While Daimon and the Risha sisters were resting inside the cave to protect themselves from the storm, at another part of the sea where it was barely getting clouded, there were two ships facing each other.
The sounds of cannons roaring echoed through the sky from time to time, but the ship to which they were shot at wasn't affected at all.
Every time a cannon ball was about to hit the ship, a figure stood on its way and punched it changing its direction.
"Ah, damn it, these bastards aren't running out of those things", said the figure as it waved his hand.
"This sea is rich in minerals; how do you expect a metal element mage to run out of ammo".
A second figure appeared near the first one and threw a knife at another cannon ball making it explode midair.
"Boom!", the ship which was shooting its cannons, suddenly rumbled before vines appeared from within it, the desk split apart and screams in a strange language could be heard coming from the ship as it sank.
"Watch out, the three limbed one is about to go crazy!".
A woman's voice warned the others, a pilar of steam raised of the sea before a creature with two arms and one leg came out of the water completely clad in green flames.
"I curse you to… aghrrrr!".
As the three limbed creature was about to burn its life to destroy the remaining ship, it was hit by two-meter sphere of light-yellow light.
The creature tried to fight stimulating its green flames, but for some reason it couldn't and was then consumed by the light sphere turning into a black skeleton before falling to the water and dissolving into nothing a couple of seconds later.
The remaining ship then started advancing towards the northeast, leaving behind a new ship graveyard of about six ships which sank.
"Damn, as expected of Daimon he was one step ahead of these fuckers", said Calvin as he left his body fell on the deck.
Loren and Haylee who came out of the captain's cabin, approached Calvin and Michael and carefully inspected their wounds to see if there was any infection, before Loren used a healing spell on them just in case.
They were lucky enough to land in islands with less than one kilometer of distance between each other, Calvin fought against one of the creatures which was eating some unfortunate undead bastard.
And he ended somehow sinking the island, which drew the attention of Michael they joined hands and forced a three limbed creature to abandon its ship and stole it.
Although the ship was damaged in the process, they picked up Haylee and Loren not too long after and Haylee used her wood affinity to repair it.
Unfortunately, the three limbed creature returned with reinforcements and they were chased during the last two weeks, on the other hand Loren finally reached a decent mastery of the spell Daimon handed her and then the tables turned around.
Calvin looked at his knuckles where his armor had become brittle, he peeled the first three layers of it before pouring all his mana to replace them.
"Even their cannons had that annoying decay magic".
"Don't complain, I have used almost all my daggers already", Michael who was drinking a mana recovery potion, looked at his belt where there were only about six daggers left and sighed.
A few minutes before the last enemy ship was destroyed, two of the three limbed creatures teamed up against Michael, while other two kept Calvin busy, he was able to dodge the attacks of the first one, but the second one managed to bypass his defenses.
The talisman activated and since the creatures were suddenly stopped in cold, both of them were hit by Loren's attack, at the same time Haylee sank their ships and the battle became way easier.
Also, thanks to that, Michael now had an approximate idea of Daimon's current location, soon they reached an area which was heavily clouded so they entered the captain's cabin and the ship then dived into the water, leaving no trace of its existence behind.
…
Further away from their position at the north, the sea was completely different to what Daimon and the others had seen so far, the water was pitch black and there was an eerie mist blocking the vision.
A three-meter red bat floated five meters above the black sea, a silver haired girl with amethyst eyes stood on top of it, lightning crackled on her pretty hands from time to time.
She looked at the sea with disdain and suddenly tapped her left foot, and the bat dodged a bone spear coming from underwater.
"Humph", Aisha snorted, with a wave of her hand she created a metal spear and let it fall on the water.
"Tribulation", Aisha elegantly made a gesture and a lightning fell from the sky, directly on the metal spear, currents of electricity spread all over an area of about three kilometers making the water boil.
Not even a second later a splash gave away the position of the one responsible of the bone spear, a gray skin toned guy with a number "3" tattooed on his chest which was now exposed due to his armor having melted.
"You bit…", the gray skinned guy suddenly stopped in cold in the air, blood exploded out of his mouth, he looked downwards just to see two lines of silver light piercing his chest and the area below the left lung.
The blood bat descended and grabbed the gray skinned guy who used to be a pillar of the demon race with its claws, little needles coming from the soles of its feet pierced the skin and a second later, the demon had turned into a sack of bones which was then thrown into the sea.
Aisha suddenly looked at the southeast, her eyes sparkled for a split of a second, although she wasn't sure, her mother instincts told her to go that way.
She frowned, the blood bat moved on its own avoiding a black sword and a black flame spear.
The mist was parted by a ship appearing from below the water, unlike the ones Daimon and the others had seen, this one wasn't made out of wood, but of bones.
And that wasn't all, besides the creatures there were a couple of students from the demon race were leading them, but they looked strange.
Instead of eyes, they had green flames burning in their eye sockets, also they had extra arms and legs conformed by only bones coming out of their normal limbs.
One of them who had the number "8" tattooed on his left shoulder, walked out of the rest and opened his mouth to speak, but it was just a feint.
Aisha jumped out of the blood bat and punched the air where the demon appeared just in time, to use his own fist to attack her.
"Clang!", the sounds of metal colliding echoed through the sky as Aisha's pretty hand clad in silver metal clashed with the bone armored fist of the demon, none of them stepped back due to the impact, but streams of black smoke leaked out of the demon's hand and his face twisted in pain which forced him to retreat.
Aisha snorted, as the layer of mithril she used to clad her hand changed its shape back to a bracelet her son gave her for one of her birthdays.
The demon landed on the ship and after using green flames to suffocate the cleansing effect of the mithril, he opened its mouth.
After a couple of seconds in which the words coming out consisted on screeches and strange sounds, the words became understandable.
"Arcanist woman, join me…", said the demon as he licked his lips.
"BOOOOM!", with the ship as the center a fifty meters diameter sphere of silver light exploded, causing streams of steam to completely cover the area.
The steam was blown away by a large quantity of green flames, revealing the tragic scene of what was left of the ship, just some pieces of black bones ones belonging to the ship and others which were the leftover of the creatures.
The only one who survived was the demon with the number "8", but half of his body's flesh was burned away in that explosion, revealing a creature which only had a head buried inside the chest of the demon, the rest of its body was a skeleton whose arms and legs were destroyed a moment ago.
It was similar to the one Daimon killed in the black stone hall, but this one had no feet or hands and was only a head.
"Arcanist!", green flames exploded all over the sky as the demon shouted, but suddenly everything returned to normal, the flames dispersed, the demon's head turned around just to see Aisha using her sword to pierce the nape of the creature's head from behind.
"Who…aghhhr!", the creature managed to speak one last time, before Aisha channeled her lightning through her sword, burning the demon and the creature at the same time, until there was nothing left.
Aisha gave the corpse a cold gaze before she sat down on the blood bat, which was trembling a bit due to its owner's current bad mood.
'Delaying my desired reunion with my darling, learn your place', thought Aisha as she tapped the head of the blood bat.
"Let's go little red, to the southeast as fast as you can".
The blood bat nodded and it became a red flash of light which shoot itself towards the southeast.
Once Aisha was gone, bubbles appeared on the black water and a swirl swallowed the rests of the ship, leaving no traces of its existence behind.
The mist covered the area once again as if nothing happened.
