Will began moving again, quickly gaining speed. The over hundred kilometer distance disappeared in a few seconds.
The closer he got, the more gigantic the beast became. He felt like a speck of dust next to its enormous size.
Its long tentacles swiped at the surrounding pinkish water, pushing the creature forward, while examining the surroundings.
When approaching the beast, Will slowed down and began maneuvering around them. He didn't know what would've happened if he touched a tentacle, so evading them was the safest option.
He soon arrived near the ray's main body. It was very dark blue, almost black, with lots of small glowing white spots. The creature probably dwelled deeper, maybe in the Endless Abyss, since its skin would provide ample camouflage.
Will took a deep breath through his gills, then opened his first two maws. Henry and the others were inside his fourth, and each one had lips sealing them from water leakage.
