Maybe he shouldn't have spoken too soon.
Not long after, he said that, an arrow whistled through and slammed into their barrier with such force the warship tilted to the side; the ship fizzled, and Litha winced, but it held as she reinforced it with more mana.
A ship, a cruise ship, appeared from the distance like some great bird of prey, curving towards them at terrifying speed, far faster than it should be moving.
Jael swallowed as another arrow, almost too fast for him to see, pierced the air towards them, glowing with energy, but then Tim answered with a stone projectile of his own, and the two collided with a small bust of shockwave.
"They must have some kind of ability that's making them faster, elemental water or air..." Jael told Temur as they watched the ship get closer still. They could now make out the yellow colors and the black paint it was coated in.
"It seems so." Temur nodded grimly. "Cele, join Tim at the front and burn that ship down!"
A fireball soon hovered above their head, glowing red and rolling heat through the whole ship. Cele's cloak flapped behind her, and she pointed; the fireball jerked forward with intense speed, blurring forward in a red streak.
They held their breath as closed the distance, even farther than the moving ship; just as it was about to collide though, a wall of water stood and blocked it.
Jael grimaced as the ship continued to move forward, they could now see figures standing at the front and a flag flapping wildly. His eyes widen. "Is that the flag of The Blazing Guild??!"
The same ones that wanted to kill his teammates earlier because some phyco declared themselves King! Jael gritted his teeth. That's it; he'll have his payback against that assassin-wannabe dwarf!
"The Blazing Guild. Why are they attacking us though? They want to be part of the ten, eh? Tim! Over to you!" Temur shouted.

Tim raised stones, bigger ones the size of heads, and they gleamed black in the sun. He gestured, and they shot off like a big bullet that slammed into the wall of water and ate through it like paper.
The sone smashed into the side of the ship and gouged a large long hole at the top. In retaliation, a sword arc rose up and sped towards them.
Jael breath deeply. "Litha continue with the shield! Others get to the edge and prepare to unleash everything you've got," he turned to the ghost captain. "Can you prove that you can ride the wave like a pro?"

Durgin, the dawlf assassin grinned, rolling his dagger in his hand. "We are about to blow them to slitherings, maybe we'll even get to loot the...."
An aura flared behind him and a smooth voice said. "You serve the King. How dare you think of looting a peasant ship like that? Just destroy them."
Durgin nodded quickly, he gestured to the pesky human woman beside him. "Get your arrows ready, Lyra. Use the strongest. With Orion covering us here in the sea. Nothing can pass through our defense."
Wind blew his red bared in his face and he scowled. "They are here! Get ready! Orion make the waters move us even faster." He heart beat faster in anticipation as he saw the human he saw earlier in the village.
Durgin thought the ship in front of them would move out of the way but they continue on their path. 'Can't they see the heavy armour on the ship?'
"Die you hum...!!"
Booom!
Their ship was lifted as an explosion of green fire that rocked them from below. Durgin gripped the side of the ship as seawater slammed into him and almost sent him flying.
Then their ship hung there and they heard the sound of something cracking. Bitter cold rolled into their ship as the waters that was covering them froze together with the sea surrounding them.
Durgin watched with shuddered breath as the ship they were looking to destroy pass by them and then slowed.
All the occupant smiled and It wasn't a good smile.
