“…I’m sure there’s a way across! It just hasn’t shown itself yet!” declared Gerald as he immediately began searching for ways to cross the large oceans.
Seeing that, Rey began doing the same. However, even after quite a while had passed, they were unable to find any suitable modes of transportation.
With that, the duo could only sit by the beach, hoping for a miracle to appear…
“…Say, Mr. Crawford…? Do you really think that a ship will come if we just wait around…?” muttered Rey as he looked at the sky.
“I believe in miracles, so yes. Yes, I do,” replied Gerald in a confident tone.
The second his sentence ended, a low rumble could suddenly be heard coming from the ocean…
Getting to their feet, the duo watched wide-eyed as the ocean began bubbling and the waves began to part…! Within seconds, what appeared to be a solidified watery path appeared right atop the ocean’s surface!
Exchanging glances with each other, the delighted Gerald couldn’t help but say, “See? Miracles do exist!”
Before Rey could even reply, Gerald was already rushing over to the watery path… and upon stepping on it, Gerald felt that the path—that was formed by seawater—was soft to walk on, almost as though he was walking on an air cushion…
Seeing that it was safe to walk on, Rey quickly ran after Gerald… And after realizing that he too could walk on water, Rey couldn’t help but exclaim, “How… How truly magical, Mr. Crawford…!”
This was naturally a first for Rey, which explained why he was so shocked. Still, to think that he would be able to actually experience walking on water in his lifetime! Such scenes were usually reserved for television dramas!
The first sight that greeted them was several statues that appeared to be modeled after individuals from the Phangrottom Clan. For some reason, Gerald felt that the statues had been placed there for a reason…
Either way, thanks to how perceptive Gerald was, he was able to realize in time that a volley of arrows had just been shot toward them from inside!
“Duck!” yelled Gerald as he immediately pushed Rey to the side of the entrance.
Gerald himself was just in time to have his back against the opposite side of the entrance as hundreds of arrows began shooting out!
Had Gerald reacted any slower, both of them would’ve surely ended up becoming arrow-filled corpses by now…!
