While the storm on the surface of the sea makes it impossible for anyone close at home to convey a message in words, the world below the surface is eerily quiet. The sight of lightning and lightning in the sky falling into the water as they twist and turn into distorted spots of light may be admirable to humans, but it is not unusual for a kraken who was born and raised at the bottom of the sea. At least not an entire arm has been cut off by the roots.

Fighting in the water tends to be fast, which is an interesting phenomenon, and although the water is thicker than the air, the inhabitants have managed to find a speed that is not inferior to that of the life on land. The cold water makes the creatures living here generally insensitive to pain, so the battle in the sea is often quiet, without so many heart-rending screams, and when the defeated realizes that he has failed, his body has lost its function.

Fortunately, for Fioni, the situation is not so bad. He really didn't have time to react to Jaquia's first attack, because he was so focused on pushing the ship forward and thinking about what to do next, and that small distraction cost his entire arm. The wound on his back was bleeding and aching, but the Kraken just stood on the seabed and looked up at his opponent. This is partly due to the fact that the Kraken's pain nerves are indeed underdeveloped compared to terrestrial creatures, and partly because Fioni has learned his lesson that he is not qualified to be distracted when facing the shark-toothed number one hunter.

The Siren's eyes allowed them to see clearly in the dim waters, especially the heat-infused weapon in Jaquia's hand. The Huntress knew this, but she had no intention of abandoning it, exposing her weapons was really not a good thing for hunters who needed to hide herself, but the Siren didn't need to hide herself right now, she wasn't ambushing, she was hunting. So, she just wanted to tell Fioni that this guy who dared to deceive her, that she was here, and that she could take his life at any time. This pressure in the throat is the real use of this weapon, and the crooks are not entitled to a peaceful death, they must be tortured before they die.

Fioni could probably guess what his opponent was up to, and he knew the shark-toothed hunters better than some hunters themselves. This made him quickly understand why Jaquia didn't kill herself from behind cleanly, and she wanted to pay for cheating on her. The question now is what to do with the angry hunter. With only three arms left, the Siren pondered that he was not a man without combat experience, and that even in his solitary days, Fioni often had to encounter more dangerous opponents than his kind. But that doesn't mean he can do the same with Jaquia, because just as he knows her, hunters speculate about their prey.

After a little thought, Fioni came to a conclusion. The best thing to do right now is to retreat for the time being, although he can't compare to a real hunter in a head-on confrontation, but in terms of speed alone, he is confident that he can compete with Jaquia. The longer the escape path, the more variables there are, the hunter knows the sea, but Fioni understands it, and he believes that he can definitely find an opportunity to escape from this hunt in the process of escaping. And the drawback of this idea is quite obvious, if the Kraken chooses to escape here, then all the agreements between him and the landers are meaningless, without their own help, let alone to rescue their companions, I am afraid that even saving themselves is a fool's dream.

If there was only one huntress among the pursuers, Fioni might have done so, and there were two witches among the four, and they might have a way to bring the other two back to land. But he knew that Jaquia's team would definitely follow their leader later, and that his departure would be tantamount to throwing four land-dwellers who were incapable of fighting back into the mouths of a group of fanatical sharks, and even the witches themselves of the witch group would not dare to risk being alone in the sea against a small group of Kraken hunters. So this best solution is just a dead end.

And since he couldn't escape, he couldn't expect to win Jaquia's forgiveness, the hunters' fury was as famous as their shark companions, and once they decided that the other was an enemy, they wouldn't stop fighting until one of the two sides had shed their last drop of blood. For Fioni, facing each other became his best choice, and with the character of the Siren, even if her team arrived, as long as the two did not decide the winner, she would definitely not allow her subordinates to do it, thus giving the witches time. The only question is whether the witch will be able to understand the current situation and whether she will be able to survive until then.

"What good did the land-men on that ship give you so that you don't turn around and run away now? Jaquia's voice vibrated through the water, the language of the Sirens, and it was like the cries of dolphins or whales, which humans could not understand.

"They didn't need to do me any favors, I'm just stopping you and your people from going on in a crazy way, Lady Hunter. Do you know what will happen if you take that fortress? You are declaring war on the landmen! Countless Krakens will die in battle, their souls filled with anger and remorse, and will never be able to rest in their destination. Fioni replied in the same language. What he said was indeed the main reason for his actions, according to the belief of the Krakens, experiencing great fear and anger before death will leave their souls with no place to belong, and that will be a greater punishment for them than death, and their souls will be torn apart by negative emotions in the waves until the sea dries up.

"The war has already begun, and you have been isolated for too long without hearing the call from the depths. Fioni, shapeshifter, you are the one who has been abandoned by the gods, and there will be no one here who will not be left without you but you! The waves will not take you to your destination, and the same is true of the sharks, you are the one who will be lonely in the deep sea and eaten by shrimp and crabs. And I'm going to make that day what it is today. The hunter pointed the hot-bodied weapon in his hand at Fioni and said in a deep voice.

The Siren was indifferent to Jaquia's intimidation, a curse he had heard too many times since he left the Burning Waves. But he also noticed the implicit meaning of Jaquia's words, "Fierce Waves and Shark Teeth, no, should I say that Lady Wave and the father of the sharks, this time they are together?"
