Reinforcement has Arrived

Through the bitter end, Athan and Sylvester, alongside the remaining militia, fought hard enough to remove enemies for as long as they lived.

They were already in an uphill battle, both literally and metaphorically.

Until a miracle came.

So many of them started to chase at Athan, but then they all halted when they noticed the towering waters swallowed the hills and mountains in one move.

Not wanting to chase him down, they ought to retreat but the rushing tides coursed faster, not even the flying beasts got spared with the flight they had.

But then, the voice rang suddenly, perking his ear, only to find out amidst the depths of the rich hue of the water, a colossal silhouette— a long, sea serpent with a  myriad of fins on its body— emerged from it.

'Wh— What is that?!'

Even from afar, Athan had enough shudders from its lone presence, but he gulped hard as he braced himself from the impact that awaited him.
