Voyage Of The Villainess

The two gigantic monsters were just waiting for them and looking directly at Bruins. On the other hand, the team of Malaya was looking troubled and confused by the next actions they will take after they defeat the gigantic Kraken.

"Everyone, I know all of you are quite tired now and have lost a lot of energy but like what Iris said the real fight was just only beginning at this moment. You need to prepare yourself not just to survive but also to thrive" Malaya started as she noticed some of her team was looking tired. " Remember, the hardest part being a powerful voyager is to do something that no one has ever done before" everyone was just standing still looking directly at Malaya.

" Yeah! We already know that but as you can see in these situations it was quite difficult. So what's the plan, Captain?" Iris asked and everyone waited for Malaya's command.

Malaya grinned. " Then what else should we do? Attack and defeat the monster? That's the plan"

"Wow! What a very detailed-oriented and incredible idea, that is really a great plan, captain." Iris let out a sigh of helplessness. And everyone around them laughed. Well except Rhyme who was now looking anxious." Well, we don't have any choice though but to win"

"Hey!" Everyone stopped what they are doing when Malaya shouted. "All of you, stay alive until the end, that's my command as your, Captain!" 

"Fight" Everyone followed what he said and also raised their right arms.

' Good! It looks like everyone has their own spirit now!' Malaya thought. 

  "Everyone! Let's go!" Iris said as she leaped towards the first Kraken. 

"Rein, Iris, deal with the Kraken on the right side. "Kayden..." Malaya paused when Kayden was already fighting the Kraken. And it seemed it was only a matter of time before it got defeated. 'Seriously he is really powerful. His ability was extraordinary and out of the world, choosing you as a part of the team was one of the best decisions I ever made.'  He is looking at Kayden who is seriously fighting with the Kraken.

"Dorris, Hyun Jae, Lila, observed and continue to support us," Malaya said, as she ripped another talisman and headed towards the left side where Iris and Rein were.

"You're late!" Iris said as she dodged the incoming attack of the Kraken. 

"Oh! Hahaha! My bad!" Malaya laughed off as she landed in the head of the Kraken and tried to aim at its eyes. 

"I wish we had Medusa's head here," Iris said as she continued to pierce the Kraken.

"Well, why did you not write one?" Malaya said as she ripped another talisman.

"How in the world would I know that I will be fighting some Kraken someday?! How I wish I already knew this before!" Iris screamed. With Dorris Teleportation, she was able to maintain leaping from air to air.

"Lady Malaya! Lady Iris! It is almost done!" Rein screamed as he was able to slice one eye of the Kraken making it scream in pain. It became more violent as multiple roars of thunder were heard. And lightning kept striking back and forth.

Kayden who was now approaching their side was now heading in their direction with frightening speed. "We have enough time now," Malaya said. "Let's go back."

"He already defeated the other Kraken. "Iris said as she leaped back at the ship. "Seriously he really has monstrous strength."

"Well, my father just defeated it in one strike though," Malaya said as she landed beside Iris. Rein also landed to their side.

"I apologize if my magic is not working with the rain." Rein said.

"That was completely understandable, Rein!  It's alright." Malaya said. "You have done quite a lot and that is enough."

With swords that were surrounded with great black flames, Kayden slashed the Kraken, completely defeating it. As the Kraken got defeated and drowned in the sea, the sky became visible and clear again. And the towering and raging waves finally calmed down.

"What a beautiful sky and being witnessed how it goes where it only indicates there is always light in the middle of darkness," Lila said. "It is finally over," she released a deep breath.  "What a relief."

Rhyme was on the verge of tears. His hands that were completely gone numb due to steering the wheels too much, dropped on the ground. He tried to catch his breath. " Whoo! You did great, guys!"

"You too," Rein cheered him back.

Everyone looked at the mess of the ship right now. And the tentacles that fell left and right in the ship. "It seems we have a lot of food supplies now," Iris said. " Hmm and they all look so tasty and delicious, huh" 

"Yeah, right." Malaya agreed. "We should  first start cleaning up all of this mess.."

"Sir Rein you have wounds on your arm!" Hyun Jae said as she rushed to his side then started doing her magic. But before the wound completely got closed, Hyun Jae was surprised when her magic died off all of the sudden.

"What's the matter, Hyun Jae?" Rein asked, looking worried by what he witnessed.

"My-my magic, it disappeared." Hyun Jae said fear was completely visible on her face.

"Your magic disappeared?" Malaya asked and everyone gave a knowing look to each other.

"Everyone! Be prepared! We are now approaching the first stage of the Red Current!" Malaya screamed.

And everyone right away went to their formation. Rhyme who was just resting now stood up hurriedly. Up ahead, they can finally see crimson water.

But then Dorris suddenly screamed.

"Sir Kayden! He is falling!" 

Everyone's gaze turned back towards Kayden. 

'Crap his magic didn't make it.' Malaya's eyes were filled with concern. Then he completely dropped on the water.

'But we are still not in the Red Current, he can just still swim back right?' Malaya reassured herself that Kayden would be fine. But five seconds later in Malaya's mind, Kayden was still not going out to the water. ' Wait! Why is he not coming up? Don't tell me he can't swim!' This sudden thought made Malaya afraid now.

Without a moment to waste, she removed her cloak and jumped out of the water! Making everyone scream for her.

Malaya dived in the water to look for Kayden. She finally saw him continuously drowning in the water. 'He has powerful magic but he can't swim! I almost become careless again just when I think that he has a perfect personality and is stronger than anyone else while forgetting he was just a human who also had a weakness. Damn Malaya, you almost lost someone else's life.'

She hurried towards him. And when she reached him, his eyes were already closed and his body didn't move any longer. Malaya hurried up and swam back, but before she could rise to the surface, her eyes widened at the sight in front of her. Then completely swam up.

"Lady Malaya!" Rein also jumped down and swam towards them, to help Malaya reach the boat.

When they finally reached the ship, Malaya immediately pumped Kayden's chest, but moments later, he was still not waking up. Malaya's eyes narrowed. 'Don't tell me, I have no other choice but to do that?' 

Malaya steeled herself. 'This is an emergency situation.' She held Kayden's nose, opened his mouth, and put some air into his body to begin the CPR. Moments later, Kayden finally sat up and started coughing water, which made everyone sigh in relief. 

"That is almost close, I thought I'm going to lose you. That scared me a lot." Malaya released a deep sigh as she put her head to Kayden's chest. "You idiot, when you can't even swim, be more careful next time."

  Kayden glanced down at Malaya. "I'm sorry." He said as he caressed her hair.

Everyone averted their gaze at the two. However, the shrill scream of Rhyme came again. "Everyone, I hate to interrupt your moment! I just want you all to remember that we are now going to enter the whirlpools!"

And at the same time, the ship was finally gaining speed.
