[Mental: 57]

[Will: 75]

Sylas' jaw clenched. Seeing this creature confirmed something that he had been thinking about for a long time. If stats were scaled based on human biology, then how much stronger were the real predators of Earth? What about the extinct predators of Earth? If he ran into a Blue Whale, what kind of Physical stats would it have just by virtue of its sheer size?

A Sperm whale wasn't nearly as large as a Blue Whale, and yet just staring at these stats...

A true monster.

Sylas forced his heart to remain calm. He had to control himself even more in this situation because he was in another creature's territory and oxygen wouldn't come easy in this situation. Wasting what stores he had would be inadvisable. This whale also wouldn't necessarily attack him.

The head of the sperm whale was enormous, and its eyes...

DOOM.

Sylas heard the sound first and saw the streaks of water second. The sperm whale suddenly whipped its tail, leaving an echoing hum through the water before appearing before him in a flash. Weren't whales supposed to be docile creatures?

This was the only thought Sylas had time for before he was forced to cross his arms and block. As powerful as the whale's Physical was, it too was marred by the water. Its effectiveness was definitely not as high as its stats would suggest. However, none of that would matter if those teeth sank into him.

Sylas didn't know much about whales. He was under the impression that they were all docile creatures and herbivores to boot. What he didn't know was that the sperm whale ate sharks for lunch and happened to be the largest toothed predator in the world. It could only be said that he was truly unlucky, but his reactions weren't slow.

He formed a <Solidify> beneath his feet and pressed off of it hard. He pushed himself up and managed to dodge the open maw of the sperm whale, but in return, he was hit with the force of a battering ram. His body shook and trembled beneath the might and his bones felt like they would shatter at any moment. Had they been on land, this blow would have certainly done at least that, if not much more. This creature weighed tens of thousands of kilograms, and for some reason, it wanted to use his body as a toothpick.

The storm had already made Sylas feel so insignificant and small, but this whale... It was like the period at the end of the paragraph, the last word at the end of a story. This was the gap between humans and the true predators of Earth. He had just been thinking today how far he had come, only to be smacked right back down to Earth hours later.

However, it was in that darkness that Sylas' green eyes blazed. The stormy, turbulent waters seemed to be the only points of light. The angle of the sperm whale's headbutt sent him flying upward on an incline, just like he had calculated. He borrowed the momentum and soared up higher through the waters, instantly appearing meters from the surface.
