Capítulo 455: Jeci's Resolve [Part 2]

Jeci's movements were swift and precise, a blur of crimson and steel against the backdrop of the looming sea monster.

She had no time to hesitate, no space to falter.

The creature's immense body coiled tighter around the tower, causing it to tilt precariously to one side. Northern's words echoed in her mind:

"This is pure stupidity." But she was determined to prove him wrong, to show that she could be more than just a drifter with a limited ability.

The creature reared its head back, its maw gaping open to reveal rows of jagged teeth.

Jeci's heart pounded in her chest as she braced herself. The creature's jaws snapped shut with a thunderous clap, barely missing her as she leapt backward, her spear twirling in her hands.

She landed gracefully on the edge of the tower, her feet finding purchase on the narrow ledge.

"Focus," she muttered to herself, narrowing her eyes at the beast.
