One strike wasn't enough, so she followed it with three more in quick succession—CRACK, CRACK, CRACK! The thick ice surface completely shattered into smithereens.
Faye Yardley slipped right through the opening with the shattered ice, entering the seawater below.
The moment she hit the water, she was under attack. A massive, cyan-gray figure charged straight toward her.
Without even trying to dodge, Faye Yardley's Dragon Coiling Stick transformed into Light Wound, and she slashed directly at the charging shadow.
As the blade of Light Wound sank into something resilient, an immense force traveled up the weapon and slammed into her.
As the impact knocked Faye Yardley backward, she changed her slash into a thrust. Scarlet blood gushed from the massive, cyan-gray figure.
Surprisingly, the blood didn't have a foul, fishy stench. Instead, it gave off an alluringly sweet fragrance.
