Chapter 27: Strange Sea
Noctis felt his body assaulted by the ice cold water as his body kept going down due to his inability to move his body in any directions.
Even his hands felt sluggish for some reason. The force against his body by the water made him feel as if he had landed in Mercury instead.
As his body kept going down he looked up at the bright point shining above the water.
The owl kept flapping her wings above the surface seemingly trying to get into the water but failing no matter how hard she tried.
The cold water quickly shocked his senses as his heart sped fast and hands and feet started going a little numb.
As minutes passed since his fall, Noctis felt himself getting disoriented as his consciousness started getting affected.
He knew as more and more time passed in the water, he would start getting affected by hyperthermia and eventually die. But no matter how hard he tried to access the energy it still was inaccessible to him.
Fortunately he had taken a breath and his superior physique allowed him some time underwater but if he didn’t get out soon, it too would start running out.
’Is this the end afterall?’
Just as despondency started knocking at his psyche, he suddenly noticed something above the water.
A little distance away from their position a large shadow the shape of an elliptical cloud moved making their way at the place of the bridge from where he had fallen off of.
