Transcendence Volume 1

Hanamiya

[Hrozun 34, 0100 A.R., Ventrion]

[Caligian Shallows, Merchant's Republic of Lathavien]

[Tritoth]

Shinn wasn't sure what was worse, the fact that now he and the remaining surviving members of Yi's Crew as they fended off an entire family of Sea Serpents or the fact that they were being boarded by dozens of Sionmunths. Either way, he is royally screwed.

With his [Tranquility] still active he ran through the remains of the slowly sinking [Ching Shin's Determination] and proceded to continue to cut down more Sionmunths. When Yi had informed him that the Caligian Shallows were responsible for the massive loss of Trading Ships that was to send goods from the other islands of Tritoth he suspected something akin into a Bermuda Triangle incident but instead he found himself dealing with a monster infestation with the members of [Autumn Storm].

It was not common within Zerundus to have their share of Monster Infestations. He even read that in Shivangard it took a combined efforts or it's local government and a local guild to take out a Wight Infestation in the Former Regional Capital. Hell, his first days as Shinn Vesna started with a Mission to deal with a Monster infestation for God's sake.

"You don't mind if I light it up," Shinn said as he nodded towards Flameclaw.

"Don't!" TurtleWarship told him. "You'll burn what's left of the ship to cinders."

"If you can, just aim at those overgrown manyu*," Yi said as she assisted the rest of her crew as they fired arrows at the Sea Serpents.

*(Translated from Chinese: Eels)

"Just be sure not to burn what's left of the Ship!" TurtleWarship shouted as he aimed his arrow and shot a Sea Serpent in the eye earning a pained cry as he spews streams of hot scalding poison at an unfortunate Marked One as the Shock instantly killed her.

"Noted," Shinn said as he bisected another Sionmunth with a nod. He then pivoted and aimed Flameclaw at the same Sea Serpent.

"Fire," Shinn muttered he felt Flameclaw briefly let out a humming noise as if responding to his command.

Upon immediate response the tip of Flameclaw released a stream of Bright Orange fire from it and immediately hit the Sea Serpent, it let out a pained cry as it countered it with a stream of hot poison that immediately overpowered the fire that Flameclaw received. But as he braced for the death via burning poison nothing came, he found himself staring at a [Mirror Boundary] that appeared before him.

"I let you run off for one minute and look what happens."

Shinn stared at the Foxtail standing before him, she gave him an irritated look as she warped the Mirror Boundary into a sphere and threw it at the same Sea Serpent as it let out one more pained cry and hit the water with a satisfying splash.

"You're late," Shinn remarked, Hanamiya simply rolled her eyes and slammed her palm on the ground as several Mandalas appeared below Shinn and Yi's remaining crew.

"[Collosi Armor]," She said as Shinn and the rest received an increase in Physical Defense.

"Are you the Magi that was to assist us?" Yi asked as she swung her twin sabers and cut down more Sionmunths.

"That would be me," Reina said as she rode atop Altasia as she released spheres of Magic from her mouth and blasted several Sea Serpents. "What's going on?"

"This monster infestation is getting out of hand," Yi shouted as she ran up towards a Sea Serpent, she pumped Ki into her legs and leaped up in the air and began to spin and cut at the back of the Serpent and bisected it causing its blood to rain down on them.
