"Are we almost there?" Jason asked doubtfully from beside him.
It seemed so from what Madru had said. Madru nodded.
"That's good. I thought we might really get attacked halfway through," Jason said with a smile.
His words had barely left his lips when the distant gray-black mist to the side began to sway eerily.
Ripples spread across the water's surface.
"Enemy attack! Those monsters are here!" Simon, flying in the air, shouted loudly.
Hearing this, Madru immediately took control of the group and organized a defense. "Quick, protect these goods!"
Alka and the others also quickly readied themselves.
Jason silently returned to his own group.
The Crystal Dragon that had been following them descended from the sky, its wings beating, and landed in the water.
Spray splashed high on either side.
However, Madru and his men weren't surprised at all. They had been sailing together for several days and had seen this dragon many times.
