"But my lord!"
"It's fine, Alex. A true knight would not go back on his word but we can rest on the Ten Monument Island, right?"
Eder chuckled softly. Hearing this, other knights dropped their hostility but Jed's fury rose. "Sir Eder, you're clearly in no state to move for the next few days! Why—!"
Screee!
A piercing scream tore through the air as a massive whirlpool formed beneath the ship. Tentacles burst out of the water, wrapping around the ship's hull as the Kraken emerged from the water, more furious than ever, its grotesque form looming right next to the deck.
"My God…" Merari stammered, paralyzed by the sight of the gigantic beast so close.
The ship groaned under the immense pressure of the tentacles. In no time, the ship would be destroyed and they would have nothing to sail the water. This meant nothing more than death!
