Deep beneath the surface, there were fish—far more than he'd expected. They swarmed aggressively, clashing with the construct Cheon Areum had shaped from his energy, driving it away as if defending their territory. Strangely enough, they weren't monsters he needed to eliminate to clear the dungeon.
Which made things… personal.
"I'm going to fish every single one of you up. I'll cook you. And I'll eat you."
Cheon Areum declared war on them solemnly, glaring down at the glassy lake. He adjusted his stance at the water's edge and reshaped his energy construct, compressing it down until it formed a small, harmless-looking sphere—a perfect lure. Letting it hover just beneath the surface, he waited patiently for the fish to bite—fully committed to the act.
