The group ultimately reached an island just before the world's end after several more hours of sailing.
Where in the world is this? Riki queried.
This is Hive. Jake rubbed his head as he read this.
When the mist lifted, they were going to move forward when, all of a sudden, the woman from before materialized, towering above them.
"Got you!" she said with a laugh.
Oh! You again? Jun remarked irritably, rolling his eyes.
Yes, and I brought my sisters along this time, as shadows and footfall could be heard approaching.
Oh! Who are you?
We're the Muses, and you've got something we want.
The Muses are the siblings of scavenging hunters from the Gihayfhe Kingdom. Jake read his book and realized they are brutal assassins.
That's correct—one person spoke.
We have nothing that you are seeking.
Yes, you do, indeed!
One of the muses said, "Jihyo, finish this already. I'm tired and sleepy."
Sure, dear!
The woman was poised to break half of the cliff with her next scream, stronger than the last.
Dust covered everything. She was startled to discover that no one had been harmed after the dust had settled.
Impossible! She let out a gasp.
One of the muses exclaimed, "That's impossible; someone has deflected your magic."
The other said, 'Now this is fun.
Jihyo screamed and leaped off the cliff in frustration, but Soobin counterattacked this time, stopping time, and Jay shot her off.
When time reverted, Jihyo was astounded.
Sister! One of the muses gasped and hurried to her side.
Are you all right? She enquired.
Mi-Mina, I- and she passed out.
You will pay for this, then she begins to glow.
Everyone, be careful; she's dangerous.
Create! The earth began to tremble as she shouted, and rocks began to fall and form into a gigantic behemoth.
Duck! Wonwoo exclaimed as he deflected the strong swing.
Hah! Sunghoon dashed forward and immobilized the behemoth as Jay crushed it into dust.
Why you... Enraged, Mina summoned another—ten this time.
One by one, the warriors defeated them with ease.
Is that all you have? Jungwon spoke.
Jay used magic to blast Mina off just as she was ready to attack.
A tremendous detonation nearly destroyed the cliff's edge, and as the haze and dust dissipated, it became apparent that Mina was assisted by one of the Muses.
Oh! What happened? The warriors gasped.
Nayeon! Mina cheered.
I'll take over from here, sister!
