Chapter 853

Black underwater craft flew out of the water.

Tentacles wrapped around a fishing boat and dragged it under.

As the boat rolled onto its side, more tentacles plucked Ardelonians from the deck, hoisted them into the air, and crushed them before hurling their mangled bodies into the churning sea.

Screams rose above the crashing waves.

Several tentacles closed around a warship, wrenching it from side to side until its hull split apart.

Beneath the surface, red tentacles gripped the massive steel pilings, twisting and battering them.

Dozens of squid tore through the base like creatures unleashed from hell. The Ardelonians who terrorized so many survivors at sea were helpless against them.

Underwater craft crumpled and sank. Fishing boats overturned, and cargo ships were dragged from their moorings.

Even direct hits from machine guns did little against creatures this powerful. The bullets only enraged the squid, making their attacks even more vicious.

An enormous tentacle swept through the wooden buildings, shattering walls and sending screaming Ardelonians tumbling into the sea.

Nicole and Zeph didn’t retreat into the storage space. They stopped the yacht a safe distance away and quietly

admired the destruction.

The squid showed no interest in eating the Ardelonians’ mutated bodies. They simply lashed out at everything around them, tearing apart anything within reach. (2)

Blood spread through the waves, drawing schools of sharks. They swarmed the fallen Ardelonians, ripping into them with their powerful jaws.

Nicole stood on deck with her fingers intertwined with Zeph’s. Together, they watched the wooden buildings collapse and the base disappear beneath the water.

But the squid weren’t finished. Searching for something else to attack, they spotted the yacht in the distance.

They launched themselves toward it.

The base was destroyed, and the Ardelonians who plagued these waters were gone. Nicole was willing to take risks, but she knew better than to fight creatures they had no hope of beating.

She immediately pulled the yacht and everyone aboard into her storage space.

With their target gone, the airborne squid crashed back into the sea.

Outside, the water churned with blood and violence. Inside the storage space, everything was quiet.

Nicole opened the escape capsule and let Poppy and Cola out.

Cola rushed over, whining and pawing at Nicole.

“I’m alright,” she assured him, stroking him until he settled down.

Cola turned and pawed at Zeph, letting out a sharp bark.

Poppy tried not to laugh. “He was getting so worked up in there. He wanted to come out and help you fight.”

Since they began their life at sea, Cola hadn’t seen any action. All that pent-up energy left him restless, and he sometimes startled awake at night.

Nicole rubbed his head and led him off the yacht.

The moment his paws touched solid ground and he caught the scent of fresh grass, his restlessness vanished. He raced through the garden’s rich black soil without a care in the world.

After so long on the constantly shifting ocean, being on land was a relief for all of them.

Even Poppy, older now, ran after him like a little kid. “Cola, wait for me!”

While the two of them played in the garden, Nicole and Zeph went inside the villa.
