Just as West thought he was about to die, Audric, who was in the fuel compartment, sniffed the air. "Captain, I smell the sea. Something's coming close."
Suddenly, the vampire sailor moved. He rushed to the door, raised his unnaturally sharp claws, and slashed hard at the left side of West's head.
Fetid, dark-purple blood sprayed directly onto West's face.
At the same time, something from inside West's clothes was yanked out. Drops of blood appeared on the floor out of thin air, racing toward the depths of the corridor.
"I smell it! The scent of blood!" Audric bared his fangs and lunged forward.
Charles walked past West, chasing after his crewman.
At that moment, West's face turned completely pale, and his legs trembled uncontrollably. The moment that unknown thing had slipped into his clothes, he thought he was going to die.
