier, at the site where the Dusk Whale fell.」
Having finally slain the Dusk Whale, Shi Ming plunged his right arm, hot with excitement, into the heart of the S-rank Sea Beast. This was where its Dusk Power was most concentrated. The vast energy was channeled through his arm, flowing into Shi Ming's body in a controlled stream.
Compared to the dead Sea Beast, he was now more like a great whale himself, swallowing the ocean whole.
He let out a long breath.
He felt signs of corrosion on his body, but that was unavoidable. For now, he ignored such details and slowly closed his eyes, feeling the power merge with him—a necessary step.
'It's not my first time, but it's just as exhilarating every single time!'
'Having my craving for power satisfied is even more thrilling than combat itself.'
The surrounding sea had fallen deathly silent, with no one to disturb him.
...
When a whale falls, a world is born.
As dusk and dawn cycle, so too do life and death intertwine.
