The mist released by the "Mist Silver Lamp" has dissipated, and the "Storm Horn" that narrowly escaped reappeared on the sea surface, although without losing any speed. Clearly, the sailors handling the ship have not yet recovered from the previous perilous situation.
Completely powerless to fight back!
This was one of the rare occasions since Aiven joined the navy where he was beaten so thoroughly, as previously, even when faced with invincible adversaries, there were always taller figures above him to take the hit, so he didn't feel it as acutely.
But this time, he was the captain who took the brunt of it! The highest officer of this ship!
No one else could share the burden with him anymore.
First inexplicably attacked, then narrowly escaping, Aiven frustratingly found that not only was he currently powerless to retaliate, but he didn't even stand a chance of avenging this grudge anytime soon.
