Devil of the Sea

After that episode.

The fog began to dissipate. I can see it more clearly now. From the cutting part, blood continuous flow. His one-eyed horse appeared enraged...

His colossal head was swaying from side to side as if about to topple. So, Nuckelavee, the monster's name, comes from the term "nuggle," which refers to any water spirit that takes the appearance of a horse. It's a spirit in the flesh that lives by the sea and is known as the "Devil of the Sea." He has the appearance of a horse with fin-like legs and a single gigantic eye that flames with a red flame. Like a bizarre monster, a person with a colossal head is integrated along the top of the horse's body. The fact that he has no skin is the most terrible aspect of his look. The pale sinews and muscular muscles are apparent as a throbbing mass, with black blood flowing through yellow veins.

"Max," as it abruptly yelled my name, the chop side slowly regained his hand form.

His hand took on a new shape. When I glanced at the horse, I noticed that black smoke was flowing out of his mouth. It appeared to be enraged. I think I made a terrible mistake. This bastard's weaknesses are rain, freshwater, and smoke from the burning of seaweed. My sword will not be effective against him. I gritted my teeth and gave him a haughty stare.

"Nuckelavee, it's better if you go," I urged. As soon as he heard me, he burst out laughing.

"Damn boy! You're making me laugh," he shouted. While speaking, he stretched his massive hand, and the sea stones trembled. The stone on which I was standing trembled as well. I stared at him after holding the stone. However, I noticed a large spear come into his hand from nowhere. That spear was crafted from a human skeleton.

"So, Max, do you suppose you've made up your mind to help those people?" asked the monster.

I rose and yelled at the top of my lungs, "Isn't it apparent to you?"

He added, with a smirk, "I'm not sure why you're so well known in our monster league. But I have a feeling that with my spear, I'll be able to slay you easily."

I drew my brows together and stared. I don't have any fresh water right now. So, how am I going to beat him? But in a split second, that jerk slammed against the stone. When I leaped off, I realized that the hard stone had shattered into a thousand pieces in an instant. Damn, it seems like I underestimated him. As I landed on the ground, I felt another attack from behind. I took another step back and shielded that strike with my sword. "Max, eventually you will help our lord. If not, your doom is imminent," that scoundrel whispered.

Dammit! I stared at his bloodshot eyes. There were no orbs in his eyes, and the fire was emanating from them. "If you cooperate with us, Maxi, we will dominate the world together. My Lord will not let you down," that knucklehead stated.

He's putting extra pressure on me right now. And I tightened my fists. I said, "I'm going to take your lord's head off his body and feed it to all creatures." He burst out laughing when he heard me. However, my chest began to ache suddenly. Something had a firm grip on my chest. My heart appeared to want to break through my flesh and flee.
