‘Since the rules are set that if the top three cannot go, those behind will take their place, the game probably won’t allow summoning people over, Leeanne thought.
Emmett tried and sighed. [Yeah, it doesn’t work. Leeanne, you gotta hurry up!]
Leeanne was just as anxious to speed things up.
Her raft was almost airborne.
Emmett said reassuringly, [Don’t worry, according to the usual pattern, it should take you just twenty minutes or so to get there, so you’ll make it just in time.]
But Leeanne was still worried.
Snowy stood at the bow, following the little shell, speeding along.
Suddenly, the Omni Radar blared again, “Danger! Danger! Turn immediately! Turn immediately!”
This time, without Snowy’s guidance, the raft whipped around by itself.
Leeanne grew anxious. “What’s happening?”
The Omni Radar replied in its mechanical voice, “Man–eating shark detected ahead! Escape at full speed! EPlease escape at full speed!”
Not far behind the raft, Leeanne spotted a section of the shark’s back bobbing up and down in the water.
Leeanne asked, “Can’t we just go around it?”
The Omni Radar replied, “Man–eating sharks detected ahead, left, and right! Evacuate quickly!”
‘Seriously? Surrounded on three sides again?‘ Leeanne fumed. ‘What kind of nightmare luck is this? No, it’s not just bad luck. This is next-level awful.
‘No way we can turn back now. If I hesitate for even a second, I’m definitely gonna be late!‘
The raft slowed for a moment, and the man–eating shark was already closing in. Leeanne checked its info. [Tier 4 Man- Eating Shark!]
Tier 4!‘ Leeanne’s heart dropped. “This thing’s way too strong. I might not even last against it by myself, and even if I somehow manage to kill it, it’ll take me at least half an hour. I’m definitely gonna be late. What should I do?‘
Leeanne turned her head and peeked at the chat channel, which was blowing up again.
[Crap, I just ran into a man–eating shark!] Valentine shouted.
[Seriously, how are you so unlucky? Hurry up!] Emmett chimed in.
Valentine replied, [It’s a Tier 4 mutated great white shark. No way I’m going anywhere near that thing. Just trying to stay alive here.]
‘A Tier Four mutated great white shark? That’s even higher level than mine!‘ Leeanne thought. Valentine’s luck has to be
even worse than mine.

Someone in the chat asked, [What’s going on? Valentine’s luck is just ridiculous.]
Emmett chimed in, [Yeah, seriously. Wait, where’s Leeanne? Did something hold her up, too?]
Leeanne replied, [I ran into a Tier 4 mutated great white shark, too!]

Emmett was stunned. [No way, that’s just too much of a coincidence! You and Valentine both got hit by a hurricane, and now you’re both facing mutated great white sharks?
[Even your encounters are identical. There’s definitely something fishy going on!]
Valentine sneered, [If neither of us can make it, someone else will step up. Let’s see who ends up benefiting from all this.]
Someone suddenly shouted, [Hey, it’s Bailey and Gideon!]
Gideon said, [I can’t sing, so I’m out!]
Emmett grumbled, [Come on, Gideon, you can’t just bail because you can’t sing. What if the merman prince has a thing for off–key voices? You might be his type!]
Danelle added, [Honestly… I just got here myself and got hit by a storm too. I’m in sixth place, and stepping in as a backup never even crossed my mind.]
Valentine snorted, [Huh, Bailey!]
Emmett said, [Wait, Bailey’s in fourth place…]
Bailey replied, [Don’t call me. This has nothing to do with me. I’m not that capable!]
Valentine shot back, [But what if you actually are?]
Bailey snapped, [Valentine, instead of whining and picking fights, why don’t you get over here quickly? Seriously, is that all you’ve got?]
Valentine sneered, [Oh, Bailey. Just wait!]
Leeanne frowned and closed the chat window.
She definitely suspected someone was pulling strings behind the scenes, but now wasn’t the time to get hung up on that. She needed to reach the Cloudship Song Gala as quickly as she could.
Getting there on time was the greatest revenge against the schemers.
This time, nothing was going to keep her away.
Leeanne gripped the Harpoon Launcher and the shark net tightly. “Time to see what these things can really do, she thought.
She couldn’t just run off and leave the raft behind. If the man–eating shark caught up to it, her home would be destroyed, and Maeve wouldn’t be able to handle it alone.
She had to make sure everything was safe here before she could leave.
She turned to the Omni Radar and said, “Once I jump in and hold off the man–eating shark, you get the raft out of here.”
She was about to take on the man–eating shark herself. If things got too dangerous and she couldn’t hold out, Maeve could always pull her back with a summon. If she couldn’t win, she’d bail.

After making sure Maeve was ready, Leeanne called out to Little Blue and Snowy, “Come on, let’s charge!”
With me and two loyal pets by my side, what’s there to be scared of?‘ Leeanne thought.

She grabbed her gear, and as soon as the man–eating shark closed in, she squeezed the trigger on the Harpoon Launcher. With a sharp bang, the harpoon shot straight into the shark’s side.
The man–eating shark went berserk, churning up the water as it thrashed, and with one violent jerk, the harpoon tore loose.
Without hesitation, Leeanne dove into the water, taking the fight to the man–eating shark, while Little Blue and Snowy flanked her, ready to assist.
The Omni Radar steered the raft away.
Leeanne had the shark net, but she had to injure the man–eating shark first. Otherwise, the net wouldn’t be able to trap a Tier 4 beast like this.
After all, these man–eating sharks were fierce as hell.
Leeanne moved through the water like a fish, firing the Harpoon Launcher again and again, leaving the shark’s body covered in wounds.
It looked impressive, but honestly, it wasn’t doing much.
The shark’s skin was ridiculously thick. The harpoons only grazed its tough hide, barely hurting it at all.
After more than ten minutes, the man–eating shark was still as fierce as ever, while Leeanne was getting exhausted.
‘No, I can’t afford to stall any longer,‘ Leeanne thought.
If she kept fighting, even if she managed to kill the man–eating shark, she’d still be late for the Cloudship Song Gala.
Honestly, if she’d stayed on the raft, she’d already be late by now.
Leeanne thought for a moment, then turned to Little Blue. “How about I give you an Evolution Pill?”
With the Evolution Pill, Little Blue’s abilities would get a huge boost, and Leeanne could ride it straight to the Cloudship Song Gala. That way, she might actually make it in time.
Once evolved, Little Blue’s strength and speed would both increase dramatically.
Of course, ever since Little Blue had already leveled up, Leeanne had never used an Evolution Pill on it before. She wasn’t sure just how much it would change.
Little Blue was excited. “Yeah, sure!”
