However as an alternative of weapons, the Sin of Solace materializes, chiding Sunny with a small smile: “This can be a peculiar location for a date.

A grim willpower settles over Sunny as he proposes a dangerous different: navigating via the tunnel’s depths to the exit wound underneath the Black Turtle’s flipper. He grabs Nephis’ hand once more, not letting go, and leads her onward, deeper into the monster’s corpse.

Disenchanted, Sunny realizes the serpent’s senses stay exact, even blind. A white arrow follows, carrying venom from the Bitter Cusp, courtesy of Nephis, whose talent with a bow is clear, if surprising. Although the wound is small, the toxin is the true weapon, a weakening agent for future assaults. “One dose of the black venom was not going to have an effect on the Azure Serpent a lot, however ten, twenty, or thirty might weaken it… maybe.”

Regardless of the venom circulating via its bloodstream, “the Azure Serpent’s eyes nonetheless burned with the identical insanity.” Sunny momentarily snaps out of his frenzy, reminding himself to kill the beast rapidly, but admits, “There have been no probabilities.”
The Azure Serpent maintains management, manipulating the water to its benefit.
