I, The Dragon Overlord Chapter 54 - Great Old One!

Louie had only hesitated for a second before heading towards the two destroyers.

That minuscule delay was because he was unsure if their sonar systems would detect him when he swam over.

“Zoom in on the image,” the captain ordered.

On a huge screen inside the ship, an image of the blurred space was magnified several times. The spectators could make out the distorted figure of the octopoid entity within the chaos.

Despite being heavily blurred and pixelated, the ships’ crews nonetheless felt a powerful terror arise within their hearts. It was as though the mere sight of the monster could chill their bones.
