Infinite System Inheritor Return From The Abyss-Chapter 300 - 298: Humanoid underwater

Meanwhile, the party members were getting ready, preparing themselves for the monster hunt. They were busy gathering their tools and weapons when one of the members noticed something moving in the water. It wasn't a fish. His curiosity peaked, and he started walking closer to the water's edge.

Before he could investigate further, someone called out his name. He turned around and caught a tool thrown at him. It was a special device that would help them breathe underwater, perfect for the hunt.

"This should make it easier," the member said with a smile, feeling confident.

The party members strapped on the devices that would help them breathe underwater. They dove into the sea, the water cool against their skin.

As they descended deeper into the murky water, they expected to see the typical sea creatures—Mutated fish, crabs, or maybe even some kelp swaying with the current. But there was nothing. It was unnaturally quiet, and the absence of life made them uneasy. They could still talk clearly, thanks to the breathing devices, but their voices felt unnervingly loud against the heavy silence.

One of the party members, the one leading the way, looked around. "Where are the creatures?" he muttered, his voice echoing in the water. "This doesn't feel right..."

They swam further, the pressure of the deep water making everything feel suffocating. The silence pressed against their ears, and their anxiety grew.

Then, without warning, something moved in the distance—something fast. It darted past them like a shadow in the water. The movement was so quick and silent that the party could barely react. It left only a faint disturbance in the water, but it was enough to send a chill down their spines.

"Did you see that?" one of them whispered, his voice trembling slightly. But no one answered. They were all staring in the direction where it had disappeared, hearts pounding. There was no sign of it now.

The eerie silence continued, but the presence of something—someone—was definitely there.

Suddenly, a figure shot past them again, faster this time. It was humanoid in shape, a dark silhouette against the dim light of the ocean depths.

The party froze, terror gripping them as they realized what they were seeing. The creature wasn't just any sea monster—it looked human, with glowing eyes and sharp, menacing fins trailing down its body. It was like a twisted version of a mermaid, but far more terrifying.

"It's real..." one of the party members gasped, his voice shaky.

Before anyone could react, the figure vanished into the shadows of the deep, leaving only a trail of bubbles behind.

Then, a sudden movement—this time, much closer. The water around them rippled violently. One of the party members tried to turn, but something struck him from behind, pulling him under.

A scream—gurgled, muffled—sounded in their ears before it was cut off. Panic erupted in the group.

"What was that?! Where did he go?!" someone shouted, but their voices were drowned out by the rush of water.

The humanoid creature had returned, moving faster than they could react. It was like a predator toying with its prey, and they were the prey.

They kicked their legs furiously, trying to swim back to the surface, but the water around them seemed to pull them down. Every stroke they made felt like they were being dragged deeper into the abyss. Something was chasing them—something fast, too fast to escape. They could hear it now, the sound of the creature moving swiftly through the water, growing closer with every second.

One of the members screamed as something cold and slick brushed against his leg. His heart raced. He looked over his shoulder, only to see the glint of sharp fins in the murky water, moving with predatory precision.

"Swim! Faster!" someone shouted, panic thick in their voice, but the fear had taken hold of them all. Their limbs were sluggish, weighed down by the pressure of the water and the terror gnawing at them. They were trapped in the deep, with nowhere to go.

In their desperate scramble to get to the surface, they saw no sign of the shore. Only the dark, churning water surrounded them, and the creature continued to stalk them.

One of them screamed again, "Help! Someone, please help!"

The water around them grew darker, as if the sea itself was closing in on them. Their breaths were ragged, bubbles escaping from their mouths as they desperately tried to break free from the unseen predator that followed them.
