Atlas burned through the last of his mana to summon Theo. The creature swooped through the portal with a rush of air, its talons closing around his shoulder. With a yank, it lifted him high into the sky just as the colossal sea monster lunged out of the water.
As they got away from the thing, he dismissed the Death Serpent, leaving the enraged creature to thrash uselessly below. Atlas watched as the Mireclaw Crocodile lunged out of the water, but Theo sped up and shot into the sky.
'I'm so lucky I have a flying monster to escape,' he thought.
Following that, he ordered the monster to fly toward a few miles away land. Atlas then sat down, holding on to Theo and soaring above the rough ocean. He turned around and spotted the ship he was on heading toward land but further north.
