In the days that followed, the residents of Hamlet Fishing Village watched, with feelings bordering on intertwined awe and fear, as the being named "Aaron" revealed another kind of "terror" beneath his calm exterior.
Boer devoted his energy almost obsessively to two things: eating and conversion.
The coastline became his private hunting ground. Like the keenest sonar, Electromagnetic Extrasensory Perception pierced the blue seawater, locking onto the enormous Sea Kings lurking offshore, their life energy surging. He no longer needed to create a bloody "fountain" as he had the first time. His methods became efficient and ruthless.

The next moment, a tremendous splash would erupt far out at sea, and a ferocious sea beast, dozens or even over a hundred meters long and varying in shape, would be hauled onto the beach as though caught by an invisible giant hook, struggling yet powerless to resist. The invisible force field formed by his magnetic field instantly compressed and restrained it, precisely destroying its nerve center. Then came devouring.
The way he fed was less "eating" than an efficient process of "energy extraction." Finely divided by magnetic force, rich in the essence of life, it flowed into his mouth as though borne by invisible hands.
