113 Battle of Blackwater (IV)

The situation changed quickly.

Panic began to take hold of them as the ship split in two. The deck floor became steep, and the people lost their balance. The water got higher while the ship was slowly sinking into the sea.

"Hurry up! Up!"

"Grab the lifeboat!"

"Damn it! How did it come to this!"

The awakeners left the fight, letting the tritons escape. Their lives took priority over drowning in the ocean.

Meanwhile, Olivia froze. Guilt gnawed at her for causing this situation. She didn't expect that a single slash would split the ship apart.

THUD!

Suddenly, the ship shook. Olivia lost her balance and fell into the steepness.

"Olivia!"

Michael managed to grab her hand in time before she fell into the water. Behind him was Akio, one hand holding onto the sword stuck on the floor while the other held onto Michael's armor to keep them both from falling.
