The big guy struggled with his breaststroke, completely unaware that Da Dou had been attacked.
He was hell-bent on getting back to Snowbird Port, but he hadn't considered what the right direction was.
His swimming skills were clearly lacking, too, with an unsteady breathing rhythm, often swallowing water.
However, to be fair, given the big guy's intelligence, it was pretty impressive that he could swim at all.
Who knows how much effort and time the old shipwright had spent teaching him.
Spatial fluctuations occurred once more.

Da Dou let out a low growl, looking towards the big guy.
Behind him, a Flame Emblem suddenly ignited, bursting into fierce flames.
The seawater did nothing to extinguish the scorching fire.
Soon, the big guy was engulfed in flames, his consciousness slipping into a blur.
