Chapter 74: Escape
"Oh, no... What... What should we do?" The courier’s face turned pale as he saw the number of giant eels increasing.
Realizing the danger, Nalira acted fast. She used her fire skill and unleashed a fierce blast of flames toward the approaching swarm. The fire roared through the air, and the eels recoiled, diving back beneath the surface to escape the heat.
"Mr. Courier, this is our chance. I will hold off these creatures as much as possible," Nalira turned to him, her voice sharp. "Hurry, turn on the ship’s engine right now and take Shaan to the room to—"
"No. Let me help you."
"Shaan? Are you sure you’re okay?"
"Yes, Nalira. I’m fine." Shaan stood up and pulled out his dual short swords. "You’re going to need help fighting all these giant eels. Hurry up, Mr. Courier, go to the control room."
"Alright. I’m counting on both of you."
The courier immediately ran as fast as he could to the ship’s control room, and just a few minutes later, the ship began to move. Good, at least their ship was moving and they would be safe for a while.
"Shaan, stay alert." Nalira scanned the murky swamp around them, her eyes sharp and focused. "I’m sure those monsters are still near—"
Another powerful crash shook the entire ship violently. The two of them rushed over to one side of the ship and discovered that a group of giant eels in the swamp was trying to destroy the ship.
"Damn it. We have to protect this ship before it’s destroyed," Shaan exclaimed in a panic. "Robin Hood, use the Phantom Snare to immobilize these creatures."
[Alright, Shaan. I’ll be happy to do it.]
