The Lady with the Fiery Hair

"Aaaah!" Followed by a resounding scream, a woman plunged into the ocean water. She gagged, swallowing the ocean water without control as she flailed erratically. She kicked the water like a paddle, eventually gaining control of her body as she surfaced, gasping for air as she coughed. 

Unexpectedly, she had only taken a couple of breaths when she could feel that something was amiss, quickly turning around to see a man lunge a large sword right at her. He was a man of large stature. In his hands was a greatsword, one that he was barely able to use while imbalanced in the water. 

At present, his hands that held the great sword were trembling while nerves protruded out from them, alarmingly so as they turned red, becoming violent, slowly blackening. The blood vessels ruptured upon wielding an equipment of the cultivators as a mortal. He hadn't even realized that he had become a mortal, focusing on slashing his opponent apart first.
