It was already night. The white sailing ship was anchored on the sea, figures moving across the deck as the sailors watched Damir Port in the distance.
That afternoon, fierce winds had howled there, lightning and thunder had raged, and flames had soared through the air. In the end, a terrifying creature had even appeared, making it feel as though the Apocalypse had arrived.
Fortunately, those phenomena had disappeared before evening. Even so, the sailors still did not dare lower their guard.
Nefi and the others stood near the rail, anxiously looking toward Damir Port. The harbor was brightly lit, and faint voices drifted over, yet the person they were waiting for had still not appeared.
"Don't worry."
Caven coughed, then tightened the crystal pendant coiled around his wrist. "I performed a divination just now. The captain is safe."
Nefi stomped her foot anxiously. "Then why isn't the boss back yet?"
The sailors nervously looked at the deck, worried the girl might stomp a hole through it. Fortunately, Nefi had shown some restraint, and the deck remained intact.
At that moment, Chik pointed at the sea and cried out, "Look! There's a boat!"
Everyone craned their necks and looked in the direction the gray-haired man was pointing. Sure enough, they saw a small boat slowly approaching over the sea illuminated by the crimson moonlight.
A moment later, Sifa boarded the deck.
"Boss!"
The moment he stepped onto the deck, Sifa heard a shout. Then he saw the tall girl rushing toward him.
He immediately sucked in a breath, just about to tell her to stop, when Nefi had already wrapped him in a hug.
The crushing pressure made it hard for him to breathe. He seemed to hear his bones groaning, while Nefi's worried voice rang in his ears.
