Slaying the Serpent
Aiden continued to wrap his Destiny Thread around the Sea Serpent, but the creature's violent thrashing made it extremely difficult to maintain control.
Thud!
He was suddenly thrown back into a crack in the seabed, but he pushed himself out and rushed toward the serpent once more. The serpent's eyes glowed ominously as it locked onto the incoming Aiden, then it roared—a deep, bone-chilling sound. But this roar wasn't just a warning; it was accompanied by millions of water needles, each the size of a spear, shooting toward him at incredible speed.
Aiden's eyes widened in alarm as he saw the oncoming barrage. "Does he want to pierce me to oblivion?" he mumbled under his breath. Without hesitation, he waved his Destiny Thread forward, creating numerous shields made out of the shimmering threads.
"Absolute Destiny," Aiden murmured, and the threads began to shine with a bright, almost blinding light.
