Cool Down

The earlier platform of gold erected by the Ardent Curses was promptly dispelled, and afterwards Replicus and his crew were sailing in their ship once again, the spikes behind it igniting furiously, mirroring the team's intent to catch up to the others.

Replicus made it a point to tell Pherdanta who was controlling the ship to have it barrel ahead at full speed while keeping sufficient distance between himself and the Bishop who trailed behind.

Using a few skills to boost the vessel's speed, what Replicus wanted was manageable. The ship crossed a massive distance in the ten minutes that followed, even with the return of the poisonous sea, the Reverse Clusters and the Scorching Tears.

Pherdanta steered perfectly.

Unfortunately, there was no sign of the other Factions yet and there wouldn't be for a while.
