[Aiden's POV]
This was something I didn't expect, just when we trimmed down their numbers. New pirates would appear. My whole body was aching from the constant use of sigils.
The only good thing was that after opening the 2nd node, my strength increased a little and my mana regeneration capacity was amplified due to the cultivation technique.
Still, every movement I made proved difficult, so I used this condition as an opportunity and started killing the pirates with Nullification-coated punch.
Felicia was my biggest support whenever somebody got too close. She would either freeze them solid and build an ice wall to block their advance.
As the third time more pirates appeared, I noted the glow of another ship, and then suddenly everything clicked.
Immediately, I shouted my finding to Seraphine; we had to leave this boat as soon as possible before we got completely boxed in.
Seraphine asked us to buy some time; I agreed immediately; there was no time to talk much.
