Swoosh—Swoosh—
The waves kept churning, and beside the Sea Swallow, on the dark sea surface, dark monsters had somehow appeared, cruising continuously.
These monsters had a mud-like texture and humanoid shapes. Each head was different: some were round, some triangular, but all featured a pair of crimson eyes and lacked other facial features.
Their sizes varied too; the recently larger sound had been caused by a monster on the right side, about two and a half meters tall.
At the moment, that black monster continued attacking the Sea Swallow, causing ripples across the vessel's semi-transparent Protective Shield.
Swoosh!!
Colin raised his hand and shot a Cone Bullet at it.
But the black monster showed no reaction at all.
Under the moonlight, he could clearly see that the Cone Bullet simply passed through it like a gel, merely making a hole the size of a finger in the monster.
Then, in the blink of an eye, the hole healed itself.
