Second Round

Six days passed.

'This is bad. This is bad.'

The crew had been sailing toward their next destination for about a week now. And the situation just kept turning worse by the day.

At some point, Corrupted appeared in greater numbers, their power turned stronger and they posed greater trouble to the crew.

A brief sense of peace that was in the atmosphere for the first day disappeared just like that.

As if waiting for it to happen, their ship began showing signs of malfunctioning as well, exactly like what Bryan speculated.

Ever since the start of the sixth or seventh day, the engine started having issues that made it suddenly weaken without any warning before it returned to normal once again.

The amount of time Bryans had to stay in the engine room to keep things running smoothly also drastically increased.
