The last stretch between Light Cay and Amae proved to be the most intense and dangerous part of Nan's group's entire journey.
Even the violent Fury of the Stars storm hadn't brought them as close to disaster as the late 8th stage beast that attacked them at the fish men's command.
After their brutal fight against Vicente's summoned creatures, the sea serpent continued its pursuit for hours, launching long-range attacks and wounding the Grand Magus, who protected their ship during this final approach to Amae's territorial waters.
But Vicente had succeeded in consuming the serpent's powers, weakening it and wounding it to the point that the creature's movements were not so decisive against the mere newly promoted Grand Magus of their crew.
Surely, those injured in this escape would need some rest and resources to recover. But they were not seriously affected, and no one died before the enemy deliberately gave up the hunt.
