Chance to Escape

"Aim at the waters around us! Disrupt the attack!"

Stuck within these circling serpents, the captain shouted out to this crew before pressing a few other buttons. The barrier protecting them grew weaker and power was being diverted somewhere else. 

Meanwhile, the serpents continued to surround the ship, tightening their grasp. 

"Keep it going, destroy the barrier!" the demons shouted together.

And then the barriers began to crack as the pressure mounted before it broke, shattering into pieces before disappearing. 

The watery serpents roared out as they closed in onto the ship, trying to keep it from moving. However, the cannons were loaded and all of them were aimed at the waters. In a single shot from all of them, they blasted the lake surface, causing giant waves and pushing the serpents back. Even the smaller ships were blown back. 

"Get ready and hold on tight!" shouted the captain.
