In the sea water, three such logs surrounded Regina, one of them even quite larger than the other two.
In the middle, Regina used her sword and qi to deflect and redirect the bullets, but due to their much faster speed in the water compounded by slower movements, she was getting injured all over her body.
Observing for a while, Noctis was left perplexed by her movements. She couldn't cut the ropes, say nothing of doing anything to the logs itself, yet she wasn't trying to get out either.
From time to time she looked towards his position, making sure Cora was safe with him before continuing on playing with near hundreds of ropes meandering around her, barely managing to keep them at bay.
He could see the logs slowly closing in the distance, he didn't know what they intended by dragging someone towards them, but he was sure it was anything but benign.
He couldn't afford to focus on her any longer however, dozens of bullets exited the water, moving quickly towards them.
