Chapter 324: Battle For The Ocean
Kyle’s eyes narrowed, his gaze locked onto Kalthok as he raised his hand, ready to defend himself and his friends. "What do you want?" he asked, his voice firm.
Kalthok chuckled, the sound echoing through the warehouse. "Ah, I see. You think I’m a threat, don’t you?" it said, its voice dripping with amusement. "I’m afraid I’m just a decoy, a distraction to draw attention away from the real target."
Aria’s eyes narrowed, her gaze scanning the area. "What real target?" she asked, her voice suspicious.
Kalthok’s grin grew wider, its glowing red eyes flashing with excitement. "Why, the Heart of the Abyss, of course," it said, its voice dripping with malice. "The Order wants it, and they’re willing to do whatever it takes to get it."
The group’s eyes locked onto each other, a mix of concern and determination on their faces. Kyle’s mind was racing with possibilities. "We need to get back to the safe house," he said, his voice firm. "If the Order is going after the Heart, Elara and Kael are in danger."
The group nodded, their eyes locked onto Kalthok as they prepared to leave. Lucias and Yua moved to flank the creature, their eyes scanning the area for any signs of danger.
Kalthok laughed again, its eyes flashing with amusement. "You won’t make it in time," it said, its voice dripping with malice.
With a nod, Kyle led the group out of the warehouse, leaving Kalthok behind. They knew they had to move fast if they wanted to save Elara and Kael.
The city’s streets were quiet as they made their way back to the safe house, their senses on high alert. The group’s faces were set with determination as they sprinted through the city’s dark alleys, their footsteps echoing off the walls.
As they turned a corner, the safe house came into view. Kyle’s eyes scanned the area, his heart sinking as he spotted Order members swarming around the building. "No way," Aria breathed, her eyes wide with concern.
