Nile lunged, his staff at the ready, intent on piercing it through the temporarily defenseless sea monster,
His body cut through the water at blinding speed, as he thrust his spear forwards,
However just at that very moment, one of the sea monster's tentacles regenerated.
Nile prepared himself to block against the incoming attack but it was only then he noticed the tentacle was not heading for him but in an entirely different direction.
"Kristen!" Nile exclaimed,
Nile's eyes widened as he stopped himself at the very last moment and turned to see that the tentacle was indeed headed for the defenseless merman leaned against the cave wall.
Nile's heart sank as terror gripped him and he tossed aside all caution, dashing towards the merman.
Nile shot through the water, arriving just in time to place his body over Kristen's as the tentacle slammed forcefully into his back, his sea pod shattering.
