"ROAR!"
A deep, distant roar came from the center of the lake.
The Eternal Giant Turtle's island-sized head turned toward Raylo. Deep within its nebula-like eyes, the reflection of him holding the Head of the Demon Serpent was mirrored.
Sun landed beside Raylo.
A moment later, Sun turned its head and spoke to Raylo.
"It is warning you, Raylo."
Sun's voice was like a great bell.
"Though the will of the Nine-headed Demon Serpent within the Head of the Demon Serpent is temporarily suppressed, it has not dissipated. It is like a potent poison lurking in the deep sea, constantly trying to corrupt your mind. Be careful not to become a slave to this Catastrophe Weapon, reduced to a monster that knows only slaughter."
Raylo looked down at the serpent's head in his hand, which had now grown calm.
Its pale, cold touch still seemed to carry the lingering might of the world-destroying power it had just unleashed.
