Trouble in Space (3)

Each wave of the energy blade managed to scrape off a large chunk of the jellyfish's body. However, compared to its large bulk, it was comparable to a small scratch. Still, slowly, we were going deeper and deeper under the jellyfish's head.

"Fang, can you still hold on?!"

I couldn't spare a moment to look behind, so I just asked her through the Mental Scape. A short pause later, her voice echoed through the link.

"(I'm still fine, Leader. The deeper we go, the fewer the attacks that reach us, so it's becoming easier if anything!)"

Although her reply was positive, I could feel the large amounts of energy she was expending. Despite saying that it was getting better, the intensity of the jellyfish's attacks was something else. It feels like a small mistake on her part could lead to either or both of us getting injured.

"I'll increase the pace!"
