Chapter 97: Sonar Vision, Another Bout, Tehoms End (2/2)

...

The Kraken, who had been trying to get back at Quinn for waking him up, felt a little frustrated because of the black water. The black water didn't hinder It that much, but the Kraken was sure that this was why it wasn't able to catch the tiny human. Otherwise, it would have smacked the tiny human, pushed him around a little, before throwing him out of his home.

But then, the Kraken saw that the black water returned to normal. Finally, it was able to see the tiny human floating at a distance away, and he had his eyes closed.

The Kraken didn't think much of it and sent seven of its tentacles after the tiny human. But what the Kraken saw surprised it because the tiny human seemed to control water much better than before and even with its seven tentacles, the tiny human seemed relaxed as he dodged all of them.

Eight... Nine... Ten tentacles were sent after the tiny human, but the tiny human dodged every one of them without a problem. Even when it increased the speed, the tiny human continued to swim around its tentacle and refused to come into its grasp.

It was at that time that the Kraken's five hearts started to beat faster. It had been a while since the mighty beast of the water had felt this way.

Even though it liked to live harmoniously and spend its time in peace. The titanic creature was, as its name suggested, a Kraken. It was the legendary creature that was famous for sinking ships.

Now seeing something that it couldn't catch, the Kraken became excited, and the natural, primal instincts came up to the surface.

The Kraken wanted to go all out.

It wanted to face the challenge of the tiny human. No. The special human.

Yellow eyes shined with rigor, and the lake shook uncountable tall, massive tentacles fully came out and raised themselves. Fully showcasing the legitimate size of the titanic creature.

The grindylows all around scurried into their weed homes because of the tremors in the lake. The fishes panicked as they ran to find places to hide. In the distance, the merpeople in their village looked in the Kraken's direction with fear.

Quinn, who was now exclusively using the water sonar vision to perceive his surroundings, felt the tremors from the Kraken and had to adjust his magic to work in the great disturbance, and what Quinn saw shocked him.

Before, he had thought that the Kraken was already a giant. But now, with it standing tall with all of its tentacles out. Quinn finally understood that the creature in front of him was a titan on a different level.

It was so shocking that Quinn opened his eyes to actually see the Kraken, and he wasn't disappointed because the Kraken was absolutely massive.

Instead of feeling scared and regretful about his decision of provoking the Kraken, Quinn's heart pumped hard as an enthusiastic grin stretched on his face.

The water around Quinn erupted with energy as he laughed in the water and felt the rush of excitement.

He closed his eyes as waves of water restarted going out. The sonar vision returned as Quinn yelled, ”Yeah, come on!”

That day, the Great Lake's residents spent the day in anxiousness, as tentacles, masses of ice, and undulations of water shook the entire lake.

The day Quinn battled the Kraken while the legendary beast tried to catch him for over an hour was definitely one of the highlights of his year.

The progress he had made that day was so extensive that Quinn felt he hadn't learned something so quickly in his entire life. The only thing that he could compare it with was the month Quinn spent regaining his magic.

But right now, even that progress wasn't enough, as Quinn was struggling inside Tehom's Delight.

'The vibrations ain't returning,' sighed Quinn as he kept on sending more and more waves out.

The waters in Tehom's Delight were eerie still, and unlike the Great Lake, Quinn couldn't sense any ambient vibrations that weren't traced by him. The natural water vibrations gave Quinn a passive aquatic sensory vision, while his marked vibrations gave him the specifics and increased his perception to another level.

But there was nothing in Tehom's Delight. No vibrations at all, nothing that would give him any clue about his situation. Even the feedback vibrations that were caused by his water magic didn't return to him.

'I'm so lost,' murmured Quinn as he crossed his legs in lotus position and 'sat' down.

Quinn tried to swim in one direction to see if he could reach some kind of edge, but after spending a three-hour session swimming that way, Quinn ended up without finding any sort of edge or boundary.

'Hmm... maybe I should send out stronger waves,' theorized Quinn as he thought about how to clear this room. 'But how do I keep them stable. Stronger and larger waves collapse into themselves.'

Tehom's Delight made people clear their heads, let go of all thoughts and relax. And that was a feature of this trial that Quinn despised because of how it affected him.

But the same feature was great when one wanted to think about problems. If one could concentrate, then the no external stimulation environment heightened the ability to analyze and meditate upon problems.

And that showed, as Quinn arrived at a solution after thinking about the problem inside Tehom's Delight.

'I need to increase the wavelength and amplitude of my waves for extra stability. Yeah, what was it? Ah, yes, large-amplitude ocean waves with certain shapes can propagate unchanged.'

Quinn had read about ocean waves while he was studying water magic and, in there, it was written that certain oceanic waves could retain their shapes for a long time and travel enormous distances without losing their form.

Without getting up, Quinn regulated his water magic and created a wave of water with a large wavelength and amplitude so that the waves would have deep and long crests and troughs.

He sent multiple spherical waves at regular intervals for half a minute before kicking back and waiting for the feedback.

Quinn waited for a minute for the feedback and sighed in disappointment when nothing returned.

'I need to think something out. This isn't worki- !!!'

Quinn's thoughts were cut off when he felt a very faint of his magic returned as feedback and caused his eyes to widen like saucers.

'Holy shit, they came back!'

Every single wave he sent came back with a very faint feedback, but Quinn concentrated hard to catch all those faint signals.

Immediately afterward, Quinn used occlumency to increase his immersion in the memory and increased his connection with the memory. This was something Quinn did every time he thought something was very important that he needed to be at his fingertips.

After several minutes, Quinn was finally able to get the level of recall that he wanted on a few seconds of memories.

”I know what I want to do.”

Quinn took a big gulp of water for oxygen before extending both of his hands. Quinn readied the water magic and used his hands as sources of the waves. He started to send out simultaneous waves.

The two waves matched each other, creating a unified wave with the help of a nifty little concept known as constructive interference. The resulting waves were stronger than the individual ones and were much more stable.

After a while, feedback returned, relatively louder than before but still weaker than he would've liked.

'I found it! Yes, I found it!' celebrated Quinn, turning towards his back as that was the direction from where he sensed something. 'There is nothing in here, so that must be the exit!'

He kept on sending waves to get a continuous sense of the direction because Quinn was sure that Tehom's Delight messed up with his directional perception.

After swimming for a mere minute at full speed, Quinn arrived at the place, and now that he was so close to the anomaly he detected, things were much clearer. The sonar vision was showing him a clear triangular 'entrance.'

It wasn't a traditional entrance in the sense that there wasn't any door, doorframe, or anything that showed that it was an entrance of some sort.

Quinn's sonar vision, nonetheless, demonstrated there was a triangular spot of water reacting differently.

'No text of any kind,' noticed Quinn. He wondered whether to enter then or not.

After some thinking, Quinn decided to get in there and stepped into the triangular water. He immediately disappeared from Tehom's Delight, leaving behind a representation of ocean depths where no light ever reached.
