With the appearance of the Devil Fish, the people who were trying to repair the damaged parts of the half-destroyed ship were paralyzed. Their expressions darkened completely, as if hope itself had collapsed in an instant.
"Oh, shit..." one of them exclaimed, his voice breaking.
The roar of the river accompanied the creature's arrival. Before the Devil Fish could lunge at the deck, Audrey reacted quickly. Her hand shot up, and several aura slashes emerged from her body, each taking the form of blood lions. The crimson beasts roared in unison and charged at the creature.
Boom!
A loud crash shook the air as the aura lions slammed into the monstrous body. The impact released a gust of wind that tore off splinters, nails, and loose pieces of wood, sending them flying in all directions.
However, when the haze of impact cleared, the reality became clear. Audrey's attack had barely left a superficial cut on the savage beast.
