Gradually, Orion lost track of time as the Reverse Whale ceased its charge.
He exerted force, pulling the Lord's Stone from the whale's head.
As he collected the stone, his eyes gleamed with surprise—the kill had dropped a survivor's chest.
Picking up the chest, Orion stamped the ground, allowing the Reverse Whale to sink to the ocean floor.
Quickly, he swam upward toward the surface.
With a splash of water, lightning flashed, and Orion surged out of the water, floating in mid-air.
Looking down, he saw nothing but the vast expanse of ocean. Whitecliff and the land were nowhere in sight.
Uncertain where the Reverse Whale had taken him, Orion decided to rise higher, searching for the direction of the mainland.
Howl!
Suddenly, a massive, abyss-like maw emerged from the waters below him, aiming to swallow Orion whole.
With a rumble, Orion transformed into lightning and narrowly dodged the ambush.
