*Boom!*
The hit from the sea serpent threw off the three guards who were watching Jake's room.
It took them more than a minute to get up and recalibrate.
The moment they did that, the door of the room they were safeguarding opened and a rope whipped around one of the guards' neck.
The rope was yanked from the other side, dragging the guard inside the room.
*Ahh--!*
This put the other two guards on alert as they listened to the short-lived screams of their fellow guard.
Ignoring their fear, they walked into the room slowly.
Shouting, they taunted the person they were meant to prevent from escaping, "We know you are here!"
Due to the hit the ship received, the light crystals of the room were broken, which in turn made the room dark, only a bit lightened by light from the blue sea.
One of the guards brandished his sword and released a fire that illuminated the room, "I will say this the last time. We kno--."
