With a swift motion, Alex stretched out his hand and used the newest power he'd earned from defeating the Monkey Shaman: [Black Flames].
A dark, swirling energy formed in his palm before erupting into a torrent of pitch-black fire.
Even underwater, the flames roared to life.
They weren't ordinary flames—these burned with an otherworldly intensity, defying the very nature of water.
The Kraken's slimy body ignited on contact, the black fire clinging to its skin like a parasite.
"SKREEEEUUUNNGGGH!"
The creature thrashed violently, its agonized screams reverberating through the water.
Its massive body twisted and turned, churning up the sea as the black flames consumed it.
Alex floated there, catching his breath as he watched the once-terrifying beast writhe in pain.
But from the corner of his eye, Alex noticed a shadow moving through the water.
His heart sank as the shape grew larger and larger.
