"Boom!" Charles was hurled away by a tremendous force.
The one-armed man swiftly somersaulted in the air, and then stood firmly on the water's surface, glaring at the wounded Clan member above.
As a tentacle gently waved over the continuously bleeding wound, it healed rapidly.
But seeing the octopus head's unsightly complexion, Charles knew his attack had been effective.
"You... you human who betrayed your master's trust!" The terror in the Clan member's eyes was filled with a killing intent as he looked at Charles.
"You do not deserve the master's mark! I'll take it back!"
Just as the Clan member spread out all his tentacles and raised his golden wand, preparing to charge at Charles, a cannonball shot towards him.
The Clan member's body moved forcibly through the air, dodging the attack, his face shifting between light and shadow as he looked down.
