As the two Magic Airships landed on the sea surface once more, four of the Faceless Overlords that had been forcibly towing seven Magic Airships had already died.
Two of them had been frozen into icebergs by concentrated fire from the Magic Airships in the sky.

The first time it emerged from the seabed, it had nearly
