"Hiss…"
Watching the stars fall like rain before him, Luden drew a sharp breath. He could guess that the person who acted must be the Miss Cleric from the Legendary Domain he had once met. Although Luden knew she was formidable back then, only after witnessing the power of the stars did he realize how lucky he had been to escape from her clutches… If hit by that thing, he feared not even an intact corpse would be left.
"Very good, very interesting!"
At that moment, the voice sounded again, accompanied by footsteps, and a man in a Fanriel Navy uniform strode to the bow of the ship. He appeared to be in his forties or fifties, draped in a white coat, his gaunt face looking eerily wolfish. The man had a pipe clenched in his mouth and his right hand resting on the hilt of his longsword.
"Hey, girl."
His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone present.
