Chapter 115: Cruise Ship (13)
[Don’t be afraid, my child.]
Lamia gently embraced Everly, her long serpent tail softly brushing against the back of her hand in comfort.
It was a deeply familiar embrace—tinged with the salty, briny scent of the sea.
Everly’s nose stung, and tears once again welled up in her eyes.
But there was no time for her to cry.
Almost the moment Lamia appeared, the gigantic humanoid fish monster sensed the unusual presence of the siren. It raised one of its forelimbs and pointed straight at the embracing mother and daughter. Its mouth opened, and from deep within its chest came a roar like countless war drums beating in unison.
“ROAR!”
“ROAR! ROAR!”
The white monsters surrounding them received the command. Thousands of them surged up from the sea, echoing their master. They lifted their grotesque heads and unleashed wave after wave of deafening roars toward Everly and the siren.
