As the crews traveling towards Verglas Peak, they run into a river:
- Oh, look over there! Its a stream! - Says Nozomi
- Perfect! We can stock up on water, as long as its safe to drink. - Says Janpure
- Yeah, if this map is correct, this stream leads to a lake that seperates us from Verglas Peak. If we wanna get to it were gonna have to cross the lake. - Explains Inkuto
- Oh, then lets follow this stream. - Says Asa
They follow the stream until they reach the lake, where they spot a dock with a few people on it:
- Hey, i see a dock over there! - Says Janpure
- Yeah i see it too, we should go to it and get a caravel so we can cross this lake. Its easier than walking around it. - Explains Inkuto
They head to the dock, where they find an old fisherman who explains:
- Dont enter this lake! Its filled with creatures that no man can defeat!
- Woah, calm down old man. What do you mean by creatures? - Asks Asa
- This, and a couple other lakes around the area are filled with dangerous sea snakes named Petrifiends. - Explains the fisherman
- Oh, ive read about those in this book about special creatures in our world. Its the same one that explains what Runemal's are. - Says Inkuto
- Hmm, Okay then, lets head for Verglas Peak! Get us a caravel old man. - Says Nozomi
- .. Okay, but dont go blaming me in the afterlife if you die a horrible death. - Says the fisherman
They hop on the boat, and start sailing towards Verglas Peak.
- I cant believe were doing this, im so scared. What if the Petrifiend decides it doesnt like us and eats both us and our ship in one big bite. - Says Inkuto
Suddenly, they hear a loud noise behind them.
- AAH! ITS A PETRIFIEND, WERE GONNA DIE! - Yells Inkuto
- Calm down, its just the old guy. - Says Nozomi
- See ya later! Dont die! - The old fisherman yells
They wave and continue sailing towards Verglas Peak:
- I get really motion sick when im on a ship or any type of vehicle, but i enjoy ships more because they remind me of my favorite TV show One Piece. - Says Janpure
- Oh, you like One Piece? So do i, the characters are all really strong, but i could probably beat them. - Says Asa
- Im sure you could, with that powerful sword of yours. - Says Janpure
- Excalibur is the mightiest sword of all! - Yells Asa
- Yeah we get it, now please be quieter, if your any louder a Petrifiend might co-
Suddenly a massive Petrifiend appears, and Asa locks eyes with it.
- Woah, thats big. - Says Asa
- NO, ITS A PETRIFIEND, WERE ALL DOOMED! - Yells Inkuto
- Dont worry, ill kill it with one fell swoop. HELL DART! - Yells Nozomi, as she strikes the Petrifiend with amazing force. It seems to have been hurt, but its not giving up yet:
- Oh no! My Hell Dart didnt work! - Says Nozomi in shock
- Heh, with large enemies its different, brute force might be a very good option, but its not well suited to take on something that can take hits with no problem. When killing a huge monster you want to be quick, and slice its head off as fast as possible. - Says Asa
Asa gets in a fighting stance, and prepares to attack the beast:
- My strength isnt enough, oh, mighty Excalibur, lend me your strength. Together we shall slay this fiend with one strike. Vein 3, HAGESHĪ-GASSHU!!
With astonishing power, he slashes his sword sideways, creating a massive horizontal golden slash, immediately slicing the monster in two and killing it:
- Excalibur, i thank you for lending me your strength. - Asa thanks Excalibur with joy
- ... - Janpure, Inkuto and Nozomi's blank faces stay until they reach the end of the lake.
- Here we are, get up guys its time to go on a hike! - Says Asa
- Yes, sir Asa. - Say the three petrified.
